Reports People
ATLANTA (PRN) - We
have seen, and are seeing, the
results of federal intervention
and seizure of local control of
education. We see the federal
government increasing .its
death grip control over public
education, and at the same
time, we see a corresponding
increase in disrespect for our
country, its flag, our teachers
and civil authority. In many
cases, we _____
are witness
ing a lower
ing of the
level of
e d ucat ion
and an
increase in
disorders,
confusion,
violence
and crime.
As parents, we want to teach
our children to be productive,
to be achievers, to be leaders, to
believe in his country, to
believe in the democratic
process, to believe in a great
heritage, to believe in
patriotism and loyalty, and to
believe in fair play.
Yet, when they sit on a bus
riding across town or down a
dusty country road to another
school which the federal
government says they have to
attend, when there is a school
only a few blocks away or only
down the road a short distance,
how, then, can we expect them
to believe in the principles
which are the cornerstones of
America' 1
They see the basic precepts
of our country being abolished
and trampled by the very
people who should hold these
rights and liberties most sacred.
Some of our students are
seeing what can be gained from
college and university
administrators just by
demanding that the rules be
changed. These demands are
being made by a few misguided,
mistaken misfits who have
decided that the going is too
tough. They are demanding
that admission standards be
lowered, grading levels be
abolished and all rules and
regulations governing behavior
be thrown out the

Make the
Great Escape.
Switch to a
flameless electric heat pump
It’s the simplest way to get the range on weather
perfection for keeps. Pick the temperature that appeals
to you. Set the thermostat once.
Then, with never a command from you, the heat
pump will deliver warm or cool air as needed to
maintain the perfect indoor climate. The air will be
filtered and dehumidified. And your home will stay
quieter and cleaner.
To promise victory over the stings of outrageous
weather is one thing. To guarantee it is another. But
for a small monthly charge, our 10-year warranty will
do just that —all parts and labor included.
So, where weather’s concerned, don’t strike your
colors. The electric heat pump is here. To make
easy your great escape.

window(along with college
officials).
In many instances, our
young people are learning that
if they protest, lock up
constituted officials, riot,
throw some molotov cocktails
and pelt policemen with filth,
they can have almost anything
they want.
Too many of our people are
not getting a real education
that will prepare them to meet
the demands of living and
earning a living, but they are
getting lessons in how to get
without giving.
They should fit perfectly
into the welfare society which
so many of our leaders have
been advocating . . .leaders not
only in government, but in
many of our large church
organizations.
Last weekend, I saw '/here
one large church publication
had an editorial advising Lester
Maddox to “knock off”
standing up for the children of
this State and this nation and
“get on to something that
counts.”
Can you imagine an official
publication of a church taking
such a stand as this? What in the
world, 1 ask you, cart be more
important than our children
and their education?
In my book, there is
nothing to equal the issue of
education in America today,
and I think it’s high time that
public officials everywhere
came to this realization.
Certainly, crime, poverty,
transportation, housing, health
and al] the other programs for
which we are spending billions
of dollars — and for which
President Nixon is proposing to
spend billions more — are
important.
We must feed the hungry
who cannot feed themselves.
We must train those who want
to work but who have no
marketable skills. We must
build better roads and
highways and find cures for the
physical and mental! ills of our
people.
But, if we solve all these
problems and make great
progress in ail of these areasand
lose our freedom in the process,
then we have gained nothing.
When I talk about the
education of our children, I am
not just talking about teaching
the ABC’s. I am talking about
the very survival of this nation
as a free republic.
I believe that the problems
besetting education in America
today merit the undivided
attention of the President, the
U.S. Congress and all other
servants of the people.
I would recommend that
these top public officials set
aside all other domestic matters
at this time and concentrate
their energies on cleaning up
the mess which has resulted
from giving too much power
and too little attention to the
bureaucrats who have
“knocked off” trying to
provide our children with a
worthy education and have
concentrated their full efforts
on destroying the basic
freedoms of all Americans,
black and white, ■in a
promotion of a long-since
disapproved social theory.
Until the chaos which has
been made of education can be
cleared up, 1 believe that Mr.
Nixon should put his new
welfare program in a drawer
and that the Congress should
cancel their vacation flights
which they have planned and
stay in session until the job is
done;

Outdoor Pastime
Seen As Stopper
Os Heart Attack
ATLANTA, (GPS) — With
high-pressure, hypotension and
heart attacks increasing at an
alarniing rate in today’s fast
moving parade of humanity,
the current issue of the Georgia
State Parks News released by
State Parks Director John L.
Gordon, has an interesting and
timely article on the relation
ship between outdoor recreation
and the control of heart disease.
Dr. Joseph Wilbur, director
of the State Health Depart
ment’s Cardiovascular Disease
Control, in an interview with a
member of the Parks Depart
ment’s staff, pointed out a defi
nite relationship between out
door recreation and the preven
tion of heart disease.
Dr. Wilbur explained, the ar
ticle said, that lack of exercise
and outdoor recreation is one of
the five major factors believed
to contribute to heart attacks
and strokes, “factors which can
be so easily eliminated.”
“We don’t know why, exact
ly,” he continued in the inter
view, “but we think regular
exercise and relief from daily
tension helps to strengthen the
heart muscles.”
The heart specialist further
explained that outdoor recrea
tion helps to ward off common
tensions known to contribute to
the development of ulcers, nerv
ousness, sleeplessness and other
ailments.
Asked by the interviewer to
evaluate the relationship be
tween outdoor recreation in
Georgia’s state parks and the
control ,of heart disease, Dr.
Wilbur suggested that time
spent in the parks might be
time added on to one’s life span
for, as the article stated, “a
visit to any one of these parks
is an encounter with nature’s
own physical therapy — fresh
air, exercise, rest and, in gen
eral, a completely recreating
spirit unique to the great out
doors.”
