SCHOOL IS STARTING AGAIN with the coming of fall. It
is my personal hope that more young Georgians than ever before
are deciding to continue their education.
Although our State has made tremendous progress in educa
tion in recent years, we still have a long way to go. We still
have the nation’s highest dropout rate, and until we correct this
situation, it will be impossible for all the people of our State to
tulfill their God-given potential and abilities.
For the past several years, between the 9th and 12th grades, we
have seen young Georgians drop out of school by the thousands.
This is a tragic drain upon our resources that must be stopped.
If we are to have first-rate leadership in the future, we must
have first-rate education today. Most important of all, this means
that our young people must get in school and stay in school,
# e #’
EDUCATION IS THE KEY to many of our other problems,
including unemployment, housing, hunger, and civil disorder. If
men have an adequate education and training, they will be able
to get jobs and to feed and care for their families.
But it is not for its practical value alone that education is 5o
important. As an end unto itself, learning pays returns that can
not be measured. It increases the ability of men to better cope
with the problems of the day. There are many, and they are
more complex than ever before.

ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES has always been education
and fraining. In fact, during my years as Governor, the State spent
more on education than in all previous administrations combined.
My concern for improving education and expanding opportuni
ties has continued during my 13 years in the Senate. 1 have
supported all measures to provide our schools with better facili
ties, and more qualified teachers, particularly in economically
depressed areas where they are needed the most,
In our complicated society, there are of course enormous pres
sures on our young people, which very often lead to falling behind
in school and eventually dropping out. And, in these cases, by
the time the mistake is realized, it is too late. The ranks of the
unemployed are. comprised mainly of young people in this pre
dicament.
I urge young men and women who are in school to stay there
and to go as far as possible, and those who have dropped out
should get back into school or into one of the many available job

Governor Maddox again con
founded the political prophets
last week when he named Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals
Jule Felton to the State Supreme
Court, and then appointed Thom
son attorney Randall Evans to
Felton's vacated spot. To the
best of our knowledge, this col
umn is the only publication that
mentioned ahead of the ap
pointments that Felton and Ev
ans might get the jobs.
There can be no legitimate
criticism of either appointment.
Judge Felton has had 32 years
experience on the appellate
co%,fi and is considered a top
not¢h” constitutional lawyer. Mr.
Evans is known by both laymen
and fellow members of the bar
as one of the state’s shrewdest
lawyers. In addition, Evans
served in the General Assembly
and was Speaker of the House
in 1941-42.
Nobody seems sure of just why
Lester didn't name Peyton
Hawes to the top court, but
some say that political strategist
Roy V. Harris persuaded the
‘Governor to work it out so that
Mr. Evans could be named to
one of the Courts. And, though
we can't vouch for the accuracy
of this thinking, it is said also
that the Governor and Mr. Har
ris are hoping that they will be
able to persuade Mr. Evans to
become a candidate for governor
in the 1970 elections. The Thom
son lawyer is a strong conser
vative and was a Wallace elec
tor in 1968. Few people in the
state could challenge his guali
fications to secure the vote of
the dyed-in-the-wool Wallace
supporters, which would make
him a formidable candidate.
However, some of his future
colleagues on the Court of Ap
peals pooh-pooh the idea, saying
that they know Evans truly loves
the law and wants to wind up his
distinguished career with service
on one of the state’s highest
courts.
AL any rate, there'll be a lot
of speculation about this in
months to come.

Two or three hundred persons
well known in Georgia politics
attended a barbecue at Susan
Hayward's former home near
Carrollton last Saturday night,
an affair given by Hapeville
banker Arthur Jackson in honor
of Joe Sports, Executive Direc
tor of the Democratic Party of
Georgia. The occasion was Mr.
Jackson's second gesture of sup
port for Mr. Sports for Comp
troller-General in next year's
election. His first was the dona
tion of $25,000 about a month
ago.
It had been thought that Joe
would announce his candidacy at
the 'cue but he only hinted that
he would do so sometime after
the first of the year. But, if the
gathering was any evidence,
Sports is held in high regard by
many persons oever the state.

James L. Bentley, whose office
is in charge of fire safety in
Georgia, has gone out of his way
to make sure that a new private
school at Valdosta met all safety
requirements and received their
license to operate. This school
will start with 220 pupils, rang
ing from kindergarten to the Sth
‘grade, and is a product of HEW
forcing Valdosta to discard its
freedom of choice plan for stu
dents. Apparently, Mr. Bentley,
like 90% of all Georgians, thinks
children should be allowed to
pick whichever school they
want to atiend.

N, ‘ § From The Nurse's
RN CASE FILE |
i ;a‘\;
- FROM THE NURSE'S CASE FILE
Ed. Note: To many of her clients, the public health nurse is advisor,
confidante, friend . . . a source of help and strength in sickness and
in health. To others of the general public, she is a puzzling figure, a
woman in uniform with duties and responsibilities that are little
known and less apprecisted. FROM THE NURSE’S CASE FILE
takes you behind the scenes and gives you a glimpse of the public
health nurse as she lives and works in Georgia today. All accounts
are based on actual case histories; only the names of the people
involved have been changed to preserve their right to privacy.
THE CASE OF THE UNLOVED CHILD
Linda G. is the youngest of eight children, all of whom
have been hospitalized at one time or another. The children
were grossly neglected by the parents, cared for by their
brother from the time he was old enough to manage, and
finally placed in foster homes.
I became acquainted with Linda when her foster mother
called the Health Department, asking for advice and assis
tance in caring for the child. Mrs. Dix, the foster parent,
was concerned that Linda wasn’t showing a proper rate of
growth and development for a 13-month old child, and
wouldn’t eat properly.
If 1 hadn’t been a nurse and hadn’t spent some time
observing retarded children, I would have been appalled at
what 1 found at the Dix home. Linda was kept in a crib
continuously because she bumped into furniture and hurt
herself on the floor. She moved around the crib on hands
and feet with knees stiff. She would not play with toys
despite my coaxing or that of Mrs. Dix. She could hold a
bottle, but not a cup. She was small and emaciated, would
eat only milk and cereal, could say “bye” and would wave
feebly. Linda cried when she saw diaper pins, Mrs. Dix had
discovered. I naturally wondered, as her foster mother did,
about the origin of this fear.
Linda’s medical checkup prior to placement in the foster
home had revealed that she had severe bronchitis, a middle
ear infection, and an old fracture of the right arm.
I suggested that Mrs. Dix continue to offer Linda other
foods at meal time and try to get her to taste them. I
thought brightly colored fruit, in particular, might appeal
to her along with eggs, gelatin salads with grated vegetables,
and chopped lean beef or chicken.
I emphasized to Mrs. Dix that extreme patience, and
kind care would be required in Linda’s case. 1 gave her the
date and time of the next well-child clinic and urged her to
bring the little girl, which she did.
Linda has been seen by the clinic doctor regularly, and I
have made periodic visits to the home to check on her
progress and to lend what assistance I could to Mrs. Dix.
Linda learned to walk at 19 months, to drink out of a
cup, and began to assist the foster mother with dressing.
She developed an interest in dolls and toy animals and
would carry them about the house. She had an enormous
appetite, but gained only 4 pounds in 10 months.
At 23 months, Linda went into the Crippled Children’s
Clinic program on the recommendation of our health de
partment physician. Here she was given psychological tests
which indicated a mental age of 19 months, IQ 68, and
moderate to mild retardation. At 29 months, Linda had
begun to make progress. She has attained a mental age of
26 months, an IQ of 88 — almost enough improvement to
lift her out of the retarded category!
Now Linda is three, and there’s every reason to feel she
will develop normally. She is a pretty brown-eyed redhead,
friendly and outgoing, unafraid and quick to laughter. She
is being considered for adoption!
When I think of Linda, as I first saw her, and consider
the small part I played in helping this defenseless little girl,
it makes me pretty proud to be a public health nurse!

“Drive Carefully”
Campaign Begins
ATLANTA (PRN) — Today
the AAA Georgia Motor Club
launches its annual appeal to
motorists to take special
precautions when driving near
schools. “When school doors
re-open, O.C. Hubert, the
Club’s President said,
thousands of children will be
going to and from school for
the first time. They need every
protection motorists can give
them.” “We particularly want
to get the ‘word’ to drivers who
have no children of their own,””
he stated. ‘“They are the ones
who are most apt to forget that
special speed zones and school
crossings must again be
observed now that the summer
vacation is over.”
The AAA Georgia Motor
Club will distribute several
thousand ‘“‘School’s Open”
posters throughout the state
suggesting these safety tips:
1. Local authorities should
‘make certain that cross walks,
particularly those around
school areas, are clearly marked
well before the -opening of
school.
2. Parents of youngsters
attending school for the first
time should familiarize
themselves with the safest
route to school - the tne most
protected by lights, police and
school patrolmen - and
accompany their children to
and from school for the first
week or so.
3. Motorists are urged to
observe closely the reduced
speed lights in school zones. In
many cities, school zone speed
limits are removed during the
summer, and motorists
sometimes forget to observe
the lower limits when they are

4. Parents should urge their
children to cooperate with
School Safety Patrols, who
perform an indispensable
service in accident prevention.
Since the Patrol was organized
in the early ‘2o’s, the traffic
death rate for school-age
children has been reduced by
50%.
5. Advise your children to
cross the street only at corners
where they will be protected by
traffic signals and the Safety
Patrols.
6. Drive your youngsters to
and from school only if
absolutely necessary. Making
the trip on their own can teach
your children self-reliance.
7. When possible, exchange
rides with neighbors to reduce
traffic congestion around
schools.
8. Do not double-park in the
school zone. This creates anr
accident hazard and prevents
the orderly movement of
traffic.
9. Advise your children to
avoid playing in the street.
Most schools provide safe
playgrounds with adult
supervision.
10. Carefully observe the
laws governing school buses.
‘“A -playing child
concentrafes only on activities
of the moment. He has little
time to watch for approaching
cars. It is the job of the adult
motorist to remain alert. The
child you save could be your
own,”’ said the Club’s
President.
