late Thursday night after a long
fight against his medical trou- '

realized for some time was a
losing fight. He had been in

John Duggar Post of the Amer
ican Legion. He was a native of
Bulloch county and had lived in
Pembroke for the past 10 years.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Irene Denmark; two step sons,
H. Cameron Thompson of New
Orleans, La., and James F.
Thompson of Trinidad, 8.W.1.,
and a step daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Webster of Morgan City, La.
Funeral services for Mr. Den
mark were held at 3:30 p.m. at
the First Baptist Church ol
Pembroke. Services were con
ducted by Rev. Zephoe Belcher,
Elder Wilmer Lynn, Rev. Gord
on Hunter, pastor. Active pall
bearers were Charles Daniel,
Wilson Exley, Ben Brewton,
Jr., Daniel Strickland, Dan Bry
ant, Alvin Futch. Honorary

the American Legion Post,
Floyd Strickland, J. E. Strick
land, Harry Hagan, Henry

Congratulations
Mrs. Lewell A. Turner

Dear Mrs. Turner:
Congratuations — to you, and
to our other volunteer workers
in Bryan County, on Bettering
Your Best in the 1969 Educa
tion Funds Crusade. The final
county standings bulletin shows
that 119 volunteers in your
county performed some activity
in one or more of the American
Cancer Society’s life - saving
programs during the year end
,ed August 31st.
Every volunteer is a potential
cured cancer patient. One in
every 4 of us will someday de
velop cancer, at the present
rate. Half of those who de
velop cancer now can be saved
if they obtain proper treatment
in the early stage.
Bryan County contributed sl,-
318.52, which is a new high and
87'/ of the 1969 goal. Georgia
as a whole contributed $1,257,-
615.13, also a new high, and
94% of the State goal.
Cancer is also increasing.
Last year 5,534 Georgians were
killed by it—s 2% of them under
65 years of age. This is four
times as many as the traffic
death toll.
We must increase our life
saving efforts and involve more
volunteer workers. I appeal to
you to continue your active sup
port and participation until
that day when research brings
the solution to this terrible
threat to mankind.
Thank you for all that you
nave done, are doing and will do
to help save more lives from
cancer.
Sincerely,
Claude H. Poindexter
State Chairman
1969 Education-
Funds Crusade
I would like to add my con
gratulations and thanks to Bry
an County for doing such a
good job on the cancer drive.
Thank you volunteers and con
tributors.
Gwen C. Turner.

Governor Gives
His Views About
Campus Dissent
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, who was de
nied the privilege of attending
college as a young man because
of lack of funds, has some defi
nite views about what is taking
place on college campuses in
America today.
The governor expressed his
views the other evening in a
speech to the University of
Georgia’s Phi Kappa Literary
Society in Athens.
Describing a college campus
as “a melting pot of different
ideas,” Gov. Maddox said “as
these ideas meet, we get fu
sions, fizzles and fissions. The
fusions are good. The fizzles
the inevitable. And the fissions
are necessary. But the fissions
of ideas can be just as danger
ous as nuclear fission unless
the game is played by some
kind of rules.” He went on to
say:
“An intelligent and question
ing person will find many as
pects of our society in general,
and of our institutions of high
er learning in particular, to be
in need of change.
“Students always have had,
and likely always will have,
some gripes. Sometimes these
gripes are justified; sometimes
they are not. When a student or
professor, or any other person,
has a legitimate complaint
about anything, there should be
some avenue through which he
or she can express such dissent
and receive a fair hearing.
“Students who come to a uni
versity to study, to learn and to
grow in experience have that
right. Professors who come to
a university to study, to teach
and to experiment have that
right. Parents, and other tax
payers, who support a university
and its students and who expect
their investments to be used
wisely and efficiently have that
right.”
But, Gov. Maddox declared, “I
can foresee no circumstances
under which these rights of
parents, taxpayers, students
and professors might justifi
ably be superceded by the
rights of one or more students
to dissent . . . The facts are
simple: We will have lawful,
responsible and orderly univer
sities, or we will have no uni
versities at all.”
Conviction
Upheld
The Georgia Supreme Court
has upheld the murder con
vict i 0 n of Steve Bartow
Suggs. 22, of Millen, who was
sentenced to death last Octo
ber for the stabbing death of
an 18-year-old girl.
Limerick Odom, assistant
prosecuting attorney in the
case, said Suggs is in Reids
ville state prison awaiting
‘’resentencing.” Suggs had
been sentenced to be electro
cuted on Nov. 14, 1968.
Suggs was convicted by a

Senate-Adopted
Food Plan Went
Too Far-Herman
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, who
has worked long and hard for
legislation to expand the fed
eral food stamp program,
thinks the highly liberalized
version of a bill aimed in that
direction, which the Senate
passed by a vote of 54-40, went
too far. In fact, he branded it
“a monster."
The Senate, in adopting the
substitute measure sponsored
by Sen. George McGovern
(D.S.D.), side tracked a less
ambitious food stamp package
put together by Sen. Talmadge
and the Senate Agriculture
Committee, of which the Geor
gian is a ranking member, Tal
madge’s idea on food stamp re
form is considered by many to
be the more practical.
In a statement on the Senate
floor, the Georgia junior sena
tor charged that the Senate
“has gone too far.” He said it
was his “considered opinion that
the House committee will not
adopt the proviisons that we
have just agreed to.”
The McGovern amendment
would provide free food stamps
for families with less than S6O
a month income; make a family
of four with less than $4,000 t
year income eligible for th<
stamps would pay more than 2!
per cent of its income for them
Sen. McGovern’s proposet
outlay of $1.25-billion forth,
current year compares with onl;
$750-million recommended b;
the Agriculture Committee an<
$6lO million requested by th<
Nixon administration.
“I deeply regret,” Sen. Tai
madge told the Senate, “that ii
pursuing what I think is 1
worthwhile end—that is to ai<
the poor, those who live ii
poverty, and those who suffei
from malnutrition — today th<
Senate has established a mon
ster which attempts to giv<
food stamps to everyone in th(
country on their word alone an<
on their affidavit regardless ol
their financial circumstance.”
He said he also objected t<
the provision that would allov
a family earning $4,000 to par
ticipate and a provision tha
would allow food stamps to b(
used to purchase items so)
cleanliness, hygiene and hom<
sanitation.
The Georgia senator compli
mented Sen. McGovern foi
bringing the problems of hung
er to the attention of the na
tion through his Select Commit
tee on Hunger and Malnutri
tion. (McGovern is chairman
and Talmadge is a member of
the committee.)
However, Sen. Talmadge said
he felt the Agriculture Com
mittee was “quite generous” in
increasing funds for food
stamps to $750-million this year
from a fiscal 1969 level of $315-
million.

Ye Editor And
Wife See Braves
Baseball Games
Today (Monday) it looks like
to Ye Editor that the Atlanta
Braves will be a contender in
this years world series.
Being a fan of the Braves we
took off and went for a visit
with the J. P. Rodgers family,
former residents of Pembroke
and we saw three of the finest
and most exciting baseball
games we have ever seen, we
saw the Braves win on Friday
night, and again on Saturday
afternoon and saw the game on
Sunday when they won another
game, and left Atlanta for
Pembroke after the game, and
got back home Sunday night at
10:30, and now we are back on
the job of producing this weeks
paper, and getting back living
as just ordinary “poor folks,”
which we are. But had you seen
us on our trip you would have
thought that we had “struck
oil.”
There is nothing like being
able “ever so often” putting on
the dog, and visit with your
friends, and have them wine
and dine you, and that is just
what we enjoyed over the past
week-end.
Atlanta has gone “baseball
mad,” and we are looking for
ward to seeing the Braves and
Mets play this coming Saturday
and Sunday for the right to de
cide who plays the American
League for the Worlds Baseball
Title, and we already have seats
for these games “if we make it”
over the Mets next Saturday
and Sunday. After the baseball
season is over, we will come
back to earth and give our time
to The Journal. Please pardon
“us old folks” trying to get a
little out of life by attending
these bail games.—F.O.M.
Government Out
Os Touch With
People-Maddox
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, speaking at
dedication ceremonies for the
Kendall Company’s $5-million
hospital products plant in Au
gusta, said the federal govern
ment has lost touch with real
ity and needs some of the “new
found honesty, efficiency and
morality” he has brought to
state government.
“Some of our national poli
ticians are so wrapped up in
themselves and their Fifth Ave
nue politiial gimmicks that they
have lost touch with the people
and with reality,” he declared.
“They really believe that they
can put socialism in a fancy
package, label it ‘Great Society’
and sell it to hard-working,
God-fearing, patriotic Ameri
cans who can see through this
gauze of deceit,
“Personally, I don’t want any
‘New Federalism’ or ‘New
Deal.’ I just want some good
old-fashioned freedom and con
stitutional federalism which
gives me a square deal.”
The governor urged those
gathered for the dedication to
take a more active interest in
their government and to do a
little pressuring of their own.
