Politics oil Paradi SM /7|\\ liW The Julian Bond OEO grant story, which this column scooped the state on several weeks ago, has now hit the headlines of At lanta Newspapers, Inc., and, ac cording to their Washington cor respondent, will have to be ex plained to the powerful Senator Richard B. Russell by OEO di rector Donald Rumsfield. Though Senator Talmadge wasn’t quoted in the story, he is just as incensed as Russell and has taken his complaint to the White House. We don’t know this for sure, but we have no doubt that Georgia’s 10 Representa tives are upset, too. When Senator Russell ques tions Rumsfield we hope he'll ask him why OEO accepted two bids from virtually the same people. Besides Frontiers Un limited, which won the contract, Bond's other public relations front put in a bid, which was $20,000 less than the winning bid. Another thing we don’t under stand is how did a radcal Demo crat like Bond get a $155,000 con tract from a Republican admin istration? No one will ever know the truth, but there has undoubtedly been millions of dollars thrown away by OEO all over the nation in give-away payments to radi cal-liberals, both white and black. ****** Atlanta Constitution Capitol reporter Gene Stephens is either the most ignorant political writer covering the Statehouse, or he connived with some other party for devious reasons, when he quoted Highway Director James L. Gillis as saying he "had the Georgia legislature in his hip pocket”. Why, even a third rate poli tician wouldn’t have made such a ridiculous statement, much less the smartest politician in Geor gia. True, Mr. Gillis has a great deal of influence with legislators, but we can name at least a dozen other men who have a lot of influence with them, too. But, 50 years of politics has certainly taught Mr. Jim not to make such a crude faux pas as Stephens at tributed to him. ****** Senator Russell has urged President Nixon to appoint Dr. Ralph Phelps, of Arkansas, as regional director of the OEO. Governor Maddox is expected to add his recommendation shortly. Dr. Phelps held this job several CITY DAIRY CO.

Several years ago he was in a plane I crash at Brunswick. Last week, he was flying down to Dublin for a speech, but when they tried to 1 land the landing gear wouldn’t ■ come down. The tower diverted the plane to Macon, but the Ma i con tower sent it on to Atlanta ' where crash equipment is avail s able. The pilot flew over the i Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, and s the crash crews were ready be > low. But, they managed to crank it down by hand and the • plane landed safely. i *»*♦»• I PUN OF THE WEEK — A ■ visitor to the Governor’s office : returned home and wrote Mad , dox a letter. In conclusion, he i said: “By the way, Governor, I see you’re losing the battle of , the mini skirts". Shortly after Lester came into i office he issued a directive • against mini skirts in the execu tive suite. However, in the last year, the pretty young things I working there have forgotten what he said. Personally, we’re i glad they did, and we’re glad that the Governor forgot it, too. • We hope he doesn’t read this and decide to lower the boom . er, hem. again. THE PRESIDENTS PLANS to pull another 35,000 American soldiers out of Vietnam indicate a phased withdrawal that could have us out of the war perhaps by 1971. With more than half a million United States troops fighting in Vietnam, this 35,000 plus the August pullout of 25,000 still amounts to little more than a token gesture at this time. Based on past performance, 1 don't believe it will placate the Communists or do very much to move the Paris peace talks closer to a settlement. They know the war is still being fought on their terms and so far they haven’t seen anything to make them think otherwise. Yet, the troop withdrawal is some small comfort to American citizens who are sick to death of the war. A Georgia mother wrote me the other day that the way things have been going over there she could probably expect to see the day come when her 1 O-year old son would reach draft age and be sent to Vietnam. The fighting goes on. American boys are still being killed or ; wounded. And we are told to expect to be involved in the war ! tor at least another two years. * * * IN OUR 200-YEAR HISTORY, the United States has been ; involved in many international conflicts. In this century alone, she • has committed herself militarily 29 times. I wice. the United States has been called upon by nations of the world to lead the fight against warlords who tried to enslave , Europe, Asia and the Pacific. Americans have fought local wars as well as global wars. In some of these conflicts, the issues have been clearly defined. In others they have not. In some the United States has acted alone; in others she fought alongside allies. In all but one, the United States has fought to win, and to do so as swiftly as possible, to minimize American casualties, and to bring our troops home at the earliest possible moment. The one exception of course has been the war in Vietnam. We have not fought to win in Vietnam. It now appears that there are no intentions of ever doing so. I think the American people deserve a better explanation than i they have received so far as to why we must look for another two ‘ years—and possibly more—of fighting a war we do not intend to try to win. Ot r people have a right to know why it is necessary to prolong the agony. // y' The Business Places Os Atlanta Already Have The World Series Fever And They Feel Good About It You see the average Atlanta man or woman, they have I no doubt but that the Braves would be in the World Series and, also that they are going to win. And when you see the ' Braves, each and every one of them play, you can’t help but agree with them. In fact it has got the old man from Pem broke so “hot and bothered” that we can hardly sleep at night. We have just returned home from a 3 day visit, and see ing three of the finest ball games, all of which the Braves won, that we agree with the people of Atlanta that their “Braves” can’t be beat. We have made arrangements to see the Braves play the Mets on Saturday and Sunday, and feel sure that the Braves will take them, then next will be the World Series which will open in Atlanta and we are lined up for tickets to the first World Series ever played in Atlanta, and you just bet your bottom dollar we will be on hand a rooting and tooting for the Braves. Social Security Squibs A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men But thinking ahead now and again Brings a reward nine times out of ten. It’s no secret that one of the things you will have to have when you apply for your Social Security is proof of your age. For some this means a bii-th certificate, but only if you were born in a part of the country in which your age was put on record at the time you were born. For some, a baptismal certificate will do the trick, especially if you were baptized before you got into your teens. Some are so fortunate as to be able to lay their hands on a family record made by someone when they were still very young, or an old school record or insurance policy issued to them as a child. For those who have none of these things, a record of age can often be found in the Federal Census files since the census taker came around every 10 years, : regular as clockwork, and noted the name and age of every citi- I zen in the land. And of course i there are many other kinds of records which can be called on : to prove when you were born. , The main thing to do is to think I ahead — locate a record which you can rely on to prove your l age. and then have it ready to ! bring with you when you first ! set out to apply for Social Se ' curity. Even if that day is a : long way off. the Social Secur ity Representative will be hap py to advise you and help you ; any time you want to get start ;ed on it.

"Hello Houston. The Wild Turkey has just landed on the Moon's sur face.” Or was it ", . . the Eagle 1 has landed.” Yes it was the ' Eagle. 1 always forget that , Benjamin Franklin lost that । argument. , It all happened during a । heated Congressional contro- versy back in the days when • space flight was limited to Mr I Franklin's kite. The disagree ment was whether to adopt the , Wild Turkey or the Bald Eagle as the National Emblem. The bespectacled Franklin, who had been so right in every thing up until' now. argued I that the Eagle's reputation , was one of a questionable bird. , "Ole Baldy" just did not make an honest living. The Wild Turkey, on the other hand, was a fine feathered friend. He 1 symbolized peace and good fel lowship. After all. who was the first to literally lose their heads over the Thanksgiving Day idea? I don’t recall any Pilgrim or Indian eating an Eagle drumstick. Although Franklin was over ruled so that now the Eagle has added the Moon to its i other past glories, the Wild ■ Turkey did not just drift off i into the brush and the trees । to become a wiley target In 1789 a Kentuckian - Reverend Elijah Craig produced the first bourbon whisky, making it a I truly American drink and a j very popular brand of that beverage is Wild Turkey Bour bon. While the bird in hand I has gained in popularity the I Wild Turkey in the hush came close to extinction not too ! many years ago. once hunting Wild Turkey became an “in" I sport But thanks to American conservation laws the Wild Turkey now flourishes in many ! of these United States Atlanta Is A Great City And They Are Proud Os The Bi•aves Ye Editor and Mrs. Miller spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Atlanta, and made our base of operations at the Jim Rodgers home out on Rainbow Drive, but we did not have the pleasure of our good friend Jim Rodgers being with us, however his lovely little wife looked after our welfare while in Georgia’s Capital City. i We saw all of the games, Friday night, Saturday after- I noon and then Sunday afternoon, and we were thrilled with each game, and especially the way they came out, because ! the Braves came out as a winner in all the games we saw, ! however they had to fight for the games and at times wc got more or less ‘“nervous” over just what might happen. There was one thing that we saw, that disturbed us to • a great extent. The City of Atlanta has allowed a lousy, filthy bunch of "Hippies” to come in and take over a section ■ of the City around 14th street, which is more or less one of ■ the better sections of Atlanta, and they have more or less I monopolized Piedmont Park. These Hippies lay around on the sidewalk, both white and colored, mixed and intermingled, ' with very little attention being paid to any of them just who they are laying on the street, and where the races mix and intermingle without anyone trying to regulate them or what they do. Surely this is one of the bad things we saw Certainly the City of Atlanta ought to have official that would do something about this “mess” they have right in the heart of Atlanta, and seemingly no one caring a tinkers dam about just what is going on. I ♦rL Go BY 808 BREWSTER Outdoor Editor, Outboards TAKE A JUG FISHING Many fishermen beat the slow summer days by going to a river, loading everything into a boat, and then throw i ing their fishing gear over , board as they pull away from the bank. No, they haven’t gone her serk. What they are doing, say the fishing authorities at Mer cury outboards, is practicing a time honored method of fishing called jugging. And what they’re throwing out of the boat are sealed bottles or , cans that float with the cur rent, drifting bait into all parts of the river. These knowledgeable fisher men are also taking advantage of the fact that river water is usually cooler in late summer than lake water. And cool water makes for better fish ing. To join in on this fun, you must first collect a supply of jugs. The white plastic bottles used for selling laundry bleach are excellent. Tie on a drop line of stout nylon cord. Vary the length from a couple of feet to six or seven feet long. Slip on a 1 .-ounce sinker and tie to a 2 0 or 3/0 ringed-eye hook. Be sure the jug cap is screwed down tight to pre- vent water leakage. Bait choice is important. Since you’re after catfish, drum, red horse and other bottom feeding species, use baits they’ll most likely take. These include minnows, stink baits, chicken entrails, worms and cut bait fish. Load everything in the boat. Bait up all the jugs and place them in the water several feet apart as you pull away from the bank. Jugs with short drop lines go near the bank: long drop line jugs go into the deepest water. Now it's a matter of float ing along watching the jugs, and unsnagging them when they catch on underwater ob structions. When a jug bobs up and down, or moves against the current, it’s likely a fish is seriously working on the bait. The lads at Mercury sug gest that when you reach the lug give it a hard upward jerk to set the hook before pulling in your catch. FOR SALE Abruzzi Rye Seed at $2.50 per bushel.
