Now that the Julian Bond OEO
grant is receiving the proper
publicity and attention in Wash
ington, we’ll give our readers
the details on two more made in
Georgia. These went to a white
man.
Gerald Horton, who operates a
public relations firm in Atlanta
(formed not long before the Bond
firm, incidentally), is a member
of the Georgia General Assem
bly, and former aide to Congress
man Charles Weltner, when Mr.
Wellner represented the Fifth
District. Mr. Horton, incidental
ly, is also an extreme liberal.
On June 29, 1969, the Horton
firm received on OEO one-year
contract for $153,039.00 for Com
munity Action Program orienta
tion training and technical assist
ance in support of the planning
development program.
On tne next day, June 30, the
Horton firm received an OEO
one-year contract for s3uß,obl.uo
for technical assistance and sup
port of OEO’s Community Ac
tion Program in the Southeast
region.
'lnese grants were confirmed
to the writer by Depree Jordan,
public relations coordinator for
the Regional OEO office.
Since there was criticism for
the Negro community about our
disclosure of the Bond OEO
grant, we feel it only fair to dis
close that the same kind of
grants went to a white firm.
What we still don’t understand is
why the regular staffs oi OEO
couldn’t do the work on these
grants and others like them. Bill
Burson, State Director of OEO,
has publicly voiced the same
wonderment.
Concerning the Bond grant, we
hear the rumor that the regional
OEO Board of five members,
which is supposed to pass on all
grants to consultants, did not
approve the Board contract. It is
said that two members of the
board weren’t present to consider
the case, and the other three
voted against it. If this is true,
then obviously Washington or the
regional representative for con
sultant services, Mr. Al Krom
loff, okayed the contract on their
own initiative.

Another ground for puzzle
ment: How does a Republican
administration happen to be giv
ing such grants to Democrats?
Incidentally, according to Mr.
Jordan, there are between 900 to
1,000 such contracts scattered all
over the United States.

Jimmy Carter, the liberal
South Georgia farmer, who says
he will run for governor next
year, was in Augusta last week
for a political visit, and the Au
gusta Herald quotes him as be
ing extremely critical of former
Governor Carl Sanders. One of
the things he said was: “One of
the greatest failures of the prev
ious administration (Sanders') is
the death of the Democratic
Party in Georgia”.
He continued; “The Party is
heavily in debt, the 1964 delega
tion to the National Convention
was handpicked by the governor
(Maddox), the structure of the
Democratic Party as such under
the control of the governor in
■J966 (Sanders) was turned over
to Ellis ArnaU for his use in the
Democratic Primary”.
Not a single one of the above
statements made by Mr. Carter
is true.

COMPLETION DATE NEARS
FOR 1969 ACP PRACTICES
All soil and water conserva-.
tion measures being installed
by farmers under the 1969
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram (ACP) must be substan
tially completed by the end of
the year, according to H. L.
Page, Chairman of the Bryan
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC) Committee.
He urged farmers to com
plete their conservation work
as soon as possible. “Sometimes
a man will plan to get the
work done in November or De
cember, and then bad weather
holds him up. First thing you
know it’s New Year’s Day, the
ACP work isn’t finished, and
the ASC Committee can’t ap
prove the Federal share of the
costs,” Chairman Page said.
He also reminded farmers
tion by ravaging termites. V.
Rodney Coleman, Extension En
tomologist says “that chlorinat
ed hydrocarbon insecticides
such as chlordane, dieldrin, al
drin and heptachlor can be used
effectively and safely—even by
unskilled homeowners.”
"When the insecticides are
drenched into the soil, most of
the chemical becomes attached
to the soil particles where it
• effectively controls termites for
' years.”
These insecticides do not
! harm plants growing in the
treated soil or pets that walk
over the treated area.
“In fact, no one has found a
more effective and safer way
to control termites.”
Termite shields, which were
developed before modern insec
ticides, are useless when com
pared to soil treatment with a
long residual insecticide. “Prop
erly installed shields make poor
substitutes for insecticides, and
improperly installed shields are
worthless. Most shields are not
properly installed.
Homeowners were cautioned
not to mix up more insecticide
solution than needed for the
treatment. If some of the con
centrate is left, it should be
stored in a locked cabinet away
- from food and feed.
I Industrial buildings are also
subject to attack by subterran
ean termites.
| WHAT DO THE
STARS DECREE
IN BEAUTY?.
In this age of Aquarius, you
may be misguided if you think
“hair” is the prime beauty con
sideration. This fall, as never
before, complexion beauty will
be the catalyst that turns on
the zingy new styles.
At least that’s the forecast
| by a leading astrologer for
Saunda, Inc., Chicago beauty
products manufacturer. Our as
trologer says that women born
under the signs of Taurus,
Gemini, Leo, Libra and Aquar
ius will be more successful in
their quest for beauty than the
other signs. Beauty is domin
ant in their horoscopes, hence
uppermost in their minds. For
the other seven signs, attain
ing beauty will be an uphill and
difficult struggle because it
may not seem important.
Thus, Scorpio, with her se- _
ductive manner; Sagittarius,
the good cook; Aries, with her
outgoing personality — none
of these characteristics by
themselves, will be sufficient to
offset casual attention to the
complexion. They will be help
ful; but this year, by them
selves, they will not bring de
sired social success, according
to our astrologer. The accent is
on the face, which means a
glowing complexion.
Clean skin is the first step
to a srood complexion, and in
accomplishing tms, you can
thank your lucky stars for such
aids as a beauty appliance, a
facial scrub, moisturizer and,
freshener, from Saunda — all
designed to provide a beauti
ful complexion in a few mom
ents — right at home. This
mist machine treatment is the
first step in relaxing and clean
ing the skin. Clouds of warm
mist engulf the face in a few
seconds after plugging in the
beauty appliance.
After the mist treatment,
generously apply the facial
scrub to remove scaly patches
and any deep-seated grime not
loosened by the warm vapor
and natural perspiration flow.
Rinse off the scrub with warm
[ water.
Next apply a few drops of
the freshener to tone the skin.
And finally, massage in the
moisturizer to restore the
[ moisture balance before you
that whenever a request for
cost-shares under the ACP is
approved, the ASC Committee
sets a completion date for the
practice. If a farmer is unable
to report the conservation prac
tice completed by the date set,
he should request a time exten
sion and explain why it is need
ed.
In any case, said Mr. Page,
the ASC County Committee
cannot extend the time allowed
for completion beyond Decem
ber 31 for requests approved
under the 1969 ACP.
Under the ACP, the Federal
government shares with farm
ers and ranchers the costs of
conservation practices needed in
the public interest. Farmer re
quests for cost-sharing are ad
ministered by the ASC County
Committee.
apply makeup.
Not only will your complex
ion be “squeaking clean” but
it will have a delightful rosy
glow.
And ready to face the future.
You may be interested in what
our astrologer predicts may be
some successful matches for
the year ahead.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19)
is a good match with the secre
tive Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov.
21). These two water signs
match well this fall. Our sec
ond favorable sign is Libra
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22). Librans,
neat and easy-going, are good
matches with the worrisome,
picky Virgos (Aug. 22 to Sept.
22).
For the royal Leo (July 22
to Aug. 21) the Piscean dream
er (Feb. 20 to March 20) makes
an ideal partner. And for the
flighty Gemini (May 21 to
June 21) the Arian (March 21
to April 19 is perfect.
Taurus (April 20 to May
20), with that slight stubborn
streak, is a good match with a
Sagittarian (Nov. 22 to Dec.
21). Both are outdoor signs,
and get along readily. For
Moonchildren (June 22 to
July 21) and Capricorns (Dec.
22 to Jan. 20) the signs are un
settled, indicating uncertainty
as to their perfect mates.
Armed with this horoscope,
and a beautifully fresh com
plexion, this should be one of
your best seasons.

ART DHII STYLE
Form 104
The high priests of fashion
have coined a phrase to cover
all the “in” looks for fall. The
phrase is “Art Deco", and it
traces its origin to the Art Dec
oration Exhibition of Paris in
1925, an avant-garde display of
design which set the styles for
the 1930’5.,
But what does “Art Deco”
mean today? In fashion, it
means the.soft, feminine, mys
terious look of the 30s done to
a “now” beat. It means clingy,
rich textured fabrics like panne
velvet and design - on - design
patterns in chiffon, silk and
matte jersey. “Art Deco” is
long flowing scarves, high,
shaped heels, the bobbed hair
do or the sleek small head,
cardigan jackets, loose-fitting
pants, chokers, body jewelry,
small beaded bags, thin eye
brows, intriguing soft-tinted
Foster Grant shades, translu
cent make-up, cloche hats and
fur collared coats. “Art Deco”
is all this and more, but most
important, it’s a feminine,
womanly look done with ease
and elegance.
You could achieve the “Art
Deco” look by getting the
musty smell out of the relics
in the attic or by haunting
junk shops. But, a better and
more successful way would be
with a long slink of a dress.
Then accessorize the luscious
panne velvet, perhaps in dove
grey, with new “antiques” —
a silver choker, rhinestone
brooch, chain vest, beaded bag
and six-sided “Eyeful” Even
ing Shades to make the whole
look a groovy, mind-bending,
“now” experience. And the
pale, rose-tinted lenses help
conceal under-eye shadows and
add a subtle dimension of color,
mystery and allure. Foster
Grant makes them.
There are more midi and
maxi coats and they go over
many lengths — long or short
pants, long or short dresses.
The coat is getting bigger
and bolder too. And those short
little toppers are perfect cover
ups for pants, or jump-suits.

Hair Styles
Reflect Fall
Fashion Glow
This year’s fashionable fall
wardrobe will include short,
short skirts, dresses to the
ankle, and citypants — all for
day. Evening lights will shine
on ruffled dresses and little
nothings that bare almost ev
erything. The only thread that
runs through diverse fall fash
ions is a bold, dashing use of
color.
To avoid a case of fall fade
out, you will want to brighten
up your face and hair to com
plement the fashion scene. Use
blusher liberally — perhaps
the kind with iridescent flakes.
Let your eyes dazzle with the
new, soft and colorful shadows.
And give your hair shade a
brightening — or even a total
new look. Today’s easy-to-use
hair tints can help you achieve
the dash you need to show
yourself to best advantage.
John H. Breck, Inc., recently
introduced a new Hair Color to
help you obtain your choice of
hair shades in the safest pos
sible way. It is a shampoo-in
product that contains the con
ditioners which have made the
famous Shampoo a favorite.
Because of the conditioners,
this hair color is thicker and
richer than other shampoo-in
products. Even touch-ups are
easier with the practically
“dripless” formula.
You might want to brighten
hair faded by the summer sun
with Golden Amber Blonde.
Perhaps you’d like to complete
ly cover any gray before plung
ing into a modern mini — if
so, select the shade closest to
your own. If your hair looks
mousy beside the newest fash
ions, warm it up with Light
Brown or Light Golden Blonde.
Women wary of a drastic hair
color change should select
shades near their natural color.
Your favorite clothes will
still be flattering and makeup
changes minimal. And who
knows — you may be just one
shade away from the classiest
look you’ve ever seen!

Beauty is as beauty does.
PANTS-A
PRESSING ISSUE
FOR FALL ’69
Pants now are an accepted
part of the feminine wardrobe.
They’re long, short, above
the knee, below-the-knee, midi
or maxi. Fall pants can be
knickers, breeches, shorts, leg
gings or boot pants. They’ll
come in wool, synthetics, wool
jersey, casual denim, gabardine
and twill.
Having become wardrobe bas
ics, they’ve also become more
reserved. Legs are straighter
and narrower, with 18 -22 inch
straight-cut trousers. Pants
suits, in colors that imitate
men’s wear, have plenty of
pockets and pleats reminiscent
of men’s fashions of the ’4os.
But pants fashions demand
meticulous grooming stan
dards. Shapeless, wrinkled
pants, which signal sloppy male
grooming, are no less a fault
on women.
Fortunately many of the fall
pants and pants suits are in
synthetic durable-press fabrics.
Still, they’ll require touch-up
ironing to maintain their im
maculate look. To speed up the
ironing, allow pants to dry
completely, then use spray siz
ing as you iron, following in
structions on the can. Magic
sizing makes the ironing go
faster and easier, and at the
same time restores the “like
new” body to garments that
laundering takes out.
The work goes faster, too,
when you follow this regular
pattern in ironing pants. Turn
the pants inside out, iron the
pockets first. Then, put the top
over the end of the board and
iron the waistband and seams,
pressing them flat as you work.
Iron the entire seat area, and
as far down the leg as you can
go.
Still working inside out,
start on the legs. Press seams
flat and dry them out well, but
avoid putting in a crease.
Next, turn to the right side
and retouch the top, if neces
sary. To put in a crease, lay
the pants on the board with
trouser cuffs at the right.
Match up the leg seams at the
cuff first and smooth out the
entire length of the leg. Be
sure the seams match at the
crotch; this is the secret of
straight creases. Iron the in
side of the leg first, then the
outside. Finally, spray with
Magic sizing, .then iron the two
legs together for a firm, sharp
crease. Because this sizing
eliminates the need for both
dampening and press cloth, you
can see what you’re doing ev
ery step of the way. Then, too,
unlike starch, sizing leaves no
messy build-up on the iron that
can cause scorching.
Some new pants fashions do
not require leg creases. For
these, use a sleeve board.

ATLANTA (PRN) - By the
time the two 12-fdot
aluminum boats were
launched and loaded, and got
underway, the sun was a huge
red-orange melon in the east,
sliced by a finger of a purple
cloud stretching in front of it.
The tide was rolling in and
was little more than an hour
from full high when we cut
out motors and slid the boats
into the marsh along the
Vernon River near Savannah.
Frank Cox and Dudley
McGarity were in one boat,
and Pete Bell and I formed the
crew of the other. Using large
cane poles, more than an inch
in diameter with board
“pushers” bolted to one end,
one man stood in the stem
shoving the boat along while
the other held his shotgun
ready in the bow, keeping an
eye out for marsh hens.
It was the first attempt at
these birds for all but Frank.
Having done work as a
research biologist in these
waters for some five years,
Frank was on a first name
basis with every shoal, every
bar and every marsh in the
area.
It didn’t take long to learn
that the hardest part of marsh
hen hunting was getting in
range of the birds. Poling a
boat over the very shallow
water and through the thick
marsh grass proved to be a
real muscle-building course.
I took a turn at the pole
first, but Pete swapped off
with me on half-hour turns.
We could hear the birds
cackling in the grass, always
seeming to be about a hundred
yards away. When you got to
where you thought you heard
them first, they seemed to be

Marsh Hen Hunting
An Uncrowded Sport
right where you just left.
Fairly visible above the
marshgrass a quarter mile or so
away, Frank and Dudley slid
through the thick stuff with
apparent ease, and occasional
shots proved they were finding
targets.
A bird got up off the port
bow of our boat and crossed
in front of us. Pete put the
front bead on him, and the
bird plummeted heavily into
the water. Here we learned
something else about marsh
hen hunting .. .you have to
mark your birds carefully
where they fall. We spent a lot
of time looking for three
downed birds that morning.
When it was my turn to
'shoot I got a couple more
lessons. Marsh hens fly very,
very slowly, but can be
deceptive targets even so. It
looks so easy to hit them, you
can’t believe it when you miss,
even if the bird is on the outer
limits of the range of your
shotgun.
If the bird gets up close to
the boat, as he often will, it
pays to give him several
seconds to get far enough
away so that the shotgun
pattern will spread enough to
make an effective shot
without tearing up the bird
too much.
By the second morning, the
lessons had been learned well
enough that moie birds were
in the bag. Hunting had been
good, if not sensational. We
had better than two dozen
marsh hens among us.
There was no lack of birds,
or open space to hunt, no
crowds, although we did see a
few other hunters at the
landing. If you want a new
sport, not over-gunned, try
those marsh hens.
