6 Counties Being
Asked For Needs
Os Law Officers
BRUNSWICK, Ga.—Six offi
cers in the Coastal Area Plan
ning and Development Commis
sion are being asked to submit
a detailed list of equipment to
be needed by law enforcement
agencies within the next five
years, according to Vernon
Martin, Law Enforcement Plan
ner.
If requests are approved lat
er, under the Omnibus Crime
Control Act of 1968, it will be
possible for a county to pur
chase equipment on a percent
age ratio with the federal gov
ernment.
For equipment the federal
government will pay 60'//, coun
ty 40'/ , with the exception for
any equipment that can be re
lated to riot control, in which
the local share is only 25'/.
For any building, including al
teration or repairs, the cost
share is 50-50.
“This is not a dream thing,”
said Martin. “1 hope officials
will take seriously the possi
bility of receiving federal sup-,
port.”
In order to enhance the
chances of receiving their por
tion of the plan fully approved,
each County Commission is be
ing asked to pass a resolution
stating that it will provide its
share of the percentage should
the requests be approved.
The resolution does not need
to specify a certain amount of
money to be promised by the
county, but here again it would
greatly assist in receiving ap
proval, explained Martin, add
ing that a county would not be
expected to provide one lump
sum, hut schedule it over the
next five years.
In Glynn County, however,
where it will not be certain if
the city and county police
forces will remain separate, or
joined if consolidation passes in
the October 14 special election,
Martin said it may be possible
to receive an extension on the
date that this county's requests
are submitted.
Letters have been sent to
sheriffs, police chiefs, County
Commission chairmen and may
ors in each county, requesting
detailed, scheduled list of law
enforcement needs by Novem-
ber 1.
Martin's report will be sub
mitted to the Law Enforcement
Division of the State Planning
Board, which in turn will sub
mit by December 1 a resume to
the state reviewing board on
law enforcement for evaluation
and approval or disapproval.
Mail Every Bit
Os Pornography
To Pres.-Maddox
ATLANTA, (GPS) —Gov.
Lester G. Maddox has suggest
ed a nation-wide movement
which he believes could halt
the flow of pornography
through the mails. He outlined
his plan in a recent speech to
Research Lodge No. 102, Free
and Accepted Masons, in Ma
con. Said the governor:
“I urge every God-fearing,
country-loving person in Amer
ica who would like to preserve
the morals of our people to take
every piece of this filth which
comes into his home through
the mails, or otherwise, and
send it to the President (Rich
ard M. Nixon), along with a
note requesting that the pro
, duction of this material be
made illegal in the United
States.
“If we all follow through on
this idea, then I am sure that
the President will realize how
extensive this problem has be
come and how concerned the
majority of Americans are.
And when he realizes this, I
am sure that he will take the
necessary action to bring this
demoralizing trend to a halt.”
Gov. Maddox said that in his „
opinion “the greatest danger of i
the American way of life today I
■ comes from those who would 1
> break down moral order in our <
• society—the filth merchants.
With the approval and condone- •
, ment of the Supreme Court and ।
other government officials, i
■ these pornographic profiteers i
■ are destroying the moral order
i of our country, and they do
, more harm than the people in
■ our prisons do.”
• “The government,” Maddox
* continued, “keeps talking about
welfare programs, new deals,
> and fair deals, but it is failing
i to meet its primary responsibil
ity of protecting the lives,
; rights and property of its citi
/ zens by allowing this junk to

Gov. Lester Maddox
Reports Xo thd People
ATLANTA (PRN) We, in
Georgia, have long enjoyed
excellent working relations
among labor, management and
governmental interests. As a
result, all have benefitted.
In only two years during
this Administration,
investments in new and
expanded industry totaled
nearly one billion dollars. It is
likely that the figure would
have ex
ceeded one
billion if all
i n d ustrial
dollars had
been in
cluded, but
sometimes
reports are
not com
plete.
A n o t h er
economic barometer, the per
capita income increase, is also
encouraging. Georgia was one
of the top two states in the
entire nation in per capita
income increase according to
the figures for the first four
months of this year, which are
the latest we have.
In the decade of the 1950’5,
we had a population growth of
some 14 percent while the
national average was over 19
percent. In the decade of the
60’s, the national average is
estimated at 14 percent while
Georgia’s is some 20 percent.
In the decade of the 1950’5.
Georgia was losing population
in some 95 counties; today we
are losing population in 35 or
fewer counties, and this can be
corrected. This Administration
is working on it, and with the
help and support of men and
women in labor, and others
who are concerned about
Georgia, we can get the job
done.
Woodrow Wilson once
pointed out that labor is not a
commodity, but a “form of
cooperation.” It is
unfortunate that this truth has
not always been recognized by
everybody concerned.
I can remember when the
cooperation was pretty well
onesided, in many instances,
and the men and women who
toiled in the plants, stores,
mines and fields did not
receive just compensation for
their labors.
Os course, some people who
work for a living still have
reason to complain today. In a
free society, there can be no
uniform adjustments in wages
and other benefits for all
people at one and the same
time.
Much of the progress which
our State has achieved has
come about through the
efforts and cooperation of
men and women in labor and
you can be sure that Lester
Maddox appreciates this fact.
As 1 work to continue to
generate the progress,
prosperity’ and growth of this
State, you can be sure that I
will stand to see that all
people are treated fairly and
that labor receives just fruits
from its efforts.
We generally think of
unions as agents for collective
bargaining to secure increased
wages and benefits for
workers. This is one of the
functions of a union, it’s true,
but there are other important
functions which should not be
overlooked-
Men and women of labor,
because of their productivity
j and interest in their own
1 success, prosperity and
: achievement, promote the
economy and the industrial
development for all of Georgia
and all of the nation. As a
result of their efforts, millions
of children are educated, tens
of thousands of business
places are opened and are
successful, and state and local
governments are able to
provide more health care,
education, highways, and all
the other services which
benefit all citizens.
Through their internal
structure, unions, especially
the craft unions, provide
protection and quality control
for management and for the
general public.
A man who becomes a
journeyman, or master
craftsman, in a particular
I union has had to eam that
status, and the various systems
of skill classification used by
unions enable the buyer of
these skills to know what he is
getting for his money.
Just as physicians, dentists,
barbers and other professional
groups are examined and
licensed by their peers before
they are permitted to practice
| unionized craftsmen also must
be rated by their peers and
given a “license” to practice.
In many instances, if these
internal controls were nob
established and carried out by
the craftsmen, themselves,
through their unions, it would
be necessary for government
to step in and provide the
controls.
It is just as important that
an electrician, a machine
operator, a construction
worker, a carpenter or a
mechanic possess the skills
which he claims to have as it is
| for a surgeon or a psychologist
to possess the skills and
i training that he claims to have.
A novice electrician can
j electrocute his fellow workers,
i leave a city without power and
| cost his employer thousands
i of dollars. I would also like to
think that the man operating
the boom on top of a
skyscraper under construction
is competent in his job,
especially if I’m walking
below.
That’s why it distresses me
to hear that some pressure
groups are attempting to
j violate the integrity of labor
; unions by asking that some
| people be given special
consideration on the basis of —
factors other than skill and
seniority.
No person should be given
any special privileges in labor
regarding pay, promotions or
employment on the basis of
color or politics. Skill and
seniority cannot be bypassed
for political expediency.
If such a movement is
successful, to any large degree,
I believe that it will spell the
end for effective unions in this
country.
And, in the same instance,
it would spell the end for
many of the liberties, rights
and material blessings which
we enjoy as Americans.
Free labor unions are
characteristic of a free
country, and they cannot be
tolerated by dictators and
tyrants.
Here in Georgia, for the
first time in the history of our
State, the men and women of
labor are fully represented in
the Governor’s office. All too
often in times past, only those
who were members of “the
establishment” and certain
special interest groups had
access to the Governor’s
office, but today the wage
earner finds the welcome mat
out for him, and finds his
interests being served, too.
That will be my course in the
future, whether in this office,
in some other public office, or
selling fried chicken
somewhere.
I will be working to see that
every Georgia chilo has an
opportunity to get the kind of
education he needs to be a
competitor in the Twentieth
Century and in the
Twenty-first Century just
ahead.
I will continue to seek new
industry for our State in order
to provide more Georgians
with jobs and better wages for
those now employed.
I believe that the best way
to attract industry is to
improve community resources,
such as water and sewerage
facilities, streets and highways,
recreational facilities, schools
and fire and police protection.
In the last regular session
and in the special session of
the Georgia General Assembly,
many of the immediate hopes
I had for Georgia’s future
were dashed against the rocks
of petty politics and
selfishness, but I have not
given up.

hi Memoriam
In lovine memory of
Husband and Uncle
DEWITT TALMADGE
SMITH
who died 1 year ago,
October 7, 1968
When the evening shadows are
falling
and we are sitting alone;
In our hearts comes a longing,
if only you could come home.
We wonder why you had to go
and leave us here to weep.
For many silent tears we shed
while others are asleep.
A precious one from us has
gone,
his voice we loved is still;
His place is vacant in our home,
which never can be filled.
Time cannot dim the sorrow
or help to ease the pain;
For the grief I hold within my
heart
forever will remain.
The hours go so slowly,
' the nights are long and blue,
k And not a moment passes by
that I don’t think of you.
' They say time heals all sorrow
and helps us to forget;
' But time so far has only proved
how much we miss you yet.
’ God gives us strength
and courage to bear the blow.
। But what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
Sadly missed by
| Wife and Nieces.
