ween Carnival Chairman re
ports that last week’s carnival
was a big success, earning a
clear profit of $257.57 which
will be used for the purchase
of a piano for the school. Mr.

administration and Mrs. Burris
expressed their appreciation to
all who contributed to the suc

NOW THAT HALLOWEEN
is over and Thanksgiving and
Christmas is approaching may
we offer a suggestion of how
to show youngsters the true
meaning of these seasons? It’s
the “Toys For Tots” pick up
point of the Bryan County Jay
cees! Can you think of a better
way of allowing a child to ex
press “thanks” for his many
blessings than to encourage him
to donate a neglected toy to a
child less fortunate than he?
Let your child learn the joy of
the Christmas message “It is
more blessed to give than to
receive” by allowing him to
drop a gift into the “Toys for
Tots” structure himself.

Traffic Death
Rate Down For
First 9 Months
ATLANTA — (GPS) While
Georgia’s traffic death toll re
mains slightly higher than a
year ago, the state’s traffic
death rate, which is based on
the number of persons killed
to each 100-million miles
traveled, continues to go down.
This was revealed in a 9-
month State Patrol report re
leased by Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
During the first nine months
of this year, a total of 2,381,-
608 motor vehicles were reg
istered in Georgia, an increase
of 169,483 over the correspond
ing period in 1968.
These cars and trucks travel
ed a total of 21,985,078,550,
an increase of nearly 1.7-mil
lion miles, the report showed.
“We, of course, are pleased
that Georgia’s traffic death
rate continues to show a down
ward trend even in face of
this ever-increasing number of
cars and miles traveled, and
we think it is a tribute to
the hard-working men of our
patrol who are assigned to
police the largest state east
of the Mississippi River,” com
mented Col. Burson.
“But," he added, “we are
not satisfied, and we won’t
be satisfied, until we can sub
stantially reduce both the
death toll and the date rate
in Georgia. This can be done
only with more troopers —
enough to adequately patrol
the more than 90,000 miles of
roads in the state.”
On the death toll side of
the ledger during the 9-month
period, a total of 1,307 traffic
fatalities were recorded, an in
crease of 13, or one per cent.
Maddox Advises
‘Fellow Inmates’
On Their Future
ATLANTA — (GPS) Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, who has
received many honors during
his less than three years in
office, received perhaps his
most unusual one the other
evening. He was made an
honorary lifetime inmate of
the Meriwether County public
works camp in Greenville, Ga.
“I am convinced,” the gov
ernor said in an acceptance
speech at the awards banquet
sponsored by the inmates
themselves, “that the only
thing which has saved me
from being a regular inmate,
rather than an honorary one,
is that I realized my weak
nesses and insufficiencies early
in life and I learned to look to
God for guidance. He has
made the difference.”

ministration has done more in
the area of prison reform in,

Committee Will Sponsor
New Tobacco Legislation
ATLANTA (PRN) - State
Senator Roscoe Dean of
Jesup, Chairman of the Senate
sub-committee on Tobacco,
today said that the committee
will sponsor legislation to
increase the membership of
the Tobacco Advisory Board
to 15 members by adding six
tobacco dirt fanners.
‘ ‘ The
tobacco
Advisory
Board was
created in
1955,”
Dean point
e d out,
“and mark
eting condi
tions and
SEN. DEAN
market
patterns have changed
considerably since that time.
“The sub-committee feels it
is a near-impossible task for
nine people to make a
thorough survey of the 62
tobacco producing counties in
Georgia in the alloted time.”
The Tobacco Advisory
Board, Dean said, surveys
tobacco crop conditions and
helps determine the date
Georgia’s tobacco markets
open. The six additional
tobacco dirt farmers will
provide a more geographically
balance representation on the
Advisory Board so that the
survey can be conducted in a
more thorough manner
without working a hardship on
the present members of the
board, Dean stated.
The Jesup Senator also said
the sub-committee will
sponsor legislation to amend
the Georgia Code and thereby
re defining the regular tobacco
selling season. Special sales
and “clean-up” sales.
“We believe that to
effectively carry out , the
purpose of this Act the
Georgia Code should be
amended so as to more clearly
define when the ending of the
regular selling season takes
place and when the period of
“clean-up” or special sales
begin,” Dean said.
“Special or “clean-up” sales
are very important to Georgia
tobacco fanners in marketing
their unsold tobacco that they
were not able to market
during the regular selling
season. By proper regulation
of special or “clean-up” sales,
Georgia could provide for a
more orderly marketing of its
own tobacco,” he pointed out.
Other recommendations of
the Senate subcommittee on
Tobacco were:
--That the Georgia
Extension Service and the
Georgia Tobacco Commodity
Commission furnish farmers
with all available information
concerning the varieties and
characteristics of tobaccos
that will be in demand when
the market opens. Dean stated
that the committee
recommended that old-line,
high-quality producing
varieties of tobacco be planted
lik Hicks Broad Leaf and
White Gold. These varieties are
in great demand by purchasers
and result in a better price for
the farmer, he said.
-That the USDA Crop
Reporting Service improve its
method of determining
tobacco crop estimates in
order to fairer and more
realistic to tobacco growers;
-That Type 14 tobacco
growers be given an additional
three members on the
Industry-Wide Flue-Cured
Tobacco Marketing
Committee, the group which
helps determine the number of
sales per week, the number of
selling hours each day and the
length of the marketing
season. The committee covers
several states.
-That Acreage be increased
for Georgia Tobacco Farmers.
If this is adopted, the
committee stated, it will mean
that a fanner will have more
acres to grow his tobacco on
and should bring about a more
desirable quality and price for
the farmer.
-That additional funds be
made available to spearhead a
massive program for testing
and developing new ways to
mechanize the gathering and
processing of tobacco. This
will help the fanner in his
inability under present
conditions in obtaining
adequate labor to hand-gather
and process his tobacco.
-That warehousemen form
a committee to police sales of
out-of-belt tobacco.
--“Out-of-Belt tobacco
moving into Georgia markets
each year is costing Georgia
tobacco fanners in many
different ways,” Dean said.
“First, this tobacco is in
direct competition at the
market place with
Georgia-grown tobacco.
“Second, it is replacing or
actually filling the demand of
‘‘GEORGIA GROWN”
tobacco when it is not in fact
‘‘GEORGIA-GROWN)
tobacco.
“Therefore, it is lessening
the competitive bidding for
Georgia-grown tobacco. Some
70% of Georgia-grown tobacco
moves in export trade and
serves a purpose in export
trade that other types of
tobacco cannot fulfill- that of
providing the necessary
flavoring and aroma in the
manufacture of cigarettes
abroad,” Dean pointed out.
“All tobacco sold on the
Georgia markets and bought
by these export purchasers,
which is produced outside of
Georgia, dilutes the desired
flavoring ability and aroma of
Georgia tobacco when it is
co-mingled with it and thereby
lessens the demand for
Georgia-grown tobacco,” he
said.
“Therefore, in the interest
of Georgia tobacco farmers,
we respectfully ask that the
Georgia-Florida Warehouse
Association consider taking
the necessary steps in policing
the out-of-belt tobacco sold
on Georgia warehouse floors
and hold the sale of this
tobacco to a minimum during
the regular selling season for
the purpose of reserving
warehouse space for the sale
of Georgia tobacco.
In addition, the tobacco
sub committee urged that no
new or additional taxes be
placed on tobacco products
since they already contribute
over $39 million dollars
annually to the tax revenue of
the State of Georgia. The
committee also commended
the Georgia General Assembly
for passing the 1968
Agricultural Commodity Sales
Promotion Act, which was

Gov. Lester Maddox
Report^g^l People
ATLANTA (PRN) - This
Administration has had no
miracles to offer in prison
reform, but I do believe that
we have moved further in that
direction in the past couple of
years than previous
administrations had been able
to move in a quarter of a
century.
We have insisted that
people are sent to prison as
punishment
and not for
punish
ment.
We have
insisted
that any
institution
which is to
house peo
ple be kept
up to peo-
ple’s standards. I think that
when the rats and roaches
move into a camp and take
over, the inmates should be
moved out. And this is the
policy we have followed.
It makes no sense to keep a
man in prison on an
inadequate diet, working
unreasonable hours, under
inhumane conditions and
without any attempts at
rehabilitation. Such
institutions could do nothing
but change a man for the
worse, not for the better.
The majority of county
officials, wardens and PWC
personnel have joined with
this Administration to upgrade
the standards of Georgia’s
county public works camps
and to provide inmates with
better programs of
rehabilitation. I appreciate this
support, and I can assure all
concerned that the
cooperation is not one-way.
Those county camps which
maintain adequate standards
in their physical plant, their
education programs, visitation
facilities, diets, and humane
treatment of inmates, will
continue to be encouraged and
supported in their efforts by
the Maddox Administration.
Being of a regional nature,
public works camps follow the
same concept which has
proved so successful with
schools, hospitals and
industry.
It is often possible to place
an inmate in a PWC near his
home where he can receive
frequent, morale-building
visits from his family and
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL, Thursday, November 7, 1969—
recommended to it by the
Senate sub-committee on
Tobacco. This act promotes
the sale of Ga. tobacco by a
special tag designating the
tobacco as a Georgia-grown
commodity. Georgia-grown
tobacco this year received the
highest average price in history
for the entire flue-cured-crop
-573.61 per hundred pounds.
‘‘We know that the
Agricultural Commodity Sales
Promotion Act helped greatly
in this area,” Dean added.
Serving with Senator Dean
on the committee are Senator
Ford Spinks of Tifton,
Senator Roy Noble of Vienna,
and Senator Joe Kennedy of

maintain the family ties which
are so important to a man
when he is finally released
from prison.
In many instances, county
works camps are able to keep
a man occupied who otherwise
would have little or nothing
constructive to do. I can’t
imagine anything more
destructive to an able-bodied
man than keeping him penned
up all day, month after
month, with nothing to do but
stare at four walls.
There are many county
camps in Georgia which are in
much better condition than
some of our State prison
branches, and as long as
county officials continue to
give this Administration the
cooperation that they have, I
will certainly work with them
to maintain and improve the
public works camp’s role in
our overall penal system.
- Because I have insisted
upon humane treatment of all
prisoners under the
jurisdiction of the State Board
of Corrections, some people
have accused me of being a
criminal coddler. Nothing
could be further from the
truth.
I am a firm believer in he
law and I stand with the law
enforcement officer who is
trying to do his job to the best
of his ability. But, I will not
tolerate the abuse of any man,
just because he is down.
I have stuck my neck out
on a number of occasions to
sponsor special releases for
certain inmates who had
proved themselves to be
worthy of a special trust.
The results of these releases
have been encouraging. Most
offenders, both juvenile and
adult, have shown that they
can be trusted to fulfill an
obligation and some even go
beyond what would be
considered a successful
adjustment.
Many letters have come to
me from former inmates and
their friends telling of good
jobs, rapid promotions,
contributions to their
communities and great
benefits to their families.
I thank God that I have had
the privilege to serve in some
small way to help a fellow
human being see the error of
his ways and make a turn
down the right road.

Big Buck Country
Where there’s no limit on
new industrial development
More than 70 percent of Georgia is woodlands.
There’s room for growth. Our whitetail deer,
for example, reach 300 pounds and more.
Markets grow big in Georgia, too, and so do the
industries that serve them.
And some of the best guides for plant-site hunting
are Georgia Power’s industrial development
representatives. They’re career men at this. They
either have or can track down the information
a prospect needs.
Our industrial development men value teamwork,
too. They coordinate their efforts with those of
other business concerns, government agencies and
chambers of commerce.
No wonder pinched-for-space industries are coming
to Georgia in record numbers. The horizons are
wide here. For industry the land is young and full
of promise.
That’s why we urge industrial site-hunters to lift
their eyes from crowded confines and to take a
look at big buck country.
