At the same time, many taxpayers, through one device or another, have escaped paying their fair share. The Finance Committee, on which 1 serve, has sent to the Senate the most comprehensive tax reform bill in the history of our country. We completed work on the bill, making some 200 substantial changes in the Internal Revenue Code, after two months of intensive hearings and study. This bill in general provides major relief for all taxpayers who have been carrying more than their part of the load. It cracks down on tax shelters, and virtually all loopholes were closed by our Committee. * * 4 AN APPROXIMATE 5 PER CENT reduction will be realized by all taxpayers, with the most meaningful cuts giving relief to taxpayers in low and middle income brackets. Those in the poverty class would pay no taxes at all. Middle class individuals and families would receive substantial tax breaks. Also, single people, for the first time, would benefit from a well deserved reduction in their taxes. Under present law, which we endeavored to rectify, single men and women, including widows and widowers, have had to pay up to 41 per cent more than married couples of the same income. In Committee, I supported efforts to increase the personal ex emption from the totally unrealistic S6OO to S9OO. Unfortunately, this increase was defeated, but it is certain to be a major issue when the bill is brought before the .Senate for debate and amend ments. in other significant actions, the Finance Committee tightened the rein on the tax exempt status of foundations and voted to limit their life to 40 years. Wc also revised the law as it applies to busi nesses operated by churches and charitable organizations. If they are profit-making concerns and unrelated to their charitable or church endeavors, they will be taxed for the first time under the Committee bill. TYH BIT I PROBABLY WIIX be debated Wy the SenateYw' fourio six weeks after it is brought up sometime in mid-November Then a conference committee of the House and Senate will iron out differences and probably put a new law before the President for signing in January or February.

MYF’ers report a large turnout and an enjoyable time. The group collected a total of $27.07 and members wish to thank everyone who contributed. Chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Randall Bazemore. Politics olh Paradi We have been trying to dis cover why Atlanta Newspapers have had nothing to say about the Gerald Horton OEO con tracts, though they played up all over the front pages the Julian Bond contract. We finally hear that Horton has some sort of an “in” with the big shots at the papers, and is also tied in closely with Mayor Allen’s office. This may be true, but it’s no reason for them to play up Bond’s one contract, when Hor ton has received thousands of dollars more than Bond. After all, fair is fair. ' We haven't seen an editorial in the daily press about Geor gia’s obscenity law being the only one in the nation, thus far, upheld by the federal courts. So, we hereby pay tribute to the State Criminal Code Committee which wrote this law, for their acumen in legal knowledge. • 4 « « * • Speaking of legal matters, we hear that the American Bar As sociation will soon issue a state ment relating to the rights and responsibilities of college stu dents. A lot of people wonder why the State Board of Regents doesn’t kick the radical SDS group off the various campuses, since the FBI has declared them subver sive over and over. The answer is that the last three Attorneys- General of the United States have failed to adopt the FBI recommendations and put SDS on the subversive list. According to one top FBI man, each of these Attorneys-General has been furnished with enough proof to declare the SDS subversive 10 times over, with no such result. So, the Regents have no re course with that radical crowd except to grin and bear it. «**»»» The late Lonnie Pope, of Doug las, who was prominent for 40 years in state politics, always beld a political get-together at his Fernandina, Fla., vacation retreat on the weekends of Georgia-Florida football games. Last weekend—the first such oc casion since Lonnie’s death —a group of his Eighth District friends got together at the Pope beach house — “just as he would have wanted”, said Joe Sports, longtime friend of the genial Douglas politico. ****** Speaking of Mr. Sports, he seems to have a penchant for attracting rich supporters for his coming campaign for Comptrol ler-General. We now hear that Jackie Williams, the young mo bile home millionaire, is join ing the Sports camp, and will probably handle the Sports fi nance committee. They were boyhood friends and neighbors. ****** Bill Shipp, able political editor of the Atlanta Constitution, start ed "Action Line” in that paper and ran the promotion until named to his present job. One day he was out of town, and his wife decided to take advantage of his absence and ask "Action Line” to solve a school bus problem for her and some neigh bors. So, unknown to Mr. Shipp, she called "Action Line” and asked for aid. Still without Mr. Shipp's knowledge, “Action Line” solved the problem quick ly. The headline could be: “Wife Scoops Husband”. ***«•« Rumor says that the next Gen eral Assembly will face a bill to abolish the Fifth Congression al District and pul portions of Atlanta into the Ninth, Seventh, Fourth and Sixth. Might be a good start on the reapportion- ment problem which is certain to be ordered after the 1970 census. ****** The Georgia Department as Corrections has begun the pub lication of a new monthly mag azine, "The Challenger’’, edited by Dale Smith, public relations director for the department It is printed offset by the “In- Crowd News Staff of the Geor gia Training and Development Center at Buford ”. Following is an interesting so cial note from the latest issue: “Two hundred happy voyagers set sail for the island of Jamaica on the luxury cruise ship Ari adne. The occasion was the 30th annual convention of the Geor gia Prison Wardens Association. Though there were the regular business meetings of the Associ ation held on board during the trip, the Wardens and their guests had ample time to enjoy the delights of beautiful days and exciting nights at sea on the Caribbean. Then there were in teresting and exciting visits ashore at Port Centonia and Kingston. The Wardens’ guests on this enjoyable convention cruise, in addition to their fam ilies, included State Board mem bers, County Commissioners and a few Court Judges. All return ed better acquainted and more refreshed to take up their prob lems in the work-a-day world”. Ml Club Hold Meetings The George Washingtor Carver 4-H Club met Tues day, November 4.

Medden Many lawns in Bryan County are infested with one or more weeds. If weeds were a prob lem in your lawn this year, you may want to check your lawn maintenance practices. Weeds have a hard time in vading • well-tended lawns. However, some weeds find their way into the best lawns, and Dr. James F. Miller, Ex tension agronomist-weed con trol, has prepared 1 a new pub lication to help homeowners control these weeds. Proper fertilization and ir rigation help maintain a dense, healthy turf. Herbicides — chemical weed killers — can be used to destroy or prevent infestation by weeds. How ever, there are no substitutes for good lawn maintenance. The new publication, entit led “Weed Control in Lawns,” offers sections on the various types of weeds, a weed con trol schedule, photos of com mon weeds, recommended her bicide and hints on proper application. Interested homeowners may obtain copies of “Weed Con trol in Lawns” at local County Extension Service offices.

MICRO-M ESS AGES FOR THE MOON from 74 heads of state plus four U.S. documents are contained on this I 1 •_> inch diameter silicon wafer in a Time Capsule left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The messages were reduced to l/200th of their origi nal size by a new information technology process de veloped by the Sprague Electric Company Semicon ductor Division, Worcester, Mass. By etching the micro-messages in an ultra-thin, 4- millionths of an inch, quartz (silicon dioxide) coating on the silicon wafer, a record able to withstand the extreme conditions of space will remain permanently on the moon to signify the historic event. The Sprague process allows the pin-head sized mes sages to withstand temperatures over 1800°F indefi nitely, something far beyond the abilities of microfilm and other previous micro-reproduction techniques. Georgia Baptists Open Convention ATLANTA, Ga (AP) - The 148th session of the Georgia Baptist Convention opens today with federal funds for Baptist supported colleges one of the controversial issues facing the 2,000 messengers. ♦ The convention will hear a re port by Mercer Univeristy on the action of its board of trus tees in applying for federal grants after the convention ex pressed opposition to federal aid.
