Psychiatrists
Approve Bill
ATLANTA PRN— The
Council of the Georgia
Psychiatric Association, at its
most recent meeting, went on
record as approving House Bill
No. 1, Georgia’s new mental
health legislation, enacted by
the 1969 General Assembly.
The governing authority of
each county can choose
between the “medical
procedure,” which is outlined
in the new law, and the
“judicial procedure,” which is
essentially the same as in the
current law. The Georgia
Psychiatric Association
Council is of the opinion that
the well being of psychiatric
patients is best met by the
counties following the
“medical procedure.”
The Georgia Psychiatric
Association is the Georgia
District Branch of the
American Psychiatric
Association, and is made up of
nearly 200 practicing
psychiatrists in the state of '
Georgia. 1

In Memoriam
In sad but loving memory of
B. REX COWART
who passed away one year ago,
November 23, 1968.
Recall memories of a loved
one gone to rest and those who
mourn for him today are those
who loved him best. -
The blow was hard, the shock
was severe, we little knew his
death was so near, and only
those who have lost can tell the
pain of parting without fare
well. They say time heals all
sorrow and helps us to forget,
but time so far has only proved
how much we miss you. Yet a
face that is ever before us a
voice we cannot forget, a smile
that will last forever, In mem
ory we see you yet, God gave
us strength to face it and cour
age to bear the blow. What it
meant to lose you no one will
ever know.
Sadly missed by
Wife and Daughters.

PEMBROKE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, Nov. 20. 1969
Over 350 Visitors Attend
Bryan Courthouse Open Hpuse
Approximately 350 citizens and friends of Bryan Co
unty visited the Bryan County Courthouse Sunday to
participate in the Open House activities which were spon
sored by the Bryan County Commissioners.
Commissioners spokesmen commented that they were
well pleased with the Open House and the large number
of people who attended the affair in order to observe the
improvements, renovations, and additions made during the
year.
Visitors were shown through each of the offices in
the annex by staff members of the ACSC Office, the
Dept, of FACS, the Extension Office, and the Dept, of j
Public Health. Each of these offices as well as the i
County Commissioners Room and the Court Room were j
beautifully decorated with arrangements of fresh flowers, '
many in gold, yellow, and bronze, featuring a fall or j
Thanksgiving Theme.
The Bryan County Commissioners, County Officials, |
and Courthouse personnel were present to welcome each
visitor and guide them through the offices on display, i
after which they were served punch annd cake.
The commissioners wish to express their appreciation
to the Courthouse personnel for their aid in preparing

He’s All Heart
Easy-going and always a
friendly smile for everyone
are just two ways that one
can describe this month’s
teacher of the month, Mr.
Hart.
Mr. Hart loves to fish,
hunt, and swim. His idea
of an ideal afternoon is sit
ting on his backproch, rock
ing in a chair and either
reading a book or thinking.
His only dislike is for some
one to tell him a story.
Once while fishing in a
boat, Mr. Hart fell out and
lost his pantsl He had to
walk all the way home
through the bushes so no one
would see himl (Can you
imagine?)
Mr. Hart has taught in
Tattnall, Bryan, Effingham,
and Chatham County schools.
This is his fifth year at
Groves.
After twenty-six years of
teaching, Mr. Hart has this
advice for students. “You
should spend at least fifteen
hours a week on your stu
dies. Then you wouldn’t
have to ’burn that midnight
oil.” Remember, study is
a commitment, and there
is no substitute for daily
preparation day by day, each
day.
So if you ever find yourself
with nothing to do, get a
book and rock with Mr. Hart.

Dixie Tax
Structure
Criticized
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - Aa
Atlanta research consultant,
specializing in fiscal prob
lems, says in a report that
tax structures of southern
states “bear little relationship
to the ability-to-pay princi
ple.”
The report, by Dr. Eva Ga
lambos, was released by the
Southern Regional Council,
Inc.
Dr. Galambos also charged
that “property taxes are no
respecters of poor families or
senior citizens ... and corpo
rate income tax structures (in
the South) fail to meet gener
ally accepted standards of
progressivity.”
H States Studied
Her study included It
states: Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina,
Texas and Virginia.
Her conclusions are that
three major approaches are
necessary to correct present
inequities of southern tax
structures.
These include':
—lncreased use of the in
come tax with more progres
sive rates to both state and
local levels provides the ma
jor possibility of reform of
tax structures which now lean
,heavily on sales and property
taxes.
—Sales and property taxes
as major revenue producers
are not likely to be aban
doned ... but tax credits and
rebates offer an alternative
“to offset the regressive ef
fects of property and co.v
sumer taxes on low income
families.”
—Equalized property as
sessments would not only
raise the revenue potential,
but also would distribute the
tax burden more equitably.
Not Equipped
According to Paul Anthony,
council executive director, the
report stemmed from "a con
viction that state and local
governments, because of out
moded tax structures, were
not adequately equipped to
deal with a host of unmet
public needs.”
Acording to Anthony, prior
ities which suffer most from
insufficient financing in the
South include public educa
tion. public assistance, mental
health programs and penal
reform.
Thece are some men in pub
lic office who ought to be in
private life.

VA PENSIONERS
QUESTIONNAIRES
With November Ist bene
fit checks, over 55,000 Geor
gia veterans, dependents and
survivors receiving Veterans
Administration pension bene
fits will receive their annual
income questionnaires, Pete
Wheeler, State Veterans Di
rector, said today.
Mr. Wheeler emphasized
the importance of benefici
aries completing the question
naires at their earliest conven
ience and returning them to
the Veterans Administration
no later than January 15,
1970.
If pensioners fail to com
plete the income question
naires and return them to the
VA before the deadline of
January 15 th, their pension
payments could be-suspended:
Entitlement to pension and
the amount of monthly pay
ments are directly related to
the amount of income pen
sioners have. While VA bene
fits arc not counted as in
come, other income factors
such as Social Security, retire
ment, rentals from real estate,
dividends and interest, and
earnings from employment
are considered by the VA in
determining pensioners’ bene
fits for the coming year.
Mr. Wbce’cr gave these tips
to pensioners on completing
the cards: “Be careful and fill
out the card properly. Be
sure all items are complete;
do not leave any blocks blank.
If the answer to any. question
is “none,” show “none”. Be
sure the card is signed, .dated
and returned in the special
envelope enclosed with the
card.”
This year dependent par
ents in Georgia receiving death
compensation from the VA
will also be asked to complete
an income questionnaire card.
Under regulations, these par
ents of deceased servicemen
are required to report their
income every three years. Par
ents receiving Dependency &
Indemnity Compensation ben
efits are required to report
their income yearly.
Assistance in completing
the questionnaires is available
from the nearest field office
of the Georgia Department
of Veterans Service.

method of expressing my sin
cere appreciation to all those
