REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
—/, ~ /* . ,< ' <
IHE NATIONAL COMMISSION on the Causes and Preven
tion of Violence has issued an ominous report on increasing crime
in American cities. It is a disturbing study of lawlessness in urban
areas that in recent years has been growing by leaps and bounds.
Yet. according to the Commission, the worst is still to come
unless positive action is taken. The report said cities arc well on
their way to becoming “places of terror" containing virtual for
tresses against the encroachment of criminal elements.
Ihe Commission predicted a rise in crime, more violence, and
an even greater decline in public safety. And it pointed out that
most of the crime has been and will continue to be committed
by young people, between 15 and 24 years of age.
IN A SENSE the Commission did not tell us anything we did
not already know. That is, that crime in our cities has become a
national problem that concerns us all.
For many consecutive years, we have seen the crime rate go
up lar ahead of the nation’s population growth. Since 1960, popu
lation increased II per cent, while serious crime rose 122 per
cent, and crimes of violence 106 per cent.
Multiply this several times over, and you have a fair picture
in many of our big cities today. I am not just talking about rioting,
looting and burning. 1 mean murder, rape, armed robbery, and
vicious assault.
Such is the danger today that people do not even feel safe
in a crowd. As we have seen in a great many instances in the
past, when someone is set upon in public, the people around tend
to do one of two things: I hey will either look the other way. or
even go to the aid of the criminal by attacking policemen
« * «
I CANNOT AGREE altogether with the idea that the ex
penditure ot more money, of vast sums on new federal social
programs, will solve this problem by itself.
It is important that we continue to attack all our social and
economic ills, but money alone is not the answer. What we need
also is more 1 support for law enforcement.
There is more disunity, hatred and crime in our country today
than ever before in modern history. If people everywhere have
ever needed to support law enforcement, to uphold law and
order, to respect officers of the law. that lime is now.

Card of Thanks
We would like to express
our sincere appreciation to all
those who were so kind and
thoughtful during our recent
loss.
We wish to thank each per
son who remembered the fam
ily with flowers, visits, calls,
cards, food and other expres
sions of sympathy.
Words cannot express out
feeling to you, but may God
bless each of you and always
keep you in his care.

Gov. Loiter Maddox
Reports^t|rf People
ATLANTA (PRN) - I
believe that this
Administration’s desire to
serve all of the people is
reflected in the bulk of the
legislation which has been
proposed by the Maddox
forces in the past three years.
Some plans which
supposedly will help the poor
to better their lot, when
stripped of their fancy
wrappings,
can also be
seen to be
nothing but
more politi
cal gimm
icks design
ed to help
politicians
and not the
people who
need help.
One specific case in point is
the new welfare program
proposed by the present
national administration which,
if implemented, will do many
times more than the “Great
Society” to breed a nation of
bums, parasites, welfare staters
and socialists.
We are told by the
President that, if passed by
Congress, this bill will serve to
give incentive to people to get
off welfare rolls when by his
own admission, the rolls
would jump from ten million
to 22 million recipients the
first year.
An additional truth is that,
by 1980, the present welfare
load of some ten million
people will have swelled to a
whopping 40 million persons
under such a plan at a cost of
not less than 40 billion dollars
annually.
Regardless of what fancy
label you put on it, this would
be a guaranteed annual wage,
as demanded by the
communists and socialists, and
this country, even with all of
its riches and resources could
not survive as a free nation
under such a load.
If the President is
successful in getting this
program passed, then-God
forbid—all industry in this
nation would become
socialized before 1980 and
ours would be a completely
socialistic state, no longer a
free republic and no longer the
United States of America as
we know it.
The only way that this
country can stand as a free
republic is for able-bodied
citizens to become successful
workers and taxpayers. To put
it another way, it is time for
public officials to put people,
progress and peace ahead of
parasites, punks and politics.

I agree that major changes
are long overdue in our
welfare programs which
traditionally have penalized
success and rewarded
mediocrity and failure, but
thirty million more people on
welfare, thirty billion more
dollars in annual welfare costs
and putting this nation 180
degrees closer to being a
socialist state do not lead to
solutions which will save
people and save our nation.
What the President and
Congress should be doing is
getting people off welfare, not
on it. And this cannot be done
by giving welfare handouts to
additional millions of people
who have not asked for
welfare, who do not want
welfare and who do not
deserve welfare.
The facts of life prove to us
that the proposed added
millions of people to the
welfare rolls, in most
instances, would discourage
recipients from earning
additional wages once the
maximum amount that could
be earned without losing
welfare payments had been
reached.
This is a truth that the
national Administration does
not want to admit, but once a
recipient adds his welfare
payments and earnings
together and finds that, in
earning another dollar, he
loses half a dollar in welfare,
that person will not try to
eam any more money by the
sweat of his own brow, but, in
most instances, will remain on
welfare for the rest of his life.
My friends, I am convinced
that we will never be able to
completely solve our welfare
probelm, but 1 believe that
with proper programs there is
away to prevent this problem
from becoming any worse, and
maybe to even improve it by
doing more for the sick, the
lame, the blind, the helpless
and those too old or too
young to help themselves, and,
at the same time, do less, or
nothing, for the satchel toters,
the parasites, the bums and
many politicians who need to
start earning their own bread.
Right now, the welfare
staters are wrecking our
government and eating up the
earnings of the taxpayers
while, at the same time, the
U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare is using
billions of dollars gleaned
from industry to make the
Welfare Department the

COTTON TRANSFERS
DEADLINE NEAR
Applications for transfer of
cotton allotments for the 1970
crop must be filed no later than
December 31, 1969 according to
H. L. Page, Chairman of the
Bryan County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
(ASC) Committee.
He reported that farm allot
ment and projected yield no
tices have been mailed to farm
operators so they are now able
to make production plans for
next year.
In Bryan County, growers
voting in a special referendum
last May approved transfer of
cotton acreage allotments, by
sale or lease, out of the county.
So transfer of allotments local
ly may be made from one farm
to another within the state.
Cotton allotments may not be
transferred across state lines.
Transfers of allotments be
tween farms within the county
and from a farm owned to an
other farm owned or operated
by the same individual are not
subject to referendum approval.
However, such allotment trans
fers must be filed with the
ASCS county office before the
December 31 deadline.
The December 31 deadline
therefore applies to all trans
fers of 1970 cotton allotments
for Bryan County farms —
whether by sale, lease, or by
the owner.
FARMERS CAN SAVE
ALLOTMENTS WHEN
FARMLAND IS PRE
EMPTIED
When an agency takes farm
land for a highway, airport, res
ervoir, or other purpose by
right of ‘eminent domain,’ Con
gress has made provisions for
the farm owner to retain his
rights to crop acreage allot
ments and bases.
The Chairman of the Bryan
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC) Commit
tee, H. L. Page, said some
farmers do not realize they can
have up to three years after
displacement in which to trans
fer these crop acreage rights to
other farmland.
The provisions apply to farm

allotments for upland cotton,
extra long staple cotton, pea
nuts, rice, tobacco, wheat, and
to feed grain bases for cotton,
grain sorghums, and barley.
A farm owner may retain
his rights in these allotments
and bases whenever an agency
with the power of eminent do
main acquires his farmland —
whether or not the eminent do
main power is actually used.
When a farm owner agrees to
sell his land to such an agency,
the transaction is regarded as
an eminent domain acquisition
just as if the legal procedure
for pre-empting land had been
used. The farm owner’s rights
in his crop allotments and bases
are protected for a limited time
whenever his farmland is ac
quired by an agency with the
power of eminent domain.
Page emphasized that the
protection is for a limited time
only—three years from the date
of displacement. “We can’t
stretch that by a single day,”
he said. “A farm owner has
three years from the date he
lost actual control of the land
— and only three years — in
which to reclaim his allotments
and bases.”
The most important item for
a farmer to remember is to re
port to the County ASCS office
when an eminent domain
agency acquires some of his
farmland.
“Our ASCS people in the
county office will explain his
rights to him. The County
ASC Committee will determine
the date of displacement, and
will act to put his allotments
and bases in a pool. He can
then draw them out when he
has acquired other farmland.
Or if he already has other
farmland, the rights can be
transferred as of the date of
displacement,” said Page.
The farm owner may trans
fer his allotment and base acre
ages anywhere in the United
States where the crops involved
are normally grown. He starts
the transfer on its way by go
ing to the County ASCS Office
in the county where his new
farm is located and, making the
request.

GEORGIA PULPWOOD
PRODUCERS HIT RECORD
HIGH
Georgia pulpwood producers
advanced to a new record in
1968 and continued to lead the
nation. Over 6.9 million cords
were produced.
Georgia’s 1968 pulpwood
production increased nine per
cent over 1967, says Nelson
Brightwell, forester with the
University of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service. For the
past 21 years Georgia has been
the southern pulpwood leader
and the national leader for the
past four years.
Seven counties produced over
100,000 cords of pulpwood dur
ing 1968. The leading county
was Wayne with 192,440 cords.
Ware County was second in the
state with 166,042, followed by
Clinch County with 152,661
cords.
Other counties producing
over 100,000 cords last year
were Appling, Camden, Jeff
Davis and Echols.
15 pulpmills are now oper
ating in the state with a com
bined pulping capacity of 13,-
366 tons per day. These mills
provide a market for pulpwood
from every county in the State.
Commenting further on the
importance of the pulp indus
try in the state, Brightwell
pointed out that more than 67,-
000 Georgians are employed in
forest industries. Os the total
contribution to the economy
from forest-based industries,
pulp and paper manufacturing
contributes almost two-thirds
or $615 million.

The new
C&S Bank Building
is all-electric.
Naturally. Who knows more about
a wise investment than a banker?
A banker doesn’t make big mistakes and stay
in business. Nobody does. Any enterprise needs
low-cost, dependable energy. But C&S also
wanted a structure of elegance and practicality.
Given these problems, the architect designed an
exciting solution. A round building. With all
floors suspended from overhead trusses and a
central core. And a profile which sparkles
with sun and city lights.
Electricity was a good choice for this design.
Because electricity adapts to any space without
wasting it. And in business, space is money.
The owners of 7.720 commercial buildings in
Georgia feel the same way. If you want to learn
more about why. see Georgia Power’s commercial
representatives. They can help make your
money work hard for you, too.
