state my program of 100 per
cent protection with faster
claim settlement and fairer
resolution of insurance
problems.”
Donating the plane, Millard
F. Reeves, a Thomaston
businessman expressed his
belief and hope in Johnnie
Caldwell at the Tuesday
ceremony.
“The people of this state
must realize the importance of
this office,” Caldwell
continued, “It affects
everyone. We need to make
the public aware of how we
can cut down on insurance
premiums and costs while at
the same time increasing
service and protection.”
Georgians all over the state are
bitteny opposed to the student
demonstrations which are tear
ing this country apart. This in
cludes a great majority of young
people, too, but the Communist
students leading the demonstra
tions have gulled a few other
wise decent kids into believing
that they are rendering a great
service to America by opposing
United States efforts in South
east Asia to prevent Communism
from taking over that entire part
of the world.
The students, otherwise inno
cent, who have been misled by
the militants on Georgia cam
puses, fail to see the damage
they are doing to our democratic
way of life. The best thing that
could happen to them is for their
parents to take them to the
woodshed and administer an old
fashioned licking.
Many people laughed at Gov
ernor Maddox for declaring
that Communists are active on
our college campuses. He very
properly considers the SDS
crowd as believers in that ideo
logy, even though they may not
carry a Red card.
More than a year ago we
asked a high official with the
Board of Regents why they
didn't kick the SDS members
out of the University of Geor
gia. His answer was that they
couldn’t do it without a good
reason, that the Regents would
be hauled into federal court
and made to let the SDS back
in school. Well, they have a good
reason now, for the demonstra
tions on the Athens campus, led
by about 30 SDS’ers, destroyed
state property and were other
wise disorderly. If the Regents
don’t kick them out now, the
Regents should resign in a body,
for they will no longer have the
confidence of Georgians.
On the matter of the Kent
University students who were
killed by National Guardsmen
while trying to stone the Guards
men to death, we feel that these
students received just what they
deserved. We have yet to find a
single person who doesn’t agree
with that judgment, though, ad
mitted'y, we haven’t talked to
the SDS or to any Communists,

Here's a letter sent last week
to Dr. Noah Langdale, President
of Georgia State University, by
a student who resented the
school being closed on Friday.
We wish every student through
out the state who was barred
from continuing his studies that
day would write a similar letter.
This student wrote as follows:
Dear Dr. Langdale:
As I am a student who attends
Georgia State to receive an edu
cation, I consider it outrageous
Jones Speaks
In Thomson
THOMSON (PRN)- State
Rep. Charlie Jones says he
believes Georgians this year
are determined to elect
candidates “who are interested
in solving state problems
rather than in having a forum
for expressing their gripes and
pet peeves at the world.”
“When a public office is
used for one’s own selfish
purposes, it is time for the
voters to clean house,” he told
the
Thomson
Rotary
Club. “That
time has
come in
Ge orgia.”
Jones, a
probable
candidate
for lieut
enant gove-
REP. JONES
rnor, said “Georgians have
been exposed for three years
and four months to such a
situation. No progress to
improve the quality of living
for Georgians has come out of
the governor’s office. Just a
lot of name-calling and
personal orating.”
“The State Capitol in
Atlanta is not supposed to be
operated as such a forum.
When we Georgians elect state
officials, we expect them to be,
primarily concerned with state
progress and growth.”
The House Majority Whip
said "Georgia is saddled with
many problems that are gening
worse instead of better. How
much longer can we afford the
type of leadership provided us
in recent years? No longer
than next January.”
that I have been denied one day’s
education. Also, since I have
to work to support a family and
pay tuition costs, I am upset
that I am not getting the full
benefit of my financial invest
ment.
I, therefore, respectfully re
quest that you instruct the Con
troller to refund me one day’s
tuition costs. I estimate that I
am due $3.52.
Sincerely, C. John Humphrey

Speaker of the House George
L. Smith is enthusiastic about
the benefits which will accrue to
the state when the General As
sembly becomes computerized,
part of which will be accom
plished by the 1970 session and
the balance by 1971. His des
cription of just what this com
puter can do to speed up legis
lative action, and save the tax
payers’ money, makes sound
common sense, and if even half
of what he envisions is accom
plished, it will be the best money
the legislature ever spent when
a committee visited several states
to see how computers really
worked.

Repr. Charlie Jones is slated
to announce on May 18 that he
will be a candidate for Lieut.-
Governor in this year’s Demo
cratic primary. And Repr. Mac
Barber will tell on the 16th if he
will make a statewide race or
not.

Governor and Mrs. Maddox

The Women’’s Democratic
Conference held in Atlanta on
May 1-2 was a distinct flop.
Very few ladies showed up —
must to the chagrin of several
candidates who had opened hos
pitality suites at the Dinkier.

We understand that Mrs.
Merle Meacham has resigned as
a Vice-Chairman of the Demo
cratic Party of Georgia, and that
Mrs. Edna Kendrick, of Colum
bus, who was Democratic Na
tional Committeewoman under
Gov. Marvin Griffin, is being
suggested as Mrs. Meacham's
successor.
In 1969, more than 56,500
deaths were recorded on the
country’s highways. The num
ber of injured topped 4,700,000.
Both figures were the highest
in history.

Forestry Tips
Why Thin Pine Timber
Stands —Ag adequately
stocked pine stands
grow and become lar
ger, the trees begin to
compete with each other
which in turn causes
their growth to slow and
the weak ones begin to
die. If nothing is done,
eventually many weak
trees die and the others
grow slower emd slower.
When this happens, fo
rest owners lose part
of the potential income
of the forest. If thin
ned at the proper time,
the weak trees can be
removed before they
die; and the proper nu
mber of healthy, fast
growing trees can be
kept and their growth
will not slow down as
much and will continue
to make satisfactory
growth for a much
longer time.
Thinning Pine Stand
s a landowner is
offered a bonus price
per cord by loggers to
allow them to clear cut
pine stands rather than
thin them. It is well
worth taking a lower
price per cord to have
a producer properly thin
a young stand so that
quality sawtimber can
be developed in the stand
in the future. Growing
some of your trees to
larger sizes through
good forest management
is profitable.
Do Crowded Trees
Grow Taller? Many
people have the false
assumption that crow
ded trees grow taller.
This seems to be true
because crowded trees
have small diameters,
smaller crowns and are
much better pruned than
open grown trees. How
ever, research has
shown that trees of the
same species growing
on the same quality of
soil will generally have
the same height at any
given age regardless of
stocking. Research has
also revealed that if
stocking is extremely
heavy, the height growth
is actually reduce so
in this case the oppo
site of what most people
believe is true.

County Office Manager
Certify Crop Acreages
Early, ASC Chairman
Advises With signup
in the wheat, feedgrain,
and cotton programs
over and planting under
way, farmers in Bryan
County should apply for
measurement service at
the County Agricultural
Stabilization and Con
servation Services (AS
CS) Office.
This reminder came
today from H.L.Page,
Chairman of the Bryan
County ASC Committee,
who said measurement
service often saves far
mers money. “If a far
mer plants before mea
surement, he may plant
too much and be out
not only the cost of
planting, but may also
be out the cost of plowing
up the crop. If he plants
less than his allowed
acreage, he may lost
money by not having as
much production as he
is entitled to.”
Measurement service
is offered by the County
ASCS Office to farm
program participants as
a sure way to know they
are in compliance with
acreage requirements
of farm programs.
When a farmer parti
cipates in the wheat,
feed grain, or cotton
program, he certifies
to the precise acreage
he has in these crops
and, except for cotton,
the acreage he has di
verted from these
crops. There is no
voluntary diversion
provision in the cotton
program this year.
The farmer must also
be certain he has enough
additional acres in con
serving use to meet his
conserving base re
quirement. Errors in
certification can result
in reduction or loss of
payments.
Page describes cer
tification as a “do-it
yourself” system by
which farmers report
their crop and program
acres to the County
ASCS Office. The
Chairman cautioned that
farm acreages must be
certified before the crop
disposition date, that is,
the final date after which
the crop may not be
plowed under for com
pliance.
Most farmers parti
cipating in these pro
grams are familiar with
the “spot check” sys
tem, he says, under
which farms picked at
random have their crop
acreages measured.
Producers found out of
compliance by spot
check may not dispose
of the excess crop to
bring their acreage back
in compliance.
Early certification
will help speed up pro
ments, Page said. Se
cretary of Agriculture
Clifford M. Hardin an
nounced earlier this
year that final pay
ments to farm program
participants in 1970 will
be made as soon as
possible after July 1.
Payments are expected
to be completed as much
as two months earlier
than in previous years.
“For some farmers,
early certification may
mean they will have to
move some of their work
a little ahead of sche
dule.” Page said.
The answer to the highway
problem lies in more and bet
ter driver education, tighter
laws and law enforcement.
