MUCH ABUSED WORD
That much abused word “liberal” is in danger of
becoming more of a liability than an asset to aspiring
politicians. Candidates who have been quick to climb
on the liberal bandwagon may change their minds when
they read a late Gallup Poll. Mr. Gallup finds that
by a majority of 3 to 2, Americans favor the “conserva
tive” label. Popular understanding of a liberal ranges
all the way from “someone who looks at all sides of a
problem” to “someone who is generous with other peo
ple’s money” and “a drug addict”.
It’s not surprising that “liberal” has become a mis
understood word. Politicians have reversed its traditional
meaning for a long time. Under its manner, they have
advanced measures that are the antithesis of liberalism
—more government control over our lives. Even advo
cates of socialism and communism parade their philos
opies under the banner of liberalism.
A GOOD TIME OF YEAR
The Hindu poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote of sum
mer: “Today the summer has come at my window with
its sighs and murmurs; and the bees are plying their
minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.” There
is something about those words that express the spell
of the season which will arrive as usual on June 21st.
When all is said and done, the poet has caught what, for
a great many people, is the enduring spirit of summer
that will last longer in memory than the excitement and
fun of even the most momentous vacation.
What earthly experience is there that can truly
match the tranquility of a summer morning when the
sounds of nature can be heard as the heat of the rising
sun stirs afresh the good smells of the earth and its
vegetation. In the high mountains, the morning is usher
ed in with the dry hot smell of forests and perhaps the
murmur of a nearby stream blending with the sharp
strokes of an enterprising woodpecker. In the valleys,
the freshness of a summer morning is magnified by
traces of dew and the symphony of birds. The burst of
energy at the beginning of midsummer day is but a
prelude to indolence as the sun approaches its zenith,
driving dogs and small boys to the shade of the nearest
tree. These are the things we remember about summer
long after the rest is forgotten — things that only a
piet can recall.

REPORTS PROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
mu. ■
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, hundreds of American colleges
and universities have been the victim of demonstrations and riots
that have in many instances totally disrupted education, caused
untold property damage and even resulted in a tragic loss of lives.
During the 19&8-69 school year, there were more than 850
demonstrations on some 225 college campuses. There were 61
instances of arson and/or bombings. Approximately 200 building

seizures or sit-ins occurred, some of them at gunpoint. Approxi
mately 4,(XX) persons were arrested in connection with these
disturbances. Damage to campus facilities cost some $3 million.
One death and 125 injuries were reported.
From September, 1969 to February, 1970 there were 375
demonstrations on 76 college campuses. • 30 instances of
arson and/or bombings, and 50 sit-ins or building seizures. There
were 150 injuries reported, and property damage totalled $1.5
million.
This spring we have seen these demonstrations, many of them
blatantly lawless and wantonly destructive, increase in number
and intensity. To a large degree, student disorders have swept
the country primarily in protest of the war in Vietnam and its
expansion into Cambodia.
» ♦ *
NO ONE DESIRES to stitle dissent or to infringe upon anyone’s
right to protest any of our government policies. Students, just like
anyone else, have the right to be heard. And it is important that
we in government listen.
For the past several weeks, my office was visited by several
hundred students, many of them from Georgia. They came to
express strong discontent and protest about the war. I was glad
they came. There was the give and take of discussion in voices
calm enough to be heard and understood.
I could not always agree with them, nor they with me. But
most important, a dialogue was established. In my judgment,
with so much division, disorder and violence in the country today,
this is the kind of responsible action we need, and such students
are to be commended.
It is tragic indeed that college radicals, militants, or revolu
tionists who speak with a voice of violence defile the atmosphere.
Rather than peaceable dissent, their goal sometimes appears only
to be destruction and disorder. Their tactics, aside from being
outright lawless, are self-defeating if they wish to win the ear of
their government.

This has not been previously
announced, but Carl Sanders will
qualify as a Democratic candi
date for Governor of Georgia
on Tuesday, June 9, in the Old
Supreme Court room at the State
Capitol. As many friends as
would like to attend are invited,
but no special efforts will be
made to draw a crowd.
We'd like to take this oppor
tunity to express our reasons
why we think Sanders will be
elected overwhelmingly. They
are:
I—Me had a “clean” record
when in office before.
2—He has a far stronger or
ganization this time than he
had in his first race in 1963.
3—As a moderate, he is ac
ceptable to all groups of the
electorate.
4—He has the support of per
sons and groups who will see
that his campaign is adequately
financed.
s—He is already well known
all over the state.
6—He is by far the toughest
campaigner in the race.
7—He makes an excellent
television appearance.
B—He is above reproach in
both his personal anl political
life.
9—He has no strong opposi
tion, like Marvin Griffin was in
1962.
There are many more reasons
why we think he’ll win, but these
will do for a starter.

The following State officials
hosted an important meeting at
the Capitol last Friday: James
Floyd, Chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee; La
mar Plunkett, Floyd's counter
part in the Senate; State Auditor
Ernest Davis; State Budget Di
rector Battle Hall; Pete Hackny,
legislative budget officer; and
Oliver Welch, head of the State
Planning Commission.
Invited to the meeting were
department heads and fiscal of
ficers. Purpose was to discuss
changes made by the last Gen
eral Assembly in budget pro
cedures. This new law requires
department heads to do more
planning and justification) for
projects, and allow up to 6
years for some projects to cul
minate.
It was quite Tare to see this
many department heads at the
Capitol on Friday; many have
usually left town for the week
end by that time.
By the time this is printed Al
Hatcher will have qualified for
Comptroller-General, but here’s
what is to happen Monday, June
1. Hatcher will pay in at the
Capitol on that day because it's
his wife. Gay's birthday, and he
calls it his “lucky day". A birth
day cake will be muchly in
evidence, on which will be
checks from Hatcher's leader
ship in all 10 Congressional Dis
tricts.
Hatcher, incidentally, has an
nounced the formation of a
Youth Organzation in his cam
paign, to be called “Youth For
Action”. It will be directed by
Mell Traylor, a native of Sa
vannah.

Repr. Bobby Pafford, a can
didate for Public Service Com
missioner, says that his only
fear is that his “Grandma” will
win the race. Seems that so
many people have written
Grandma in appreciation of her
cookbook, which Bobby has
given out all over the state, that
she isn’t able to answer more
than small percentage of the
letters.
First Graders Enjoy Field Trip
Richmond Hills’ first graders
enjoyed a class trip to Savan
nah, Tuesday, May 26. Driven
by Mrs. Maude Smith, they
were accompanied by Miss Tex
anna Henderson, their teacher,
Mrs. Una Wasdin, Mrs. Micki
Maurer, Mrs. Annette Walker,
Mrs. Pat Sauls, Mrs. Betty
Broughan, and Mrs. Louise Al
len.
The group left the school at
9:30 and enjoyed singing fav
orite songs on the bus.
The first visit was to Pepsi-
Cola Bottling Company. Mr. W.
Waddell, manager, greeted the
group and showed them how
pepsi-cola is made. He told the
children about the invention of
pepsi, relating that a druggist
named Caleb Bradham of New
Bern, N. C., mixed the first
pepsi and sold it across the
counter as “Brad’s Drink” in
1869. Later, he changed the
name of the drink to pepsi-cola
and formed the company in
1903.
The children were served cold
pepsi and given pencils and
brochures before leaving for
their next stop, the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company.
At the bank they received an
other warm welcome, were di
vided into smaller groups, and
toured the entire bank.
The children reported they
enjoyed seeing the teller’s T.V.,
seeing and holding a large sum
of money ($40,000), viewing
how money is counted and
wrapped by machine, observing
computers in operation, riding
an elevator to the 15th floor,
playing in the park and talking
to a nice policeman on a motor
cycle.
A news photographer snap
ped their picture while at the
bank, and it appeared in the
evening paper.
The last stop was Burger
King, and then the trip back to
