Second Class Postage Paid at Pembroke, Ga, Another Fourth It has often been said that U.S citizens have lived in a condition of freedom for so long they have forgotten the evils of oppression. We take for granted the individual worth of a per son, equal right under the law, acceptance of government as a protector and referee for all citizens and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. With the approach of another Fourth of July the words of Dr. John A. Howard, president of Rockford College, as he views these matters should have a special meaning: “Havinggrown up with these concepts as the conditions of our living, we cannot comprehend, we cannot register upon how revolutionary they were when first proclaimed, nor do we realize how they contrast with what exists in the police state nations, nor how they differ from con temporary democracies that carry still the deep rooted psychological mind-set of their monarchical heritage. The existence of a House of Lords and a House of Commons maintains the message that the common man, even risen to the highest position, remains a commoner. By contrast, in our country, with our Inheritance of assumptions the phrase “second-class citizen” very rightly stirs indi gnation. . . ” We should think about these things on this Fourth of July 1970. No Easy Way A late issue of a national news magazine summed up the week’s news. it reported the spreading of war protests, the growing threat of recession, rampant inflation, the declining stock market, growing Soviet power in the Mideast, dissent among presidential aides and other disruptions that appear to be piling one on top of another. The general tone of much of the comment concerning the happenings of the day is that something had PhutoK>*nphed at con Nt ruction site of Etowah plant We’ll spend almost $1 million every day to keep up with your electric needs. Georgia Power will spend more than $230 million for construction this year, because you are using more elec tricity than ever. That’s nearly $ 1 million each working day. to build new facilities and enlarge existing ones. This year's construction budget is the largest in our history. It's $79 million more than the combined invest ments of all the 140 new industries that came on our service lines last year. And, since this money must be raised in the open market, record-high interest rates will add millions of dollars more to our costs. The money will be used to build generating stations. New substations. Transmission and distribution lines. Because our goal is to continue supplying plenty of de pendable, low-cost electric power that makes life better in so many ways. We think that's a pretty important job. And well worth the money we spend. Georgia Power Company A citizen wherever we serve " better be done, because people will not acceM what they feel to be an intolerable situations If events turn out wrong, as they well might W in Cambodia for instance, present signs in- 1 dicate that another American President may I virtually be run out of office. The President ■ may also fall into disfavor if he does not fl “cure” inflation and many of the other ailments ■ of the country. In looking over a single week’s news of the ■ discontent and tendency to blame the other ’ fellow or to tear down basic institutions of a self-governing people, it is hard to escape the conclusion that most current problems are the result of trying to take the easy way out of past problems. Continuing to seek the easy way will simply multiply the problems of tomorrow. Herman Talmadge , REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE AMERICANS ACROSS the country this Fourth of July will pause to recognize the 194th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In these perilous times it is reassur ing to look back over two centuries to the day when the soul of America was affirmed by the establishment of our most basic belief—that each man is endowed with a divine right to be free. No one needs to be reminded of the grave problems besetting America today. The problems are real and immediate. They de serve and demand our deepest concern and attention. But we must not lose perspective. July 4 is traditionally a day to look back— so that our focus on today and tomorrow will be more clear. Many people this week will be prophets of doom for America's future. I do not agree with them. History shows, however, that we have survived critical periods before. More than a century ago we weathered a war which divided state from state, son from father, brother from brother—and threatened to destroy the nation of the Founding Fathers. Yet we learned from that crisis. From the crucible of conflict grew a united people and a strong nation. From it came modem America. ♦ * « I’ODAY THE AMERICAN people are again tortured by divi sion and disunity. Across the country citizens are questioning long-held convictions and institutions of government and society to determine if alteration is needed, or if improvement can be made. This is not just confined to young people. The nation's prob lems are the problems of all of us. in the Congress and through out the United States. At a time like this, the country cannot afford citizens who are not concerned about American values. The American society is continually changing in ways we can not deny and must not ignore. Yet change never comes easily, especially when there is intense disagreement over why or how or if we should change. Such dissension is the source of today’s turmoil. Despite the hurt and anger of the present unrest, we can emerge a stronger nation because of understanding and direction that can result—so long as we keep as our beacon today princi ples set forth 194 years ago, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." —And also so long as we do not lose sight of fundamental principles that are just as worthy today as when this nation was being founded. ^^w***-*- JU I -gSS* s W; "Wfti ■ r V-' *>- A -. ■ Gaping shell holes in the brick work testify to the first use of rifled cannon in warfare at Fort Pulaski near Savannah, Ga. (Ga. Dept, of Industry & Trade) - PRN TOUR GEORGIA SAVANNAH, Georgi: (PRN) — There aren’t man; waterways in the nation tha weave through more historii terrain than those surroundini Savannah. Today, pleasure boaters car cruise through more than tw< centuries of history’ whil< following the meanderinj waterways. One interesting voyage car take you to historic For Pulaski. Most people see th< fort only from landward side but boatmen can view it frorr the sea approach to Savannah that the old, mid-19th century brick fort was built to defend The fort’s low silhouette ia from seaward belies its historic iy importance. Probably few at boatmen realize that one of ic the world’s most radical ig changes in land warfare occurred here. In April, 1862 in Union forces captured it from o the Confederates, battering Ie the walls with rifled cannon ‘g shells for the first time in the history of warfare. The advent ■ n of the rifled cannon doomed rt brick forts. le You can also cruise the e , busy harbor, and land at Fort n Jackson at the Five Fathom Hole on the Savannah River. y This old, brick fort has a i. commanding view of the river e and the deep anchorage. As ■ly as 1734, a defensive Btery was located on tpe ■, and later was replaced by ■pr forts, the last in the being built in 1842. 5’T. known as the Fort Kcson Maritime Museum, S ancient structure is under H administration of the H>rgia Historic Commission. fl^The Intra-Coastal Waterway Misses to the east of the city llowing the Wilmington and Skidaway rivers. The coastal islands through which these rivers meander are covered with lush vegetation. The Wilmington River portion of this cruise is particularly historical. Two famous cemeteries - Bonaventure and Greenwich - dating from Colonial times - are on the west bank. The Spanish moss festooned oaks waving languidly in the breeze give little indication of the stirring events they’ve seen. At Thunderbolt you see the picturesque base of the shrimp fleet working the offshore waters. Shrimp boats with their web-like nets always create fascinating seascapes. You also can just cruise among the islands exploring such rivers and creeks as Tybee, Lazaretto, Shad, Romerly Marsh, Halfmoon, Delegal, Adams, Turners and Oyster to mention a few. However, when cruising away from government marked channels make certain you have U.S.C. & G.S. Chart No. 440 (Savannah River to Wassaw Sound) aboard. Soundings are in feet. Why not take your boat to Savannah and retrace the area’s history on water.

How could anyone predict what that document being posted would mean to mankind? Since then, the Declaration of Independence has changed history for the better. For the message of that document was destined to enter the hearts and minds of freedom-loving men every where. Let us all, as Americans, pause today and be thankful for that declaration that allows us to live in a free nation. A happy Fourth of July!

Why not pay all students a reasonable flat amount instead of varying our payments? A. A good question. A basic principle of the social se curity program is to relate benefit amounts and contri butions to earnings. In gen eral, the higher the earnings of a parent under social secu rity, the higher the benefit for his dependents or survivors. Thus, the benefits reflect the level of living that the parent was able to achieve for him self and his family when he was working. By paying vari able benefits, the program makes possible the payment of amounts that are meaning ful to most beneficiaries and not just to those with low in comes. Recognizing that the parent with low earnings has less margin for reduction in his income than does the parent with average or above-average earnings, the law provides that dependents or survivors of a worker with low average earn ings will get benefits that are a higher percentage of those earnings.
