T Second Class Postage Paid at Pembroke, Ga Worst Time Possible Much has been said of late concerning a con stitutional amendment that would substitute the direct election of a President of the United States for the present electoral college method of selecting a man to fill the highest office in the land, Many concerned citizens are opposed to the idea of direct elections, and their ranks are growing, ' In a news release, the American Farm Bu reau . Federation expresses deep concern about proposed elimination of the electoral college system noting that, ‘‘The establishment of the direct election of the President would be the first step in a process which eventually would abolish state representation in Congress and let popu lation determine the apportionment of members in both Houses. The duality of our government, state and federal, has made it unique in the history of popular governments. It is the single greatest strength that sets us apart from the rest of the world,”” Another opponent of the di rect election, Mr, Richard N. Goodwin, writing in the Washington, D.C., Post observes, ‘“‘Di rect election might well bring us a farmers’ party, a senior citizens’ party, a black party and other groups coalescing around common in terest and belief....lf this is so, then direct election could not come at a worse time--when the tendency to political fragmentation and ideo logical division is reaching new heights.”’ Direct election of a President could be the beginning of a catastrophic alteration in the U.S. constitutional system under which our people have enjoyed a greater measure of li berty than any other people in history, 4k s R HMMR@QHC’”E% Fajou kol g A new high in official arrogance came to light when the sharp eyes of news reporters dince 1962, Insurance Costs Have Gone Up 100% Johnnie Caldwell ® - Will Do Something!

The law also dic tated a SIOO fine for any airline employee or travel agency telling a customer of the tax. This is indeed shocking behavior from the same ho lier-than-thou legislative body that has made such a crusade out of truth-in-lending, truth in-packaging and all the other ‘‘truth’’ bills we have heard about in recent years. Not only did a majority of congressmen seek to hide - the truth, but they acted as well to muzzle the exercise of free speech. This particular instance of the arrogance of officialism is an affront to the sensibilities of every citizen and demonstrates once again the meaning of that timeless expression, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, Public servants who seek to hide the truth from the people who have elected them to posts of responsibility in government are not to be trusted. New Utilization at Electric Generating Plant Fly Ash, Once Wasted, . . Used in Homes, Gardens Very shortly, the bricks you vse in building your home bar becue pit may have had part of their origin at a Georgia Power Company steam-electric generating plant. The same may be said for the concrete blocks used in building homes, fertilizer for those home-grown tomatoes, and for the asphalt and con crete paving in front of your home. The reason: fly ash, a by product once considered a li ability in producing electricity, soon will be collected at the plant site for processing into a valuable substance. The util ity this week announced a con tract with Dayton Fly Ash Company, a division of Ameri can Metal Climax, to set up collecting and procesing facil ities at Georgia Power’s Plant Jack McDonough, located on the Chattahoochee River 13 miles north of Atlanta. Millions Spent Georgia Power Company, since it first began operating large steam-electric generating plants in the mid-19305, has spent millions of dollars instal ling special precipitators to prevent the minute particles of fly ash, a residue from burn g coal, from being released Finto the air. As equipment has become refined, the company has utilized it to become in creasingly successful in an ex- tensive battle for cleaner air. As a result, however, the utility at each of its steam generating plants has found itself the unwilling possessor of ever-growing mountains of fly ash. In earlier years, com panies similar to Dayton Fly Ash have made sporadic pur chases, but nothing like those anticipated by the Dayton company. According to Robert W, Sty ron, project engineer for Day ton, fly ash can be used as an economical admixture in con erete and concrete products, in bricks, asphalts and fertilizers, and as a lightweight aggregate and a soil stablizer. Thousands of Tons “Our company will collect thousands of tons of quality fly ash annually at the plant,” he said. “We plan to have the equipment installed and begin operations by the first of November. 5 “The principal use for fly ash is as a partial replace ment for portland cement in concrete,” Mr. Styron said. “It is generally considered to be applicable as a 20- to 25- percent replacement for ce ment in nearly all concrete mixes.” ~ He explained that not on’l‘ﬁ * was the residue less than thi price of cement, but it also improved the quality of the concrete. It increases ultimate 5 compressive strength, improves " workability, finish and appear ' ance, reduces harm from freez * ing and expansion and in creases the life of concrete products, he said. : The most valuable charae % teristic of fly ash is that it re- E: acts with free lime liberated '. in the hydration of cement to 3 produce a denser mix and a ﬁ more water-tight product, ac ;. cording to the project engi i neer. &: Used in Construction ® The residue has been used E' on three Interstate highways :' in Georgia.

B E .M ATLANTA (PRN) o Whenever sportsmen get together . . .and especially outdoor writers ... it seems one of the inevitable topics is that of dams. If you ever want to hear unkind words about dams and damming, your best source is the majority of outdoor writers. Now, I see the danger of too many dams in too many places, to be sure. Yet, 1 suppose I'm somewhat unique in that I don’t believe in putting out a blanket condemnation of all dams, just for the sake of condemning. To me, sportsmen have benefited greatly from many of the reservoirs that have been built. Don’t misread this to mean that I give blanket ~approval -of all dams, either.' ‘ R 1 | am receiving many calls concerning who is qualified to vote in the Primary Run-Off. Anyone who is registered and eligible to vote, even though he may NOT have voted in the primary, is eligible to vote in the Run-Off Primary.. If a person voted in the first Primary, he may vote in the same Party’s Run-Off, but he cannot vote in another Party’s Run-Off. In oter words, a registered voter who did not vote in the first Primary may vote in either the Republican or Democratic Party Run-Off, but not in both. A person who voted in the Republican Party’s Primary may vote in the Republican Party’s Primary Run-Off, and a person who voted in the Democratic Party’s Primary may vote in the Democratic Party’s Run-Off, but he cannot vote in the other Party’s Run-Off. BEN W. FORTSON, JR. Secretary of State BY DEAN \/\/OHLGEMUTH. Georgia Game and Fish Commission Rivers Are There For The Using Each case has to be dealt with individually. The point I'm making is that dams and reservoirs offer a fantastic amount of recreation to fishermen, boaters and campers. For one thing, most reservoirs have ample public use areas. In addition, there’s lots of water, more area for fishing and boating, more launching ramps and camp sites than there ever were on the streams before dams were built. The big argument about dams is that they spoil good river fishing. Now, many times this is true. All too often, though, the good river fishing has not been put to good use...and wouldn’t have been unless a dam was built. You get on a major lake on a weekend and it’s jammed with boats. You get on a river, and you see mighty few boats. No doubt about it, the rivers are beautiful and provide excellent sport. The problem is, few people use them, because they don’t know how to, where to go. A couple weeks ago, for example, | made a trip to the Ocmulgee River. Now, here is a stream that is as beautiful as any you’d hope to see. No, it doesn’t look like a trout stream ...it isn't a trout stream. It’s a middle and south Georgia river, and what it lacks in riffles and mountains and falls, it makes up for in spanish moss, wide pools, shoals and even an occasional alligator. It's a different type of stream than a trout stream. It has a beauty all its own. [ hope it will always remain as it is now, wild and free. There is plenty of space on the Ocmulgee to find fish. And the fish are there. I was tossing plugs that day with Norman (Skeets) Pollock of Hawkinsville. Skeets got several strikes on this hot summer day, in the middle of the day. Trouble was, we weren't hanging any. They’d strike but not stay hooked. He had one bass of a couple pounds by midaftéernoon. . Irvin Thanks Voters; Lanier Adds Support ATLANTA (PRN)-Com missioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin said this week he is confident of election to a full term in the November general election. In expressing his appreciation to the thousands of voters who gave him better than a two to one margin in the primary last week, Irvin Load -& £ IRVIN said his defeated Democratic opponent, William Lanier, had offered his full support and coop eration in the race against his GOP opponent in November. “I am most grateful for the wonderful display of public confidence expressed in the primary election,” Irvin said, “and I certainly welcome the support of Mr. Lanier.” Irvin added he would continue his efforts to expand and improve Department of Agriculture’s services while seeking to involve more citizens in the Department and its responsibilities. Finally, Skeet worked us in close to a spring. I tossed a topwater lure close to a huge cypress and let it lay for a few moments, then gave it a twitch. The lure disappeared in a spray and a splash, and headed for the bottom. Using all the pressure [ dared, I got the fish up, but had to keep him clear of several rocks. Moments later I hauled in a five-pound largemouth. A half hour later, I had another large fish on, but this one had his own ideas of how things should be done. I never saw him. He found something underwater to rub the lure from his mouth. Naturally, I enjoyed catching the goodsized bass. But most of all, I enjoyed the serenity and beauty of the Ocmulgee. I wondered why more people don’t fish these rivers.
