Congressional candidate
Chambliss speaks in Perry
By BRIGETTE LOUDERMILK
Editor
Saxby Chambliss, a Republican
running for the Bth Congressional
District, told Perryans this week
that his top priority is ensuring that
Robins Air Force Base as well as
other military bases in the district
remain open.
"Not only do I realize the impact
to the area (RAFB serves), but also
its strategic defense of this coun
try," Chambliss said.
Around 20 individuals were in
vited to a breakfast at the New
Perry Hotel Tuesday, May 10 to
hear Chambliss speak and ask ques
tions. Those attending the breakfast
were Mayor James Worrall, Perry
City Councilmen Charles Lewis
and Buddy Roper, Houston County
Commission Chairman Sherrill
Stafford, County Commissioner
Archie Thompson, officials from
local businesses and other commu
nity leaders.
Chambliss also said he plans to
support agriculture because he
"understands the burden placed upon
farmers."
He discussed health care, saying
he was opposed to the federal gov
ernment becoming any more in
volved in the health care due to the
disasters of Medicaid, Medicare and
VA hospitals.
He did say that J. Roy Rowland,
the current Bth district congress
man, has the best health care bill
proposed and that is the bill he will
endorse.
The Houston County Health Department
would like to thank every parent that
responded to the call to have their
children immunized and these

The other office which is in
Alpharetta, Ga., has two lumber
and plywood brokers.
Wood states that Tolleson has
always done a fine job of marketing
the southern yellow pine, treated
pine, and hardwoods they produce.
He said it was a natural progression
for Tolleson to do the same good
marketing job for other forest
products producers. Flint River’s
customers are retail lumber yards,
wood treaters, millwork and
moulding plants, and the big
national retail chains such as 84
Lumber and Lowe's.

present wreaths to family members
of officers who died in the line of
duty.
