We hear about.the dangers of being destroyed by the atomic bomb. I‘m not afraid of the atomic bomb, Khrush- chey, or any known Communist. The ones I’m afraid of are the ones who are supposed to be our friends, but are not. This includes corrupt politicians on national, state and local levels that would sell the future of little children for money, power and prestige. Worst of all the complacent individuals who don’t give a hoot what happens, who's in power, what's going to happen to our children, or what the future holds as long as their belly‘s full. Their defense is that they can’t do anything about it, why should they worry about it. Part of the plan is to destroy the law and respect for it, holler police brutality, and try to make local officials look like a bunch of hoodlums. Such was the case of Selma and Dallas County. Every communist front organization in the country sent their trained agitators, schooled in how to take a crowd ‘and turn it into a mob, create a riot and get someone killed. The liberal press was only going to print one side of the story so as to create hate and divide this country and make us look like a fool all over the world. The local law finds himself in an awkward position. He has to protect the very - a ‘ones who have come to raise hell. He has to protect the ones that are to be used and also the local citizenry. You may have a husband, brother or friend fighting the communists _ ie “in Vietnarn and you might feel Hestered: and bewildered when you know the countries that have received billions of our tax dollars are hauling supplies to the enemy to help kill our boys with. | just wonder how Jim Clark felt when. charged with keeping law and order, the Justice Department tried by injunction to keep him from doing what was neces- sary to do. He was harassed from the liberal press and con- demned from all sides. He was called all hours of the night, _ threatened, insulted, cursed, and even the tenderest spot of all, the life and welfare of his family was threatened. They spent many months in jail and under guard 24 hours a day. ma and Dallas County, not the Justice Department. lf the public didn’t think that Wilson Baker was a man that the Justice Department could work through and run Selma and Dallas County, then all doubt should be removed when they stepped into a local election and had a bunch of illegal votes counted, and certified Wilson Baker as the Democratic candidate for Sheriff. You know, I’m told that it was illegal votes that put Lyndon B. Johnson in his first public office. ‘Tonight | put the most precious possessions that | own to bed —a little girl 10, one 7, a boy 5, and a girl 2—and the thought struck me that I’m responsible for their future. | wondered what | would tell them in the future if they were to ask me, “Daddy, what did you do when the Justice De- partment took over Selma and Dallas County?” | promised myself one thing, that my answer would not be “Nothing.” If you haven't been overcome let’s have the Jim Clark Day honoring Jim and the public officials who have stood up for us and the freedom of our country. Let’s put this man back in the office he is so well qualified for, on a write-in ticket. They say it can’t be done, but it’s legal.

Although, living in DeKalb County, we are not actual residents of the city, what affects Atlanta very much affects us in the outer limits.

It is high time that the truth of the situations be told - in the news media throughout the country. We thank you, Mayor Allen for your courage in going into the confusion and bringing about rapid order from the chaos. The Police Department indeed deserves a medal of honor... particularly the colored police who were very much in evidence at the situation. This situation, covered in depth by the television, radio and the news magazines will be a real eye opener for those whose hobby is to give a “black-eye" to the south.

I can guarantee that they wouldn’t have enough pep left to “go on a demonstration, marching or rock-throwing partv. My day begins at 4 a.m. and ends about 8 or 9 p.m., when my health permits. [ do my own housework, cooking, washing, ironing. sewing, raising fowers and a garden. In fact, for the past three weeks I have been standing in a hot kitchen, over a hot stove, canning my vegetables. Have an air conditioner? Are you kidding? Neither do | run up town when I get hot and tum on the water hydrants. nor start rioting and looting stores. Do you see any civil-rights work- ers doing this kind of work, trying to add to their income? If vou do, show ine.

They know what it is to do without a lot of the better things of life. If we could have afforded just one vacation for them, it would have been a luxury, vet neither are rioters, rock-throwers. nor lawbreakers. I would like to show some of the officials in Washington, the marchers, rioters, and all those who have their hand stretched oul for a barmivui, some of the baudicapped peu- ple who are making; it on their own and not asking Mr. No- body for anything. ... “Excuses for Riots Are Tommyrot”’ Sir. can our President, Vice President, any civil-rights worker, agitator, or whomever they may be, stand-up and look us handicaps, whose very life itself has been a struggle for most of us, in the eye and try to cram down our throats an idea as idiotic as hot weather, crowded living quarters, low income, hard working conditions and all the other ex- cuses they try to pass on to the people as being reasons for these riots we are having? I for one cannot nor will I swal- low such tommyrot. You may see us handicaps become furious when we see a gang of able-bodied men and women, whether they are black. white, purple or spotted, running up and down our nation saying I want this, gimme that. without lifting « finger to earn it, but vou will never see us in a marching demonstration line wanting something for nothing. We're too proud for that. I believe a great lesson could be learned from the handi- caps. First, faith; then courage, patience. love, kindness, long suffering, pride. competence and al] the things that make lite worthwhile. Sir, I didn’t intend to write a newspaper when I started, but IT have watched so much of these disgraceful crime waves. which are so useless, on television, and read so much about it in the papers, until I just had to say my piece. So | will close and leave an open invitation for the Pres- ident, H.H.H., Martin Luther King and his followers, the agitators or whoever it may be who thinks it takes a crime wave to make a living in this old world, to come and follow in my footsteps just one day and I'll show them what can be done if anyone has the get-up about them to try. tr co  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
