ATLANTA
Meyor Ivan Allen understands the true meaning of "emergency"

es being a time to emerge. Every emergency is like a knife ~— if it is
picked up by the blade it will hurt, but if the "knife" is picked up by
the handle it can be of service. The mayor has axstrong hand =— guided
by an intelligent head and an understanding heart — that hes picked up
Atlanta's current racial emergency by the handle to serve the entire city.
Ivan Allen combines from Margaret Mitbhell's "Gone With The

Wind” characters the dignified refinement of an Ashley Wilkes with the
manly courage of a Rhett Butler. From a fuller quotation by Ernest Dowson,
including Miss Mitehell's famous title, is:

"I have fergot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,

Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng."
Mayor Allen has flung roses of words and deeds -- fragant of law and
order — in the past week's throng. He hes the respect and admiration
of all Atlenta citizens. Atlenta now is no Scarlett O'Hara who can
afforn|.to put off thinking abovt problems until tomorrow. The mayor is
truly leading the way on a today basis.

In any praise of Atlenta, Mayor Allen is the mejor asset!
