School Board.
The program was then turned
over to Mrs. Fred White and
her music classes. To begin
the program, Sandra Smith gave
an inspiring devotional• This

gram presented by the fifth,
sixth, and seventh grades.
After the program, Mrs.

CORRECTION
A personal appeartng in last
week's edition concerning Mr.
and Mrs. E. A. Caraway, the
item read "Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Caraway", Instead of the initials
E. A. Also, the Veterans Club
Care was only leased and not
sold as was reported.
CORRECTION
Due to a misunderstanding of
information received on the Ma-
loy Memorial Sing, there was
an error in the report of the
memorial lesson following the
lunch hour. Those leading
memorial lessons during the
afternoon were B. C. Maloy,
John Etheridge and Tally Cock-
croft and were dedicated to the
late W. M. Short, John NeLson,
Wiley Jackson, Charlie Bulgar,
Dave Bulger, Bill Buiger, the
Johnson and Maloy families.
PERSONAL
Friends of Miss Callie John-
ston will be interested to know
that she is recuperating at Flor-
ala Memorial Hospital following
emergency surgery Monday
night.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Richburg
of Tuscaloosa are spending sev-
eral days with their parents,

and Mrs. Vivlan Rlchburg.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT
would not be "dirty" as the
Andalusia paper indicates. She
is a beautiful young lady, well
liked and considered as among
the finest. She is from a pro-
minent family, also well liked
and respected.
George Wallace would not be
making a mistake in marrying
this beautiful young lady, in
my opinion. In fact I think it
would have been to his advan-
tage to have marriedherbefore
the election instead of "after"
the election.
What floored me was that the
"Star-News considers George
marrying this young lady as
"dirty politics'* started by Al-
bert Brewer. The neighboring
newspaper said "The memory
of the late I-~rleen B. Wallace
is cherished in every corner of
Alabama. Any talk of a second
marriage for George Wallace
did not originate among Wallace
backers."
I think I'm correct when I
say it did not originate among
politicians. That is a private
matter between George Wallace
and this young lady who I think,
would be an asset to George
Wallace and his future. He would
have done well to have married
her earlier if she would have
agreed.
George Wallace is much older
than this young lady, in fact
saw her grow up after he was
in the Alabama legislature.
THIS TIME next week we will
know who will be making the
trip to Buck's Pocket. It is my
opinion that Albert Brewer will
be elected. Some reports are
that it will be by a margin
of 45 to 50 thousand votes but
I can't see it that way. I think
it will be close but not as
close as the results of the first
primary.
Anyway, I'll be ready to make

A DISTANT COUSIN to
George Wallace says he c~n't
support him any more after
staying with him every time
until now even though he did
not like him using his ill wife
to keep control of the governor's
office.
That one thing has hurt
George Wallace in the eyes of
the people who do not appre-
ciate his running his sick wife
for governor, in 1966.
Harry WallaCe, a steelworker
for 53 years, (called Cousin
Harry by George Wallace) said
they disapproved of George
running his wife because the
law barred him from succeeding
himself. He said: "My friends
know I've been for George Wal-
lace in the past, that I still
think he is a good man, but
that I don't think we ought to
elect him governor again." He
also said: "If George don't
stop howling about the black
bloc vote, he's going to wind
up behind the eight ball. The
Negroes resent it. And a good
many white people resent it,
tOO."
And he said: '~.Jeorge made
a mistake talking about Brewer
riding into the Governor's of-
rice on Mrs. I.~rleen Wallace's
skirttai1." And he said "I wish
this year that George hadn't
brought that little girl, Lee Wal-
lace, on the platform with him,
all dressed up in a red jacket
and a white skirt like Lurleen
used to wear, and introduced
Lee as 'the next first lady of
Alabama.' I just wish he hadn't
done it."
He said that he and his late
wife were sorry to see I_arleen
make the race for Governor
but he did defend George by
saying that he did not believe
he knew she was as ill as she
was.
IF YOU WANT Gerald
Wallace for Governor another
four years then vote for his
brother George Wallace, but
when you go to Montgomery
to see the governor you know
who you will see - Gerald
Wallace. George Wallace has
actuaUy never been governor
except in name only. And Gerald
did not intend to fulfill any
promises made by George.
ETOWAH COUNTY's Judge
of Probate, Wiley Hickman, is
not supporting George Wallace
this time for the same reason
many of us are not supporting
him.
He said: "On the basis of
experience with Brewer and
Wallace administrations I'd say
that with Brewer we can expect
harmony and progress, with
Wallace we can expect more
turmoil and agitation." He also
said that "on the local level",
as far as hls community is con-
cerned, 'fit's the dlfferencebe-
tween promises and perform-
ance. When he was running for
governor and was elected eight
years ago, Wallacepromlsedus
a third bridge across the river
here. He made this promise
explicitly to get some important
committments of support. Four
years ago when he was running
his wife's campaign for gover-
nor, Wallace repeated his pro-
mise to get us that third bridge.
He never got it for us. Gover-
nor Brewer is doing what

THE FLORALA NEWS,
established 1900 and published
weekly on Thursdays, Lucile
K. Woodham McRae. Publisher
and editor. Entered st the post
office at Florala, Alabama
36442 as second class matter.
Wallace failed to do, and the
work is going ahead on the
bridge."
The same thing has happened
in Ftorala. Promises made but
never "kept. Take for instance
the road between Kinston and
Floral a. Wallace promised it
in 1958, in 1962 and in 1966
but never got around to it. Now
that road is being paved and
three miles of it has already
been blacktopped. This road will
be paved to the Coffee County
line.
ALBERT BREWER, got a
special grant-in-aid for the
construction of the base and
paving of the road, and the work
is being done. Before the first
primary an advertisement in the
county gave credit to Wallace
for the road and he does have
the credit of making a promise
which was not fulfilled and I
have an idea that road would
never have been paved if it had
not been done while Albert
Brewer is in office. That is just
one of the promises that Wallace
failed to fulfill for six and one-
half years.
And failing tofulfillpromises
he made is now hurting George
Wallace. He had the privilege
of being one of Alabama's best
governors but he actuallyende4
up being one of the worst.
