"We expect a tremendous response, an overflow attendance, for the problem of getting food to the poor of Georgia is of such magnitude that it will take the combined power of local and State leaders to overcome it," Burson said. The conference will be held in the Chamber of the Georgia House of Representatives and is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a. m. with a message from Governor Lester G. Maddox. The conference will present a series of speakers who have either dealt with the problem of the unfed have been instrumental to assisting county oficials in organizing local food distribution programs.

Canadian Exhibit Planned For Fair The Canadian Government will be represented this year for the first time in the history of the Mid-South Fair. The industrial giant to the north will have an extensive exhibit in the Shelby County Building and is sending a staff of experts on Canadian affairs to supply first-hand information about the country. The first 300 visitors to the exhibit every day of the Fair, which begins September 22 and runs through September 30, will receive mementos and souvenirs shipped specially from Canada for the Fair. Canada is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It may come as a surprise to Americans to learn that almost 200,000 persons have emigrated to Canada since 194, many from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Last year alone, 17,514 — a 1 per cent increase over the previous year — moved to Canada from the United States. Of that number last year, 215 persons from Tennessee and neighboring states went to Canada to live, including school teachers, mechanics, salesmen, merchants doctors, dentists, engineers, farmers and newspapermen. Jacksonville Told AFL All-Star Game Cost $105,000 Natty American Football League Commissioner Milt Woodard has told Gov. Claude Kirk and city officials it would cost at least $103,000 to get the AFL All-Star game in the Gator Bowl next January. "You're the best candidate in the Eastern time zone," Woodard told the group in a hotel-top spa, "but it will cost you $103,000 for league expenses plus your promotional expenses." He estimated that sponsors of the game would "break even" on expenses with a crowd of between 25,000 and 30,000. Woodard also tossed in the names of Oakland, where the game was played last year, San Diego and Houston as possible sites for the all-star clash. But he told Kirk, who jetted here from Tallahassee for the meeting, that the AFL would rather have the game played in the east at 1:30 p.m. EST. This way, Woodard explained, it would not conflict on television with the National Football League's Pro-Bowl game to be televised from Los Angeles Jan. 21 at 4:30 p.m. EST. Otherwise the date would probably be changed to Jan. 20.

Negroes Request President To Call For New Elections In Mississippi Demo Runoff Charles Evers, state head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), wired the chief executive that since the government had seen fit to send election observers to Vietnam "we would like to advise you that it would mean much more to America if you would use your influence and call for new elections in Mississippi." Evers charged that some whites voted more than once in some races, that "Klan-type" whites kept going in and out of some polling places and that "handpicked" Negro election workers were afraid to really do their job and help illiterates. Conservative Congressman John Bell Williams easily defeated State Treasurer William Winter in the runoff for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. With returns almost complete, Williams held a 59,000 vote edge. The returns also showed that Negroes crossed color lines to support white candidates and bring about the defeat of Negro candidates, all of them seeking offices at the local or county level. Williams planned to rest several days before resuming his campaigning for the Nov. 7 general election against Republican Rubel Phillips, a Jackson attorney who ran a strong race as the GOP nominee for governor in 1963. Phillips' supporters said he would be even stronger this year, and Williams noted in his victory statement that the "battle is not over." In years past, Democratic nomination for governor has been tantamount to election, and although Williams still is the oddson favorite, Phillips is expected to wage an all-out campaign and an upset could result. Negroes cracked the ice in Mississippi's traditional white county governing structure to the first primary Aug. 8 with an unprecedented 15 members of their race winning various county offices. Most of the victories resulted when Negroes managed to poll a majority with the rest of the vote divided between two or more white candidates. In the head-to-head runoffs, all 22 Negro candidates lost. Evers said the problem was that there still were many Negroes "who don't feel that a Negro can do the job." However, he also charged that in a couple of close races alleged election irregularities were involved. All 22 Negroes Seeking Local Offices Meet Defeat Charles Evers, state head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), wired the chief executive that since the government had seen fit to send election observers to Vietnam "we would like to advise you that it would mean much more to America if you would use your influence and call for new elections in Mississippi."

BRIEF COMMENT Envy and jealousy eat out one's soul and warp one personality. If you do not advertise, you don't know the business you're missing. Both Williams and Johnson pass with uncanny acurracy, and both enjoy running the ball with out fear of contact. So the Jaguars, conceded to be two quarterbacks better than the rest of the league, hos old stars coming in from all directions. Set-backs Marcus Alle. Willie Crear and Lewis Porter, and tall-backs James. Little, Johnny Hardge and Mitchell queen, all of proven mettle from lost season, has observers classing Southern's 1967 offense as "Flaming." Defensively, Southern caste a long shadow. A good starting point in exploring Jaguar defense in defensive end where All - American Alfred Beauchamp and All-American candidate Richard Neal stack up as one of the best end teams in the country this year. Beauchamp, a giant of a man at 6'4" and 245 pounds, is a rough and tumble player who likes it best when he's in the thick of the action, and his speed and dianostic abilities usually get him where the action is quick. He is a senior, and rated as four star by professional talent scouts. Neal is a 6-4 Shrevenorter who prepped at Booker T. Washington High School. He scales 235 pounds, is rugged and quick, the tougher the going the more he enjoys it Neal artistically, sheds blockers to crash in on enemy ball carriers, consequently, he comes up habitly with the big plays on defense. Southern's outstanding collection of defensive talent also includes tackles Mike Washington 235 pound Alexandria terror a junior 265 pound Joseph Zenon a junior also who thrives on contact William Franklin a 248 pound senior 20 pound junior. James Gregory and sophomore Alden Ohe a solid 238 pounder. Heading out a stellar guard corps is co-captain John Williams of Menden. Also included are Herman Taylor, Welton-Homan, Artis Cartell and Burke Reed, all veterans.
