HEALTH HINTS

" Or. honk @. eiosdss. President,
National ChiYopsoesie AssoeIos;oo

The ancient Chinese employed an
insurance" approach to health.
The doctors was paid to KEEP the
patient healthy; sickness cut of
the fee. This looks reasonable, but
had many disadvantages because
of it's extreme nature. Our modern
approach is also extreme, but in
the other direction-we seek aid
only when sickness develops. Both
are illogical, for one lets disease
develop unchecked because the pa
tient SEEMS healthy; the other
does the same thing. When the
symptoms appear, in either case,
it can be too late. Chiropractic ad-
vocates the middle course: q mod
Grafton of both.
The reason is the scientific chiro-
practic principle, now widely &C.
copied. 1t contends that the health
of the body depends on the normal
function of the nervous system,
and its unchecked ability to trans
NIT the "nerve force" to every
part of the body. Our bodies,
science knows, down to the tiniest
cells which are natures building
blocks" must receive this life
force. Cut deeply near finger tip,
or sever tiny nerve, and the tip
is without feeling. Impair the flow
Of nerve force to any part of the
body and that part is adversely af-
fected, and may result in illness or
distress.
All the nerve trunk lines from
which the smaller nerves branch
are housed in the spinal column
and emerge between the vertebrae.
By treatments and manipulations
given at regular intervals, the doc
tor or chiropractic maintains the
normally of the nervous system
and prevents sickness BEFORE
1T OCCURS.

nation. In many areas they could,
without running afoul of official
criticism, apply the test severely in
the case of Negro and gloss over
it when examining a white appli-
cant.
Still other barriers are proposed
which could be used to bar Negroes
from the polls in state where, be-
cause of their lack of education, Ae
moral and social standards of many
are low.
For example, suffrage would be
forbidden a citizen who has been
convicted ca violating the moon
shine liquor laws, adultery, forni-
cation, abandonment, false swear
ing, failure to report for military
service, being a party to q COM
mon-law marriage, or being the
parent of an illegitimate child.
Secretary Of State Ben Fortson,
Jr., chairman of the committee pro-
posing the new legislation, denied
that it was aimed at any particular
race or group. But other members
have said frankly that it was their
hope to eliminate what they call

asked him.
These questions include such
simple ones as: "Who is the Pres.
ident of the United States ~; "Who
is Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Georgia ?" and other such
fundamental queries.
Under the proposed new legis'
lation, an applicant must answer
20 of 80 questions, many of which
are either so vague or call fol-
such detailed knowledge of public
affairs that university professor
of political science might well fail
the test.
For example, the potential voter
will be asked, What is a republi-
can form of government? Var
ious standard dictionaries provide
different answers. Yet to pass the
test, the voter must reply, "A gov
eminent of, by, and for the people. "
Here are a few other sample
questions, some Of which might
we'll stump a political scientist or
lawyer:
What is the definition of a fell
ony in Georgia?
What is the difference in the
Constitution of the United States
and Georgia regarding the sus.
pension of the privilege of the writ
of habeas corpus?
How may a new state be. ad-
mitted to the Union?
What is treason against the
state Of Georgia!
What are the names Of the fed.
eral district judges Of Georgia?
What are the names of the mem.
bers of the board Of education in
your county.
What does the Constitution OF
the United States provide regard.
ing the right to vote?
Boomerang Seen
Some political observers here
have wondered whether such q diff
ficult test might not prove a bom-
merang against the administration.
Under the Georgia Constitution,
Governor Griffin will not be eli
gible to succeed himself in 1860
but he appears to be backing Roger
Lawson, former chairman Of the
State Highway Commission, Is his
political heir.
The strength Of the Griffin or.
ganization lies largely in the rural
counties which, under the unit vot.
ing system, have q voting power
out Of all proportion to their popu.
lation. In the past they have beer
able to elect governors who faileC
to carry Atlanta and the Other
large Georgia cities.

The apparent answer to this pc
litical riddle is that registrars ar,

voters in Georgia is something
above 100000 according to reliable
sources.
Sponsors of new registration
laws and a constitutional amend
ment barring illiterates from the
polls deny they are aiming spe-
officially at Negro citizens. They
contend it's the only way to raise
the standards of suffrage for all.
But regardless of intent, these
measures, if passed, would stem
the rising tide of Negro registra-
ton in the state.
A special committee, of which
Attorney General Eugene Cook is
a member, has submitted an out
line of proposed legislation to stiff
fen the voting and registration
laws to Gov. Marvin Griffin to be
offered the Legislature as admin
istration measures. If actions by
the first session of the General
Assembly in January and February
of this year provide a precedent,
it may be. forecast that the Gov
ernor will obtain passage of any
bill that bears the administrations
imprimatur.
State Amendment Sought
The committee report advocates:
l. An amendment to the Consti-
tuition of Georgia which would
make literacy a requirement of suf-
irage.
2. A new series of laws provid-
ing a sitter test for voters who
cannot read or write.
Inasmuch as a constitutional a.
mendment, if proposed by the Gen.
eral Assembly, must be approved
by a majority Of the voters in the
November general election before
it becomes valid, the administration
apparently is hedging against its
possible rejection by plans for q
series Of statutory requirements.
Present Georgia law provides
that citizens applying for registra.
ton qualify by being able to reat
and write legibly a section of thu
Georgia Constitution selected by
the registrar. However, q loop
hole is left for illiterates by thu
further provision that if applicants
are unable to read "solely by rea
son Of physical inability" the ap'
plicant may qualify by interpret
ing a section Of the Constitution
which the registrar may read t
him.
The present act also provides
that when an applicant seeks vot
ing rights "solely on the basis o,
good character and his understand
ing Of the duties Of citizenship
under the republican form Of gov
ernment," he may qualify by an
