I realize that this stand has in-
curred the opposition of some
powerful gambling interests, but
Isimply do not see how legalized
gambling, everything considered,
can be in the best interests of
the people of this state.
Congressional redisricting will
be one of the next session's most
pressing problems. In the last
session I served as vice-chair-
man of the Committee on Con-
gressional and Legislative Dis-
tricts.
Appointed as chairman of a
sub-committee to study the prob-
lem, I authored a bill for con-
gressional redistricting which
would have preserved the rural
character of our own 7th Dis-
trict.
I believe that the final act of
redistricting should be held clase
islative districts were redrawn j to the provisions of that bill. I
and Cherokee and Anderson will continue to work to see that
j Counties were combined into the j ¡t jopg
present 16th District.
I am presently representing
these two counties after being
re-elected in 1962 without opposi-
tion.
The last session of the Legis-
lature, for the first time in many
years, completed its business
without the unnecessary expense
of special sessions.
This can continue to be done
as long as members of the legis-
lature will face up squarely to
issues as they present themselves.

It has been my good fortune to
j serve on other top committees
in the legislature, including State
Affairs, Education, Public Health
and Conservation and Reclama-
tion.
I have served as chairman of
the Contingent Expense Commit-
tee, vice-chairman of Interstate
Cooperation, and vice-chairman
of an interim committee on State
Lands.
The experience I have gained
on these important committees
The board of directors of the
Cherokee County Livestockmen's
Association met Tuesday night
of last week for a called busi-
ness session.
Jack Stone, president of the
association, read two telegrams
from Senator John Tower con-
cerning the resolution opposing
the meat imports that the assoc-
iation mailed to several congress-
men and other government of-
ficials following their February
meeting. According to Mr. Stone,
Senator Tower informed him that
the resolution had been heard by
the Senate Finance Committee.

pondence is continuing concern-
ing the matter.

man, A. N. Walley, Jr., present-
ed the proposed programs for
the remainder of the year for
the association, and these were
