printing a map of the 111th District with each of the new precincts outlined. If you had trouble voting during the primary, make sure you know where you're supposed to vote. If you still have some questions, call the Fulton County Elections Supervisors at 572-2646.

I spent some time away from Atlanta recently. I campaigned in New York for Paul O'Dwyer who is running for the United States Senate; in Indianapolis, Indiana for several Negroes who are running for the Indiana House of Representatives and the Indiana Senate, and in Detroit for three Negroes who are running for the Detroit City Council. I have also been to Macon, Georgia to campaign for two Negroes, one running for the Bibb County Board of Commissioners and one for the Georgia Senate.

There will be at least two other Negroes in the Georgia legislature next year...one is Mr. James Dean of DeKalb County, and the other is Bobby Hill, a young lawyer from Savannah. We are sure they will be a great deal of help to all of us from the Atlanta area.

The City of Atanta has redrawn some of the lines for the eight wards in the city. Although I haven't seen the plan yet, I cannot believe that it will be as good as the one that Representative Grace Hamilton introduced in the legislature last year. I think all of the Negro legislators from Atlanta will take a close look at this plan, and will change it to provide full representation for Atlanta's Negro citizens is that is needed.

Please remember, this newsletter is printed for you...the voters and the citizens of 111th District. In past newsletters, we have told about job opportunities, told when and where and how you can get registered to vote, given telephone numbers for the Legal Aid Society and advantages for older people, we have included some cartoons and some recommendations for candidates running in the primary elections. We hope you will continue to let us know what you'd like to see more of, and that you will keep on sending me names and addresses of those in our District who woudl like to see it also.

We also hope that you will pass your copy to a friend or neighbor. This is my way of communicating to the people who selected me to represent them.
