With the accent on youth, this
feature-length film deals Ima
ginatively and dramatically with
the teen-age crisis. With a
background sotting provided by
Bte 1963 Billy .CrahoJK Los An

woven Into the story pattern,
’The Peslloss Ones” Is k hard

Herb Is a film which dares to
be different, a story which will
stir Iho heart end mind, Having
seen "Tlie nestleas Ones' 1 ,you

As one reviewer said, "Horo
Is aplcturo that tolls too world

This answer will satisfy, chal

"The new Athens Area-Vo-
catlonat - Technical School
should help to correct some ol
those deficiencies, 11 according
to a Manufacturing Activity and
Cyclical Stability study releas
ed this week, Tho study is one
of ten Economic Base and Pop
ulation Study reports sponsor
ed by the Northeast Georgia
Area Planning and Develop
ment Commission. Even with
the new Vocational-Technical
School, the area is al least 25
years behind the times In pro
viding adequate vocational
training, according to Indus
trialists in tlie area, From
comments received through tho
survey of Industrialists In this
area, vocational training has not
kept pace with in-coming Indus
trial development which has re
placed a declining agricultural
employment in the Northeast
Georgia area.
According to Donald J. Bloe-
mer, Chairman of NGAPDC,
"Of all the reports hi this
series, the Manufacturing Ac
tivity and CYCLICAL Stability
report Is perhaps the most
Important to readers in and
outside the Planning Commis
sion’s area. This report takes
a measured look at Industrial
trends in Northeast Georgia,
collectively and county-by
county. Rather than being mere
ly a superficial review of the
favorable aspects, it does the
job of separating the strength
of weakness of industriaigrowfh
in our counties."
According to Industrialists
responding to a questionnaire
submitted by the Manufacturing
Activity report team, ‘ By far
the most frequently mentioned
liability in this area to manu
facturing firms was the lack of
trained and experienced labor.
The shortage of female labor
is particularly acute. Garment
plants In Northeast Georgia
have been hampered by their
inability to find suitable female
labor, The supply of trained
secretaries In the area is also
reported to be sparse,
"Turning to male labor, the
lack of skilled mechanists and
metal workers, tool and die
workers, and electronics work
ers" was noted. Some compan
ies have tried te train their wor
kers, but apparently have not
been particularly successful
There is a definite need for ex
panding the Athens Area Voca
tional-Technical School. Sev
eral complaints wore register
ed about the level of area educa
tion. Deflnclenees in math and
English woreespeciallynoted.'
About lialf of tlie responding
firms te the NGAPDC survey
was concerned with tho fact
that the quality of the local la
bor supply was not adequate.
About 40 percent stated tho
quantity was inadequate. Among
the quality shortcomings were
deficient formal education and
lack of ability, ] aC K of fiW j l8
and training, rapid turnover,
Instability, and lack ot Interest
of workers. Insofar as quantity
Is concerned, the chief draw
back mentioned In the survey
was tho shortage of white fe
male workers. This reflects
a major problem since 57
percent of those employed by
manufacturers | n the nlne-
icounty area arc Tomato,
I The apparentindustry has ap
proximately g? percent female
employment. In textiles mill
products, and food and kindred
products, the female percentage
its from 42 to 45 porcent,
I Adequate labor supply has a
definite bearing on the indus
trial future of the Northeast
Georgia Area, According to the
Manufacturing activity report,
13 companies planned to tako
additions to their capacity dur
ing 196G or 1967 and eight oth
ers were planning to expand
during the 1968-1970 period.
Of the expanding firms 11 will
need more labor as a result of
the expansion, Six firms expect
to seek additional space at their
present locations. During 1966-
1970 modernization will take
place in 18 firms in the area, ac
cording to the report In most
cases the modernization will
reflect some automation, there
by reducing labor require
ments. However, there will still
