As ive enter the decade of the 1970's, once again the initial year seems destined to be ham pered by the ‘Trcshman Jinx' which tripped four out of. five of the years which ushered in the past five decades..

CRUCIAL Domestic social, labor, and monetary' problems all must be met head-on during the coming year. But in many re- .spects, the manner in whichthe 'problems are attacked will de- [jend on equally pressing world problems which have military significance. At this juncture, the staff of Babson's Reports is of the opinion that the cauldron of world prob lems, will continue to boil but ihat the many festering of wounds can be kept localized to a sufficient degree to avert a worldwide conflagration. INFLATION - PUBLIC ENEMY - NUMBER one Presuming, therefore, that American military commit ment in Vietnam can gradua- ly be toned down, and that none of the other smoldering trou ble spots erupt into full-scale fighting, the primary task in 1SF70 once again will be to curb inflationary pressures. With its tremendous momentum, there is still little hope that the in flationary spiral can be brought to a standstill in 1970. Less Feverish Inflationary Pressures - Once strongly en- trenched, inflation is hard to contain. The task is rendered all lire more difficult by the so cial problems which must be tackled at the same hme. The Ad-ninistratton and the mone tary authorities, thus, must tread a narrow path, lest 7pa lou s ant£-lnfl atl011 . ( Tret cream an econom.^ verkill”.

Many major arid secondary la bor contracts expire within the next twelve months. The most crucial are the labor talks in volving -the Teamsters and the Auto Workers, If the trucking industry is paralyzed by a na tionwide strike next spring, raw materials and finished goods cannot be transported.

Carl E, Sanders called for an "imag inative, bold new program (of highway system develop ment) to supplement the in terstate program” now near ing completion. He, : pointed to the tremendous increase in number of vehicles on the nation's highways (now better than 100-million or 67 per cent more than were in use in 1956). And he cited Ge orgia’s now accelerating changeover from a predomin ately rural state to one which is fast becomeing predominately' urban complex to support his contention that that* bold new program must be developed and implemented without delay. Sanders' remarks came in an address to the sixth lumbal Di rectors Dinner of Georgia As phalt. Riant Mix Institute. Iiis was the principal address of the evening and was 'made to some 225 GAPMI members and guests and their wives. The din ner, climaxing the annual meet ing of GAPMI, was held ai the Rivera of Atlanta Motor Hotel. (See pictures above.) Sanders cited the importance of the highway as an Instrument of economic growth.” He recalled that a we 11-developed network of highways has been cited as"the most important prerequisite" by the study repbrt which served as the blueprint for redevelopment of the nation's Appalachia regfen, the federal program now underway. ■ * He said, "I want to seb us .develop the re^tation of a state. con serous ofw^pt it takes," to get the job$oj& and willing to invest the %ffort needed fe get J i d^ne.'’ : '"J Funeral At East Side For John Henry Simpson, 62, of 311 Richardson Street, Win der, passed away at the Win der-Barrow Hospital on De cember 26, 1969.

New Properly Tux Filing i Regulations Not every Georgia property owner will be required to file a county ad valorem property tax return tills year. Due to a 1969 legislative a- mendment to the state’s pro perty tax laws, the only tax payers who must file in 1970 are those who have made a change in their property states during 1969. Property changes include a new residence, home improvements, and additional Acquired property. Taxpayers who lave made no changes in their property sta tus during 1969 will be asses sed by their respective counties based upon the property shown on their 1969 return. Essentially the new act says teat if a property owner is re turning for taxes tliis year the same property that he returned for taxes last year, he will be deemed to have returned teat same property this year, and it will not be necessary for him to file a return. However, if the property owner lute moved since he last filed a return, or has made improvements upon the property returned the last year, then lie must file a re turn for the current year. The new property aetdoes not affect the ad valorem property taxes on automobiles. Neither does it affect filing require ments for municipal taxation. Hnder the new. act persons who are eligible for the re gular $2,0OD exemption will not have to make annual appli cation. However, those taxpay ers who are eligible, for the $4,000 homestead exemption, must make annual application at their county tax office. "Convenience to Georgia, taxpayers hopefully will be the effect of tee now filing act," according to Property, Tax Di rector Tom Gangster. County ad valorem property tax returns based upon pro perty owned on January 1 are filed by April 1 in most coun tries at county tax offices. Co unties send collection notices to their taxpayers during the fall months. Property tax. forms are available to taxpayers from co unty tax offices..

In it are detailed, for each of the 3,000 odd- counties in the United Stales, the revenues, ex penditures and outstanding debt incurred in connection with lo cal government operations. Indicated is how much is spent in each area, per resi dent, for schools,roads, police and fire protection, health, wel fare, housing, sanitation,gen eral administration and the many other functions perform ed. In Barrow County, the figure? show, the cost of such services amounted to $170 in tee year for every man, woman and child in the country. 'Hie comparable cost, in ot- these came year, as. against $39.S billion in 1962. The rising cost of govern ment has been a problem in almost every locality' with pub lic payrolls, tee price of mat erials, the demand for services and the cost of borrowing all Community Meeting Set For January 5 On Mental Health Relatives Of Mrs. lose Lives In Fire News reached Winder this week of the tragic death of Mr. and Mrs. Latimer McCiintock, who lost teeir Jives when their home was destroyed by fire on Christmas night, December 25, Charlotte.
