PURE MINERAL WATER IS IDEAL to set your make
up. It gives your skin a soft, translucent look and delays
the inevitable shine. After you’ve applied your make-up,
dampen a cotton square with mineral water and press it,
never rub, gently over your face. Down through the ages
great beauties visited mineral spas to wash their skins,
such as Evian in France and Fiuggi in Italy. If you don’t
care to travel that far, in America you have Mountain
Valley, Ark.

Spalding County
Representative
I have had many telephone
calls and personal visits from
various individuals asking just
what is going on at “our”
station. Since there has been so
many inquiries, It occurs to
me that hundreds of other of
our citizens would like to have
some information on the stat
us of this excellent research
center and certainly one of the
finest assets to our community
among us.
The Experiment Station has
probably the third largest pay
roll in the county. As a com
parison, it is an industry which
likely employs an equivalent of
300 persons each having an an
nual salary of $5,000. Other
cash flow into the economic
life runs into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars; I ’ estimate
that the cash flow from the
Station is almost $2,000,000
thus generating a turn over in
the economy of Griffin of a
sum approaching 10 million
dollars.
I estimate the number of per
sons employed at the Station
at all levels is approximately
140 individuals. These people
own homes, pay taxes, buy
goods and services, wives teach
in the public schools, contri
bute their time and money to
our churches and make other
virtually unlimited contribu
tions toward making Griffin the
fine city it Is.
The economic factors alsme
are just a part of the total
asset to Spalding County. The
cultural benefit to our area
made by the high level of edu
cation of the staff members is
without parallel; certainly no
single group in our community
collectively mean so much to
every facet of business, social
and cultural life of Griffin.
Each has become a substantial
citizen and Griffin is fortunate
to have this outstanding group
and it is a better community
because of them. Historically
this has been true, actually for
more than 60 years.
This very fine asset is in ser
ious jeopardy as I see it. With
in a comparatively short time
we can lose this immense asset
to our community. It is of
course of Immense proportions
an advantage to Griffin, how
ever, Its research contributions
in every agricultural activity
have made successful Impact
on all Georgia farm operations
as well as farming throughout
the United States. As the Na
tion’s population continues its
upward spiral, the Experiment
Station research becomes all
the more Important. In every
field of sustaining life in pro
viding food to the ever increas
ing demand there is a constant
challenge to agricultural re
search.
If present plans are consu
mated as directed by a Resolu
tion of the Board of Regents of
the University System remov
ing control of Federal and State
money and transferring control
to the Directors of Experiment
Stations at the University In
Athens, then it is my view that
the Station as we know and
have it today will be a mere
skeleton operation in a rela
tively short time. The great
money flow into Griffin and
Spalding County will cease to
a mere trickle.
Let me give you just a brief
background of the local Station.
It was established in Experi
ment in 1888 by Federal and
State law. Local citizens contri
buted $4,000 to help buy lands
and buildings to start the young
new station on its way. The
first staff consisted of three
persons with a total annual bud
get of $15,000. The profession-

Station Situation
al staff has now grown to 83 <
persons, 45 having the PhD, the 1
highest academic degree ob- I
tainable, and 39 with the Mast
er’s Degree and with a current
budget for local use of nearly (
TWO MILLION DOLLARS. j
Federal and State laws for i
nearly sixty years directed that I
the director of the local Ex- 1
periment Station, be the reci- 1
pient and custodian of all Ex- 1
periment Station funds to be ’
used only for research. It has 1
been confirmed that for every 1
dollar spent in local research I
more than $70.00 has been re- '
ceived in agricultural benefit. 1
There have been efforts all J
over the years to gain control
of the local facility so that the ,
research projects and staff ‘
would be centralized at the Uni- ‘
versity in Athens. These efforts ,
have been successfully defeat- J
ed by the hard work of Griffin .
citizens backing those in posi- ■
tlons to exercise some influence j
at the State and Federal level. r
This new effort to gain finan- ,
clal control of these funds has j
received greater support than ;
any previous attempts. The j
Board of Regents of the Univer
sity System was given power in ,
a State law of 1933 to exercise ,
complete control of all Sta- ,
tlons in Georgia. The Board has ■
not exercised its vested power j
to effect a change of control of
funds until recommendations in
recent months brought about
their Resolution in September ,
1967 to transfer control of all j
funds to the University’s Agri- j
cultural Experiment Stations' ■
Director in Athens. I do wish .
at this point to state that mem- i
bers of the Board of Regents of ,
the University are honorable i
men, men in high places of ,
business and professional life 1
in the State, who are making j
a great contribution to the State <
in higher learning. Their Reso- -
lution was in good faith, with- i
out question and certainly I do
not question the integrity of any
Board member. I, personally, 1
feel that the Board was unaware •
of the impact of the Resolution 1
as recommended to them by *
those in high authority. I do '
believe that some of those with 1
University authority desire to 1
gain complete control of the 1
local Stations, and they seized 1
upon an opportunity generated ’
by recent communications from 1
Washington. These communica- '
tions did not direct a change in '
fund custodian, or recipient
but directed that there be some 1
clarification in certain areas of :
responsibility in certifications
of disbursement of Federal 1
funds.
Mr. Jim Owen of Griffin is a
member of the Board of Re
gents; he did not vote for the
Resolution and objected to its
passage. Mr. Owen has subse
quently made a motion that the
Board rescind the September
Resolution and restore the
original Resolution keeping
control of funds under the local
director.
A thorough study of the situa
tion was made by the spaldlng
County delegation to the Gen- :
eral Assembly, Senator Robert
Smalley, Quimby Melton, Jr.,
and I. Mr. Owen arranged for us :
to appear before the Board of
Regents at its meeting Tuesday,
November 6; your legislators
appeared before the Board pre
senting the facts during a two
hour period, we were cordially
received, and I sincerely believe
that new light was reflected
upon the subject and that some
members of the Board upon
learning of the additional facts
will now support our position.
Mr. Owen’s motion to rescind
the present Resolution policy
and revert to the old one is to
be taken up and voted upon at
the next Regent meeting De
cember 13.
Congressman Jack Flynt has
been vitally interested in the
Local Station over the years;
he is making every effort pos
sible to try and have the Board
rescind the September Resolu
tion. There is no individual of
fering greater support than

Monthly Meet
The YWA's of East Griffin Bar
ptist Church met at the church
for the November meeting. Pre
sident, Sally Farlow, presided.
Plans for a Christmas party
were made. A community mis
sion project was discussed and
planned.
"Which Way The Caribbean"
was the program topic. The
prayer calendar was read by
Mrs. Irene Farlow.
Those present were Sally
Farlow, Patricia Gaddy, Mary

Mrs. Irene Farlow.
The meeting was closed with
prayer by Joyce Grant.
Congressman Flynt; we are
fortunate to have his strong
backing and influence.
I have been assured that
there is no plan by the Direc
tor of Stations in Athens to
move the facility to the Univer
sity or anywhere. I feel that this
is Indeed true; I have no im
mediate concern that there are
plans to physically move the
Station. I firmly believe, how
ever, that if control of funds
are transferred from Experi
ment to the Director of Sta
tions at Athens, that there will
be an underlying harassment of
the local station staff which
will create complete havoc and
devastation on the morale of
the research scientist. Favor
able climate for quality re
search will virtually come to an
end. I believe it to be the de
sire of some at the University to
control research development in
Experiment with a view to hav
ing most of the substantive
r&earch done at the University.
There will be, in my opinion,
such an unfriendly atmosphere
between the University and the
Experiment Station, that the
highly skilled research scient
ists now at Experiment will
move on to other States where
the research climate and co
operation is conducive to qual
ity research. Several of the
members of the staff are al
ready in process of seeking oth
er positions in research facili
ties and not in Georgia. These
outstanding research people will
be lost not only to the Universi
ty System, but to Georgia.
There are many members of the
staff at Experiment who are
world renowned in their re
search fields; it is imperative
that they work in a harmonious
and desirable climate, otherwise
they will not tolerate harass
ments or lack of support in
every area. They, as you and I,
would move on to more favor
able circumstances.
The morale of the Experi
ment staff in my view is at a
low ebb in view of the imple
mentation of new policies not
conducive to a good research
climate. These persons are a
great asset to the Griffin area
and Georgia; we cannot afford
to lose these highly skilled and
trained scientists. However, and
unless there is a change in ad
minstrative policies, these
outstanding people will leave.
I could not be more convinced.
Although there is no move
afoot to abandon the Experi
ment facility, I sincerely believe
that the station will dry up to
a mere skeleton since the brains
and talents of these scientists
may move on to other locations..
In recent months some of the
finest and most capable scient
ists have been transferred to
the University apparently to
teach and do research; a few,
I understand, made the request
for the transfer, while others
were essentially drafted.
The entire matter is to be re
solved by the Board of Regents
at their December meeting to
decide whether to rescind the
present plans as requested by
Mr. Jim Owen of Griffin. I am
most hopeful that we may se
cure the help of those in high
places to bring to the Board’s
attention the complete story of
what the Resolution will do to
the Georgia Experiment Station
at Experiment.
We are doing everything we
possibly can to remedy this most
unhappy situation; I ask you to
give us support in your prayers
to avoid the eventual extinction
of the Experiment Station from
the many apparent intimida
tions. You may rest assured
that no stone will be left un
turned to reestablish the Station
at Experiment under former
policies.
These views are my own as I
see the picture. They are not
necessarily the views of anyone
other than myself. I think you
are entitled to see the picture
of the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion situation, for aa your rep
resentative I feel responsible to
convey my thoughts to you.
