Southeast
Employment
Decreases
ATLANTA (UPI) - There’s
been a significant slowdown in
the growth of nonfarm employ
ment in the Southeast, labor ex
perts have reported.
The latest change shows an
increase of less than one-tenth
of the gain of 58,100 recorded
for the region during the same
period in 1969.
But even with the slowdown
in growth, the regional total of
10,574,500 nonfarm jobs was
nearly a quarter of a million
higher than the March 1969 lev
el. Nearly two- thirds of the
growth occurred in two indus
tries—trade establishments and
government.
The report by the U.S. De
partment of Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics was for the re
gion’s eight states: Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
the Carolinas, Tennessee and
Virginia.
Georgia showed the largest
gain in nonfarm employment
between March 1969 and March
1970 with 5,700 jobs while Ala
bama and Florida both showed
losses. The other five states had
gains ranging from 500 in Ten
nessee to 4,200 in Virginia.
The report said nonmanufac
turing industries in the region

Political Race Lineups
To Begin Taking Shape
ATLANTA (UPI) — The line
ups for this year’s political
races should begin taking
shape next week with the open
ing of qualifying for the Demo
cratic primary.
At least five potential candi
dates from both parties have
sent out word to newsmen that
they will have announcements
regarding their “future political
plans.”
Many of the candidates are
already known and there are
few surprises expected.
The Republicans have already
opened qualifying but so far no
candidates have showed up to
plunk down their entrance fees
for statewide races. This raises
no eyebrows because the Re
publicans have until June 10, as
will the Democrats, to qualify.
But a number of would-be of
fice seekers have scheduled
news conferences next week to
tell their plans.
The list includes State Rep.
Charles Jones of Hinesville who
had been hitting the campaign
trail in quest of the lieutenant
governorship, State Welfare Di
rector Bill Burson, who last
week announced his resignation
and is expected to run for state
treasurer, and the present state
treasurer, Jack Ray who
switched from the Democratic
Party to the Republican Party
in 1968.
Also announcing they will dis
close their plans were Agricul
ture Commissioner Tommy Ir
vin and Lt. Gov. George T.
Smith. Both are expected to
seek re-election.

Irvin said he would talk about
his plans on Tuesday and Smith
planned a press breakfast at a
downtown hotel Thursday to
make it official.
An array of gubernatorial
candidates have already an
nounced and now all they have
to do is to put their money
where their mouths are and
qualify. They are Democrats

Segal said that “those who

On other matters, Segal said

WHY Deal With
A REALTOR?
Not all real estate brokers are Realtors. To become a Real
tor you must first be a broker with high ideals and be voted
on by your local Real Estate Board. After becoming a Real
tor you must, at all times, observe and abide by the Code
of Ethics of the National Association of Real Estate Boards,
and to govern real estate practices of members of the Board.
It is the public’s assurance that the Realtor is of good busi
ness character and is capable of properly caring for real
estate matters entrusted to him.
Only the following real estate firms are members of the
