Child Support Payments Up
A pilot project designed to
recover support payments from
nonpaying parents of children
receiving state aid to families
with dependent children
(AFDC) is already proving its
cost savings effectiveness,
Commissioner Richard Harden
of the Georgia Department of
Human Resources said recently
in Atlanta.

U.S. Savings Bond
Goal Nearly Met
Roy R. Otwell Sr., Chairman
of the Forsyth County U.S.
Savings Bonds Committee,
reports that the citizens of
Forsyth County placed $6,585 in
Savings Bonds during
December for a total of $122,267
for 1972. The county achieved 98
percent of the projected 1972
goal of $125,000.
Marvin L. Summer, State
Director for Georgia, an
nounced that Georgians con
tinued their strong purchases
by placing $6,694,584 in Savings
Bonds during December for a
total of $83,224,818 for 1972 an
11 percent increase over 1971.
These figures reflect a 27-year
record.
Nationally, December
Savings Bonds sales (at issue
price) amounted to $450 million.
During 1972 Americans placed
$6,236 million (at issue price) in
Savings Bonds—a 14 percent
increase over same period for
1971. The cash value of Series E
and H Bonds and Freedom
Shares outstanding reached an
all-time high of $58.0 billion.
Sales continue to run ahead of

Before joining the Sheriff’s
Department in January, Olliff
had been a Cumming policeman
for 18 months. He graduated
from the Georgia Police
Academy in Atlanta and is a
qualified toximeter (alcohol

The new deputy said he en
joys law enforcement work and
plans to make a career of it.

where about 25 percent of the
county’s AFDC cases are
handled—the program has
reported collections to date of
$8,992.
Harden said that $6,047 of the
total collected has gone to
participating families in the
form of new money to which
they had no previous access.
redemptions.
County Chairman Otwell
pointed out an unusual op
portunity is provided this year
for citizens to convert their 1972
Federal income-tax refund
checks into Savings Bonds. This
could be the largest tax-refund
year in history. A special Bond
Application Form is being
mailed, with instructions, along
with each tax-refund check. An
excellent way to save a portion
of our tax-refund.
Veteran Drivers
Veterans,' who hold Georgia
drivers license, must take an
eye test in the month of their
birthday this year but will be
allowed to keep their old
veteran’s licenses, if they wish.
This was the word from
Georgia Public Safety Com
missioner Ray Pope who said
there had been some confusion
on the part of veterans about
what happened to their old
licenses when they were
required to have a new license
made.
High Food Prices Hurting Schools
Increasing food prices, wheat
processing slowdowns and
President Nixon’s proposed FY
74 budget are causing concern
among managers of Georgia’s
public school lunch program,
according to Josephine Martin,
Georgia Department of
Education school food service
administrator. Miss Martin
testified Monday, February 5,
tie fore the Senate Agriculture
and Forestry Committee in
Washington, D.C.
In the past, the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (USDA)
has made bulk purchases of
food commodities which were
donated to the lunch program in
late summer to subsidize meal
costs for students who buy
school lunches, she explained.

Pirkle
SAN ANTONIO—Airman
Glendon R. Pirkle, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Pirkle of Rt. 3,
Cumming, Ga., has been
assigned to Sheppard AFB,
Tex., after completing Air
Force basic training.
During his six weeks at the
Air "fi-aining Command’s
Lackland AFB, Tex., he studied
the Air Force mission,
organization and customs and
received special instruction in
human relations.
The airman has been
assigned to the Technical
Training Center at Sheppard for
specialized training in the
communications field.
The remaining $2,945, he went
on to explain, has reimbursed
the AFDC fund for payments
made for periods of time
covered by the collections—a
clear savings to the state.
“This program, after only
five full months of operation,
seems to suggest a practical
and humane way of sub
stantially reducing assistance
payments to AFDC families as
well as enhancing their overall
financial situation,” Harden
stressed.
“Not only are needy families
benefiting from additional
income, but further program
savings are being effected,” the
commissioner continued. “Case
terminations and reductions in
payments in the amount of
$3,330 have resulted from direct
payments now being made to
clients—a pay-out reduction not
reflected in the collection
figure. This sum—s 3,330 —plus
the $2,945 reimbursement of
AFDC funds amounts to a total
savings of $6,275,” he added.
The Human Resources chief
said that the program, which is
based on voluntary par
ticipation on the part of AFC
recipients and nonpaying
parents, may eventually be
expanded to cover the entire
state.

adjustment was necessary
because the 1972-73 basic
allocation to schools of suc Vi
staples as flour, butter and non
fat dry milk was not received
until October 2. So bread,
cookies and cakes, usually
liaked by the schools, had to be
purchased. Purchased bread
averages three cents per ser
ving, compared to school liaked
bread using donated foods at
half a cent per serving.
As explanation, the USDA
indicated mills failed to fulfill/
contractual agreements, and
schools were left the choice of
operating a deficit program,
increasing the cost per meal, or
requesting higher reim
bursement rates for free meals.
Another crunch is being felt

Martin, “The USDA specifies
that lunch program par

two ounces of meat or meat
alternate in elementary schools
and three ounces in high schools
each day. However, it appears

She explained that South
Georgia schools pay 81 cents a
pound for institutional ground
beef, or 14.5 cents per serving.
“Because the USDA can make
larger purchases, it was quoted
72 cents per pound, but decided
the price was too expensive arid
didn’t buy. In 1971-72 it pur

“Schools need assurance that
foods will be delivered on time
nr, where it is not possible for
the USDA to purchase foods
because of the total market
situation at a certain point, such
as February 1, that a cash
payment be made in lieu of
foods,” Miss Martin said.
She suggested since the USDA
is behind in its purchase of
school lunch foods that $6.1
million which has been written
into the President’s new budget
lie used to increase nonfood
assistance levels to full
authorization.
(In Georgia this year an
average of 856,729 students
participate daily in the school
lunch program.)
In addition, you can get a completely
rebuilt color tube during the next three
years—for a prorated sum that's spelled
