Auto Travel
Costs Soar
ATLANTA—The escalating
costs of auto travel will result
in proposed new legislation
during the Georgia General
Assembly’s next session.
Commissioner of Labor Sam
Caldwell is seeking passage of
legislation raising state em
ploye mileage allowance from
10 cents-a-mile to 12 cents.
“I know this will cost the
state money,” Caldwell said.
“But it is not fair or right to
force state employes to spend
their own money to conduct the
state’s business.”
Caldwell singled out the fact
that most persons traveling for
private firms are already

receiving 14 cents-a-mile. “It
certainly costs state employes
just as much to operate their
automobiles as it does anyone
else,” he added. “And some
federal employes are receiving
14 cents-a-mile, and there are
not many federal agencies that
pay less than 12 cents.”
The labor commissioner,
pointing to the rising costs of
automobiles, fuel, repairs and
tires, said the proposed
remedial legislation is
“urgently needed.”
“It is impossible for em
ployes to operate vehicles at 10
cents-a-mile,” Caldwell said.
“And the additional costs for all
state employes probably won’t
exceed the annual costs of
airplanes for a handful of state
officials.”
The labor commissioner said
he is compiling figures to
determine the approximate
cost to the state. He explained:
“Many of the departments use
federal funds, and although all
of it is tax money, the cost to
the state would be considerably
reduced because of federal
funds used for this purpose.
A similar bill, raising the
state employe mileage rate
from eight to 10 cents-a-mile,
was passed in 1970. Caldwell
had earlier proposed such
legislation.

said.
With the United States facing
possible “under-production” in
agriculture, producing more
food through scientific farming
is the nation’s number one
priority, says Brooks.
“Not only do nations of the
world need our food for health
and survival, but agricultural
exports also offer our greatest
hope in the balance of
payments program,” he
continued. “The industrial
sections of our economy have
not kept pace with industry in
Japan, Germany and other
nations, so it is up to
agriculture to close the gap
between our imports and ex
ports.
Brooks said that the
university’s College of
Agriculture and agricultural
experiment stations have been
in the forefront of agriculture
research and have benefited
the state by passing on the
results of research to Georgia
farmers.
“Agriculture has been in the
low income group in our
economy for a long period of
time,” said Brooks, “and
people in agriculture have been
unable to make financial
contributions to agriculture
colleges on the same scale as
contributions by other sections
of our economy to other
divisions of universities.”
He said that Gold Kist has
worked to increase the income
of farmer members by en
couraging good farm
production practices, and that
the firm’s board of directors
intends to continue this thrust.

Varicose Veins Can Get Worse
By MARION WELLS
Copley News Service
An estimated 20 million
Americans have varicose
veins and millions more may
have spider veins, swelling of
the tiny blood vessels and
capillaries which transport
blood back and forth from
your skin.
Experts warn that without
proper care, varicose veins
can get progressively worse.
They can lead to anything
from mild to severely crip
pling pain, muscle cramps
and a tired, heavy feeling in
your legs to more serious
complications such as skin ul
cers, infection or blood clots.
These blood clots can travel to
other parts of the body and
may result in partial paraly
sis or even death.
Are your legs disfigured by
“gnarled, knotty, blue-black
varicose veins?” Are they
marked by spider veins? Your
body must fight against grav
ity to send your blood up your
leg veins and back to your
heart.
When too much blood col
lects in the veins they swell,
becoming varicose. Heredi
tary weakness may be in
volved, but habit patterns and
“occupational hazards” also
play a part by placing added
strain on your legs.
Varicose veins are treated
by peripheral vascular spe
cialists, but surgery or injec
tion therapy to take care of
present varicosities doesn’t
guarantee that other veins
won’t become varicose later.
It’s up to you to minimize your
risk by attention to certain
basic health measures, espe
cially if other members of
your family have varicose
veins.
muscle action helps
pump blood upward, and good
muscle tone is essential. It’s
FALL S FLOWER
Garden chrysanthemums
bring fall color to gardens,
flowerbeds, or containers on
patios, decks or terraces. Mums
can be planted now to bring
quick color to that flower bed
or planter where annuals may
have faded. Check with your
local Extension agent for
growing tips.
GERANIUM CARE
You can help improve the
appearance of your geraniums
by grooming them a bit in
September. Cutting back long
straggly stems to lower side
branches will reduce the height
and cause plants to become
compact again after some new
growth occurs.

Degree were six teachers of

Some experts feel pro
longed periods of standing in
one place on a hard floor or
prolonged sitting may raise
your risk of varicose veins.
Working in a hot room is said
to further increase the
chances. Be sure to shift posi
tions frequently. Every so of
ten, take a brief, brisk walk to
loosen your muscles and
stimulate circulation.
To help keep blood from col
lecting in your legs while
you’re sitting or standing, Dr.
Albert Apkarian, president of
the American Board of Foot
Surgeons, suggests periodic
ally rising on your toes sever
al times to contract your leg
muscles.
If you stand on a hard floor,
bring a rubber mat, carpet
remnant or duck boards to put
under your feet. Perhaps your
employer would consider sup
plying this. It will also help to
wear shoes with thick soles.
Foot specialists suggest
working in shoes with low,
broad heels. Molded shoes can
be made especially to fit you if
you spend long hours on your
feet.
While exercise is vital to
build muscle tone, unaccus
tomed strenuous effort such
as heavy lifting and continu
ous walking when you’re not
used to it can force extra
blood into the leg veins close
