For the past 10 weeks, ini tial claims statewide have been averaging about 15,000. At this same time last year, initial claims stood at 9,266. Although claims continue to rise and payouts continue to increase, Caldwell does not anticipate an increase in employer taxes. Caldwell repeated the fact that, “Georgia employers will not face an increase in employment taxes due to the present recession. Many other states are rapidly de pleting their trust funds, while others are still in debt from the last recession. We are fortunate here in Georgia that we do not have that problem.” The trust fund is the money used to pay unem ployment insurance and is paid by employers in the form of taxes. “Georgia has one of the most solvent trust funds in the nation,” Caldwell pointed out. It stands at $478.2-million ($478,197,356) and is ranked the sixth healthiest in the country.

An estimated 12,000 pre schoolers in Georgia have vision problems. The chief target of the screenings is amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” a condition in which one eye fails to de velop through disuse. The society warns that a lazy eye is usually not obvious through appearance or symptoms. Without treat ment, the child who has lazy eye can suffer permanent vi sion loss, or even blindness in the lazy eye. Lazy eye must be found and treated in the early years— before age 6 in most cases for therapy to be ef fective. The screening test, de signed for children who haven’t yet learned the al pahbet, involves reading a chart with the letter “E” turned in different direc tions. The child points in the direction he sees the legs of the E pointing. Each eye is WOODSTOVi FACTS AND FANTASIES Well, folks, you can tell the heating season is approaching because the woodstove salesmen have started blowing smoke! Don't let their smoke get in your eyes and blind you to the facts. Here are some of their little "fan tasies" that you soon will see and hear, side-by-side with the real facts. ***Stoves "tested to U.L. standards". Ask who did the testing! Was it Underwriters Laboratories? Or was it the manufacturer of the stove or one of his friends? Perhaps the testing was done by another corporation that the stove manufacturer set up solely for the purpose of testing his own stoves? The facts are these: If a stove has been tested by U.L. and has passed the tests, it will have a U.L. tag firmly affixed to it proving the fact. Ask the salesman or advertiser to show you the U.L. tag on the stove! ***Stoves with blowers versus stoves without blowers. Many salesmen and advertisers claim that stoves with blowers will heat your entire home but that stoves without blowers will not. Fact is that no stove blower can blow warm air evenly all over your home as well as can the blower on your forced-air furnace. Ants are strong but an ant can't outpull an elephant. A stove blower may be "powerful" considering its size but any stove blower is downright puny when compared with any furnace blower. So in stall a "high return" and use your furnace blower! You don't have a forced air furnace? Then install a high return and fan over the stove behind a ceil ing grille and blow the heat through ductwork all over your home, thereby having central forced-air wood heating! Radiant stoves heat well when the electricity is off like during ice-storm power failures. Blower-dependent stoves do not. ***Plate steel stoves with cast iron doors. Several manufacturers of woodstoves made of plat steel advertise that you should buy their brand of stove, instead of the competition's stove, because they have cast iron doors on their stoves and cast iron is better than plate steel as stove material. Fact is: High quality cast iron (not scrap iron) is better stove material than so-called "stove-plate steel." Just for fun, try this question on a stove salesman: "Since high quality cast iron is better stove material than stove plate steel, why don't you make your entire stove out of high quality cast iron like some manufacturers do?" Watch them "gee and haw" on that one! ***Deer Creek Woodstoves sells "cute little stoves." That's true. We do. And cute big ones too. Also small ugly ones. And large ugly ones. And furnaces. Boilers, also. And don't forget water heaters. Norwegian-made ones. German, Scotch, Danish and a few others also -- not forgetting our Canadian friends to the North, either. But most of our stoves are made in the good old U.S.A. Our stove of the week is Comforter, shown below. It's made in the U.S.A. of high-quality, thick, solid cast-iron. It's a coal-burner as well as a woodburner. We have heard it said that one fellow who owns one smiles real big - showing all his teeth - while burning peanut hulls. We can't swear to the truth of that statement. However, we do have a picture of his wife standing next to it! pEBSSS' ’>* >5 I ■ ■ II jW hi HI HT' \ 'iJfjsfil CtEEK WOODSTOVES' Henderson Place, off Pilgrim Mill Road It. 9, Box 337, Cumming, Ga. 30130 tested separately, with the other eye covered.
