Redbook Says
Florida Holdup
Nets $100,000 to
Two Gunmen
Jacksonville, Fla. — Two gun
men robbed and armored car of
$80,000 to $100,000 etarly Sunday
and escaped, leaving two guards
bound in their vehicle.
The Guy Marvin Inc. truck was
carrying Saturday night’s receipts
from the Jacksonville Kennel Club
when the armed men overpowered
the driver and guard, and took over
the truck.
The armored car was driven a
mile or more into a Negro residen
tial section where it was abandoned
with the guards inside. One of them
worked loose, freed his companion
and called police.
Neither was hurt, other than a
bruise received by the driver when
knocked to the ground. The other
guard was alright.
Georgia’s Sen. Dick Russell was
named first in a Redbook Maga
zine survey to determine the most
influential members of the United
States Senate.
This survey, published in the Jan
uary 18th edition of the magazine
asked Senators and Congressmen,
“Who (leaving aside the Vice-
President, Speaker of the House, and
the Majority and Minority Leaders)
are the three most influential
members of your Chamber?”
With one out of three Members
of Congress responding, the results
'show in the Senate:
I Richard Russell, 25 per cent; Har
ry Byrd, 10 per cent and Carl Hay
den of Arizona, 10 per cent. In the
House of Representatives, Howard
Smith, Virginia, 18.7 per cent; Wil
bur Mills,, Arkansas, 16.8 per cent
and Carl Vinson, Georgia, 10 per
cent.
Redbook’s article described Sena
tor Russell as “Chairman, Armed
Services Committee, unchallenged
leader of Senate Southern Demo
crats, the largest single cohesive
bloc of votes. Tall, Patrician, un
married, Russell at 64 speaks with
out exaggeration when he says,
“My men will do this” or "My
men will do that.” They will.

Growers who are still "thinking
it over’ about participating in the
1962 feed grain program were urged
today not to delay any longer. The
signup period extends only thru
March 30.
W. L. Lanier, State Executive Di
rector of the Ga. Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Service
reports that farmer interest is
high in Georgia as well as through
out the country generally. Indica
tions are that 1962 participation
will run well ahead of that under
last year’s feed grain program.
Farmers who take part in the feed
grain program first file an inten
tion to participate form in the j
ASCS County Office, indicating the
number of corn or grain sorghum
acres they intend to divert from
production into a soil-conserrving
use. The minmum diversion is 20
per cent of the farm’s base acreage
but many farmers are indicating
their intention to divert more than
the minimum.
For participating in the feed
grain program, farmers earn di
version payments, and they also
qualify for price support on the
normal production of their 1962
acreage of these crops. If the
farmer wishes, up to about half the
expected payment to be earned may
be made at the time the applica
tion to take part in the program is
filed.
Lanier points out that a wide
participation in the feed grain pro
gram this year will not only save
the farmer the costs of planting
and harvesting acreages of un
needed feed grains, but it will al
so continue to reduce the costly
pileup of feed grains in government
ownership, increase conservation of
our farm land, and save dollars for
every taxpayer thru further reduc
tion in government costs of stor
ing, shipping, and handling gov
ernment owned grains.

o uiw
Depend on a woman to get to the heart of
the matter. Almost everybody had rather
own a sleek, new electric servant (or two or
three) than “a lot of wiring.” Unfortunately
many houses, new and old, are electrically
inadequate for modern appliances and flame
less electric heating systems. |
To help solve the pi'oblem, the Georgia
Power Company has set up a program where
by we can pay $50 to $200 toward wiring
the homes of qualified customers. This plan
leaves more of your funds free to purchase
electric appliances or heating units you want.
Check with your electrical contractor or
appliance dealer or at our local office to learn
how you can participate in our company’s
wiring program. You’ll cherish the day that
you decide to go all-electric. So why not make
it sooner instead of later I
