last week for Atlanta,
Ga. Power Company
To Study Flint River
For Development
The Georgia Power Company has
| applied to the Federal Power Commis
'sion for a preliminary permit to study
'the feasibility of hydroelectric power
development of the Flint River, John
'J. McDonough, company president,
announced today.
l The proposed study will center
~about the Flint River areas of Craw
ford, Taylor, Upson, Talbot, Pike, and
Meriwether counties, The study area
comprises a 40-mill stretch of river.
' Because of the meager data now
‘available on the river, the company
will request enough time to make an
intensive study of the section. Such
work will include surveys and geo
logical investigations as well as river
' flow studies, and the results will de
termine the actual feasibility of the
project. Sites the power company
study would include are the Lower
Auchumpkee and Liza creeks and
Spewrel Bluff.
Georgia Power Company engineers
stated that the firm serves its cus
tomers efficiently and economically
through a coordinated steam-electric
~and hydroelectric generating system.
They estimate that approximately
300,000 kilowatts of generating capa
city could be installed on the specified
‘reach of the Flint River. This addi
tional capacity would nearly double
the company's presemt hydroelectric
production, and the engineers said
the new hydroelectric output is need
ed to balance the utility's fast-growing
'steam-electric generation. The com
pany uses electric power generated at
its dams principally to meet peak
hour demands of its customers, while
its steam-electric generating stations,
not dependent upon water reservoirs,
can operate around the clock.
- Mr. McDonough said that many
years ago the company, realizing the
power potential of the Flint River,
purchased” several sites along the
stream with prospects for hydroelec
tric development. Other sites, as well
as the large acreage owned by the
company, would be studied for feas
ibility of development.
“It is our hope,” said Mr. McDon
ough, “that this proposed study will
result in our finding suitable sites for
the development of this important
Georgia waterway. The 21 hydroelec
tric installations we now operate have
played a large part in Georgia's
economic growth. A Flint River de
velopment would stimulate this growth
even more.”
Mr. McDonough said such a de
velopment would benefit local com
munities and counties through pay
ment by the power company of many
‘thousands of tax dollars annually.
- The 330-mile-long Flint River rises
a few miles south of Atlanta and flowsi
south to Talbot county, then southeast
to Macon County, and south to Worth
County. It joins the Chattahoochee
River to form the Apalachicola. The
Flint drains an areas of 8,000 square
miles.
The greasy film that collects on fur
niture in every house traps dust and
dirt particles and should be removed
completely every six months, says
Miss Ava Rodgers. Extension home
furnishing and art specialist.

Your Questions About—
\ By MARY GIBBS,
j Consumer Marketing Specialist
| Q. My neighbor says that reading
labels takes more time than it's worth.
‘What do you think?
A. Read labels. It's a good invest
‘ ment of your time. You may be amazed
at what you find. By law, every food
label must tell the following: Name of
the product, net weight or liquid
measure, name and address of the
packer or distributor and the list of
ingredients where two or more foods
go into an unstandardized product.
This order of listing must indicate the
relative amount of each food, the food
present in largest quantity coming
first.
Q. Do convenience foods always cost
more than unserviced foods?
A. No. Convenience foods or those
with added services such as processing
and packaging are sometimes more
economical than similar foods with
less service added. Convenience foods
may cut labor costs because part of
the work usually done in the kitchen
‘has been done ahead of time or the
processing may eliminate waste and
decrease the shipping costs.
Q. When my husbands shops, he al
ways buys the product which costs
the least. Is price always the most im
portant factor to consider when com
paring like products?
A. While price is important, conven
ience, family taste and storage should
also be considered. As your husband
‘knows, comparing prices, however,
‘can add nickels dimes and quarters to
your weekly food hadget. If you save
only a nickel a day through wise
‘shopping habits, you have saved $18.25
by the end of the year.
