In Handicraff
More than 22,000 aluminum
trayvs and coasters made!
More than 10,000 pieces of brass
and copper completed!
Approximately 2,200 lamp
shades made or remodeled!
“These accomplishnrents, com
piled from reports sent in by more
than 100 Georgia home demonstra
tion agents indicate something of
the wide-spread interest in handi
craft projects in farm homes,” Miss
Mildred Ledford, Extension Serv
ice home industries specialist,
pointed out today.
“Members of community home
demonstration clubs alone sold
more than $27,000 worth of han
dicraft items during the past year,
and this was an increase of $8,500
over the previous 12-month per
iod,” she said.
Miss Ledford continues, how
ever, that marketing of these han
dicraft items is not the primary
aim of the program, although
every assistance is given those
who wish to sell their products, By
far the largest number of items
made are used in the farm homesg
of the women who make thenr,
In calling attention to the chief
items made at home, Miss Ledford
listed the following: 6,200 rugs,
6,400 slip covers, 3,000 sofas and
chairs upholstezed and 2,200 lamp
shades made, More than 20,000
pieces of clothing and linen were
made during the past year,
In another phase of the project,
making toys and dolls at home was
stressed, Nearly 10,000 of these
were made by farm women in
1049,
Total number of crocheted and
knitted articles made by the wo
men was 47,000,

{ Lost” Athenians
} For the sake of the record, Ath
| ens retains its position as the Bth
! city in Georgia, according to pre
ilimmary census figures. It has
'not dropped, according to Ralph
{M. Snow, president of Athens
| Chamber of Commerce.
‘ Percentage-wise, in population
gain, Athens is 3rd among the ma
‘jor cities of the State (cities over
20,000 population), surpassing At
flama. Savannah, Augusta Macon,
| Rome and LaGrange, Mr, Snow
| said,
In 1940 major cities of the State
ranked as follows:
1 - Atlanta - 302,288.
| 2 - Savannah - 95,966,
3 - Augusta - 65,919,
{ 4 - Macon ~ 57,865,
5 « Columbus - 53,280.
6 - Rome - 26,282,
7 - LaGrange - 21,983.
8 - Athens ~ 20,650,
9 - Albany -~ 19,055.
According to the 1950 pre
liminary figures, Georgia’'s major
cities rank as follows:
1 - Atlanta - 326,962.
2 - Savannah -~ 119,109,
3 - Columbus - 79,5186,
4 - Augusta - 71,047,
5 - Macon - 70,096.
6 - Albany - 31,002,
7 - Rome - 29,617,
8 - Athens - 28,102,
9 - LaGrange - 24,954,
Gain percentages, according to
the 1950 preliminary figures are
as follows:
1 - Albany - 62.7.
2 - Columbus - 49.2,
3 - Athens - 36,
4 - Savannah - 24,
5 - Macon - 21.1.
6 - LaGrange - 13.5.
7 - Rome - '12.6.
8 - Atlanta - 9.4.
9 - Augusta - 7.7. ,
No Extension
It should be noted in connection
with the 1950 census figures that
Athens, like Atlanta, has had no
extension of its city limits; other
cities have.
Many Athens people believe that
a large number or Athenians have
been overlooked and not yet count
ed in the 1950 census, added Mr,
Snow. .
The 1949 City Directory indi
cates an Athens population of 31,-
209. Granting that there are
duplications in the City Directory
count, it is not believed that there
were 3,107 duplications, which
represents the difference in the
1949 City Directory count and the
1950 census count. However, and
wherever they may be hiding, the
Athens Chamber of Commerce
would like to locate for the census
these 3,107 casualties. If they can
be located in Athens, the city will
move into 6th place in the State.
Anyone having knowledge of their
whereabouts should unearth them
and report immediately to the
Census Bureau, Mr, Snow said.
In connection with census fig
ures, officials of the Chamber of
Commerce point out that size
alone does not always recessarily
mean the best economic conditions.
According to the latest available
figures Clarke County families had
moere net spendable income (after
taxes) than any of the major coun
ties of the State, except Fulton
and Chatham. The net spendable
income per family:
3 - Clarke (Athens) - $3940.00.
4 - Dougherty (Albany) - $3,-
632.00.
5 - Muscogee (Cdlumbus) - $3,-
552.00.
6 - Bibh (Macon) - $3547.00.
7 - Troup (LaGrange) - $3,-
501.00.
8 - Floyd (Rome) - $3312.00.

Census Reveals:
Heavy Migration
!
Loss —Meadows
‘ Dr. J. C. Meadows, profescor of
| sociology, University of Georgia,
said today that Georgia’s popula
tion gain during the past ten years
could have been much larger if the
migration total had not been so
great,
With complete preliminary cen
sus figures in for the state, Geor
gia had a gain of 9.4 percent. Of
the state’s 159 counties, §9 coun
ties lost in population while 60
gained. Georgia's percentage gain
can mainly be credited to popula
tion increases in several of the
state’s metropolitan areas.
A thorough check by Dr.
Meadows and the Athens Cham
ber of Commerce today revealed
that Athens did not drop from
seventh to eighth place in pop
ulat:on, as was published yes
terday, among Georgia cities
during the past ten years, but
remained in eighth place.
In 1940 lea Zing Athens were
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus, Rome, La-
Grange. The 1950 census shows
the following cities leading Ath
ens: Atlanta, Savannah, Colum
bus, Augusta, Macon, Albany,
Rome,
Besides migration from Georgia
to other states there has been
much nrigration from rural to ur
ban sections, Dr, Meadows said.
In analyzing the migration he
stated the following:
“According to the annual re
ports of our State Department of
Public Health there were 800,179
live births in Georgia during the
past ten years, and 294,449 deaths.
The natural increase, or excess of
births over deaths, was 505,730.
The population of Georgia should
have increased by this differente
except as altered by migration.
Since the state gained only 294,397
in population, it lost 211,333
through migration during the past
ten years. This is a loss, of course,
of more than 21,000 a year, 1,761
for each month of the ten-year
period.
“People migrate for various rea
sons, and all types of people mi
grate. While some of our most
worthless citizens were forced to
move away, we also iost many su
perior persons — artists, profes
sional people, engineers, scientists,
and others including many of our
fine young women,
“Among the people who migrate
from Georgia there are more males
than females. This tends to create
an unbalanced sex ratio in our
state. There is an estimated excess
of white females in Georgia be
tween the ages of 15 and 60 of
25,000 to 30,000. The excess of Ne
gro females in the state for this
age group ranges between 35,000
and 40,000.
“This unbalanced sex ratio pro
duces social problems which affect
marriage, death rate, birth rate,
social codes, and even our social
institutions. In 1949, 6,847 illegit
imate births were recorded in
Georgia.
“While poverty, lack of religion,
and lack of education may be im
portant factors in this probleny, the
unbalanced sex ratio due to mi
gration of males is also a factor.
The number of illegitimate births
in Georgia last year was the high
est on record. The number was
approximately 600 over the figures
for 1948, and 800 over those for
1947. The number was a third
higher than the figures for years
before World War II and double
the figures for years immediately
preceding World War I.
“The movement from rural to
urban areas, the large migration
from the state, and the excess of
fenrales in the state are just a few
of the many interesting and chal
lenging social problems growing
out of the census.”

Heart Meefing
The Georgia Heart Association,
after only one year of operation,
is playing an active role in the
national policy-making bodies of
the American Heart Association.
Dr. R. Bruce Logue, of \Atlanta,
has been elected a director of the
Scientific Council, and Mr. John
T. Phillips, sr., has been re-elect
ed a delegate at large to the As
sembly. The elections were held at
the recent four-day annual meet
ing of the American Heart Asso
ciation in San Francisco, and were
announced in Georgia by Dr. T.
Sterling Claiborne, president of
the Georgia Heart Association.
Dr. Logue is past president and
member of the executive commit
tee of the Georgia association. In
addition to his position on the
board of directors of the Scientific
Council, he was also selected as a
delegate from the council to the
Assembly which is the policy
making body of the national or
ganization.
Mr. Phillips, re-elected dele
gate-at-large, is president of the
Lilliston Implement Company. He
kas been active in the Georgia
Heart Association since it began
operation.
Other Georgia delegates to this
year’s national meeting were Dr.
Gordon Barrow, of Atlanta, and
Dr. Goodloe Y. Erwin of Athens.
Officials of the Georgia Heart
Association pointed out that rep
resentation on the national As
sembly is a great stride for the
Georgia organization which is a
comparatively young member. |
Reviewing their progress in the
past year, they report that the
Georgia Heart Association has
been able to double the number
of heart clinics in Georgia, to be
gin a ten-year research prcject on,
the use of Cortisone in treatment !
of Rheumatic Fever, and to devel
op an efficient program of profes
sional education on heart disease.
