Staff of the Central of Georgia Traffic Agency in Athens are
George T. Beeland, Commercial Agent, and Miss Madge
Brown, stenographer,
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol
lowing article, written by
George T. Beeland, commercial
agent for the Central of Georgia
Railway here, was published in
the Central of Georgia Maga
zine, Editor of the widely cir
culated magazine is J. Lloyd
Burrell, himself a former Ath
enian, who for several years was
editor of the Agriculture Exten
sion Service here.)
Athens, Ga., territory includes
10 counties in northeast Georgia,
and the principal cities are Ath
ens, Madison, Gainesville, Monroe,
Elberton, Winder and Jefferson.
This is probably the most high
ly competitive on-line territory we
have and due to the keen compe
tition, shippers and receivers re
quire a great deal of service and
personal attention at the hands of
railroad representatives. It also
requires constant vigilance to se
cure anad retain a fair share of
the traffic offering.
We handle in this territory a
variety of products, such as cot
ton, cottonseed, cottonseed pro
ducts, pulpwood, lumber, coal,
fertilizer, fertilizer material, poul
try feed, and other grain products,
building material, paving mate
rial, and other commodities.
Athens, northeast Georgia's
principal city, was founded in
1801, and is the present site of the
University of Georgia, the oldest
state university in the Nation. It
has grown steadily and now has a
total population of more than 31,-
000, not inciuding some 4,600 stu
dents in the University.
A Thriving City
In the early years of Athens it
was almost entirely dependent on
the University, but through a com
bination of agricultural, commer=
cial, educational and industrial
leadership, it has developed into a
city of thriving and constantly in
creasing importance not only as a
center of education, but of distri
bution, manufacturing, marketing,
processing and trade, while agri
cultural production has shown
steady annual increases from fer
tile soil and constant application of
improved methods and mechan
ization in farming.
Today Athens has more than 100
manufacturing and processing
plants and the number of persons
employed in Clarke county indus
tries has increased steadily year
by year, as old plants were ex
panded or new industries were
put into operation.
Athens is served by two air
ports, one airline, five railroads,
seven bus lines, and nine motor
freight lines. It is a terminal of
the Central of Geergia’s line from
Macon. |
Livestock production is cone
stantly increasing, with sales
through the weekly auction of the
Northeast Georgia Livestock Mar
ket in Athens exceeding $2,000,000
annually, and with dairy products
rapidly approaching a similar fig
ure.
Many Textile Industries .
The textile industry is the larg
est and cotton is processed into
yarns, sheeting, flannel, uphols
tery, curtain material, tire fabric,
rope, bands, elastic braid, rugs,

and many other cotton products.
Other important plants and pro
ducts are cottonseed oil refineries,
fertilizer, garments, veneer, base
ball bats, and retreading rubber.
These industries and a nunrber of
wholesale angd brokerage houses
distribute from Athens into ad
joining states, although many pro
ducts made in Athens have nation
wide distribution.
Gainesville, Ga., is the center of
the rapidly increasing poultry in
dustry, the growth of which in re
cent years has been phenomenal.
In 1950 the poultry industry pro
duced 63,000,000 birds, valued at
$45,000,000, and second only to
the Delaware section in the Na
tion. There is a good deal of traf
fic involved in this poultry indus
try aside from the actual poultry,
the main one of which is poultry
feed which is shipped into this
section from many distant points
in the Nation. There is, of course,
other traffic, such as by-products
from the poultry ‘industry and it
may interest our readers to know
that poultry feathers are shipped
by the carload for use in the fer
tilizer industry.
This office also handles passen
ger matters, especially in connec
tion with athletic teams of the
University and when some of the
more important football games
take place in Athens, we operate
special trains to and from Athens.
Record Made In 1929
In this connection, we do not
| think it would be amiss to remin
|isce a little at this point to men
’tion that in the fall of 1929, when
'« University’s Sanford Stadium
was dedicated by Yale University,
we handled 15 special passenger
trains to and from Athens on that
day, with around 6,000 passengers,
which totaled probably one of the
largest civilian movements ever
’handled on our railroad. These
‘trains were designated by colors
and not a single passenger missed
his train or boarded the wrong one
on his return. Incidentally the
seating capacity of the stadium
was then about 33,000. Now it
seats 50,000. ‘
Our line runs through the Uni- f
versity campus here and for thel
past several years there has been |
almost a continuous construction |
of new buildings and we generally |
participate in the handling of ma- l
terials for these jobs. There are
now located on this canrpus 65i
separate buildings, of which more
than half have been erected in re- f
cent years. At present there is un
der construction approximately
$5,000,000 worth of new buildings.
Under the new Minimum Founda
tion Program for Education it is
hoped that construction of more
buildings will get under way in
the near future.
We have at Athens four unload
ing chutes for handling bulk ma- |
terial from hopper cars. This is at- i
tracting a lot of business to our
railroad.
We welcome an opportunity to
be of service to our patrons and
others. '

“THE HOME OF BETTER VALUES”
— M
Hong Kong’s trades unions are
Communist dominated the most
important among them, such as
the utilities unions, are strongly
influenced, if not directed, by the
Peking regime,
There are two labor blocs in
Hong Kong, as well as a number
of independent unions. The larger
of the two, Trades Union Council,
is influenced by Nationalists and
has received unofficial support
from the Kuomintang Free China
Labor League in Formosa.
Approxinrately 100 local unions
were organized into the council
in December, 1948, but only after
‘the Communists had formed the
Federation of Trades Unions some
months earlier,
The federation has only half as
many members as the council, but
its unions are far more important
and better organized and much
more “tightly controlled. ’
oild-Type Guilds
Many of the council, member
unions are little more than old
type guilds, weakened by corrup
tion and petty politics.
Since 1948, Nationalists and
Communists have been competing
fairly openly for the control of
Hong Kong labor. The Commun-~
ists, aided considerably by British
recognition of Peking, were far
more successful, and although
their influence probably has stop
ped expanding, there can be no
doubt that they are in a dominant
position.
Communists and Nationalists are
both free to propagandize work
‘ers here at will, but Commmunists
'do so on a far more lavish scale
}than Chiang Kai-shek's govern=-
'ment, and as far as can be learn
:ed, with considerably greater im
pact.
" The only occasion on which
they have done so was two years
‘ago, when a streetcar union went
on strike, tying up this form of
;transportation for almost three
‘months. This was generally re
‘garded locally as a Communist test
of strength.
Now, however, there are per
ceptible signs of restiveness, al
though it is not clear to what ex
tent this can be attributed to Com
munist direction, since the deter
jorating economic situation is also
a contributing factor.
Hong Kong today wears a
bright facade of rather ostenta
tious prosperity, but many thous
ands of its swollen population are
living in conditions of poverty.
Indeed, areas of the colony—
which is widely advertised as a
show window of democracy-+now
bear a startlingly realistic like
ness to sections of Shanghai and
Canton during the last days of
Nationalist rule.
Another Transit Strike?
Unemployment, already serious,
is spreading fast; and the cost of
living continues to soar,
This, of course, makes for a cli
mate in which communism always
has prospered.
Streetcar workers in Hong Kong
are presently bargaining for bet
ter conditions, anad there is a
strong possibility that they may
strike again unless their terms
are met.
This is cne of the strongest of
Communist unions. Others are the
Seamen’s Union, dockyard work
ers, aand gas and electricity work
ers unions,
Local British authorities, who
apparently paid little attention to
labor developments until two
years ago (in the immediate pre
war years, unions had not been
politically active), now are alert.
But it is extremely doubtful if
much could be done if the Com
munists decide to make a full
show of the strength they have
built up since the war ended.
‘HOSPITAL’ RESTORES
RARE BOOKS
ROME — (AP) — A fast-build
ing “book hospital” in Rome is
attracting ‘“precious patients” from
all over the world.
The hospital is “The Institute of
Book Pathology.” The patients are
ancient and rare books and parch
ments which have suffered accid
ents or are threatened by destruc
tive book bacteria.
Mostly the damage to previous
stores of old boks and records in
dtaly during the war has been re
sponsible for the growth of the
institute, officials said. Many of
the ancient documents saved from
the Abbey of Monte Cassino were
restored there.

“THE HOME OF BETTER VALUES”
SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1952,
In Bibb County
MACON — “Not only Angug
but purebred beef cattle history
will be made,” comments Dr.
P. Jarnagin, Extension Service
animal husbandman, in relation
to the Aberdeen-Angus cattle saje
to be held at Lorraine Farms, RF
1, Macon, February 11. The herd
is owned by M. J. Witman.
Jarnagin says that representi
tives from all sections south of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi
rivers will be at the sale, an aution
affair.
A highlinght of the sale wi)
be the offering of purebred heit.
ers bred to Home Place Eillenmere
192nd, a young bull for which
Lorraine Farms paid $30,000 in
the summer of 1951. This is re
portedly the highest priced cait
of the age to come to the South
east.
Fifty-one two-year-old heifery
will be offered for sale. Of these,
38 are bred.
Any of the heifers to be offered
for sale ‘“are good enough to ¢
into any herd I know,” continued
the animal husbandman. “As ;
group they are wide, deep and
well fleshed. Thev are rusged
without croasness. They are shory
of neck and stand on short, straisht
legs. In addition to showing good
Angus type, they are the kind of
cattle that do well on grass or in
tte feed lot. They have what the
practical beef producers want. The
four bulls to be sold are meritori
ous.”
