Voters Bill
Clarke County Commissioners
Saturday inspected and discussed
a League of Women Voters-spon
sored bill which will be introduced
at the current session of the legis
lature. The bill was presented to
the Commissioners by Mrs. J. J.
Lenoir, representative of the Wo
men Voters.
The bill is the result of an in
vestigation maude by the League
and concerns the consolidation of
the office of tax collector and tax
receiver
. The Commissioners stated that
they woula not commit themselves
on the bill either pro or con, feel
ing that it was a question to be
decided by the pcople after care
ful consideration of the bill and
its effectiveness. Although stht
ing they considered a referendum
on the matter of consolidation of
the two offices advisable, the
Commissioners would not endorse
‘or oppose the bill as they felt their
a®ion might be preiudicial to the
people in the event the matter
comes to a referendum.

Cotton Textile Research In South
Creating Large New Dixie Markefs
ATLANTA.—Research in the cotton textile and syn
thetic fiber fields today is resulting in an importantly ex
panding economy in the Southern states, opening new mar
kets both ingide and outside the region and laying the
groundwork for thousands of additional jobs.
Millions of dollars have been invested in new and ex
panded research facilities since World War 11, Textile In
formation Service reported today on the basis of an ex
tentive study in this field.
~ Plant rehabilitation, installation
‘of new machinery and adoption of
the latest scientific methods are
listed ag major reasons why the
textile industry is looking South
ward today os never before.
Capital commitments and ex
penditures, covering renovation,
modernization and expansion, for
cotton and rayon mills in 1951 are
estimated at approximately $470,-
000,006, the bulk of it in the South.
Tex®Mle research has had an es
pecially notable impact in creating
new and expanded markets and
opening up new jobs in Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee and the Carol
inas,
" Laboratories
Laboratories in these states to
day are concerning themselves
with virtually the entire scope of
textile manufacturing activities.
Numerous new independent la
boratories have been established in
these states in the last few years,
mills have expanded their own
facilities or established new ones
and educational institutions and
government agencies have stepped
up sharply their textile research
programs.
There have been siriking de~
velopments, too, in the field of the
synthetic fiber industry in the
South—one feared as a damaging
competitor of the regien’s import
ant cotton textile industry but
being viewed increasingly today
as an ally in extending cotton’s
uses and markets.
Soday Reports
Dr. Frank J. Soday, research
director of the Chemstrand Crop.
at Decatur, Ala., reports that more
than half of the chemical indust
ry’s initial plant expansion in 1951
— amounting to $600,000,000 and
covered by government cerificates
of necessity—will be located in
the South. Total capital expendi
tures for the chemical industry in
1951 are estimated at more than
$4,000,000,000 with the South ob
taining a large share. |
The continuing movement of the
synthetic fiber industry into this
region will, Dr. Soday says,
“materially broaden the base of
chemical manufacturing in the
South” and create new markets
for every basic chemical.
Today about 70 per cent of rayon
production capacity is in the
South, notably in Virginia, Ten
nessee, Georgia and the Carolinas.
These three industries—cotton
textiles, synthtics and chemicals—
can work together to improve the
position of each.
In Decatur, Chemstrand is in
vesting more than $£50,000,000 in
a plant to manufacture a new pro
duct which was developed from
research-—and the corporation will
employ in that Alabama city more
persons in its research department
than in production!
It is possible to give no more
than a brief indication of how the
research arms of various industries
and of other organizations and
institutions are working to provide
tremendous benefits to the entire
textile industry in this region.
"~ Ag. Department
But in Leland, Miss, for ex
ample, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s cotton ginning la
boratory already has contributed
important developments in lint
cleaning and drying and currently
is studying the possibilities of im
proved methods of ginning which
may yrove a boon to the cotton
textile manufacturing plants.
In Birmingham, Ala., the re
cently-expanded Textile division
of the Southern Research Institute
is engaged in several projects on
imporved machinery, the outcome
of which may prove of major
significane to the entire textile
industry.
The Southern Regional Re
search Laboratory of the USDA in
New Orleans has been making
fundamental studies of agricul
tural products used in the textile
industry for several years. lis
greatest efforts, in fact, have been
devoted to research to improve the
quality, manufacture and finish of
cotton. It has undertaken dye tests
for immature cottons, work to im
prove the resistance of cotton fa
‘brics to water, mildew and heat,
to develop insect-repellent cotton
material and aslo has been work
ing to develop new svnthetic fi
bers from Southern farm crops.
Georgia Tech o
At Georgia Institute of Tech
ology in Atlanta, the Georgia Tech
Research Institute—a separately
incorporated auxiliary of the En
gineering Expe‘iment Station —
is undertaking research and de
velopment contracts in fieids of
mutual interest with industry, as
sociations and government agen
cies. It recently has made studies
of synthetic fibers for Air Force
parachutes. ¢
The Institute of Textile Tech
mology in Charlottesville, Va., has
handled more than 300 projects
for the textile industry during the
year.
Studies have been made on both
natural and synthetic fibers at
Clemson College in South Carolina.
The Industrial Research Institute
of the Univeristy of Chattanooga
does work on cotton textiles, and
the University of Tennessee at
Knoxville has a Fiber Research
Faborairy.
Textile Plants
Typical of the textile plants
which have outstanding research
facilities in Alabama is the West
Point Manufacturing Co., which
has established a new laboratory
in Shawmut, Ala.
Some of the outstanding textile
research jobs in Georgia are being
done at the research division of
Callaway Mills at LeGrange, the
research department of the Cel
anese Corpration of America at
Rome, and the Central Develop
ment of the Textile Division of
U. S. Rubber Co. at Hogansville.
Many South Carolina mills
maintain fine research facilities,
a few of them being the Granite
ville Co. in Graniteville, Pacific
Mills at Lyman, Deering Milliken
at Pendleton and U. S. Rubber
Co,’s Textile Division at Winns
boro.
In North Carolina extensive
research is carried out by Ken
dalf Mills at Paw Creek, Bufling
ton Mills Corp. at Greensboro,
Mooresville Mills at Mooresville,
Stonecutter Mills Corp, at Spin
dale, Standard Hosiery Mills at
Burlington and Cone Mills Corp,
at Greensboro.
Tennessee
In Tennessee, research programs
are carried on at Dixie Mercerizing
Co. in Chattanooga, America Bem
perg-Beaunit Mills, Inc., at Eliza
bethton, North American Rayon
Corp. at Elizabethton and E. 1. du-
Pont de Memours and Co., Inc,
at Old Hickory, among others.
These, of course, are only a
sampling of the board programs of
research which are contributing so
importantly today to the industry
which provides greater employ
ment than any other in Alabama,
Georgia and the Carolinas nd is
signifient alyo in the economy of
other state sin Dixie.
The Southern Association of
Science and Industry terms the
progress in textile research in the
South “heartening” for the ec
onomy of the region.
Said H. McKinley Conway, ir.,
of Atlanta, director of the as
socition:
“Today's research investment
will improve the stability and pro
sperity of the textile industry to
morrow. Experiments being con
ducted in Southern laboratories at
this time will lead directly to new
products and processes in the
years ahead. This, of course, will
provide the Southern segment of
the textile industry with greater
marketing opportunities and will
accelerate the expansion of the
industry in this area.”

congestion on our highways.”
In “ther States
The Governor reported that
about 500 miles of the pay-as-you
ride super highways are now in
operation in other states, 350 miles
are under construction and 1,200
miles have been authorized or are
in the planning stage.
He said his administration has
built about 6,000 miles of roads,
but with existing revenues will
not be able to “build through
highways for high-speed traffic as
rapidly as they are needed.”
He also emphasized that toll
roads would be built only where
traffic volume would finance
them, that they would be in addi
tion to the current state road
building program, and would not
constitute an obligation against the
state. .
Talmadge alse asked for a con
stitutional amendment setting
aside $10,000,000 a year to finance
public school buildings. The state
now appropriates $5,000,000 an
nually for that purpose.
Such an amendment, the Gov
ernor added, would finance a
$170,000,000 program and save the
state about &,000,000 in interest
charges.
He also called for passage of a
bill to amend the 1949 voter regis
tration act, making the old voter
lists permanent.
As accomplishments of his ad
ministration, he briefly outlined
improved health, education and
highway services and improve
h:pents at the various state institu
ons.

WHY IT COSTS MORE TO MAKE WAR—The revolutionary fighting equipmeat demanded by
today’s war is far more complex and costly than that of World War 11. The three contrasts in
equipment illustrated here were cited as examples of this point by Defense Mobilizer Charles E.
Wilson in his fourth quarterly report to the President titled, “The Battle For Production.”
Name 4 Georgia 4-H Winners
’I‘OP RANKING records in the 1951 National 4-H Health, Public
Speaking and Dairy Foods Demonstration programs have brought
state honors to four Georgia club members.
Acclaimed 4-H Health Im
provement winner in Georgia for
1951, Patricia Venable, 14, of
Jefferson, received a trip to the
National 4-H Club Congress in
Chicago as guest of the Kellogg
Co. of Battle Creek. Untiring ef
forts to improve her own heailh
and the health habits of family
and community, earned for
Patricia this recognition. When
Patricia joined the 4-H Club in
1948, she soon made heaith her
most important ;}:‘roject. She was
elected fioealth chairman of her
club and with aid of community ‘
leaders, soon set up goals towards
which they would work. Some of
these were better water facilities,
a first aid kit at school and gar
bage and sewage disposal. They
also carried out a rat and fly
eradication program in the com
munity. Another health measure
in which the 4-H was active in
cluded rabies inoculation for 80
dogs.
S. Alton Ewing, 16, of Coving
ton, and Tommie Nevelle Guess
(girl), 17, of Sycamore, have
been chosen state winners in the
4-H Publiec Speaking program.
Because of its interest in rural
youth, the Pure Oil Co. provides
merit awards as encouragement
to the young people in this pro
gram. Tommie received a set of
beautiful silverware, while Alton
was presented with a 17-jewel
watch.
Alton’s winning talk was
“What 4-H Means to Me and My
Community.” He observed that,
not only does 4-H prove valuable
to the community because it
trains its youth to be useful, self

Pennsylvania Turnpike Serving As
Pattern For Other Similar Projects
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan, 12.—
(AP) — The Pennsylvania Turn
pike, the criginal high-speed toll
road, is serving as the pattern for
many similar projects in all parts
of the natien ' & & e
With the final, 57-mile link
opened last month, the Turnpike
now runs 327 miles from Phila
delphia to Ohio — a four-lane
highway with a 70 m.p.h, speed
limit and not a single traffic
light.
Since the first 160-mile segment
was opened 11 years ago, New
Jersey has opened a similar high
way, Ohio has one in the planning
stage and other states across the
nation also are becoming turn
pike-minded.
Plans are now underway to
complete the east-west turnpike
with a 40-mile section to the New
Jersey Turnpike from the pres
ent King ot Prussia terminus near
Philadelphia. Offshoots to the
north and south also have been
approved by the legislature.
" Original Turnpike
The original turnpike ran fronr
Irwin near Pittsburgh to Carlisle
near Harrisburg. Then last year a
100-mile eastern leg was added
and now the 57-mile western arm
is ready for traffic. The newest
link cost $77,500,000 and the east
‘ern extension SB7 ‘million, The
original turnpike cost only S7O
million with seven tunnels.
The turnpike makes it possible
to drive across Pennsylvania’s Al
| legheny Mountains with no road
intersections and no grades great-
No Les-Up Seen
In Growth Of
Gas Industry
Its story has been one of steady
expansion since the end of World
War II and barring stortages of
such materials as steel the outlook
for 1952 ig for still more expan
sion. :
The American Gas Association
says nearly $1,500,000,000 was
spent by gas utilities for new plant
and equipment in 1951.
It estimates that in the five
year period 1951 through 1955 an
other $4,600,000,000 will go for
further growth.
The emphasis has been on
natural gas. For instance, nearly
one billion dollars of the 1951
expansion money went into con
struction of new natural gas
transmission systems and more
pipelines,
The gas industry is one of the
nation’s oldest public utilities and
has become one of the largest.
With a total investment of almost
$9,000,000,000 in plant and equip-~
ment it ranks sixth among the in
dustries.
Beyond Dreams
It has reached heights it never
dreamed were possible. Thanks to
a great extent to natural gas new
records for production, distribu
tion, sales and numbers of cus
tomers became old almost over
night.
Natural gas marketed produc
tion has increased more than 400
per cent in the past 25 years.
Natural gas men are talking in
trillions of cubic feet of reserves
and hundreds of thousands of
miles of pipelines.
The American Gas Association
says at the end of 1950—the latest
figure available—proved recover
able natural gas reservers totaled
185,600,000,000,000 cubic feet, an
increase of more than five trillion
over the previous year.
There were more than 314,500
miles of natural gas pipelines, the
AGA said, and the mileage is in
creasing at a rate of almost 15,000
miles a year.
During 1951 natural gas reached
New England and metropolitan
New York and extension of these
lines is now underway.
There are now 39 states being
served with natural gas and the
Pacific Northwest is the only
densely populated area in the na
tion where natural gas is not dis
tributed. i
Future Plans
But, the AGA adds, plans are
well on their way for bringing
natural gas to the Pacific north
western states.
AGA statistics show that at the
end of 1951 the gas utilities were
serving about 25,392,000 custom
ers, the first time past the 25
million mark. About 17,167,000 of
these customers were receiving
natural gas.
An increasé¢ of 14.2 per cent in
the number of natural gas cus
tomers during the year and a de
cline of 13.4 per cent in manufac
tured and mixed gas customers
reflected the extent of the
changeovers to natural gas dis
tribution.
Revenues from the sale of
utility gas reached a new record
level of about $2,205,370,000,
compared with $1,948,002,000 at
the end of 1950.
The gas applicance manufactur
ers didn’t do quite so well be
cause of a combination of cir
cusmstances.
Credit restrictions, a decline in
new construction, highes taxes
and higher living costs created a
buying apathy, the AGA says.
At the year end, however, the
Gas, Appliance Manufacturers
Association saw “a break at least
in the public’'s buying apathy.”

er than three percent, The turn
pike goes either under or over in
tersecting highways.
A toll of $3.25 — or approxi
mately a penny a mile—is charged
for a motor car travelling over the
entire turnpike. Commercial vehi
cles are charged between 2% to
4 cents a mile.
Twenty-four cloverieaf inter
changes for access and exit are
spaced at intervals along the giant
highway. Restaurants and gas sta
tions also are plotted at measured
points.
Concession Rights
Concessions rights along the
turnpike went to the highest bid
der. One ooil comrpany (Standard
Qil) has all the stations on the
original turnpike and another
(Gulf) on both the eastern and
western extensions. Both compan
ies leased the restaurant rights tq
Howard Johnson.
The turnpike was financed by
the Pennsylvania Turnpike Com
mission, which floated its own
bond issue to pay for the con
struction of each segment, The
road is patrolled by Pennsylvania
State Police whose expenses are
footed by the commission.
“The entire turnpike is realizing
a great deal more traffic and rev
enue than contemplated by engi
neers in the beginning,” says T. J.
Evans, commission chairman.
The original turnpike followed
the route of a defunct railroad
started by steelmaker Andrew
Carnegie. Many of the railroad’t
iwater-filled tunnels were used by
the turnpike constructors.
The association described the out
look for the gas appliance market
as “bullish, barring materials
shortages.
Refail Income
Sagged Toward
End Of 1951
MINNEAPOLIS—WhiIe real in
come of the typical American con
sumer—his cash income in terms
of living costs—is still slightly
higher than a year ago, the latest
monthly report on the Investers
Diversified Services again reflects
a sagging tendency. The estimate
is that $1.05 in real income, as
compared with last year’s dollar,
is now at the command eof the
consumer who receives cash in
come from all sources in propor
tion to the national division of
such cash incomes.
Last year, total income from all
sources was mounting fast. Toward
the end of 1951 the dislocations
caused by the new armament drive
were apparent in many employ
ment fields while some prices con
tinue to rise. The result is a
squeeze on the buying power of
the typical consumer.
Galen Van Meter, vice chairman
of Investors Diversified Services,
said that if the saving pattern of
1951 was maintained in 1952 ex
cessive inflation could be haited,
however. “Personal savings in
banks, life insurance, mutual
funds and other investment choices
of the thrifty reached a record to
tal this past year. This willing
ness to save is reflected in sales of
many ‘soft’ consumer goeds where
prices are showing a tendency to
drop rather than to rise. Some
shortages may appear as produc
tion facilities are converted to de
fense needs, but they are unlikely
to be intensified by panic buying
by consumers,” Mr. Van Meter
said.
France recently completed a
man-mode port of Abidjan, capital
of Africa’s Ivory Coast.
The South Pole was discovered
by Amundsen 40 years ago, after
a 55-day trek with dog sleds across
the great ice shelf.
The United States has a produc
tion capacity of approximately 105
million tons of steel a year.
