Age of Change, Speaker Tells Kiwanians A scholarly talk on “Changes We See in Today’s Society’’ was presented to the Jackson Kiwanis Club Tuesday night by Bill Delk of Jonesboro, manager of the Jonesboro District of Southern Bell. The program was arranged by Randy Hudgins with the speaker introduced by Ray Reece of Covington. Mr. Delk said that Southern Bell would spend a half billion dollars in the next few years to keep up facilities over the state and pointed to the over $3 mil lion expected to be spent in Jack son in the same period, including the new $1,114,000 building now under construction on East Col lege Street. The speaker declared that time must be considered in change and for emphasis pointed to the changes that have occurred during the last 50 years. Mr. Delk also took a look ahead during the next 50 years and cited some forces we can see that will weigh heavily on future events such as population, three billion people in the world today with 6 or 7 billion predicted by the year 2000, and science and technology. There is much concern being ex pressed on how the United States will feed and clothe its estimated 300 million population and how technology may be able to feed and house the world’s teeming billions. Mr. Delk said that a change in concept of knowledge is occurring and pointed to the importance of our relationship to government with the Federal government now having over 3 million on its pay rolls with over 9 million on State and Federal payrolls. Vice president Ralph Carr Jr. presided in the absence of Presi dent Denny O’Neal, a victim of influenza. Guests included Ray Reece and J. C. Buchanan, both of Covington.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA Homemakers Corner BY PEGGY HOLLAND County Extension Home Economist ■ 'V ill I think it is important for Butts County homemakers to un derstand as much as possible about the foods they serve their families. Perhaps the best way I can try to clear up some of the confusion here in Butts County about cholesterol is to quote an article by Dr. George C. Thoste son. In a column in the Chicago Sun-Times on December 28, Dr. Thosteson discussed saturated and unsaturated fats and cholestrol. This is what he said. “A simple rule to follow is that the saturated fats are fats from animal sources and are hard or firm—solid, that is—at room tem perature. The unsaturated fats are chiefly vegetable oils which, for the most part, are liquid at room temperature. One easy ex ample is soup that contains a lot of fat. While the soup is hot, the fat is liquid, but when it cools off the fat will rise to the top and solidify. Hence, this is a sat urated fat. You don’t necessarily have to avoid saturated fats and high cholesterol foods unless you are overweight, are known to have a high cholesterol level in your blood, or have a family his tory of problems with arteries. In any of those cases, yes, it will pay to be careful about what you eat. But people can make themselves pretty miserable with shopping and meal-planning if you develop a case of ‘choles terolphobia’—a rigid fear of cholesterol and saturated fats. A reasonable understanding of the saturated fats in the diet, and just reasonable care in not go ing overboard, will save you from a jittery belief that you can’t eat this’ or ‘musn’t eat that.’ “In a word, moderation rather than rigid rules is the most prac tical attitude . . .” It’s a Fact! It might have a suggestive ef fect to make steering wheels in the form of a harp. Maddox Seeking 100 Additional State Troopers ATLANTA, (GPS) Gov. Lester G. Maddox, long recognized as a strong advocate of law and order, wants to increase the size of the State Patrol and the Georgia Bu reau of Investigation. And, in his budget message to the Georgia General Assembly, he recommended the hiring of 25 more troopers this year and 75 more next year and five more GBI agents this year and 10 more in fiscal 1971. The governor said the extra GBI agents would make up spe cial squads “to wage war on or ganized crime and will be espe cially trained to combat the il legal drug traffic ■which poses an immediate and grave threat to our state.’' Earlier, in his State of the State speech to the legislature, Gov. Maddox said: “We can all be proud of the job being done by the Department of Public Safety, even though we have not furnished this de partment with the number of men and cars to adequately pa trol the highways.” PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Randy Hodges, Libby and Warren of Chattanoo ga, Tenn. and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Allen, Kelly and Gene of Tifton spent the weekend with Mrs. L.
