Jaycees To
Help With
Epilepsy
The Georgia Jaycees have
adopted a statewide public
awareness and fund raising
program for the Epilepsy
Association of Georgia, Inc.
The decision to sponsor this
project was made by the
Executive Committee of the
Georgia Jaycees at State
headquarters in Perry on
September Bth.
The Epilepsy Association
of Georgia, Inc. (EAG) is a
statewide, non-profit organi
zation chartered on Septem
ber 22, 1964. Its sole purpose
is the assistance of the
estimated 90,000 epileptics in
Georgia and their families.
EAG is not a chapter of, or
affiliated with, any national
foundation or organization
and all funds donated remain
in Georgia.
The Jaycees plan to use
funds raised in their program
to provide diagnostic equip
ment for the Treatment,
Training and Research Cen
ter for Epileptics at the
Warm Springs Complex.
The home office of the
Epilepsy Association of
Georgia, with Howard Phil
lips as president, is located at
209 Oklahoma Avenue in

Nuclear Power Used To
Produce Electricity
SUSAN MILLSAP
Home Economist
Georgia Power Company
This summer, Georgia
Power completed its first
nuclear generating plant, the
Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear
Plant, near Baxley.
Electricity produced at the
new plant will be the same as
that produced at any of the
coal, oil, natural gas or
hydroelectric generating fa
cilities. The uranium fuel
used at the plant is more
plentiful than oil or natural
gas. For this reason it is
essential that we begin to use
uranium fuel now, lessening
our dependence on scarce
and increasingly expensive
oil and gas and freeing these
fossil fuels for vital transpor
tation and manufacturing
uses.
While there is enough coal
to meet the state’s electric
needs for many years, much

No-Fault
Hearings
Georgia Comptroller Gen
eral Johnnie L. Caldwell
announced today that he will
hold two public hearings to
discuss the proposed rules
and regulations to implement
the Georgia no-fault automo
bile insurance law (Georgia
Motor Vehicle Accident Rep
arations Act) which was
passed during the 1974
session of the Georgia
legislature.
The first of these hearings
will be held on Wednesday,
September 18, at 10 a.m. in
Room 341 of the State
Capitol. The second hearing
will be held on Thursday,
October 31 at the Capitol.
Caldwell’s office stated
that he expects to adopt the
rules and regulations on an

concerning this program
may be obtained from the
Epilepsy Association of
Georgia; or the Georgia
Jaycees in Perry; or State

of it cannot be used without
the addition of costly
environmental protection e
quipment which adds to the
cost of producing electricity.
Nuclear power plants pro
duce only small amounts of
air pollutants. In fact,
nuclear power plants have
even less environmental
impact than hydroelectric
generating facilities.
Since only small quantities
of nuclear fuel are required,
mining, storing and trans
porting are simpler and less
expensive. Nearly 3 million
pounds of coal would be
required to equal the energy
in a single pound of uranium.
It costs about three times
as much to build a nuclear
plant as to build a generating
plant that burns coal. The
many millions of extra
dollars in construction funds
required for nuclear plants
have made financial prob-
