In Purchasing Potential
Special to the
Progress-Argus
NEW YORK, Aug. 23
According to anew survey of
business activity in com
munities across the country.
Butts County turned in a
better performance than
most of them in the past
year.
The local trading area
displayed greater economic
strength, reflecting a rising
level of income and a freer
spending attitude on the part
of consumers.
The facts and figures
bearing this out are contain
ed in the new “Survey of
Buying Power,” released by
Sales Management, the mar
keting publication. It pre
sents comparable data on
income and spending for all
parts of the country.
Butts County’s market
strength reflects the greater
purchasing potential of its
population. Because local

Non-Credit
Courses Begin
Sept. Bth
BARNESVILLE The fall
quarter schedule of non
credit classes at Gordon
Junior College will begin in
September.
The Office of Community
Services will offer Soaring
starting Monday, Sept. 8,
from 7 until 10 p.m. The
nine-week course is a ground
school for persons interested
in gliders and soaring. The
school can be completed
separately from actual flying
and prepares class members
for the FAA written exam.
The class will meet on the
people were earning more
they were able to spend
more, although not all of
them did so.
Their net disposable in
come in the year, after
payment of personal taxes,
came to $33,498,000, topping
the previous year’s
$31,385,000.
Just what this represented,
in terms of the individual
family, is indicated by the
median income locally,
which amounted to $8,286 per
household. Half the families
earned more than this and
half earned less.
With that much money
available to them for
discretionary spending,
many local families, who had
been holding themselves
under a spending restraint,
waiting for prices to come
down, returned to the
marketplace to replenish
their needs.
Others, less fortunate, who

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON. GEORGIA
have been having a hard time
making both ends meet,
continued to keep a tight rein
on their spending.
In general, however, it was
a better year for retail stores
in Butts County than for
those in many areas of the
country.
Local retail establishments
were able to report gross
sales of $23,884,000, as
against the prior year’s
$20,002,000.
Currently, according to the
Conference Board, “con
sumer optimism about the
economy is improving and
now stands at the highest
level in almost a year.
“Buying intentions are
better than they have been
for more than a year and a
half. Interest in cars has
improved significantly as
have plans to buy homes and
appliances.”
Coaches Urged
To Protect
Athlete Hearts
The President-Elect of the
Georgia Heart Association
has challenged high school
coaches in the state to help
young athletes guard against
a future of heart disease.
C. Daniel Cabaniss, M.D.,
director of the medical
education at The Medical
Center in Columbus and
associate professor of medi
cine (cardiology) at Emory
University in Atlanta, urged
the coaches to discourage
unnecessary weight gain
among young people.
“Think of these young men
later in life,’ he said. “The
overweight boy you see as a
high school athlete is the man
I see later as a patient in a
coronary care unit.”
Speaking at a nutrition
luncheon of the Georgia
Coaches Association, Dr.
Cabaniss recommended a
heart-healthy eating plan
which includes skim milk,
three eggs a week and
moderate amounts of meat.
“A boy needs these
commodities, but in balanced
amounts, not in excess,” the
Columbus cardiologist said.
He used the example of a
17-year-old athlete “who
weighs 230 when he should
weight 200. When he gets to
be 43 years old, he has a wife,
2 l k kids, a mortgage, two
cars—and a heart attack,
because he was encouraged
to overeat and put on useless
weight.”
Mary Helen Goodloe, R.D.,
dietary consultant with the
Georgia Department of
Human Resources, was in
charge of the panel discus
sion at the luncheon.
Others participating were
Coach Graham Hixon, presi
dent of the Coaches Associa
tion ; Phillip Christopher,
M.D., of Decatur; Robert
Brand, M.D., specialist in
orthopedics and sports medi
cine in Augusta; Ellington
Darden, Ph.D., of the
Athletic Center of Atlanta;
and R. I. Fenton May, Ph.D.,
of the Coca-Cola Cos. in
Atlanta.
“Many times, a youngster
will pay attention to his
coach when he won’t listen to
his parents, physicians or
teachers,” Dr. Cabaniss told
the coaches.
“You have an important
role to play in seeing that
these boys form decent
dietary habits that will
reduce their risk of heart
attack in later years,” he
said.
CARD OF THANKS
I would like to thank all
friends and relatives for the
prayers, visits, cards and
food while I was in Georgia
Baptist Hospital and since
my return home. May God
bless each and everyone of
you. Mrs. Onnie Mae
Minton.
PERSONAL
Mrs. Terry Price and sons,
Jim and Cliff, spent the past
two weeks visiting Mrs.
Sarah Gessaman in Albany.
Mrs. Gessaman is Mrs.
Price’s mother. While there
the Prices enjoyed going to
movies, swimming, putt-putt
golf, and the boys had their
first old-fashioned (ice
cream parlor type) ice
cream sodas. The Prices also
visited Mrs. Price’s aunt,
Mrs. Ruth Conyers, in
Putney. Mrs. Conyers is
doing a lot better after
having been seriously ill,
spending five weeks in an
Albany hospital. The Prices
report they had fun but are
glad to be back home.
Jackson friends of Charles
Redman, on the staff of
Congressman John J. Flynt,
Jr. in Washington, D. C., will
regret to learn that he
underwent surgery last
Thursday, August 14, at
Walter Reed Army Medical
Center and is in Ward 20,
Washington, D. C.
Jackson friends of J. Guye
Haisten of Griffin will be
interested to learn that he
underwent surgery on his
collarbone recently and was
in intensive care.

Funk & Wagnalls sells their

project next year.”
Placing fourth in the
Human Development project
was Lee Duffey. Lee is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Nevin
Duffey, Sr.
He gave his demonstration
on advertising and its effects
on the consumer. In his talk
he warned consumers about
faulty advertising.
Lee had this to say about
the week in Atlanta, “Win
ning a trip to State Congress
was a big honor to me. I
profited greatly from the
learning experiences.”
As well as being an active
4-H member, Lee partici
pated in the Governor’s
Honors Program at Wes
leyan College this summer.
Highlighting the week’s
events were banquets given
by C&S Bank, Dixie Crystal
Sugar, Atlanta Journal and
Constitution, and the Atlanta
Metro Agribusiness Council.
Also the delegates were
welcomed to Atlanta by
Governor George Busbee and
Mayor Maynard Jackson.
The entire week was one of
competition, glamour, and
excitement. In other words,
it was simply dynamite!
