I.Q. tests are performed as
a normal routine, beginning
in elementary school to
check the intelligence quo
tient of individuals. These
I.Q. tests are designed in a
manner to check the intelli
gence of the person taking
the test against what is
considered normal, or aver
age, for that age.
As an example, a 10-year
old child that scores the same
as a normal 10-year-old has
an I.Q. of 100. If he should
score the same as a
5-year-old then he has an I.Q.
50. If the 10-year-old makes
the score of a normal
13-year-old then he has an
I.Q. of 130. Only about three
per cent of the population has
an I.Q. higher than 130.

1976 Income
Governor George Busbee
reported today that a fiscal
year-end statement compiled
by the State Department of
Audits showed that the state
exceeded its FY 1976 revenue
estimate of $1,688 billion by 5
million.
Total collection amounted
to $1,693,103,864.16.
“To have survived the
economic downturn with $5
million extra without the
necessity for a tax increase
was a monumental achieve-

ment which required total
cooperation from legislators
and state department
heads." Busbee said.
Busbee observed, however,
that the austerity program
which permitted the state to
achieve its FY 1976 estimate
continues to be reflected in
the FY 1977 budget and
warned that $5 million “is an
extremely tight hedge again
st future economic uncertain
ties and leaves no room for
the usual supplemental
appropriations bill when the
legislature convenes in Jan
uary.”
Total state collections
included $1,608 billion in tax
revenues from the State
Revenue Department and SBS
million from insurance pre
mium taxes, licenses, fees
and interest on state bank
deposits. Busbee said.
Busbee said the final figure
reflected a deviation of only
0.3 per cent from the
estimate of Dr. Henry
Thomassen, the Governor’s
revenue estimator - “and
thankfully on the high side.”
Busbee said that although
he recently lifted a freeze on
filling vacancies, he retained
other austerity measures,

Last Rites
Held Monday
For Ben Garr
Ben Garr, 58, died Sunday
in a Forsyth hospital follow
ing an extended illness.
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at 4
o’clock from the chapel of
Andrew Dillon and Son
Funeral Homes. Interment
was in the Forsyth City
Cemetery.
A native of Monroe County,
he was the retired director of
permits and enforcement in
the State Department of
Transportation, having serv
ed with the rank of major.
A former executive aide to
both Governor Ernest Van
diver and Carl Sanders, he
was a familiar figure at the
State Capitol and had hosts of
friends throughout the state
who will mourn his passing.
He was a member of the
Georgia Peace Officer’s
Association for over 30 years.
During World War 11, he
served with distinction with
the US Army’s 30th infantry
division.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Helen Collins Garr of
Forsyth; a son, Jerry Garr,
Forsyth; two brothers, Webb
J. Garr and J. L. Garr, both
of Jackson; four sisters, Mrs.
F. M. Ridgeway, Jackson;
Mrs. Guy Oxford, Culloden;
Mrs. J. K. Zellner, Forsyth,
and Mrs. John M. Phillips of
Macon.
$3OO with the Office of
Planning and Budget.
The FY 1977 budget
removed 1,600 jobs from the
books, and these positions
cannot be filled under any
circumstances.
“Our next hurdle is to
make the FY 1977 estimate of
$l,BBB billion,” Busbee said,
“and fiscal restraint will
continue to be the guiding
principle of this administra
tion until we are convinced
we’ll make the $195 million
we've projected above FY
1976.”
The Governor said it is too
soon to predict whether funds
will be available for new or
expanded programs in FY
1978.
The Governor noted that
the final surplus figure has
not yet been compiled by the
state auditor. Yet to be taken
into account are lapsed funds
from state agencies.
