THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1977
New Postal
Rates Strike
At Newspapers
As of July 6th, postal rates
for second class publications,
such as the Jackson Pro
gress-Argus. along with
books, records, and other
mail items, have risen once
again.
On the average, the
increase will be about 21 per
cent, but by April of 1978 the
rates will rise for other types
of mailings.
Postmaster General Ben
jamin F. Bailar already has
said that the postal service is
eyeing an increase in first
class mail postage rates,
possibly a two-cent rise to 15
cents, if Saturday deliveries
is terminated.
But, if service remains on
the six-day schedule, the
rates could increase to
16 cents—for everybody.
For publications such as
“Time” and “Newsweek”
magazines, the rate hike will
be from 5.57 cents per copy to
6.80 cents on an average.
Increased postal rates are
expected to have an inflation
ary effect on newspaper and
magazine subscriptions, as
many of the publications
cannot absorb higher mailing
costs from their present
revenues.
Glacier Retreat
The most recent ice-age
glaciers began retreating
about 16,000 years ago. It has
been “only” some 8.000
years since the last ice sheet
melted off the Scandinavian
peninsula, and “scarcely”
6,000 years since it disap
peared from the northern
Canadian mainland. Both
regions are still rebounding
from the release of weight,
rising as much as eight in
ches a year.

Ray Tucker To
Head House
Committee
Representative Ray M.
Tucker. District 73, Mc-
Donough. Georgia was reap
pointed by Speaker Tom
Murphy to serve on the
interim study committee on
workmen’s compensation.
Representative Tucker was
appointed to serve as
Chairman of the committee
and Representative Joe T.
Wood. Gainesville, will serve
as Vice-Chairman. In addi
tion, the following House
members were appointed to
serve on the committee:
Claude Bray, Manchester;
Nathan Knight, Newnan;
Charles Carnes, Atlanta;
Thomas R. Taggart, Savan
nah; and Albert Thompson,
Columbus.
Asa result of work by this
study committee the General
Assembly and the Governor
signed this year an act
creating a Subsequent Injury
Workman’s Compensation
Trust Fund. The purpose of
this law is to encourage the
employment of the handi
capped by protecting em
ployers from excess liability
of compensation when an
injury to a handicapped
worker merges with a
pre-existing permanent im
pairment can cause a greater
disability than would have
resulted from the subsequent
injury alone.
In addition to the subse
quent injury act, this
committee was instrumental
in amending the workmen’s
compensation law setting
forth certain penalties and
provide for the compliance
with provisions of the
workman compensation law.
During the past session of
the General Assembly, a bill
was introduced by Represen
tative Tucker, Carnes and
other members of the
committee to revise, consoli
date and modernize the
present laws relating to
workman’s compensation.
The committee will meet and
hear from all interested
parties concerning this bill
and other matters relating to
workman’s compensation.

Told Value of
Prime Farm
Harold (Doc) McMichael,
Soil Conservation Technician
for Butts County, told
Kiwanians at their meeting
Tuesday. July 12th. of the
value of prime farmland.

of the nation, prime farm
land is being sacrificed for
development at the rate of
three million acres a year,
the speaker said.
“Shopping centers, paved
highways and streets, resi
dences, recreational and
industrial developments are
taking prime farmland from
agricultural use at an
unacceptable rate,” McMi
chael said. His speech was
illustrated with color slides.
The local soil technician
was presented by Club
President Doug Durrett.
President Durrett reported
that the Jackson Kiwanis
Club during the month of
May rated second in attend
