Georgia Power Company Wins
Annual Farm Market Award
The Georgia Power Company
has been named first place win
ner in one of the nation’s out
standing farm competitions.
Edison Electric Institute, which
sponsors the contest, announced
that the power company has re
ceived the Institute’s first annual
Farm Market Award for excel
lence in the field of designing,
promoting and selling applica
tions of electric service to farm
customers and for contributing
to an increase of over-all effic
iency on the farm.
Lamar T. Wansley, manager of
the company’s rural division, ac
cepted the award on behalf of
the company at a recent meeting
in Chicago. Every electric com
pany serving more than 300,000
customers was eligible to partici
pate.
Agricultural development pro
grams of the company included a
4-H hybrid corn contest, an FFA
and a New Farmers of America
winter grazing contest; an FFA
farm electrification contest, farm
wiring schools for county agents,
and an adult farm wiring pro
gram.
Special praise was given to
the company’s rural engineers
for helping to maintain Georgia’s
nationwide leadership in the field
of broiler production. The com
pany has sponsored several agri
culture research programs in co
operation with the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture.
These include poultry house,
lighting and cooling, and poultry
brooding; permanent type hot
beds, and sweet potato curing
and storage.
Last year Georgia Power was
presented the annual Frank Watts
award for promotion of farm
electrification as a productive
force for better farming and liv
ing.

WHEN CONGRESS SEEKS to
find out what has been accom
plished through spending $24 bil
lion in foreign military aid funds
since World War 11, it can get “no
satisfactory answers?’
erationg Subcdmmittee. Hampered
by the fact that needed data was
contained “largely in classified
documents,” the Subcommittee
found “wastage . . . too great to be
ignored” and “inordinate complexi
ties of organization and serious de
ficiencies in planning and admini
stration” which it said “eat up
dollars without building strength.”
It was forced to conclude that “un
der present methods of operation,
we do not know what we are trying
to accomplish through military
aid.”
• • •
THE COMPTROLLER general
of the United States was equally
pointed in his recentlv-released re
port on military aid in which he
stated:
“The military aid program
to date, for which almost $24
billion has been appropriated,
in many countries has not,
in the opinion of our military
authorities, resulted in the
creation and maintenance of
effective fighting forces by
present-day standards.”
He disclosed that no estimates
have ever been developed as to the
Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

Hurst, conducting the rites in the
presence of a large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
The beautiful floral offerings at
tested to the high esteem in
which Mr. Howell was held by
those who had the privilege of
knowing him.
Interment followed in High
Bluff Cemetery.
Mr. Howell was born in Pierce
county, and was the son of Lawt
Howell annd the late Susie O’-
Berry Howell. He received his
education in the schools of the
county and has been a resident
of Brantley county for the past
twenty-six years. He was a mill
wright by trade and was a val
ued employee of the Satilla Lum
ber Co.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Emmie Hickox Howell of
Nahunta; two daughters, Mrs. T.
J. Queen, Jr. of Niceville, Fla.,
and Miss Evelyn Howell of Na

and noted that if all proposed proj

“probably require United States re
sources beyond those likely to be
available for such purposes.” He
pointed out that, because the
United States has allowed itself to
be influenced by other than mili
tary considerations, it has in many
instances underwritten military ob
jectives incapable of achievement.

BOTH THE COMMITTEE and
the Comptroller called for a con
tinuing internal audit of the entire
military aid program. The Comp
troller in his spot checks found
“examples of inaccurate record
keeping, inadequate control of doc
uments, lags in reporting deliveries
and other deficiencies.” Congress
man Wayne Hays of Ohio, a mem
ber of the Committee, ventured
that a full audit would expose
“shenanigans that will make Ali
Babe and his 40 thieves look
honest.”
That is the
shocking report
of the House
Committee on
Gov jrnment
Operations fol
lowing a round
the-world inves
tigating tour by
its Military Op-
It is hard to understand why
Congress has permitted such lar
gesse with the taxpayers’ money
without so much as the first con
trol or check. The Government
Operations Committee is correct in
its demand that the military aid
program be ‘‘re-examined ... in
relation to national resources and
other military needs” and that
Congress act immediately to de
termine "how long the p r ogram is
to continue, what precise objectives
it is to serve and how best they can
be achieved.”
