ON FEBRUARY 11— 113 years ago—Thomas
Alva Edison was born.
In his lifetime, the natural curiosity and
exploratory genius of Edison brought new
light and power to the world through the
invention of the incandescent lamp and the
creation of the electric industry.
He was granted nearly 1,100 patents. To
day, many of the achievements of science
are based on his discoveries.
It’s quite fitting that Edison’s birthday
is observed also as Science Youth Day. The
Georgia Power Company proudly joins in
the tribute to this great man and joins
with other electric companies and industries
throughout the nation in encouraging stu
dents to prepare themselves for careers in
the sciences.
America needs thousands of young Edi
sons—young men with curiosity and vision,
eager to explore the unknown.

Honored in
U. S. Capitol
WASHINGTON — It was Jim
Thomas Day once again and this
time the honors were coming to
the young Georgian who is Na
tional President of the Future
Farmers of America during a
luncheon Monday given by Con
gresswoman Iris Blitch in the
House of Representatives Dining
Room.
Jim, who is from Patterson,
Georgia, in the Eighth District
which Mrs. Blitch represents in
Congress, was in Washington for
10 days at the beginning of a
nation-wide goodwill tour.
The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, bo t h United
States Senators from Georgia and
the Congressional Delegation of
his home stale took time out from
their legislative duties to honor
Jim Thomas at the Capitol lunch
eon. Senators Richard B. Russell
and Herman Talmadge and Re
presentatives Tic Forrester,
Prince H. Preston, J. L. Pilcher,
John J. Flynt Jr., James C. Davis,
Carl Vinson, Phil Landrum and
Paul Brown joined Congresswo
man Blitch in honoring the Na
tional Future Farmers President,
and Speaker Sam Rayburn stop
ped by to pay his respects.
Other guests were Dr. M. D.
Mobley, Executive Secretary of
the American Vocational Associa
tion in Washington who founded
Georgia’s first FFA Club, Mr.
John Farrar, Public Relations
Director of the Future Farmers
of America, Mr. Thad McDaniel
of Rayonier Inc., Jesup, and
Harold Davis and Albert Riley of
the Atlanta Newspapers, Inc.
Rep. Edwin Mitchell, had return
ed to Georgia where his wife had
undergone minor surgery.
Rep. Blitch, appropriately at
tired in the blue and gold colors
of the FFA introduced Jim as
“an outstanding farm boy who
has brought national recognition
to his hometown, his district and
this State. The very presence of
the Senators and Congressmen
exemplifies how proud we all are
of Jim Thomas.”
Jim, whose speaking ability
has been acclaimed widely, said
“he was greatly honored by the
luncheon and expressed his ap
preciation to the Senators and
Congressmen for their support of
the FFA program.”
During the afternoon Jim Tho
mas and Dr. Mobley appeared
with Rep. Blitch on a Washington
television and radio simulcast
which will soon be released to
Georgia stations.
NEW TAX FORM
IS EXPLAINED
The brand new short return
Form 1040 W provided for 1959
Federal income tax filing was
explained this week by A. C.
Ross, Director of Internal Reve
nue for the Georgia District.
Mr. Ross said the new two
page return form can be used by
any individual whose income
consisted of salary and wages, re
gardless of amount, and not more
than S2OO income from interest
and dividends.
Husband and wife whose com
bined income meets these tests
may file a joint return on Form
1040 W, he said.
He added. “The new two-page
form is designed to allow tax
payers in the above income cate
gory the benefits of (1) ‘head of
household’ or ‘surviving spouse’
status, (2) sick pay exclusion (3)
dividends received credit, (4)
estimated tax payment credit,
and (5) itemizing deductions for
contributions, interest payments,
medical expenses, and the like.
Formerly, none of these benefits
could be claimed without filing
on the regular four-page Form
1040.”
Mr. Ross said the simple card
Form 1040A is still provided for
taxpayers whose income is under
SIO,OOO, consisting of salary or
wages reported on Form W-2,
and not more than S2OO in divi
dends and interest.
He said taxpayers with divi
dend and interest income in ex
cess of S2OO, or with any other
income such as capital gains, re
tirement income, rents, royalties,
business or professional income,
etc., must still file on regular
Form 1040.
“If you have any questions on
this subject, or any other ques
tions about your Federal income
tax return, telephone your local
Internal Revenue office,” Mr.
Ross advised.

Get the quiet proof of Chevrolet’s
superior performance on the road—
No other car in the low-priced three
can match the borne-on-the-wind
sensation you get from a ride in the
1960 Chevrolet. But that’s not sur
prising when you consider to what
lengths Chevy has gone to provide
for your comfort at no extra cost to
you. As you drive, count the ways
Chevrolet has been thoughtful:
Supple Full Coll suspension-
Coil springs at all four wheels melt
bumps as no other suspension can.
Taking the punch out of rough roads
is their only function—they don’t
have to anchor the rear axle.

BRIGHTER FOR
STROKE VICTIMS
More than 70 per cent of all
stroke victims who survive can
be restored to partial or complete
self-sufficiency and about 30 per
cent can actually be returned to
gainful employment.
These statistics are contained
in a pamphlet which has been
made available to the public
through the Georgia Heart As
sociation. The pamphlet briefly
describes what causes a stroke
and how a stroke can be prevent
ed.
It tells in detail what can be
done for the stroke victim, em
phasizing that early rehabilita
tion following a stroke will help
“the patient live and work again
to his utmost capacity.”
The pamphlet points out that
rehabilitation “requires coopera
tion of doctor, patient and fami
ly” and that consideration of the
stroke patients’ mental and emo-

In selecting a fabric, Mrs.
Avola Callaway, clothing special
ist, Agricultural Extension Ser

that will show off the pattern to
advantage. A patterned fabric
needs a garment design with few
seam lines. A garment design
with intricate seaming or many
seams requires a plain fabric.
