VOLUME 41 — NUMBER 4 Georgia Power Company Plans To Spend 59 Million in 1961 Georgia Power Company this week announced the greatest construction budget in the firm’s history— a scheduled 1961 ex penditure of $59 and one-half million. John J. McDonough, president, also reported Georgia’s economic expansion for the next three years will increase demands for electric power by more than a billion kilowatt-hours a year. He predicted similiar growth will continue “beyond the next three year period.” Mr. McDonough said that the company’s 1961 construction bud get is S2B million larger than the capital investment of the 83 new industries which located in the company’s service area last year. (The capital investment figures are based on industries with more than $50,000 of capital out lay and employing at least 10 persons.) The company will make a sub stantial investment in continuing work on the Southern Electric Generating Company’s million kilowatt steam-electric generat ing plant near coal fields at Wilsonville, Ala. This plant is jointly owned by the Georgia Power Company and Alabama Power Company. The plant’s first two units, with a generating ca pacity of 250,000 kilowatts each, went into service in 1960. In 1961 a third unit will begin op eration. Georgia receives half of the plant’s output. One of the company’s top 1961 projects will be continuing con struction on Plant McDonough near Atlanta. This 500,000-kilo watt project was started in 1960 and will cost approximately $66 million when completed in 1964. The first unit is scheduled for completion in 1963 and the se cond unit in 1964. An estimated $11,750,000 will be spent on this plant in 1961. The company will spend $4,- 240,000 in 1961 for installing 30,- 000 kilowatts of new hydroelec tric generating facilities at the existing North Highlands dam near Columbus. This project is scheduled for completion in June, 1962, at a budgeted cost of $7,- 600,000. Work will continue on build ing 47 miles of 230,000-volt trans mission line from Morrow to Win der and a 125,000-kilowatt sub station at Winder. Total cost will be nearly $2,900,000, of which ap proximately $1,900,000 will be spent in 1961. This line will be extended to the Hartwell dam at a cost of approximately $2,560,- 000, of which $200,000 will be spent in 1961. Approximately $1,325,000 will be spent in 1961 for continuing work on 88 miles of 230,000-volt transmission line from the Goat Rock plant, near Columbus, to Bonaire, near Macon. This pro ject will be completed in 1902 at a cost of nearly $3,500,000. Thirty-eight miles of 110,000- ( G - l|l < I g " ' i\ Pt&sesAy ye? w r#£ NEW MAffCH OFD/MEf.

Cost will be $1,300,000, of which $1,100,000 will be spent in 1961. Mrs. Robert Smith Urges Support of March of Dimes The 1961 New March of Dimes will bring new hope for millions of Americans afflicted with one of mankind’s oldest enemies, ar thritis. This was the prediction of Mrs. Robert Smith, Brantley County director for the fund raising campaign being through out the month of January. “The cause and cure for ar thritis and similiar diseases are still unknown, but some of the answers may be forthcoming as the result of the March of Dimes supported program of The Na tional Foundation,” she said. “Answers are being searched for at the four arthritis clinical study centers located in New York City, Dallas, San Francisco and Rochester, N. Y., which are receiving March of Dimes funds. “Valuable new knowledge leading to the prevention of crippling arthritis may even now be just on the horizon at any one of the laboratories where scientists are working on projects supported by March of Dimes re search grants,” Mrs. Smith point ed out. “A number of National Found ation chapters with sufficient funds after meeting their polio obligations are also paying for patient aid to children under 19 who are afflicted with rheuma toid arthritis or with certain crippling defects,” she added. “The National Foundation will be able to do even more in its fight to prevent crippling dis eases if public contributions to the 1961 New March of Dimes are generous enough to permit further expansion of its programs of research, patient aid and pro fessional education.” Hortense Church Begins Revival The revival at the Hortense Wesleyan Methodist Church be gan on Sunday, January 22, and will continue through Sunday, February 5. Services begin at 7:15 each evening. Rev. William McFarlin, pastor, is the evangelist with Mrs. Mc- Farlin assisting in the services.

No crippled child or adult in Georgia need go without care and treatment because of inabili ty td pay for service.

Funds gathered by Mothers’ March volunteers will help sup port a far-reaching research pro gram, Mrs. Walker said. “This same research program already has produced the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines and two Nobel prizes. We have every reason to hope that it will cast new light on the causes of crippling birth defects and arthritis.” Emphasizing the importance of The National Foundation’s work to prevent crippling diseases, the Mothers’ March chairman urged Brantley County women to vo lunteer their services for one hour the night of Jan. 31 by tele phoning March of Dimes head quarters at HOward 2-3749.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Nahunta Basketball Team Wins Over Wayne for 19th Victory March of Dimes To Aid Research On Birth Defects The deepest secrets of man's health and heredity may soon be revealed through medical re search, much of which has been financed by the American people through the March of Dimes. That prediction was made by Mrs. Robert Smith, Brantley County director of the Jan. 2-31 campaign for the 1961 New March of Dimes, quoting a year end scientific report from The National Foundation. "The National Foundation in its fight to prevent crippling birth defects, arthritis and polio has allocated March of Dimes funds to a wide range of research pro jects that may contribute to many significant scientific break throughs,” she declared. “We .may see control of biolo gical problems that until recent ly were believed impossible to solve,” Mrs. Smith said, “thanks to startling progress in the last few years resulting from funda mental research work in nucleic acid which The National Founda tion has been supporting for some time.” Dr. Albert B. Sabin has de veloped his live-virus polio vac cine under National Foundation grants. “The National Foundation for many years has supported through the March of Dimes the largest virus research program of its kind in the world,” Mrs. Smith stated. COTTON FACES COMPETITIVE MARKET The future of cotton on the na tional market rests on the atti tudes of farmers and ginners in maintaining the quality of the fiber, says Richard Long, Ex tension marketing specialist.

HERMAN TALMADGE ft^&l^Reporfs From n fl W WASHINGTON pilWlfclWil MUtM ......— . .........it— A REPORT BY economists of the Department of Agriculture graphically points up the urgency of early action by Congress to write a new farm program.

They forecast a continuing decline in the number of farms, further increases in farm produc tion costs and accumulation of greater surpluses and held out lit tle hope for any significant in crease in farm prices. It was their opinion that only one out of 10 male farm youths could look for ward to operating a farm earning as much as $5,000 a year and that more than the present one-third of farm families would have to look to nonfarm income to balance their budgets. • • • IT IS THUS obvious that con tinuation of the present program would be disastrous to our agri cultural economy and that the na tional interest demands bold, de cisive action to put the farmer back on his feet. Toward that end I have this week introduced for the third time since I became a member of the Senate my farm bill which en visions a free-enterprise agricul tural program with three objec tives —(1) to let the farmer farm, (2) to guarantee the farmer his proportionate share of the na tional income and (3) to place American agricultural commodi ties back on the world markets at competitive prices.

Fleming Highsmith of Jacksonville, Fla., will be the speaker at the fifth Sunday Fel lowship Service at the Raybon Advent Christian Church, it is announced by Albert Purdom, church clerk.

Georgia farmers used 450,000 tons of lime last year, according to Extension Agronomist J. R. Johnson at the University of Georgia College of Agriculture. accomplished by freeing the farm er to plant and sell as he pleases and supporting him in the amount of the difference between the price he receives for basic commodities grown for consumption in this country and 100 per cent of parity. A feature of my revised bill is a provision to liquidate the farm surplus by allowing farmers who agree to put their land into con servation practices to sell the equivalent of their domestic pro duction quotas from surplus stocks held by the Federal Gov ernment. • • * THE PREMISES OF the Tal madge Farm Plan are that there is no justification for the Govern ment to be in the business of buy ing, transporting, storing and selling farm commodities and that the only reason for having a farm program is to increase farm in come. It would restore the re sponsibility for marketing to the farmer and private enterprise where it belongs and can best be handled and would seek to chan nel every farm program dollar into the pockets of the farmers themselves. The American standard of liv ing is the highest in the world and to deny the American farmer legislative protection in the en joyment of it would amount to putting him into direct competi tion with farmers in countries where living standards are minute fractions of our own and to make of him a virtual peon in a land of plenty. It is my earnest hope that my bill will prove to be a basis for deliberations resulting in new farm legislation to give the farmer the protection he de serves and has a right to expect
