State Department of Education
HERE’S THE WAY THE
RAISE GOES — The teachers,
who get a S3OO annual raise next
year, will begin to get $25 more
with their July checks. The bus
drivers, who get a S2OO annual
raise, will get all of theirs this
summer in two checks, SIOO for
July and SIOO for August.
DOWN TO BUSINESS —
Here’s one of the best things the
Department of Education has
planned lately: a business cen
ter in each of the Congressional
districts, whereby 25 0 school
graduates can take 8 weeks of
intensive business training this
summer. That means that busi
ness and industry throughout
Georgia will have available 250
topflight secretaries this fall.
Each class will be limited to
25 students. An expert teacher
and the latest in business .ma
chines will give these recent
high school graduates a chance
to get the very best in business
techniques. Dalton Drennan is
head of our business education
service, and is assisted by Miss
Faye Pilkenton and Dr. Zenobia
Liles.
FRIEND FOR THE LITTLE
FELLOWS — Mrs. William
Gregory from the State Depart
ment of Education will be work
ing with the school systems that
plan programs for the trainable
children. These are the little
fellows whose IQ’s are so low
that they cannot learn in the
regular school program, and can
only be trained to do simple
things. Mrs.'Gregory, whose hus
band is in the cafeteria business
in Atlanta, worked with pro
grams like this in Illinois and
Wisconsin. She has the literate
mind and the loving heart, and
she will be a wonderful help
to the schools that are planning
to do something for these child
ren of the shadows.
ORCHIDS TO THESE PEO
PLE FOR GOOD JOBS — Ruth
Waters for a fine job of teach
ing Georgia history up at Gaines
ville . . . Pete Donaldson for
his warmhearted wonderfulness
in being the kind of president
at ABAC who is personally in
terested in each student and
takes time to listen to them . . .
Cliff Hale in Dalton who relates
his school to his community and
its textile industry so that both
appreciate the other . . . Oswell
and Kitty Smith who have lov
ed and helped their community
down at Patterson as ag and
homemaking teacher for many
years . . . Kathleen Wimberly
at Rome who is always looking
for ways in which an instruction
al supervisor can brighten and
better the lives of teachers . . .
Annette Braselton who works
with the children over in the
Jefferson area to find out why
they are not in school and how
she can help them when they
are . . . Martha Jones at Colum
bus, whose fine character as a
person is an eloquent and re
memberable a s anything she
could possibly teach her stu
dents out of a book.
FUTURE TEACHERS WORTH
$300,000 — Do you have a real
ly bright son or daughter who
wants to teach? We will invest
$300,000 next year in our $750
a year scholarships (SI,OOO in
cluding summer school.) They
don’t have to pay a dime of it
hack is they teach in Georgia.
Just imagine the possibility of
your brilliant child getting a Mas
ter’s degree free and using his
or her fine mind to teach in
the classrooms of Georgia. It’s
one of the best investments we
ever made in this state. If you
are interested, write the Depart
ment of Education.
IT’S THE SOLID TRUTH —
Did you know that Georgia’s
Negro school children are the
best schoolhoused children i n
the world? Many of our biggest
and most beautiful schools are
those we have built for Negro
children.
NEXT YEAR’S STATE SCH
OOL BUDGET — 184 million.
(Goes up from 170 and one half
million.)
WORK OUT THIS PUZZLE
FOR ME — I cannot fathom
the mystery of why Spanish is
the most popular foreign langu
age for the white high school
students of Georgia and French
is the most popular with Negroes.
Os the 31.401 white language
students this year 12,684 are
taking Latin; 9,902 Spanish; 8,-
491 French; 241 German; and
83 Russian. Among the 12.409
Negro high school students who
are studying languages. 10.105
are studying French; 1.458 are
studying Spanish; 72 9 Latin:
55 German; and 62 Russian.
DO YOU HAVE ONE IN
YOUR TOWN? Georgia Las 3,-
279 first grade teachers in its
schools. Some of these have been
teaching generations of the
town's children. They are teach
ing the children of the children
they loved and taught long ago.
Soon they’ll be retiring — and
thank goodness, the retirement is
OUT OF SCHOOL
much better now. What are you
planning to do for these women
who have made such a difference
to the children of your town?
Not, I hope, give them a plaque
they can’t eat or wear. Why
don’t you give your teacher a
car or a new suit or a trip to
New York or a piece of new
furniture? Think of what she
has done for your town, and
the love and learning she has
sparked there. In some town’s
she’s not just the WOMAN OF
THE YEAR, but the WOMAN
OF THE YEARS. Make it a
gladsome thing unto her that
she has loved your children and
made a difference in their lives.
“MISS AMERICA” WILL
TALK TO GEORGIA FHA’ERS
— Mary Ann Mobley, of Missis
sippi who was “Miss America” a
few years ago, will come to
Georgia to talk at the state con
vention of the Georgia Future
Homemakers in Atlanta, which
is scheduled for April 20-22. She
was once president of the Miss
issippi Future Homemakers.
MAIN QUESTION — There
should never be but one yard
stick by which to measure any
educational question: “I s this
best for the children?”
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF
BABES — Child, watching the
March winds bluster, “That vzind
sure is in a hurry.”
HONOR STUDENT — The
honoring of all these STAR Stu
dents this April-time made Dr.
Claude Purcell, state super
intendent of schools, remember
what happened once when he
was the teacher of 57 students
at a one teacher school called
View in North Georgia. (He
was later principal at Mud
Creek.) He had 7 first graders.
Eleven years later, when he
was county superintendent of
schools and handing out the di
plomas, he gave one to the honor
student. She was one of the
little first graders that he had
taught at View eleven years be
fore.
THE MYSTERIES OF HU
MAN RESPONSE — Don’t miss
Norman Cousin’s fine article in
the current Saturday Review
commending the young people
of this country for their amaz
ing response to Kennedy’s Peace
Corps Plan. People said the
young people were cynical, dis
illusioned, would not put them
selves out to help others, were
interested only in jobs with good
pay, vacations and security. Now
comes along this literate man in
the White House and appeals
to them, and the stars begin to
shine in their eyes again and
the nobleness in their hearts
rouses and responds.
WHEN MUST TEACHERS RE
TIRE? —We are always being
asked at what age teachers
MUST retire. It’s seventy. If the
superintendent is in dire need,
he may keep them to 73, but
they cannot have a contract
after 73. Some of them teach a
day or two at a time, but they
cannot accept a contract for
the year.
BIG AND LITTLE — There
are 4 of our 198 school systems
in Georgia that have 25 teachers
or fewer; and 1 that has more
than two thousand teachers.

you walk into the office of State

tractive assistant who is like

TWO KINDS OF MAMMAS —
Wise man says there are two
kinds of mammas in this world.
One puts a child’s bouquet in
a milk bottle on top of the refri
gerator. The other puts it in a
vase on the piano.
Georgia Power
To Add Huge New
Generating Unit
A $22-million generating unit
will be added to the Georgia
Power Company’s Plant Mitchell
near Albany, John J. Mc-
Donough, company president,
announced this week. The addi
tion will almost triple the instal
lation’s size and generating ca
pacity.
Completion of the new 125,000-
kilowatt unit will make the
South Georgia installation the
fifth most powerful electrical
generating station in the Georgia
Power Company’s state-wide sys
tem of 29 plants.
Presently, Plant Mitchell has
two generating units with a total
capacity of 45,000 kilowatts. The
plant became operational in 1948.
Actual construction of the ad
ditional unit will begin either
late this year or early in 1962.
Engineering studies and design
work for the unit, however, are
currently under way. Approxi
mately $250,000 will be spent on
the project this year. Engineers
have scheduled the unit to go in
to service in April, 1964.
“O u r decision t o enlarge
Plant Mitchell,” Mr. McDonough
said, “was based both on the ex
traordinary past economic growth
of the Southwest Georgia area
and on the anticipated similar
growth in the future. It is the
company’s feeling that we must
do more than merely keep pace
with a region’s growing economy;
we must have the electric po
wer and facilities ready and
waiting for that expanded eco
nomy."
The new unit, to be added to
the east side of existing plant,
will be equipped to burn coal.
The coal-handling facilities serv
ing the units in operation will
be expanded to serve the new
unit.
The additional unit will be
even more efficient than the
present ones and will operate at
a higher steam pressure and
temperature.
Plant Mitchell serves not only
as a source of electric power for
the Southwest Georgia area but
is linked with the Georgia Po
wer Company’s state-wide sys
tem of generating stations, which
supply nearly 10 billion kilowatt
hours of electricity annually to
industries, homes, farms and
businesses throughout Georgia.
Plant Mitchell is named in
honor of the late W. E. Mitchell,
president of the Georgia Power
Company from May, 1945, to
February, 1947.
GEORGIA FIRST IN PECANS
Georgia ranks first in the na
tion in production of pecans, ac
cording to R. L. Livingston, hor
ticulturist of the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service. In 1960 the state pro
duced almost 39,000,000 pounds
with a value of nearly $13,000,-
000. This is 23 percent of the
total $56,000,000 production value
in the nation.
ABAC Homecoming
Planned April 8
President Tommy M. McCol
lum of the Baldwin Alumi As
sociation has announced the An
nual Homecoming to be held at
Abraham Baldwin College on
Saturday, April 8, 1961. He and
his Board of Directors are mak
ing plans for one of the out
standing programs in the his
tory of the College. The pro
gram is being planned around
honoring Dr. George P. Donald
son who will be retiring as Pre
sident of the Abraham Baldwin
College in July. The program
will begin at 10:00 O’clock and
alumni and visitors will be kept
busy from that hour until late in
the day.
Several awards will be made
during the morning program.
Among these awards will be the
Baldwin Master Farmer Award,
given each year to the outstand
ing graduate who is engaged in
full-time farming; the Baldwin
Homemaker of the Year Award,
which is given to the outstanding
homemaker among the graduates
of the institution and the tra
ditional Grandbaby Contest for
the healthiest baby.
After a delicious barbecue
lunch, the annual business ses
sion of the Association will be
held in the Auditorium of the
Rural Life Building. At 3:00 O’-
clock on Mitchell Field, Abra
ham Baldwin College will play
South Georgia College in one
of the regular scheduled base
ball games on the season. The
remainder of the day will be
spent in fellowship followed by
an informal party for those who
remain over for the evening.
Mr. Tommy M. McCollum,
President of the Association from
Bainbridge, Georgia will be pre
siding. The other officers are:
John E. McGowan, Milledge
ville, Ist Vice-President; P. L.
Jowers, Wray, 2nd Vice-Presi
dent; and J. L. Branch, Tifton,
Executive Secretary. All grad
uates of the College are invited
to attend. Since Dr. Pete is be
ing honored on this Homecoming
occasion, a large crowd of grad
uates and friends of the College
and Dr. Pete are expected to
be in attendance.

One-fifth
of your electric bill
goes for taxes
THAT’S RIGHT. Nearly 20 cents out of every
dollar the Georgia Power Company receives
from you in payment for electric service goes
to pay our federal, state and local taxes.
In 1960 our tax bills totaled more than
$29,875,000 — nearly $82,000 for each day of
the year! This averages more than s4l for
every customer we serve.
In fact, tax payments are the company’s
largest item of expense, exceeding operating
payroll by 30 per cent.
Since taxes help to meet the cost of govern
ment, they benefit every citizen of Georgia.
Among other things, they help pay for schools
for your children, police protection for your
family and fire protection for your home.
Yes, like you, the Georgia Power Company
pays taxes —in full measure. It’s part of
being a good citizen.

Social Security for
Household Workers
While most workers and self
employed people are having
earnings credited regularly to
their social security account, this
does not apply to some people,
notably household workers. O.
L. Pope, Social Security District
Manager, announced that of the
thousands of household workers
in this area, many are not re
ceiving the social security cre
dits they have earned.
Although household employ
ment has been covered by the
social security law since 1951,
many household employers do
not know that they must report
the wages of their part-time
employees.
Mr. Pope pointed out that the
earnings of part time household
employees must be reported the
same as employees in labor and
industry. A household employee
who is paid at least SSO in cash
wages during a calendar quarter
by one employer — as little as
$4.00 a week for a three month
calendar quarter of the year —
is covered by social security;
her employer is required to re
port her wages and pay the
social security taxes due.
The Internal Revenue Service,
in cooperation with the Social
Security Administration, has de
signed a simplified procedure
for reporting the earnings of
household employees. Upon re
quest the Internal Revenue Ser
vice will put a household em
ployer on the mailing list to re
ceive the simplified self-mailer
envelope on which to report the
wages of her employees.
