Planning Necessary for Economic
Development, Commission Is Told
“Every community is interested
in economic development, or in the
creation of new jobs that will bolster
the economy, but we need to recog
nize the economic development is de
pendent on careful advance plan
ning,’’ is the advice given by Bob
Stuebing, Planning Director for the
Georgia Department of Industry and
Trade.
He made this observation as prin
cipal speaker at the monthly meet
ing of the Slash Pine Area Plan
ning and Development Commission
here Thursday night.
Stuebing discussed planning as
pects of local as well as area de
velopment, stressing that a “well
planned community is more attrac
tive to prospective industry.”
He invited questions from the di
rectors of the commission, as well
as visiting city and county officials
attending the meeting, as a means
of assisting the recently organized
group in understanding the wide
scope of an area planning program.
Stuebing left no doubt in the minds
of the area representatives that con
tinued progress in the Southeast
Georgia area will depend to a large
extent on the effectiveness of the
“planning” phase of the commis
sion’s work program.
He urged that “a permanent pro
fessional planning staff is essential.”
The speaker was introduced by
Bob Symonette of the Georgia Power
Company who also participated in
the discussion on the commission’s
organizational activities.
It was the consensus of the meet
ing that January Ist should be the
target date for the opening of pro
fessional activities for the area.
Dr. Dan Jardine, Douglas, Com
mission Chairman, announced that
all committees will be expected to
meet during the coming month and
be prepared for their first reports at
the next meeting to be held on Tues
day night, August 27th, in Douglas.
Officers of the Commission include
Doctor Jardine as Chairman, George

Tobacco Inspection
Act Passed in 1935
Official grading and market
news services aid the tobacco
farmer in comparing the price
offered for his grade of tobacco
with the current market price for
similar grade tobacco.
Tobacco inspection and market
news services are authorized by
the Tobacco Inspection Act, pass
ed by Congress in August 1935,
Both services are provided by the
Tobacco Division of USDA’s Ag
ricultural Marketing Service,
which is observing the 50th An
niversary of USDA marketing
services this year.
Shortly before a tobacco sale
starts, it is the job of a Federal
inspector to examine each lot,
or basket, of tobacco. The inspect
or grades the tobacco according
to official U. S. Standards, and
enters the grade, date, and his
initials on the basket ticket. This
then becomes the certificate of
grade for that lot of tobacco.
Inspectors will be using new
U. S. standards for flue-cured to
bacco for the first time this year.
The revised standards were de
signed to place more emphasis on
maturity and leaf structure as
grade determinants.
Under the Tobacco Inspection
Act, free and mandatory inspect
ion service is provided on those
markets which have been design
ated for the service by the Sec
retary of Agriculture, following
a favorable referenda of growers
selling on the markets.
Goldwater Talks on Phony Liberals
And Big City Political Machines
Following are excerpts from
an address by Senator Barry
Goldwater (Rep.), of Arizona, be
fore the Young Republican Na
tional Convention in San Fran
cisco, June 27, 1963:
Perhaps the most disturbing
and dangerous fact about modern
“liberals” is that they are not
really “liberals” at all, by any
generally understood standards.
They have betrayed the very
standards they profess. They use
the standard of “liberalism” to
deceive people of good will into
believing that the idealism of
the “liberals” of 50 years ago —
the inspired reformers, for ex
ample, who won the vote for
women — is the same as these
“liberals.”
Now, years ago there were
evils in this country which de
manded some attention. There
are defects in our society today
which we dare not ignore. And
“liberals” of 50 years ago fought
some of those evils with sacrifice
and an admirable sense of dedi
cation.
But where are those self-sacri
ficing and dedicated “liberals” to
day?
Do you find them wintering in
the great mansions of Palm
Beach? Do you find them sum
mering in the great mansions of
Hyannis Port?
Mind you, I don't believe that
the possession of a great family
fortune necessarily precludes the
possibility of idealism. It just
makes it a little harder to come
by.
Fifty years ago, there were
some great “liberals” in this
country — “liberals” like Lin
coln Steffens, who led a cam
paign to clean up the moral and
political corruption of our big
cities.
They led a fight to destroy the
corrupt city political machines
which lived off graft and hidden
connections with vice and crime.
These men were genuine “lib
erals.” They really believed in
what they were doing. They led
a genuine fight to break the
power of these corrupt, big-city
political machines whose power
had become so great they could
dominate whole State and nation
al party organizations.
The evil growth of these sin
ister big-city machines was like
a cancer inside the body politic.
It was well known that their ten
tacles reached deep into the
offices of the Governors of great
States, and even into the halls
of Congress. The White House
itself was not immune to these
influences.
Now, I ask you to look at the
situation today.
♦ * *
It is sometimes charged that
big-city politicians of the North
who constitute the chief base
of modern “liberal” j political
strength also pay off political fa
vors to criminal elements in the
big cities, through a selective en
forcement of the law.
Some people whose politics are
not considered “right” find the
laws are enforced against them
with the greatest severity.
Others, whose politics are helpful
to the ruling machine, can oper
ate “wide open,” without regard
for the law.
In Chicago, they went a step
further. Everyone knows that
some of the city police under
the rule of the corrupt Cook
County machine became them
selves so corrupt they went into
actual competition with the crim
inals.
Now, the corruption of the po
litical machines in the big cities
of the North is well known. It
is no secret. It is one of the great
scandals of American politics. It
is one of the worst evils on the
American scene.
But have you heard any of the
so-called “liberals” in the Nation
al Administration condemning
this wholesale corruption? No,
you have not. And why do they
keep silent?
Fifty years ago, American “lib
erals” were fierce in their attacks
on these evil big-city machines
with their deadly and growing
influence which had spread
through the whole American po
litical system from the munici
palities right up through Con
gress itself, and even into the
White House.
What about today?
No one can deny that the
Northern big-city machines are
more powerful than ever. No
one can deny that their evil in
fluence is greater than ever be
fore in history.
Where are the self-styled “lib
erals” of today?
How do we account for the
deafening silence among the mo
dem “liberals” with regard to
this paramount national evil, this
national disgrace?
How is it that this evil which
50 years ago inspired a flood of
“liberal” pamphlets and books,
which led to national crusades
and fervent speeches across the
land — how is it that this evil,
now far worse, far more pervas
ive, far more influential than
ever before — is greeted by ab
solute silence on the part of the
modern “liberals”?
The cause of this silence is
clear and unmistakable.
I charge that there .is today a
cynical alliance between the poli
ticians who call themselves “lib
eral” and the corrupt big-city
machines whose job it is to de
liver the bloc votes of the big
Northern cities. It is the corrupt
big-city machines which elect
these men to public office.
I charge that the politicians
who have inherited the tradition
of “liberalism” in this country
today are not “liberals” at all,
but merely ambitious men who
have become the captives of the
big-city machines.
These ambitious men know
that the tradition of liberalism
in this country demands that
they carry on an appearance of
righteous crusades, but, as cap
tives of the big-city machines of
the North, they can now carry on
only those few token crusades
that actually tend to strengthen
the big-city machines.
It is a fact that they dare not
attack in any way the evil forces
that generate the power of these
city machines of the North —
least of all the profound and
spreading evil of the corrupt ma
chine itself.
I charged the “liberal” politici
ans of this country with moral
bankruptcy.
Narrow as the “liberal” vision
may be, obsessed as it now is
with economic solutions to all
problems, there once were some
noble elements in liberalism be
fore the modern “liberals” be
came the captives of the big-city
machines.
But now they are not even
“liberals”!
They are only allowed an oc
casional sham crusade which will
support the political needs of the
big-city machines, whose cap
tives they are.
They have now become the
phony “liberals.”
And just because they are
phony “liberals,” they have be
come extremely dangerous.
Conscious of the very question
able claim they have to the title
of “liberal,” they are tempted
into bringing into a fierce heat
those few problem areas where
their political owners allow
them, from time to time, to
make a “liberal” show.
Yes, in those last remaining
few areas where they have not
sold out completely, they find
it necessery to create a tremen
dous furor so their absence in
the really critical “liberal” areas
will not be so noticeable.
Perhaps the saddest thing a
bout American politics is this
“liberal” bankruptcy. In spite of
other very severe shortcomings,
it could at least be said, several
generations ago, that there was
still a residue of idealism among
the “liberals.”
Now, we see only machine
politicians bringing out as a mat
ter of ritual — as away of de
ceiving the voter — the tattered
but honorable flags of yester
day’s liberalism —a liberalism
which they no longer under
stand, even in limited form. It is
this moral bankruptcy of the
“liberal” politicians which is
causing the young people to
move toward the Republican
Party. For we are the only par
ty in this country free of politi
cal obligations to the big-city
machines.
The stern, cold fact is that no
Democrat can be elected to na
tional office today who is not un
der deep and unbreakable obli
gation to the corrupt big-city
machines.
This is the cold, chilling fact a
bout the so-called “liberals” of
the North. They cannot break out
of this bondage. The modern “li
berals” have made this alliance
with the corrupt city machines
ond the price is no less than their
‘liberalism” itself. They cannot
go back down this road. They
have bartered their ideals in or
der to gain and keep political
power.
This was the death of any gen
uine “liberal” movement. It was
the beginning of the reign of the
hard - bitten opportunists who
have preserved only the “liberal”
label.
Because sensitive “liberals”
are aware of the political dead
end of “liberalism” in this coun
try, they are no longer going into
the leadership of the Democratic
Party as they once did. In their
place are the cynical opportunists
who are quite comfortable in
their alliance with the big-city
politicians. They are satisfied just
to make a show of their apparent
“liberalism” from time to time.
These opportunists hope to cap
ture a few marginal votes among
people who still doggedly keep
some hope for “liberal” politics,
in the face of all the facts.
There has developed a great
confusion in the use of the terms
“liberal” and “conservative” in
this country. One of the major
reasons for this confusion, in my
view, is that the “liberal” politi
cians in this country have ceas
ed to be “liberal” within any cus
tomary meaning of this term.
And the term “conservative” has
been so carefully smeared by a
generation of “liberal” propagan
dists that they have made it
sound like the word “reaction
ary.”
And this brings me to one
other aspect of modern “libera
lism.”
I am referring now to its in
tellectual bankruptcy. I am re
ferring now to the fact that "li
beralism” has lost its bearings.
“Liberalism” has lost its central
idea. “Liberalism” has lost its
core of meaning. In a word,
“liberalism” has degenerated in
tellectually into a vague, mushy
kind of sentimentality.
It is time we realized more
clearly that the modern “li
berals” who are hopelessly con
fined to an economic view of
man, who are the helpless cap
tives of the big-city machines of
the north, are not only morally
bankrupt but they are also in
tellectually bankrupt.
They have not had a new idea
in 30 years.
They are dead and finished.
They are sterile and rigid.
Modern “liberalism” is only a
form of rigor mortis. The old,
respectable — sometimes noble
— liberalism of 50 years ago is
gone for good.
Commercial Forest
Land in Georgia
Shows Big Increase
MACON — During the past twen
ty-five years, the area of commer
cial forest land in Georgia has in
creased AM million acres for a gain
of 21%, according to findings in an
exhaustive forest survey.
H. E. Ruark, Director of Georgia
Forest Research Council, said the
increase was revealed in a report re
leased this week by the Southeastern
Forest Experiment Station of the
U. S. Forest Service.
The report showed that most of
the increase was in the Piedmont a
rea, where planting and natural re
seeding of pine have taken over
large areas of former crop land.
The survey, coordinated by the
Georgia Forest Research Council,
and conducted by the U. S. Forest
Service with cooperation from the
Georgia Forestry Commission, forest
industries and related businesses, re
vealed that farm woodlands offer the
greatest opportunities to increase
timber growth.
Farmers own over 15 million acres
of commercial forest land in Georgia
and growing conditions on these
lands are only slightly less favorable
than those on forest industry lands,
according to the study. Georgia now
has 25,772,200 acres of commercial
forest land, and Clinch County leads
the state with 496,000 acres. Clinch
County also leads the state in volume
of pine timber, but Camden County
leads in volume of all species of
timber.
Five million acres of low land sites
provide the state with high quality
hardwood and another five million
acres are well stocked with pine.
The report showed that nearly four
million Georgia acres have virtu
ally no growth potential at the pre
sent time and rehabilitation prac
tices are needed.
WHY ADD VITAMIN D?
Vitamin D is added to milk
because it helps the body use
calcium and phosphorus, ex
plains Miss Lucile Higginbotham,
Cooperative Extension Service
health specialist. In recent years,
she says, the use of vitamin D
milk and vitamin D concentrates
for infants and children has
greatly reduced the number of
cases of rickets.
