EGG RECORD
SYSTEM ENDS
FIRST YEAR
Seventy-three Georgia egg pro
ducers have just completed the first
of a new record keeping program
that is designed to help them im
prove management practices.
Started Jan. 1, 1963, the system
is called the Georgia Egg Produc
tion Record Program. A total of 140
flocks participated in the program
last year.
Jerry Cox, Cooperative Extension
Service poultryman at the Universi
ty of Georgia, gives statewide super
vision to the program. He said it has
two other purposes, in addition to
helping producers improve their
management.
The program is attempting to es
tablish a standardized, uniform sys
tem of record keeping. It also aims
at providing poultrymen with detail
ed information on production per
formance and major costs of pro
duction.
“Records.” Mr. Cox said, “make
it possible to evaluate various phases
of a business operation, and in most
instances they are the motivating
factor initiating changes in a pro
gram. I like to think of production
and financial records as traffic lights
for a farm business. They tell pro
ducers when to go, when to proceed
with caution, and when to stop.”
Mr. Cox continued that Georgians
have made a business of egg pro
duction, and they realize the impor
tance of complete and accurate re
cords.
12-Month School Year
Seems More Important
We are a lot less worried about
whether the school teachers punch
the clock for an eight-hour day than
we are about the loss of three months
a year.
We follow tradition that calls for
a three-month vacation for students
and teachers. The school buildings
stand idle for three months, and
more are built to accomodate the
ever-growing school population.
We believe most teachers spend
more than eight hours a day work
ing for the school system. Some do
eight hours at school and two or
three more at home at night. We
believe teachers are lucky and smart
if they can do the job properly in
eight hours.
Some day we are going to have to
cast off the shackles of tradition in
this matter of Lie three-months va
cation. We talk about accelerating
the school program, but we throw
the brakes on every June 1 and turn
off the motor for three months.
There are many students who need
the three months instruction very
much; they sit at home or roam the
streets when they should be trying
to catch up. The bright students
could be moving forward at a more
rapid pace and be better prepared
for college work.
Vocational classes stop along with
other instruction, while industry ap
peals for skilled people to fill jobs.
What business can afford to take
a three-months vacation every year
— to close up for a fourth of their
income-producing time? Is running a
school system any different? Only
taxpayers can afford the luxury,
and the taxpayers are going to wake
up some day and decide to get a
full year’s performance from their
school systems

Improving Our Schools
The Governor’s Master Plan for
Education has already been felt by
teachers who hive received raises
retroactive to Jan. 1, 1964, but the
program of improvements will not
get fully underway until the new
school year beginning July 1.
In preparation for the new school
year, the Appling County Board of
Education elected teachers this week,
but some 20-odd teachers were re
elected subject to their qualifying by
Sept. 1 to teach in the field tor which
they were trained.
The State Department of Educa
tion has already ruled that 94 per
cent of all Georgia teachers must
teach next year in fields for which
they are qualified. Next year the
percentage will be higher as more
teachers become available.
A public school building plan cast
ing $55 million will provide 2,500 new
classrooms, Gov. Carl Sanders an
nounced yesterday. The state’s tele
vision system will also be completed
immediately and s7l million will
go into construction of college build
ings and facilities
Additional trade schools are sche
duled for immediate construction and
the expansion of vocational training
in high schools is contemplated. The
State Board of Education is already
studying minimum standards for pub
lic schools and the consolidation of
schools where needed.
Appling County has had the fore
sight to improve its school plants
and facilities for both races and
compared to many areas of the state
is in a good position. Other facilities
will be needed, but the county should
be in strong position to move for
ward as additional facilities are pro
vided.
Gov. Sanders is to be commended
for his leadership along with the
General Assembly in supporting his
program. The State Department of
Education is cooperating fully in
carrying out the new program and
as it unfolds every citizen of Georgia
will be proud of the forward steps
taken by his state.

Amended Safety
Responsibility
Law Explained
ATLANTA — Georgia’s more than
two million motorists are being call
ed upon by the Director of the Geor
gia Department of Public Safety to
familiarize themselves with the more
stringent state Safety Responsibility
law which went into effect March 15.
Strenghened by the recent Legis
lature, the law provides for the su
pension of licenses and registrations
of drivers and owners involved in
accidents or convicted of moving
traffic violations if they cannot show
proof they can pay for damage caus
ed to other motorists, Colonel H. Low
ell Conner explained this week.
“The amended law,” he noted,
“gives increased protection to every
one in Georgia” against financially
irresponsible owners or operators,
and promotes traffic safety by aid
ing the state in removing accident
prone drivers and law violators from
the highways.
The highlights of the law are ex
plained in a leaflet prepared by the
Department of Public Safety. Copies
may be obtained when purchasing
the 1964 registration plates. Those
who already have purchased their
1964 plates can obtain the leaflet
where they purchased their license
plates.
Under the revised law, the oper
ator of every car involved in an
accident in which there has been
death or injury, or property damage
of SIOO or more to any one vehicle
or other property involved, must file
a written report with the Department
of Public Safety within 10 days or
face suspension of his driver’s li
cense.
If involved in such an accident,
the operator and owner of the ve
hicle will have his license and re
gistrations suspended until:
(1) He posts security covering
combined damages for person
al injuries and property da
mage resulting from the ac
cident and gives proof of fin
ancial responsibility for the fu
ture (security and financial re
sponsibility can be in the form
of automobile liability insur
ance coverage in the minimum
amounts of SIO,OOO where one
person is injured or killed,
$20,000 where more than one,
and $5,000 for property dam
age); or
(2) Three years have elapsed
since the suspension date and
no legal action for damages
arising out of the accident has
been taken; or
(3) there is a final adjudication
of non-liability, a duly acknow
ledged written agreement to
compensate for the injuries and
damages, or a release from li
ability.
Suspension of licenses and regis
trations of operator and owner for
as long as three years can result
if a person fails to comply with the
security and future proof provisions
of the Safety Responsibility Law af
ter an accident.
A person must show he has finan
cial responsibility (has in effect mo
tor vehicle liability insurance or is
qualified as a self-insurer) upon his
first conviction of a moving traffic
violation, including such violations
as running a red light or stop sign
or making an improper turn. If con
victed of a second moving traffic
violation within one year, he must
file proof of financial responsibility
for the future before he will be al
lowed to drive.
When proof of financial responsi
bility for the future is required for
any reason, it must be maintained
for one year. The second time any
TIMBER SALE TAX
SAVINGS ARE CITED
Most Georgia farmers and wood
land owners make timber sales so
infrequently that they often over
look income tax advantages.
That opinion was expressed this
week by George D. Walker, Cooper
ative Extension Service forester at
the University of Georgia.
Mr. Walker urged tree growers to
investigate every avenue of tax sa
ving.
“The first point to remember,” he
said, “is that the capital gains treat
ment may be applied to most timber
sales. This alone will cut taxes to
at least half what they will be if
the sale is treated as ordinary in
come."
The Extension forester continued
that the cost of making the sale, as
well as certain other costs, may be
considered expense. Mr. Walker said
this “certainly will help financially.”
In many cases, he said, there are
costs and expenses that have been
capitalized. He called these costs
“depletion allowances,” and added:
“As each sale is made, a certain
portion of this depletion allowance
may be deducted from the income.”
Mr. Walker said food records on
the woodland enterprise is the se
cret to tax savings.
He admitted that all the necessary
calculations may not be as simple
as the farmer would like. He sug
gested that the services of both a
tax consultant and a forester might
be in order, and added: “Usually,
money spent in this manner is a
wise investment.”
The Extension worker pointed out
that local tax officials or county a
gents can furnish details regarding
taxes from woodland sales.
Doc MAG
Says
By the Medical
Association of Georgia
The hernia is one of man’s oldest
and commonest afflictions. Simply
defined, a hernia is a protrusion of
a structure from its usual site into
an area where it is not normally
found. The term “rupture” is often
used for “hernia,” but “rupture”
implies a sudden bursting or tear
ing of tissues and this is seldom
the case in hernia.
In both men and women, hernias
are most frequently found in the
groin or inguinal region. Other fre
quent sites are around the navel,
in the diaphragm and other areas
within the abdominal cavity.
Hernias are either congenial —
that is, occurring from birth — or
acquired — that is, having developed
over the years. They are very com
mon in infants and children and
and hernia operations are among the
most often performed on persons in
these age groups. These hernias in
infants and children are slight de
fects in development. A small bal
loon-like sac in the groin fails to
close. This allows the bowel to pro
trude from the abdominal cavity
through the opening. These hernias
are usually treated by surgery. The
correction consists of removing the
sac and, at times, narrowing the
opening through which the sac has
protruded. Children undergoing this
type of surgery are usually up and
out of bed the day following the
operation.
In the adult, however, the cond
ition is not so simple. The infantile
or congenital type of hernia is found
in the adult but it is often com
plicated by weakness of the suppor
ting tissues in the lower abdominal
wall. This weakness progresses as
one gets older. Sometimes the wal]
which should provide support be
comes frayed, much like the elbow
of a muchly worn coat. The few
remaining fibers cannot support the
pressure within the abdominal cav
ity and bulging occurs.
In such cases, more extensive sur
gery than removal of a sac is re
quired and the recurrence rate in
this type of hernia is much higher
than in the uncomplicated congen
ital type. In some cases the surgeon
is forced to shift tissues from a
neighboring site to cover the weak
ened area. On rare occasions he has
to use artificial support, such as
wire or plastic meshes, to strength
en the abdominal wall.
The earlier a hernia is repaired,
the greater the likelihood of obtain
ing a permanent cure.
Surgery is usually the best treat
ment for hernias in the groin. The
use of. trusses is still widespread
but, as a rule, the practice isn’t
effective. Furthermore, the practice
can be dangerous if the truss pinch
es the bowel.
Navel hernias are different from
those found in the groin. There is
usually a sac similar to the sac in
the groin type of hernia but navel
hernias often correct themselves in
early childhood. For this reason, sur
geons often delay corrective opera
tions in the hope this will happen.
The diaphragmatic hernia, which
used to be called “upside down stom
ach," seldom requires surgical re
pair. In this condition, the opening
through which the esophagus pass
es through the diaphragm widens
because of the stress and weakness

Completion Scheduled
For World's Largest
Unfinished Sculpture
Stone Mountain, Ga. — Stone cut
ter George Weiblen began work to
day on engineering preparations ne
cessary to complete the carving on
the world’s largest sculpture, loca
ted at Stone Mountain Memorial
Park (16 miles east of Atlanta, Ga.).
Mr. Weiblen estimates that within
72 working days, carving can be
resumed on the huge figures of Gen
erals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson and Confederate President
Jefferson Davis. Internationally
known sculptor, Walker Hancock
will supervise the carving.
On about May Ist, Mr. Weiblen
will resume the work he was forced
to abandon 25 years ago, having
been in charge of cutting out the
unfinished figures under sculptor
Augustus Lukeman. Initial prepara
tions will require the construction
of wooden steps from the mountain
top safety fence to the steel beams
jutting out above the sculpture and
the erection of a 229-foot steel ele
vator tower for hoisting men and
materials from the ground.
It is estimated that the sculpture
will require about three years for
completion, at a cost of approxi
mately one million dollars.
The project now underway marks
the third attempt to complete a
the north face of Stone Mountain, the
world’s largest granite monolith.
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who later
went on to carve the busts of four
presidents at Mt. Rushmore, par

25. His sculpture had to be aban

man, met with the same predica

his crew worked for several extra
days in the autumn of 1928, hoping
additional funds could be found to
finish the project. However, the de
pression soon followed and the car
ving could not be resumed.
The sculpture at Stone Mountain
measures 138 feet in height, com
pared with the ancient Sphynx of
Egypt, 66 feet high and the heads
of the presidents at Mt. Rushmore,
60 feet high.
Mr. Hancock, who won a compe

Memorial Association in 1962 when
he competed against eight other
world-famous sculptors, has just re
turned from Rome, Italy, where he

College Costs Expected
To Soar in Coming Years
The cost of a college education,
now running from SI,OOO to $3,000 a
year, is continuing upward at the
rate of about 5 percent to 7 percent
annually, according to Changing
Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. An
article in the current issue estimates
that the cost of four years of col
lege for a youngster now in the six
th grade will range at least between
$14,000 and SIB,OOO and “probably
much more.”
For a student headed for college
this year, annual costs are likely to
be $2,000 or more, the magazine
points out. At any well-known pri
vate college the figure might run
over $3,000 a year. At a state uni
versity it could be as little as sl,-
000.
But by 1965, these costs might
well run around $2,500 at public in
stitutions, $3,500 at private colleges;
and by 1970, the figures could be
around $3,600 and $4,600.
“In the face of those staggering
figures, will you be ab’e to afford
to send your child to college?” the
magazine asks. “The answer lies in
how early you begin to prepare and
how thoroughly you explore all the
ways there are of dealing with the
money probelm.”
Most families, according to the ar
ticle, tend to make these four mis
takes in dealing with the question
of college costs: they underestimate
expenses; they are unrealistic about
their ability to pay; they give too
little attention to low-cost education
opportunities; they get started too
late.
If, when the time comes, term
bills are a serious problem, the
most convenient way to deal with
them probably will be by borrowing,
the article continues. Two types of
loans — those that are long-term,
low interest and usually based on
need, and the new commercial in
stallment loans — will help many
families whose funds are insufficient
for college costs.
The most popular loans, the maga
zine reports, are offered through col
leges under the National Defense Ed
ucation Act. The maximum loan is
SI,OOO a year, although the average
lent is SSOO. Both repayment of prin
cipal and the 3 percent interest be
gin a year after the student leaves
college, and he has ten years to
pay.
Installment loan plans are spring
ing up all the time, and though rates
are still somewhat high, competi
tion is expected to bring them down.
Many colleges offer installment pro
grams as a convenience and others
may do so in the future. In the
meantime, a Changing Times survey
turned up well over 100 banks and
several finance companies that have
educational installment plans, and
nearly 100 others that are consider
ing them.
Another way suggested by the mag
azine to handle college costs is
through a combined term insurance
prepayment program, similar to the
installment plan except that the pay
ments begin before the student en
ters college, say the spring before,
or much earlier. Thus parents really
are not borrowing, but budgeting for
college. Typical costs include: $25 en
try fee, 50 cent monthly service
charge, and insurance premiums of
about $1 per month per SI,OOO. To
tal cost for budgeting $4,000 at the
rate of SI,OOO a year could be a
round $250.

•Price comparison based on manufacturers* suggested retail prices/,
pay for college, of course, is to put
the money aside over the years, pre
ferably in a secure place and at a
good interest rate,” the article con
tinues. Among the plans suggested
are cash savings accounts, savings
bonds and stocks. A monthly depos
it of $27.40 at 4 percent interest in
a bank, savings and loan associa
tion or credit union would yield $4,-
000 in ten years. $18.75 per month
in U. S. Savings E bonds would
yield $4,461 in 15 years. “Because
of their initial slow growth, bonds
should not be used in a short-term
program,” the magazine cautions.
As for stocks, the article advises
that carefully selected common
stocks or an investment trust can
be used as part of a savings plan.
If investments are wise and if,
when the time comes to sell, prices
are right, they will provide the best
possible hedge against inflation and
rising education costs. “But stocks
are unpredictable and a poorly con
ceived investment program can be
disastrous. Don’t use stocks, and par
ticularly mutual funds, for short
term savings. Don’t rely on stocks
as your only means of saving for
college.”
Success depends on getting started
early and keeping at it regularly,
the article notes. “A good way to dis
cipline yourself is to set a specific
goal _ so much to be accumulated
by the year your child enters col
lege,” then exercising the necessary
will power to make regular payments
toward the goal.
Film on Watersheds

The 18 minute color film places
emphasis on the fact that a water
shed program is a local program,
locally initiated and locally planned
and operated, Shirley said. He point
ed out that the film depicts water
shed uses for not only those who
live in the watershed but also for
those who live in the nearby cities
and urban areas. The film cites the
watershed as contributing to the
health and economic welfare of ev
