ROSCOE DEAN
Dean Is For
Business Prosperity,
Small Businessman
And Consumer
State Senatorial Candidate Ros
coe Emory Dean Jr. of Jesup
declared today that the small
businessmen who supply the
goods and services that we must
have form a strong section of the
economic backbone of the Sixth
Senatorial District. These small
businessmen supply the yardstick
by which we measure the econo
mic conditions of any area. They
contribute steadly to civic, reli
gious and educational causes.
Certainly, these hard-working,
/aluable citizens deserve better
treatment from their state gov
ernment.
From 1931 to 1931 our business
men’ operated under a fair tax
bracket system. But now they
must operate on a factor formu
la which holds them responsible
if they do not collect enough tax.
Many of them cannot afford the
complicated business machinery
which replaces the factor formu
a. Some of them even have to
; et up a system of counting out
'ennies in fruit jars. AS YOUR
NEW STATE SENATOR I WILL
YORK TO SOLVE THIS PROB
LEM AND FIGHT FOR FAIR
PROFITS AND FULL PROTEC
TION OF THE FREE ENTER
PRISE SYSTEM FOR OUR BUS
INESSMEN.
Let me remind HOUSEWIVES
XND CONSUMERS that fair pro
mts for businessmen mean good
□rices for CONSUMERS. And
’.hat is another reason I am fight
ing for lower taxes. Far too much
of the price of goods and ser
vices nowadays goes for taxes.
Centralized government, the
creeping paralysis of commerce,
is saddling some choking controls
on our businessmen, telling them
how to run their business, and
all the time exacting a heavy
tax toll on them. We MUST throw
off this yoke of government dic
tation. I intend to lead the fight
as YOUR NEW STATE SENA
TOR for local-self government
and lower taxes. We need to ap
ply old-fashioned thrift to the op
eration of state government. I
WILL NOT BE A YES MAN.
Your vote and influence will be
appreciated and your confidence
will be justified. (Adv.)
TENNILLE GROWER
SAYS GOOD SEED
BASIC TO PROFIT
A. L. Hartley and his son,
Rufus, of Tennille, believe in
the use of good seed for all
crops, including pastures, Hugh
A. Inglis, an agronomist of the
University of Georgia Cooper
ative Extension Service, re
ported this week.
The Hartleys operate a 510-
acre farm with cotton, com,
peanuts, oats, wheat and pas
tures. They have 148 head of
cattle. They produce wheat
seed in the Georgia Crop Im
orovement Association program.
Mr. Hartley and his son con
sider soil testing and the use
of recommended amounts of
lime and fertilizer as being
basic to their farming opera
tions, the agronomist said.
They use a 5-10-15 mixed fer
tilizer, varying the amount
per acre to suit the crop being
grown, and apply additional
nitrogen as needed.
Their crops consist of 65 ac
res of cotton, 45 acres of corn,
60 acres of peanuts, 175 acres
of oats and 25 acres of wheat.
They plant soybeans after the
’’rain is harvested. Two-hundred
acres are in improved pas
tures.
Mr. Inglis pointed out that
the cotton crop was given 500
pounds of fertilizer and 60
pounds of nitrogen per acre.
The peanuts, oats and wheat
received 400 pounds of fertili
zer and oats and wheat were
top dressed with 50 pounds of
nitrogen per acre. The pastures
received the same fertilizer
and nitrogen as the corn and
-*rain crops.
Varieties produced are Caro
lina Queen cotton, Dixie 18
corn, Argentine peanuts, More
grain oats and Georgia 1123
wheat.
Mr. Inglis stated that “this
father-son partnership is doing
some real good farming and
they believe in the use of su
perior varieties and hybrids
with high purity and high ger
mination.”
TECHNICAL TRAINING OFFERED
Vo-tech Program Boosts
Job Prospects for Many
Georgia is having trouble with
the most different kind of drop
out in history— students being
'ured away from the new, tuition
free, vocational-technical schools
even before they complete their
courses. Industry needs them and
is offering them good money.
Those who finish the courses
are stepping into good paying
jobs beyond their best dreams!
Lowest beginning salary offered
boys who recently finished a two
year course in electronic techno
logy at the Athens Area Voca
tional-Technical School is $95 a
week. Most of the boys had their
pick of at least six different jobs.
Members of the class were in
terviewed by 10 different organi
zations seeking their services.
The Athens program will be
moved into new area vo-tech
facilities during the next year.
Twelve schools are already open
ed in modern new facilities
throughout the state. Three more
will open late this summer.
Twenty-eight are planned. They
are jointly financed by the state
and local communities. Several
'ocal school systems can go to
gether to have one of these
schools. The program was set up
three years ago by the State De
partment of Education through
its division of vocational educa
tion.
Dr. Claude Purcell, state sup
erintendent of schools, said, “The
training will be available to
every Georgian when our pro
gram is complete. It not only
means much to the individual,
but it is also a magnet to lure
new business to Georgia and to
erve the industries already
existing here.”
Visitors come from over the na
tion almost daily to look at the
program in operation. The de
partment gets hundreds of let
ters inquiring about it. Jack Nix,
who is director of the vocational
education division, and W. M.
Hicks, supervisor of Trade and
Industrial Education (the pro
gram under which the new
schools operate), have been in
vited to speak in many other
states about the schools.
Georgia has for some years
had two state vocational-techni
cal schools, one at Clarkesville
for North Georgia students and
one at Americus for South Geor
gia students. These two have
dormitory facilities. The new
schools do not. These will be
within driving distance of practi
cally everybody in Georgia.
The largest one will be the six
million dollar school in Atlanta,
which will offer about fifty
courses. It will open in 1965, and
when its doors swing open, the
program as planned now will be
complete. However, other local
groups are already asking for
more of the schools. Those now
in operation are at Albany (2),
Augusta, Valdosta, Marietta,
Rome, Columbus (2), Thomas
ville (2), DeKalb County, and
Swainsboro. The three that will
open in September are a Augus
ta, Moultrie, and Thomaston.
Others that will be opened next
year are at Griffin (2), Macon
(2), Savannah (2), Waycross (2),
and Athens.
The schools are planned for
three groups: young people who
have just finished high school
and other unemployed people who
can attend school during the day;
underemployed people who need
training for new jobs, but have
to attend school at night; and
employed people who need up
dating or more intensive training
to keep up with changing me
thods and techniques.
There are already about nine
thousand students enrolled in the
classes. When completed, the 28
schools will have room for a
bout 25,000. It is estimated that
the courses cost the state about
$l5O per student, which they soon
pay back in taxes not to mention
the consumer goods they buy.
The courses do not cost the stu
dents a cent for tuition. He pays
only for consumable supplies that
he uses in learning.
What trades can a Georgian
learn at these schools? Practi
cally anything from electronic
technology to practical nursing
and beauty shop operation. Other
coursese include aviation me
chanics. automobile body repair,
machine drafting, commercial
photography, printing, office oc
cupations, and chemical techno
logy.
One thing that puzzles Hicks
is why more women do not enroll
in the drafting and design or the
electronic courses. He believes
that their manual dexterity and
their careful attention to details
make them a natural for these.
After all, he points out, thou
sands of women worked during
World War II as riveters and
welders and made good money.
At present, only two women are
in these courses: one in drafting!
at Rome, and another in electro
nics at Albany.
Now back to the Athens school
and its electronic technology
graduates: fifteen men started
the two year course. Five drop-
ped out to take jobs before they
finished. Before they enrolled,
their combined incomes totaled
$10,500. It more than doubled, to
$23,800, even though they did not
complete the course. The ten
men who did complete the cbUr.se
were making even less:^ $9,800.
They are now earning’ fiv^imes
as much, or $42,214. J. H. Park
er, instructor in the course, says
that studies show that a reason
able prediction is that in the se
cond year after the completion of
their training, the fifteen students
will be earning a whopping $79,-
216.
One of these students, a 19-
year-old who barely passed in
English and Civics in high school,
but had an A-plus average at the
vo-tech school, received six job
offers. He now has a job as a
technical representative at more
than $5,000 a year. A student in
a class in the DeKalk County Vo-
Tech School walked right out of
his graduation program into a
job that started him a $7,200. It
was a course in mechanical tech
nology.
Hicks said today that there are
two big problems with the new
vo-tech program. One is to get
top flight instructors for what the
state can pay. The other is to see
that all Georgians know that they
can get this training without any
tuition cost.
The first problem may be a lit
tle hard to solve. But the news
about the new training and the
good money it makes possible for
Georgians to earn is flying
through the state with the speed
of wind!
Iris Blitch
Gives Support
To Goldwater
Homerville — Former Eighth
District Congresswoman Iris
Blitch has announced plans to
team with the Republicans in sup
port of Senator Barry Goldwater.
Mrs. Blitch, a Democratic repre
sentative for 8 years and a former
National Democratic Committee
woman for the State, renounced
her affiliation with the Democra
tic Party.
Mrs. Blitch’s announcement:
“From this day forward my po
litical allegiance will be with the
Republican Party.
“Before making this important
step I have considered the mat
ter at great length and I cannot
say that my decision was made
without pain. I have served the
Democratic Party with sentiment,
devotion and hard work, and shall
always think tenderly of my state
and local Democratic Associa
tions. But on the National level,
as a member of the Democratic
Party from the south, I have had
to take open insults time and a
gain because I tried in whatever
degree it was possible to obtain
some consideration for the south
ern viewpoint, which after all, is
no more nor less than the tra
ditional American point of view.
“Had there been any place else
to go, I would have left the Dem
ocratic Party long ago, but un
til this year the Republican Par
ty has also been known for its
abortive attempt to capture block
votes in the industrial centers of
the Natien by whatever unAmeri
can promises the occasion de
manded.
“In my political lifetime only
one leader has come forward who
gives the American people a
choice between a more and more
centralized state and the com
plete dignity of the individual.
That man is Barry Goldwater.
“When I consider the courage
and fortitude it has taken on his
part to stand true to traditional
American principles and to over
come every obstacle that stood
in his way of assuming the lead
ership of his party completely
unfettered from the various isms
that tried so hard to force them
selves upon him, I feel that my
chance in party is a minor con
tribution to the future of Amer
ica.
“This year we have a rea l
choice in presidential candidates.
It may well be the last. I urge
every Georgian to give Barry
Goldwater your support. Win with
him or go down the inevitab’e
naty of socialistic dictatorship
just as we are now headed.”

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS B. JOHNSON
Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis
cussed to Mrs. Gladys B. Johnson, Blackshear, Ga.
Does God 'harden' the indi
vidual heart today as the Bible
says He hardened Pharaoh's
heart?
• And the Lord said unto Moses,
When you go back to Egypt, see
that you do before Pharaoh all
the miracles which I have put
in your power; but I will harden
his heart, so that he will not let
the people go, Exodus 4:21
This verse has troubled many
Christians because they feel that
Pharaoh had no choice but to
refuse to let the children of Israel
go since God had already said
that his heart would be hardened.
And that perhaps He is dealing
in the same manner with His
creatures today — hardening their
hearts and so making it impossi
ble for them to accept Him as
their Saviour. However, we must
remember that the plagues sent
by God were not the cause but
only the occasion of the hardening
of his heart. Keep in mind also
that God is a just and a holy
God and therefore could never
deal unjustly with any of His
creatures.
In spite of the fact that Moses'
request to let the people leave
Egypt was a reasonable one and
in spite of the fact that God per
formed many wonderful miracles
to prove that He was God and
that Moses was His representative
— Pharaoh still hardened his
heart Exodus 8:32
As C. I. Scofield explains it.
‘lnstrumentally God hardened
Pharaoh’s heart by forcing him
to an issue against which he
hardened his own heart in refus
al.’ When those, who know not
Christ, continually reject the light
that is offered them, then, as
night follows day, God gives them
up to a ‘reprobate mind,’ to do
those things which are not fitting
— who knowing the judgment of
God, that they which practice
such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have
pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:28-32.
| God leaves man to himself and
then Satan comes in and takes
over. Pharaoh was given the wit
ness both in word and through
miracles but he chose to act
against God so God left him
alone. God will not always strive
with man.
“If man will not have the truth
when it is put before him, they
shall, assuredly, have a lie. If
they will not have Christ, they
shall have Satan; if they will not
have heaven, they shall have
hell.” C.H.M. It is as simple as
that.
Suppose you place a lump of
clay and a piece of wax in the
hot sun. What will happen? Os
course the rays of the sun will
melt the wax and harden the clay.
The sun shines on both in exactly
the same manner, but the dif
ference is in the material upon
which it shines. So it is with
those who hear the Gospel mes-

DATE THOSE DRUGS
Miss Lucile Higginbotham, Ex
tension health specialist at the
University of Georgia, advises
writing the date on the label of
every non-prescription drug. This
is important, she says, because
drugs may deteriorate with age.
They may either lose their
strength or, if some of the liquid
evaporates, become dangerously
strong.
