gia have been the lowest ever re
corded for such an extended per
iod and have stayed below the
national average throughout the
year.
— New industry has come to
Georgia and plants already here
have expanded.
— The undereducated and un
skilled are finding it progressive
ly more difficult to compete in
the labor market
— The training and retraining
programs are making progress in
improving the lot of the unem
ployed and the underemployed.
As for the future, Commissioner
Huiet predicts another good year
for 1965. He expects:
— The number employed in the
state to continue to increase at
very near the 1964 rate.
— The number becoming gain
fully employed who were pre
viously considered unemployable
will continue to grow as more are
trained and retrained under the
provisions of the Manpower De
velopment and Training Act and
other programs.
—- The smaller towns and even
rural areas to share in the econo
mic growth.
— Farmers to add additional
machinery thereby releasing more
workers for industrial jobs.
— More opportunities for farm
workers to go elsewhere and work
for short periods as the Mexican
farm labor is terminated.
— The second phase of the tax
cut which will go into effect Jan
uary 1 to provide more take home
pay for workers, however, there
will be some shock as many find
that withholdings for 1964 were
inadequate.
— Actions under the provisions
of the Economic Opportunities
Act to lessen the impact of the
industrial changes taking place.
If the Appalachia program gets
underway North Georgia stands to
gain greatly, especially in tour
ism as access roads are opened
to scenic mountain areas.
Georgia’s economic good health
can be attributed to several fac
tors including the climate, the
availability of workers with the
capacity to grow and learn new
skills and the long record of man
agement and worker cooperation.
EARLIER PLANTING
INCREASES YIELD
OF FALL FORAGE
Georgia farmers can get more
forage sooner from winter forage
crops by planting them two weeks
earlier, results of recent research
show.
By planting oats, wheat and
rye — with and without rye grass
—two weeks earlier than the re
commended planting date of Sep
tember 15, research agronomists
at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion near Griffin increased fall
forage production of these winter
grazing crops without decreasing
total production.
The three-year tests were con
ducted to determine the effect of
seeding date on seasonal produc
tion and quality of temporary
grazing crops. Results were re
ported by Dr. D. G. Cummins, re
search agronomist, on Novem
ber 17 to the 1964 meeting of the
American Society of Agronomy at
the University of Missouri, Colum
bia, Mo.
Dr. Cummins attributed the in
creased forage yield during the
early part of the winter grazing
season to the better moisture con
ditions for seed germination and
plant establishment which usually
prevail the first half of Septem
ber.
Rye produced more total forage
than oats, but not more than
wheat in these tests. Overseed
ing the small grains with rye
grass did not increase total pro
duction, but extended the graz
ing season.
Average forage production was
moderate in the fail, decreased in
December, and rose to peak pro
duction in mid-May. Quality of the
fall forage, as measured by pro
tein content, was higher than
spring forage.
Planting these small grains be
fore September 1 reduced yields
about 20 percent. This reduction
was attributed to high tempera
tures which prevailed in August
and which were conducive to de
seases and insects which damage
small grains.
ORDER BLUEBERRIES
Thinking about setting out some
blueberries this year? October is
a good time to order plants, ac
cording to Horticulturist C. D.
Spivey of the Cooperative Exten
sion Service. And it’s important
to select correct varieties for
Georgia. Recommended varieties
include Tifblue, Homebel, and
Woodard.
Doing without breakfast results
in decreased efficiency during the
late morning hours, according to
Mrs. Rita Waters, nutritionist
with the Cooperative Extension
Service.
Type 14 Tobacco In Heavy Demand,
Rep. Tuten Tells House Committee
Doc MAG
Says
By the Medical
Association of Georgia
KNOW THE FACTS
ABOUT THE RED CROSS
BLOOD PROGRAM
A good many false rumors con
cerning Red Cross Blood dona
tions seem to be circulating. The
only way to clear up such rumors
is to cite the facts.
One sometimes hears, for in
stance, that the Red Cross
charges recipients for blood, even
though volunteers donate it. The
confusion seems to arise from the
fact that hospitals charge for the
typing and cross-matching of
blood and for administering blood
to patients. Also, many hospitals
share with the Red Cross a part
of the cost of collecting and dis
tributing blood, and this hospital
participation is frequently charg
ed to the patient. But when people
receive Red Cross collected blood,
there is never a charge for the
blood itself.
Another rather common mis
conception is that blood is dis
carded if for some reason it can’t
be used right away. This is false
because, even if the whole blood
isn’t used soon after it is donat
ed, plasma, red cells and other
fractions can be withdrawn, stor
ed, and used later. These pro
ducts can be stored for consid
erable lengths of time and Red
Cross researchers are attempting
to increase the time blood can be
preserved.
Some people believe they feel
weak for months, or even years,
after donating blood. Yet, the nor
mal body replaces a pint of blood
in three or four days. In view of
this, it is difficult to see how the
weak feeling some people say
they experience could be anything
other than a psychological reac
tion.
Prospective donors who are
concerned about the effect of don
ating blood upon their own health
should understand that each pros
pective donor has hi s blood
pressure, hemoglobin, tempera
ture, and pulse rate checked be
fore he is accepted as a donor.
If any of these gauges registers
abnormal, his blood won’t be tak
en at that time.
It is not unusual for some peo
ple to have a transient dizziness
for a few hours after donating
blood. For this reason, people who
may have to climb high ladders,
operate hazardous machinery, or
drive fast moving vehicles, should
donate blood only when they are
going off duty.
In connection with its blood pro
gram, the Red Cross maintains a
rare donor file at the Los Angeles
Regional Blood Center. There, re
corded on punched cards, are the
names and locations of persons
having combinations of blood
types so rare that they occur in
only a fraction of the popula
tion. Through mechanical sort
ing of the cards, the names of
donors, with the type of blood
needed, can be instantly obtain
ed. Rapid communication and
transportation allow for the blood
to be collected and sped to a sick
or injured patient in a very short
time.
DOC MAG SAYS: Know the
facts about the Red Cross blood
program. Take the trouble to cor
rect misinterpretation of them
whenever you can.
A Theory That Failed
The theory behind communism — which
has had 45 years now to prove itself — is that
the wealth should be shared by all. This was
to be done by an all-powerful government
which would own and direct anything of any
consequence and make all the decisions.
The result has been the creation of the
greatest poorhouse in history. To quote from
Time magazine, “The eight-nation group cre
ated by the communists in- frank imitation of
the Common Market not only has failed to re
lieve the economic chaos in Eastern Europe,
but in many ways has actually worsened it.
So nightmarish is their job that the satellite
economists have begun to grumble openly.”
The moral is plain enough: Economic pro
gress, with all it involves in the way of living
standards, has as its primary requirement —
economic freedom. Then, beyond the material,
economic freedom is the basis on which a 11
human freedom rests. The whole history of
communism refutes the efficiency of the su
perstate. We sorely need to learn that lesson.
Thought for the Week
"A recession is a period in which you tight
en up your belt. A depression is a time when
you have no belt to tighten. When you have
no trousers to hold up, it’s a panic.”
—Springfield, Nebr., Herald
Congressman Russell Tuten
told the House Agriculture Com
mittee a 19Ms-percent acreage cut
recently ordered by the Depart
ment of Agriculture should not
apply to Georgia tobacco grow
ers.
“Type 14 tobacco (the kind
grown in Georgia) is in heavy de
mand,” Representative Tuten
said. “Only 2.8 percent of it
goes into the price stabalization
program while as much as 40 per
cent of tobacco grown in other
areas become surplus."
Congressman Elliott Hagan
concurred in Representative Tu
ten’s protest.
The two Georgia Representa
tives attended a special meeting
of the Agriculture Committee
called by the Chairman, Repre
sentative Harold Cooley of North
Carolina. The meeting was held
in Washington, Monday, Decem
ber 21.
The committee, concerned over
the economic impact of 10- and
19%-percent acreage cuts in suc
cessive years, considered means
of aiding tobacco farmers.
Representative Hagan suggest
ed that public hearings be held
throughout the tobacco belt to
permit farmers to discuss their
problems directly with commit
tee members.
Congressman and Mrs. J. Rus
sell Tuten recently attended cere
monies at Quantico, Virginia, at
which their son, James, was com
missioned a second lieutenant in
the Marine Corps.
A graduate of the University
of Georgia, Lt. Tuten completed
a 10-week Officer Candidate
School course prior to receiving
his commission. He will attend
the Basic School for Officers, at
Quantico, for the next six months.
Lt. Tuten is married to the
former Myrta Vann Chatfield of
Marietta. They have an infant
son, James Russell Tuten 111.
Students Needed
For Vocational
Training Classes
Students are needed for three
classes scheduled to begin Jan.
4 at the Waycross Vocational
School.
Ashley Goldwire, manager of
the Georgia State Employment
Service in Waycross, says 20 stu
dents are needed for each of the
three classes. Instructions will be
given in auto mechanics, small
electrical appliance repairs and
upholstery.
“There is quite a demand for
all three skills and this is an op
portunity for persons in the Way
cross area to secure some good
vocational training,” Goldwire
says.
The GSES certifies the type of
training for students and the stu
dents for their training.
The 60 openings in the classes
will be filled on a “first come -
first served” basis, Goldwire
points out.
The GSES official said married
students With dependents are eli
gible for pay during the training.
But unmarried students are not,
he adds.
Interested persons are advised
to contact the Georgia State Em
ployment Service office on Eliza
beth St. for further details of the
training program.
Goldwire says classes will be
held from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. five
days per week beginning Jan. 4.
In addition to pay for married
students, they are also eligible for
some travel allowance if they live
more than 10 miles from Way
cross, Goldwire said.
