Tidwell quoted a statement made by Sweat after he re turned from a conference on educational TV in Washington, saying, “I was amazed and gratified to learn that Georgia is at the forefront of programs in Educational TV. The Board voted some years ago to take advantage of this remarkable modern means of educating children, and the State De partment of Education has done sound work in planning and launching the program,” said Sweat.

I thought when I orgin ally made the .motion to in vestigate the feasability of using television in our schools that it had the potential of becoming a most valuable medium of instruction.

Smith says the 1967 Georgia General Assembly handled the state’s largest ever budget and reapportioned both houses, but still have two “monsters stalking the capitol” when the next session convenes. At a series of meetings this week, the Lieutenant Gover nor said the postponed option al sales tax and the contro versial lease of the State own ed railroad both are “tempes tuous” and will be top issue in the 1968 session. Lt. Gov. Smith praised the “most unique session in the State's history” for its action in passing the $1.6 billion bud get — largest in the history— —for realigning both the house of Representatives and the Senate. “You can imagine the bat tles that took place behind the scenes over the various bud get items,” he told his audi ence in Athens and Atlanta. “Some of the educational items that were eliminated must be returned if we are to have the quality education that our youth need.” In an address to a group of University of Georgia stu dents, Lt. Gov. Smith said he intends to “keep on fighting for more and more funds for education” so that Georgia can move toward the national standards. He said the familiar cartoons about “who’s on first” is al most applicable in the uniform time situation. The final ver sion of the bill is that if two of the five neighboring states remain on standard time will Georgians have their old time. “Instead of a wait and see bill, I should say it is an ‘Only time will tell’ bill,” he said. Lt. Gov. Smith said the pro posed optional sales tax would have given cities a chance to cure some of their money ills. It was postponed on the final day of the 1967 session. The state’s second highest official urged the young people to share their thoughts with their individual legislators. “You have between now and next January to actively parti cipate in your state govern ment,” he said.

PRESIDENT Texas Refinery Corp. BOX 711, Fort Worth, Texas 74101 'To Work or Not to Work' — Second Family Pay Check Poses Questions Women are in the world of work in increasing numbers and are here to stay, accord ing to Miss Lora Laine, home economist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Ex tension Service. “One in three or about 15 million wives earn a pay. check,” Miss Laine said. “Half of all working wives earn about one-fourth of their family’s total income, and a bout 40 percent of the total consumer spending is estima ted to come from homes where the wife is employed.” Wives are working outside the home for a variety of Reasons. The major reason is the financial need of the fam ily. As the wife, the decision to work away from home should be made on the basis of thorough analysis, in dol lars and cents, of what the second pay check will do for your family, the Extension home economist pointed out. “Quoted salary rates won’t give you a true answer since you will receive considerably less in actual take home pay. If you base your spending plan on the salary to be received, you may find yourself in worse financial condition than before,” Miss Laine added. A prime consideration is how the husband feels about the wife going to work. If he objects, the wife must decide whether the extra money will be worth the friction caused. “The first order of business,” Miss Laine pointed out, “is to talk the situation over with the family.” A job will not work out unless you have full family cooperation. This co operation includes sharing of household chores which you have been doing alone. Family members need to be in on the decisions to be made, such as Who will look after the younger children? How and when will housekeeping chores be done? What help will family members give? Home management will have to become a family affair in stead of a one-woman respon sibility. When you have satisfied yourself and family that these emotional and physical con siderations can be satisfacto rily handled, you are ready for the big question — How much money will you really have and how will it be used? “Sound spending plans are based on ‘net’ income — ac tual money you will receive, not your quoted salary,” Miss Laine explained. “To figure your take home pay, take your quoted salary before de ductions and subtract all de ductions from that figure. Be sure to include federal and state income tax, Social Se curity tax, group life and health insurance and group retirement plan in your list of deductions. “Now you are ready to fig ure your take home pay for one year. Multiply your take home pay by the number of pay periods in a year. This is the actual increase in your family income but not what Foma to, .. Fhevrrmfslanai c Put that Young Ho spirit in your car.

Come to Chevron Island, south of the Standard sign. W. B. WILLIS, AGENT NAHUNTA, GEORGIA The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, May 11, 1967 you will ‘net’ from your job. Most likely there will be new or increased household ex penses because you are not at home to do all the things you now do,” she said. Your take home pay minus new or increased expenses be cause you work is the money you will have for improving family living. When 1 figuring your increased or new ex penses, be sure to include such items as transportation, lunch es, coffee breaks, child care, clothing, personal (beauty parlor, cosmetics) dues, office contributions and uniforms. You will also need to take in to account the labor cost of anything you now do which you will hire someone else to do. “There is still another in creased expenditure that has to be considered before you can determine your family’s net increase in income,” Miss Laine added. “This considera tion is the effect your gross income will have on the total income tax, state and federal, which you and your husband must pay. Income tax withheld from your pay check may not pay the increase in your tax bill.” When you have determined exactly what your second pay check will mean to you in terms of dollars and cents, you will need to answer a few more questions. Will this a mount of money satisfy your reasons for going to work? Can you do what you expected to do with the extra money? Will the money compensate for the family adjustments that will be necessary? Are there long term benefits that have not been evaluated in this analysis, such as increased Social Security benefits, retire ment income and improved insurance protection? “This guide is for economic analysis alone,” the Extension home economist continued. “There are reasons other than ‘money’ for which wives work. It pays to look at what you give up as well as what you get. The side of the ledger that promises the most ad vantages for you and your family should help you make a wise decision.” Sammy Middleton Has RECORD ALBUM Publication announcement is made by Columbia Records of an album by Sammy Middleton and his Moonglow Orchestra.

C. —, It has been announced by the House Committee on Committees of the Ways and Means Commit tee that a resolution has been unanimously endorsed to elect Congressman W. S. (Bill) Stuckey, Jr. to the House In terstate and Foreign Com merce Committee. Congressman Stuckey would be the only Georgian on the Interstate and Foreign Com merce Committee and one of only a few Southerners on this very important Commit tee of the House. Since Georgia already has one member on the Agricul ture Committee, Mr. Stuckey has been encouraged by other* .members; of the Georgia Del egation to accept the appoint ment which can be of great value and importance to the State and to the Bth Congres sional District. As it is a recognized fact that the Committees are con sidered the workhorses of Congress and most of the legislative work of Congress and important decisions in drafting and refining legisla tion is done in the committees, it is to the advantage of the State to have members located on as many important com mittees of the House as pos sible. The State of Georgia will, with Congressman Stuc key’s acceptance of this com mittee assignment, have a vote on almost every power ful committee of the House. The Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee is small er than the Agriculture Com mittee, and Mr. Stuckey’s vote in this body would be of more consequence and his voice on legislative matters of more significance. The Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee’s juris diction is far reaching and en compasses many areas that are of importance to Georgia and to the Bth District. Many bills that directly affect agri culture are taken up and con sidered by the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Commit tee. STANDARD “KOILZ"
