SENATOR PEAN REPORTS

FIGHT FOR ECONOMY, EFFICIENCY AND
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN GOVERNMENT
Despite some strong pleas from your Senator, the General
Assembly of Georgia has passed a budget that tops SBOO million
dollars.
This aims Georgia toward a tax increase within two years
unless the State revenue increases by that time. Your State
Senator fought hard for a ten per cent across the board reduction
in the budget in order that we would not have to have a tax
increase. The items exempted were teachers, agriculture, high
ways, retarded children and help for the needy. I will continue
to fight for economy, efficiency and fiscal responsibility in gov
ernment.
HELP FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND GOOD,
CLEAN RECREATION
The young people of our area will get some help under some
new money appropriated for the State Recreation Commission.
Today we must give the young people a local recreation pro
gram to provide wholesome use of their time. This is a first step.
Let me urge the local leaders to call on the State Recreation
Commission for any assistance needed to help develop local recre
ational programs.
TO RESTORE LAW AND ORDER AND
The Governor’s Crime Commission has been established to help
us restore more law and order and fight crime. Your State Senator
is very interested in the Commission and in the five bills to fight
crime that are before this session of the General Assembly.
Some courts, unfortunately, have ruled in favor of the crimi
nal and against law enforcement officers who risk their lives that
you and I might be safe. ,
We need to change this trend and some of these bills will help
do this very thing. We need to teach our children more respect for
law and order.
DARKNESS FALLS ON TIME
A vote in the House of Representatives has apparently killed
the last opportunity for the people to decide for themselves if they
want to remain on Daylight Saving Time or return to Eastern
Standard Time.
Vour State Senator worked hard to get the issue before the
people . . . so that you could decide the matter. The latest bill
would have made possible a vote by the people on this issue and
your Senator supported it. The bill, however, was killed in com
mittee.
Now the State will go on Daylight Saving Time in late April
and remain on the “fast time" until the last Sunday in October.
MORE HELP FOR THE WORKING MAN
Under a new Workman’s Compensation Bill passed by the
General Assembly, additional money will be available to those
workers who are injured on the job.
Total disability compensation is increased from $37 to SSO
per week and total benefits move up from $12,000 to $17,000.
Those who are partially disabled will receive $39 instead of the
old figure of S3O. The money to support workmen's compensation
does net cost the taxpayer one cent; it comes from the employer
and the employee. Your State Senator is a friend of the working
man.
HELP FOR HIGHWAY EMPLOYEES
Your State Senator has proposed a bill that would set up a
committee, composed of both highway employees and officials,
that would allow any highway employee to have heard any com
plaint that he might have at any time.
This assures all employees of an opportunity to have someone

Electric convertible
(with heater
In 1965, Patrick Milford of Carnesville, Georgia,
had flameless electric heat installed in this
restored eleven-room, two-bath home.
Why?
Because flameless electric heat is the world’s
cleanest heat. It’s comfortable. Dependable.
Economical. Because electric heating systems
are compact. Save space. Space that could be
a new den. Or workshop. Or family room.
Because electric heat can be installed quickly
and easily in a few days. No matter what size,
age or style home you have.
Actually, Mr. Milford considered all these
reasons. And one more. An electric heating
system is the most modem heating system you
tan buy. At any price.
If you’re in the market for a convertible,
think about a 1968 electric. It’s made for tomor
row. And tomorrow’s models are available today.
Check with your certified electric heating dealer
for the type of electric heat best for your home.

>ver in population up 17 per
eat. The suburban areas re
-6 percent while the rurai
ueas were up 13 percent in
volume.
The crime increases, accord
ing to Mr. Hoover, were con
sistent throughout the United
States. The Northeastern and
North Central States were
each up 18 percent, while the
Western and Southern States
reported an average increase
of 15 percent.
The FBI Director noted that
serious assults where a gun
vas used as the weapon rose
2 percent and that one out oi
.■very five assults was com
nitted with a gun. The vicious
treet crime of armed rob
bery had a sharp upswing of
30 percent and a firearm was
used in 58 percent of all rob
bery offenses.
The figures released by the
FBI disclosed that in 1967
police arrests for all criminal
acts, except traffic offenses,
increased 4 percent. Arrests of
adults, which declined slightly
in 1966, rose by 3 percent in
1967. Arrests of persons un
der 18 years of age continued
to rise in 1967 with an increase
of 8 percent. Included in the
increased police arrests was a
rising volume of arrests for
offenses against public order.
A copy of the preliminary
crime figures for the year 1967
is attached. Final crime figures
and crime rates per unit of
population will be available
in the detailed annual Uni
form Crime Reports scheduled
for release in July, 1968.
