electric heat.
Any heating system will give you heat. But if heat
comes in hot blasts, with cold spells in between,
it’s not comfortable.
After all. your own temperature is a pretty con
stant thing. Is the temperature constant in each
room of your home? It will be with electric heat.
Not for just a few moments, but until you decide
to change the temperature. And a simple flick of
the thermostat does that.
Electric heat offers you room-by-room control
or a central system. Either way, the temperature
stays within one degree of the thermostat setting.
. It’s that little extra comfort that makes electric
heat so nice. Especially for the little things in life.

Tagging of Leaf
Given Favorable
Ruling by Court
Douglas, Ga. — Tagging of
'he state’s flue-cured tobacco
bv the Georgia Agricultural
Commodity Commission for
Tobacco as being “Georgia
’town”, done for the first time
this year on warehouse floors,
has received a favorable ruling
in United States District
Court.
Judge Robert Elliot of Co
lumbus has ruled the State
of Georgia legally exercises its
police powers to protect the
economic interests of Georgia
Tobacco Farmers, the tagging
is not unconstitutional. and
there is not contempt of Court.
The suit to prohibit labeling of
Georgia tobacco was fil
ed by Tom Lewis, part owner
of a tobacco warehouse at
Swainsboro and a resident of
South Carolina.
Tobacco grown out of the
state brought in. and sold in
Georgia cannot be labeled as
“Georgia grown”. In 1967, out
of-state tobacco made up 18
percent of Georgia’s total
sales.
In a referendum before this
past tobacco selling season, 88
per cent of Georgia tobacco
growers voting were for
the special tag to show
their tobacco as “Georgia
grown”. As a result of grow-

er approval of Georgia Agri
cultural Commodity Commis
sion for Tobacco Marketing
Order No. 6A, warehousemen
in the state are required by
law to attach the green tag to
each pile of tobacco grown by
a member of the Agricultural
Commodity Commission for
Tobacco. All tobacco growers
in Georgia are members of the
ACC for Tobacco. The tag
must remain there until all of
the tobacco is sold.
Georgia tobacco growers are
the first producer group in
the state to vote to label their
commodity under authority
granted in the 1968 Georgia
Agricultural Commodities
Sales Promotion Act.
Herman C. Odom of Claxton,
Chairman of the Georgia Ag
ricultural Commodity Com
mission for Tobacco, commen
ted on the court decision. “It’s
fine that Judge Elliot has seen
the legality and need for let
ting tobacco farmers help
themselves in the promotion of
their product. One of the
prime purposes in tagging
Georgia-grown tobacco as such
is to maintain the identity of
Georgia tobacco and let the
foreign buyers, who take some
70 per cent of our crop, have
no doubt they are getting the
world’s finest cigarette tobac
co.”
Attorneys for the Georgia
Agricultural Commodity Com
mission for Tobacco were
Hofner Durden, Jr. of Swains
boro, and Denmark Groover,
Jr., of Macon.
