electric cooking:
80 0 SI
Next best thing to having someone else do the
cooking for you is to do it the flameless electric way.
Even using the broiler or oven, electric cooking keeps
the kitchen and you up to 12 degrees cooler.
And why do so many modern home-makers prefer
cooking with electricity? Most say because it's so clean
. . . and safe . . . and electricity givesjhe same, even
heat — time after reliable time!
It's all part of "total electric living" . . . which you'll
find in rural homes, both farm and noti-farm, which
we serve. Part of the progress brought about and kept
moving by the Consumer-Owned Rural Electric Systemsl

Patrol to Stage
Massive Safety
Drive July 4th
ATLANTA — A .massive
traffic enforcement operation
—planned as the “toughest,
most concerted” safety cam
paign in Georgia’s history—
— be carried out during the
long Fourth of July holiday
weekend.
In announcing plans to cope
with the heavy traffic on Geor
gia’s highways over this sum
mer’s initial action-packed
holiday weekend, Col. R.H.
Burson, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety,
warned motorists that it will
be a “no-holds-barred” crack
down on law violators. State
patroleman have orders to
“get tough” when necessary.
The prolonged holiday peri
od officially begins at 6 P. M.
Thursday, July 3, and conn
tinues through midnight Sun
day, July 6 —a total of 78
hours.
While the patrol is aiming
for a “deathless” holiday
span. Indications are despite
all efforts tradgedy will strike.
For example, based on past
holiday experience and pre
sent trends, the patrol predicts
that at least 24 persons will
be killed and 360 others in
jured in 1,128 accidents during
the 78-hour period. (Last
year during a 102-
hour July holiday period, 25
persons lost their lives and
345 others were injured in
806 wrecks.)
Maj. Porter Weaver, the pa
trol’s commanding officer who
is the chief strategist in map
ping the enforcement drive,
said troopers from all patrol
posts in the state - wide sys
tem, as well as Atlanta head
quarters personnel and GBI a
gents, will be on active duty
throughout the campaign. All
weekend passes have been
cancelled for the period.
In addition, agents from
other state enforcement agen
cies will be utilized as “spot
ters,” both from the ground
and in aircrafts. When they
observe an obvious traffic vi
olation, these “spotters” im
mediately relay th" informa
tion via radio to uniformed pa
trolmen who go into action in
running down the suspected
violators, Maj. Weaver explain
ed.

BankAmericard
in Georgia Is
One Year Old
BankAmericard of Georgia
celebrated a birthday June 1,
and A. M. Ratliff, president
of Peoples Bank which offers
the BankAmericard service in
Blackshear, said the credit
card has enjoyed a highly suc
cessful first year of operation.
Sales in the initial twelve
month period have exceeded
$48,766,000 statewide.
Mr. Ratliff explained that
when BankAmericard of Geor
gia was announced in March
1968 it anticipated a goal of
300,000 cardholders, 3.500 mer
chant accounts and 20 corres
nond^nt aeent bank* to estab
lish the system in other Geor
gia cities within year.
These objectives were sur
passed in six months because
of the immediate and wide
soread popularity of
BankAmericard after card
usage began June 1968. To
day there are more than 800 -
090 BankAmericard holders in
Georgia, over 14,000 merchant
locations throughout the state
accepting BankAmericard, and
140 correspondent agent
banks participating in the
BankAmericard of Georgia
program.
In 1968 national BankAmeri
card sales increased 77 per
cent over the previous year,
while the number of cardhold
ers jumped 179 per cent dur
ing the same period. Presently,
the number of BankAmericard
holders is growing at the rate
of 900,000 a month, and there
are more than 18.000.000 card
holders throughout the coun
try, making BankAmericard
the largest of all travel and
entertainment credit cards
combined.
Already BankAmericard is
found in Canada, Japan. Ire
land Malta. Gibraltar. South
Africa, Mexico. England, the
West Indies. Hong Kong,
Guam, Saipan, Truk (in the
Marianas), Scotland and Italy.
The blue, white and gold
BankAmericard emblem will
be appearing in all states (it
is now in 46) and in more
countries as its acceptance
and use continue to spread.
“BankAmericard of Georgia
and Peoples Bank certainly
expect to keep pace with this
growth as it goes into its sec
ond year,” Mr. Ratliff conclud
ed.

NEWSPAPERS MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES
People who lead vital, dynamic lives mesh their thinking and
activities into the whirring gears of today's social, economic and
political machinery.
To stay in gear, they need all the help and information they
can get. Most of it they get from newspapers . . . the only news
medium which puts information in their hands in a retainable form
to be read and digested when they need it and have time for it.
To be of genuine importance to people, newspapers must be
free. No peoples are free where the press is gagged. So, it makes a
big difference in people's lives whether or not their newspapers are
free.

war is warming up, whether we are losing or winning the space
race . . . newspapers bring people the truth.
