ATLANTA (PRN) - The
almost 350 studies of every
aspect of state government are
now being translated into
legislation. I can assure you
that the final plan, to be
presented to the legislature,
will be a blueprint designed to
make Georgia’s government
the most efficient, economical
and responsive in the whole
nation. If fully implemented,
it will save at least a fifty
million dollars per year which
was expected.
I say IF fully implemented
because I know that there are
powerful forces which will
employ every means at their
disposal to defeat any change
that affects their privileged
positions.
The only people who stand
to benefit from the approval
of the Reorganization plan are
the taxpayers of Georgia. You
have my commitment that I
will not hesitate to fight all
out for these proposals.
Your legislators have
assured me that they are
anxious to see Georgia’s
government reorganize but
they will be under tremendous
pressure from highly trained
lobbyists and powerful special
interests. They need your
vocal support for
Reorganization.
The voices of the special
interests are certain to be
heard. The voice of the
Georgia people must also
come through loud and clear.
On the national level, I was
proud to leam that Ray Pope,
director of the Department of
Photographed at Plant Yates, near Newnan
Plant Yates has just turned 21
And it’s still growing.
Hammers resound against nail and board. Torches
shed bright sparks, welding steel to steel. And tons
of silver-gray concrete churn nearby.
The action is at Plant Yates, where two new gen
erating units are going up. They'll more than double
the present 550,000-kilowatt capacity of the plant,
which went on the line in 1950. The new construction
carries a price tag of $l4O million.
Environmental protection was a vital part of the
planning, as it is wherever we're building. It also
adds greatly to the costs. Our total construction
budget for the year tops $363 million.
Georgia’s need for clean and dependable electric
energy is expected to double in seven years. But we
can’t supply it if we delay expansion.
Despite high costs and steep interest rates, we
must build. That’s why we’re adding capacity to
Plant Yates. And investing in four new power plants
around the state.
We’ll'have more than one to grow on.

A citizen wherever we serve®
Public Safety and Ellis
MacDougall, director of the
Department of Corrections
have been named to the
NATIONAL COMMISSION
ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE
STANDARDS AND GOALS.
This is a vitally important
commission charged with
doing something about the
rising crime rate in our
country. There are only
twenty members, and Georgia
is the only state in the nation
represented by two people
from state government.
In conclusion, let me take
this opportunity to again
compliment the employees of
state government at all levels.
They have been faced with
some trying times as we
attempted to reorganize state
government. Change is always
upsetting, but these fine men
and women have been eager to
find a better way to do things.
Many changes have been
proposed by them on their
qwn initiative.
Most of them are
overworked and underpaid,
but their worst problem is
frustration with an outdated
bureaucratic system over
which neither they nor their
department heads have any
control.
They see Reorganization as
an opportunity to cut through
the red tape that has
accumulated over the past
forty years, and get on with
the job of serving you.
Come to think of it, that is
the way I see Reorganization
too.

occasion of special significance
for nearly 3 million youths. It
is the 50 th National 4-H

Four-H members who will

to 4-H’ers during this year are
at an all time high—sl79,ooo.
These funds are provided
through awards programs from
major U. S. companies and
corporations.
State Needs Both School,
School District Consolidation
Consolidation of schools and school districts
almost certainly would serve to advance the
cause of quality education in Georgia.
The state now has more than 190 school dis
tricts. including county districts, citv dis
tricts. and some consolidated districts The
most efficient number to do the job is proba
bly about 50 to 60
Many of these districts still have schools
that are too small to provide quality education
at a cost that the people can afford.
STATE SCHOOL Supt. Jack Nix has devel
oped a plan for reorganization of the more
than 190 districts into 54 districts.
These proposed districts are laid out ac
cording to natural trade areas and established
traffic patterns rather than the county lines
now in use.
If the 54-dislrict plan were adopted, each of
the districts would be large enough to support
a well-rounded curriculum for a group of per
sons reasonably close together.
It is neither efficient nor economical to
operate school systems today with fewer than
10,000 students: yet many of Georgia s sys
tems have onlv a few thousand youngsters in
them
In the interest of these youngsters educa
tion and in the interest of the taxpayers who
must pav for it. school district consolidation
should be encouraged.

COVER BUTTER
Be sure to cover your butter
or margarine when you put it
in the refrigerator, otherwise,
they absorb odors.
SOIL TEST
When planting practically
anything—a lawn, a few rows in
the garden, or acres of crops on
the farm—it pays to soil test.
Contact your county agent at
the Cooperative Extension
Service office for instructions
on proper sampling, packaging
and mailing.
THE ISSUE — State School Supt. Jack Nix
has developed a proposal whereby the state's
more than 190 school districts could be re
duced to 54.
SOME OF the smaller schools also should
be phased out or somehow be made part of
larger operating units through the use of edu
cational television and other special pro
grams.
Too many schools simply cannot afford the
equipment necessary for vocational education
courses, language laboratories, or other class
es.
Unless the classes can somehow be brought
to the children, which might be more feasible
in larger districts, the children must be
brought to where the proper equipment and
faculty can be located.
WE BELIEVE that Georgia has made sub
stantial progress in some areas of education
in recent years. But new wavs still come hard
for many persons
New approaches, including more economi
cal and efficient ways of providing better edu
cation, must be adopted, however, if our
youngsters are to be prepared for the chal
lenges ahead.
It is time to accelerate the consolidation of
schools and school districts in many areas.

DRIPPING FAUCET
Got a dripping faucet
around the house—one that
“vibrates, sings or flutters”
when opened? Chances are the
washer at the lower end of the
faucet spindle needs replacing.
Or, if it leaks around the
spindle when opened, a new
packing washer is probably
needed. You can make these
plumbing repairs yourself. All
that’s needed is a wrench,
screw driver and replacement
washers.

SERVING ICE CREAM
Ice cream is easier to scoop
or slice if it is at refrigerator
temperature a short time
before serving, according to
Extension home economists at
the University of Georgia.
Refrigerate a pint about 10
minutes and a half-gallon for
20 minutes.
SPICE GOES BAD
When gathering your
cooking supplies for holidays
ahead, you should check your
spice shelf, say Extension
home economists at the

deteriorate and quickly lose
their pungency in heat and

store spices in air-tight con
tainers.
