FACT: Although the number of dollars has grown, the per centage of the total State budget for welfare is the same as it was 20 years ago. Only seven percent of the State’s money is being spent today for welfare. Georgia, compared to many other states, has a low per capita income and is economically an “underdeveloped” state. Because of this, the Federal Government pays 77 percent of our welfare costs, as compared for example to 50 percent of New York's welfare costs. This means that our State investment returns large amounts of Federal funds to our poorest citizens who spend these dollars to live. THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT IS MAKING AN EFFORT TO EXPLODE SOME OF THE POPULAR BUT MISTAKEN NOTIONS ABOUT WELFARE AND WELFARE RECIPIENTS. THIS IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF SIX MYTHS . . .

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION / J The South j Standard Newspaper J g / \ '-'•ay/ ATLANTA (PRN) - For more than six years now, you’ve been reading this weekly column in your favorite newspaper. You’ve read all types of stories . . .fishing tales, hunting yarns, hard-core conservation articles, some touching tales, all sorts of things, in this column. Altogether, in 6'4 years, I’ve written more than 350 columns for the State Game and Fish Department. Certainly, I hope you have enjoyed reading it. I know some of you have, because I’ve had countless letters and phone calls and many, many personal comments from you, the reader. I appreciate them. Os all the people who enjoy the column, however, I dare to selfishly say that no one has enjoyed it nearly as much as I myself have. There are many, many tasks I have done during those 6‘/2 years for you the sportsman, as an employee of the State Game and Fish Department and I’ve loved every minute of it, every part of the job whether it was writing a news release, answering your questions on the phone or in person, speaking at your club meeting, taking pictures and gathering a story for GAME & FISH Magazine . . .or editing and planning the magazine. This column, however, has always been sort of a personal pet. I could do pretty much as I pleased with it, say what I wanted to, get something off my mind or my chest. I bragged on some people, berated others. I’ve given tips on where to go hunting or fishing, tips on improving your techniques and regularly begged and pleaded with you to be a good sportsman, to observe game and fish laws, to conserve our natural resources and to encourage others to do the same .. .and very often strived to entice you to spend more time taking youngsters hunting and fishing . . .both Easter Sunrise Services Planned At Stone Mountain STONE MOUNTAIN (PRN) - Two old rough-hewn crosses will be set in rugged Stone Mountain granite for simultaneous Easter sunrise services April 2. Following a pattern which drew 12,000 worshippers last year, Stone Mountain Park will host two interdenominational services at 6 a.m. Easter Sunday. Both, the traditional service atop the mountain, and a ground-level ceremony on a rocky ledge just east of the Skylift station, will include choirs, participation by six area ministers, and a carillon prelude and postlude. Park gates will open at'4:3o a.m., with no parking permit required until 7:30 a.m. Torches on the walk-up trail will be lighted at 4:30 a.m. BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH Georgia Game and Fish Commission Os Swans And Songs your own youngsters and others. I have, sometimes, tried to explain to you what your Game and Fish Department is, how it operates and how it benefits you. Most of all I’ve tried to show that the Department is here to serve you, to provide you with more and better hunting and fishing, and to help you enjoy it more. I hope you have not only enjoyed the column but have found it helpful find useful, informative as well as entertaining. I hope it has given you a better understanding of conservation and your role and the Department’s in protecting our wildlife resources. I hope, too, that you’re a better sportsman as well as a better outdoorsman for having read it. I believe I have received benefits in many, many ways from writing it. I know I have had the benefit of learning more about more people through the column, than I would have otherwise. Because of all this, it isn’t easy, not is it pleasant, to get to the point of this column. I hope you’ll be a -little disappointed, because I am too. Next week you will not see my column. With many regrets and fond memories, I am leaving the Game and Fish Department. I’ve loved it, loved working for Game and Fish and for you and with you. I’m going to miss it. But I won’t miss Georgia’s fine quail hunting, bass fishing, deer hunting, coastal fishing and all the state offers. Nor will I stop writing about it. I’m moving to South Georgia, and will continue to write, on a free lance basis and hopefully, my writings of this state will be in many publications. Thanks for a wonderful experience, to you, and to all persons connected with the Department. Good Luck. And good hunting and fishing! So Long. and the Skylift will begin operating at the same hour. Carillon concerts will begin at 5:30 a.m. and immediately after the services, with Herbie Koch, Official Carillonneur of the State of Georgia, at the console of the 732 Bells of Stone Mountain. The Georgia State University Women’s Chorus, directed by Ms. Susan L. Haigler, will present two special musical selections during the top of the mountain service. Ms. Mary Lynn Marchman, organist, and Paul Ford, pianist, will accompany the group. SUBSCRIBE TO THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Swine Test Station Begins Summer Program TIFTON—With a highly successful fall and winter test behind them, officials of the swine test station here are anticipating “the biggest and best test ever this summer.” Animal Scientist 0. M, Hale, who supervises this swine testing program at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station, said the station will begin accepting pigs for the next boar test on March 28. The sale of boars which meet the requirements in this test will be held on Thursday, August 10. The tough requirements are: (1) have a minimum of 1.20 inches backfat, (2) weigh 200 pounds by 150 days of age, and (3) make their gain on three or less pounds of feed per pound of gain. As early as March 8, 64 purebred swine breeders in Georgia had nonimated pigs for the upcoming test, and Hale was expecting even more nominations before the deadline March 13. In the fall-winter program just completed, 74 boars were officially placed on test in the early fall. Fifty-six of these, or 76 percent, were given passing marks at the end of the trial and were offered for sale to Georgia producers interested in upgrading quality of their hogs. Based on results Georgia- WASH JAR TOPS Take time to wash jar tops on all vacuum sealed foods before opening. University of Georgia Extension Home Economist Nelle Thrash says many types of microorganisms are ready to enter food once the seal is broken. This rule also applies to all metal cans. If the lid should drop as the can is opened, many microor ganisms enter the food. Cleanliness is extremely important in keeping food clean once the seal is broken.

Did You Know Waycross, Ga.— Many tax. payers lost all or part of their deductions for charitable con tributions last year because they failed to keep the necess ary records. Substantiations of charitable contributions is one of the most frequent problems encountered in the audit of tax returns, C. Q. Holland, the local Internal Revenue Service representat ive in Waycross, said today. . Another problem in the con tribution area that appeared on last year’s returns was the claim of the full amount paid for a ticket to a charity ball, theatre benefit, or banquet as a charitable contribution. Mr. Holland said that only that part of the ticket price in excess of the value received by the buyer may be consider ed a charitable contribution. “ When $lO is paid for a ticket to a charity banquet and the meal would normally cost $4, then only $6 may be con. sidered a charitable gift/’he said. To help taxpayers avoid this mistake on 1971 returns, IRS has requested all charitable or ganizations selling tickets to fu nd raising affairs to clearly in dicate on the ticket the amount that is deductible. Identifying the deductible portion of the ticket price should end this problem, Mr. Holland said.
