Take a good look at the newspaper you’re holding. Without oil, it
might not be there.
From the film in the press camera to the rollers in the presses—today's
newspapers depend on products that come from oil. Even the ink comes
from oil.
To get a newspaper out takes a lot of energy too. And 75% of all our
energy comes from oil and natural gas (including 40% of our electricity).
But today, we’re using these petroleum fuels faster than we are finding
them. That’s why America faces an Energy Gap.
We're your local oil companies. Working to bridge the growing Energy
Gap. Because it shouldn’t be news to anyone that a country that runs on
oil can't afford to run short.

GO WEST YOUNG MAN was once the cry of our pioneer
ancestors, but “Go South Young Man" seems to be the current
trend today. The decade just passed shows that the South is
the nation’s leading gainer in just about every area of social
and economic activity.
During the 1960’5, the South increased its lead as the most
populous of the four major regions of the United States. For
the first time since the War Between the States, the South has
gained more people than it lost. In the past 10 years, immi
gration into the South has totaled about a half million people.
Many of these have been persons with college degrees who have
come to work in the new industries of the South, resulting in a
better educated and more cosmopolitan population.
In Georgia alone, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and Columbus
rank high among the fastest growing areas in the United States.
THE STATE OF GEORGIA is growing for many reasons.
First, it is located in the center of the Southeast—the fastest
growing market area in the United States. A highly developed
transportation system, radiating from the Atlanta hub, enables
manufacturers to serve the Southeastern market fastest, and at
lower costs, from Georgia locations.
Because of Georgia’s ideal year-round climate, no serious
problems are caused by weather conditions. Materials arrive
on schedule, and labor forces operate fully staffed, thus pro
viding better service and increased productivity.
Our State outranks all other states in production of a number
of goods including paper and board, tufted textiles, and poultry.
Georgia's growth rate is faster than that of any other state in a
number of important categories including passengers carried by
airlines, bank deposits and savings and loan assets, and total
personal income.
IN 20 YEARS, the largest state east of the Mississippi, buried
its Old Plantation image. For those who remember our State as
a land of boll weevils and miles of stubby cotton—those days
are gone forever. Georgia has eclipsed its predicted potential
and stepped boldly out on a wide avenue of social and economic
progress.
Our State has become an industrial landmark, and the new
jobs that are being created has activated an awareness of a
better way of life and ignited a contagious enthusiasm that has
quickened the pulse of the entire State.
Georgia's Livestock Expo
to Feature South African
TIFTON—A prominent
South African animal scientist,
who has gained a reputation in
the U. S. as a man who can
judge the fertility of a cow by
looking at her, will address
visitors to J±e Livestock
Exposition ’72 for beef here
Oct. 26-27.
Dr. Jan Bonsma, head of the
animal science department of
the University of Pretoria, will
speak to the region’s beef
producers here at the Rural
Development Center (RDC) on
both days.
Dr. Bonsma is in the U. S.
on Sabbatical leave and will be
conducting lecture tours in
various parts of the country.
Most of his time in the U. S.
between mid-September and
November will be spent in
Athens at the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture.
Dr. Bonsma has visited the U.
S. several times during the past
10 years.
While in this country, the
animal scientist will lecture on
a number of beef cattle sub
jects such as functional
efficiency, livestock ecology,
breeding for adaptability,
heritable defects in cattle and
breed creation.
He has prepared lectures
supporting a global approach
to livestock production and the
total interaction between total
environment.
During the two-day
Exposition, exhibits and
equipment displays concerned
with all phases of beef pro
duction, processing and mar
keting will be housed under
two large cirus type tents.
Outside exhibit and demon
stration space will be provided
near the sheltered areas.
Special events planned
during the Expo are a
demonstration of digestion
study techniques using a
fistulated steer, a calf working
demonstration and a com
parison of the economics of
marketing light-weight versus
heavy feeder calves.
Disabled Veterans
Get Allowance For
Damaged Clothing
Atlanta — Many severely
disabled Georgia veterans,who
have long been plagued by ex
cessive wear on their clothing
due to the various prosthetic
devices which they must use,
will now be receiving some
much-needed financial relief.
Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler said
that one of the provisions of
recently-enacted Public Law
92-328 is an annual clothing
allowance of $l5O. “This
allowance,” said Wheeler, “is
to aid disabled veterans in the
and he said that the clothing
allowance is a benefit that has
long been overdue.
Veterans who wear pros
thetic devices have had the
option of sending their worn
clothing to the Veterans Ad
ministration for repair but be
cause of a considerable period
of time involved in having re
pairs made, a veteran was de
prived of his clothing and, in
effect, most of the cost was
absorbed by him.
“The $l5O annual clothing
allowance should prove to be
a much more equitable solu
tion to a long-endured prob
lem,” Wheeler said.
The clothing allowance pro
vision of Public Law 92-328
became effective on Aug. 1,
1972, and application for the
allowance may be made at any
Georgia Department of Vet
erans Service office.
We live in a time of anxiety and doubt and feelings of separa
tion from their government have risen sharply among the Ameri
can people during the past year.
A recent reliable poll shows an increase from 40 to 47 per cent
in the past year in the feelings of being shut out from govern
ment. The voters who said they would vote for Nixon registered
3 per cent “alienation” while those who favored George Wallace
registered a 56 per cent “shut-out” sentiment.
In their answers to questions, the “shut-out” Americans said
they simply felt ignored by the individuals and institutions in
charge of the country. They believed that what they think doesn’t
matter very much, that people in power are out to take advantage
of them, that the people running the country really don’t care
what happens to the average man, and that the rich get rich and
the poor get poorer. They also feel painfully left out of things
going on around them.
The highest degree of anxiety was found among Americans of
low income, the least education, those who live in big cities,
people over age 50 and labor union members. The separation
feeling seemed deepest in urbanized, industrial America.
There is no doubt that the impact of this feeling will have an
effect on elections all over the country this year. Candidates who
have been talking about restoring the government to the people
are now talking about restoring the people to their government.

DR. GENE TUTEN headaches, and industry has
found that about one third of all employee absences is caused
by headaches. It is easy to understand why the “simple head
ache” isn’t so simple and why it is such a drain on humanity.
Explained simply, headaches are the result of pressure
which continue to mount. The mounting pressure cause
tension which builds up in the glands and muscles, finally re
sulting in the headache pains.
Chiropractic adjustments, administered by the strong, com
petent hands of a skilled practitioner, releases the pres
sures caused by pinched nerves, eases the tensions and re
lieves pain fast.
The chiropractor, an expert in matters relating to the
spinal column and the body’s nervous system, locates the
source of pressure and effectively removes it by scientific
adjustments. Another Health and Life Article from the Of
