Newspaper Page TextCaldwell Announces Field Investigators’ Schedules ATLANTA (PRN) Comptroller General Johnnie L. Caldwell has announced the next three months’ schedule for the Insurance Field Investigation Team. The team, which travels throughout the state on a regular monthly basis to answer insurance questions and help with insurance claims problems, has been in operations over a year and has met with growing success in all areas of the state. As a result of their efforts, the number of Georgians receiving help from the Georgia Insurance Department’s Claims Division has increased to about 40,000 annually. Caldwell praised the news media throughout the state for their cooperation in publicizing the field investigators’ visits. “More and more newspapers, radio stations, and television stations are beginning to announce our visits to their areas,” he said. “I want to thank those who have helped us so far and urge others to help us in the future,” Caldwell added. “It is only with their cooperation that we can reach every Georgian who has insurance problems.” The schedule of visits for the Georgia Insurance Field Investigation Team in January, February, and March is as follows: Investigator James Kirk: THE NAHUNTA WOMAN'S CLUB NEWS Making ceramics was the topic of discussion when Mrs. Frank Nadeau presented the program Monday night at the Nahunta Woman’s Club mon thly meeting.

The remaining items on your list are likely to be matters of concern to your State leg islators. Write or call and visit your State Representative or Senator to explain your con cerns. If you have any solid ideas about solutions, we in the legislature will be more than glad to listen to them, since good ideas are rarer than money in government. All of our taxes would be lower if we had more people work ing on solutions to our prob lems. You should also look to the news media to help you watch the legislature. Although we can’t expect our newpapers and radio and TV stations to cover all 180 Representatives and 56 Senators, most will report on key votes and issues, as well as the activities of legislators from the area. I recommend that you clip the weekly newpaper article ab out your local Representative and Senator, as these articles are likely to give information about major votes, which will probably correspond to some of the concerns you have on your list. If items you have listed aten’t receiving action by the legislature, call your Repre sentative or Senator and talk to him. You will find that most State legislators are ea ger to inform and serve the citizens, who, after all, put them in office. The important thing to rea lize about increasing your im pact on government is that until you raise your voice, you have no voice. Most Georgians never contact their legislators and don’t pay much attention to their actions. Those citi zens who do are in a posit ion to make a difference, while their unconcerned neighbors can only complain. In the next article, I will talk about the major issues which will dominate the sess ion and have the greatest impact on you and your fam ily. If you plan to keep up with the General Assembly this year, have your own ideas re ady to check against the bills we now plan to consider. YOUR CO. EXTENSION OFFICE FROM County Agent Paul Thompson BARGAIN CHICKS'? Thinking about purchasing some mail order chicks for your spring flocks ? You may be able to “ spend a dime and save a bunch ”. A phone call to your county agent could save a ” bunch ” of trouble and expense on those mail order and or bargain poultry. Fryers, layers, fancy fowl or water fowl are often pur chased at bargain prices by mail order, or from dealers who have surplus stock to sell. Often these small orders are filled with birds from unheal thy flocks. The people who produce he althy disease free birds are pr oud of their efforts and usua lly tell in their advertising the type of disease prevention program they follow. Any domestic poultry, and most other birds, too, can be tested for pullorum and typhoid. There is a government pro gram, the National Improve rtrerit Plan, for‘testin£ breeder stock for these and other dis eases. Most every year Georgians “ order off ” for baby chicks and expect them to grow in to juicy fryers. You can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear and you can’t make a jui cy fried chicken from a Leg. horn rooster. Leghorn cock erels at $3 or $4 per hundred are no bargain. They are slow growing, take twice as much feed, and never will get fat and juicy like a fryer chick will. It’s a good idea, if possible, to know the hatchery you buy your chicks from. If he has a good reputation for produc ing good quality birds that are disease free, he will be proud of it and glad to prove it to you. His product is worth a little more and actually will produce higher quality birds at lower costs to you. The ex tra initial expense will be returned through reduced loss es and higher production. How to dream with youreyes wide open. Everybody likes to dream. But the chances of seeing a dream become reality are pretty slim. Unless you’re crafty enough to figure out a smart way to save. One that’s practical and painless. One that won’t eat up your paycheck but will still give you a chance to salt some thing away. If you’re smart, you’ll decide on U.S. Savings Bonds. They’re one of the easiest ways to save. Just sign up for the Payroll Sav ings Plan where you work. Then an amount you specify will be automatically set aside from your paycheck and used to buy Bonds. So, if you’re not satisfied with just dreaming, buy U.S. Savings Bonds. Then you’ll find out there’s no such thing as an impossible dream. ■^SERIES E Now E Bonds pay 5'4% interest when held to maturity of 5 years, 10 months 4% the first year;. Bonds are replaced if lost, stolen, or destroyed. When needed they can be cashed at your bank. Interest is not subject to state or local income taxes, and federal tax may be deferred until redemption. Take stock in America Now Bonds mature in less than six years. INFORMATION to, ExtMuio* Home Economist Virginia Raulerson FACTS ON POLYESTER Polyester knits are one of the most popular fabrics on the market. They are available in a wide variety of textures patterns, weights and colors. They are easy to care for, dur able, and wrinkle-free. Polyes. ter may be uncomfortable dur ing warm weather because it does not absorb moisture. They are perfect for the seamstress who like to " sew-it-today ” and “ wear-it-tomorrow ”. When shopping for polyester knits, consider the perform ance characteristics you ex. pect from your garment. Knits that are firm and compact tend to wear better than those that are loose and open. A single or plain knit does not hold its shape as well as a double knit. A compact knit is a good choice for pants because it will not bag or sag. Sometimes knits have flaws. Be on the lookout for these: — snags or holes in the fab ric - irregularity in the pat tern of the knit - color blo tched or streaked - fabric pulled unevenly on the bolt ( there is no way to straight en - fabric cut or torn. If you are shopping at a mill end store, many of the fabrics will be seconds. Most fabrics at mill end stores are not re turnable, so check carefully before you buy. Sometimes you are able to cut around flaws or use them in the hem. Hot water in washing and excessive heat in tumble dry ing is very damaging to poly ester fabric. Polyester knits that are correct should not shrink if they have been pro perly heat set by the manu facturer. Clothes made from firm or stable knits may be stored flat or placed on padded hangers with curved ends and hung in your closet. Stretchable knit garments sh ould be stored flat. Snagging is a common prob lem of knits, particularly for people who wear knits in of fices or places where they are continually rubbing against rough surfaces. A snag is a small turft of thread that has pulled away from the face of the fabric. One simple solution is to gently pull the fabric around the snag. This will draw the threads back into the fab ric. Then pull the remaining th reads to the back of the fab ric with a needle threader. Snagging often occurs during laundering. To prevent this, al ways close • zippers; buttons, and other fasteners. Turn the garment inside out so any snag will be on the wrong side of the garment.

Herman Talmadge REPORTS FROM THE UNOPO STATES SENATE THE NEW CONGRESS opened in an atmosphere of unrest over the continuing war in Vietnam and the failure of the Nixon Administration to produce a peace. This no doubt will be a major issue before the Senate in coming weeks, and I intend to follow developments very closely. It is imperative that every possible effort be put forth to secure an honorable settlement to the fighting in Vietnam and get us out of that unholy mess. In my judgment, the President at the earliest possible time should tell Congress and the American people what progress, if any, has been made toward securing a settlement and bringing our forces and prisoners of war home. ♦ * ♦ PEOPLE HAVE BECOME very confused and frustrated by a series of events that began just before the November election. First, we were told that “peace is at hand.” Then, the President and Henry Kissinger indicated that peace negotiations were moving forward at a very encouraging pace. Then, something happened, negotiations broke down, and the skies over North Vietnam were virtually filled with B-52s and United States bombing Resumed at a record rate. The President owes Congress an explanation. I am not prepared to second-guess the President on the advis ability of intensive bombing at this point, but I do fail to see how the United States can seek peace at a conference table and intensify bombing at the same t'me. It seems to me that the time for fighting harder and bombing more was several years ago when we had several hundred thousand soldiers in the field, having to struggle for their lives, while policy-makers in Wash ington had them fight with one hand tied behind them. * * * THE WAR HAS BEEN wound down, and the number of U. S. forces in Vietnam reduced from 500,000 to under 30.000. Casualties have consequently been greatly decreased, and sever al attempts to win a ceasefire and settlement have been pursued.. But the fact remains that we are still very much involved in Vietnam at great cost in lives and treasure. We are now going into our 11th year of military involvement in Southeast Asia. People need to know, they have a right to know whether peace is at hand or not. I hope the President will come forth with an explanation of what has been going on between the United States and Paris and Hanoi since November and what the outlook is for total disengagement. And. of course, in our efforts, the well-being and safe release of afi American prisoners of war must be guaranteed beyond the shadow of a doubt.
