(Our Advertisers Are Assured Os Result*)
his first official acts was to re
commend necessary state legis
lation for obtaining the federal
aid.
The result: Georgia to date has
32 new hopsitals, additions to
eight, existing hopsitals, 38 public
health centers and three other
type hospital projects completed
over the state at a cost of $25,-
603.411, while hospitals and other
health facilities now under con
struction will cost an additional
estimated $11,937,712.
“This means,” the Commerce
Department says, “that the hospi
tal construction program; now
completed and under way, will
'cost approximately $37.5-million,
and, in addition, the tentative
construction program calls for an
expenditure of S2O-million. The
. program also means that hospital
। and other health facilities in the
: state will be built and improved
over the period of a few years at
a cost of from $55-million to S6O
-
Dr. R. C. Williams, director of
Georgia Department of Health’s
hospital services, predicts in the
article that within the next few
years the need for hospital
facilities in the state’s rural areas
will be more fully met. In bring
ing the hospital program close to
the homes of the people, Dr.
Williams reasons that numerous
hospitals dotting the state not only
will make it more convenient for
the sick rural areas to see a
doctor and obtain hospital serv
i ice, often an emergency, but
should eliminate many long,
I hurried trips to city medical
' centers.
“We feel,” Dr. Williams said,
“that 40 to 50 miles is too far for
patients to have to go to obtain
medical attention, especially for
' emergency and general treatment.
i There are a lot of highway ac
cidents over the state and often
the victim’s life depends upon
getting to a hospital immediately
for a blood transfusion or other
treatment.
“The hospital program in Geor
gia is designed primarily to
provide hospital care for ALL the
; citizens of the state, all races and
i economic groups, whether in the
I cities or in the rural counties.”
When the program is complet
। cd, it is anticipated that better
hospital services will be avail
able to all Georgians, and there
I will be a better distribution of
i physicians and medical care
I throughout the state, he declar
ed.
Georgia Leads Nation
In Broiler Production
Indications are that Georgia
for the second time has become
the nation's champion broiler
raising state. In the first eleven
months of 1952 the state's hatch
eries turned out 119,254,000
chicks, some 20-million more
than its nearest rival — Mis
souri —for the mythical crown,
according to figures released by
the U. S. Department of Com
merce's Atlanta regional office.
Georgia’s increase for the ele
ven-month period was 22,746,000;
was 23 percent of all the chickens
hatched in the region, composed
of Georgia, North and South

Report On Vets
First-hand reports on the work
lof the State Department of
Veterans Service were made to
more than 15,000 Georgians dur
ing 1952 by William K. Barrett,
Department Director.
In making these reports, Bar
rett traveled more than 9,000
miles and spoke to 86 individual
groups. He addressed veterans
posts of every major veterans
organization in the state and was
called on to report on the Depart
ment’s activities by numerous
civic and business organizations.
Among the larger groups ad
dressed by Bprrett were the four
Veterans Rehabilitation Con
ferences sponsored by the Depart
ment during the year. These
meetings, hela at Dublin, Moul
trie, Elberton and Carrollton,
were specially planned to ac
quaint those interested in veterans
work with the latest techniques
and procedures in handling
claims for ex-servicemen.
Georgia laws, under which the

Tax On Intangibles
Unchanged, Cook Says
The new constitutional a

to a ruling by Attorney General
Eugene Cook.
Mr. Cook handed down his
opinion in answer to a request
from State Revenue Commis

amendment “does not place any
