Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Peek of
Oxford, Ga., think it’s "just aw

heard about northern winters
but they confessed they hadn’t

The Peeks are visiting Mr. and
Mrs. Philip Ruggeri, 57 Park

Over-the-year gains were en

Textile employment numbered

‘‘Georgia is growing and its ;
widely diversified economy is ;
healthy,” Commissioner Huiet j
stated. "Recent weeks have shown
some increase in the number of
persons unemployed. This is nor- '
mal for seasonal layoffs and the '
additional cutbacks which have ;
occurred have been small and j
scattered. The present high level
of employment is still a source of !
optimism.”
Workers in Georgia have shar- ! ’
ed too in the national trend in
wage levels. Average weekly j
earnings of production workers
in Georgia manufacturing plants
amounted to $60.19 or $1.52 per '
hour for an average work week .
of 39.6 hours in January. One
year ago weekly earnings on such
jobs averaged $55.61.
