because the project lacked pri
orities for manpower and ma
terial, it moved very slowly.
As the campaign improved in
the Pacific and bases were es
tablished closer to enemy tar
gets, the B-36 found itself in
even stiffer competition for
scarce resources with bombers
already in production.
By the summer of 1945, Ger
many had been defeated and
the end of the war was in sight.
But the requirement for a long
range bomber, capable of strik
ing from bases on this contin
ent, had not changed. It had, in
fact, been reaffirmed by the
tremendous cost in lives and
material incurred in the war
time campaign for advance
ba r es.
C onvair was instructed to
shift emphasis to the B-36 pro
gram. The XB-36 was wheeled
out of its hangar on its own
gear on September 8. 1945.
Nine months later engine-run
tests were begun. In August,
1946, with 7,000 anxious Con
vair employees lining the fence
along the runway, the world’s
largest bomber roared into the
air on its maiden flight.

That this airplane, without
striking a blow, made a great
contribution to our national de

If this be true, they have helped

With retirement of its fleet

Governor, Labor Commissioner View '59 Economy
Atlanta, February 3 - Georgia Governor Ernest Vandiver and
Georgia Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet are enthusiastic
about Georgia’s economic prospects in 1959. Commissioner
Huiet, right, is showing Governor Vandiver the Georgia De
partment of Labor's 22nd annual report to the Governor and
General Assembly. Covering the year 1958, the report reveals
that Georgia wage earners carried home the same amount as
in 1957 when the non-farm payrolls of the State was $3,750.-
0(10.000 despite the fart that during 1958 unemployed Georgia
workers were paid a record annual total of job insurance, over
$42,000,000. Total job insured wages paid to Georgia industrial
and business workers during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1958, was $25,000,000 more than the previous fiscal year, 1957,
when insured wages totalled $2,396,000,000.
Expanding Cities, New Highways
Will Change Face Os The Nation
Alaska, Nevada, Arizona, Florida and
Calif. Will Be Fastest Growing States
Washington, D. C. — Spread
ing cities, fast-growing high
way networks, and a tremen
dous boost in construction of
homes will change the face of
the nation in the next decade,
according to a report published
here by the Kiplinger Wash
ington Editors.
To take on new businesses
and enterprises, cities will have
to fan out. Suburbs will grow
and join other suburbs from ad
joining cities, creating new res
idential and shopping centers
between cities.
New houses will be built at
the rate of a million and a half
a year by the late 60’s, a gain
of around 40 per cent over
present totals.
“To relieve growing conges
tion highway networks will
grow faster, but in doing so will
create new congested areas not
originally imagined. Commut
ing distances will be longer, so
more families will have two
> cars,” the report states.
“Farms will be larger and
will utilize more machinery.
Many of today’s farmers will
be tempted by wages from
nearby plants, many of them
in the farm areas. Some farm
ers will even move into the
cities, become part-time farm
ers and commute to the farm
to oversee it, thus holding two
jobs simultaneously,” Kipling
er says.
“With expansion of the cities,
local civic problems will in
crease. Higher local taxes will
be levied to support all the
special services needed,” pre
dicts Kiplinger. “More police
and fire services. Better water
supplies, health and sanitation
with increased facilities. More
electric power. More tele
phones.”
Along with the increase in
city size, growth rate of cer
tain states will rise. Alaska will
be the fastest growing state
with a population increase of
97 per cent by 1970. Nevada
will increase 92 per cent, Ari
zona, 79 per cent, Florida, 65,
California. 57, and Deleware,
52 per cent.
Other states with population
growth with 30 per cent or
more are Maryland, 45: Utah.
44; Michigan, 43; Colorado and
New Mexico, both 42; Oregon,
38; Ohio, 37; Texas, 34; Wash
ington, 33: Indiana, 32: and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Connecticut and New Jersey,
30 per cent.
The population shift, how
ever, will result in some states
losing their present population.
A drop of 20 per cent is pre
dicted for Arkansas; Mississip
pi, 6 per cent, Oklahoma, 4 per
cent and Vermont, 1/2 per cent.

1970 — State by State. Look at

with the average national
growth of 27 per cent.

Company’s 57.000 square-mile
service area increased from a
record 8.6 billion kilowatt
hours in 1957 to a new high of
8.9 billion kilowatt-hours in
1958.
Biggest increase In electric

j recorded in the residential field,
where the company’s customers

I gain.
Approximately 13.000 new
customers were added during
the year, including more than
10,500 residential customers and
approximately 2,300 in the
commercial and industrial
fields.
The increased number and
