For 1961, Comet continues the styling which has made it one of the most sought-after
compacts in the market. A new grille and modest ornamental changes identify the 1961
models of the two and four-door sedans and the two and four-door station wagons. In
addition to the standard 85 horsepower economy engine, the 1961 Comet offers an optional^
101 horsepower six.
The 1961 Comet To Be
Unveiled Soon At Dealers
The Comet will retain its
basic styling for 1961 and will
offer a higher performance op
tional engine, Ben D. Mills,
Ford Motor Company vice pres
ident and general manager of
Lincoln-Mercury Division, an
nounced today.
“The Comet’s styling econo
my, quality and riding features
have been firmly established
with the public, “Mr. Mills
said. “To meet the demand, we
are planning to produce more
Comets for 1961 and will as
semble the new models at
plants in San Jose, California:
Kansas City, Missouri; and
Lorain, Ohio. The Comet was
assembled only at the Lorain
plant when it was introduced
six months ago.”
Mr. Mills also pointed out
that Comet prices will remain
competitive with the lower
priced compacts.
Two engines will be availa
ble for the 1961 Comet. The
standard 85 horsepower econo
my engine, offering excellent
gasoline mileage, will be con
tinued. In addition, a 101 horse
power engine will be offered in
the new model Comet for the
first time at amodest extra
cost. The new engine has a
displacement of 170 cubic inch

Georgia Tax
Structure
Is Lagging
A detailed study of industry
applied taxes shows Georgia
lagging in fourth place among
the eight southeastern states,
it was announced this week.
A 70-page report made pub
lic by the Georgia Tax Re
sear Foundation says Florida
has the most desirable state
tax structure for industrial
growth, followed by Alabama
and Tennessee.
On the heels of the announ
cement, Clifford M. Clarke, ex
ecutive vice president of the
Associated Industries of Geor
gia, called the report “not en
courging.”
j “For a state that desperately
needs more payrolls, a tax
structure less favorable to plant
expansion and operation than
^hat of neighboring states does
' the state a disservice and cre
jates a handicap to progress in
I Georgia.” Clarke said.
j The Foundation for purposes
of the study calculated taxes
on an imaginary corporation
1 having an equal gross product,
equal sales and equal costs in
each of the eight states
The study shows that taxes
!on each dollar of sales would
i compare like this: Florida, 7.-
833 cents; Alabama, 8.031; Ten
i nessee, 8.158; Georgia. 8.162;
South Carolina. 8 203: Virginia,
i 8.212: North Carolina, 8. 237,
and Missippi, 8 319.
“The money this mythical
i corporation made and the tax
ies it paid shows in a very real
; way which state has the best
I tax climate for industry,” the
.GTRF said in a summary.
: Property and licenses taxes
on the municipal and county
; level were not considered in
the study. They vary greatlv
between the eight states, and
also within the states them
’ selves, the GTRF report stated.
Local taxes in Georgia will
be taken up in a later analy
sis by the fact-finding organi
sation, its chairman, G. Ever
ett Millican of Atlanta, said.
|He said initial work on the
new project will be completed
by December.
The foundation was orga
nized in February by the As
sociated Industries of Georgia.
Its objective is a continuing
study of Georgia taxes and
their impact upon the indust
rial and business economy of
jthe state. The eight-state com
' parison, five months in pre
i partition, was GTRF s first
i project.

troque, 156 foot - pounds, at
2400 rpm.
The Comet continues with
four models for 1961: a two
door sedan, four-door sedan,
two-door station wagon, and
four-door station wagon. All
are available with either the
standard or optional engine,
and with manual or automatic
transmission.
Main styling changes include
a new aluminum grille, new
fender ornamentation, and new
standard and optional trim
fabrics. Standard fabrics offer
more color harmony with ex
terior colors, and there is
greater variety in the optional
fabrics.
Basically, the 1961 Comet
retains the successful sheet
metal treatment of the 1960
model: the styling balance of
a larger car, luxury line roof,
canted taillights, and ample
luggage space.
Comet’s unitized body is rust
protected in underbody areas
with a galvanized coating.
Tests have shown this zinc-coat
ing more than doubles the rust
resistance of the Comet.
Comet’s “big car” ride is due
to a combination of 114-inch
wheelbase and carefully - en
gineered suspension system.
Rubber mountings enable
wheels to absorb road shock,
while wheel travel and spring
rate are comparable to luxury
cars, giving the car a level,
well-controlled ride.
The Comet will have a wide
variety of options and acces
sories as it had in 1960 models,
but offers an air conditioning
unit for the first time in 1961.
Comet dimensions are ample
for a family of six to travel
comfortably with their lug
gage. The sedans are 194.8
inches long, 54.5 inches high,
and 70.4 inches wide. Effective
headroom is 38 9 inches in the
front, and 37.6 in the back.
Station wagons, on a 109.5 inch
wheelbase, are 191.8 inches
long, 55.1 inches high, and 70.4
inches wide. Headroom and
legroom is basically the same
as the sedans. Sedans have
luggage capacity of 28.5 cubic
feet, and station wagons have
cargo space of 76.2 cubic feet.
Suggestions
Are Invited On
Mental Hospital
Suggestions in regard to the
proposed 500-bed mental hos
pital to be built in the Atlanta
area have been requested from
leaders and members of sev
eral organizations interested in
mental health.
Dr. John H. Venable, direc
tor of the Georgia Department
of Public Health, has written to
the head of each organization
asking for written suggestions
about the hospital and its pro
gram.
Any other qualified indivi
dual interested in the mental
health program is also invited
to submit suggestions. Dr. Ven
able explained. All suggestions,
he said, will be given fair and
serious consideration, and will
be most helpful in long range
planning.
Dr. Venable pointed out in
his letter than within a very
short time the architect for the
Atlanta hospital will be select
ed. Details on the services to be
offered at the hospital are be
ing worked out by the Milledge
ville State Hospital, the Health
Department, and Emory Uni
versity.
Plans for a four to six mil
lion dollar hospital in Atlanta
were included in a "blue print"
for mental health worked out
by the Health Dept, and issued
August 24 by Governor Ernest
Vandiver. The hospital will be
located convenient to Emory
University, on the grounds of
the Georgian Clinic for Alco
holism on Briarcliff Road in
Atlanta.
Farm Earnings
Should Be
Reported To SS
Some farm workers in this
area are not receiving social
security credit for their earn
ings and are depriving their
families of valuable financial
protection, according to Jo
seph R. Murphy, manager of the
Atlanta social security office.
“These are farm employees
who have worked at least 20
days or been paid $l5O cash
wages by one employer during
the year. Either their farm
employers do not realize that
such earnings should be re
ported or they feel that it is
just too much of a bother”,
Mr. Murphy stated today.
“The protective value of
proper social security reports
field once yearly was empha
sized recently by the death of
a local man whom I shall call
Ray Sanders”, he continued.
Mrs. Sanders and her 3 small
children will not be eligible
for any social security benefits
because the farm operator for
whom her husband worked is
also deceased. He did not re
port the employee’s wages, and
left no records. Mr. Sanders
worked for him only a short
time but this credit, if it eould
have been established, would
have been enough when com
bined with that from his other
jobs, to give him and his fam
ily social security protection.
This could have made his fam
ily eligible for payments of at
least sll,Out) in benefits be

Newton Library
Notes....
I
These hot Indian Summer
days one of the nicest places
you can find to relax is The
Newton County “ AIR CON
DITIONED” Library.
Beginning a new policy this
week we are going to give one
or more brief annotations of
new books recently added to
the Library.
Howard Spring, a very pro
lific British novelist who has
written such favorites as my
Son, My Son; The House In
Between; and These Lovers
Fled Away, has penned a very
engrossing novel — All The
Day Long. Through the lives
of Maria, Louisa and Augusta
moves an extraordinary com
pany of characters: a hugely
rich lord and his crippled wife;
a prostitute’s daughter; the
country people of Cornwall;
war heroes, artists, politicians
and parsons; scientists, career
women and the “new people”
of the years following World
War 11.
The Queen's Grace by Jan
Westcott is the exciting love
story of Katryn Parr, King
Henry VIII’s sixth wife — the
final one who had the “honor”
of outliving him. Katryn was a
good wife to the aged Lord
Borough, her first husband,
then the aristocratic and
kindly Lord Latimer, her se
cond, King Henry VIII the
third and finally upon Henry’s
death the true love of her life.
Tom Seymour became husband
number four. A great deal of
English history is interwoven
with this absorbing tale.
Who Is My Neighbor? edited
by Esther Pike is a compila
tion of articles written by four
teen men and women who have
proven through their own lives
and work that they know their
neighbor and care. Some of us
do not recognize our neighbor
when we see him or hear about
him — he might be socially or
physically handicapped, ne
glected, mentally ill, an alco-
18 and additional payments for
life to Mrs. Sanders at age 62.
“This, although not a ty
pical ease, could happen to al
most anyone. Don’t let it hap
pen to your family”, concluded
Mr. Murphy, “be sure your
farm employer reports your
wages; if in doubt, contact your
social security office.
holic, illiterate, old— and this
book will be an introduction to

know him better. The social
application of Christianity
which is the theme of this book
should prove helpful to many
of us.

about the only man who had
the audacity to run for and be
elected to four terms as presi

latest one by Richard Harrity
and Ralph G. Martin, The Hu

as the title suggests, his hu
