HUIET MAKES 1960 EMPLOYMENT REPORT
Atlanta, February I—Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
Huiet, left, in making the annual report for 1960 of the
Georgia Department of Labor to the General Assembly
and the Governor, tells House Speaker George L. Smith II
of Emanuel County that the Georgia State Employment
Service of the Department filled over 120,000 non-farm
jobs last year, ranging from top executives to highly skilled
technicians. These workers represent the breadwinners
of a city and county more than three times the size of
Augusta and Richmond County. The Advisory Council to
the Georgia Department of Labor, Employment Security
Agency, created by the General Assembly to assist Com
missioner Huiet in solving problems concerning employ
ment security, recommended to the Commissioner that the
General Assembly enact no legislation concerning the pro
gram this year in order to give more time for experience
under the changes enacted by the General Assembly in
1960. The council is made up of leaders representing em
ployers, employees and the general public. Commissioner
Huiet also reported that for the first time in history
Georgia’s non-farm employment stayed above one million
for an entire year.
Little White House Museum Was
Scene Os Memorial Service Monday
“Fellow spirit” and friend of
Franklin D. Roosevelt was hon
ored Monday at Warm Springs
at memorial exercises on the
79th birthday of the late Presi
dent. Old friends, former neigh
bors and others gathered, as
has been their custom since he
died at his Little White House
here in 1945, to recall his great
friendliness to them and his
deep concern for the welfare
and happiness of others, not
only at home but around the
world.
The honored “fellow spirit”
was the late Miss Georgia Mus
tian Wilkins, of Columbus, who
was reared in Warm Springs
and whose philanthropies were
widely felt in this area long
before her death in 1959 at the
age of 77. Living alone and
rated a millionaire, she gave
wherever and whenever she
felt she could help less fortu
nate people to help themselves.
She gave to individuals and in
stitutions — to 4-H groups,
schools, churches, colleges, art
museums — often beyond the
limits urged by her advisers.
The exercises were held in
the new Little White House
museum, a building which had
been Miss Wilkins’ summer

will to the Franklin D. Roose
velt Warm Springs Memorial
Commission, which administers
the famous shrine for the state.
Adjoining the Little White
House grounds, it is being add
ed to the group of buildings
open to the public. Remodeling
and extensive landscaping, fi
nanced largely by $75,000 in
state funds provided by Gov.
Ernest Vandiver, are nearing
completion. Dedication of the
museum building by the gov
ernor is planned for next April
12, anniversary of the Presi-
' dent’s death.
The speaker today was J. Q.
• Davidson, Columbus attorney,
; friend and legal adviser to Miss
Wilkins for many years. In his
address prepared for delivery
he said:
“Miss Georgia Wilkins’ his
tory clearly shows that she
spent her entire life, and gen
erously used her material pos
sessions trying to improve the
lot and status of her fellow
men.
“At the office we tried each
year to make Miss Georgia cor
relate the amount of her giving
to the amount of her charitable
contributions which were de-
World's Wafer Supply Is Still
Plentiful Says Health Official
Man is capable of providing
for his water requirements on
earth whatever the future may
bring in population and indus
trial growth.
This outlook is based firm
ly on existing knowledge of
the world’s water supply, ac
cording to the 1960 progress
review of the Water Quality
Service of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health.
W. H. Weir, director of the
Water Quality Service, said
that man has vast capabilities
of learning much more about
his physical world and has at
his disposal practically unlim
ited scientific resources to con
trol that part of his destiny
which is played by water.
Many writers of popular ar
ticles on water supply who have
painted a gloomy picture of the
future water supply have not
taken into consideration the
basic facts nor the conditions
governing the world’s water
supply, Mr. Weir said. The cy
cle of water in the oceans and
in the atmosphere and in the
streams and rivers goes on
continuously, and it is impos
sible to destroy water. Billions
of people have used water
over the centuries but have not
destroyed it.
“It is the price that man is
willing to pay for water that
determines its availability when
and where he wants it now or
will want it in the future.”
Mr. Weir’s report pointed out.
In Georgia it is the function
of local governments to pro
vide the most adequate possible
supply of safe water and sew
age treatment facilities to serve
the people and industries in
ductible for federal income tax
Durposes. Result, no success.
Her giving was of herself,
which included any part of her
wealth that might be needed.
“I think what made Miss
Wilkins and Mr. Roosevelt such
close friends was their great
concern for the welfare of
their fellowmen. This concern
was of such an intense nature
that it became a spiritual qual
ity having a profound effect
unon their respective ways of
life.
“For example, it set the
pattern of Mr. Roosevelt’s leg
islative program in Congress,
and it caused Miss Georgia to
use her life and wealth to help
others. . . They were motivated
by the same spiritual qualitv.
“It seems to me that Miss
Georgia’s gift of her Warm
Springs home to this Commis
sion is the most natural thing
in the world. It was a place she
loved. It was a place in which
she could go for quiet reflec
tion. It was a nlace full of liv
ing memories. It was an estab
lished and rooted connection
with the past, present and fu
ture.
“The land upon which it was
built was a part of her youth
and of the beginning of her
nhilanthropic endeavors. It was
here she met Mr. Roosevelt, a
fellow spirit, and found her
concern for others shared by a
vibrant and crusading person
ality. It was where she dedicat
ed her life to doing something
about this concern with all she
had. . . She knew this concern
was deeper than just satisfying
man’s physical needs, but in
cluded man’s spiritual need to
be considered and lived with as
something of infinite worth.
“Miss Georgia was, in my
opinion, a very wonderful and
unique person. She was gentle,
but not soft. She was quiet, but
not afraid or unable to speak.
She was reserved, but possess
ed of dynamic resolve. She was
generous, but not a touch. She
was gracious, but not effective.
She appreciated gratitude, but
abhorred sycophancy. She
was intelligent, but humble. . .
She hated injustice, especially
where it was without reason
or firm foundation, but was
quick to forgive if the repen
tence was genuine. She avoid
ed and disliked publicity, but
did not want to be taken for
granted.
“She loved beauty in all its
forms — art, poetry, books,
dramatic performances, music
and lovely personalities. She
traveled far and near to enjoy
them, for they were the food
that fed her beautiful soul. It
was this love of beauty which
gave her courage and strength
to maintain her resolve and to
keep aglow her inspiration to
make the lives of others as
beautiful as she could. Beauty
unshared meant little to her:
but beauty shared was the food
of her life.”

their areas. The Water Quality
Service cooperates with all lo
cal governments in assuring
that the requirements for these
services will be met.
Public water supply and sew
erage projects have received the
major portion of the time and
attention of the Water Quality
staff. Industrial waste treat
ment also requires a large share
of time.
Patterns have developed in
methods of dealing with the
problems of supplying enough
safe water and satisfactory
treatment of municipal and in
dustrial wastes. These include
consolidation of small systems
into metropolitan systems, with
