It’s human nature to take re
newed interest in sprucing up
one's surroundings in the
spring. In 1946 two organiza
tions came up with a plan to
channel this inclination into
organized efforts to improve
not only individual homes, but
entire communities as well.
Now, 16 years later, the pro
gram is still going with a keen
spirit of competition among
some 140 communities in 40
North Georgia counties.
The program has been spon
sored since its beginning by the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
in cooperation with the Uni
versity of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service, which
has representatives in each
county in its county and home
demonstration agents.
Communities are now sign
ing up for this year’s program,
which will again be sponsored
by the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, according to Rich
ard E. Smith, Extension com
munity development specialist.
Deadline for entering this
year’s program is April 10. Res
idents of any community in
terested in competing this year
may get more information by
contacting their county or home
demonstration agent, Mr.
Smith said.
Families in a participating
community band together to
set up programs and goals of
their own choosing designed to
improve their homes, farms and
communities in general. Their
programs usually are built
around things of current inter
est in the community.
Assistance in planning and
carrying out a community im
provement program is provided
by county Extension agents and
other local agricultural and
service agencies.
Business men, both locally
and at the area level, have
given full support to the pro
grams with their time, inter
est and money, Mr. Smith said.
“These men know that a pros
perous community brings pros
perity to all businesses of the
area,” he commented.
Particip ati n g communities
will have all summer to work
on their selected projects. They
will be rated on their accom
plishments in late October.
Cash awards will be presented
to top-rated communities at
the annual awards dinner at the
Dinkier Plaza Hotel in early
December.
Upson county, with five com
munities organized, will take
part in the program this year
for the first time.
Other counties in the area
are Fannin, Union, Towns, Ra
bun, Gilmer, Pickens, Dawson,
Lumpkin, White, Habersham,
Stephens, Bartow, Cherokee,
Forsyth, Hall, Banks, Polk,
Paulding, Cobb, Gwinnett,

Sen. Talmadge Says Trade
Act Should Protect Industries
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
(D-Ga.) said today the success
or failure of the Kennedy Ad
ministration’s proposed trade
expansion program “hinges up
on the safeguards it provides
for American jobs.”
The Senator’s views on trade
policy legislation were includ
ed in a speech prepared for de
livery at the annual meeting
of the American Cotton Manu
facturers Institute in Palm
Beach, Fla.
He told the textile industri
alists that he believes Presi
dent Kennedy is “correct" in
seeking legislation to permit
the United States to share in
the growing prosperity of the
European Economic Commu
nity.
“It is logical for him to seek
broader authority to cope with
trade problems in a fast
changing world situation," said
the Senator.
“For my part, however,” he
added, “I am gravely concern
ed over the failure of provisions
in the present trade agreement
act to protect individual Ameri
can industries from debilitat
ing injury as the result of in
discriminate imports.”
He described as “heartening”
recent Presidential approval of
tariff increases on certain car
pets and glass products and
added:
“This hasn't happened too of
ten in recent years; this was a
refreshing, encouraging change.
And I hope sincerely it was
the beginning of a trend.”
Talmadge, a member of t h e
Senate’s trade policy-writing
Finance Committee, expressed
his opinion that the Adminis
tration's trade bill will be re
shaped before it wins House
approval.
While the Senator offered no
detailed appraisal of the Ad
ministration bill he did allude
to those provisions dealing with
government assistance for
workers and companies idled
by further reduction in U. S.
tariffs.
“Our farmers, workers and
investors simply cannot be sub
jected to downward trends in
employment, production, sales,
prices and profits while in
ventories, material costs, labor
costs and imports go skyward.
Not if we are to maintain a
healthy, expanding, and pros
perous economy in our land.
“I need not tell you that
manufactured articles cannot
compete under a system of free
trade where the cost of labor
is a paramount factor. Our
products just cannot compete
with those from Europe and
Asia where their labor costs
range from one-fourth to one
tenth of ours.”
“It is my conviction,” he add
ed, “that the remedy for this
does not lie in placing unem
ployed American workers and
distressed American industries
on the government payroll.
There must be a more reason
able and workable prescrip
tion.”
Sen. Talmadge said he be
lieves provisions to safeguard
jobs could be “thoughtfully and
carefully developed" and would
not be inconsistant with the
objectives of a new trade pol
icy.
The Senator touched also on
a subject of prime interest to
his textile industry audience —
the Agriculture Department’s
request for Tariff Commission
approval of an import fee on
Cason J. Callaway
Tribute Today at
Callaway Gardens
For the first time since the
Little White House here was
opened by the state as a na
tional shrine in 1948, no public
ceremony on April 12 observing
the anniversary of the death in
the famous cottage of Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt will
be held this year.
Instead, members of the
Memorial Commission, who will
be in Warm Springs for their
annual business meeting, will
journey to the Callaway Gar
dens at nearby Pine Mountain
to pay tribute to the memory of
the late Cason J. Callaway, who
was a member of the original
commission and who died April
12 last year. Mr. Callaway also
was a close personal friend of
FDR. Before their departure
from the Little White House,
Chairman Chas. F. Palmer, of
Atlanta, will note the anniver-
I sary with brief remarks.
At the gardens the commis
' sioners and their wives will be
present at the dedication of a
beautiful chapel erected as a
memorial to Ida Cason Calla
way, Mother, of Mr. Cason J.
| Callawav.
the cotton content of textile
products equal to the differen
ce in raw cotton costs which
presently gives foreign mills a
$42.50 per bale advantage over
U. S. mills.
Recalling that the raw cot
ton cost differential subject was
included in the program de
signed last May by President
Kennedy to help solve the na
tion’s textile import problems,
the Senator asserted:
“It is imperative that the
raw cotton cost equalization fee
be established as a matter of
equity and justice for you
manufacturers, for the benefit
of our cotton farmers and in the
interest of the general public."
Talmadge said also that he
“resented” the Japanese tex
tile industri’s efforts to dis
suade the Tariff Commission
from approving the fee.
“Many of you here, I am
sure, recall the efforts we went
to in the post-war days to help
Japan get back on her feet —
back in the textile business and
many other businesses. To be
sure, Japan's friendship is im
portant to us. But her textile
industry went beyond the
bounds of good order in rais
ing a world wide clamor of
protest against our govern
ment’s efforts to correct an in
tolerably unfair situation here
at home.
“Some press articles would
lead us to believe that Japan
would attempt to frustrate the
international textile trade ar
rangements if our government
establishes a cotton cost offset
fee. This is incredible but
should it come to pass, I as
sure you it will not go unnotic
ed on the part of the U. S. Con
gress.”

Spring Fever
Hits Fishermen
There’s a fisherman at our
house who has spring fever.
Day after day he sits, list
lessly, staring into the fire,
sipping on a cup of hot cof
fee, smoking too many cigar
ettes, every so often giving out
with a sigh like a broken cal
iope.
Once in a blue moon he
rouses, to go into a frenzy of
activity that defies description.
About once a week he tears
down to the basement, digs his
Fishin’ Merc 110 out of storage
and goes over it like a mother
coddling a baby, taking off the
cowl and wiping away dust that
has not collected, then replac
ing the cowl and cleaning away
specks of dirt that exist only
in his imagination.
He takes down fishing rods
that shine already, then gets
out wax and shines them even
more, rubbing and polishing
until they rival the sun in brill
iance. His fishing reels get a
real workover! He takes them
apart, screw by screw, piling
up parts in a belter - skelter
heap in an old tea strainer.
Then he sloshes them (the
parts) around in a grease sol
vent, shines each part carefully
and puts the whole business back
together, adding a dab of lub
ricant here and there where he
thinks it necessary.
His tackle boxes (three of
them) have had cleaning jobs
so often the metal is wearing
thin. Inside and out they have
had rust removed, new com
partment liners installed, paint
jobs, the oil changed in t h e
hinges, —a real Class A spring
tuneup from top to bottom. And
about the time he gets the job
done he’s ready to start doing
it all over again.
The same with his constantly
growing collection of lures. The
hooks on them by now (after 18
separate sharpenings) are hon-
ed to a point guaranteed to
puncture the mouth of the most
horny-headed fish. The paint
has all been re-done, and all the
screws tightened. They are per
fect.
In between these frenzied
periods the fisherman sits and
stapes and wonders when
spring will arrive. For sanity’s
sake it had better be soon!
