Regents Resolution Endorses
Members of the Board of Regents of
the University System of Georgia, whose
Chairman is Robert 0. Arnold of Coving
ton, last week presented a resolution which
left no doubt as to their full endorsement
of voluntary pupil participation in non
sectarian prayers in Georgia Schools.
Ironically, the Resolution was in the
process of being drawn up when the Su
preme Court handed down its decision
banning the New York Regents’ prayer
in N. Y. public schools.
The Resolution reads as follows: “The
principle of religious freedom is funda
mental to our American heritage and way
of life. Our forefathers settled in America
(See editorial in today's NEWS)
seeking religious freedom. The authors of
the Bill of Rights of our federal Consti
tution obviously intended to preserve relig
ious freedom. Throughout the years the
several states respectively have supported
this basic principle in recognition of the
fact that our country was founded on the
basis of freedom of religion and not on
the premise or precept of freedom from
religion.
This principle of religious freedom means
that the individual is free to exercise his
religious convictions. Moreover, it means
that church and state are separated, and
as separate entities they are free of con
trol from each other. On the one hand,
the church is free to grow without assist
ance or hindrance from the state, and the
various church denominations are free
from state control. On the other hand, sep
aration does not mean that the state is
godless or that it considers itself exempt
from spiritual values and moral law.
The members of the Board of Regents
of the University System of Georgia, as
representatives of the state, are concerned
with the growth and development of every
phase of the being and personality of the
individual student. A student should be
given every reasonable opportunity to grow
and develop intellectually, physically, and
religiously. To omit any one of these facets
of growth would not be to the best interests
of the student or the state. Thus, the mem
bers of the Board of Regents wish to com-
SILICONE WAXES
Do not use silicon waxes on
surfaces you may wish refin
ished some day. The silicone
penetrates the wood and causes
refinishing problems. If you
have already used a silicon wax
■and want to have the surface
refinished, be sure to tell the
person who is to do the work,
suggests Miss Ava Rodgers, Ex
tension home furnishing and art
specialist.

Religious Freedom Emphasis
mend the administration and faculty of
those institutions in the University System
which provided for the voluntary partici
pation in non-denominational prayers and
which foster a non-sectarian religious at
mosphere in which a student may grow
spiritually. To do otherwise would serve
only to render aid to the disciples of ath
eism and give comfort to the enemies of
our American way of life,
A non-sectarian religious atmosphere
may be created by chapel services. Relig
ious Emphasis weeks, courses in religion,
student religious groups, but especially in
the attitudes and dedication to religious
values of the administration and faculty of
each institution. It is the feeling of the
members of the Board of Regents that the
omission of religious values from the va
rious institutions in a day in which there
has been a tremendous growth of knowledge
in the basic sciences creates a condemnatory
imbalance of values.
The free and voluntary exercise of re
ligious freedom and the acknowledgement
of our Creator as a Supreme Being, omni
potent and all wise, and upon whom our
very existence, our liberty, and our pur
suit of happiness are entirely dependent,
should be prohibited by no one. But on
the contrary, the free and voluntary exercise
□f religious freedom should be encouraged
by all.
Therefore, the members of the Board
of Regents of the University System of
Georgia wish to express through the Chan
cellor to the Presidents of all the institu
tions in the University System their desire
to have religious values included in the
total educational programs of each institu
tion. The religious atmosphere of each col
lege and the attitudes of the administration
and faculty should reveal an explicit be
lief in and dependency on God.”
Numerous college and school leaders
and students throughout the state have ex
pressed their appreciation and endorsement
of the Resolution, by letter, to the Board
of Regents, according to Chairman R. 0.
Arnold.
“The resolution expresses my personal
feelings about the matter,” Mr. Arnold
stated; “And, I am very gratified at the
reaction we are getting from the students
of some of our institutions.”

Traffic Control
Meeting Set for
Tennille, July 26
Representatives of the State
Highway Department will hold
a meeting at Highway Division
2 headquarters in Tennille at
8:00 p. m. on July 26 for the
purpose of acquainting all city
and county officials involved in
traffic control in Highway Field
Division 2 with the provisions
of Georgia’s new Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devi
ces for Streets and Highways.
This manual was developed
to bring Georgia’s traffic con
trol devices into agreement
with new national standards es
tablished bv several national
groups involved in traffic en
gineering in order to promote
safety and ease congestion on
the streets and highways of the
nation. Because the new stand
ards will make obsolete many
existing traffic control signals,
signs, and markings, and be
cause local understanding and
cooperation are essential for
much-needed nationwide uni
formity in this field, Highway
Board Chairman Jim L. Gill s
has urged that all local officials
be present at this meeting, or,
if unable to attend, send an au
thorized representative.
Some of the provisions of the
new manual are:
Standard three-lens traffic
signals with red on top, amber
in the center, and green on the
bottom;
No portable signs permitted
in the middle of the roadway.
School zone signs used only
when schools are adjacent to
the highway or street;
And, no stop signs at loca
tions having traffic lights in
operation.
Organizations cooperating in
•preparatory of the new national
tandards are the American As
ociation of State Highway Of
cials, the Institute of Traffic
Engineers, the National Asso
iation of County Officials, the
lational Committee on Uniform
'raffic Laws and Ordinances,
le National Municipal Associa
lon, and the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads.
Counties included in t h e
area covered by the Tennille
meeting are: Baldwin, Burke,
Clarke. Columbia, Emanuel,
Glascock, Greene, Hancock,
J a s p er, Jefferson, Jenkins,
Johnson, Lincoln, McDuffie,
Morgan, Newton, Oconee, Ogle

“Senior Citizens” Are Segment Os The Total
A Rapidly Increasing American Food Market
In 1960 the Census Bureau
counted 16,559,580 people in
the United States 65 years of
age or over. This meant that,
while the total population was
increasing from 1950 to 1960
by almost 19%, the portion of
the population classified as
“aged” was growing almost
35%.
Further, it is expected that
between 1960 and the year
2000 the aged population will
more than double. During the
past 10 years the actual annual
gain among those over 65 years
of age averaged about 420,000
people. Today 1 our of every 11
Americans is 65 years of age
or over.
Since this aged group—often
referred to as “senior citizens”
or those in the “golden years”
—are very rapidly becoming
another important and specific
segment of the population
which very likely needs some
special attention from dairy
food marketers, this issue of
TIPS is devoted largely to pre
senting information on this
segment of the total market and
its food needs.

intensive training at the 1962
Artillery ROTC Summer Camp
being held at the United States
Army Artillery and Missile

Fire power was the key word
during this week of training, as
he spent his first night in the
field firing field artillery wea

combat positions.
During the first night of the
bivouac they organized and
prepared a perimeter defense
against ground attacks.
This weeks practical training
includes maintenance, section

In 1920 8.1% of the voting
age population was 65 years of
age and over. In 1960 15.4%
of the voting age population
was 65 and over.
Nationally there are 121 aged
women for every 100 aged
men. On farms, however, there
are only 84 aged women for
every 100 aged men!
Nearly one-half of the aged
are widowed, single, or di
vorced. Seven out of every ten
aged men are married, while
only one out of each three aged
women is married.
One-fourth of the aged live
in rural nonfarm areas. Only
8% live on farms.
The aged population is tend

Termites, Tobacco
And Safety Among
Week's TV Topics
Danger around the farm and
home will be spotlighted in two
programs on WGTV, Channel
8, next week. The programs
will be on the Growing South
Series, which is aired at 7:00
p.m. week nights.
On Monday, July 23, Exten
sion Engineer Willia Huston
will emphasize safety on the
farm. Mr. Huston will also be
featured on the home safety
program Friday, July 27.
Another kind of protection —
against termites —will be dis
cussed by Extension Entomol
ogist Rodney Coleman on Tues
day, July 24. He will demon
strate ways to protect build
ings from termite damage.
Archie Langley of the Geor
gia Crop Reporting Service
will explain the work of the
service and how it benefits
both rural and urban people on
Wednesday, July 25.
Tobacco marketing will be
featured on July 26, the open
ing day of the tobacco markets,
by John Preston, Extension
agronomist in charge of tobac
co work.
The Growing South is pre
sented each week day evening
at 7:00 on Channel 8. It is pro
duced by the Georgia Center
for Continuing Education in
cooperation with the College
of Agriculture.
LUMBER IS IMPORTANT
The character of the .struc
ture beneath the floors is re
garded by many experts as the
most important single consider
ation in home building.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, the floor
structure must carry the weight
of the entire dwelling and all
its occupants and contents. It
should have the strength for
this exacting task, and also
qualities that assure walking
comfort.
Lumber is widely used for
floor structures because it com
bines strength with resiliency,
ship ability in simulated com
bat situations. The obstacles
were designed to require the
utmost cooperation and team
work of the five man group in
order for them to be successful.
This course afforded the ca
det the opportunity to test h i s
problem solving ability, alert
ness, and mental and physical
stamina and to evaluate leader
ship ability in many areas.
Self confidence and courage
were the prevailing attributes
as he encountered the tough -
obstacles with the minimum
amount of materials and assis
tance.
On the lighter side of summer
camp activities this week were
school parties, a swim meet and
the ROTC dance.
The ROTC dance staged at
the Fort Sill Officer’s Club was
a big success. This event is al
ways the highlight of summer
camp social activities.
18 states registered increases
greater than the national in
crease of almost 35%. Florida
gained almost 133% in aged
population; Arizona 104%; Ne

California 54%; Texas 45%;
Hawaii 43%; Wyoming 43%;
and New Jersey 42%.
There were 11 states which
had more than 500,000 aged
persons in 1960: New York —
1,687,590; California — 1,376,-

Florida — 553,129; Missouri —
503,411. The total in these 11
states was 9,636,504, or well
over half of the national total
of 16,559,580. The aged, as a
percent of total state popula
tion, ranged from 2.4% in Alas

helpful. Keep in mind that in
1960 there were about 16,5uJ,-
000 people 65 years of age and
over. Here are breakdowns for
other age groups: up to 9 years
—3l million; 10 to’l9 years
(the important teen-age group)
30 million; 20 to 44 years
(young adults) —57.7 million;
45 to 64 years—36 million.
This comparison might sug
gest, on first glance at least,
that the aged population group
is much less important than
some others in attempting to
build the market for milk. This
may very well be true, but
since the aged people are tend
ing to concentrate in certain
geographical areas, they may
be a much more important
market segment than the aver
age figures would show in these
areas. Also, in terms of milk
v lume, this segment of the
population might be much
important not only now but in
the future as it continues to
expand very rapidly. It is en
tirely possible that our com
petition for the attention of
this segment of the total mar
ket might be much less intense
than it is for teens and young
adults.
