of Georgia, “I approve the
president’s action; but think it
should have been taken 18
months ago”.
Rev. Grady Lively, president
Newton County Ministerial As
sociation — “It is certainly an
explosive situation. Russia's
action has posed a definite
threat to the security of our
nation. These are times that
present a great need of prayer
for guidance and wisdom.”
Dr. Hamby Barton, assistant
dean, Emory at Oxford: “I have
spent some time in Cuba in
evangelistic work; and deeply
regret the esirangement of the
Cuban people which has result
ed from the Castro regime.
However, I am thoroughly in
accord with President Kenne
dy’s action, and look forward
to the time when beiter rela
tionship may be restored be
tween the U. S. and Cuba.”
Mansfield Mayor E. A. Hays
“It is a bad situation, one
which could very well lead to
war, But, it is time for our na
tion to take a stand, and I be
lieve the majority of us are in
sccord with President Kenne
dy’s action. Qur town was pre
paring to entertain a delega
tion of 26 Russian Farmers on
Tuesday; but were advised by
the State Department a week
ago that the Russian Embassy
had cancelled their trip, with
out explanation.
Porterdale Mayor Billy
Crowell — “President Kennedy
took only feasible action left
open to him under the circum
stances, We have taken all
from Khruschev we could
possibly take. I realize the sit
uation could be bad; but we
are a powerful nation, and if*
it co:nes to a show of strength,l
we have no alternative but to
defend our great country.”
Newton County Representa
tive Don Ballard—*l think it
is something we had to do, the
only trouble is, we are a litle
late doing it. It might not have
been nearly so serious, had we
taken action earlier. I fully
back up our president and our
nation in the action he has
taken, and to whatever degree
is deemed necessary.”
Newton County Representa
tive Jack Morgan—*“There are
many angles of which we per
haps are not fully informed;
but certainly I approve of our
president’s action. We hesitate
at the thought of plunging our
country into war; yet, some
where the line must be drawn”,
C. D. Ramsey, Ramsey Furn- |
fture Store — “The situation |
looks mighty bad. However, Il'
am with the president on it.|
In fact there seemed to be no |
ether action left open to him”.|

ltogether my catagory, but my
confidence in President Ken
nedy and those delegated with
such policies, is such that I
would certainly back them up
| in whatever action they deem
| ed necessary’.
| Edgar Wood, Wood and Co.
—“My thinking is that we had
3lheld off as long as we could
‘| have, and it certainly meets
lwith my approval. I was
| stationed at Guantanamo
'| during World War 11, briefly,
‘{and can understand how im
| portant this base is to the U.S.
‘| We shudder to think what
could happen; but, it is time to
| call their hand. Since that has
| been done, there is no alterna
| tive but to see it through”.
| W. B. Thompson, Dodge Wire
|1 Co.—"l am delighted to see
|our country stiffen its attitude,
for I think this is necessary as
a matter of self-defense”.
R. R. Fowler, Fowler Ferti~
lizer Co.,—*“Well, it looks aw=
ful bad. Nuclear war is some
thing to great for the world to
face. Let wus hope that the
| powers that be will consider
the people of the world; and
find a solution short of war.”
B. B. Snow, Vice president
Bibb Mfg. Co.—“l think what
has been done should have
been done a long time ago,
when Castro was lining men
up against the wall and shoot
ing them. I strongly support
the stand President Kennedy
has taken”.
Oxford Mayor Wiley All
good—*“President Kennedy did
the right thing; it just should
have been done a long while
ago”,
Newborn Mayor Guy Jones
—"I think it is a very serious
situation. Both sides may have
to make some concessions in
order to avoid a world conflict,
But, in any event, all of us
will stand firmly behind our
president in his action.”
Paul Fedder, Economy Au
to Store—*l think it is the on
ly thing the president could
have done; and perhaps it
should have been done sooner.
It is about time we took a firm
stand in our dealings with
Russia.”
Irving Dietz, Dietz Women’s
Apparel-—“ The president’s ac
tion is perhaps a little late; but,
I think he is doing the right
thing”.
sl McDowell, Henson Fur
niture Company—*“l don’t like
to think of the possible reper
cussions of the president’s ac
tion; but, it is no doubt the
lesser of two evils. I believe
President Kennedy took the
only possible action.”
E. G. Lassiter, Jr.,, Whites
Enterprises—“ Well. I feel that
it is a most serious decision,
but one which all Americans
will ‘back up. It is most diffi
cult to deal with Russia’s lack
of integrity, and our nation’s
standards make it hard to
know how to cope with Russia’s
double-dealing tactics. The on
ly way to keep burglars from
our homes is to be preparedi
with a good watch dog; and
the same is true of national
security. I endorse the presi
dent’s action 100 percent”,

Job Insurance
Claims Down
From Year Ago
For the week ending October
‘ll, the Employment Security
Agency, Georgia Department of
Labor paid out a total of $295,-
345 in job insurance benefits
to 9,781 claimants, according to
’Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
‘ Huiet.
~ For the same period one year
ago the total amount paid out
was $605,921 to 19,697 individ
uals.
Commissioner Huiet attri
butes this decrease in job in
surance claims in great mea
sure to the improved business
conditions throughout the state.
He pointed out that the insured
work force has grown by ap
proximately 50,000 during the
year and this growth has ab
sorbed a great many workers
who were unemployed in Oec
tober 1961.
The number attempting to
draw job insurance through
fradulent claims has decreased
also. The cooperation of the
courts, law enforcement offi
cials, the press and others has
been of great assistance in this
respect according to the Com
missioner of Labor.

Pulpwood Brought Georgia
Growers $98,982.000 in 19
Purchases of pulpwood
grown in Georgia and deliver
ed to pulp and paper mills dur
ing 1961 totaled $98,982,000,
and marked the 14th straight
year that the state led the
South in production of wood
raw material for the pulp and
paper industry.
H. J. Malsberger of Atlanta,
general manager of the South
ern Pulpwood Conservation
Association, reported that the
state’s total for last year was
four per cent higher than the
value of $94,702,000 recorded
for 1960 deliveries.
These figures were based on
the results of a 12-state pulp
wood production survey con
ducted by the U. S. Forest
Service Experiment Stations at
Asheville, N. C., and New Or
leans, La., in cooperation with
SPCA.
Pulpwood was produced in
all of Georgia’s 159 counties.
The three leading counties, and
the value of the pulpwood
shipped from each to mills,
were Camden, $2,924,680;
Clinch, $2,592,420, and Ware,l
$2,584,820. |
Georgia's record share in
the 1961 production of pulp
wood was part of another all
time high for the South as a
whole. The region’s total for
last year was $484,614,000, a
gain of three per cent over the
previous high of $471,020,000
reported for 1960.
The South’s pulpwood har
vest in 1961, Mr. Malabergex'l
stressed, was not only sixty per |
cent of the total for the na- |
tion, but was also greater than’

of comparable size in the
world.
He emphasized further that
figures projected from KFederal
Government surveys show that
for the South as a whole there
is a continuing favorable ratio
of forest growth over all re
moval. This includes removal
of trees harvested for man'’s
use, as well as losses resulting
from fire, insects and disease.
“The demand for paper and
other producits from wood ex
pands every year,” the SPCA
executive noted, “and forest
owners thus have a continuing
strong incentive to manage
their woodlards properly in
order to produce more and
better trees.”
