year and exceeded 1,117,000 at
the year's end.
The average weekly wages
of factory production workers
were $72.62 in November, as
| compared with $70.82 during
November of last year.
During 1962 the State Em
ployment Service was used by
employers in hiring workers
for 152,041 non-farm jobs. In
addition, 119,984 farm jobs
were filled. “This is the first
time since 1948 that non-farm
placements have exceeded the
farm placements,” Mr. Huiet
said.
Job insurance payments un
der the State program totaled
approximately $24.8 million.
This is a decrease of $14.5 mil
lion from 1961. The total paid
out under all federal programs,
and the state program totaled
S3O million which is a consid
erable reduction from the $52
million in 1961. The federal
programs referred to are for
unemployed federal employees,
ex-servicemen and the federal
temporary extension of the
benefit period which expired
earlier in the year.
In summarizing the report
Commissioner Huiet said:
“1962 has been a year of
growth, relatively high em
ployment, and a rate of unem
ployment below the national
average. However, there has
been a growing concern with
the enlarging pool of long
term unemployed which exists
even during periods of strong
economic activity and growth.
The difficulty lies partly in the
fact that some categories of
workers are not prepared or
qualified for the types of jobs
that exist today. Also, there
are local areas which have not
shared the general economic
growth and expansion in the
state and there are limited job
opportunities in these areas.
We are devoting our efforts to
cooperating in several new
programs directed toward al
leviating these conditions.
“At the end of the year 66
Georgia counties had been de
clared eligible for assistance
under the provisions of the
Area Redevelopment Act of
1961 and nine others were
pending.
“At the end of the year two
classes in Georgia were ready
to open as a part of the Man
power Development and Train
ing Act which was passed in
March 1962. A number of oth
ers are in the planning stages.
All areas eligible for assiistance
under ARA are also eligible
for the Accelerated Public
Works program, an act passed
in September.”
The Department of Labor’s
State Employment Service of
fice serving this county is lo
cated at 122 East Poplar Street,
Griffin, Georgia. It also serves
Spalding, Butts. Henry, Lamar,
Pike and Upson Counties.
This office, managed by Mac
Mclntyre, assisted employers
of the area in filling 2,554 non
farm jobs in 1962. During the
same t ime, farmers hired
through the local office work
ers to fill 2,265 farm jobs.
In 1962 $10,523.00 in job in
surance were paid to unem
ployed workers in Newton
County. At present there are
184 unemployed workers get
ting job insurance on claims
filed in Newton County.

Your Questions About
Family Food Buying
By Dr. Mary Gibbs,
Consumer Marketing Specialist
Q. Do you know away to
shorten the soaking time for
beans?
T. To shorten the soaking
time for beans, the following
procedure is recommended.
First, boil the beans for two
minutes in about three times
as much water as beans. Then,
remove from heat and let the
beans soak for one hour. After
the beans have stood for an
hour, return to range, season
with one teaspoon salt for each
oup of dry beans and cook un
til tender. With this method,
add such seasonings as toma
toes, catsup and vinegar when
the beans are almost cooked.
The acids in these foods de
lay softening of the beans.
Q. Is it true that the nu
trition value of beans is great
er if the beans are served with
milk, eggs, cheese or meat?
A. Yes. The protein from an
animal source — milk, eggs,
cheese or meat — makes the
protein from beans more use
ful to the body.
Q. How many servings will
one pound of dry beans yield
when cooked?
A. While this varies some
what for different varieties of
beans, a pound of beans will
measure more than two cups
as purchased. After cooking, a
pound of beans usually gives
about nine servings.

APARTMENTS
According to the Southern
Pine Association, a roof struc
ture of glued laminated lum
ber beams and wood decking
is practical for apartment
buildings of the one and two
story variety.
The strength of this roof
system permits fewer parti
tions, larger rooms, and ample
window areas. When the latter
look onto a centrally located
courtyard, each apartment has
an attractive outdoor exten
tension. The solid handsome
look of the wood beams and
decking, exposed as a ceiling,
blends well with the indoor
outdoor setting.
