Under a new regulation adopted
by the department, all 5-year li
censes showing an expiration date
of March 31, 1963, may now be
renewed by the holder at any
time he sees fit, the safety direc
tor said.
Heretofore, it was stipulated un-
der Georgia's new law requiring
motorists to renew their licenses
on their birthdays, which went in
to effect Jan. 1, 1963. that licenses
could be renewed only within a
time 90 days prior to the birth
day.
But that has been changed by
the public safety director who
has broad powers under the law
to regulate such matters. Under
his new ruling, holders of 5-year
licenses issued in 1958 and ex
piring this year can now renew
their licenses at will. In other
words, the 90-day-prior-to- birth
day stipulation no longer applies
to them.
“Reason for changing this pro
cedure as it applies to 5-year li
cense holders,” Col. Conner ex
plained, “is to avoid any confu
sion which might cause these
Georgians embarassment or in
convenience should they be stop
ped by law enforcement officers
who may not be familiar with our
new birthdate license renewal law,
particularly outside of Georgia.
“These 5-year licenses were
issued prior to passage of the new
law. hence the expiration date
printed on them shows March 31,
1963. Nonetheless, these licenses
are valid until midnight of t h e
holder's birthdate.
“We know that and the licensee
knows that, but an uninformed of
ficer who might stop the driver
for one reason or another wouldn’t
know that. He would have only
the driver’s word for it. This
could cause much unnecessary
trouble all along the line. That’s
why we have changed this regu
lation as it applies to holders of
5-year driver’s licenses.”
There were 64.776 5-year licen
ses issued in 1958 with the ex
piration date March 31, 1963, ac
cording to Capt. F. M. Davies, su
pervisor of the Safety Depart
ment's Driver License Division.
He estimates that about half of
those already have been renewed.
Fees are the same as in the
past — 5-year regular operator's
licence is $5; 5-year chauffeur’s
license, $lO. Renewals may be
THE COVINGTON NEWS
made in person or by mail. But
Capt. Davies emphasizes that
fees cannot be paid by personal
check or with stamps. Only mon
ey orders, certified checks or cash
are acceptable as payment.
A word of caution: The Depart
ment of Public Safety is not re
sponsible for cash forwarded by
mail. So the best advice is not to
send cash when renewing driver
licenses by mail, according to
Capt. Davies.

Georgia Veterans
Should Report
Change of Address
ATLANTA — Georgians receiv
ing veterans’ benefits from the
Veterans Administration should
immediately notify the United
States Post Office and the Veter
ans Administration Regional Of
fice on any change of address,
Georgia Veterans Service Director
Pete Wheeler said this week.
Under present Post Office reg
ulations benefit checks may be
forwarded to veterans and their
families for a period of six
months if the Post Office has been
informed of the new address.
Each year, however, thousands
of benefit checks are unnecessar
ily returned to the Veterans Ad
ministration and the recipients in
convenienced by failure to report
changes of address.
Any veteran or member of a
veterans' family desiring assis
tance in properly completing a re
port of change of address should
contact the nearest office of the
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service, which is located at the
Courthouse. The office manager is
Mrs. Dot Cason.
Weed Society
To Organize
On April sth
An organization that has
been operating on a temporary
basis with temporary officers
for two months will formally
organize on April 5, and agri
cultural leaders believe the
new group will go a long way
toward getting weeds out of
Georgia crops.
The Georgia Weed Control
Society will elect officers and
adopt its constitution and by
laws at a meeting at Macon’s
Dempsey hotel.
According to T. L. Evra rd of
Hampton, who has been serv
ing as temporary chairman,
the Society will have as its
main goal the control of weeds
that are costing Georgia farm
ers an estimated SB7 million
annually.
Keynote speaker for the
April sth organizational meet
ing will be W. A. Sutton, Co
operative Extension Service di
rector at the University of
Georgia.
Mr. Evra rd said the program
will include a discussion of the
state’s weed control problems
by a panel made up of a farm
er, a banker, a district Exten
sion agent, and a repres'-nta
tive of a herbicide manufac
turer.
Extension Service recom
mendations for the control of
weeds in the state, and an ex
planation of the new “Clean
Acres Weed Control Progr am,”
also will be presented.
Talmadge Calls
For Program Io
Assist Textiles
ATLANTA (GPS) —- Georgia’s
U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
has called on the federal govern
ment to adopt a program for ef
fectively dealing with the textile
import problem.
Citing the “need for a whole and
not a piece-meal solution” to the
problem. Sen. Talmadge told a
gathering of New York business
men the other night that steps
must be taken to put American
cotton on an equal competitive
basis with foreign cotton, with
synthetic fibers and with other
materials. Otherwise, he warned,
there will be a “further deterior
ation in the economic status of our
cotton farmers and textile work
ers.”
The Georgia junior senator was
honor guest and principal speaker
at the New York Southern Socie
ty’s 77th annual dinner. The theme
of the dinher was the South's tex
tile industry, which in the last
nine months of 1962 produced 89
per cent of the nation’s output of
cloth woven from cotton, wool,
and synthetic fibers.
Referring to the International
Cotton Textile Trade Arrangement.
Sen. Talmadge said the federal
government already has set up
machinery to deal with cotton tex
tile imports. However, he added,
the need for some arrangement
for woolen and worsted and man
made fiber fabric imports still
face the United States.
He also asserted that the Cot
ton Textile Trade Arrangement,
though a step in the right direc
tion, “cannot reach its full po
tential so long as we have a two
price cotton system.”
The primary reason for the tex
tile import problem, Talmadge
said, “is the difference in manu
facturing costs here and abroad.
Foreign manufacturers have a de-

cided edge over our manufactur- .
ers with regard to wages and
other costs of doing business.”
The Senator particularly criti
cized the advantage foreign manu
facturers have in their material
costs. Said he:
"Today the off-shore textile mill 1
can buy cotton — whether it is
grown overseas or in the U. S. — j
at $42.50 a bale less than U. S.
i mills must pay.”
The result. Talmadge pointed
out, is that foreign mills are able
to send their products into
U. S. markets and displace pro
ducts made here from American
cotton. Then he declared:
“And inevitably, a loss of a
market for domestically made
cotton textile products is trans
lated into a loss of a market for
American - grown cotton. This is
not good for either the cotton far
mer or the textile worker. This is
not good for my good people in
Georgia or my friends elsewhere
in the South. This is not good for
our nation."
