An Open Letter to College
Graduates from Comm. Huiett
It is a pleasure for me to ex
tend sincere congratulations to
the 1963 graduates of Georgia's
colleges and universities. Our
state's new and expanding in
dustries as well as our schools,
other institutions and govern
mental agencies will be able to
put your talents and specialized
knowledge to good uses.
Education is a relative thing
and the level of schooling that
was once considered adequate
no longer meets the needs of
today's labor market. The labor
force is expanding at a rate
never before equaled which in
turn makes the competition for
available jobs keener with each
graduating class. Many of you
are considering returning to
school after receiving your
bachelor's degree for higher or
more specialized training I
urge you to do so if at all pos
sible. The more education the
greater your earning power and
the more you can contribute to
society. There is also less like
lihood of your job being taken
over by a machine at some fu
ture date. The lower scale of
the labor market is already
saturated and there is every
indication that this saturation
point will move up as we ad
vance into the space age. There
will always be sufficient young
men and women who cannot
possibly go to schools of high
er learning to fill the job open-
Old Wading Pool
Makes New Beauty
Spot in Porterdale
PORTERDALE—There is a
new Beauty spot in Porterdale!
For more than thirty years,
the wading pool on the play
ground of the John Porter
Building served the marvel
ous purpose of providing fun
and refreshment for the boys
and girls of the community.
Built by the Porterdale Wo
man's Club, it was dedicated
to the memory of Mr. S. J.
Yancey who for thirty - five
years was the friend of chil
dren of Po.-terdale. With the
construction of the new, mod
ern, up - to - date swimming
pool nearby, the usefulness of
the wading pool was nil.
For a couple ot years, the
Woman's Club members have
looked at it and pondered how
to best use or dispose of it. At
last, someone had the bright
idea of converting it into a
“flower bed", for flowers were
high on the list of “loves” in
Mr. Yancey's life.
Last week, through the co
operation of the Civic Impro
vement Committee of the Por
terdale Woman's Club and the
Town of Porterdale, the wad
ing pool became the new beau
ty spot, alive and beautiful with
double petunias in multicolor
ed hues.
Now, the memory of this gen
tleman can remain alive and
cherished because he. too, loved
flowers. And what greater
loves can a person have than
children and beauty?

It is expected that well over
one-half million young men
and women will be receiving
college degrees in the United
States during the next few
months. Georgia graduates now
have opportunities at home
never dreamed of a few short
years ago. You can now use
your education and skill and
stay in Georgia. We hope you
will do so.
j The importance of your first
job cannot be over emphasized.
It becomes a part of your ex
perience records and will ap
pear on all job resumes pre
pared in the tuture. You would
ioe well advisea not to make
salary consideration the sole
standard for choosing a job. It
is important that you have an
interest in your work and that
it is the kind of work you can
do well.
Many of you have jobs wait
ing for you already but if you
have not yet decided upon a
career or have not yet located
a job, let me suggest that you
I seek the help of placement spe
' cialists on your campus or at
, your local state employment
‘ office.
Again, congratulations. Geor
gia has a bright economic fu
ture and you, through study,
determination and hard work
are now in a position to par
ticipate more fully apd to pro
vide the leadership in the ex
citing days ahead.

Welfare Checks
To Be Increased
Governor Carl E. Sande <
and Mrs. Bruce Schaefer, Stale
Director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Family and Children
Sei vices, announce that all St
ate Public Assistance recipient l ,
except those currently receiv
ing the State maximum pay
ment, will receive increased
assistance money payments to
become effective with tin
month of June 1963.
This action provides for an
increase of $2 for recipients t
Old Ago Assistance, Aid to t ’
Blind, and Aid to Disabled: ai I
an increase of SI.OO to $5 01’,
depending on the size of the
family, for cases of Aid to D -
pendent Children. For the
month of June, these increased
benefits will be received bz
approximately 106.000 of th*
137,000 public assistance cases
on the rolls, nf which approxi
mately 80.000 are recipients ot
Old Age Assistance.
On an annual basis, this in
crease in assistance paymenu
will amount to $2,694,720.bi).
However, no additional Sta *
funds will be needed becau '
of liberalization by the Con;-
re-s, effective October 1, 19 2,
of the matching formulas 1 >r
the Federally aided public a
- programs. At that tir a
the State Department liberal -
zed its vendor medical ca ?
programs and increased assi '-
ance budgetary allowances 1
all recipients but these actions
did not fully utilize, as antic -
pa ted. the additional fun Is
provided by the Congress.
The increases in the Jun*

made in order to attain full ul -
lization of these addition 1
funds and to pass such fun «
on to the benefit of recipicn i
of the assistance programs al
intended by the Federal legi -
lation.
