1964 millage will an even
50 mills.
The item in which the
biggest increase is notes is
in the expense of courts, the
maintenance of prisoners,
and to pay expenses of the
Sheriff’s Department and
Coroner, and for litigation
This increase was six-tenth?
of a mill. Mr. Bates said that
the operation of the Sheriffs
Department under the salary
system has cost the county
“approximately SI,OOO a
month more than it was un
der the fee system. In the
past fiscal year this depart
ment alone has cost the
county an extra $12,000," he
stated. "We have the figures
here in the office if anyone
cares to check them," he
added.
A half a mill increase is
noted in the report to pay
Newton County’s part oi
adding a social worker in the
welfare department and for
our county’s part (along
with Jasper County) off hir
ing a child guidance special
ist.
A reduction of one-tenth
of a mill was realized in the
expense of the Public Lib
rary. Mr. Bates said a sur
plus of funds here enabled
this reduction for the year.
The cost of education in
Newton County is the top
item in the report. Twenty
mills is the figure for the
the county’s schools.

“HAPPINESS RECIPE”

Two handfuls GEN ERO -

Dash of LAUGHTER,
One headful UNDERST-

Springle generously with

Add plenty of FAITH and
mix well.
Spread over a period of a
lifetime
And
Serve everybody you meet.

Fowler To Join
Ga. Bankers
On Calif. Tour
ATLANTA—R. R. Fowler
President of the Bank of
Covington, will join some
70 Georgia bankers and ag
riculture leaders on a tour
of California in August to
study ways of improving the
processing and marketing of
agricultural products in
Georgia.
The tour, sponsored by
the Citizens & Southern Na
tional Bank, will be planned
and directed by W. A. Sut
ton, vice president-in
charge of the C&S Agri-Busi
ness Department and form
er director of the Universi
ty of Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service, and L.
W. Eberhardt, present di
rector of the Agricultural
Extension Service.
Known as the “C&S
Marketer,” the August 23-
28 tour will range from San
Francisco to Los Angeles,
highlighted by the trip
through the heart of Cali
fornia’s San Joaquin Valley
(54 per cent or 4 million of
the state’s irrigated acres
are in this fertile valley.)
The state of California ranks
first in the nation with the
largest gross agricultural in
come and agribusiness is
further advanced than in
any other state.
At each stop of the tour,
the group will be able to
study crop production, pro
cessing and marketing tech
niques. Bankers, businesmen
and professional agricultural
workers of the area will
speak to the group at each
location.
The initial dinner meet
ing in San Francisco will in
clude brief talks by Mills B.
Lane, Jr., C&S president;
Jesse Tapp, chairman of the
Bank of America, and Dr.
Georgia Alcorn, director of
(Best Coverage: News, Pictures, and Features)
the California Extension Ser
vice. The discussion of the
interrelationship of agricul
ture and banking in Cali
fornia will set the pattern
for the entire tour.
On its return, the Geor
gia group will conduct semi
nars across the state to fur
ther spread knowledge of
the techniques learned and
to promote agri-business de
velopment in Georgia.
G. Aubrey Smith exten
sion editor of visual educa
tion at the University of
Georgia, will make color
movies of the trip which will
be shown in conjunction
with the seminars.
Mr. Sutton, a 1960 reci
pient of the Superior Ser
vice Award from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture,
believes that the study of
the methods used by agri
culturally successful Cali
fornia will “help us avoid the
unnecessary loss of revenue
to our state now being exper
ienced due to the fact that
a large portion of Georgia
products are shipped out-of
state to be processed and
then shipped back here to

need to be aware of the ad

as well as the fanners, so
that financial assistance will
be available for the modern

area."
Dean C. C. Murray of the
College of Agriculture, Uni
versity of Georgia, and
Frank Stancil, assistant to
the State Commissioner of
Agriculture, will work with
Mr. Sutton and Mr. Eber
hardt in the supervision of
the trip.

able response to this initial
