GEA Asks For Funds To
Support School Program
An important meeting of Geor
gia Education Association lead
ers was called by the Board of
Directors for December 10 in
Atlanta. Two hundred and eigh
teen local teachers’ association
presidents, representing thirty
thousand member teachers, were
called to order by President
Clyde Kimball, Jr. Local pre
sidents who in August, 1966, at
the GEA Leadership Conference,
developed a proposed legislative
program, were asked to develop
a plan of action to support the
necessary legislation to advance
the educational program adopted
by Georgia State Department of
Education and by the Georgia
State Board of Education.
These presidents of local GEA
units plan to ask for funds to
support the program advanced for
the maintenance and operation of
quality school and quality
teaching standards for each child
in Georgia.
The budget request of the bie
nnium 1967-69, of over one bil
lion dollars, in the opinion of
GEA leadership is a very rea
sonable sum to carry forward
the educational program begun
in the last four years.
It is the intention of the GEA
to support and work for an ap
propriation that will finance the
State Board request. The meet
ing was called to give informat
ion so that members of the GEA,
Legislators, and community
leaders may understand the
structure of the budget and be
aware of the need for the ne
cessary funds to finance Geor
gia public schools.
Each local unit was charged
with the responsibility to carry
out a plan of action to insure
each Georgia school child the
opportunity to develop to the
fullest potential.
Newton County’s representa
tives at this meeting, Robert Peay
and Joseph Croom, would point
out the following four points of
interest concerning the proposed
budget:
(1) Raised salaries for teach
ers and other certified personnel.
This would bring the salaries of
Georgia’s teachers to the level
of the national average. Georgia
must recruit 52% of her teachers
outside the state. To attract
qualified teachers, salaries must
be competitive; and to insure
higher standards of education for
her children, Georgia must have
qualified teachers.
(2) Financing consumable sup
plies. Senate Bill 180 authorized
$3.00 per child to buy consum
able supplies, but it was never
The path of 4-H clovers now
stretches around the world. More
than 75 countries have 4-H Clubs
or similar youth organizations,
according to Dr. T. L. Walton,
state 4-H Club leader at the
University of Georgia.

funded. The proposed budget
would fund this need, thus re
leasing local funds for other
needs.
(3) Increased Maintenance and
Operation and Sick Leave funds to
$230 per state allotted teacher to
the system. This Increase would
release local funds now being
used to finance these programs
to be expended for other needs.
(4) Increased funds for capital
outlay. Georgia at the present
time needs 3000 additional class
rooms to replace substandard
rooms and to provide for in
creased enrollments. Full fund
ing of the budget would help meet
immediate needs to close the gap
between the time a classroom is
needed and the time It Is actually
ready for occupancy.
“There will be need for an in
crease In local required effort to
match the state increase in edu
cational cost based on the per
cent established in the Minimum
Foundation Law. However, the
new state budget would provide
money for many services now
paid out of local funds, thus re
leasing a larger portion of local
money to be applied toward cor
rection of inadequacies and the
improvement of the enrichment
program at the local level.
“The urgency of achieving the
funding of this budget is evident
in many things now true of our
social and political picture. The
future of education In the state
for the next four years will be
greatly Influenced by what Is done
at this time. In the light of sur
pluses it Is believed that Georgia
has the best chance it has ever
had of receiving the financial
support It needs to Insure a
quality education for its child
ren. Newton County Teachers are
actively supporting the plan and
do urgently request that the
people of the county join In this
drive to help Georgia move for
ward educationally as well as in
dustrially and economically,”
they stated.

A flameless electric heat pump lets you step
into the climate of eternal spring
Turn your back on the raw, rasping blasts of
winter and the humid wilt of summer. With
just one setting of the thermostat, a heat
pump captures the perfect moment of climate
you want and holds it year ’round.
You see, a heat pump heats and cools. It
changes automatically as the weather outside
changes. Needs only electricity and air to
operate. And the air delivered by your flame
less electric heat pump is dehumidified and
filtered, crisp and really clean.
Economical, too. The heat pump has won
fame for its efficiency. Electricity and air are
the only two elements this wonder machine
needs to manufacture perfect indoor climate
for you month after month.
Isn’t this the comfort-conditioning system
you want? Well, then. Put your foot down.
