THE LEGISLETTER
ATLANTA—The General As
sembly this week came to grips
with Gov. Lester G. Maddox’s
1968 legislative program, includ
ing a $3,000,000 increase he re
quested in the budget, bringing
it to a record $778,000,000.
The Governor, in his second
“State of the State” message to
the legislature on Tuesday of
last week, requested legislation
providing stiff penalties for riot
ing, increasing the governor’s
control over three state boards
and commissions, fixing a uni
form state tax assessment of
40 per cent of air market value,
making it a felony to operate
games of chance, and providing
for a vote of the people on sc
hool consolidations.
The budget message was pre
sented at noon Friday. This week
the House Appropriations Com
mittee begins an item by item
examination of the budget. The
General Assembly will recess for
a week next week while the 50-
man Appropriations Committee
holds hearings on the appropria
tions bill. Later in the session
another week’s recess will be
taken while the Senate Appro
priations Committee does the sa
me thing.
Senator Herman E. Talmadge
made his annual address to a
joint session of the House and
Senate Monday. Senator Richard
B. Russell also was invited to
speak, but declined the Invitat
ion because of pressing business
in Washington.
Getting promptly to work last
week, the House and Senate pas
sed three major pieces of legis
lation.
On Thursday, after a three
day debate, the House passed a
bill revising the criminal code of
Georgia, which had been favor
ably reported by the House Ju
diciary Committee. It embod
ied the work of a commission wh
ich had been set up five years
ago.
On Thursday the House also
passed by a vote of 141-33 the
controversial radar speed ti
ming bill which has been de
bated In various forms for the
last four years. It would al
low cities and counties to use
radar and other forms of speed
detection devices which are now
restricted to the State Highway
Patrol. Gov. Maddox’s admini
stration floor leader, Rep. Tom
Murphy of Haralson County, sp
oke In behalf of the legislation,
saying:
“If this bill will save the life
of one child In Georgia, then I
am for it.”
After two days of debate, the
Senate passed 40 to 3 an amend
ment to the 1967 Reapportion
ment Act to carry out chan
ges requested in “guide-lines”
handed down recently by a three
judge Federal Court. The act
makes minor changes In four
Senate districts over the state,
and provides for raising the to
tal membership of the Senate
from 54 to 56. To accomplish
this, the voters must approve a
constitutional amendment next
November. The two extra seats
would go to Fulton and DeKalb
counties.
Most of the debate came or
an amendment by Senator H.
McKinley Conway of DeKalb
County which would provide for
Neighborhood Girl Scout
Meeting Held On Jan. 9
Newton County Neighborhood
meeting of Girl Scout leaders
was held January 9 at the Girl
Scout Hut. Mrs. Estelle Hop
kins, chairman, presided over the
meeting, which was opened with
the pledge to the flags.
During the business meeting
Mrs. Hopkins reminded everyone
that February is Registration
Month and that the date of our
Registration would be February
5 at the Scout Hut from 1:15
to 2:30.
The annual District Girl Scout
Council meeting will be Thurs
day, January 30, at Peachtree
Christian Church in Atlanta. Our

Mrs. Hastings, with Mrs. Harris
and Mrs. Croom as alternates.
Cookie Chairman, Mrs. Ruth
Harris with Mrs. Florine Hals
tead as co-chairman, announced
that the cookie sale would start
around March 15. Leaders would
be notified where to pick up cook
ies.

University Os Georgia President
Speaks At Oxford College Jan. 25
Dr. Fred C. Davison, president
of the University of Georgia, will
speak at convocation at Oxford
College of Emory University at
11 a. m. Thursday, Jan. 25, at
Allen Memorial Auditorium.
Dean Bond Fleming of Oxford
has invited the public and friends
of President Davison to hear him.
The trip will be a homecoming
for the University of Georgia
president. He attended Oxford
as a student 1947-48.
Following Dr. Davison’s talk
there will be an informal recep
tion at Phi Gamma Hall. At 1
p. m. he will speak to the Cov

setting up four Senatorial dis
tricts in DeKalb County this year
rather than next year. It now
has three. Under the original
bill DeKalb’s fourth Senator
would have run “at large” this
year. The amendment was ap
proved 29 to 19 despite warn
ings from Senator Julian Webb
of Donalsonville and Senator Bob
Smalley of Griffin that any ch
ange might cause the Federal
court to disapprove the plan.
Spirited debate is expected on
Gov. Maddox’s package of bills
designed to curb rioting. One
bill would define rioting "as a
crime and participation in riot
ing as a felony. A person would
be held to be taking part in a riot
if he disobeyed the order of a
law-enforcement officer to leave
the scene. Another bill would
provide a mandatory jail sentence
for anyone who assaulted a po
liceman or fireman while in the
discharge of his duties.
Stiff opposition by educators
is expected to Gov. Maddox’s
proposal that school consolidat
ion cannot be carried out with
out approval of the people, as
expressed by a referendum, in
the county or counties concern
ed. Under present law consolid
ations may be carried out by
county boards of education.

We in America now spend the
smallest percent of our take
home pay for food that we have
ever spent. This fact, though,
doesn’t keep some of us from
feeling the pinch from the rising
cost of food. The percentage
of take-home pay spent for food
continues to decline because in
comes go up at a faster rate,
when averaged, than do food pri
ces.
The problem is that every
body doesn’t fit the average. If
your income did not go up with
the average increase, your food
prices did! What can you do
to reduce the number of dollars
you spend for food? Perhaps
these suggestions will help:
Decide on the amount of money
you can afford to spend on food.
Learn the relation of cost to
nutritive value of foods.
Make flexible shopping lists.
For example, list a green veg
etable instead of a specific veg
etable and pick the best buy in
the market.
Shop by your list.
Shop food sales. Many stores
carry ‘Hoss leader’’ items to
entice you to shop there. This
does not mean all items are re
duced proportionately.
Compare costs per serving in
deciding between items.
Buy quality products with no
room for waste.
Shop without the children if you
can. It is hard to refuse the plea
of a child for a special kind of
food that has an enclosure he

HOUSECLEANING TIPS
Trying to beat the clock when
doing your housecleaning is like
violating a speed limit when you
drive. Use common sense while
you are doing your housecle^ning
so you get through the job with
out mishaps. Don’t try to hurry.
Take a break when you feel tired.
Homemakers here in Newton
County will find house work much
easier and smoother if they take
a few precautions and observe
certain safety rules.
Dress sensibly for your clean
ing chores. Wear good-fitting
shoes with low heels. If you work
in a dress, it should be simple,
without gaping pockets. The
skirt should be moderately full
but not so full that it catches
on things as you move about.
At the same time your skirt
should not be so tight that it will
restrict your movements. Fl
imsy, fluttering aprons and fl
owing sleeves may prove to be a
fire hazard. Remember too that
plastic aprons are very heat
sensitive and melt rapidly when
they come into contact with a
flame.
Other tips are to test the tem
perature of hot water from fau
cets cautiously before getting
your hands in it. Be careful
where you put broken glass. Don’t
puncture an aerosol can or throw
it in a rubbish fire. Heat may
cause the can to burst.
When you dispose of the dirt
picked up by your vacuum clean
er, remember that dust clouds
can flare up when sparks are
present. Wrap up the dirt and
put it in your garbage can.
When you carry clothing or
household effects, do you take
wants.
Now let’s go back to the sug
gestion to learn the relation of
cost to nutritive value. Take
milk for an example. We spend
about 17 cents of every food
dollar for milk and milk pro
ducts. One of the reasons milk
is important is its calcium con
tent for building teeth and bones.
The calcium of one cup of whole
fluid milk, which costs about
7 cents, can be bought in Amer
ican cheese for 5 cents, in ice
cream for 16 cents, in cottage
cheese for 21 cents and in cream
cheese, 95 cents.
Then we can compare the cost
of milk by different forms. Whole
fluid milk by the cup comes at
about 7 cents, buttermilk and
skim fluid milk at around 6 cents,
canned milk, 5 cents and non
fat dry milk at about 2 cents.
To cut the cost of an ade
quate milk supply we have two
alternatives: To use American
cheese more freely as a source
of calcium and to substitute lower
cost forms of milk for some of
the whole fluid milk we are us
ing.—By Lora Laine, Home Ec

such a big load that you can’t
see where you are walking? It
is not worth the gamble of having
a bad fall, so make an extra

at the top or bottom of stairs

may not see them until after an

We run our lives on a cash

Many families here in Newton

really difficult things we have to
cope with today. We use money
and spend it as our parents and
grandparents never dreamed of
doing because we produce much
less of what we need at home.
We depend upon money for food,
clothing, shelter, recreation and
for educating our children. We
depend on money to take care of
us when we are old in the same
way people once depended on a
family business or a family farm.
For many of us money troub
les are a cause of constant worry.
One bad way out is to be ut
terly irresponsible about mon
ey. Unfortunately, this will work
for only a short while. Another
bad way is to think of money all
the time.
Although it is hard, the goal
to aim for is to be sensible and
matter of fact about money. With
in a family or within any group
of people living together and mu
tually depend on each other, mo
ney can set up a whole host of
problems. Fortunate are the
husband and wife who have lear
ned to agree on what the family
money is supposed to do and
where it ought to go.
Remember, a workable money
plan can mean more happiness,
less preoccupation with money
and a better and saner attitude
toward life.
