Mayor Proclaims Jaycee Week Here
1 : JWO E '
WILLIAM WOMACK (left), Newton County Jaycee president, receives a copy of the official proclamat
ion naming the week of January 21-28 as “Jaycee Week” in Covington. Presenting the document is
Covington Mayor Walker Harris. Looking on are R. T. Smith, Jr., External Vice-President, and Cliff
Rogers, Internal Vice-President (right).
9.9% In Newton In
Government Employ
The number of Newton County residents on government pay
rolls is relatively small. Compared with other communities
across the country, the proportion of local people in govern
ment jobs--Federal, state and local—is below average.
This is seen in revised fig
ures, up-dated on the basis of
new, national data compiled by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the Tax Foundation and others.
In the local area, it appears,
about 1 out of every 10 employed
persons works for some branch
of government.
Taken into consideration are
all those employed in a civilian
capacity by the Federal govern
ment, by the states and by coun
ties, municipalities and other
units of government. Those in
the armed forces are not inclu
ded.
The surveys show that, in al
most every part of the country,
there has been a sharp increase
in recent years in the number
of people in public jobs.
Since 1960 , their total has
grown from 8.3 million to over

THE COVINGTON NEWS
11.5 million, a rise of 38 per
cent. During the same period,
the national population rose only
10 percent.
In Newton County, the number
of people who are holding down
government jobs at this time
is estimated at 900.
Back in 1960, byway of com
parison, there were 646 on gov
ernment payrolls, according to
the Census Bureau.
What it amounts to. in terms
of the total working population, is
that approximately 9.9 percent
are publicly employed.
Elsewhere in the United States,
an average of 15.7 per cent
are so-employed and, in the State
of Georgia, 15.4 percent.
The Labor Department notes
that, contrary to general belief,
the great increase in the number
of government workers in recent
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
years has been chiefly in state
and local jobs, which have mul
tiplied at five times the rate of
Federal jobs.
Much of the increase is att
ributed to the growing number
of young people and the resultant
expansion of school systems to
provide for them.
Payrolls for teachers and oth -
er school employees have become
the major personnel item in most
local budgets.
USE
DIRECTIONAL LIGHTS
PROPERLY
Directional lights on the car are
great for warning drivers in cars
behind and sometimes cars
ahead of what you are planning
to do. When you want to turn
right, put on the right direc
tional light and to go left the
left light. Do not bewilder driv
ers around you by putting on
the wrong light. And remember
to turn off your directional
lights when you have com
pleted the turn. Otherwise you
will just confuse drivers of cars
near you.

Jaycee
Week
Mayor Walker Harris today
proclaimed January 21-27 as Ja
ycee Week in Covington and asked
local organizations to cooperate
in the observance.
He said the purpose of the
week is to focus attention on
young men and the work they
are doing, and emphasize that
the Newton County Jaycees have
done an outstanding job.
The week celebrates the found
ing of the Jaycees in 1915, when
Henry Giessenbier saw the need
for a young man’s civic group,
and organized the first chapter,
according to local Jaycee Pre
sident William Womack. The
movement spread so fast that in
1920, the U. S. Junior Chamber
of Commerce was formed with 24
cities represented. The name of
the national organization was ch-
