What’s Your Opinion?
When the Georgia General As
sembly reconvenes nextweekone
of the first pieces of legislation
expected to receive considerat
ion is the question of Daylight
Savings Time again for Georgia.
Rep. Don Ballard said this
week that whether Georgia adopts
the time of its sister states is a
complicated one.
"Most people don’t understand
it. They don’t realize that the
state must adopt or reject what
we might call national time. Ei
ther we are totally in or totally
out of the time set by Congress.

The state legislature simply de
cides if the state keeps the same
time as all the other states.
"Most sentiment is for Geor
gia to stay with Daylight Savings
Time, like the rest of the coun
try, but to request Congress to
cut off a month in the spring
and another in the fall in order
to shorten the period affected.
Mr. Ballard said that he ex
pects to see the General As
sembly send such a resolution
to Congress when legislators re
convene.
For those who don’t like Day
light Savings Time, the answer
is to change your hours, Mr.
Ballard feels.
At least one Newton Countian,
Mrs. Charles Ewing of Starrs
ville, says that you don’t easily
change the hours of a dairy
herd if you expect it to continue
to produce milk.
"I am bitterly opposed to Day
light Savings Time,’’ Mrs. Ewing
told The Covington News last
week.
"My husband has been getting
up at 4:30 a. m. to milk the
cows. Under Daylight Savings
Time he had to milk at 5:30 and
this made us an hour later doing
everything all day. We were one
hour later milking in the after
noon, too.
"We couldn’t entertain or go
to ball games or plan anything.
That time just ruined our whole
summer.
"It didn’t suit us and we found
only two people who did say they
liked it’’

In 1967, total employment av

During the first half of 1967,
total employment showed little
sustained growth but picked up
strongly after June.
