DEPENDABLE SERVICE SINCE 1901

in the nation in lumber and wood
products exported.
Value of agricultural ship
ments from Georgia to destina
tions abroad was estimated at
$lO9 million in fiscal year 1965-
66. Manufactured goods expor
ted in 1966 came to an estimated
$367 million, to place Georgia
in 17th place in the nation in
value of manufactured exports.
These were some of the high
lights of a study announced by
Daniel M. Paul, Director of the
Atlanta Field Office of the U. S.
Department of Commerce. Mr.
Paul stated that every three years
since 1960 the Commerce De
partment’s Bureau of the Census
has surveyed the origin of ex
ports on a state-by-state basis.
Manufactured Exports
All major types of manufact
urers are represented by Geor
gia’s 1966 exports of manufac
tured products. Most of the $133
million increase since 1963, how
ever, was achieved by the follow
ing industry groups:
Transportation equipment sa
les of $104.3 million to foreign
markets expanded the state’s pr
incipal export Industry from ar
ound 20% to 30% of Georgia’s
manufactured exports. Ship
ments of aircraft and parts pre
dominated, but those of motor
vehicles were also substantial.
Paper and allied products, Ge
orgia’s second largest export
industry, contributed 11% of na
tional exports of these commodi
ties in 1966. This industry,
with foreign deliveries valued at
$67.1 million, registered an in
crease of 47% during the period
1960-66. Paperboard and pulp
mill products ranked high in ship
ments; paperboard containers
and boxes were other important
products exported.
Textile mill products expan
ded foreign sales by one-third
in 1963-66, following a slight
drop in the preceding three-year
period. Exports of apparel and
related products also advanced
rapidly by one-fourth.
Agricultural Exports
Georgia’s farmers haveanim
portant stake in exports of var
ious agricultural commodities.
Sales to other countries in 1966
represented 10% of the state’s
cash receipts from farming.
Georgia’s estimated share of
U. S. agricultural exports was
valued at $108.6 million in fiscal
year 1965-66, an increase of 25%
in six years. The state was the
nation’s leading exporter of poul
try and poultry products; foreign
deliveries of $10.6 million were
about 15% of the national export
total. Georgia was the third
largest supplier of tobacco with
trade at a level of $33.7 mil
lion.
Take ’Em
With You
So you’re sitting around, wish
ing you could think of someone to
ask to go fishing with you? You
say you’d go if there was just
someone to ask along?
Well, brother, look no far
ther than your own home. That’s
right. Why not? Ask the wife
and kids to go along.
I’m crazy, you say? We 11...
yes, like a fox.
How long did it take you last
time to talk your wife into let
ting you out to go fishing? And
what did she say, when you came
home empty-handed, about what
a waste of time fishing is?
Take her along. If she has a
good time, she’ll be a lot more
understanding next time the urge
hits you.
And you know what? You may
be in for a pl asant surprise.
You just might find yourself a
good fishing partner. Or two.
Or three. Depends on how big
your family is.
I admit I don’t get in as much
fishing when I take along the fa
mily. I spend more time help
ing the kids. But someday, It’ll
pay off in big dividends. When
the kids are a little older, they’ll
be able to take care of themsel
ves out fishing, and then ol’ Dad
can fish to his heart’s content.
The fish caught that I’m most
proud of this year was only a six
inch bass. I didn’t catch it. My
four year old son did. Sure, he’s
caught fish before, and a bass or
two at that. But this was the
first time he’d caught a bass all
by himself without help. And he
got him on a plug.
Someday when that boy is a bit
older, he’ll be right there when
ol’ Dad gets out the fishing rod,
and maybe he’ll wipe my eyes.
And if he does, I’ll be even more
proud.
He’ll be a good fisherman, I
hope. I’d lots rather be hung
around .ishing holes, than be
roaming around on the loose,
looking for mischief, just to
have something to do.
For example, like that juvenile
court judge on the West Coast
said, in 45 years on the bench
he’d never had a kid in trouble
before him whose dad had taken
him fishing regularly. That boy
means something to you, doesn’t
he? You want him to grow up to
be a responsible citizen, don’t
you? Prove it to him. Take him
fishing. He’ll greatly appreciate
your spending the time with him.
And you’ll appreciate the kind of
man he’ll turn out to be.
Have you ever looked at a bab
bling, perfectly clear trout
stream, or gazed across an em
erald - green lake, shimmering
under a bright spring sun? Or
stood on the shore and watched
a fiery-red sun sink into the
blood-red reflection in the water?
Or maybe watched a doe and her
z xwn race off Into the forest?
And when you saw these things,
did y<Ai offer up a prayer that
someday your grandchildren and
great-grandchildren would be
able to see the same things?
If you want them to, you have
to do something about it. One
of the things you have to do, is
do your share in teaching con
servation to the youngsters. If
a boy is taught to appreciate na
ture and the need of conserva
tion, he’ll never forget it. Once
he reaches manhood, if he’s been
taught to have no respect for
game or fish laws, he’ll never
have any respect for them. It’s
too late to change him then.
You have no son, you say. And
the wife just won’t go. Look
around a bit, and I’ll bet you’ll
find a neighbor boy whose dad
never takes him fishing,

Your Fence Con Be
More Than An Enclosure
The basic function of a fen

curity. With Imaginative design
and styling, it can do much more.
Well-designed fencing imparts
a sense of freedom rather than
confinement. It screens your
yard but does not conceal attr
active views. It is an archit
ectural medium for unitizing
home and landscape. It Is an
artistic achievement in Its own
right—the ideal background for
outdoor living.

board, shadow-box, basketweave,
just to name a few. An ench
anting impression ensues when
the fencing pattern is of a de
tail and color that match the
exterior house walls. For ex
ample, board-and-board fencing
with a sawn-texture effect is
the ideal companion piece for
home exteriors of rough-sawn
lumber.
When the fence design is in
tegrated with wood decks and
planters, the result is an Intri

Southern Pine lumber is well
adapted to fencing because of its
high strength, resistance towear
and ease of treatment. Pressure
treatment with chemical preser
vatives assures Immunity to in

Lumber treated with colorless,
odorless preservatives is av

When planning fences, it is de

and meets building code require
