The Educated Man
:•$ U. S. Census Bureau statistics Indicate that a college
:<: education is one of the best “investments” that a young
■:•:• man can make. For example, between the ages of 22 and 65,
a person with an eighth-grade education can expect to earn
a total of $445,000. Four years of high school boosts life
time earnings to $623,000, and those with four or more
w years of college may expect to earn $1,125 million by re
>•:•: tirement. Earning capability has long been used as an
S: inducement for a college education—but statistics do not tell
the whole story.
Far more than earning ability is required today. Business

leaders all over the country are warning that private citizens
and business executives in particular must participate to
a greater extent in public affairs, and must exert more ini
tiative in helping to solve the social and economic pro- •••■:
blems of our time. The alternative is gradual submergence gi;
of our liberties in a sea of governmental bureaucracy and jig
centralized authority. jxj
A college degree looked upon solely as a source of su
perior earning ability often becomes no more than a li
cense to exploit fellow citizens. The horizon of the truly
educated man includes deep concern for the political
and economic system under which he is privileged to live. ig:

Car Costs Revealed
A motorist who trades for a new car every three years will
have an average cost of $1,362 a year for 10,000 miles of driv
ing, or 13.6 cents a mile, estimates the American Automobile
Association. Fixed costs, including depreciation, are estimated
at $982 a year, up from SBO7 in 1965. Operating costs —gas,
oil, servicing—are estimated at S3BO, compared with $370 two
years ago. That’s based on a comparatively low-priced car.
Individual expenses will vary widely by type of car, miles per
year, and other factors-
1 $360 MILLION A YEAR
NEW YORK—Petroleum com
panies pay millions of dollars an
nually to the federal government
and state governments for opera
tions on public lands, OH Facts
reports.
In fiscal 1967 the federal go
vernment collected a record $896
million from this source. The
cumulative total since 1920 ex
ceeds $4.5 billion, with about 60
per cent of this coming from le
ases on the Outer Continental
Shelf.
State governments collect
more than $360 million a year
from oil and gas leasing operat
ions on state-owned lands.
Heart disease is by no means
an exclusive liability of the

of the heart and circulation

five leading causes combined.

You wouldn’t buy a dryer
without a washer.
So why buy a washer
without a dryer?

Put a modern electric dryer next to your mod
ern electric washer. And you put an end to the
vicious laundry cycle.
You can forget the tons of toting and hours
of stooping and straining. Forget rain, soot and
whipping wind. Clothes dry in an electric dryer
in less time, with less trouble, day or night.
There’s no fading, no streaking. And without
harsh weathering, clothes stay softer. Towels
tumble out thick and thirsty. Everything from
sheets to shirts has a fresh, clean smell that
only flameless electric drying can give.
A modern electric dryer costs less to buy, less
to maintain than any other dryer. Os course,
there’s the sun. But you know what a fair
weather friend the sun can be.
You can buy a modern electric dryer from Georgia
Power Company for just (3.57 a month paid over a .5-
year period—with a 5-year warranty on parts and labor.

MOVING PLANTS
House plants still on the patio
or terrace may be facing danger.
Troy Keeble, horticulturist with
the University of Georgia Co

says a gradual change from the
outdoor setting to inside temper
atures is best for these plants,
Sudden transition from outside
