Newton Family Is Valued At $15,700
Are Newton County residents
richer than they think?
What Is the net worth of the
average local family, taking into
account its cash savings, the
equity in its home, its car, in
vestments, insurance, pension
reserves, clothing and the like?
A family balance sheet, in
which the assets are listed in
one column and the liabilities in
another, may prove to be an eye
opener, as most people have
never figured out how much they
have accumulated over the years.
They know, in a general way,
that they are better off than they
once were, in most cases, but
they have never worked it out in
dollars and cents.
Some help in this direction is
now available through national
studies made by the Federal Re
serve Board, the Institute of Life
Insurance and others.
They find that the earning ca
pacity of a family and its net
worth are directly related. Th
ose in the higher brackets have
assets equal to several times
their annual Incomes while those
with modest Incomes have ac
cumulated proportionately less.

REALITY
Giving the electric industry’s
viewpoint, Mr. Earl Ewald, ch
airman of Northern States Power
Company, said: "In the city of
the future, where man seems
determined to continue to crowd
together In a small space, the
utilization of electrical energy
will be multiplied manyfold to
assure that the environment is
suitable for man’s well-being.
It will not be a pristine envir
onment and men will not live in
wigwams.
We in the electric industry
recognize full well the serious
ness of our environmental prob
lems. We can agree on goals and
objectives for a long-term ideal
solution to those problems but
this is a real world and the ap
proach to those problems must
be done in the context of reality.”
Fire Damage Soars
NEW YORK—Fire losses in
the United States in 1968
reached a record $1,829,922,000,
reports the Insurance Informa
tion Institute. However, due to
fire prevention efforts, the ratio
of losses to the value of prop
erty subject to fire has declined
steadily for many years.
Air Conditioners

A Colorful Look
NEW YORK (a) — When
you think of room air condi

Many new lines are wrap

sheet in decorator colors so
that you can blend the ex
posed outside with the color
of your house!
And colored aluminum
grills on the inside can also
be color coordinated for a
pleasing effect.
The nice thing about the
aluminum is that, of course,
it's rustfree; you avoid the
stains that can develop with
some other materials. Be
cause of this rustfree char
acteristic. the metal protects
the paint rather than vice

THE COVINGTON NEWS
to the current earning levels in
the area, the national figures
Indicate an average net worth
of $15,700 per family locally.
The amount applies to the so
called “average” family. It
lumps together all age groups—
the older ones, who have been
adding to their assets over the
years, as well as the younger
ones, who are on the way up.
For typical families in some
specific brackets, the estimates
are as follows: those with af
ter-tax incomes of $5,000 to
$7,000, a net worth ranging from
$10,500 to $15,500, those with
$7,000 to $9,000, net worth of
$15,500 to $21,000, and those in
the $12,000 to $15,000 bracket,
assets of $38,500 to $63,000.
For the population of Newton
County as a whole, the total net
worth comes to an estimated
$103,500,000.
Included Is the value of all
housing, automobiles, household
equipment, life insurance, wear
ing apparel, bank accounts, bus
iness interests and stock hold
ings.
On the other side of the ledger
are Installment debt, mortgages,
medical bills, payments due on
the car and all other obligations.
accidents.
‘‘We anticipate a big volume
of traffic, and I would strongly
recommend to every driver that
he drive defensively at all
times,” said Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
Col. Burson said all available
state troopers would be out on the
roads during the holiday period.
They will be backed up by GBI
agents, license enforcement
agencies who will act as ‘‘spot
ters” for the patrolmen, he said.
Maj. Porter Weaver, com
manding officer of the patrol,
said VASCAR and radar timing
devices will be used extensively
throughout the state in an attempt
to hold down speed — the major
cause of fatal crashes.
“Every able-bodied man we
have will be on the roads working
around-the-clock in an effort to
maintain safety and save lives,”
he said.
Col. Burson, Lt. Col. L. G.
Bell, deputy safety director, and
Maj. Weaver will be traveling
over the state directing this huge
enforcement operation.
