these veterans apparently believe
they ajen’t eligible for the pay
ment because they received an
earlier sl-a-day allowance for time
spent as POWs on substandard
diets.
The $1.50-a-day payment is au
thorized by Public Law 303, the
War Claims Act of 1952, for all
U. S. Servicemen who were sub
jected to forced labor or inhumane
treatment while held as prisoners
of war.
This pyament is in addition to
the sl-a-day compensation paid by
P. L. 896, Eightieth Congress, to
ex-POWs whose food in captivity
was not up to the standards re
quired by the Geneva Convention.
The deadline for claming pay
ment under the new act is April
9, 1953. Former civilian internes
are not eligible as they were for
the first payment.
Claim forms for the current
POW benefit were mailed by the
commission direct to 132,000 ex
prisonegs of war whose names were
on file. About 80,000 veterans or
their survivors have returned them.
Yes, it’s on display right now, waiting
to show you what a really modern
tractor can and should be.
It’s waiting with extra power, extra
size, extra weight. It’s ready to dem
onstrate new handling ease, comfort
and convenience.'
It’s eagerly waiting to introduce you
to the most advanced hydraulic sys
tem in any tractor. We call it Live-
Action Hydraulic Control. That means
split-second hydraulic response any
time the tractor engine is running.
Thea there’s a choice of hydraulic
speeds when you want even faster
action. It is called Hy-Trol.
This new tractor is waiting with
its great new overhead valve Ford
“Red Tiger” engine. With its greatly
reduced piston travel, lessened friction
and other advanced design features,
this engine develops ample reserve
power with new economy of gas
and oil.
Most important of all. Ford’s
Golden Jubilee Model is waiting to
show you what it can do—what this
great combination of modem advance
ments and every time-proved Ford
Tractor advantage means in more and
better work, done more easily and
more profitably.

Symbol Os
Vast Change
Every phase of human life has
been revolutionized in the last cen
tury. And nowhere have there been
more spectacular changes than in
the oldest industry of all—agri
culture.
One hundred years ago four out
of five people worked at the job
of producing raw materials for
food, clothing and shelter. Today
these basic needs are supplied by
just one out of five. And even
that doesn’t tell the whole story
—for we have far better and more
varied foods and other products
of agricultural origin than in past
times.
This is very largely the result
of the application of the machine
to farm jobs that were olnce ac
complished slowly and laboriously
by hand. It is not an exaggeration
to say that, on the modern farm,
rhe machine has displaced hand
labor. It does the work much more
economically and efficiently than
is possible with human muscle.
And its usefulness is not limited
to the production of crops. The
machine makes it possible for the
farmer to conserve and improve
his soil and to fight successfully
against such old natural ravages
as floods and erosion. The machine
gives more food from fewer acres
today, and at the same time as
sures that the soil will be fertile
and productive tomorrow.
The plow, the seeder, the baler,
the cultivator, the tractor, the

of education.

vances agriculture has made in
the span of a long lifetime. And
they symbolize, as well, farming’s
present-day status as a business
and a profession.
Steering Steady
Course Big Job
At Hand —Herman
ATLANTA,—(GPS) Declaring
that “your state government is
following a carefully planned chart
for progressive growth . . . based
on sound planning and responsi
ble fiscal policy,’ ’Gov. Hen-man
Talmadge, in his message to the
new General Assembly now in ses
sion, told Georgia’s lawmakers
“our big job together at this time
is to steer a steady course for
the continued benefit of all the
people of Georgia.”
Praising members of the legis
lature for their cooperation in the
past and calling for continued har
mony, the young chief executive
paintedpainted two pictures for
his listeners: (1) The condition of
the state when he first took of
fice little more than four years
ago and (2) the condition of the
state today.
Pictured No. 1 showed Georgia’s
common schools and University
System facing a crisis . . . the
state making a feeble attempt to
get its share of federal money for
welfare benefits . . . the Highway
Department, shot through with
politics and with no policy, doing
virtually nothing ... no state
matching money at all for hospital
and health center onstruction un
der the then two-year-old federal
Hill-Burton Act . . . our state in
stitutions (Milledgeville, Battey
and others) had passed the point
of disgrace and were a source
of shame to every Georgian.
“That was the dark picture
which faced us on that bleak No
vember day in 1948,” the Gover
nor said. “The challenge at that
time before the people, the leg
islature and this administration
called for patience, teamwork, co
operation and faith. In the last
four years wo have made progress
in Georgia of such significance
as to bring pride to all our citi
zens and, at the same time, to
receive wholesome commendation
from the rest of the country.”
Then he described, step by step,
picture No. 2, which recorded vast
improvements in all public serv
ices performed by the state gov
ernment. Here are a few examples:
EDUCATION: Total outlay for
common schools increased from
an $37.5-million a year o $94-mil
lion, an increase of more than 100
per cent. Result: The number of
state-paid teachers increased from
20,000 to 25,000; average teachers’
salaries rose from $1,715 in 1947
to $2,555. A thousand neiw school
buses were added to the 3,000 in
operation to provide better trans
portation. Building authorities
were created to contract and im
prove buildings for both common
schools and the University Sys
tem at a cost of many millions of
dollars.
HIGHWAYS: A total of 9,543
miles of highways and rural roads
or major reconstruction were com
pleted or let to contract at a total
cost of $152.5-million , an all-time
peak. Grants to counties for road
work have been doubled. All high
way user revenues are going to
road construction and maintenance.
Some $2-million annually is being
spent to repair antiquated and
dilapidated narrow wooden bridges.
WELFARE: Total outlay for
all types of assistance has been
increased from S2O-million an
nually in 1948 to $55-million now,
nearly trebled. Average pension
payments are up from $18.69 a
month to $33.82. At the same
time, 27,000 new names have Keen
added to the 109,381 on the, rolls.in.
June, 1948.
HEALTH: Under the coopera
tive Hill-Burton Act, 50 hospitals
and 61 health centers costing S3B
- have been completed, are
under construction or have been
approved in Georgia. Facilities
have been improved and enlarged
to care for more patients at Bat
tcy TB Hospital, Milledgeville
State Hospital and other institu
tions; plans have been completed
for the sls-million Eugene Tal
madge Memorial General Hospital.
FARM BENEFITS: Nineteen
new farmers’ markets have been
built at strategic points over
Georgia. Result: Market sales have
jumped from $43-million in 1948
to $72-million last year. More
money has been appropriated to
enlarge and improve soil conser
vation and forestry programs and
to aid farmers engaged in raising
livestock and poultry.
COMMERCE: Dedication of the
new State Port at Savannah whose
facilities, built by the State Ports
Authority at a cost of $5.5-million
are now estimated to be worth

over 12-million; creation of the
Georgia Department of Commerce,
an agency which has been instru
mental in attracting many new in
dustries to the state.
After doing all that and more,
the state now has a s2l-million
surplus in the Treasury, Gov. Tal
madge said. But he warned the
lawmakers that state revenue is
likely to drop; urged them to hold
the line on spending by keeping
appropriations within the present
$230-million annual budget. He
also asked them to remain in ses
sion for the full 70 days rather
than split it and come back in the
heat of an election year in 1954
when little if anything of a con
structive nature would be accom
plished.
