Gov. Proclaims
February as
Heart Month
Governor Marvin Griffin has
designated February as Heart
Month in Georgia, and he urged
all citizens and organizations to
support the 1957 Heart Fund Cam
paign.
<ln a proclamation issued this
week, Gov. Griffin pointed out that
"the heart and circulatory diseases
account for more deaths each year
in Georgia and throughout the
United States than all other
causes of death combined.
“A mass assault against the
heart and circulatory diseases re
quires increased medical research,
professional education programs to
inform physicians about the latest
knowledge in the heart field, lay
education to dispel misconceptions
among the general public and en
courage early diagnosis, and com
munity services which includes re
habilitation of cardiac patients,
rheumatic fever prevention and
other programs.”
The proclamation notes that the
Georgia Heart Association,
“through its statewide programs
of research, education and com
munity services devotes itself to
the furtherance of these objec
tives” and declares that the sup
port given by the citizens of Geor
gia to the annual Heart Fund has
made it possible for Georgia to
develop one of the outstanding
heart disease control programs in
the nation.
In view of these facts, the Gov
ernor urged “all schools, churches,
scientific bodies, civic associations,
business establishments, social and
fraternal organizations and the
people generally to give this praise
worthy movement their fullest sup
port and cooperation.”
The Heart Fund Drive, directed
by the Georgia Heart Association,
will be conducted during the month
of February throughout Georgia.
Charles S. Motz, Atlanta, is state
campaign chairman.

Legislation To
Help Tobacco
Farmers Urged
Legislation will be introduced in
Congress to pay Georgia tobacco
farmers for this year’s 20 per cent
cut in acreage allotments at the
same rate as that placed in the
soil bank, according to a news item
from the Associated Press.
H. L. Wingate, president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation,
in announcing the move, said ap
proval of such a bill would give
growers around $225 per acre for
that part of his allotment he lost
over the 1956 crop. But the meas
ure is expected to cover only the
1957 crop.
The 20 per cent cut in acreage
allotments by the government in
a move to cut down mounting sur
pluses may cost Georgia farmers
as much as 13 million dollars this
year. It follows a 12 per cent
acreage cut in 1956 and a five per
cent reduction in 1955 for a total
of 37 per cent in three years.
Some growers say they face pos
sible loss of their allotments be
cause the acreage reduction makes
production costs prohibitive. The
average size of the allotments
range around two and one-half
acres for 1957.
The 1957 allotment for Georgia
is around 72,000 acres, compared
with 90,100 acres in 1956.
Some farmers may be able to
offset the acreage reduction
through lighter yields. But U. S.
Department of Agriculture records
show Georgia farmers lost nearly
eight million dollars in 1956 when
the reduction figure was 12 per
cent.

WASHINGTON
THE PROPOSED FEDERAL
budget for 1957-58 looks like an
oversized Sears-Roebuck catalog.
It is a formidable book of 1251
pages, not including the 356-page
supplement required to list the
Government’s payroll, and weighs
four and three-fourths pounds. Un
like the “wish book,” however, it
does not contain something for
everybody as it leaves the poor
taxpayer out without even a hint
of that long-promised tax cut.
The $71.8-bil
lion new spend
ing program is
■ a far cry from
j the pledge
: which President
i Eisenhower
' made as a can
| didate in 1952
J to “cut federal
spending to something like S6O bil
lion within four years.” Rather it
is strangely reminiscent of the final
Truman budget which horrified the
incoming Eisenhower Administra
tion and prompted a $lO billion cut.
It also points up a striking incon
sistency with the President’s State
of the Union message in which he
pled for labor and mangement to
combat inflation by foregoing un
necessary wage and price increases
and resolved that the Federal Gov
ernment would utilize “only a
prudent share of the nation’s re
sources.”
* ♦ ♦
MERELY TO READ the budget
thoroughly would require at least
three days of uninterrupted read
ing and to make a comprehensive
study of it would take months.
Several significant facts stand out,
however, even upon superficial
examination.
Although the total of the budget
is stated at $71.8 billion, carryover
appropriations and authorizations
from previous years would almost
double that figure. Should the

MRS. HARRY FUTCH

, budget be enacted as proposed and
i the Government utilize every ap
. propriation and authorization, fed
eral spending during the next fiscal
year could run as high as $143.3
billion.
Despite the fact that the national
debt has been reduced during both
the last and present fiscal years,
the interest on it has shown a
steady increase as the result of the
Administration’s hard money
policies. It now totals $7.3 billion
and constitutes the second highest
item in the overall budget.
The Administration has com
mitted itself to a program of per
petual and ever-increasing foreign
: aid. With a specific presidential
message on this subject still to be
presented, the budget serves notice
that new appropriations of $4.4
billion will be sought, a - substantial
portion of that amount on a “blank
check’” basis.
♦ * ♦
WHILE THIS NEW budget is in
theoretical balance, it must be rec
ognized that that balance is based
upon increased revenues rather
than reduced expenditures. Fur
thermore, it gives every indication
of further increases to come and
holds forth no hope for tax reduc
tion in the foreseeable future.
Secretary of the Treasury
George Humphrey emphasized the
consequences of continuing such an
unsound fiscal policy with his dec
laration that its ultimate result
would be “a depression that will
curl your hair.”
Anything as large as the pro
posed new budget obviously can
be reduced considerably without
impairing any essential services or
programs. I hope that the Demo
cratic majority in Congress will
undertake to do just that.
Forestry News
I The continued growth of the
p forest industry in Georgia was
vividly illustrated with the release
this week of the 1956 annual re
port of the Georgia Forestry Com
’ mission, Director Guyton DeLoach
said.
, The 1955-56 year saw the Corn
। mission move its headquarters to
a new building at Macon as “the
somewhat dubious vision of doub
, ling our forest output began to
show promise of fulfillment,” De-
Loach said.
. Georgia leads the nation in the
amount of private and state forest
. land under organized fire control.
One hundred forty-five county
forest units protect 22,439,300
acres. In Bryan County, 164,200
acrefeare under protection of the
Bryan County Unit, Ranger Rickey
said.
The Ranger reported that there
have been 10 fires so far this year
which burned 39’4 acres.
DeLoach reported a great in
crease in forest management ac
tivities. The goal is threefold—to
follow better cutting practices, con
trol unmerchantable hardwoods
and to utilize the tree more com
pletely.
250 acres of sawtimber were
marked in Bryan County last year.
Three management, cases were
handled in the County, Ranger
Richey reported.
Even greater seedlings produc
tion is planned, as work on Page
- Memorial Nursery began last year.
This will Iswell seedling production
to 240 million next year, DeLqach
said.

1957 Construction Highlights
Record Building Program
For More Electric Power
Name your index. In homes, business, indus
try and agriculture, Georgia is growing.
There has been plenty of electric power for
this growth in the past, and there will be
plenty in the future.
In 1957 the Georgia Power Company will
spend more than ssl million in expanding
and improving its facilities for serving you.
This figure will represent the largest outlay
the company ever has made for construction
in a single year.
In addition to this record expenditure,
approximately sll million will be paid for
the properties of the Georgia Power and
Light Company, and about s2^ million will
be invested in new and improved facilities in
the South Georgia area now served by that
company. The Georgia Power Company will
also assume the bonded debt of the Georgia
Power and Light Company amounting to
$7,705,000.
Work on the installation of two 125,000-
kilowatt generating units at Plant Yates,
near Newnan, will be continued. Construction
of Oliver Dam, on the Chattahoochee river
near Columbus, will begin this year, provided
a license is received from the Federal Power
Commission. Work will be started on a second
unit of 75,000 kilowatts at Plant McManus
near Brunswick.
New customers to be served during 1957
are estimated at more than 24,000. Approxi
mately 575 miles of distribution lines and
350 miles of transmission lines will be built.
These are highlights that herald another
busy year. They assure you more than ever
of good electric service whenever and wher
ever you need it.
