Accomplishments Os Clayton
County Commission
BY JAMES A. DUNCAN
Clayton County Commissioner
Four years ago I submitted
myself to the people of Clay
ton county as a candidate for
County Commissioner. You af
forded me the opportunity and
the privilege of serving you
in this capacity, for which I
shall be eternally grateful.
You and I know then, and we
know now, of the tremendous
influx of population into our
community, and the need for
industry and commerce to ac
company this growth in order
to keep our economy balanced
and provide schools and other
services which our fine area
needs and deserves.
We knew then that we must
study, we must plan, and we
• must do those things which were
necessary to keep abreast of
our changing times. This is even
truer today inasmuch as our
community is growing faster ,
than ever before.
Every effort was made to use
the facilities available to me to
give Clayton County the leader
ship needed in these crucial
times.
It has been my privilege to
attend on three occasions at
the University of Georgia Con
tinuing Education Center short
courses on local government,
and many study courses spon
sored by the National and State
Associations of County Of
ficials. In addition to these
study courses, much printed
matter has been made avail
able to me. The study of this
material, along with my as
sociation with county officers
of larger counties already hav
ing problems which we now
face, has been of tremendous
help to me in serving you.
Clayton County citizens are
progressive in nature and re
sponsive when properly inform-.,
ed by its leadership. Together
we are making our area the
finest place in the nation in
which to work and live.
Some of the things for which
. we can all be proud are:

1. Our fine courthouse.
2. The beautiful office building
which houses the administration
of the Clayton County School
System.
3. The New Health Center in
Forest Park.
4. The New Justice of the
Peace Courthouse in College
Park.
5. The New Health Center to
be erected in the College Park
area soon.
6. The New Juvenile Court
Building soon to be erected in
Jonesboro.
7. The approval of a Bond
Issue for Libraries in Forest
Park, College Park, andJones
boro.
8. The expansion of cur water
system now taking place.
9. The creation of a direc
tor-type Public Works Program
under a fully qualified and reg
istered civil engineer. This new
system has built over fifty miles
of paved roads in a three year
period. Many other roads have
been graded and graveled. A
m<7sJ extensive bridge program
has-been incorporated. Every _
bridge built in our county is
designed by our engineer and
only concrete and steel con
struction is used.
10. The creation of a Central
Purchasing Department All
purchases are now being made
on an open bid basis. Many
items are now being bought
in bulk quantities at great sav
ings. Many thousands of dol
lars have been saved under this
new purchasing system. Every
piece of equipment the county
owns, not expendable, has been
inventoried and an identifica
tion tag attached. This gives us
a complete record of all ma
terial and equipment belonging
to the county.
11. A complete study of our
Police Department by a quali
fied police expert and a re
organization of that department .
The department has been doub- I
led in size and has modern I
police equipment Each new
police applicant must be a hieh '
school graduate, of high noral
character, physically fit, and
pass a rigid examination. He
is then trained in an approved
Police Academy. A realistic pay
scale has been established and
a future assured for the career
policeman.
We continue to attract new in
dustry each year thereby mak
ing these improvements pos
sible without increasing taxes.
There are many other needed
improvements, some of which
are:
1. Recreation program.
2. County-wide grabage col
lection.
3. Fire protection
4. Further Improvement of our
roads and streets both inside
and outside our cities.
5. Continued expansion of our
water and sewer facilities.
6. Continue to Improve our
schools.
7. Hospital facilities.
All of this and more can be
accomplished by planning and
working together and by keep
ing ourselves attractive to in
dustry and commerce.
Should you honor me with an
endorsement term, I promise to
continue to work diligently to
accomplish these things.
S2OO Million
In Vet Benefits
Georgians received more than
S2OO million in Veterans Ad
ministration benefits last year,
Pete Wheeler Director, Geor
gia Department of Veterans
Service said today. This re
cord benefit was $45 million
more than the 1962 total. Most
of the increase was due to
home buying, although the ad
vancing age of Georgia veter
ans resulted in almost $lO mil
lion in direct payments.
Last year, the VA guarante
ed 5,425 home loans in Geor
gia with a face value of $77
million. In 1962, the VA guar
anteed 4,419 loans, with a face
value of s3l million.

FROM YOUR TjO I
I
BY: BEA PRUITT
Afew words this week about I
temporary or short-term hair I
color: This method merely. I
coats the hair shaft and will I
easily wash away with the ■
first shampoo. If you are du- I
bious about trying color for I
the first time, temporary col- I
or is the ideal answer.
Bear in mind that short- I
term rinses will not great- I
ly lighten hair. Dark rinses, I
on the other hand, create a ■
more distinct change, cover- I
ing gray and blending streaks. H
Pearl or platinum rinses are ■
particularly good for adding U
life and luster to totally gray ■ '
hair.
From a short-term rinse U
right on up the line to per- I
manent color, you ladies can I
expect artistic and pro- I
fessional attention at B’ I
Modern Beauty Salon. All our I
talents aren’t directed at hair I
coloring, however; expect I
pert, perky, pulse-pumping I
permanents at B’Modern I
Beauty Salon, 94 College Stre- I
et. Phone 366-1331 and ask I
for Aileen Crowder, Helen I
Gardner, Joan White-- or Bea I
Pruitt, the owner.
THIS WEEK'S HELPFUL
HINT: Never permanent and I
tint hair at the same time. I
There should be a week be- II
tween processes, with the per- I
manent coming first. ,
