MEMBER
HOME PRODUCE ‘FREE’
NOW TO RECIPIENTS
OF OLD AGE AW ARDS
Recipients of Old Age Assist
ance awards in Georgia will no
longer have deducted from their
cheeks the value of produce
grown by them, according to
Judge Alan Kemper, Director of
the State Department of Public
Welfare.
Judge Kemper said that the
new regulation is the result of
intensive efforts on the part of
the Southern States over the
past several years.
He said that under new Fed
eral regulations, which went into
effect on March 20th, persons re
ceiving OAA benefits can grow
all the produce they wish, with
out having it counted as Income,
provided none of it is sold The
word "produce; is interpreted to
include vegetables, poultry, hogs,
cows, sheep, etc., or any product
which is grown tor home con
sumption.
The Director emphasized that
none of these products can be
sold, if the new provision is to be
effective.
Old Age Assistance benefi
ciaries were allowed formerly to
deduct a part of the value of
produce grown, but not all of it.

The magic of old country lanes!
With little travel to and fro,
The trees draw closer to the road . . .
More friendly . . . ‘til it seems as though
The slender branches try to reach
Across the way to say "hello!"
to dogwood on the other side.
Deep shaded purple violets grow
Down to the roadside's very edge.
It’s winding holds surprises ... oh! !
Hearts stop in unison ... a fawn,
Startled, swingk to leap and go
For refuge to dim forest paths,
With my recovery more slow . . .
Charmed by a fleeting spotted ghost,
Still lost in wonder’s afterglow.

C. OF C. SECRETARY
For 18 Years Outstanding
Dahlia Grower in Nation
Clayton County has, for the past 18 years, been the
home of one of the Country’s outstanding dahlia growers.
Beginning nearly 30 years ago
as a hobby, the dahlia was turned 1
into an avocation and then a :
business by Norman LalVJptte, our
present secretary manager of the 1
Clayton County Chamber of ;
Commerce. i
Mr. LaMotte is now recognized ’
as the foremost originator of new 1
dahlia varieties in the South. 1
Amopg his originators are five I
which have won national honors
through National Trial Garden I
certification for excellence and 1
as selections for the National '
Honor Rolls. His Golden Treas- '
ure, a lovely 8 inch, golden yel- '
low, has been acclaimed as the 1
greatest winner in its class
throughout the nation for the
past four years.
Since assuming the duties of
manager of the Chamber of ;
Commerce, some 18 months ago,
Mr. LaMotte has confined his 1
dahlia interests to growing, only, ।

Following is the FHA creed:
“We are the Future Home
makers of America. We face the
future with warm courage and
high hope. For we have the clear
consciousness of seeking old and
precious values. For we are the
builders of homes, homes for
America’s future, homes where
living will be the expression of
everything that is good and fair,
homes where truth and love and
security and faith will be re
alities, not dreams. We are the
Future Homemakers of America.
We face the future with warm
courage and high hope."
for the H. G. Hastings Co., At
lanta, Ga., and in hybridizing
for new varieties. This process is
carried on through planting se
lect seed, the bloom of which will
all be different, one from the
other. If one out of thousands is
worthy of naming and intro
ducing, the originator feels well
repaid. Mr. LaMotte plans to
grow about 1,000 seedlings this
year. His introductions aje never
put on the market until they
have been grown for four years
or longer, to test them from
every angle. He will have several
entered for national rating and
consideration again this year.

KNOW YOUR PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE LAWS
By Alan Kemper
(Editor’s note: This is the first
in a series of “Question and An
swer" columns by the Director of
the Georgia State Welfare De
partment, concerning laws and
regulations relating to the Public
Assistance program of the State.)
Q — What types of Public As
sistance are provided by the
State of Georgia?
A.—The State Department of
Public Welfare administers four
Federally-aided Public Assist
ance programs, namely, Old Age
Assistance, Aid to the Blind, Aid
to Dependent Children, and Aid
to the Totally Disabled.
Q.—What is meant by the term
“Federally-aided”?
A —These programs were es
tablished by Federal legislation,
which provides that the Federal
government will match State
funds, on a percentage basis.
Q- —What percentage does the
EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE

by Rev. Hoyt Farr, pastor of the
First Baptist. Pastors represent
ing other denominations will
have parts on the program.
All the people in the commu
nity are invited and urged to
attend.
The Kiwanis Club’s Committee
on Support of Churches is pro
moting this event.

Federal funds will pay 90% of the building costs of the great new
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. This state pay's
the other 10%—and pays all maintenance cost forever. That’s why
taxpayers favor the use of durable concrete for these roads. Concrete’s
maintenance costs are lower—much lower than the annual mainte
nance cost of the next most commonly built type pavement.
And since maintenance costs come out of your state's highway
budget, the use of low-maintenance-cost concrete leaves more money
in the highway fund to build other urgently needed new roads.
