Know Your Better Business
Bureau
If you've ever been gypped
in a business transaction, here’s
a good point to remember. Rep
utable American buslnesslr)nen
are as angry as you are about
this kind of thing.y
In fact, they’ve banded to
gether to form an organization
edicated to the maintenance of
ethical standards in buying and
selling. It's called the Better
Business Bureau, and it’s worth
knowing about if only because
you may need the services it
provides.
What can happen to you?
Well, let’s look at the criminal
record.
Exhibit A. A woman in To;lnL
ka opened her door to a caller’
who offered to paint her house
(a S4OO dollar job) for SSO. He
quickly bowed himself out of the
house, and disappeared, when
she said sk~d have to talk it
over with her husband. Turned
out the contract was full of fine
print adding up to hidden
charges of over SSOO.
Exhibit B. A man in La Jolla
sank $750 into automatic vend
ing machines. The promotion
literature said he’d be able to
run a tidy little business on the
Other manpower areas of
responsibility include ad
ministration of Neighbor
hood Youth Corps, special
manpower programs under
the Economic Opportunity
Act, including those designed
for adult participation such
as Operation Mainstream
and New Careers.
Currently there are three
Concentrated Employment
Programs (CEP) going on in
the Southeast: Atlanta, Bir
mingham, and the Missis
sippi Delta area. These CEP
projects are designed to
bring total community, State
and Federal resources to bear
on areas of high unemploy
ment and underemployment,
with particular emphasis
upon serving the needs of
the disadvantaged in rural
urban ghettos.
Veterans—
Watch Out for
Side Deals
Veterans seeking home
loans guaranteed by the Vet
erans Administration are ad
vised by the VA to be cau
tious about getting involved
in “side deals” or “tie-in
sales” as a condition to pur
chasing a home.
There have been cases in
which veterans have been
requested or even required to
purchase items of furniture
or other merchandise. These
are paid for in cash and not
from the proceeds of the
loan guaranteed or insured
by the VA, in some cases the
items have been so over
priced as to constitute addi
tional consideration for the
purchase of a home.
Sometimes these offers are
legitimate and benefit the
veteran, and the VA has no
objection to such purchases
so long as they are not paid
for with the proceeds of the
loan,
In any case where the
seller and purchaser have
entered into a “side arrange
ment” or “tie-in-sale” in
volving personal property to
evade the G. I. statutory re
quirement that the purchase
price of the home not be in
excess of the reasonable
value established by the VA
appraisal, the VA is required
to investigate the matter
thoroughly.
In cases where a “side
deal” or ‘“tie-in-sale” ap
pears to be involved, details
must be revealed to the VA,
which deserves the right to
inspect and appraise the
items involved before ap
proving a loan.

e Here are some good rules to

use whatever until you have in

‘Let
Ring’
Georgians last week were
active in all phases of the
49th annual American Farm
Bureau Federation Conven
tion in Chicago which ended
in the re-election of Charles
B. Shuman as president and
the adoption of policies to
guide the federation on na
tional and international is
sues.
The nation’s largest farm
organization showed a mem
bership gain of 49,624 fam
ilies over the previous year
and reached a total of 1,753,-
532 member families. The
South racked up the larger
part of that gain—some
35,953 to become the largest
membership region in the
nation.
Theme of the convention
was “Let Freedom Ring”. A
heavy emphasis of the na
tional farm convention was
on marketing. There was a
clear cut emphasis that
farmers and especially the
nation's largest farm organ
ization sees marketing-bar
gaining by farmers through

What's Ahead for Georgia?
ats Ahead for Georgia:
It is frequently difficult at any given moment, partly because of fragmen
tary pieces of reliable information, to take stock of this state’s accomplishments
insofar as its goals and objectives for a brighter, prosperous economy are con
cerned. Nevertheless, with the background developed in a recent research study
published by the Industrial Development Division, some initial stocktaking is in
order. Major findings of In
dustrial Development in
Georgia, 1958-1965, a report
prepared by Amy Collins,
IDD economist, are both
encouraging and discon
certing.
For the fifth time in this
century, enough jobs have
been made available in
Georgia to accommodate the
state’s increasing population
and, equally important, to
attract new residents from
other parts of the country.
The state, in recent years,
has been able to draw in
more people than the num
ber leaving its boundaries—
a net gain of some 81,000 be
tween 1960 and 1965.
One of the major problems
still confronting the state,
the report emphasizes, is
that of attracting more
high-wage industries. Geor
gia’s present industrial mix
is heavily weighted by low
wage industries, with almost
60% of total manufacturing
employment in four such in
dustry categories, contrasted
to the national share of only
26% in these same indus

tries.
While Georgia’s per capita
income amounted to less
than half the national aver
age in 1929, by 1965 this pro
portion had increased to
78.6%. However, closing of
the actual dollar gap be
tween Georgia and the na
tion has been less startling.
The difference in per cap
ita income nationally and
for this state in 1929
amounted to $650. While in
1965 this gap had dropped
to $587, the long-term
trend presages a gradual
widening so that by 1985 the
difference will amount to
$690.
To catch up with the na
tional level of per capita in
come by 1985 the state
would have to raise present
average income by $1,783.
This steep acceleration is a
challenge, indeed, and can
be accomplished only by a
stepped-up process of ac
quisition of more high-wage
industry. One of the major
stumbling blocks to such an
achievement is the urgent
need for improvement in the
