Ginn Says Put Abled - Bodied
Welfare Recipients To Work
Congressman Bo Ginn has
called on President Ford to
divert money from a recently
announced public service em
ployment program Into a new
federal campaign to put able
bodied welfare recipients back
to work.
Ginn said In a speech pre
pared for delivery on the
Floor of the House September
23, that the change would
"require little additional cost
and would go a long way tow
ard breaking the back of the
national disgrace of welfare
abuse and high costs."
President Ford announced
recently that he plans to
spend $415 million to fight
unemployment by creating
public service jobs In State
and Local government and
then filling those jobs with
persons on the unemployment
rolls. Thelr salaries would be
paid In full or In part by the
federal government.
Glnn proposed that the jobs
be filled Instead with welfare
recipients who are mentally
and physically able to work.
Excluded would be the blind,
disabled, persons too old or
young to work and certain
other Individuals determined
by the States to be exempt.
Eligible persons who refuse to
work would be removed from
the welfare rolls.
Glnn said In hls comments
on the House Floor that he
believes hls plan would pay
for Itself In savings of welfare
payments and other public
assistance which now costs
about $23 billion per year.
The money saved could be
used to help non-welfare re
cipients who have lost thelr
jobs due to Inflation by pro
viding federal job training

Ginn said "persons who are
out of work, rather than be
ing chronic welfare recipients
are the best candidates for
reemployment through train
ing and job placement. But
welfare recipients are at the
bottom of the ladder In terms
of deucatlon, skills and ex
perience. They have an ur
gent need for public service
type jobs to put them on the
road toward full employ
ment."
The First District Congress
man told hls House colleagues,
"I believe my plan would re
store dignity to deserving peo
ple who are on the welfare
rolls by giving them an hon
est day's day for an honest
day's work."
Glnn outlined hls proposal
in a telegram to President
Ford, and asked the President
to Implement the welfare ov
erhaul as quickly as possible.
In announcing hls welfare
reform proposal, Glnn said It
would work this way:
— All adults or children
over 16 not in school who re
ceive welfare and not exempt
ed for other reasons would be
required to submit to a medi
cal examination to determine
if they are physically able to
work.
— The States would coor
dinate the creation of the jobs
which could Include any work
commensurate with the skills
and ability of the worker. Sal
aries for each job would be
established by the States de
pending on the need of the
family and type of work. Sal
aries could exceed payments
under welfare. At least half
of the jobs in any State must
be with City or County gov
ernment.
There are some 15 million
recipients of the basic types
of welfare in the United
States. Georgia pays out
about $lB million in welfare
payments each month, and
welfare is the largest month
ly payroll in some of Georgia
counties.
The current welfare system
discourages work, Ginn said,
because if recipients get part
time jobs their benefits are
cut in proportion to thelr
earnings.
A recent Congressional stu
dy showed that a welfare re
cipient In Georgia can, In
some instances, make more
money on welfare than in
regular employment.
The study aiw showed that
a family of four in New York
City would have to earn over
$11,500 per year to equal the
benefits of a similar family
receiving all available welfare,
health, and housing benefits
of the poor.
"We have a national dis
grace on our hands," Ginn
said. "We have a system that
encourages fathers to aban
don their families so the fam
ilies can be eligible for wel
fare. We have got to put as
many welfare recipients as
possible to work, and I belive
my plan would get that job
done. We desperately need
to Increase production to
combat Inflation and give
middle Income taxpayers a
break."

Tigers Dump EC! For
First Win Os The Year
BY CURTIS SCOTT
The Reidsville Tigers pre
sented a tough defense to the
previously unbeaten ECI Bull
dogs Friday night to gain
their initial win of the year
by a 7-0 score.
Five different times in the
frist half of the ball game,
ECI began their offensive
drives inside the Reidsville 44.
A jarring tackle by David
Crews led to the first Tiger
defensive stand causing a
Bulldog fumble at the 17 re
covered by Abe Brewton. La
ter in the first quarter, safety
Mike Canady intercepted an
errant Bulldog aerial at the
15 to stop another drive. In
the opening moments of the
second period, Ronald Stan
field intercepted another
Bulldog misguided aerial at
the Tiger 14. A field goal at
tempt from the 27 failed by
ECI as the Tiger defense held
at the 19.
Finally, Stanfield Intercept
ed his second Bulldog pass in
the end zone after ECI gained
pigskin possession via a Tiger
fumble at the 18. It was af
ter this interception that the
Reidsville offense made their
only venture into Bulldog ter
ritory as they drove to the
ECI 41 as the first half came
to an end and a 0-0 score.
Neither team could muster
any type scoring drive in the
third quarter but a 70 yard

pass interception return by
linebacker Billy Collins with
3:08 remaining gave the Ti
gers their initial points of the
year. David Crews kicked the
PAT and Reidsville led 7-0
with still the final period to
be played. The Tiger defense
maintained their stamina
throughout the final period
holding ECI at the 28 and 17
before Leslie Byrd Intercepted
the fifth errant pass thrown
by the ECI quarterback at the
18 to "ice" the game and win
for the Tigers.
Again the offensive team
failed to put together any
kind of consistent attack and
halfback Gwaln Durden man
aged the only significant of
fensive output as he rushed
for 63 yards on 11 carries.
The Tiger defense was mag
nificent, however, as the likes
of Durden, Abe Brewton, Don
Smith, Cornell Larry and Kai
ser Fleming anchored the
"front five" while Billy Col
lins, Kenny Sikes, David
Crews, Leslie Byrd, Mike Can
ady and Ronald Stanfield
took care of secondary at
tacks. Collins proved the an
chor man by contributing 13
Individual tackles. Sikes and
Crews also played well at thelr
linebacker positions by mak
ing eight stops each. Ronald
Stanfield demonstrated much
maturity and stamina at a de
fensive halfback position In

CHEVROLETS NEW
EFFICIENCY SYSTEM
FOR 1975 It's the key part of a program
aimed at helping our new cars run leaner
(more economically), run cleaner—and save
you money every mile.
The Efficiency System is standard on all
1975 Chevrolets with V 8 or 6-cylinder engines.
It's a series of significant engineering improve
ments working together for the very first time.
Components include High Energy Ignition,
catalytic converter, Early Fuel Evaporation and
steel-belted radial ply tires. In sum, the System
is designed to heighten the pleasure and lower
the cost of driving a 1975 Chevrolet—to bring
you a better running car in many ways, along
with improved fuel economy, more miles
between recommended maintenance and an
engine that stays cleaner internally because of
no-lead fuel.
Your Chevrolet dealer will gladly give you
the details and answer your questions. Sec him
and the sensible 1975 Chevrolets starting
