We bring Prosperity
Power to 80% of Georgia
Can you even imagine what it would be like
if 80% of the area of Georgia had no electricity?
No businesses. No industries. No conveniences.
No jobs. Well, that’s exactly what would have
happened in most parts of our state if it weren’t for
Georgia’s consumer-owned electric utilities. Because
until local leaders and electrical experts formed these
organizations, some 1.25 million Georgians had
no sou.ee of electric [lower —and faced a very dark
future, foday, if we don’t light you up, we probably
do light up someone you know or love, So when
you think of us, think of Prosperity Power.
That s our business.

Houston County getting
these payments.
To be eligible for social
security disability
payments, which start in the
seventh month of disability,
a worker must be so severely
disabled that it appears that
he will be unable to work for
at least a year, and have
sufficient work covered by
social security. If you are
disabled and have worked
under social security, call
the Macon Social Security
office at 743-0381.
Q. I am a 52-year-old
widow getting a monthly
social security check for
myself and my son who is 17.
He plans to enlist in the
Army. Should I report this to
social security? 1.0., Ferry
A. Yes. Since you are
receiving a payment
because you have a child
under 18 in your care, your
payment will stop when your
son enters the Army. Your
son’s checks may also stop
when he enters the Army,
depending on when he en
ters and his estimated
earnings for the year. You
should notify your social
security office as soon as you
know the date your son will
enter the Army.
Q. I own a flower shop and
have one part-time em
ployee. He also works as a
full-time employee
elsewhere and his employer
reports his wages for social
security purposes. Must I
also pay social security
contributions on the wages I
pay him?
U.N., Perry
A. Yes. You must pay the
social security contributions
on your employee’s wages. If

However, I have just learned

social security payments for
all months this year since
your earnings will be less
than $1,680.

report your wages and send
in the social security con

worked for 20 or more days
for him during the year for

ISSUES AND ANSWERS
1- ARE YOU FOR FARMERS ?
I grew up on a farm and understand the farmer’s problems. Most of
my friends in the Legislature are from predominantly rural districts
and I will work for the best interests of the independent farmer.
2 - HOW WILL YOU WORK WITH LOCAL
PUBLIC OFFICIALS ?
Straight ahead for the people. In case it escaped you, the Establish
ment no longer dominates local government That’s the way it
should be in a Democracy. I’ll work with all the real people in Perry.
3 - DO WE NEED LAWYERS FOR STATE
REPRESENTATIVES ?
We have 56 now. We need Representatives who squarely face issues,
go to Public Forums and serve the people sacrifically with vigor
based on the people’s needs.
