Do You Advertise?
Bankers Say You Should
How valuable is local news¬
paper advertising to local busi¬
ness people?
The answer to this (like any
■question) depends on how you
look at it. A harassed shop own¬
er looking at a blank sheet of
paper—trying to write an ad at
4he end of a weary day will sigh,
“Not very.” A local publisher,
looking at the advertising col¬
umns in his paper shouts, “It’s
vital!”
Here’s what the American
Bankers magazine—the voice of a
traditionally hard-headed, con
servrtive profession—has to say
on the subject:
“No business man or woman in
•any town should allow a (local)
newspaper to go to press without
his or her name and business be¬
ing mentioned somewhere in its
columns.
“This does not mean you should
have a whole, half or eveii quar¬
ter page ad in each issue of the
paper—but your name and ad¬
dress should be mentioned if you
do not use more thau a two-hue
space.”

Farm Bureau
Hits Court
The Supreme Court often has
been a target of criticism. Seldom,
however, has it come under such
large-scale condemnation as at
present.
This week another nationally rep¬
resentative and nationally power¬
ful organization joined in the cry
against the trend of the high court’s
rulings in recent years.
The American Farm Bureau Fed¬
eration accused the" court of invad¬
ing the legislative field and'called
Congress to put the tribunal in its^
place.
The Farm Bureau’s attack on
the court is significant in that it is
furthur evidenc that the anticourt
chorus is not confined to the South.
The bureau is comprised of mem¬
bers from ail over the country.
It is also important to note that
the Farm Bureau’s resolution took
a slap at the executive and legisla¬
tive branches, charging these wings
of the government had not shown
sufficient backbone in the face of
the court.
Late last summer th& Conference
of State Chief Justices made the
most devastating attack on the
court to date. It blasted the court
for assuming an unrestrained poli¬
cy making role and usurping the
rights of the states.
The chief justices’ resolution had
the quality of judicial authority.
The Farm Bureau resolution gives
grass-roots approval to this feeling.
The will of the people can. be ig¬
nored for so long. But eventually it
will prevail. Either the Supreme
Court will modify its course, or
Congress will bring about the ne¬
cessary changes.

If yon read the book properly, it seems
to say the present inflation spiral will
continue throughout 1959 and I960—with
prices of commodities and common stocks
benefit ing. Then, in 1961, the mntual
investment funds will be more interested
in selling than buying.
Well, if investment funds sell, it meens
investors want to get out. Investors
usually do what smart money does, hut
many months later. That means there’ll
be an economic downtur n, and severe,

Commission Ready For
Woodruff’s
Rivers Project
An. 11-man commission appointed
by President Georgian Eisenhower is about and head- take: j
ed by a to
a long, close look at four Georgia
rivers with an eye " toward putting I
them to work.
James W. Woodruff Jr., Colum
bus businessman who has for years
been active in river resources de
velopment, wil head the commis
sion. It will have on it representa- j
tives from six federal agencies. j
Another member is Lester S. :
Moody of Augusta, exeeutive-secre
tary of the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce and an active worker in
Savannah River development. ;
"Considering the quality of its
membership, this commission
should do a great service,” said
Maj. Gen. Frank M. Albrecht of At
lanta. He is head of the U.S. Corps
of Engineers here and one of the
federal members of the commis
sion.
The commission by a bill intro-:
duced in the Senate by Sen. Richard
B. Russell. It will start its work
with a $50,000 appropriation and
authority to look into -all phases of
“Water and land use” in the basins
of the Savannah, Altahama, Saint
Marys, Apalachicola - Chattahoo
chee and Alabama's Perdido-Es
cambia river basins. The four Geor
gia river basins represent the ma¬
jor rivers in the state.
Twelve items the commission was
defected to consider include flood
control, domestic water supply,
navigation, reclamation and irriga¬
tion, hydroelectric power, soil con
servation, forest conservation, fish j
and wildlife, recreation, salinity [
and sediment control, pollution a
batement and “other pertinent
itmes. decide! |
It also is instructed to
the rivers, best and ways of utilizing plan for . the'se J
prepare a pro¬ I
gressive development of the areas.
The report will be submitted to the
President.
“This commission is a new way ■ j
of coordinating river basin studies'
which n the past have been done
by independent eordination between i !
various federal and state agen
cies,” Gen. Albrecht explained.
The commission probably will
concentrate on navigation, hydro¬
electric power has kept pace pretty
well with its industrial growth and
demand for power,” Gen Albrecht
explained. “Our big dams and large '■
reservoirs have made playgrounds
that were visited by 7,500,000 peo
Navigation, long a dream of At
lantians, is another costly item
which will be studied by the com¬
mission. A nine-foot channel as far
up as Columbus, is costing 190 mil¬
lion dollars. Bringing the same
channel up to Atlanta would be
even more expensive since the land
rises steeply above the fall line.

Hills Still Got
Geld In’Em
By Frank Wells
One of the most beautiful sights
to see around the State Capitol is
the display of rocks in the Depart
ment of Geology and Mining in the
Agriculture Building.
Capt. Garland Peyton, head of
the department, has spent many
years collecting the rocks, and has
them from all over the world and
from nearly every corner in Geor
gla- Sometime go take a look, and
while you're there, get Capt. Pey
ton to talking about Georgia gold
mining.
“I don’t believe our mines ever
went deep enough to get at the real
mother lode of gold,” Capt, Peyton
said. "Our deepest mines were
something like 300 feet below the
surface. Why, in South Africa there
are gold mines that go down to 12,
000 feet. It's so hot down there they
can only work a few minutes at a
time.
Capt. Peyton likened the possible
deposit of Georgia gold to a tree
under ground. “Now, I believe that
we have just touched the tips of
the branches and that the main
limbs and the trunk are still down
there to be dug out.”
Tile mining expert said that very
bttle of Georgia’s gold was found
m streams, so there is little possi
bility of its having been lost by ero¬
sion through the millions of years
since the formation of Georgia”s
mountains.
Incidentally, the Appalachian
chain of mountains, including Geor¬
gia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, is one
'b° oldest mountain ranges in the
world. It compares in age with the
