GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS Summerville, Georgia, Sept. 23, 1948 Hon. C. H. Porter, Judge of Rome Judicial Circuit. As citizens of Chattooga County we have been named as members of the Grand Jury for the September 1948 term of Chattooga Superior Court, and on the day of our convening we were informed by Your Honor as to our duties as Grand Jurors. Acting upon the advice and instruc tions given us by Your Honor, we have within the short time granted to us in vestigated each and every case brought to our attention. We fully believe that we have the grandest government in the world, yet we realize that there are defects which might be corrected. We, as an investigating body, are limited in time in reviewing the affairs of our county and of our Through our different committees we have inspected the different branches of our local government and attach our re ports to these presentments, these reports being a part of our presentments and our recommendations. Os the cares and responsibilities which are ours, we have listed below some of the items which are of greatest importance, as follows: FIRST —Those who are inmates of our county home; There are no inmates in the present home who are there by choice. There is an erroneous idea that every man who is poor is responsible for his own misfor tune. No man wills for himself and his family, hospital bills, misfortune piled upon misfortune, yet they are not the ■Masters of their own destiny.” Con trary to the common views and accepta tions of man. SECOND —The education and protec tion of the youth: There is nothing born into this world that is as helpless and as dependent as a child. Until they are self-sustaining they are dependent upon their parents for food, raiment, shelter and education. We believe that the environments of every child should be as pure as it is possible, for the child of today will be the citi zen of the early tomorrow. Better than we can express it, some one has said, ‘The child is but the hand of God re cording on the pages of time the history of the human race.” THIRD —The safety of our public high ways: Not only within our own county, but from reports of which we hear over the radio and read in the newspapers, human life has no consideration. We are no longer shocked when prostrate forms are brought to our hospitals and to our mor gues as the victims of the reckless or Old Man Winter Coming, Be Prepared Let us overhaul your motor with Genuine Ford parts.

Without exception, the party who is responsible for the maim ing, or death of one or more human be ings expresses his regret at his reckless i drivings, yet his regret does not pay * burial expenses, restore to life those who i have been wiped out, or pay the hospital • expenses of those who by the kindness of 1 a Merciful Providence are permitted to 1 survive. REPORTS. In our reports of our different insti- * tutions, we have been most fortunate in - receiving the hearty co-operation of those t from whom we have sought sufficient data from which we might prepare our re » ports; i The report of the County School Super t intendent is hereby attached, and in ad r dition to the information contained ; therein he advises that the present school • building program has been made pos sible by the issuance and sale of bonds j of our county totaling $260,000.00, bearing f 3% interest and which were sold at a - premium of 1%, or $2,600.00 in addition > to the face of the bonds. In order to ■ make ourselves plain, these $260,000.00 of bonds brought $262,000.00. These bonds i are to be retired over a period of 20 years, * retiring $13,000.00 of these bonds each , year. We have been favored with a report of r the County Welfare Administrator, at tached hereto as a part of our report. t In addition to the report hereto at -5 tached, we are advised by our Welfare Ad -5 ministrator that she has served the num- - ber of cases listed below and she also at- > taches the amount allotted and paid to 1 the different classifications: ? Old Age, Number of Cases 499. Amount Paid Out During Last 12 Months. $lO4.- - 581.50. Aid to Dependent Children. Number of - i Cases 55.

Total Number of Cases, 567. Attached hereto is the report of J. A. Scoggins, Tax Collector of Chattooga County, Georgia, showing the amount of taxable property on the Tax Digest of the > county to be $5,988,665.00. The Tax Auth l orities of our state claims that any and all > counties, whose tax digest is less than ■ $3,000,000.00 are not self-sustaining, hence, i are a parasite on the body politic. We ■ ! beg to advise that our county is self-sus- taining and pays in to the State Treas ury more than we receive from the State. Mr. F. A. Justice, Chairman of Board of Roads and Revenues appeared before our body and assured us that our recom mendations would receive every considera tion that it is possible to give them con cerning the things pertaining to the county over which the Board of Roads and Revenue has any consideration. He further stated that his board would at a very early date provide toilets outside of the court house for colored men and white men. Mr. Justice further stated that it is the intention of the Board of Roads and Revenue to build the proposed toilets out of stone or brick and have them entirely separate from the courthouse building. We also had assurance from him that the porch of jail residence will be altered and repaired. RECOMMENDATIONS. We recommend that Mr. J. E. Baker bo appointed Notary Public and ex-officio Justice of Peace for Summerville District No. 925 G. M. The term of Mr. A. E. Strange having expired. We recom/nend that the per diem pay of the jurors and bailiffs for Chattooga County for the year 1949 be $6.00 per day the same as now paid. It is indeed appalling the large number of teen age boys, who have and are daily acquiring a criminal record, who by the press and by the courts are given the title of ‘Juvenile Delinquents.” In order to discourage juvenile delinquency, we rec ommend that every incorporated town in our county pass a CURFEW LAW, ifxing the age of those subject to this law as all children under 16 years of age, and forbid them from being on the streets of the incorporated town at later than 9:00 p.m. unless accompanied by their parents. It is nard to distinguish between games of amusements that are free from gam- I bling features. In many instances carni vals and small shows put on games where probably a mild form of gambling is in dulged. We recommend to the law en forcement officers that a strict attention be given to all shows, or amusements, whereby any gambling may be carried on. We recommend that the Clerk of this ! Grand Jury be paid $12.00 extra pay for : assembling, preparing and typing these 1 presentments. We recommend that The Summerville : News publish these presentments in one ; issue of their paper and that the usual 1 fee be paid for same. CONCLUSION: Our present jail has been erected 50 years next year. It is of course out of date and can not be kept as sanitary as a new building could be kept. Our present courthouse has been erected 40 years next spring. It is also impos sible to properly heat this building and also it is next to impossible to keep it clean. We appreciate every act of kindness which has been shown us by the dif ferent court officials and by the public. We thank Your Honor for the able and j inspiring charge delivered to this body on the day of our convening. We thank our able and conscientious Solicitor General, Mr. E. J. Clower, for his patience in dealing with us and also we thank him for his advice which he has given us at all times. We thank our accommodating bailiff, Mr. C. P. Hamilton, for granting our ev ery wish. JAMES HAMMOND, Foreman ALBERT HINTON LOGAN, Clerk CHATTOOGA COUNTY DEPARTMENT, PUBLIC WELFARE We, the Chattooga County Department of Public Welfare, wish to submti this re port iff our activities covering our fiscal year. July 1. 1947, to June 30, 1948. On July 1, 1947 we had thirty-four pend- I ing applications for Old Age Assistance. One hundred twenty-three were added to i tms number during the year making a I total of one hundred fifty-seven. Os these i one hundred thirty-four were approved, | nineteen rejected and four disposed of for other r ..sons, bringing our number of Old A'_,e recipients as of June 30, 1948, up to iour hundred ninety-eight with grants amounting to $11,794.00. the beginning of the year, we did not have any pending Blind applications. One was taken and approved bringing our Blind Recipients as of June 30, 1948 to 13 with grants amounting to $360.00. As of July 1. 1947, there were pending five A. D. C. cases including eight chil dren. Thirty-four were added during the year making a total of thirty-nine fami lies with a total of one hundred fourteen children. Os these, thirty-one families with ninety children were approved, two with seven children rejected and six with seventeen children disposed of for other reasons bringing our number of A. .D C. recipients as of June 30, 1948 up to fifty four with grants amounting to $2,072.50. Five per cent of above grants are tak en care of by the County, Forty-five per cent by the State and Fifty per cent by the Federal Government. All cases are reviewed and eligibility requirements re-established at least once per year. Cases are closed when it found they no longer meet eligibility require ments. Other programs which come under the direct supervision of this Department are: (1) Cripple Children s Program for the purpose of equipping physically handi capped children under 21 years of age. We have referred seven children this year. (21 Child Welfare Program which offers specialized service to children and their families needing help. We have had numerous occasions to offer help and suggestions and have done as much of this kind of work as we possibly could find time to do. A great many counties have a trained child welfare worker who devotes her full time to this type of work and we feel Chattooga County would profit by one. (3) Vocational Rehabilitation. The ob jective of this Department is to rehabili tate handicapped individuals. We have made five referrals to this program dur ing the past year. (4) State Department of Health. This program consists of cancer clinics, j pneumo-thorex refills and X-rays for T.B. We have referred seven to cancer clinics and made investigations for the State for numerous Pneumo-Thorex refills. io) Admissions to and from State Insti tutions. This Department makes inves tigations and social histories for the Georgia Training School for boys and girls on all sent from this County. We also fill m a questionnaire sent us from Milledgeville State Hospital on every per son committed from this County. (6t O. T. I.’s This term refers to out of town inquiries. This is an exchange of information between agencies and in terstate individuals. We have made fifty eight investigations and reports this year. I RECOMMENDATIONS: The Chattooga County Welfare Board wishes to make the following recommen dations: (1) That this Department have three mills levied for it and be given the full benefit of it. If there is any left over ■ from our Special Assistance Program, it is badly needed to care for emergency cases that do not come under the Special Assistance Program. (2) That the Chattooga County Welfare | Department be given a permanent office. The Federal Government will now pay ■ half of the rent, office equipment, heat ing, janitor services, etc. All records are | of a confidential nature and should not : be exposed at any time. It also works a I hardship on the personnel and their clients to move whenever the County sees I fit to use the office for other services. : (3) That a child welfare worker be se- I cured as soon as funds can be made available, as there is certainly enough of this kind of services requested and needed ’ for a full time worker. | T4* That additional office equipment is needed and should be bought. ' This Department is ambitious to go for- I ; ward with a more complete and efficient program. We know we have a great re sponsibility, one in which every citizen should be interested. We feel this can I' only be obtained by a complete under standing and co-operation between the Welfare Board, Board of Commissioners . and citizens of Chattooga County. j In conclusion, we wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the | Chattooga County Welfare Board members . for their splendid services to their county. I They do not receive any compensation for their services to their county. We wish to thank our County Commissioners for : their sincere co-operation. We also wish Ito express our appreciation of the new Health Department which they have suc ceeded in establishing. It is a Depart ment we have seen a growing need for and | will be glad to co-operate with in any we can. I To the newspapers of our county, we wish to thank for their co-operation. All I articles published for our Department have been free of charge. To the citizens of Chattooga County, ► we wish to express our gratitude for your i HE SUMMERVILLE NEWS splendid co-operation and sympathetic un derstanding. Respectfully submitted, MRS. M. M.
