Employment Continues
Downward Trend in Ga.
Non- agricultural employment
in Georgia, estimated at 720,200,
continued to decline in April for
the fourth consecutive month
with a loss of almost 6,000 people
since March The greatest losses
occurred in the textile and lum
ber industiries. Total employ
ment was 17,600 less than in
April 1948. Comparatively small
gains in food processing, manu
facturing transportation equip
ment, trade, and government
partially offset the substantial
losses in construction, lumber,
machinery (except electrical),
textiles, apparel, chemicals and
service. For the second month,
textiles showed a loss of more
than 10% as compared with the
corresponding period a year ago.
Non-durable goods, which has
shown a downward trend since
August reflected a loss of over
3,400 workers in April. The prin
cipal loss occurred in the textile
industry, with many plants con
tinuing to decrease the number
of shifts and lay off workers
due to lack of orders. This in
dustry has been declining stead
ily since' last August.
Seasonal factors influenced
the loss of 600 workers in chem
icals and allied products prin
cipally at vegetable oil mills. The
gain of almost 1,400 workers in
food processing was due largely
to increased seasonal produc
tion in the canning and preserv
ing segment of the industry.
Durable goods manufacturing
employed 80 0 fewer workers
than in March. The loss shown
by the lumber industry due to
lack of orders and bad weather
was partially offset by an in
crease of 500 workers in the man
ufacture of transportation
equipment.
Construction employment
showed a loss of about 700
workers with many firms report
ing reduction in force due to
completion of contracts and the
work of many others being held
up due to rainy weather.
The transportation, communi*-
cation and public utilities divis
ion made a slight gain with no
particular phase predominant.
This division employed almost
1,600 fewer workers than in
April last year. The transporta
tion group accounted for the
prihcipal loss in this division.
Establishments in wholesale
and retail trade laid off 800
workers in April despite an in
crease of 1,400 temporary em
ployees hired by retail apparel
stores to care for the Easter
trade. The general level of em
ployment in the trades division
was 2,500 higher than April last
year.
Finance, insurance and real
estate remained practically un
changed with the level of em
ployment almost 5% higher than
last year.
Government employment
showed no significant . change
from last month and continued
to operate at a level of 4,700
more persons than for the cor
responding period in 1948.
This analysis does not cover
agricultural pursuits and does
not take into consideration the
normal seasonal gains which oc
cur in farming activities.

Bnmmrrmllr Naus
Extra Session
Os Legislature
Looms for July
Governor Herman Talmadge
has indicated that he will call a
special session of the State Leg
islature to cope with Georgia’s
grave fiscal crisis. In a state
ment issued last week for pub
lication the Governor said that
the Tax Revision Committee
would report to him on July 11
the results of their study to date,
outlining in specific detail what
economies, if any, can be effect
uated which might result in ob
taining necessary funds to fi
nance all or part of the most
critical needs of the state.
The Governor said: ‘‘Subse
quent to this report by the Tax
Revision Committee, I shall take
such action as may be necessary
to meet and overcome the grave
fiscal crisis which now confronts
our State government in the
fields of Education, Public Wel
fare assistance, Health, and rur
al Highways.”
Capitol observers expect the
extra session of the Assembly
will be called for the last week
in July.
The Governors statement read
in part as follows: “Conditions
have developed in the State
where I believe it is absolutely
essential that some immediate
action be taken to relieve some
of the pressing situations which
are, in my opinoin. absolutely
essential for the welfare of the
people of the State.
“There is an immediate need
for a 10% increase in teachers’
salaries prior to the opening of
schools the next school year,
which will require $3,600,000.00
additional funds.
“There is an immediate need
for additional funds to be sent
to various county schools of this
state for the purpose of financ
ing the opening of the schols
this next year as a great majority
of the counties are not financ
ially able to carry on the work
required, and in a great number
of counties the cost of trans
portation far exceeds the actual
local taxes collected, and it is
proposed that an additional
$5,000,000 equalization fund be
provided for distribution to the
counties.
“At the Battey State Hospital,
which is for treatment for tu
bercolosis, there is space for
1,000 additional beds, and I have
been informed by the doctors of
the Health Department that tu
bercolosis could be put under
control if this institution is op
erated at full capacity for seven
to ten years. It will require an
additional $1,000,000.00 to carry
on this program.
“The old-age pension pay
ments being presently made in
the state is far from the amount
required to give the old-age pen
sioners a bare existence, and it
is my opinion that it is time
for the state to either do the nec
essary job, or admit to the old
people that the state is not in
any way interested in their
plight.
. “It will require $3,500,000.00
state funds, which will be
•matched by $7,000,000 Federal
funds, in order to meet the cur
rent pressing needs of the Wel
fare Department.
“It has developed, as every
one knows, that the roads in
Georgia, principally the rural
roads, are badly In need of im
provement, and It Is my opinion
that it is absolutely essential that
at least $5,000,000.00 be provided
to carry on tjiis work.
“The Milledgeville State Hos
pital- situation warrants Immedi
ate attention, and I do not be
lieve that the citizens of Geor
gia would begrudge an addition
al $500,000.00 being provided for
the maintenance of medical care
of the people who are patients
in the hospital.
"Last, but by no means least,'
there Is immediate need of an ■
additional $1,000,000.00 for the
University System of Georgia to
curry on their program of edu
cation, and an amount of $400,-
000.00 for teacher retirement
funds to match the Increase In
salary payments.
"The above program, whclh
constitutes emergencies and are
immediately needed, total $20,-
000.000 00."

SUPERVISOR CITES
FARMERS FOR WORK
IN REPAYING LOANS
Looking back of the 11 years
of Farmers Home Administra
tion operation, S. L. VanLand
ingham, FHA loan supervisor,
said this week that 1,500 of the
5,600 farm families in the state
who have received help ’in the
purchase of farms have already
repaid in full the loans they
were given 40 years to pay.
“And,” VanLandingham said,
“they have not made their fine
records at the expense of the
land they cultivate. Along with
the repayment of their loans,
they have maintained their
buildings, improved their pas
' tures, adopted better livestock
; breeding programs and prepared
themselves to remain farm own
ers in the future.”
Davis D. Slappey, who is in
charge o f production loans,
states that since its inception,
• the Farmers Home Administra
( tion has served approximately
, 61,000 farmers, or about 27 per
cent of all farmers in the state,
, through loans and technical
[ guidance. Production loans are
made for such things as ma
terials and equipment.
► In addition to the farm own
[ ership loans and farm operating
l or production loans, the FHA
’ makes a third type of loan, the
insured mortgage loan. This is
; made to applicants who can pay
■ at least 10 percent of the total
. investment in tlhe purchase of
« a farm or who have a 10 percent
equity on the farm to be de
veloped or enlarged. The re
maining 90 percent is loaned by
private capital sources and the
government insures the loans
against loss. Os 5,775 applica
tions for these loans now on
hand, more than 2,900 are from
veterans.
More than 100 farm families
whose records in repaying FHA
loans are outstanding will be
honored next week, July 14, at
' “FHA Farm Family Achievement
Day” on the campus of the col
lege of Agriculture, in Athens.
Among the guests will be 34
families who have repaid their
forty-year loans in from five to
10 years.

Summer Plenliiuls
In Canning Program
Having learned to make and
follow long-range food preserva
tion plans, a large number of
Chattooga’s 4-H club girls are
working now to provide a plenti
ful supply of fruits, vegetables
and meats for family meals this
winter. These girls are enrolled
in the national 4-H club canning
program, and, according to local
4-H leaders, are doing a lot to
top their 1948 output of food.
In addition to providing
healthful dishes for family
meals, the girls help cut food
costs considerably because most
of the things they can are raised
lat home. Their planning assures
a wide variety of foods at a time
। when many meals are low in
I nutritive value and appetite ap-
I peal.
Awards for acnievement in the
canning program are provided
by the Savannah Sugar Refinery
Corporation and the Kerr Glass

'Truth' Best Weapon
Against Syphilis
VD Officer States
“We must fight syphilis with
truth.” This statement was
made recently by Dr. C. D. Bow
! doin, state VD control officer,
■ as he announced a state-wide
' public information campaign
( to be conducted in Georgia
during the months of July and
’ August. ,
i Dr. Bowdoin stated that ig- ■
’ | norance is the greatest handi
cap of finding hidden cases of
' I syphilis.
“Treatment of syphilis is no
■ । longer our greatest problem,”
'' Dr. Bowdoin continued. “Prior
1 : to 1943, treatment with arseni
■ * cals took a minimfum of eighteen
1 j months. Now, patients with early
>! syphilis may be treated with
‘ | penicillin in as few as six days.”
1 , Dr. Bowdoin quoted Surgeon-
JGeneral Leonard S. Scheele as;
stating that newspapers, radio.
) i and magazines of the country I
I could eliminate syphilis in a
’ matter of months if they united i
> in such an effort.
A total of 40,000 persons in

/ syphilis and have been referred;
• to treatment as a result of coun

i paigns in 25 counties, the VD
I control officer stated. “News
papers and radio stations were
largely responsible for, persuad
ing over a half-million Geor
gians to volunteer for a blood
test during these mass-testing
drives,” Dr. Bowdoin pointed
out.
More than seventy thousand
persons have been treated for
