Vandiver Gives Full
Accounting of Ga. Business
ATLANTA — (GPS) Much in
the same manner as a corpora
tion president reporting to stock
holders, Gov. Ernest Vandiver
has just given via television a
full accounting to Georgians of
the state multimillion - dollar
business during his -first six
months in office.
“My purpose at this time,” he
said over a state-wide TV hook
up originating, from Atlanta, “is
to make an accounting to the
nearly four million Georgia citi-;
zens who each own an equal
share in the operation of that j
gigantic $350 - million -a - year
business known as your state
government.”
Then, step by step, the Gov-1
ernor reviewed the accomplish-1
ments of his administration!
since inauguration day last Jan
uary 13. Here are some of the!
highlights of his six-month re- ■
port:
THE BUDGET: “The principal
challenge presented to the;
Vandiver administration in its
first six months has been how I
to balance the 1958-59 budget for |
the fiscal year just ended: how ;
to provide needed additional |
funds for expansion of most es
sential services in the 1959-60
budget, just beginning — with
out calling the General Assembly ;
into special session to raise'
taxes.
"My friends, that chore has '
taken some doing. I can tell you !:
this—it has required my diligent i
application to the job of gover
nor and director of the budget to
which you elected me. The re
sults of hard work in this area;
have been gratifying to me and
I know to you, the people.
“Through economics applied
day-by-day and hour-by-hour,
through more efficient practices
instituted in every department
and agency, through better pur
chasing methods, through reor-:
ganization in the Revenue De- 1
partment, we wound up the fis
cal year in the black and sl-mil
lion to the good, which was
added to the accumulated oper
ating surplus." (This surplus re-

FORWARD LOOK: “Our task
' J now is to give Georgians a state
' government responsive to their
i needs and one that matches the
। new face of progress which
: graces our landscape from the
icloud-capped mountains to the
rolling surf . . . Great change is
; taking place . . .
“As Georgians, we are deter-

is the objective of the Vandiver

ECONOMY: "You ask: now
! have you gone about the realiza
tion of this objective in the
initial stages of your adminis
tration?' I will answer by saying
; that we have acted in scores of
ways to bring needed reform to
I your state government: reform
that has been long-sought down
J through the years in many in-
I stances but heretofore unreal
iized. First, economy. Sound
I economy. That is our policy.
“You have heard it said over
and over again that the ‘big five’,
functions—education, highways,
welfare, health’ and institutions
—account for some 90 per cent i
of the budget and that it is im- '
possible to make any substan- ;
tial reductions in the operating I
budgets of the other depart
ments.
“Well, we exploded that myth ;
last month in the preparation of
the new budget when we found
it possible to economize in prac- i
tically all of them by making re
ductions of varying amounts in
some 27 departments and
agencies, relatively small when
viewed singularly, but when.
totaled, amounting to nearly;
$3-million in savings.”
Gov. vanaiver cited many,
items bought by various depart- j
ments in which savings, ranging
from nickels and dimes to thou- (

8,000 GUARDSMEN
AT FORT STEWART
HINESVILLE, Ga. — (GPS)
When Gov. Ernest Vandiver
talks to National Guardsmen, as
he did recently on the occasion
of “Governor's Day” at the
Georgia-Florida National Guard
encampment at Fort Stewart, he
speaks their language. He has a
long record in the military or
ganization.
Here are some of the things he
told the 8,000 officers and men
of the 48th Armored Division
(5,000 from Georgia and 3,000
from Florida! who are in train
ing at the sprawling installa
tion :
“I would like to say that your
mission here is vital to the de
fense of our state and nation,
and your service in the capacity
of National Guardsmen is a
valuable contribution to the
preservation of our way of life.
“Having served as your Ad
jutant General in Georgia from
1948 to 1954, I know of the sac
rifices you make in coming to
these encampments. Your dedi
cated service in this time of
world-wide unrest serves as a
warning to our potential ene
mies, and I venture to say that
without the strong reserve and
National Guard forces of our
nation today our voice in inter
national affairs would be dan- i
gerously weaker.
“Most of you are faced with
readjustments as a result of the ;
conversion of the Army Na- 1
tional Guard to the so-called
Pentomic concept of warfare. I
With new designations and the 1
task of girding ourselves for al- ;
most instant combat, the road
ahead is not an easy one.
"Therefore, we must give our !
military assignments a maxi- I

should the day ever arrive, we
might be ready to combat po- j
tential aggressors that are I
poised to sweep down on the!

Gov. Vandiver said he was de
lighted to tell the Guardsmen
that Georgia recently has been
able to obtain several hundred
thousands of dollars in federal
grants for construction of new
facilities for them at Fort Stew
art. (Fort Stewart spreads out
into four Georgia counties—
Liberty. Bryan, Evans and
Long.i Said he:
“More than $650,000 has been
allocated for the construction of
30 new dining halls and four
other buildings. This represents
the first step toward providing-
Guardsmen in this area with
semi-permanent facilities for
use during annual summer en
campments. Already nearing
completion here is a Field
Training Equipment Concen
tration Shop Building which
cost some $250,000.
“Thank you for the privilege
of being here and witnessing
again, for my eleventh consecu
tive year, the massing of the
mighty 48th Division. I wish all
Georgians, and Floridians as
well, could see this impressive
and inspiring sight—the 8,000-

composed of volunteer civilian
soldiers of the National Guard

of the Georgia National Guard.

with the many benefits that will
accrue to a community by de

An actual case history of the
need for planned zoning ordi

and its results are presented in
order to clarify the problem.
The step-by-step analysis of
the industrial development and
how the citizens of a community
can support and assist in de

matically presented by profes
sional actors in combination
with a narrative background.
One film is titled “Gold Mine

“Blueprint For Progress.” Pro

Conway Publications, of At
