MISS HOLLAND HONORED

tory.
In 1961, Miss Holland received
an outstanding performance rat
ing. This is an honor which only
a small percentage of govern
ment employees receive. It also
carried a cash award which
helped pay for some of the tra
vel. Miss Holland reported she
has as much difficulty saving up
leave for her trips as she does
money.
She has three sisters who re
side in Chattooga County. They
are Mrs. Mark Strawn of Hol
land, and Mrs. George Hubler
and Mrs. Willard Jackson, both
of Lyerly. Mrs. Jackson was em
ployed by the FBI from Febru
ary, 1943, to July, 1947.
Miss Holland still owns prop
erty in Chattooga County, in
cluding one of the few houses
not destroyed by General Sher
man’s Army when it passed
through the area almost 100
years ago. The house, built in
1838, is located about three miles
from Holland. Alexander H.
Stephens, vice president of the
Confederacy, was a frequent vis
itor there prior to and during
the Civil War. Sherman report
edly camped at Chattoogaville
during his march toward Atlan
ta and allegedly had his band
play a concert in front of the
house now owned by Miss Hol
land.
Holland is named for Miss
Holland’s grandfather, Charles
I. Holland, who was one of the
early settlers in the area after
the Civil War. Both her grand
fathers served with the South in
the war.
Miss Holland explains that she
has seen many of the most
famed sights in the world and
enjoyed them all, but none sur
pass the natural beauty of Kin
caid Mountain which her home
faces in Northwest Georgia.
to housing Mr. Dalton’s office, the build
ing also housed McArthur’s Garage and
Dean’s Paint and Body Shop. Two auto
mobiles, one in each place, were lost.
The barn, one of downtown Summer
ville’s oldest buildings, was once the
barn of Dr. Jack Bryant and a pasture
surrounded it.

Truck problems X'

How do Mv-’ /5
you figure
that? ( \

Well, it's this way. Sis.
You're a Georgian and we hope you're going to
stay a Georgian. Everything which helps Georgia,
now and in your portion of the future, helps you.
Right? On the other hand, what holds back Georgia
holds you back, too.
Now then . . . you know that trucks have become
mighty important in the job of moving stuff from one
place to another —the stuff your Daddy helps to
manufacture, the stuff your country cousin's Daddy
grows—and weapons for our defense, too, along with
a lot of other important stuff like baby food and dia
pers. You're a little young to absorb a lot of stuffy
statistics, but just notice the number of trucks on any
road, running day and night, increasing in numbers
all the time, trying to keep up with Georgia's hauling
needs.
Still with us?
Okay... now we get to the meat of the coconut.
It stands to reason that things which make it more
expensive for these Georgia truckers to serve your
Daddy and your Uncle are going to end up raising
the selling price of the things they make and grow.
Competition being what it is, that means they'll sell
less, and you and your country cousin may not get as
many of the nicer things of life as you would other
wise.
So what's running up the cost? Well, taxes, for one
thing. The trucker's taxes have gone up 80 per cent
since 1950! It now costs more than $3,000 a year in
highway use taxes to run one tractor-trailer unit in
Georgia!

Another big cost item is the difference in tax laws
and other truck regulations among the states which
make the trucker do a mountain of paper work and
record-keeping.
These are problems, though, which hamper truckers
all over the country, more or less equally. What you're
mainly concerned with are those which hold back the
Georgia trucker (and you) as opposed to truckers in
other states.
The main thing in this category is that the other
states have modernized their truck weight and size
laws, to take advantage of improved equipment ca
pable of handling more cargo, while Georgia hasn't.
Georgia limits its trucks to smaller sizes and lower
weights than any other state except Tennesseel
Naturally, the trucks in other states can serve their
manufacturers and farmers more efficiently than
Georgia trucks can serve ours. That means a cost
advantage for your Daddy's and Uncle's competitors
in other states. It also means that when an indus
trialist is looking around for a place to build a plant,
he won't choose Georgia unless he can find something
to offset the disadvantage under which Georgia
trucks will have to serve him.
uQTOp
W In short, this situation holds
down the economic growth
co of your state, Sis. It dims
ETHmi 4XI your present and your
I future as a Georgian.
eZjIRp Yep, even at your tender
w age, truck problems are
your problems, Honey.
