4 State of Region 9
Excellent, Says Street
The “state of the region” is
not only excellent—it could
prove spectacular in coming
months.
So says Bernard Street, state
news editor of The Rome News-
Tribune, in an article in The
Coosa Valley Lighthouse, pub
lished by the Coosa Valley
Area Planning and Development
Commission. The “region” to
which he refers is Northwest
Georgia.
Mr. Street made his observa
tion after a resume of the views
of economists, bankers, indus
trial development leaders, tech
nical planners, and studying
government reports of sales, in
come and savings and banking
activity.
“The state of the region
(Northwest Georgia) is not only
excellent — if present trends
continue, the economic growth
of the Coosa Valley could prove
spectacular in coming months,”
said Mr. Street.
He went on to list some of the
recent industrial developments
in the region, including the pro
posed expansion of Best Mfg.

Youth Department Would
Stem Youth Problems—Gov.
Noting that about five percent of Georgia’s juvenile
population—about 75,000 children—are “troubled” a youth
study committee, headed by Rep. James Mackay, has rec
ommended that the 1963 General Assembly create a De
partment of Youth and Children to help fight delinquency
and youthful crime.
The committee, formed by the
General Assembly in 1962, point
ed out that thousands of youth
ful lives, as well as thousands of
tax dollars, go down the drain
each year in Georgia. The chief
reason for the loss is that the
| state has no effective machinery
for dealing with the problems
that lead an alarming number
of young Georgians into lives of
crime, depepdpppy, and emotion
al disorders’.
In six months of study and
hearing testimony from edu
cators, judges and parents’
groups, the committee found
Corp., and Georgia Glove Co. in
Chattooga County.
15
that:
1. The juvenile population of
the state will increase rapidly
during the next few years, due
in large part to the “baby
boom” of 1947 and 1948.
2. County services for malad
justed children are inadequate
in urban counties and negligible
or completely non - existant in
rural counties.
3. Although state - maintained
institutions for children and
youths have steadily increased
their capacities, all are still over
crowded.
4. As many as 5,000 Georgia
children find their way into
common jails each year because
only six counties have special
juvenile detention facilities.
5. Georgia has one of the
highest “school drop out” rates
in the United States.
6. There has been a con
spicious absence of communica
tion and cooperation among the
principal agencies responsible for
serving children at both the
state and county level.
7. No specific state agency has
assumed leadership in the field
of developing children’s services.
8. There has been no official
citizens’ group informed and pre
pared to interpret to the public
the needs of “troubled children.”
9. There has been a persistent
shortage of trained personnel.
To combat these deficiencies,
the committee has recommended
to the legislature that it enact
the necessary laws to create the
new department for Children
and Youth and has urged that
immediate steps be taken to pro
vide increased local guidance and
detention facilities.
The committee pointed out
that an increased and coordinat
ed state program for aid to
“troubled children” will save the
state large sums each year, to
say nothing of the saving of
millions of dollars in human po
tential.
Every time we prevent a child
from being sent to a training
school, we save $2,500 per year
Every additional prison cell
costs us $8,500.
Each citizen who is self-sus
taining saves us the cost of re
lief. Add to this the value of his
production and the taxes he
pays, and it is obvious that re
habilitation is a good invest
ment, the committee says in its
report.
The committee estimates that
It will require only about $150,000
of state funds to begin the work
of the recommended department.
The report concludes that ac
tivities concerned with the re
habilitation of children and
youth until now have been as
sumed as minor duties of several
state departments and agencies.
It is imperative, the committee
members say, to make this work
the sole or major part of the ac
tivities of a new department.
Committee chairman Mackay
said the report would be pre
sented to the General Assembly
when it convenes in January.
DIRTY BIRD
| A man finally bought a par
!rot at an auction after some
spirited bidding. "I hope the
bird talks,” the buyer said to
the auctioneer.
“Talk? asked the auctioneer.
/‘He’s been bidding against you

Methodist
Expansion
Dav Set
Chattooga Methodists will
have a one-day offering on
March 3 for ten “Expansion
Day” causes.
This year’s offering will mark
the 11th time Expansion Day
has been observed in Georgia.
Since 1953. Methodists in the
North and South Georgia Con
ferences have contributed $2.-
712,601 to special causes of the
church’s work. Most causes
benefited by the offering in the
last ten years received their sole
support from Expansion Day.

Decade Begins . . . Not to Be
Served. But to Serve.”
Each church is asked to give
one dollar for each member it'
has on role.
North Georgia’s offering will
be distributed to the following
agencies: New church enter
prises, $52,000: schools and col
leges, $45,000; Wesley Founda
tions, $32,000; assemblies and
campgrounds, $20,500; Paine

and loans, $4,500; Methodist In
formation, $2,700; One Great
Hour of Sharing, $7,000; Golden

Can Take
Tax Refund
In Bonds
Taxpayers were reminded to
day of the new plan allowing
them to take their tax refunds
in United States Savings Bonds,
by A. C. Ross, District Director
of the Internal Revenue Service.
Beginning with the 1962 In
dividual Income Tax Return,
eligible taxpayers will be given
the opportunity of taking their
refunds in Series E. Savings
Bonds, in addition to the stand
ard options of each or applying
the refund to next year's tax.
When Savings Bonds are
chosen, the smallest possible
number of the highest denomi
nation bonds will be issued,
along with a check to cover any
remaining balance of a dollar or
more.
The idea of allowing a tax
payer to choose between Savings
Bonds and a check is not new.
Taxpayers have been recom
mending it for years. What en
abled the Treasury to offer it
with the 1962 returns was the
recent installation of high-I
speed data processing equip
ment to handle tax returns. The
Treasury also conducted a sur
vey of taxpayers to determine
their interest in a Savings
Bonds refund. A significant
number of those questioned said
they would take their tax re
funds in Series E Bonds if given
the option.

their driver licenses revoked or j
suspended during 1962, accord-'
Ing to a Georgia Department of j
Public Safety report released by'
Col. H. Lowell Conner, director.
This was an increase of 456 over

tions, 11,968 were tor driving
under the influence of intoxi
cants, 293 for leaving the scene
of an accident, 113 for trans
porting whiskey or contraband,
55 for hit-and-run accidents
and 23 for other offenses.
Os the 20,137 suspensions,
speeding led all other violations

Persistent violators, 2,943; fol- :
lowing too close to another ve- '
hide, 1,654; stop sign or red
light violations, 1,446; failure to
yield right-of-way, 1,352; driv-i
ing while license was revoked,
suspended or cancelled, 873;
reckless driving, 516, and driving
on wrong side of road, 471.
Os the suspensions, 10,468
came under Georgia's safety re
sponsibility law which is ad
i ministered by the State Depart
ment of Public Safety. Among'
' these 926 were non-residents of I
Georgia.

troopers made 133,741 arrests tor
