In Ga. House
County Expected
To Retain Seat
Chattooga County is expected to retain a seat in
the Georgia House of Representatives, no matter hew
the House is re-apportioned.
So believe both Rep. James H. Floyd and Sen.
Joseph E. Loggins.
Both men voiced this
opinion as they readied for
the opening of the Georgia
General Assembly Monday in
Atlanta.
Re - apportionment — or
dered last year by the fed
eral courts—is expected to be
the main item of business at
the forthcoming session.
Sen Loggins said on the
subject:
"I think it is a foregone
conclusion, from every
standpoint, from every plan
mentioned, that this county
will retain one representa
tive . . . Chattooga is in the
ideal population bracket to
retain one and unless we
drastically reduce the num
ber in the house, this county
will not lose. We must re
member that until relatively

recently we had two repre
sentatives and now we are
just barely below (the re
quirements for) having two.”
Rep. Floyd said:
“I am of the opinion that
we will probably come up
with a 205-member house as
now, in which case Chat
tooga could expect to keep a
seat. If we should reduce the
number to under 183 men,
however, we would not. I
still feel each county should
have a seat. But taking the
court’s decision, we can’t do
that. So we should act now
to reapportion ourselves. If
we don’t, the federal courts
will.”
Loggins said he believes
Walker and Dade Counties
may have to share in the
selection of three represent
atives. As it is now, Dade has
one and Walker has two. The
Trionite is the state senator
for the 53rd Senatorial Dis

Money Twins Again Get
First Chattooga Auto Tags
They did it again!
The Money twins, Jerry and Terry, for the fourth
consecutive year got the first auto tag issued in Chat
tooga County.
The two high school seniors began their vigil about
8:30 p. m. Thursday and were on hand when the tax col
lector’s office opened at 8 a. m.
The young men took turns sitting at the door
throughout the night so no one would get ahead of them.
While one was at the door the other would warm up
inside the courthouse hallway (graciously opened by
Janitor Roosevelt Young for their convenience).
Skipper Stewart, a high school friend, joined them about
midnight.
About 200 tags were sold that first day and a total
of 715 had been sold by noon Wednesday. There were
about 10,000 to be issued between Jan. 1 and March 31,
the deadline.

MATTER OF MERGER
GETS FULL AIRING
The acceptance of a $136,-
738 state grant and the
subsequent consolidation of
Welmyer and Holland
schools were thoroughly
aired by the Chattooga
Board of Education Tuesday
afternoon before a decision
was made.
Those questioning the
feasibility of the merger
were Mr. Strickland and Mr.
Jackson. Mr. Jackson asked
what it would save; sug
gested that four of the class
rooms be put at the new
Chattooga High; said he felt
Lyerly needed new class
rooms; suggested the deci
sion be put off another
month; and questioned why
the matter had at that time
come up. Mr. Strickland
asked how old the Welmyer
School is; said some students
going to Pennville should be
going to Welmyer; said he’d
like to see Pennville grow
“but don’t want to cut some
body else’s throat” to do it;
said he’d like to put the
matter before the Welmyer
people before he’d know
what to do, but added that
he felt he knew already that
the people there wanted to
keep their school; said he
was “for the county” but
wanted to satisfy his people
too.
Those favoring the accept
ance of the grant said the
state is “putting the squeeze”
on small schools; noted the
state has cut out the prin
cipals’ state supplement for
schools having less than
seven teachers; said the
state is expected to even
tually refuse to accredit
small schools and money for
new construction at bigger
schools would in all likeli
hood then have to come
from the local system where
as it is now available from
the state; noted that Wel
myer school has declined
from 156 ADA three years
ago, to 151 last year, to 144
for the first three months
this year; said they felt the
students of the Welmyer and
Holland communities would
get better schooling at the
larger schools; noted that
Welmyer would get only
five state-paid teachers next
year even if it were retained;
noted the Lyerly School has
rceived no new buildings in
many, many years and the
two-story building there in
use now was condemned by
the state 35 years ago; said
the only way to get the
money which would be used
at Lyerly would be to sub
mit to the state’s conditions
for the grant—merger of the
small schools; said a decision
needs to be made at once be
cause other school systems
are waiting for this grant if
Chattooga doesn’t take it
and the state wants to know
at once; said the county
system learned only in mid-
December of this latest grant
and the matter could not
have come up earlier; said
an Atlanta newspaper report
last year that Holland and
Welmyer were to be con
solidated was in error and
was later refuted by the
newspaper; said the news
paper list was that of some
of the smaller schools in the
state which the state hoped
would be consolidated, but
the decision would be left to
the local boards.

MERGERS,

ing for himself.
Both Strickland and Jack
son voted against Espy as at
torney but nominated no one
else.
Supt. Spence suggested
during the organization of
the board that the meetings
be started in the same man
ner as they had previously
with prayer. Chairman Sel
man asked Mr. Bryant to
lead the prayer.
During the reading of the
minutes by Mr. Spence,
Member Jackson questioned
the old board’s purchase of
a pick-up truck for the high
school. It was explained that
the truck is greatly used by
the agriculture and shop.
When Member Jackson ques
tioned a teacher’s use of the
truck it was noted that the
teacher is responsible for
keeping the truck in gas and
in condition so that the
school’s use of the vehicle
will be no expense to the
school board.
Mr. Jackson brought up
the matter of the manner in
which records on gas used in
buses are kept. Spence said
the men delivering the gas
make three copies of
amounts delivered and two
are turned in to the super
intendents office where a
check is made on the amount
against the number of miles
run. Mr. Jackson said he had
personally seen gasoline be
ing taken out of buses and
put in cars and it was de
cided to have Mr. Spence
check and see about the fea
sibility of putting all gas
tanks on campuses where
principals would be respon
sible. There was a question
about fire danger and sub
sequent insurance rates and
these points were to be in
vestigated by Mr. Spence.
Member Strickland men
tioned the feasibilty of giv
ing teachers a pay supple
ment and Mr. Selman said
it had been discussed by the
board. “We agreed that any
further increase of millage
should go toward salary sup
plements,” Selman said. “For
every SIOO per teacher per
year supplement, the cost to
the system will be about sl,-
400 because we have 130
State Gives Okay
On Roads
The State this week gave
the go-ahead on a state
county paving program
which got preliminary ap
proval last spring.
The paving cannot be
done, however, says Commis
sioner Harry Powell, until
warm weather.
The project, costing the
state about $45,000, will pro
vide a total of nearly 27
miles. Some 12 y 2 miles will
be put in the municipalities
and about 14 will be put in
the county outside of mu
nicipalities.
The county puts down the
paving under this joint pro
gram and the state furnishes
the tar and gravel.
teachers and the social se
curity and retirement will
run the figure on up.”
Bryant explained that this
year the school board put
teachers on social security
for the first time, at a cost
to the system of some $20,-
000, and this is felt to be a
great inducement. However,
he said, he felt they also
should receive a pay supple
ment when this is possible.
The board decided to defer
further discussion of the
supplement matter until
time for the new budget and
levy to be set.
Supt. Spence reported that
the school system receives
about $8;, 500 a year from
the federal government in
vocational, lunchroom and
NDEA (National Defense Ed
ucation Act) funds.
The superintendent an
nounced that the state now
compels school systems to
submit a list of their antic
ipated school bus purchases
and let the state do the buy
ing. The cost will still come
out of the system’s budget,
although the state puts in
that budget most of the
transportation cost. The
board decided to order one
60-passenger bus, one 54-
passenger bus, one 66-pas
senger chassis and one 54-
passenger chassis. The cost
is expected to be about $15,-
000.
The board decided to com
ply with another state reg
ulation which says buses
should be used only for
school activities. In this
connection, the group denied
a request by a Boy Scout
group for use of a bus this
Saturday.
