Unemployment Rises Slightly
Chattooga County's
unemployment rate edged back
up slightly in May from April,
but the latest preliminary
figure is still more than three
points under the rate a year
ago, according to the Georgia
Labor Department.
The Chattooga County rate
rose sli§htly from 8.9 percent
in April to a preliminary 9.1
unemployment rate in May,
said Labor Department Com
missioner Joe Tanner. Still, the
May rate this year is far below
the May, 1985 rate of 12.2
percent.
The county had a labor
force of 8,783 this May with
7,981 people reported working
and 802 unemployed, the
Labor Department said.
In April, the county had a
labor force of 8,671 with 7,901
employed and 770 people not

The county had a reported
labor force of 8,688 in May,
1985, and of that number,
7,626 were reported working
and 1,062 were unemployed.
The county’s labor force in
creased by 112 people from
April to May.and the number
of people employed increased
by 80. But the number not
working also increased by 32.
Georgia's unemployment
rate also increased sfightly in
May from April, Tanner said,
rising from 5.5 to 5.6.
However, in the Coosa
Valley Area Planning and
Development Commission
area, of which Chattooga Coun
ty is a part, unemp%oyment
dropped slightly from 6.7 per
cent in April to 6.6 percent in
May.

region, Tanner attributed the
slight drop in unemployment
to increased employment in
non-manufacturing industries,
including construction, trade
and services.
For the state as a whole,
Tanner also had reasons for the
slight state-wide increase in
unemployment — and they
may apply to Chattooga
County.
He said mere than 34,000
new people came into the job
market in May. ‘lt is not un
common for the unemployment
rate to rise during the summer
months, simply because we
have more people, particularly
students and secondary wage
earners, looking for jobs,” Tan
ner said.
A year ago, the unemploy
ment rate in the Coosa Valley
area was 8.7 percent, almost
two points higher than it was
this May.
Tanner said that the textile
and apparel industries provid
ed almost one out of every
three manufacturing jobs in
Georgia in May, but only one
out of every 15 jobs overall.

Deaton Outlines Views
On State School Post
Ed Deaton, candidate for
state school superintendent,
visited The Summerville News
Monday afternoon where an
imprompr:: inte‘rvieu; was held.
THE NEWS: There was a
rroblem with special education
unding this year. Do you think
they will give that money
bac{(?
DEATON: They can't do a
thing until January. They're
trying to hide it. They made a
boo-boo in their calculations.
They say, well, 90 percent of it
(funding) now, but local school
systems are taking it on the
c}‘;in. They're having to pick it
up out of local money for both
the special ed, and the %ifted.
if they keep it. Mainly, they're
letting the gifted g0...50,
they're going to try to come
baci, I assume, in the special
supplemental aEpropriations,‘
and come back with some
money. It's too bad when our
teachers have a contract to
start work in September, and
they're looking for jobs.
They're not placing a lot of
them. I think it was a real boo
boo, because they had a year
lead time to calculate before it
went into effect.
While they were sitting up
there calculating, they didn’t
know what was happening in
our schools, because our special
ed folks are out now looking for
jobs. A lot of counties are pick
ing it up but there are a lot of
counties that are red-lining it
(special ed). I think we neeg to
look real seriously at the FTE
count and what counts in FTE
count. For example that's the
reason they closeg up driver ed.
Basically, the curriculum of
driver ed doesn't fall in the
category of funding. I maintain
that the cost of driver ed is
almost nil to a school system,
because you can get car
manufacturers and insurance
companies to basically pick up
the cost of a driver ed program.
THE NEWS: What is your
proposal about using the sug
gestions and ideas of teachers
in the classroom?
DEATON: [ maintain
you're going to improve in
struction in one place, that's in
a classroom. Business has us
ed the idea of employee input
for recommendations to im
prove production. In educa
tion, we don't utilize our
employees. [ say, ask the
teachers, ‘What can we do to
improve instruction in your
classroom?’ Siphon out the
ideas, synthesize them. And
put them into use. It's an idea
that can't cost us any big
amount of money, but it can
also bring back some pride and
some grestige and self pride
‘with the teachers.
~ THE NEWS: Have you
found that being head of the
GAE (Georgia Association of
'Educators) has had an effect on
your candidacy, either good or
bad?
DEATON: It makes me
have a lot of credibility with
educators and has also in
troduced me to a lot of people
outside education. Peopfe ask,
“Well, are you going to repre
sent GAE?"” No, I'm going to
represent people. I tfiink for
too long the position of state
school superintendent has been
a representative of people
under the gold dome and not a
representative of the people.
Because a person who ha(Fn't
been a%pointed by a governor,
hasn’t been in there since 1932.
So the people have never had
a choice to get somebody to
represent them. We've built
our platform on what the peo
?le want. We're going to push
or legislation to %ave an
elected state school board.
Eighty-three percent of the
people in this state want a
representative that's elected
by congressional district to
serve on the state board of
education; somebody that they
can look to that is accountable
to them.
THE NEWS: How much do
you think it’s going to take in
money to win a state-wide elec
tion like this?
DEATON: We're not goin
to outspend the governor ang
their candidate; we're going to
sgend what we get. We are
shooting at the goal of
ED DEATON
$150,000. We're getting a lot
better coverage now for our ex
penditures than we an
ticipated. There are so many
people all over the state who
are makinicontacts and doing
things at the local level that we
didn’t anticipate. A lot of peo
ple are buying ads in the
newspaper as an individual or
printing fliers to hand out as an
in-kind contribution. Things
like this are saving a lot of
money. Plus, we are a network
of some 9,000 individuals work
ing in every county for Ed/
Deaton. When you have the in
dividuals working in the com
munity, you don't need as

THE NEWS: Why should
the people in Chattooga Coun
ty vote for ו\סיזִ over any of the
other candidates?
DEATON: Because I'm the
best qualified candidate. Three
weeks ago, I was in the trench,
and none of the other can
didates can say that. I left the
trench three weeks ago when I
left my school. I've been a
teacher for seven years, I've
been a pfincipal for 20. I've
been in Georgia for 20 years
and I know the problems in the
schools. My training is better
than anybody else in the race.
Basically my work’s been in
Georgia. My undergraduate
degree is in business ad
ministration. Mdy graduate
degree is in education, in
counseling, guidance and ad
ministration, and my Ph.D. is
in career development. I have
five teaching fields, so my
education back%':ound is a
cross-section of the communi
ty. Mf' experience in educa
tional eadershir is superior to
the other people. The leader
ship roles tfi:tg have held have
been in working to improve
education.
One candidate said he was
glad his daughter will have the
use of QgE in full-day
kindergarten. I'm the only can
didate who testified for a full
day kindergarten when QBE
had its hearings in the
Legislature. I've worked with
everg’ governor since Carl
Sanders in educational im
provements. I've never left the
state, I've been here and {
know what the problems are.
The greatest reason is I'm con
cerned about the people and
providing what they want.
