Hartline
from second front
connector is a longt.erm pro
ject, Hartline said, *‘lt's worth
getting started on early. First
{o\l get a commitment and
hen it can be built by sec
tions."
UNEMPLOYMENT
Referring to the economy of
Chattooga and Dade Counties,
Hartline said Chattooia's
unemployment rate ranked
very hiah in 1985 — 151st out
of 159 eoxgia counties, accor
ding to a eorxia Extension
Service report. And Dade was
67th last {lear. he said.
Only three of 31 Geo:;gia
counties served l;i' the Ap
palachian Relgion Commis
sion had the lowest economic
rating, according to a federal
study, and Chattooga and
Dade were two out of those
three, Hartline said.
Hartline said he would try
to provide immediate helEu:.o
the area’s economytg working
closely with national officials
to restrict textile imports.
With such restrictions, local
mills could obtain more con
tracts and hire more ]
emgloyees. Hartline said. |
n addition, James H.
“Sloppy” Floyd State Park
needs to be improved for the
benefit of local residents and to
attract more tourists to the |
area, Hartline said. “We need
to add a swimming area and
build cabins for tourists and |
local residents. We could make
it a self-supporting park,” he
said. ‘‘Now it brings in little
revenue, only from picnic |
tables (rental) and from boats
and so forth.” |
QBE |
Asked about the Quality |
Basic Education (QBE) pro- |
gram, Hartline said he’s not |
too sure that ‘‘getting back to |
the basics” is the answer to the |
state’'s educational problems |
‘“because you have to stay on |
top of t,eci)inology and innova- |
tion.”” He said one candidate |
for state school superintendent |
wants to do away with the |
“new math” because he said |
parents can't help their |
children with it, ‘“but that
might defeat our purgose in ob- |
taining high tech jobs.” |
Hartline said he doesn’t
favor cutting back funding for |
special education or vocational |
education under QBE.
“Everyone’s not cut out to be
a college student and we need |
to furtfier the vocational route;
it would be good to help them
learn skills and a chance to help
them decide what they really
want to do with their life.”
The challenger said
residents should vote for him
over Rep. Crawford because he
Morrison
from second front
steps of the QBE before fun
ding special education but, if at
all possible, I would recom
mend funding it.”
As for driver education, “‘I
don’t think it should be fund
ed. I feel other things are more
important.” In the past, Mor
rison added, money for science
and math has been reduced but
under QBE, those programs
are going to receive more ade
quate financing.
Morrison said he favors
vocational education ‘‘but I
also favor science and math
education. There's only so
much money so you have to
make the best of it to benefit
all the students.
“Nothing is more impor
tant to me ltia.. education) and
it shouldn’t be to anyone else,”
he continued. ** . . . We should
provide the best quality educa
tion.... .
NO REPRESENTATION
Morrison said the response
he has received from people
he’s contacted during the cam
paign indicates that voters feel
“we’'ve not had any representa
tion. He (Crawford) doesn’t try
to obtain for us our fair share.”
The only way the district is
going to grow, the candidate
said, is ‘‘to obtain some of the
things we need, such as a good
four-lane connector to Ar
muchee and then to I-75
around Highway 140. Once we
do that, our area will open up.
Atlanta will always be the hub
of Georgia, as far as I can see,
and if we can obtain better ac
cess to those markets, we can
grow.”
Also, Morrison said that
although it will be ‘“very dif
ficult,”” efforts should be made
to obtain an east-west connec
tor between I-59 in Alabama to
1-75 in Georgia, perhaps
through northern Chattooga or
through Walker County. “%f we
get that, we will have opened
up this side of the state,” he
added.
The Democratic candidate
said he favors extending
Highway 2A from its current
end near the foot of Lookout
Mountain, over the mountain
westward to Trenton.
The Georgia DOT is looking
at four-lanindg Highway 140,
Morrison said, ‘‘But they’re go
ing to need a whole lot of en
couragement’’ for the project
to come to fruition.
He pointed out that he did
some survey work for the DOT
in 1978 on U.S. 27 from
Bremen to Carrollton and the
feels he is more qualified and
has a more varied bac?ound
than the incumbent. Hartline
said he was reared on a farm,
has cut and hauled timber, has
worked in textile mills in Chat
tooga County, is a Vietnam
veteran, earned his GED cer
tificate in the army and then
goneon to earn all but about 15
ours for a bachelor's degree in
education at Geor%ila State
University. He said he set up
the auto bogfl" re'Fair cur
riculum at Walker Tech near
LaFayette and taught there for
six years, including two years
of day and night classes, before
starting his own business a
year ago. He said he had
almost 100 percent placement
of his students while teaching
at Walker Tech.

If elected, Hartline said he
would seek to be named to the
Veterans Affairs Committee
and probably the Agriculture
or Forestry Committees.
DOT is just now redesigning
the project to let bids in six or
more months. It will be at least
20 years before U. S. 27 is four
laned from Chattanooga to |
Florida, Morrison said, “‘And |
20 years is a long time.” |
STATE PRISON ‘
Is the proposed state prison
for Chattooga County an
issue? “Not with me,” Mor- |
rison replied, but added that he
doesn’t feel it should be located
in the Pennville community.
“If I lived there on Roberts
Drive, I'd be as upset as those ‘
people,”” Morrison said.
Morrison said he waited un
til the last day of qualifying
last month ‘‘because I Ke t
hoping someone else with tge
ability to get the job done for
the district would) run but no |
one else did and I decided I'd
have todoit..." |
He ise a native of Floyd
County and was reared in
Shannon, where he graduated

Crawford
from second front
been made as to its location,
‘whether in Summerville,
LaFayette or some other site
‘nearby.
~ Crawford also said he con
‘tinues to work with the
Georgia Department of In
dustry and Trade, Southern
Railroad Co. and Georgia
Power Co. in encourag'ng in
dustry to locate in the District
‘or for existing industry to
expand.
“You've got to have what
the geo%:: (industries) are look
ing for before they (industrial
developers such as Georgia
Power) will bring anybody by,"”
he said. “The{re not going to
bring somebody b{ just
because you're their friend.”
And he said the number of out
side companies coming into
Georgia and locating in rural
areas is very small and has
been decreasing in recent
years.
. But Crawford = said
‘economic development can't be
looked at only in the terms of
heavy industry. “If you can
create jobs anywhere —
whether in retail, buildinF orin
dustry — you've got to look at
the total picture.”
Industry needs water,
sewerage and related utilities,
Crawford said in pointing out
progress being made by the Ci
ty of Summerville ami, the Ci
ty of Trion.
‘‘Summerville, with its
speculative building, is doing
what it needs to do. It has im
proved its water system and is
improving its sewer system,”
Crawford said. ‘‘They'll be
ready to give industry what
they need when they come in.”
Continuing, Crawford said,
“One thing we ought to con
sider is people who are already
here, encouraging and helpin
them" to start businesses ang
industries and to expand.
MAIN ISSUE
The main issue of the cam
paign, Crawford said, is
economic development. ““In the
last 10 or 12 years, we've lost
in the neighborhood of 2,000
jobs in the textile industry,” he
said.
Referring to the sth
District and Chattooga’s
transfportation needs,
Crawford pointed out that the
Georgia Department of
Transportation has already let
bids on widening U. S. 27 g‘om
Summerville to Trion. The
main need for the area now is
to ensure that state plans to
widen U.S. 27 from Chat
tanooga, Tenn., to the Florida
line are carried out, he said.
When U. S. 27 is widened,
when Rome completes its East
Rome Byflass toU. S. 411 and
that highway is connected
directly with I-75, then Chat
tooga County will have a more
direct connector with I-75 and
the Atlanta area, Crawford
said.
The next step in the U. S.
27 widening project will be
from the current end of the
four-lane at Richard B. Russell
Airport in Floyd County to
Highway 156 further north,
Crawford said. The DOT has
not developed plans beyond
that point, the representative
adde«i but said he will continue
»to push for four-laning U. S. 27
from Summerville to slat point
as quickly as possible.
HIGHWAY 1407
There are no immediate
lans to widen Highway 140
?rom Armuchee to Adairsville
and I-75 to four lanes,
Crawford said, although
Highway 140 will soon have
passing lanes.

A lot of hi%hway projects
will depend on future fiasoline
tax revenue going to the DOT,
Crawford said. Between
SBOO-million and sl-billion in
fuel taxes go to the DOT each
f'ear that is untouched b{ the
egislature, he contiued. If the
economy Y\ermits. the
legislature oEles to add
another SIOO-million to that
amount and designate it for
developmental highways,
Crawford added.
On another issue, Crawford
said changes will be made next
fiear in the Quality Basic
ducation (QBE) bill to restore
funds for special education.
The omission was an inadver
tent error by the legislation's
sponsers, he indicated.
QBE
The QBE lefiislation has
also resulted in the Chattooga
County Schoo:n?mstem receiv
ing around sl-million more and
the City of Trion system receiv
ing some $250,000 more this
year in state funds, Crawford
said.
The bill also encourages
more community development
on the part of teachers, parents
and businessmen, Crawford
said. Money alone will not
solve education’s [;roblems, he
said. “‘When you look around
the nation at the good schools,
it's not so much money but the
emphasis that parents put on
education.”
Funds for driver education
robably will not be restored
gy the legislature, he said, and
vocational education will begin
to concentrate on basics rather
than on specific skills, he in
dicated. ‘““That’'s what was
recommended by the business
people who will ge hiring these
young people.”
The legislator said he is
most prouglof his involvement
with the QBE legislation and
with working to obtain dif
ferential assessment of farm
land to help prevent farmers
from being forced out of
business due to high land costs
and taxes.
