Van American World Airways Buys 12 Lockheed-Georgia Super Hercules
Georgia Becomes World Capitol j
For Air Freighter Manufacture ;
The Georgia Division of Lockheed has received an order for 12
Intercontinental Super Hercules Prop-Jet Air Freighters to be built
at the Marietta plant. This added to the order received last week from [
Slick Airways for six Super Hercules brings the total sales of the
jet age air freighter to 18. With additional orders from other freight
airlines and from the military expected, the Georgia plant of Lockheed I
will become the world center for the production of fast, air freighters •
to spur the rapid growth of air freight throughout the world. Chairman
Robert E. Gross, of the Lockheed board, said: “In probably all forms [
of transportation to date—on the seas, on the railroads and on the i
highways, the big contribution to our economy and standard of living i
and the greater profits to transportation operators has come from <
the mass movement of freight. We are convinced this likewise will be
true in the air and that the development of this airplane (Super
Hercules) by our Georgia Division which is ideally suited to eco- ।
nomical transportation of cargo, will be the stimulus needed to spur
the rapid growth that we believe will be inevitable in this field. We I
are particularly pleased that Pan American will be the pioneer in :
introducing the Intercontinental Hercules to air freight service over i
the world." Lockheed-Georgia officials say the commercial Hercules I
orders will tend to help stabilize employment at the Lockheed operated |
; government aircraft plant in Marietta.

Social Security's 25
Years Block Foreign
'lsms, Huiet
“Today is the 25th birthday of
the Social Security Law, a good
time for Khrushchev to observe j
■ first hand what 25 years of demo-;
cratic action in social security has i
done,” Georgia Commissioner of
Labor Ben T. Huiet said today,
day.
“America by the people’s free
choice has brought more hap-‘
piness and security to the old I
! people, widows, orphans and job ।
, seekers through the social security
program than any other nation on
the face of the earth.
“A quarter century of increased :
prosperity for all Americans is!
i due to a major extent to the ex- [
:ten d e d consumer purchasing j
i power by old age and survivors ।
payments and job insurance pay- j
‘ ments to unavoidably unemployed
■ workers.”
' Huiet stated that skilled heavy j
i industry workers in Georgia make'j
i three to four times the salaries of j
। comparable Soviet workers, who
i make around $27.50 a week when
i fully employed.
I “Such a worker in Georgia
I temporarily out of a job can get
i $30.00 a week job insurance, help-'
I ing him through his unemploy
; ment and back to his $65.00 to j
$125.00 a week job.
“Khrushchev will find it hard
!to believe that even during a
1 slack period of employment, as in
i 1958 when over $42 million dollars
• were paid to unemployed Geor
i glans, job insurance payments
! are based on past production and
I not on a mortgage against future
j production.
I “The world’s top communist
! would be astonished to learn that j
■ Georgia employers have been |
' saved over $285 million dollars j
! since 1942, which they have kept ।
i for expansion, wage increases or |
[ whatever they please. These Geor-;
' gia employers have kept under]
the Georgia Employment Security |
laws these millions in payroll |
taxes simply by providing stable i
employment.
“Job Insurance and other social j
security programs are the work i
: of a free people. As a result, our i
■ economic reverses are minimized i
. and foreign’isms are left to die |
| far from our shores.
j “Yes, we’d like Khrushchev to
■ see the stability, strength and
' satisfaction social security affords
। a free people,” Commissioner
Huiet concluded.
Browning WSCS
The Browning WSCS met in the
: home of Mrs. Carl Adams in the
Month of July with nine members
' present. Mrs. William Heath was
in charge of the program which
' was enjoyed very much. The

i Betty after the meeting.
The August meeting was in the

SOIL CONSERVATION
Ac
Conservation
• By H. L. DAVIS
Persons wanting “first-day”
! covers containing the world’s first
! soil conservation stamp should
send addressed envelopes to the
i Postmaster, Rapid City, S. D.,
within the next few days, H. L. i
Davis said today.
The 4-cent, 3-color postage
stamp in the commemorative
series goes on sale in Rapid City
August 26 at the annual meeting
of the Soil Conservation Society
of America.
The stamp will go on sale in
local post offices August 27, the
day following its issuance at
Rapid City.
Mr. H. L. Davis pointed out
that the Rapid City Postmaster,,
i upon request and receipt of
properly addressed envelopes and
a remittance to cover cost of the
stamps, will place the new soil
conservation stamp on envelopes,
cancel with a special cancellation
mark used only on that day and
at that place, and mail the enve
lopes on the first day of issue.
Various companies print enve
lopes for this particular use, but
plain envelopes may also be used.
Mr. H. L. Davis emphasized that
these instructions should be fol
lowed carefully:
1. Address the envelope (as
, many as you wish) plainly and in
i the lower right hand quarter of
, the envelope to leave ample room
I for the stamp and the special [
j cancellation device that will be
! used at Rapid City.
2. Place in the envelope a close
-1 fitting enclosure of about postal
' card thickness (it may be an ac
tual letter or conservation mes
! sage, of course) and seal or turn
the flap inside the envelope. Col
lectors prefer the latter so the
envelope isn’t damaged in open
ing.
। 3. Enclose the addressed enve
, lope in a large envelope or
package addressed to the Post
master, Rapid City, S. D. En
close a money order or certified
check in the exact amount to
j cover the number of 4-cent stamps
: required. Write “First-day covers,
| Soil conservation postage stamp,
[ August 26,1959” on the outside of
the shipping envelope or package.
Make sure it carries adequate
postage. As an accomodation to
the local Post Office staff, try to
get your envelope to Rapid City
two weeks ahead of the release
date.

| "Koen WbeMor County Green
ter from fallout" in the event of
an enemy attack.
In the introduction to "The
Family Fallout Shelter,” a pub
lication of the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization, Mr. Hoegh
says: “In an atomic war, blast,
heat and initial radiation could
kill millions close to ground zero
of nuclear bursts. Many more
millions —everybody else—could
be threatened by radioactive
fallout. But most of these could
be saved.”
Mr. Hoegh pointed out that
the Federal shelter policy is
based on the knowledge that
most of those beyond the range
of blast and heat will survive
if they have adequate protec
tion from fallout.
The OCDM booklet contains
building plans for five basic fall
out shelters. One is a do-it
yourself project with solid con
crete blocks. Cost of th? shelters
ranges from $l5O to SISOO.
Copies of “The Family Fall
out Shelter” may be obtained
