Georgians who object to Gover
nor Vandiver’s experts who are
advising the Committee on Econ
omy and Reorganization might
do well to remember the “ex
perts” of the Griffin administra-1
tion. For instance, Brother Cheny
was an “expert” on a variety of
things with which the people of
Georgia are fully aware.
Red Williams’ was an “expert”
on such things as illegal liquor
campaign funds.
Lawton Shaw was an “expert”
on buying goods and services for
the State at higher than retail
prices.
Roy Chalker was an “expert” j
on paving ghost roads.
And many, many otners in the
Griffin administration were “ex
perts” at transferring State money
from the State’s coffers to their
own pockets.
These are the kind of “experts”
for which the Vandiver adminis
tration has no use.
Vandiver’s experts are retained
solely to gather the facts. They
make no policy or decisions. They
are under the complete control of
the Committee, and the Commit-

HOW’D YOU LIKE to have 134,770 bosses?
That’s the number the Georgia Power Com
pany has. What’s more, they’re the real bosses.
They are the men and women whose purchases
of stock in our company and its parent firm,
The Southern Company, have made them share
holders— and owners —of the Georgia Power
Company.
These 134,770 people follow no set pattern
in residence, age, or occupation. Housewives
and lawyers, tobacco farmers and peach grow
ers, young newlyweds and senior citizens are
all represented among the folks who own the
Georgia Power Company.
Thousands more are indirect investors in our
company. For example, when banks and life
insurance firms accept your money, they must
invest it wisely. Much of it goes into electric
power company bonds and stocks.
In doing a good job of providing plenty of
dependable and low-cost electricity for you, we
are also doing a good job for our thousands of
owners.

' I hewing to the line so rigidly on
I honesty in government that he is

Although it has been the con
i'sensus of opinion that Comptrol
i ler- 'General Zack D. Cravey
would not run again in 1962, ad
vices are now that he will be a
candidate for reelection. The
political prognosticators base this
on the large number of speeches
Mr. Cravey has scheduled fori
months ahead.
Friends of Lieutenant-Governor
j Garland T. Byrd have already
started a money raising campaign!
in several Georgia counties for his I
potential race for Governor in

1962. Clubs have been formed to
contribute a few dollars per
month, which will take care of
Byrd’s traveling expenses, etc.
during the pre-election years. Ap
parently, all these contributors
are pretty confident of Byrd’s suc
cess in ’62. A lot of good poli
ticians agree with them.
Speaking of the next gubernato
rial race, many of the state’s poli
iticos were taken by surprise by
(the statement from Agriculture

‘ which could be interpreted as his

I Campbell would run for reelection
I to his present post. However, if he
should make up his mind to run
for governor, he would be a form
idable contender. He already has
the support of many old-line pol
iticians.
The Jekyll Island Authority

the Atlantic Seaboard. They say
। “just give us two more years and

There is still considerable mys
tery as to what causes the losses
labeled as “shipping fever” dur
ing the mass movement of feeder '
cattle and lambs from ranges to
feed lots each fall.
In cattle alone, this infectious
respiratory disease takes an
annual production toll of approx
imately $25,000,000, and many
organizations this month are
giving it special attention as part
of National Livestock Loss Pre
vention Year.
The hardships of shipment set
the stage for shipping fever.
Authorities believe that ex
haustion, stress, and the simple
wear-and-tear of shipment play
an important part in bringing on
this disease.
Livestock coming down with
shipping fever appear tired, have
less appetite, may show signs of
chilling. As the disease progresses,
they will develop a fever, have
a soft cough, and there may be
a discharge from the eyes or
muzzle. If these animals can be
given medical treatment prompt
ly, it can help prevent develop
ment of pneumonia, which is so
often fatal. Prompt treatment
and good care also help to lessen
the chance of such animals be
coming permanently unthrifty.
The shipper and farmer can
take a number of precautionary
steps to lessen the chance of
shipping fever developing. Vac
cination prior to shipping will be
helpful—the type depending on
the season, condition of animals,
and time prior to shipment. Ani
mals should be handled gently
both before and during transit.
In shipment, they should be pro
tected against extreme weather.
On arrival at destination, they
should be given a little water and
should be placed in quiet, com
fortable, well-ventilated quarters.
Farmers will be wise,- also, to
postpone such operations as de
horning and castrating for at
least several weeks after newly
shipped animals have arrived.
By following the precautions
listed, the livestock owner can
help avoid some of the losses
which shipping fever now causes
with such regularity each fall.
ticularly anxious for new taxes.
What they really want is to get
all the money due them under the
constitutional amendment setting
aside gasoline and license tag
taxes to highways. The State has
avoided paying this by continuing
to operate under the old 1956 Ap
propriation Bill, but how long
this can go on is an unknown
quantity. Unless this constitu
tional amendment is repealed, the
Highway Department will receive
i many millions of dollars more
! per year once a new Appropria-
tion Bill is enacted into law.
Many individuals and organi
zations interested in a better
highway system resent the use
of what they consider “their”
money by other State Depart
ments, such as Education, Health,
and Welfare.
World Meeting To Be
Held Sept. 8-12 At
Epworth-by-the-Sea
About 10 countries of the world
will re represented when 75 Meth
odists gather at Epworth-By-The-
Sea Sptember 8-12 for an inter
national meeting.
On this island where John and
Cheries Wesley, founders of Meth
odism, once preached, members of
three executive committees will
hold business sessions.
The committees are the World
। Methodist* Council, The Methodist
Church section of the council, and
the Association of Methodist His
torical Societis.
Chief business of the World
Council Executive meeting will be
i to t>lan the World Methodist Con
। ference slated for Aug. 17-25, 1961
lin Oslo, Norway.
i The 4--members Council execu
i tive committee represents 40

■ figures the Wesleys may never
I have invisioned.
Countries represented will in-
I elude the United States, England.
I South America, New Zealand,
i Germany, Norway, Denmark,
! Sweden, and Canada.
The committee voted to meet in
Georgia after an invitation by
Bishop Arthur J. Moore, of At-,
lanta, at the 1958 meeting in J
Freudenstadt, Germany.
The last World Conference ofj
Methodism was held at Lake!
Junaluska, N. C., in 1956. Atlanta i
was host to the world meeting in '
1931. The Oslo conference for!

—an old idea which is at pres
ent enjoying a new surge of
popularity. Many of the great
houses of the past boasted beau
tiful hardwood floors, accented
with fine rugs. Today’s open
plan architecture has revived
the demand for this decorative
treatment of floor areas. Most
architectural planning today
provides large areas which
serve ‘multi-purpose functions —
combination living-dining, din
ing - television, living - kitchen
areas. This type of planning not
only conserves building costs,
but utilizes valuable space
which formerly was designed
for a single purpose, and which
oftentimes was used only on
special occasions.
Decoratively, these multi-pur
pose areas need ro be defined,
one from the other. No more
beautiful effect can be obtained
than by using one of the beau
tiful hardwoods to cover the en
tire floor area. Living or dining
or television areas can be ac
cented by using area rugs which
either match or harmonize with
your established color scheme.
In the picture shown above,
a combination oak and walnut
plywood parquet floor was used
throughout a combination liv-
j tive power,” Bishop Moore said,
. । “its functions being fraternal and
। ■ cooperative, designed to draw the
;; numerous branches of the Wes
: I leyan movement closer together
; i and to promote among them evan
i j gelistic, educational, historical and
i other mutual interests.”

and Savannah led by Bishop
Moore and Dr. Anthony Hearn,
superintendent of the Savannah
district, are scheduled for Wed
nesday and Saturday afternoons.
The international group will see

James Oglethorpe, whose com
' pany of men included John and
' Charles Wesley as chaplains.

Writing about these assembly

I “The Wesleys would probably not

I today. But should they return
they would find a Methodist cen
!! ter far more religious than any

' sojurned there.”

WASHINGTON AND
“SMALL BUSINESS”
By C. WILSON HARDER
A constant query from readers
of this column is as follows:
“Why is it that my small busi
ness must pay out so much in
taxes. Where does the money go?
* * *
It is perhaps, in answer to
that question, well to ponder the

situation in’
Nepal. No one
should be em
barrassed ift
they have
never heard of
Nepal, because;
lots of people
have never
heard of it. Ac-1
tually, it is a I
small little j
country of'
some B'2 million people between
India and Himalaya mountains
with rich forests and farms.
* * *
But now the fact that many
people have not heard of this
little land does not mean too
much, because the International
Cooperation Administration, the
current name for the foreign
give away set up has heard of it.
• * *
In fact, the ICA has something
like 50 people working in Nepal.
Half of them are in the Grade
4 or better salary grade. In fact
these fifty people are drawing
down from foreign give away
administration funds anywhere
from $6,000 to $18,700 per year,
largely tax exempt.
* * •
Now there are all kinds of “ex
perts” on the payroll including
such functionaries as home eco
nomic advisors, community de
velopment advisors, health edu
cation advisors. In fact, it ap
pears that there are just lots of
Americans sitting around on big
tax free salaries all day long
advising the people of Nepal on
practically everything. Whether
or not the people of Nepal want
advice is another matter.

of Nepal get worn out from lis

TABLE CLEARING
MADE EASIER
Mrs. Mana Tayler, nutritionist^
Agricultural Extension Service,
has these suggestions for making
table clearing and drying dishes
easier: Have each person take
his plate from the table, scrape
and stack in order. Air dry dishes
in a drainer. This saves time, dish
tcwels and is more sanitary than
drying them with a cloth.
STARTED PULLETS
Dewey McNiece, poultryman,
Agricultural Extension Service,
declares started pullet growing is
becoming quite important in
Georgia’s egg industry. His ad
vice is to know quite well the
grower who is growing out pul
j lets for you. He suggests asking
I the local county agent for circular
1449, “Started Pullets,” for detailed
! information concerning this phase
I of the industry.
। According to economists, Agri
cultural Extension Service, busi
jness created in assembling, pro
cessing, and distributing Georgia
'farm products exceeds two billion
i dollars annually.
tening to so much advice from j
so many “experts” from Amer- I
ica, they presumably can relax I
occasionally as the foreign give j
away administration also main- j
tains a recreation supervisor.
• • *
Now here is one nation where I
it appears that whatever they |
get out of the give away deal,
most of it is merely advice.
♦ » *
According to data available,
over the past ten years ICA has i
allocated to this little country j
around $lO million, or some
where around a million dollars
per year.
* ♦ *
Now the salaries for this corps I
of advisors, plus other fringe S
benefits thrown in, must run well I
over a half million dollars per ?
year, so little free goods goes I
to Nepal.
* * ♦
But the cost of giving advice .
is what hurts in this instance.
It would perhaps be far cheap- I
er to give every resident of Ne- I
pal a few addressed and stamped I
envelopes every year and let I
them write to Washington when- j
ever they want any advice.
♦ * ♦
Then the American advisors I
could be brought home, perhaps :
find jobs in private industry, pay
taxes on their salaries.
On the second thought, it is |
possible that American private i
business has all the advisors I
they need, and those the foreign j
give away program sent to Ne- |
pal are surplus advisors some- |
thing like surplus U. S. corn.
♦ » *
But it still is hard to imagine
what Bt4 million people of Nepal
do with over a half million dol- !
lars worth of free American ad- ;
vice every year. Perhaps some of ;
these advisors should be brought
home to advise the American
taxpayer why he should foot the
bill for giving out with such free
advice. That would be, undoubt
edly, a most fascinating venture.
