‘ Atlanta, September 25—"“Georgia’s mon-farm
worker ranks now exceed one million!” Georgia’s
Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet tells Governor
S. Ernest Vandiver, The million mark was previ
ously predicted for September or October of this
vear. However, the opening of a mammoth shopping
center in the Atlanta area, and the usual seasonal
gains in manufacturing, trade and government
and a large number of temporary workers in whole
sale tobacco markets pushed the total beyond the
one million goal in August, a total of 1,003,300.

i Henry Davis Chairman of the
‘ch Scout Fund Drive reports
| that more than $300.00 has been
‘raised by the citizens of Alamo
since the drive kicked-off last Sat
i urday.
' Mr. Davis wishes to thank all
!the people who made the drive a
success. More than 70 people made

; The workers on the drive were
;Billy Lowe John Peebles Ramon

. bert Hathcock. i
Slight losses in construction, industries and hard
goods manufacturing were completely overshadowed
by these gains. So far, the stéel strike has shown
little effect on Georgia employment. This informa=
tion is revealed in the Georgia Department of La
bor’s regular monthly report “Wages and Employ
ment,” released today by Commissioner Huiet.
During the past year, Georgia employers hired
119,124 workers through the 35 Georgia State Eme
ployment Service offices of the Department.

Danger! Fish Killed by
Oxygen Depletion! j
| This week the sad news was‘i
brought to my attention of fish
in a perfectly healthy pond dyingj
by the hundreds. |
After careful checking we find
'that the villian was weeds. Duck%
jweed being the most vicious, This
little plant comes without warn
ing and spreads with unbelievablej‘
speed. The entire surface of the
water will become covered with
several inches of this pest. Theé
life cycle of the plant is unde
termined, millions of them die
'shortly and settle to the bottom.’
Here they start the process of de- |
cay which in it’s process takes thel
oxygen from the water therefore
causing the fish to suffocate, i
With frost coming in the near|
{future there will be a lot of weeds!
[and grass dying and settling in our
ponds that have weed and grass!
!in them now. So we advise any |
pond owner that has grass in his
pond to keep a close watch onl
them. If you have signs of fish/
dying notify this office at once.!
Then get to the nearest place thatl
handles “Super Phosphate”. Thist
should be spread at rate of 300-§
400 pounds per acre of water. By |
all means be sure to contacti
Horace L. Davis, Alamo, at the|
first sign of fish dying. If you|
have never seen a pond with]
hundreds of nice fish floating, |
the sight makes a fishermani
mighty sad. ’
The old saying “an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure” |
could be no truer. Although no}
matter how good a job you do;
with fertilization this Duck weed |
will or can get in your pond. How |
it starts is still a mystery to us.|
Some ponds have it others don;g,.i
. We have no way of knowing when '
‘or which pond it will attack. If'
the pond is open, not screened by
a heavy growth of trees, chances'
are you won’'t ever be bothered
with it. Open ponds and wind
will keep the majority clear. !
We have also known of fish
kills' by the unwise use of insec- |
. ticides. If your cotton, tobacco or.
' peanut fields are located in the
pond’s watershed, the run off
water from these fields reaching
i the pond will kill the fish. So far
{as we know there is no way to
counteract this poisoning except
be sure your cotton, tobacco or
any crop you use insecticide on
does not drain toward your pond.f
Keep up a good steady rate of
fertilization from frost to frost:
and you will eliminate the large
part of your trouble. This will
keep down most weeds and;
grasses—also grow you the max- |
imum number of pounds of fish. |

River Development
Plan Review Set
For November
‘| Vast development plans for
| Georgia’s Altamaha River Basin
‘| will be reviewed at November
| meetings scheduled at Mcßae and
| Macon.
The review was requested by
| Georgia’s senior Sen. Richard B.
{ Russell in a resolution adopted
| by the Senate Committee on Pub
|l lic Works.
| Sen. Russell advised The Eagle
| Monday from Washington that
'lthe U. S. Corps of Engineers
| has notified him hearings on the
: development project have been
' | set for Macon on Nov. 17 and for
f Mcßae the following day.
| The meetings will review re
ports on the Altamaha, Oconee
|and Ocmulgee Rivers, which are
‘|included in the Altamaha River
| Basin.
: Purpose of the hearings are to
| ascertain views and desires of
{local people in the areas of the
.| three Georgia rivers.
.| River development leaders have
{long advocated opening up and
t developing the three rivers to
| make an inland waterway navi
.| gable from Milledgville to the
| { sea at Brunswick.
Right now a $43,000 snagging
;]and clearing project is being
| | carried out by a U. S. Corps of
; | Engineers barge and crane from
; | Savannah.
y| The project aims to clear the
. { Ocmulgee River from Jackson

| | The barge presently is working
between Abbeville and Hawkins

! According to Sen. Russell, re
_{ports on the existing project on

I|Georgla Non-Farm
| Workers Total Over

' “The number of non-farm
ilworkers in Georgia exceeded one
I million during August. We had
l predicted this total would be
reached in September or October.
| However, the opening of a
- imammoth shopping center in
'| Atlanta, the wusual seasonal
‘{gain in manufacturing, trade
'fand government and a large
‘| number of temporary workers in
i wholesale tobacco pushed the total
|| beyond the million mark in Au
-1 gust, for a total of 1,003,300,
| Commissioner of Labor Ben T.‘
| Huiet announced today in a reg
-1 ular “Employment and Wages Re- |
L;pOl‘t.” |
| Huiet said mnon-farm employ-l
|ment in Georgia has almost
1 doubled in the past two decades. ’
’ “In 1939, he stated, “Georgia
{ employers had 512,000 workers on|
‘1 their payrolls.”
l “This phenomenal growth has'
"come about by establishment of‘
|new industrial and commerciall
|operations and the expansion of
,existing ones,
| “In assisting this growth, the
lEmployment Security Agency ofl
"the Department has made over|
‘3OO labor market surveys duringl
‘|this time. These surveys have |
helped employers to be sure the!
‘lcommunities in which they plan
'ned to invest had the necessaryl
| human, natural and developed re
| sources necessary for sound eco-l
| nomic growth,” the C'ommissionerl
of Labor asserted. b
' During the past 12 months!
‘alone, Georgia employers have fil- !
led over 119,000 jobs through the
35 State Employment Service of
! fices of the Department. ’
! “We are proud of the role.your !
| Department of Labor has played
|in Georgia’s stable economic
and industrial growth. It is partic

during Georgia Industry Week
[that wage earning worker ranks

Interest Increased -
On Savinfié\Bonds. e
Never befoyé have - United
.| States Savings«@md’s been so at
| tractive to in&?tors and small
-| savers alike, CHarles A. Collier,
|| chairman# of she State Savings
Bond Commit;’ee, said today in
.| commenting on¥the one-halt pet
| cent increase i"'n“f-interest rates on;
i’old and new/ Series E and H!
1 Savings Bonds:
‘ “Forty million people automat
l ically benefit from the recent leg
f!islation passed by Congress,” Mr.
| Collier said, “because that many
| hold outstanding bonds in' the
"amount of $426 billion. For the
' first time, the Hike in rates ap
i plies to old series E and H Sav
l ings Bonds, as well as those being
| bought currently. So, it will be to
| the advantage d§ most bond own
| ers to hold onto their old bonds,
| thus automatically receiving the
| benefit of thé increase.”
»‘ The new law does two things:
1 (1) it provides that all Savings
! Bonds bought on and after June
Il draw 3 3/4 per cent interest
, | when held to maturity, and (2) it
lincreases by at least one-half of
! one per cent the interest return
|on all outstanding E and H bonds,
, [regardless of their age, for the
‘period from June 1, 1959, to their
r}maturity. In addition, the Treas
'{ury has promised a 10-year ex-|
;ltension privilege for all E bonds,
; both old and new.
‘ “I cannot emphasize too strong
.lly the fact that every person who
{owns an E or H bond benefits
from the new rate, without having
.| to do anything about it,” Mr. Col
| lier continued. “I would therefore
[encourage the public to do two
[ things: keep holding their old
l'bonds, and keep on buying ‘the
”new ones. This is the finest Sav
_ings Bonds package ever offered.”
!Yellow School Bus
|Means Stop
Schools are open in Georgia,
and children are again riding the
vellow school buses. Each school
liday there wili be approxiniately
1442000 pupils transported on
l’ buses, and it is predicted that this
3lfigure will soon reach the half
- ! million mark.
ll Joe T. DeFoor, assistant direc
|| tor, Pupil Transportation Services,
[ State Department of Education,
’lreminds all drivers—including
"school bus drivers—of the laws
| regulating school bus travel. Keep
‘-!these in mind when you see one
| of these brightly painted vehicles:
1. A yellow school bus is a big
| stop command to all drivers. The
i motorist must come to a complete
lstop, whether approaching or fol-|.
lowing a bus. The only exception |
I is on a four-lane divided highway, |
i where stopping would apply only
'to motorists following the bus. |
| 2. The motorist must stop and
|wait until school bus passengers |
disembark and safely cross the
'street. ; pla
| 3. The motorist,” on resuming
‘ltravel, should drive slowly and|
cautiously in the event of any un
expected behaviour by the chil
dren, remembering that occasion-|
{ally they will suddenly dart out
| of a bus and into the road without
lwam’mg. ‘
l‘ Just as those driving cars are|
lexpected to exercise judgment
and skill in passing or following
school buses, so the bus drivers
are expected to play a major role
lin maintaining: safety of the|
l passengers.
i All bus drivers have passed the
i health standards set by the State
[Department of Education. They
ihave further passed tests by|
’specialists in highway safety on
quickness of perception, reaction
'time, perception of distance, |
depth and certain spatial dimen- |
sions. They have had a rigid|,
I physical examination, including
| vision and laboratory tests as
prescribed by a medical advisory |-
group. :
“Safe, careful driving and rigid
!adherence to traffic rules by bus]:
drivers alone cannot insure ade-|.
!quate safety for school children. |
llt requires thoughtful, carefull'
and courteous obedience to traffic |
lrules by every person who’:
!drives," Mr. DeFoor said. “Let’s|]
lresolve to have no school bus ac-|]
[ cidents in Georgia to mar the hap- |
lpiness and joy of this school year.” l ;

Dublin Man Has :
Letter Longfellow
Wrote to Aunt
A well-known Dublin man has
a letter in his possession that
autograph collectors would give
ia pretty for. '
| It's a letter from Henry Wads-~-
]warth Longfellow, written frong
ICambridge, Mass., in 1877, and
‘addressed to the late Miss Janme
Thigpen, of Clinton, Ga., aunt of
Zach Houser, who lives neas
Dublin.
Miss Jane Thigpen and her sis«
ter, the mother of Mr. Houser;,
were both highly educated women:
and both wrote poetry. Miss Jame
taught school in Rome but her
sister married Zachariah Houses
and moved to Perry.
The young school teacher semf:
some of her poems, and perhaps:
some of her sister’s to Longfel
low, who replied promptly, prom
ising to send samples on to the
other great poet contemporary
James Russell Lowell.
Written in ink which has leng’
since faded brown, penned with &
quill, the letter states:
“Dear Miss Thigpen: I have
this morning had the pleasure es: -
receiving your charming Christs |
mas present, the copy of youwr
poems which you were kind)
enough to send me, and hasten tw:
lthank you for this mark of youe:
consideration and regard.
“ I shall read the volume werthi:.
much interest and sympathy, be
ing curious to hear what the song’
birds of the South are singieg,
and sure of taking pleasure im:-
their song . . . Accept my best.
thanks for your kindness, and bhe
lieve me, with all good wishes;
Yours very truly, Henry W. Long=..
fellow.
“P. S. Mr. Lowell’s copy shall
be sent to him without delay.”
The envelope is a small sized
container with a three-cent stamap
imprinted thereon. The stamp is:
green, oval in shape, and has the -
profile of Washington in white.
Miss Jane Thigpen, who taught:
in Rome, died in 1917, in her nine
ties. It was on a trip to her home
in Clinton when the Yankee:
troops came through, causing
dread and fear among all the
residents. Luckily, Sherman’s men:
apparently looked with favor om
the Thigpen family, and spared’
their livestock, including horses,
cattle and hogs, although showing’
no such consideration for many of’
the other Clintonites.
The Longfellow letter has lomg"
been a treasured possession of the:
family of Zach Houser, nephew: of’
the poetess Jane Thigpen.
