From recent travels in various
isections of the state, the writer
has reached the conclusion that a
<rsai majority of Georgians are
heartily in favor of the proposed
law that employers withhold
state income tax from employees’
wages, just as is done for the
Federal government. Many news
papers have endorsed the idea,
as well as various civic clubs.
The primary reason for the pro
posal being looked upon with
favor is that it will collect State
income taxes from thousands of
people who have not been paying.
Business men say this outweighs
the extra bookkeeping state
withholding will cause.
Incidentally, the Revenue De
partment will set up only a small
percentage to be withheld, so
that there will be little possibility
of the Department having to pro
vide cumbersome refunds. But,
any payment, no matter how
small, will get taxpayers’ names
on the books, and the correctness
of the return can be checked
easily.

on a string?
BETTER SMILE when you ask her that 1 Washday
is really a workday for her. She strains to carry
out loads of wet clothes, stretches to hang them
up and take them down, strains to carry them
back into the house. And she’s burdened with
worry about the weather.
When she gets an electric clothes dryer — and
she. will!—she’ll simply pop the clothes into it
and turn a dial. Clean and gentle electric heat
will dry her clothes quickly, completely.
The cost? That’s the happiest part. Through
out the history of the electric industry, the price
of electricity has been generally downward. To
day, our customers pay only half as much for a
kilowatt-hour as they did 25 years ago.
High in value, low in cost, electricity is the
biggest bargain in your family budget, by far!
GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
A CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE
; । pressed the opinion on several oc-j
■ casions that nearly 25 million j
dollars a year could be saved inj
the State Department of Educa- i
tion if the governor, legislature,!
auditor, or somebody, would!
crack down against waste and
extravagance in the Department.
Now comes a legislative com
mittee which has put its finger on
one of the holes from which State
money is pouring out of the treas
ury, the possible padding of en
rollment reports by local school
systems. If the General Assembly
will seriously investigate the pre- I
liminary findings of the House-1
Senate Committee on Education, j
headed by Senator Wallace Jer-1
nigan, we predict they’ll come up!
with disclosures “to make your;
hair curl.”
We cite the following as an ex-1
ample of the William B. Harts- j
field (Mayor Os Atlanta) moves to [
abolish segregation in Atlanta: At I
the Southeastern Fair last week!
Negroes were drinking from the j
same water fountain as the white j
people, and nearby policemen i
took no notice. Lakewood Park,
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
| location of the SE Fair, is owned
and controlled by the City.
Bob Strubel, President of the
Chamber of Commerce in Toccoa
and guiding light of the furor
against Governor Vandiver about
the location of the inter-state
i highway through Northeast
j Georgia, , plans to run for the
I General Assembly next summer
I against Dick Gross, incumbent
-Representative who took Vandi-
I ver’s part in the controversy.
I Rumor in Toccoa says that the
i whole scheme was hatched up by
; supporters of former governor
; Marvin Griffin for the sole pur
ipose of embarrassing Vandiver.
! Reports are rife, also, that a well
, known Stephens County attorney
I egged the controversy on because
। he got mad with Vandiver when
j the Governor refused to order
f the State Patrol to dismiss a
! drunk driving charge against a
' close friend of this lawyer.
Leading citizens of Stephens
; deplore the fact that a few hot
! heads put the county way out
I on the limb with their wild and
irresponsible charges, and are
J hoping that the Governor won’t
' hold it against them. For their
information, we can tell them
that Vandiver is thoroughly
aware of everything behind the
[ situation and doesn’t blame
1 Stephens County as a whole.
The State Health Department
has made an economical move
and installed a telephone straight
line from their Atlanta office to
Milledgeville State Hospital. Con
sidering the number of calls
every day between the two
points, it’s a money saving idea.
Reports persist that former
Commissioner of Agriculture
Tom Linder is quietly moving
around over the state lining up
support for his old job, in the
event Commissioner Phil Camp
bell runs' for Governor in 1962.
Linder would not run, though,
if Campbell should decide to stay
where he is.
Speaking of Campbell, a lot of
people say that Phil has gained
strength since his recent an
nouncement that he might be a
candidate for Chief Executive in
'62. But, whether he will run or
not is “the 64 dollar question,”
which Campbell, himself, can’t
answer, yet.
The truth of the matter is that
come Spring of 1962 the boys
who make governors in this
state will get’ together and de
cide whether it’s Garland Byrd
or Phil Campbell who would be
most likely to whip Marvin Grif
fin, and then everybode will get
behind that man and put him in
office.
No politician of repute will ad
mit that this is what will happen,
but it’s just about as clear-cut
as that.
So, from now until after Janu
ary Ist, 1962, Campbell and Byrd,
both, can be expected to leave
no stone unturned to show that
one is stronger than the other.
Pay your money and take your
choice, folks.
(All of which would “be knock
ed into a cocked hat” if Herman
Talmadge should decide to run
for Governor. He wouldn’t have
any serious opposition, not even
Marvin Griffin.)

Conservation
By H. L. DAVIS
“Take care of your woodland
j and your woodland will take care
! of you.”
Our forests are common to most
all people in our area. A large
number of people fail to see the
forest because of the trees.
We need to take a long and
serious look at one of our Great
est Natural Resources.
Some of our forefathers recog
nized what our forest would mean
to future generations but others
failed to see the tremendous drain
our growing economy would place
on our timberlands. A logger sees
the forest as a source of jobs; a
banker may look upon timberland
as capital or investment; a fisher
man thinks of angling in a clear
forest stream; a water engineer
appraises forests for the part they
play in flood control.
Forests have these values and
many others. They provide the
bulk of the income for many

farms, through gum and timber
sales. The paper bags you carry
groceries home in, clothes you
wear, the house that we live in.
Without our forest the abundant
industry we live in would perish.
The small saplings of today
will furnish the saw logs, pulp
wood, poles and pilings and raw
materials for other manufactured
I products. Doing something to
protect and improve our forests is
more important than mourning
over what the past has done to
reduce them to their present state.
For any tree to do its best
growth or production it must have
a sufficient amount of space to
grow. The amount of water that
any tree can get is limited, so if
too many trees are spaced on too
small a plot all will suffer. Too
many timber owners fail to under
stand that failure to thin and kill
hardwood cull trees hurts rather
than helps the stand left. A proper
thinning will produce more gum
in fewer trees than can be pro
duced in crowded conditions. A
pine tree or several trees could
be growing where one cull oak
or gum tree now grows. These
are usually of no value to any
one. No good farmer will allow
weeds to grow in his cultivated
crops; yet the same farmer will
allow cull hardwoods to take over
his woodlands.
