WASHINGTON
THE TREND AWAY from
the farm is threatening to dry
up many Georgia communities
and towns unless they can find
new sources of jobs for their
people.
The best hope for finding such
jobs lies in attracting new indus-
tries into these
economically
distressed
areas and
there is an
a g e n c y in
W ashington
which not only
has the author
ity, but actu-
ally is eager, to help do just
that. The Small Business Ad
ministration — revitalized under
the leadership of its new Demo
cratic Administrator, John E.
Horne of Alabama—can lend 80
per cent of the cost of establish
ing new industries up to a max
imum of $250,000 for each indi
vidual project. Mr. Home, who
is familiar with and wants to
help solve the economic prob
lems of the Southeast, says
Georgians have barely scratched
the surface of the SBA’s poten
tial for assisting them in this
regard.
* » ♦
UNDER THE SMALL Busi
ness Investment Act, the SBA
can make loans to local develop
ment companies to finance the
construction, conversion or ex
pansion of industrial plants and
shopping centers for ownership
or tenancy by small business
concerns. These loans are made
for 10 years at an interest rate
of five and one-half per cent or
lower and are repaid through
receipts from lease of the build
ings. The only requirement of
the local agency is that it put up
20 cents of every dollar spent on
the project.

i To date nine Georgia com
' munities — Colbert, Bartow, El
s lijay, White, Jefferson, Talla-
I poosa, Newton, Senoia and At
lanta—have taken advantage of
this program to borrow $1,468,-
i 242 in loans ranging in amount
from 851,000 to the maximum
; $250,000. Enterprises thus fi
nanced already have created 810
I new jobs and prospects are that
I their payrolls will increase as
i they grow.
The question naturally arises
as to why more towns have not
taken advantage of this made
to-order financing of industrial
development? The best answer
is that the previous Administra
tion did not see fit to publicize
or push the program and, as a
result, few communities know
about it.
♦ » »
THE SBA SAYS there already
are 150 local development com
panies in Georgia which are el
igible for loans. Mr. Horne and
his associates would like to do
business with all of them and
they presently are making plans
to contact each company, as well
as all state and local chambers
of commerce and planning agen
cies, to urge greater Georgia
participation in the program.
Anyone interested in further
details can obtain them by call
ing or writing the Atlanta Office
of the Small Business Adminis
tration at 90 Fairlie Street,
N.W., or the SBA itself at 811
Vermont Avenue in Washington.
I hope all of Georgia’s towns
and cities will take advantage
of this program and I shall be
pleased to assist them in every
way possible to do so.
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
Politics On Parade
By SID WILLIAMS
Reports in the daily press about
the meeting of political leaders
at the Garland Byrd home in
Reynolds on Sunday, March 19,
were not exactly accurate as to
the real purpose of the meeting,
or the events which transpired.
The writer was present, and this
column is written to correct any
erroneous impressions which
might have been given.
In the first place, every per
son invited, from Jim Gillis on
down, were there as considered
supporters of Byrd for governor
in 1962. And this includes Roy
Harris, George Smith, Frank
Twitty and Jack Ray, the leaders
of the Assembly fight against
Vandiver and Byrd. Os, these
four, Mr. Harris is the only one
who might have anything to
gain by supporting Marvin Grif
fin. But, in the meetng, Mr. Har
ris several times used the word
“We” in referring to what should
or should not be done in the
Byrd campaign. So, he, too, ap
parently, considers himself on
the Byrd side.
Lieutenant-Governor Byrd op
ened the meeting by saying that
those present were invited for
the purpose of discussing “our”
campaign next year. He stated
that he wanted everybody to say
what they pleased; argue, if they
wanted to, and, otherwise, speak
their minds on how best to win
in ’62.
Byrd went around the room,
calling cn each person to state
their opinions and give any ad
vice they wished. It is true that

Spicy Raisin Drops

Spicy Raisin Drops — crunchy with corn meal and tangy with
ginger — will soon be number one on your family s list of cookie
favorites.
Treat the cookie jar and the school lunch box to a tasty sur
prise. Fill them up with Spicy Raisin Drops—a sure hit with the
hungry horde constantly invading the kitchen for handouts.
These crisp spicy cookies can be mixed, ready to bake almost
before you know it. The reason’s no secret —it’s in the enriched
self-rising flour, coupled here with enriched self-rising corn
meal. The name “self-rising” means time and energy saved in
any recipe, for there is no need to measure and resist the
leavening and salt with the dry ingredients. The correct amounts
are already blended into the flour and corn meal. Besides sim
plicity and efficiency, enriched self-rising, products give Spicy
Raisin Drops extra nutritional values of iron, calcium and B
vitamins.
With such convenience, in a few quick steps you’ll have a cookie
jar full of these crunchy cookies with the zesty ginger flavor
Better make lots. They’re guaranteed to disappear—quick!

one news story stated, on this
matter. In fact, everybody agreed
that the 1962 Assembly was like
ly to pass some form of a bill
giving the legislature more pow
er ever the budget.
The news story which stated
that Byrd called the meeting in
efforts to make peace with the
legislative leaders was complete
ly erroneous.. So far as the writer
could see, these leaders weren’t
mad with Byrd at all. They, in
fact, gave him some good advice
on things to do.
All of the politicians present
were in complete agreement on
matters relating to organizing
the Byrd campaign; and most of
them agreed on the issues. Mr.
Harris thought that segregation
would be the main issue in the
campaign, and some agreed with
him, fully or to some extent.
A heavy majority of those
present stated that the Vandiver
platform of “Honesty and Effici
ency” in State government was
still liked by a large percentage
of the people, and that Byrd
shculd build his campaign around
this theme. This was particularly
true with the representatives
from North Georgia. Several
speakers voiced the opinion that
Governor Vandiver will go out of
office extremely popular.
One political writer wrote a
story in which he said that some
of the opinions expressed “could
be interpreted as critical of
Byrd.” This is absolutely untrue.
Not one single person voiced any
criticism of the Lieut.-Governor
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup enriched self-rising
corn meal
1 cup raisins
Messrs, Ray. Twitty, and Smith
were the most vocal concerning
the recent legislative fight on the
Appropriations Bill, but there
was NOT “a lot of arguing,” as
in the general meeting, or pri
vately, either, so far as we heard.
No phase of the coming cam
paign was put in concrete form
iat this meeting. Mr. Byrd will
; confer with many others before
I definitely deciding on organiza
| tional procedure, a platform and
I other matters. As we saw it, the
| main thing that was accomplish-
I ed was in the nature of joropa
i ganda effect. It didn’t hurt Byrd
I one bit for politicians from all
I sections of the state to see other
। politicians already lined up with
• the Lieutenant-Governor. In fact,
!it kinda’ started a bandwagon,
i and all politicians like to get on
I this kind of a wagon.
A top political leader of Tel-
I fair County summed up the Byrd
। chances for winning very suc
• cinctly. He said: “If we had to, we
I COULD carry Telfair for Marvin
Griffin, but it sure will be a
। lot easier to carry it for Garland
I Byrd.’’ And, as all politicians
know, as Telfair goes, so goes
I the state.

Easter And What
It Means
Easter is the springtime Chris
tian festival which honors the
resurrection, or rising from the
dead, of Jesus. In the north
Temperate Zone, Easter comes in
the early spring. It is the time
when flowers and warm sun and
green grass are beginning to'
push aside the snow and ice and!
dreary cold of winter. Even be- 1
fore the holiday had its religious)
meaning, people greeted spring!
with celebrations.
Easter take's its name in Eng
lish from that of an Anglo-Saxon
goddess, Eostre; who represented
light, or spring. The Anglo-Saxon
tribes held a festival in her hon
or every April.
In most Christian churches,
Easter marks the end of the for
ty-day observance of Lent. The
Catholic church and some pro
testant churches begin to prepare
for Eastor on Ash Wednesday.
From that day until the end of
(Lent, fasting, is prescribed,
special devotions are held, and
many entertainments and amuse
ments are given up. Holy week
(seven days before Easter) is a
time cf deep religious feeling
and worship. The protestant
churches commonly observe Eas
ter with special services, music,
and flowers.
Many Easter customs are
quaint, and others full of mean
ing. Just as the earth is dressed
in a new cloak of greenery, peo
ple often wear new clothes for
Easter. The idea of Easter eggs
came to us from ancient Egypt
and Persia. The eggs are a sign
of new life. Legend has it that
they are laid by the Easter rab-|

in 4-H has been Mary's "favorite all the way through.”
Orva Wynings, of Route 3, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, also began
4-H when she was 9 and has been devoted to it ever since. About bread
baking Orva says, "It has been a joy and satisfaction that I will use the
rest of my life.” She uses bread dough to make pizza that’s "a big hit
with my crowd.” Orva is a freshman at Bloomsburg State College.
Diana Watson, of Toccoa, Georgia, is a freshman at Georgia State
College for Women, and is majoring in Home Economics. Diana has
been in 4-H for 8 years, and her principal interests there have beer*
