With campaign time less than
four months away, we thought
nur readers might be interested
in having a concise breakdown of
those State officeholders to be
nominated in the ‘September De
mocratic primary, Which is tant
amount to election, the Republi
,®ans to the contrary. The list fol
lows, not necessarily in order of
importance.
I— United States Senator, Her
man E. Talmadge, 1 iricumbent: cer
tain to be a candidate,' certain to
be re-elected.
2— Governor, two leading can
didates and likel'Y the Only two
of any consequence, Lieut.-Gover
nor Garland T. Byrd, and former
Governor S. Marvin Griffin: The
smart money is oh Byrd if they
are the only two major candidates.
3—Lieutenant-Governor, a sur
plus of candidates, including Peter
Zack Geer, Carl Sanders, Jimmy
Dykes, Culver Kidd, John Shef
field, and no telling how many
more: Geer leads and is likely to
remain in that position.

WESTGATE SHOPPING CENTER IN MACON
The look is beauty. The mood is gay. The
climate — thanks to electricity —is pleasant
as perpetual Spring!
f • *
Westgate is as well turned out as a fashion
able womah. And like a woman, has its beauty
secrets. The most important is that, from
covered mall to cooking facilities, Westgate is
powered by clean, quiet, flameless electricity.
That means it will remain young and up
to-date, for engineers and builders have found
the newest, finest, most economically main
tained ’business installations are all-electric.
If you are a shopper or a visitor, we hope
you will enjoy Westgate—the whole -P/racre
structure with its 31 shops.
If you are a builder, we hope you’ll ask us
questions. For with almost 2,000 all-electric
commercial buildings now in Georgia and with
30 morie being added every month, there must
be a mighty good reason.

ning for re-election and a cinch
to win, probably without opposi
tion.
s—Secretary of State, Ben Fort
son, incumbent, another man sure
to be chosen again.
6—State Treasurer, Jack Ray,
recently-appointed incumbent may
have opposition from Repr. Mac
Barber, of Jackson County. Mr.
Barber is making a survey now
and will announce his decision in
about a month.
7—Attorney - General, Eugene
Cook, incumbent, will seek re
election and not likely to have
serious opposition.
B—Comptroller-General Zack D.
Cravey, incumbent, has two an
nounced opponents, James L.
Bentley and Bruce Edwards: Ed
wards ran for the office four years
ago and did surprisingly well, but
is considered to have received an
anti-Cravey vote. Many leading
politicos pick Bentley hands down.
9—Superintendent of Schools,
Claude Purcell, incumbent: May
have opposition from Repr. Battle
Hall, of Floyd County. Dr. Pur
cell is conosidered mighty strong

i in his job.
। 10—Commissioner of Labor Ben
T. Huiet, incumbent: Considered
. unbeatable for this position.
11—Public Service Commission
• er: Only member who must run
is William Kimbrough, recently
appointed to the job. Mr. Kim
brough is likely to have opposi
tion from Repr. Carl Barrett, of
Cherokee County. Kimbrough
. would be favored to win, since
• he has deep rooted ties with the
Talmadge family and is a veteran
I politician.
’ 12—Supreme Court Justices:
* Henry Duckworth and Joe Quil
-1 lian must seek re-election. Not
likely to be opposed.
13—Court of Appeals Judges:
Due to the unusual number of ap
pointments the Governor has had
for these posts, five incumbents
must seek re-election. They are:
Homer Eberhardt, Robert H. Jor
dan, Robert L. Russell, Robert
Hall and John Sammons Bell.
There has been talk of some of
these new judges having opposi
tion, but a potential candidate
would think long and hard be
fore taking any of them on. In
the first place, he would have to
finance his campaign practically
by himself, for no big money ever
gets contributed to judicial candi
dates. Secondly, in taking on one
judge, the aspirant would in es- 1
feet, be taking on all 16 members!
of both Courts, since they custom
arily all stick together and sup
port each other. Also, the Bar, in
general, supports incumbent judg
es. logis has it, then, that all five
Appeals Judges will get by with
out serious opposition, perhaps
none at all.
14—Congressmen: First District,
Elliott Hagan has done such a
good job that no formidable can
didate would dare take him on.
Second District, J. L. Pilcher is
likely to have opposition, perhaps
more than one opponent, but is]
considered a safe bet to win. Third]
District, E. L. Forrester is unbeat-;
able. Fourth District, Jack Flynt]
also, has no problems. Fifth Dis-

Game Stocking Good Only
Under Certain Conditions
Under stocking is an effort of man to increase a
game supply on a range by releasing game on it.
This principal of game management was most pre
valent in this country between 1930 and 1950, when
many state game farms poured pen-raised game into
areas where existing game supplies could not meet
the hunting demand.
Impressive stocking statistics—compiled by
state game and fish departments—gave "nu
merical evidence” of stocking as an effective
game management tool.
But many of these stocking programs were un
successful and great numbers of birds and animals
were stocked with no visible evidence of an in
crease in game supplies.
Man is no good at second-guessing nature. It’s im
possible to beat her at her own game.
Nature herself often “overstocks” the fields
and streams; large numbers of animals are born
into an area each breeding season but natural
factors reduce them to the carrying capacity of
the land.
A game habitat is capable of supporting only so
much game and no more. Good habitat can usually
support a large game population; poor range sup
ports only a small crop, if any.
It’s like growing cattle in good and bad pas
tures. To the cattleman, good pasture means
good healthy stock. On the other hand, a poor
pasture will grow poor cattle.
Indiscriminate stocking in inadequate habitat is
often a waste of time and money. Releasing game
animals or birds in unsuitable areas diverts money
from valuable management programs.
But game stocking pays off under certain con
ditions: (1) when a good game area has been
depopulated by severe conditions; (2) when
areas are suitable for game species and. (3)
when an area is overhunted and the breeding
stock eliminated.
Os course, it is always possible to begin popula
tions of wildlife or fish in fields and woodlands or
water where they never existed simply because none
was ever present.
The Game and Fish Commission, through it re
search and game management divisions has been
able, through the years, to build game populations
to large numbers.
Enforcement, too, plays a vital role in the preser
vation and growth of wildlife and fish supplies.

That’s the list of all elective
State jobs to be “up for grabs”.

The Veterans Corner
Here are authortiative answers;
by the Veterans Administration to i
questions from former servicemen '
and their families:
Q —- How long must a woman ]
have been married to a World I
War I veteran before the VA will ]
consider her a widow if he dies? ;
A— She must have been mar
ried to him for 5 years unless (a)
a child was born to them, in
which case there is no time factor ■
needed or (b) unless she married I
[him before December 14, 1944.]
The similar date for World War!
II veterans is January 1, 1957, and]
for veterans of the Korean Con-1
flict, it will be February 1, 1965.1
Q — If a veteran names his ]
mother as the beneficiary of his i
GI insurance policy and then mar-'
ries, is his wife protected?
A— The veteran will have to
notify the VA if he wishes to
name his wife as his beneficiary, i
Full details may be obtained at:
any VA office.
Q — How many hospitals does
] the VA manitain outside conti
i nental United States?
j A— The VA hospitals in each
। State in the Union, except Alaska
and Hawaii, and in the Common-
1
wealth of Puerto Rico. In other
U.S. possessions and in foreign
countries the VA contracts with
i existing hospitals to place veterans ]
j should the need arise.
Q — Are the widows of Con-1
federate veterans eligible for pen-;
sion from the United States Gov-]
ernment?
A— Since July, 1958, widows
I of Confederate veterans have been
! eligible for pensions.

| Boosts Georgia's
Industry Program
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Georgia’s]
industrial development programi
received a big boost the other day]
! with the announcement by Gov.]
] Ernest Vandiver that Litton In-]
] dustries, Inc., of Beverly Hills,]
] Calif., plans to build a $4-million‘
] plant in the Tucker-Stone Moun-;
] tain Industrial District near At
! lanta. It will be Georgia’s first
' major electronics plant.
j The plant, which will initially
; employ 500 persons, eventually
! will expand its capital outlay to]
I sl6-million and employ some 2,-|
000 workers, it was pointed out.]
Construction of the first unit is l
expected to begin by late summer
i or fall of this year. It will occupy
. a 50-acre site.
“Just last year, in a report to
I the Southern Governors’ Confer
] ence in Nashville,” Vandiver said
•in making the announcement at
i a recent luncheon in Atlanta, “I
j emphasized that the South could!
j further strengthen its economic
] position through the selection of
industries which offer our people
a more substantial wage.
“Certainly, Litton —a major
company in military, industrial
! and commercial electronics — is
I such an industry. Because of the
complex and technical nature of]
its products, many of. its employ-}
ees must be highly skilled scien-|
tific and technical workers.
“Yet, that is one of the reasons ।
Litton picked Georgia and DeKalb
County. This state, and particu
larly this area, has an abundance
of technically-trained people cap
able of manning Litton’s produc- ]
tion lines.’’
Forest fires in Georgia in- j
