according to Willie M. Dekle, gen

Organizational concepts, 4—Or
ganization and functions of the
board of directors, s—Formal and
informal organization, 6—Charac
teristics of effective and ineffec
tive organization, 7—How to as
sure delegation, B—Four phases of
management, 9—lntroduction to
managing changes, 10—Require

“The principles, techniques,
skills, and tools of management
were broken down to show how
they can be analyzed and applied
to everyday management of a
production credit association,” he
observed.
The Vidalia Production Credit
Association, of which Mr. Dekle
is general manager, makes short
and intermediate-term loans to
farmers in Toombs, Tattnall, Mont
gomery and Wheeler counties with
the principal office in Vidalia and

Wheeler County In 113ih Place In
Per Capita Income Over Georgia
A study of Georgia’s income by
counties shows that in 1960
Wheeler County was in 113th
place in per capita income among
counties in the state.
That year residents of the coun
ty had an income of $1,040 each,
or about 47 percent of the na
tional average.
The study of income by coun
ties was made by Clio Crosby
Norris of the University of Geor
gia’s Bureau of Business Research
with the aid of a grant from the
Institute of Community and Area
Development. It includes an an
alysis of individual income for
the years 1958 and 1960.
A breakdown of the state’s in
come by counties has been made
for only six years since 1939. The
current study shows that in 1960
per capita income in Georgia
ranged from a low of 29 percent
of the national average to a high
of 150 percent.
There is a heavy concentration
of personal income in the metro
politan and other urban areas of
the state, but this does not neces
sarily mean that “the poor are
getting poorer,” the study points

Gov. Sanders Pleased With Firsi
Try As Georgia's No. 1 Salesman
Taking up where his predeces
sor left off as Georgia’s No. 1
salesman of industrialization and
tourism, Gov. Carl E. Sanders
is well pleased with the results
of his first outing as a top drawer
drummer.
Returning from a recent good
will visit to New York, which
he described as “worthwhile and
encouraging,” the Governor said:
“I am happy to report to the
people of Georgia that our image
today in America is better than
it has ever been. Georgia is recog
nized as one of the fastest grow
ing states in the nation. Our peo
ple are credited with being states
manlike.
“Everyone I contacted in the
field of business and industry is
anxious and interested in locat
ing plants in Georgia. While vis
iting top industrialists in all fields
in New York, I spoke on several
occasions and made many per
sonal calls on some of America’s
top companies.
“I am happy at all times to go
and to sell Georgia to people in
other parts of our country.
“It is extremely gratifying to
me as Governor to see the tre
mendous response we are receiv
ing from people throughout the
country when we tell them what
is happening in Georgia and what
we are looking forward to in the
future.”
Among his appearances in New
York was an address to a dinner
gathering of bankers, industrial
ists and businessmen in which he
' out.
) On the contrary, the number of
i counties in Georgia where per
' capita income is less than half
the state average has dropped 38
■ in 1947 to only six of 1960.
, The study indicates that Geor
gia is more dependent than the
average state on federal spend-1
- ing, on trade wages and salaries,]
• and on proprietors’ income, and, 1
■ is relatively less dependent on|
i manufacturing wages and salaries
! and on property income.
i The state as a whole has not
increased its share of the national
■ income since 1955, when it stood
at 1.6 percent. The per capita in-
i come for Georgians is slightly
1 1 higher now than it was in 1955
■ ; only because the percetnage of
) i the nation’s population which
i’ lives in Georgia has dropped
! I slightly. In 1955, Georgia claimed
i i 2.23 percent of the nation’s popu-
] lation. In 1960 the fiugres stood
: i at 2.19 percent. The study of in
■ come by counties is published in
: the current issue of Georgia Bus
• iness, a publication of the Uni
j versity’s Bureau of Business Re
; search.
ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1963
described progress in Georgia. It
is due, Sanders told them, to four
factors — economic growth, hum
an relations, business incentives
and public education.
“The economic growth of Geor
gia has been massive, yet it is
just crossing the threshold of the
i Space Age,” he said.
After reviewing in detail the
great strides Georgia has made
in virtually every area of busi
ness and government, Gov. San
ders declared:
“With our four million citizens
properly educated and trained,
with Georgians long accustomed
to a full day’s work and a full
day’s effort, with the assistance
we can now give industry through
our reorganized Department of
Industry and Trade, and with our
new cooperative program utilizing
the industrial development, spec
ialists at the Georgia Institute of
Technology, there can be no ser
ious doubt of the growth and
progress ahead for Georgia.
‘‘Hundreds of industrialists and
business executives already have
learned a significant truth which
I know many others, perhaps in
cluding some of you here tonight,
soon will know also.
“And that is: For greater prof
its, let industry look to Georgia.”

Korean Vets Can
Now Convert
GI Insurance
Korean veterans can save
premium costs by converting gov
ernment policies to a new type
term or permanent insurance, ac
cording to Pete Wheeler, Direc
tor, Georgia Department of Vet
eans Service.
Veterans — most of the Korean
and post-Korean service — whose
government policy number is pre
ceded by the letters “RS” are af
fected by the change. There are
approximately 90,000 Korean vet
erans in Georgia, Mr. Wheeler
said.
Major drawback to the conver
sion is that the new type term
insurance is not renewable after
the policyholder reaches 50.
The new type term is up to
two-thirds cheaper than the rate
on the originally-issued policy. A
veteran might convert his policy
to the new term, at the reduced
rate, then convert that policy to
permanent insurance before he
reaches 50.
Or, he has the option of imme
diately converting his “RS” poli
cy, which is non-participating,
with rates increased every five
years, to permanent type insur
ance.
Policyholders who convert to
the new type term or permanent
insurance by September 13, 1963,
will receive a special one-third
dividend, according to the Vet
erans Administration. Average
dividend will be SIOO, but the
veteran’s age and the policy’s age
are the determining factors.
The Georgia Department of
Veterans Service offers veterans
assistance in handling of isur
ance and any other veterans mat
ter, at no cost. The nearest field
office is located at Mcßae. Its
manager is John Hall.
