Coosa Sets Pace
In Georgia For
Industry Growth
While awaiting his turn as
^principal speaker at the Coosa
’Valley Planning and Development
^Commission’s sth annual meeting,
Yield recently at Berry College in
.Jiame, Gov. Carl E. Sanders heard
(the commission report that in the
31 -county area 28 new industries
“were added and 51 existing plants
were expanded last year, provid
ijng a total of 2,401 new jobs.
In his opening remarks, the
'^Governor, who is banking heav
tily on increased industrialization |
>Xo boost Georgia’s economy dur
ing his administration, had this
'to say:
“If your sound approach to ec
onomic and industrial develop
®nent was emulated by all such
organizations in the state, our
*goal of sl-billion worth of new
wid expanded industry in the j
«ext three and one-half years
Would be much easier to reach.
"You have clearly demonstrat
ed proof of what can be accom
fplisbed when county leaders join
••together and work toward a com
anon goal. I would venture to say
’that your success is due a lion’s
share of the credit for pointing
4he way toward the merger of
•planning and combining services
across county lines.”
Emphasizing that “Georgia lies
■in a perfect position of becoming
B strategic part of the nation’s
•pace and missile development
program”, he said:
‘That is why 1 have urged the
‘>Georgia congressional delegation
.to exert every effort to obtain
•congressional authorization for
Vie proposed Cross-Georgia Wat
erway to link the Gulf of Mexico

THE DWINDLING gold sup
ply recently prompted the Unit
ed States to take steps which
hopefully will prevent further
undermining of the dollar.
Viewing the situation as a ma
jor financial problem for the en
tire world as well as this coun-
try, the Ad
ministration
set higher in
terest rates on
short - term
b or rowing,
tightened up
on longer-term
exports of
U. S. money,
and arranged to borrow from
the International Monetary Fund
if necessary.
This, it is hoped, will slow
down the flow of gold—and the
resulting weakening of the dol
lar — from United States re
serves. The gold supply already
has dropped to a 24-year low of
$15.7 billions, with only $3.5
trillions in so-called “free” gold
ever the $12.2 billions required
by law to back U. S. currency.
Nations of Europe, which are
thriving economically as never
■before, could decide they want
to demand gold for their dollar
credits, and with foreign claims
on gold now totaling about $25.4
trillions, it would be virtually im
possible to meet their demands.
•• ■ ♦
IN SHORT, the weakness of
the dollar can in large part be
traced to the increasingly heavy
burden it is required to carry.
At a meeting last fall of world
bankers, it was generally agreed
that much of the United States’
money troubles came from heavy
spending abroad.
The recent actions of the Ad
ministration may to some de
gree relieve the gold and dollar
problem, but other steps could
be taken which in my opinion
would help even more. (
fw cue .tiling; we could strive
with the Atlantic Ocean.
“That is also why I have cham
pioned the creation of an orderly-!
planned strip city on the Georgia j
coast, and the development of a j
deep-space launching site for St.
Catherine’s Island between Sa
vannah and Brunswick.
“And, it is why I am interested
in the creation of a technical and
scientific information center at
one of our state institutions, pre
perably Georgia Tech, to gather,
analyze, classify, store and dis
seminate all scientific and tech
nical information as it is deve
loped from research and exper
ience.
“The realization of these pro
jects will point the way to future
growth and prosperity the likes
of which this state has never
known. I, for one, believe that we
can accomplish them.”
Some Cold War
Veterans Eligible For
Employment Benefits
Federal employment preference
has been extended to some Cold
War veterans, according to Pete
Wheeler, Director, Georgia De
partment of Veterans Service.
Veterans who received the
Armed Forces Expeditionary
Medal after July 1, 1958, are
granted federal employment pre
ference under a Congressional act
of 1944.
1 The medal, granted at the dis-
I cretion of the Joint Chiefs of
’ Staff, has toeen authorized for
servicemen who participated in
the following actions: Lebanon,
■ July - November, 1958; Vietnam,
i beginning July, 1958; Quemoy
i and Matsu Islands, August 1958 -
• June 1963; Taiwan Straits, Au
gust 1958 - January 1959; Congo,
» beginning June 1960; Laos, be-
. to balance the budget. The Unit
. ed States has been spending be
-1 yond its means, piling up mul
• ti-million dollar deficits one af
ter another, year after year.
Also, our favorable trade bal
. ance is being offset by exces
. sively pouring out foreign aid
money and by the cost of main
taining large military establish
ments in our allied countries
which now are able to share
more of their own defense bur
den.
♦ » ♦
U. S. AID to our allies in
Europe since World War II to
tals approximately S3B billions.
The American people now
spend about $5 billion a year
aiding other countries, often in
wasteful and ineffectual pro
grams, as pointed out by the
Clay Study Committee. On the
other hand, other NATO coun
tries spend about half as much
and mostly for the promotion of
trade.
The United States pays almost
all the bill for the defense of the
free world, and this, of course,
accounts for another big drain
on our dollars. We run up a de
fense budget of more than SSO
billion a year, amounting on the
average to about $290 pel’ per
son, while all NATO nations
combined budget only about sl7
billion for defense, or about s6l
per average citizen.
Thus, the U. S. keeps export
ing more dollars than we bring
in from foreign trading, the gold
supply dwindles and fai.a in the
dollar suffers accordingly.
But it seems to me that our
European friends, instead of
fretting over the dollar, could
better concern themselves with
paying more of their own de
fense costs and sharing more of
the foreign aid burden.

WHY YOUR HUSBAND NEEDS
A YEARL Y CHECKUP
DROP _ oq _ DROP if you have been nagging your hus
band to go for an annual checkup —-
"70 you are right. There’s been.a six per
- 60 cent drop in the heart disease rate
Icq among men 45 to 64, according to the.
American Heart Association. And spe-
40 " cialists point to the yearly medical exam
30 - as the reason for the decrease.
20 Statistics show the biggest improve*
in ment — 44 per cent less — in hyper*
•0 tension caused deaths, and 22 per cent
0 • a ms: in stroke cases.
There’s still much work to be done, however, in prevention of
heart attacks caused by atherosclerosis or hardening of the ar
teries. The rate for this increase is four per cent. While no posi
tive cause or cure has yet been established for the nation’s num- ।
ber one killer, certain preventive measures have been proved to
be valuable. Here are some. When you send your husband for his
checkup, tell him to be sure it includes:
1. Serum cholesterol teat 4. Blood count
2. Electrocardiogram 5. For smokers, a
3. Chest X-ray “vital capacity” test
6. For weekend exercisers, an
“exercise tolerance” electrocardiogram.
On the serum cholesterol factor, many wives are following the
advice of the American Heart Association, which recommends
“the reduction of fat consumption under medical supervision, with
reasonable substitution of polyunsaturated fats.” This means
cooking or baking with a polyunsaturated vegetable oil like corn,
cotton or safflower oil, which, incidentally, has the highest poly
unsaturated content of all, and using margarines high in polyun
saturates. Trim fats off meat — and increase use of fish, poultry
and veal.
Studies at leading medical centers and mast recently at the New
York City Department of Health’s “Anti-Coronary Club” indicate
that such measures —a prudent diet and modified fat intake —
। do make a difference in preventing heart disease.
Tension, obesity, high cholesterol — ail of these are the sus
pected villains in the high heart attack rate. Work on all the sus
pected factors — just as you did on getting your husband to the
physician for his annual checkups. Statistics show that the effort
pays off.
