Gov. Carl Sanders Gives Report On
Educational Progress In Georgia
Gov. Carl E. Sanders, who has given education top priority in
his administration as he promised he would when campaigning for
the office, is well pleased with the progress made in that field dur
ing the past two-and-a-half years.
He made this clear the other
day in a speech before the state
convention of. Lions ilnternation
al, held in Atlanta. Said the gov
ernor:
“You are well familiar with the
broad steps which all Georgians
have supported to turn this goal
.into reality —a 72 per cent
boost in the higher education
budget ... a 43 per cent increase
in state funds for the public
schoolsschools . . . the allocation
of a total of over $1.2-billion over
the life of this administration
for the education and training of
Georgians.
“Today, however, I would like
to talk about some of the lesser
known advances, the small, but
vital, programs that have brought
our new look in education down
to the individual child.
“As parents, you well know
that all of the new buildings and
better pai dteachers and more ef
ficiency-organized school systems
matter very little indeed, unless
that improvement reaches your
child and encourages him to
learn more and to develop to the
extent of his ability.
“The very foundation of edu-
No Tax Increase
Needed By Next
Governor — Sanders
On the subject of future state
taxes, Gov. Carl E. Sanders had
this to day at a recent Atlanta
meeting of the County Officers’,
Association.
“Because of Georgia’s present '
economic outlook, because of the I
legislation, we have passed and!
the precedents we have set, and i
because of the economical re-'
alignment of state government as
a result of the (Bowdoin) Effi
ciency Commission’s work, I be
lieve the next governor of our
state will truly be in an enviable
position.
“I think that owning to these
factors — in addition to the fact
■of our current booming economy
and our tremendous rate of in
dustrial growth and expansion —
there is simply no earthly need
for the issue of a tax increase to
'enter into the next gubernatorial
campaign.
“The opportunities have at
fast been created to make needed
date funds available without fur
iher taxes. Therefore, in my opin- |
ion the proper issues to which
»ur next governor must address
himself are, first, how to further
improve this favorable fiscal ar
rangement he will inherit, and
second, how he can show this
same consideration for the gover
nor who will follow him."

nected with their salons habitu
ally assume an air of furtive
secrecy reminiscent of a spy
picture. As a result, when the
showings do take place, the re
action (whether favorable or
no) is invariably one of
surprise.
But back in 1958, the fashion
world was really knocked for a
loop! That was the year
Givenchy, the noted Parisien
couturier, had his mannikins
model in exotically styled icf.es.'
According to Givenchy, his mo
tive was merely to save time
and to complement his collec
tion. But the fashion world was
all abuzz! Little did Givenchy
realize that he had sparked a
trend that was to lead to the
revival of the wig as a fashion
accessory.
Actually, wigs have been
around for a long time. A look
at history shows that they date
back as far as 4,000 B.C. to the
land of the Pharoahs. In more
modern times, wigs were in
common use in this country
during colonial times. From
that period until just recently,
however, they had been used in
this country mainly by ac
tresses (Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jill St.
John, Carol Channing, Lena
Horne. Betty Furness, to name
a few) and by those women
•who needed wigs because of
Joss or damage to their hair.
Today an estimated 4’i mil
lion women in the United States
own wigs — and the number is
growing every day. Now, it is
■customary for most of the name
•couturiers to have a wig or
hairpiece specially designed for
every model showing his
■clothes. More significant* how-
cation, in school and out, is ac
cess to the accumulated know
ledge of human history, know
ledge that is found in books.”
Sanders said during his admin
i istration “for the first time in
• Georgia’s history, every one of
our 159 counties has qualified for
state aid for public libraries.
Georgia now has 34 cooperative
library systems — the largest
number of regional libraries in
any state in the Union. Eighty
I bookmobiles are serving 131 Geor
, gia counties.”
i The governor told how Georgia
I is setting the pace for the nation
! in other areas of education, in-
I eluding the Governor’s Honors
Program which reaches the most
gifted high school juniors and
seniors; summer reading programs
for first graders who cannot read
well, and state scholarship and
state college loan programs.
Gov. Sanders also said Georgia
now rinks as the nation’s leader
in vocational education, with en
rollment in the state expected to
i-erease by 25,000 stucentes dur
ing his administration. Some 80
' new' programs were added.
■ “When I took office, the State
। of Georgia had six area vocation
i ■ l-technical schools.” he said “In
the first two years of my admin
istration. nine more were added,
and before I leave office in 1967,
28 area schools will be in opera
tion.”
Mrs. H. E. Burkhalter
Is Buried At Spring
Hill Friday Afternoon
Funeral services were held in
the Spring Hill Methodist Church
Friday at 2:30 p.m. for Mrs. Her
bert Earl Burkhalter, 83, the for
mer Miss Evie Stewart, who died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Jimmy Pitts, in Wheeler County I
last Tuesday after a long illness. I
Services were conducted by the i
Rev. James Moore, assisted by
the Rev. Larry Williams, and bur

Pallbearers were O. C. Adams.
Richard Sammons, Eschol Clark.
J. B. Bass, Charles Ussery and
Johnny Clements.
Mrs. Burkhalter was born in
DeKalb County on January 30,
1882, the daughter of Samuel El
lis and Margaret Wylie Stewart.
Burkhalter. She was married to

ever, is the fact that with the
price of wigs now within reach
of every woman’s pocket book
hundreds of thousands of
housewives, career girls, society
figures — fashion conscious
women of all ages and walks of
life are enjoying the conveni
ence and practicality of owning
a wig.
Wigs are of two basic types-—
synthetic and human hair,
which is the more desirable.
Fashion Tress, the leading com
pany in the wig field, uses only
the highest quality human hair
which is purchased from peas
ant girls in European countries.
The girls under contract to sell
their hair protect the quality
by wearing kerchiefs to avoid
the sun’s rays. They never use
lacquer or other chemicals. Con
sequently, the hair in a Fash
ion Tress hairpiece is the
strongest, softest and most lus
trous in the world. The average
wig represents a three year
growth of hair.
After the hair is cut, it is
shipped to a factory where a
master wig craftsman takes
over. The wig making profes
sion is the second oldest in the
world and its craftsmen jeal
ously guard the secret of wig
making. The method is care
fully passed on from one gene
ration to the next, so there are
whole families that engage in
the art. It usually takes from
one to three months to make a
Fashion Tress wig.
The fashion world has now
fully assimilated the wig. What
is interesting to see is how
other areas are adapting to it.
For example, in financial
circles, there are some places
where a woman can finance a
wardrobe of wigs or get a loan
from a bank to buy them. Wigs
can also be bought through
Diner’s Club, American Ex
press or Uni-Card in soma
cities. If a women can prove
she needs a wig for cosmetic
purposes, she can even deduct
the cost from her income tax!

Senator Talmadge Declares Georgia
Cities Mus! Have More Revenue
U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge told the opening session of the
Georgia Municipal Association’s 32nd annual convention, held on
Jekyll Island, that “new sources of revenue must be found for Geor
gia municipalities if they are to solve mounting financial problems
and retain local self -government.
Asserting that Georgia cities
“have too long had to go hat-in
hand to the state and federal gov
ernments for handouts to meet
the increasing demand for muni
cipal services,” the senator de
clared:
“The cities of Georgia must be
provided the means with which
to cast off this beggar-like role.
You have the will to fulfill the
responsibilities of good local gov
ernment. It is imperative that
you be given the wherewithal.
“The tremendous growth of the
state’s urban areas resulting from
the continuous and rapid migra
tion from farm and rural com
munities has increased musicipal
fiscal problems many times over.
With approximately six out of
every ten Georgians residing in
urban areas, greater than ever
before are the pressures for more
and improved services.”
Citing the growing demand for
sufficient water and sewer ser
vice, street improvements and
traffic relief, adequate police pro
tection and good schools with
well-paid faculties, Sen. Talmadge
said that in order for Georgia

“This is a matter of the great
