Georgia Holds Southern Lead
In Value Os Pulpwood Harvest
Purchasers of pulpwood harvested in Georgia and deliver
ed to pulp and paper mills in 1966 totaled $125,962,000, ac
cording to a report by H. J. Malsberger of Atlanta, general
manager of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Associa
tion.
The total for Georgia last year was two per cent greater
than the value reported for 1965, he said, and marked the
19th consecutive year that the state has held top place as the
South’s leading producer of pulpwood. Mr. Malsberger stress
ed that 80 per cent of this wood is purchased from farmers
and other individual landowners.
The figures are based upon the results of a 12-state pulp
wood production survey made by the U.S. Forest Service
Experiment Stations at Asheville, NC., and New Orleans,
La., in cooperation with SPCA.
Pulpwood was produced in all but two of Georgia’s 159
counties. The three leading counties, and the value of pulp
wood shipped from each, were: Wayne, $3,943,080; Ware,
$3,716,520 and Clinch, $3,266,280.
Georgia’s share in the 1966 production of pulpwood raw
material for the pulp and paper industry was part of another
all-time high for the South as a whole. Value of the region’s
harvest last year totaled $661,224,000, a gain of seven per cent
over 1965, the previous high.
Mr. Malsberger emphasized that in 1966 the South account
ed for nearly 61 per cent of the nation’s total production of
pulpwood. He noted also that the extent of the market is
indicated by the fact that pulpwood is harvested in 90 per cent
of the counties of the South.

I Talmadge Lauds
Land Bank For
Aiding Farmers
’ | Joining in the observance of
the 50th anniversary of the Fed-
■ eral Land Bank system, U. S.
’j Senator Herman E. Talmadge de
i dared without the large amounts
lof capital on reasonable terms
! which the bank has made avail
| able “agricultural advancement in
[ Georgia would not have been pos-
I sible.”
He was principal speaker at the
annual stockholders meeting of
the Federal Land Bank Associa
tion of Gainesville held in con
junction with the system’s golden
anniversary. The Gainesville As
sociation is the largest in the
| Third Farm Credit District, com-1
' prised of 12 Northeast Georgia,
j counties.
। Because the bank made money,
available under conditions geared /
to the needs of the farmer, Sen.
Talmadge said, “farmers were,
able to buy new machinery. They
were able to expand. They were
able to make use of some of the '
fruits of an ever - growing tech
nological society.”
The Georgia senator and form
er governor, himself a farmer,
pointed out that prior to the ad
vent of the Federal Land Bank
in 1917 farmers were not able to
operate in borrowing money or
in buying or selling the way or
dinary businessmen could. Said
he:
“Our increasingly industrializ
ed society was not geared, fi
nancially speaking, to 20th Cen
tury farm needs. Then, as now,
the farmer needed larger amounts
of capital if he were to modernize
his operation.
“With the passage or the Fed
eral Farm Loan Act, however, the
farmer had his own place to bor
row money. He could acquire
loans at interest rates he could
afford to pay and on a satisfactory
time schedule ... It is well to
contemplate where Georgia agri
culture would be today were it
not for the fortunate and timely
appearance of the Land Bank.”
Referring to the transition from
agriculture to industry in Georgia
and the migration from farms to
cities, Sen. Talmadge asserted
that these conditions have multi-
plied the problems of farmers.
: However, he pointed out, “thanks
to sufficient capital and amazing
scientific advances, our farmers,
ever willing to produce. have
been able to answer the call for
much larger amounts of food and
fiber, for ourselves and for the
. food needs of the world.’’
After highly praising the pro
ductive efficiency of the Ameri
can farmer, the senator concluded
by saying:
“We must anticipate the future
of American agriculture, and we
must pledge ourselves to the con
tinuance of the family farm and
I the rewards of farm life in Amer
ica. We must see to it that rural
communities do not perish in
Georgia. We must see to it that
Georgia continues to recognize
the importance of her agricutlural
resources.”

Several additional and expand
-led benefits for veterans' widows
have been included in veterans’
I legislation recently enacted by
Congress, says Veterans Service
i Director, Pete Wheeler.
The Veterans Pension and Re-
I adjustment Assistance Act of 1967
I provides an average over-all cost
’ of living increase of 5.4 per cent
I for all veterans, their widows and
children, receiving pensions un
der the so called “New Law” as
well as providing a substantially
’ greater increase for widows and
| widows with children in low in
i come categories.
| Mr. Wheeler said, “This law
prfovides a maximum of S7O
monthly for widows with no chil
dren; SBO monthly for widows
with one child; and S4O monthly
for one child in his own right
| with sl6 per month allowed for
each additional child.”
Other provisions up pensions of
, Spanish - American War. Civil
j War and Indian War widows to
j S7O a month.
Widows of veterans of all wars
I are eligible to receive SSO a month
। in addition to pension :f they are
jin need of regular aid and at
| tendance of another person.
Widows will be permitted to
I deduct amounts paid for last ill
| ness and burial of a veteran or
i the child Os the veteran in com
| puting income for pension pur
■ poses.
Mr. Wheeler added, “Another
' very important provision liberal
i izes the marriage requirements in
। order for a widow to receive a
I pension. Now the 5-year require
। ment has been reduced to one
year for any period of time if a
child was born to the marriage.”
These provisions of the new law
were effective Sunday, October 1,
1967.
Field office managers of the
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service can assist widows of vet
erans on matters relating to the
new law. The nearest field office
is located at Mcßae. Its manager
is H. B. Barnes. Jr.

Maddox To Seek
; Tigher Laws On
r
! Highway Safety
Understandably disturbed over
j Georgia’s rising traffic death toll.
। Gov. Lester G. Maddox has an
nounced a legislative package of
; traffic safety recommendations
' which he said he believes “will go
a long way toward reducing traf
। sic fatalities and highway acci
dents.”
। j Maddox announced the recom
, mendations, based on a lengthy
।! study by the Governor’s Commit
[ j tee on Traffic Safety, at a news
I conference. He said they will be
'presented to the 1968 session of
the Georgia General Assembly.
The governor also announced a
series of nine public hearings on
the recommendations to inform '
the people of their importance ■
and “to permit the average citi
zen to make his thoughts known ;
... It is my hope that everyone i
| who possibly can will attend the
I hearing nearest him and lend full
| support to the efforts of the com
‘ mittee to give Georgia the best
[possible program of traffic safe-
I ty.”
j The first hearing will be held in ।
| Augusta on Oct. 2. Subsequent
'hearings will be in Savannah, Oct.
3; Waycross, Oct. 4; Albany, Oct.
i 5; Columbus, Oct. 6; Rome. Oct. ,
I 9; Gainesville, Oct. 10; ?4acon,
Oct. 11 and Atlanta, Oct. 12. I
Gov. Maddox said he will con-
I duct a conference on traffic safe
ty in Atlanta on Dec. 16. The
I conference, he said, “will act in
(concert with the efforts of the
j committee.”
Included in the proposed pack
। age of traffic safety legislation
j are a driver training course in [
high schools throughout the state, I
; an implied consent law for cases !
;of driving under the influence j
land a requirement that each :
traffic court in the state report
all traffic convictions to the State
Deparment of Public Safety.
Other recommendations cal! for
a special operator’s license for
motorcyclists, a point system
which would specify regulations
governing the revocation of li
censes, a requirement of reflect
ive automobile tags and the pos
sibility of renewed use of radar
! by local law enforcement officers.
Gov. Maddox vetoed a radar
I bill passed during the last legis
' lative session because he said it
did not contain proper safeguards.

with Gen. Moshe Dayan, now Is-
I rael Minister of Defense. Com- j
I menting on the recent conflict j
between the two nations, he said:
“The truly surprising result of
the six-day war is that Israel is
now the dominant power in the
Middle East, having demonstrated !
its ability to beat the combined '
