Electronic Judgment Lacking
A person’s credit standing used to depend on a highly
personal relationship with local merchants, the banker and
local businesses generally. Today, it appears that much of
this personal element has disappeared — perhaps unavoid
ably—in the hungry jaws of numbers-oriented computers.
A late issue of The National Observer contains an amus
ing story—or perhaps not so amusing—of the trials and
tribulations of a man who inadvertently fell into disfavor
with credit controlling computers. Once the machinery of
the system, through an error, found him to be a poor credit
risk, it took him months to reestablish his identity and his
financial reputation. In the fight to regain his credit stand
ing, he ran an unbelievable gauntlet of mediocre clerks, face
less credit representatives and a mechanized nightmare of
mis-management. At the end, he concluded, “. . . I still can’t
explain how my record got so distorted . . . But I do know
that by shouting and complaining, I got justice of a kind.”
If this is a sample of what becomes of the individual in
a “cashless” society in which people are no more than a
mass of meaningless numbers, one can but conclude we have
a long way to go to reach a state of perfect civilization.
Justice Black Makes Sense
The experience of history indicates that those who con
done or support the violence on American campuses and the
disruption of educational routine on the grounds of preserv
ing a necessary atmosphere of freedom in institutions of
higher learning may be off on the wrong foot. Anarchy on
the campus has virtually destroyed higher education in Latin
America. The decline began in 1918 when students in Ar
gentina were given a voice in running the universities.
The governments of Latin American countries have been
trying to reverse the trend, but, in the meantime, standards
have sunk so low that a Mexican professor was compelled to
admit, “We produce bad doctors, but they displace witch
doctors. We produce bad lawyers, but they are going to be
clerks anyway, with some legal training. Our brilliant stu
dents we send abroad.”
In the U. S., before the meaning of education dissolves
in chaos, it might be well to heed the words of Supreme Court
Justice Hugo L. Black who recently said, “I have always had
■ the idea that the schools were to educate children and not
I children to educate teachers.”
Reasons For Limitation
The years of piling one federal plan on top of another
; to solve the nation’s ills seem to have finally led perilously
] close to chaos. According to Newsweek, “The government is
: slated to spend more than S3O billion in the coming fiscal
> year to attack domestic social problems . . . One congressman
has counted 1,009 separate and often conflicting federal pro
grams, but the odd and appalling fact is that nobody really
knows how many programs there are—let alone how they
; interact.”
We should have learned by now that it was not without
(reason that the founders of the country proposed a govern
]ment of limited powers—a government of checks and bal
■ ances. In other words, a government in which bureaucracy
and authoritarianism were to be controlled. In short, the
i nation’s founders knew only too well the dangers of too much
. government.

Georgia's Economy:
A Study Os Contrasts
The state of Georgia—with its
many climatical, geographic, ru
ral and urban contrasts —presents
a puzzle to economists, observed
A. W. Holloway, President of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
in launching the Chamber's ‘‘Sa
lute to Georgia Industry” pro
gram this week.
“With all these differences,
ranging from its industrialized
Piedmont plateau to its farming
plains and seashore, it is not easy
to bring into register Georgia’s
economic resources and prob
lems.’’
And while the state is an in
dependent political entity, its
economy is closely tied to that
of the Southeast and the nation
and Georgia businessmen are in
fluencing the pace and direction
of the development of the entire
South.
To help bring Georgia’s eco
nomic situation into focus, the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has scheduled a six-weeks salute
to the contributions made by the
state’s established industries, Mr.
Holloway announced.
The program will stress the
contributions made by the state’s
six largest industrial categories,
as measured by employment.
They are textile products; ap
parel; food products; transporta
tion equipment; lumber, wood
and furniture products, and pulp
and paper products.
“The economic surge of Geor
gia’s economy in recent years
only prefaces the economic
change and development that will
come,” Holloway said.
“Lockheed-Georgia, producer of
the world’s largest aircraft, is one
of the leading examples of the
growing sophistication of the
state’s industrial ‘mix’.”
FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1969
Along with the growing indus
trialization there is the innova
tive creativeness of the once-tra
ditional employers of Georgia
who are contributing mightily to
the state’s prosperity, he added.
Mr. Holloway citea the branch
ing out of Georgia’s agri-business
to capture national leadership in
j broiler production, and the world
leadership of its soft drink com
panies, such as Coca-Cola and
Royal Crown.
Productivity improvements in
। the manufacture of textiles, by
isuch firms as Jefferson Mills with
its modern and automated plant,
are also an indication of the far-
I sighted entrepreneurial spirit of
Georgia's businessmen, Mr. Hol
loway commented.
He noted that non-manufactur
; ing employment in Georgia sky
rocketed 33.52 per cent between
1960 and 1967 (the last year of
’ available figures), from 710,000 to
948,000.
During this period, personal in
come in Georgia climbed from
$6.4 billion to $11.3 billion, an in
crease of 77 per cent. “This com
i pares with 55 per cent for the
nation as a whole,” he noted.
“This surge in income levels
has greatly increased the market
development in Georgia and the
Southeast as the demand for
■ goods and services is directly re
: lated to the level of personal in
come,” Mr. Holloway added.
“The established businesses of
Georgia are contributing mighti
ly toward the betterment of all its
citizens, and everyone of us can
i be justly proud of them.”
IT'S A FACT!
Beauty is a good feast for love
। but it is a poor meal for matri
mony.
