WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GECRGIA
! . Georgia Companies
| Help Feed The World |
| (Editor's Note: The Georgia
Chamber of Commerce has pro
iclaimed May 1-June 15 for a “Sa
llute to Georgia Indusry.” The fol
lowing article recognizes the con
tributions made by our expand
ing food industry.) ;
With its ample land area and}
excellent climate, Georgia re
mains one of the most importanti
states in supplying the nation|
with food despite its tremendous
industrial growth in recent years.‘
“The food industry is the third|
largest employer of Georgians in
the state, and its 50,000 employees
count only those actively engaged
in food processing,” noted Geor
gia Chamber of Commerce Pres
ident A. W. Holloway of Albany.
“And their annual payroll of
more than $262.7 million doesn’t
include the millions of dollars
that go to Georgia farmers and
their helpers who grow the crops
that they process.”
“The food industry gives Geor
gia a remarkable number of ti
tles:
‘The Poultry Capital of the!
World.
‘The Soft Drink Capital of the!
World.’ |
‘The Peanut Capital of the |
‘ Nation.’ |
“The Pimiento Capital of the
l Nation.” |
‘ And but for California, Georgia
could properly claim the title of
‘The Egg Capital of the Nation. |
While California produces |
more eggs, Georgia does export
more to other states,” Mr. Hollo
way noted,
But there is no doubt about
Georgia’s claim to the poultry ti
tle.
No other area in the world pro
duces as much as Georgia. The
9,700 Georgians in this industry
process some 4.5 million pounds
of chicken a day.
“Georgia has more than 50
poultry processing plants, and
they are both the envy and de
spair of the rest of the industry,”
Mr. Holloway commented. |
“Their efficient processing and
marketing systems plus their ex
pertise in managerial ability per
mits them to ship Georgia grown
and processed chicken to a place
like Germany at a lower price
than they could do it there.”
The income Georgians receive
from broilers exceeds that of all
other agriculture commodities.
And eggs, with more than 12 mil-
x‘lion produced a day, bring in the |
!second largest amount of money.!
l Ranking second in the food in- |
tdustry are the some 7,900 Geor-|
| gians who are employed by some!
1135 bakery and confectionery |
products companies in 42 coun-|
'ties. !
i Among the leaders in this field
|is the Tom Huston Peanut Com-,
pany, ranking among the top,
[three firms in the nation, which
lwas founded in Columbus in 1925/
land is now a fully autonomous,
subsidiary of General Mills.
| While the number of hourly
employees is only some 5,600,
there is no question that Georgiai
is the soft drink capital of the|
world—a situation that has meant |
|millions of dollars to the state’s
economy. i
| Along with the world’s top
ranking soft drink company,;
Coca-Cola, and the third, Royali
Crown-Nehi, Georgia is the par
ent state of three other firms;
whose products are marketed
‘throughout the world: the Bubble}
Up Company, Interantional Nu-i
Grape Company and Monarch Cit- |
lrus Produets Company. ‘
| There are 106 individual soft ]
|drink bottling plants located in|
560 cities, along with a beer brew-|
ling firm, a wine maker and al
whiskey distillery in the state. |
Georgia’s 73 dairy productsf
Iplants employ some 5,100 work- |
|ers in 36 counties, and the canned |
;zmd preserved fruits and vege-j
{tables segment of the industry
lemploys some 4,800, |
| “It is the firms in this latter
| field that give us the ‘Pimiento!
;Capital’ title,” Mr. Holloway |
noted. '
“A Griffin farmer, George Rie- |
|gel, spotted a can of Spanish pi-|
|mientos in a grocery store back
tin 1911 and imported six ounces'
iOf seed to see if they could be,
'raised in Georgia,” Mr. Holloway |
Irecalled, “They could, and from
vlthose six ounces of seed grew the!
Pomona Products Company, now
a division of Stokely-Van Camp,
£ |
Inc., which employs more thani
11,000 workers in peak periods.” |
| Rounding out the food industryi
lin Georgia are those in the grain|
| products segment, with one or,
Imore grain mills located in 109]
IGeorgia counties, employing some;
13,800 persons. f
| “It is a truly amazing job these{
|Georgia firms do in feeding the|
world,” commented Mr. Holloway, |
!“and at the same time provide an!
{important stimulus to the Georgia |
|economy.” ]

Food For Hungry
School Children
[ Taking the lead in Congress in
;the war on hunger all across the
ination, Georgia’s U. S. Sen. Her
!man E. Talmadge has introduced
'a bill designed to keep children
(from going hungry because the
federal government cuts off funds
lin school guideline noncompliance
cases. In introducing his bill, he
Itold his colleagues this:
| “Many members of Congress
land many high-ranking officials
lof the new administration have
fregistered angry and sympathetic
‘protests against hunger — black
jhunger and white hunger; hun-
Iger in the ghetto; hunger in rural
Ishanties; hunger among the aged
land the infirm; hunger in the pub
-Ilic schools, and most tragically,
hunger—and perhaps even virtual
;starvation—am‘ng small and in
inocent children.
| “The conscience of America has
‘ibeen aroused by the undeniable
ifact that there are millions of
'hungry and extremely needy
!children in this fat and prosper
»;ous nation. They are being de
inied their birthright. They are
‘;being deprived of education and
{training. In more instances than
‘Qwe care to contemplate, they are
isick and diseased in body and
{broken in spirit.
{ “This is a shame and a disgrace,
,whether it occurs in the South,
ithe North, the East, or the West
;—-and it does in fact occur to a
ivery large degree in all these
|places.”
{ Sen. Talmadge’s bill, a two-par
{agraph amendment to the 1964
?Civil Rights Act, climaxed many
{weeks of research he had con
lducted into charges that many
Menuu In The Round Wheels In Sun Fun
Everywhere wheels are roll
ing, taking you flat out to fun
in the sun -- to track, surf,
mountains or any scene where
the action is. Bike, dragster,
super-cat or family wagon —
leisurely or speedily — any
mode of travel is exciting.
Perhaps you're among the
lucky ones who watch Indy
“500” racers barrel down the
track, or join the crowd off to
the beach or mountains, or per
haps this is the long-promised
family outing to the lake.
A natural prerequisite for
all supercharged out-of-doors
appetites is hearty food and
drink. You'll win by a car
length with this wheeling tail
gate picnic which goes how
ever and wherever you go. The
arrangement of the food is to
remind you of wheels. Hot
macaroni salad with spokes of
hot dogs and a hub of cheese
can be kept hot in a thermal
bag or wrapped in foil.
Add a festive look to the
devil’s food cake with creamy
filling by the use of pepper
mint sticks as spokes and a hub
of peppermint-chocolate patty.
Even the relish tray makes a
wheel with its assortment of
carrot, celery and cucumber
sticks and a whole tomato for
the hub.
Everything is round-—round
rolls, round plates, round cups
to be filled from a round bottle
of icy cold Sprite. ;
HOT MACARONI SALAD
WITH DOGS
1 (7-oz.) pkg. shell macaroni
6 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped
onion
1/2 teaspoon prepared
mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup salad dressing
1/3 cup chopped pimiento
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 (12-o0z.) pkg. weiners
!needy children are being de
lprived of federally-financed free
‘lunches when funds are with
|drawn in guideline noncompli
|ance cases.
l The amendment specifies that!
even if other funds are with
[drawn, the money earmarked forl
lunch programs would remain in
tact. l
In Georgia, alone, he pointed
out, of 77 schools which have had
| federal funds cut off, 47 have had
Ito reduce their school lunch pro
]grams drastically. Because of this,
he explained, 9,000 Georgia chil
%dren lost school lunches.
