Governor Carter has had
nothing but bad news late'’y on
‘his reorganization program,
even though he expresses an
optimistic note when newsmen
ask him how he thinks the
General Assembly will treat it.
However, the announcement by
‘Senator Stanley Smith that he
will hod hearings this month |
on the proposals can mean
only that this Senator — joined
by others — is getting ready to
'draft the substitute bills. And,
as we wrote last week, this sub
stitute will bear little resem
blance to Carter’s original plan.
Lt-Governor Lester Maddox
says that reorganization is of
such major import to the peo
ple of Georgia that he is in
wholehearted accord with the
hearings. In fact, he thinks that
the legislature shoud ho'd
hearings of its own after they
come into session, if there is
time to do so and still act on
the bills before the 15 day
deadline passes. He declares,
a'so, that the Assembly should
transact no other business un
til reorganization is settled one
way or the other.
~ And, Maddox hasn't changed
his opinion one iota that this
15 day time limit, during
which time the solons must dis
approve reorganization or it be
comes law automatically, is un
constitutional. If time does run
out, and the proposals take ef
fect without the legislature hav
ing acted, we foresee an immed
iate court suit to test the con
stitutionality of the procedure.

A number of state po'itical
figures don't agree with the
Governor that he accomplished
much when he went to Wash
ington to try to get HEW to
funnel a!l federal money into |
the state in a !'ump sum. In
fact, some say that this is just
‘another effort on Carter's part
to set up a dictatorship in state
government. .

We haven't seen it, yet, but
we hear that the Governor has
had prepared a bill for the leg
islature setting up a compre
hensive child care program for
Georgia children age up to §
years, and will ask for
$6,000,000 with which to im

program would call for serving
54,000 at first, and then jump

templated that eventual'y every
child in the state would come
under it.

and child care in homes. Case

stood to some extent what we
heard, but it seems that par

come under the supervision of
these social workers,
The cost of caring for a child
in a center is estimated at
. SIBOO a year, and in the home
nearly SI3OO per annum. This,
of course, is far higher than the
cost of educating a chi.d in the

Some weeks ago, we predict
ed that Senators Hubert Hum
phrey and Herman Talmadge
would be the nominees of the
Democratic Party for President
and Vice-President in the 1972
_elections. More and more does
this seem to be an accurate pre
diction. According to Washing
ton commentators, Senator
Henry Jackson is making no
progress at a'l in the polls, with
only Humphrey, Muskie and
Kennedy showing any apprec
iable strength.
Obviously, if the Democrats
don’t capture the White House
next year, the Party will be shot
to hell. So, you can bet your
bottom dollar that the big
shots of the Party will try to
put together the strongest pos
sible ticket. Such a ticket, very
clearly, would have to inc'ude
a liberal in the top spot and a
conservative for Veep, to win.
There's no one else who cou'd
hold the South Democratic as
we'l as Herman, and since he
would not accept a spot on the
ticket with either Muskie or
Kennedy, this leaves only Hum
phrey, whom Talmadge would
n't mind running with. Don't
ithink that Demo leaders
haven't already reasoned this
out.

CHRISTMAS SAFETY
It is estimated that as many
as seven hundred thousand
children will be injured, some
even fatally, by their
Christmas toys.
While organizations such as
the Food and Drug
Administration and the
National Safety Council test
many toys, it is impossible to
test all of the hundreds of
thousands of toys and games
that are for sale in this
country. In many cases, you
alone must judge the safety of
the toys you choose for your
children.
Be careful of buying stuffed
animals or dolls with eyes,
noses or other decorations
that are stuck in with a long,
hat-pin-type spike. Items
attached in this way are easily
pulled out, and can cause
severe puncture wounds. It is
better to buy toys with eyes,
etc., that are sewn in, but only
if sewn in securely. If the
sewing is weak, the child may
be able to pull the object off,
pop it in his mouth, and
possibly choke to death. Other
kinds of toys, like wooden
animals that the child pulls
along on a string, often have
features stuck on with nails or
spikes. Be sure that such
features do not come off
easily. Also, if parts of the toy
are protected with rubber
padding, be sure it is firmly
attached.
Exercise extreme caution in
buying toys with parts made
of glass or easily shattered
plastic. For instance, tests
have shown that those
clacking balls on a string can
easily shatter, and fly into the
eyes of the person holding it.
Also, avoid toys with sharp
points or edges.
Be careful in buying
anything chemical or
electrical. There are reported
cases in which children were
able to make nitroglycerin,
from amateur chemistry sets,
and others in which they were
badly burned by “toy” ovens
that actually got as hot or
hotter than the one in the
Kitchen. Remember, chemistry
sets are not the only chemicals
that you might be giving the
children. There are many
others, such as the ink for toy
printing presses. Read ALL
labels carefully, and avoid
products that do not clearly
list all ingredients. If your
child swallows a chemical
substance, the first question
the doctor will ask you is,
“what was it?” In all too
.many cases, a doctor cannot
treat the child, or risk treating
him incorrectly, unless you
can answer that question
clearly. (NOTE: You could get
a pamphlet that explains what
you should do for various
kinds of poisoning while
waiting for the doctor by
writing the Injury Control
Center, Emergency Health
Service, 47 Trinity Avenue,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30334.)
With electrical toys, read the
labels and follow instructions
exactly. If an electric toy is
improperly made or misused,
it can cause bums, electric
shocks and even fires. If an
electric toy has an UL seal
(Underwriters Laboratories) it
means that it has been tested

by that organization and
meets their safety standards.
Fire is one of the top
dangers in children’s toys and
clothes, and it is almost
impossible to tell which are
flammable and which are not
unless the label states the
product is flame resistant. No
matter what, you should
supervise your children to
make sure that they are
following fire safety
procedures when playing.
(One example of an accident
that comes to mind happened
when a child left a doll’s head
leaning against an electric light
bulb, and the hair caught on
fire. Fortunately no one was
harmed in that instance.)
If you have questions about
whether a particular toy is
safe, contact the Inspection
Division of the United States
Food and Drug Adminis
tration, 60 Eighth Street,
N.E., Atlanta 30308, Ph.
526-5265, for further
information about it.
Other things to look out for
are:
e Missile toys, such as pop
guns that shoot corks or
rubber bullets, and bows and
arrows. Even cork and rubber
have been known to cause
serious eye injuries. Also,
some rubber swords are so
hard they can inflict injury;
e Jumping shoes (shoes with
springs on the bottom that the
child bounces on) may cause
broken ankles and other
injuries. Even such traditional
toys as pogo sticks, bikes and
skates should be selected with
care and you should be sure
that the child is old enough to
use such toys properly. After
all, what is safe in the hands of
a ten year old might not be
safe in the hands of an eight
year old;
e Toys that make extremely
loud noises, Children’s
eardrums are very sensitive,
and easily damaged;
e Water-filled toys, such as
teething rings. Tests have
shown that some of these toys
have been filled with badly
polluted water, and that the
children could bite through
such toys and swallow it;
e Toys someone is peddling
on the street. Many of these
are poor quality and over
priced and they may not have
been made or stored under
safe and sanitary conditions;
e Fireworks. It is sad that
such a traditional pleasure is
dangerous but it is. For last
year’s holiday season, a survey
of 55 of Georgia’s hospitals
disclosed 32 firework’s injuries
ranging from bums to lost
fingers and eyes. This figure
represents only a part of such
injuries, as many were treated
in other hospitals or at home.
Sometimes, people even die
from a firework’s injury. If
that doesn’t convince you,
remember that fireworks are
illegal in Georgia, and you can
be fined, go to jail or both for
having them.
There are a few other
general safety rules that you
should foilow to make sure
your holidays are not a time
of tragedy. Remember, plastic
bags are NOT toys, and are
always a danger to children,
adults and pets. Never give

The Dublin Social Security
Office, along with social

has been appointedby Secretary
of Health, Education, and Wel

serve as a local center to
receive complaints about sub
standard conditions in nursing
homes.
Persons who have infor

quality care, neglect, unsani

information to the nearest
social security office inperson,
or by letter or phone.
If desired, the name of the
person making the complaint
and the name of the nursing
home patient will be kept con
fidential, Charles F, Hall, So

in Dublin noted.
The social security office
will see that the complaint gets
to the proper Federal, State,

would take complaints and sug

They would also fine out what
nursing home patients think --
not only about the facilities

alternatives to nursing home
care -- ways in which older
people may be enabled to stay
in familiar surroundings in
stead of being institutionalized.

activities under which more
than 100 extended care facili

terminated because they failed
too meet health and safety

As of last week, he said,
another 43 facilities are on
notice that unless they meet
the standards they will be cut
off from Medicare funds.
On the positive side, more
than 4,000 Medicare surveys
in the past year have led to
the correction of deficiencies
and the upgrading of care --
not just for Medicare patients,
but for all patients in the insti

Actions are also being taken
to obtain State enforcement of

Maddox Asserts
Lt. Gov. Lester G. Maddox,
addressing the West Jackson
Lions Club in Braselton, spoke
out against the Carteradminis
tration’s plan to reorganize
Georgia’s state government.
And he gave his reasons for
opposing it. Among them, he
contends it violates the State
Constitution,
“Actually,’® Maddox said, “‘lt
was my desire to aid the cause
of reorganization which pro
motes economy, efficiency, and
improved service to the people,
not my desire to defeat it,
which led me to question the
constitutionality of House Bill

“Section 2-1914 of the Geor

shall become law unless it shall
receive a majority of the votes
of all the members elected to

Evans & Miichell Acquires
206-Acre Athens, Ga. Tract
ATLANTA, Ga. (PRN) —
Evans & Mitchell Industries,
Inc. (OTC) has acquired a
206-acre tract located in a
highly developed section of
Athens, Ga. in a $450,000 real
estate transaction, according
to John H.
Mitchell, Jr.,
executive vice
president of
the Atlanta
and Athens
-based land
development
firm. |
The pro

portion of the A.P. Winston
estate. The huge tract has
remained untouched while
surrounding properties have
seen iniensive development
over the past decade, Mitchell
said.
The tract is bounded on the
east by industrial properties,
on the south by the U.S. 29
Athens perimeter bypass, on
the west by the Athens
Country Club and its 27-hole
golf course and on the north
again by industrial land uses.
The nearby industrial land
uses include such major
Athens industries as
Westinghouse, General Time,
DaryPak and Coble Dairies,
with payrolls of over 2300

instance, so appear in the
Journal.’
“But the present reorgan
ization bill delegates the
authority to pass laws and re
peal conflicting laws to some-~
one other than the General As
sembly, and no one has yet
explained how they can get
around this provision of the
Constitution.”
The former governor, who
now presides over the Senate
in his position as lieutenant
governor, went on to say:
“I wasn’t called in on any of
the meetings when it was de
termined how to get the re
organization bill through, and
apparently, nothought was given
to the fact that the courts have
consistently ruled such legis
lation unconstitutional.
“And unless the Constitution
is amended to change Section
2-1914, the governor, the lieu
tenant governor, the speaker
of the House, and the senators
and representatives are pro
hibited by law from signing or
permitting to go into law any
legislation which is in violation
of Section 2-1914, including the
reorganization bill,”
Pointing out that he has “sup-
AT LONG LAST the United States government has made o
major breakthrough in the frustrating and costly fight against
low-wage textile imports. In the final analysis. the heart ol the
issue involved the protection of American jobs.
Agreements were finally reached with Japan. Hong Kong. South
Korea, and Taiwan to turn back the flood of textiles und apparcl
imports which have been drowning jobs of American workers
Quotas were set to significantly reduce imports from these coun
tries to more reasonable levels, The consensus seems to be that
although the agreements could have been more restrictive, they
at least constitute a great gain for the American textile worker
In the past two or three vears, there has been increasing pres
sure in Congress for import quotas. Because the textile and apparcl
industry is Georgia's largest single manufacturing employer. I am
proud to have been in the forefront of this battle. 1 have repeat
edly urged the Senate to take legislative action on its own if Japan
and the other Oriental countries stubbornly refused to come to
reasonable voluntary agreements. The Nixon administration like
wise was beginning to feel the pressure, which was translated into
more forceful negotiations. Hence, we now have agreements.
* kS %
THE IMPORT SITUATION had reached a critical stage. Al
ready, the equivalent of 300,000 American jobs have been dis
placed by low-wage textile and apparel imports. The flood of ma
terials into this country was on its way to setting a new record
for 1971.
For the first eight months of this year, imports were up 84 per
cent for Taiwan, 74 per cent for Japan, 71 per cent for Korca.
and 28 per cent for Hong Kong. This kind of penetration of the
American market cannot occur without thrawing our workers out
of a job, and that is exactly what has been happening. It is sad
that we allowed it to go on for so long.
Georgia, for example. has been severely hit. Since last Junc.
about 2,400 people have lost textile jobs and put in the position
of having to find employment elsewhere or perhaps seck welfure
assistance.
Moreover, in terms of the international trade picture, the import
trade deficit in textile and apparel products is estimated at over
$2 billion for 1971. This vear. for the first time in the 20th Cen
tury, we will have a serious trade deficit—llargely because of textile
imports.
The new agreements were long overdue, but at last we have them
and hopefully American jobs will be made more secure.
employees.
Mitchell said the tract lends
itself uniquely to multiple use
land development. Evans &
Mitchell Industries will
probably develop 110 acres
located opposite the
Westinghouse installation in
industrial use and another six
acres commercially,
Another 100 acres fronting
on the no. 4 fairway and green
of the Athens Country Club,
he said, will be slated for
townhouse and condominium
development.
The Evans & Mitchell
official said the northeast
Georgia city locale of the
newly acquired tract has
experienced steady economic
growth over the past several
decades, closely paralleling
that of the University of
Georgia, which was chartered
there in 1785 as the country’s
first state university,
The university with a
current enrollment of 20,000
has grown five-fold since the
early fifties. Athens, he said,
has uself enjoyed a growth
rate of 43% between 1960 and
1970, nearly two and one-half
times greater than the State
average.
While each additional 1,000

“But when I see programs

and more government of, for,
and by the politicians, I’m not
going to crawl under the rug
and keep my mouth shut about
it
Referring to what he termed
“all the publicity behind the
reorganization drive,’’ Maddox
had this to say:
“Well, if a selling technique
is polished enough, you could
probably get plenty of people
to automatically think of ‘re
organization’ as a magic word
which can cure every ill and
solve every problem.
Regulations barring govern

tests or other selection methods
that discriminate against mi

Herman Talmadge
REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
the economic importance of
the University of Georgia has
declined in relation to the
total Athens economy because
of rapid industrial growth and
the introduction of new-type
industries to Athens, bringing
a broadening economic base
and sounder basis for future
economic growth. Mitchel
said the acquisition
complements other real estate
projects and holdings in “this
major trading center for the
nine-county Northeast Georgiz
region, and decidedly
strengthens our industrial
holdings there.”
Evans & Mitchell Industries

Athens area in one of the
state’s largest industrial parks,
