War Vets Home
In Milledgeville
Gets New Bldg.
A transfer of state property
will benefit the State of Geor
gia substantially according to
Georgia Veterans Service Di
rector Pete Wheeler. An
executive order signed re
cently by Gov. Jimmy Carter
transferred the Whittle build
ing and seven acres of land
from Central State Hospital
to the Georgia War Veterans
Home in Milledgeville.
“This means,’’ said Wheel
er, “that the Veterans Ad
ministration will now absorb
part of the daily cost of caring
for some 275 additional vet
erans.”
Currently the VA is paying
more than a half-million dol
lars annually toward the care
of veterans now residing in
the Cabiness and Vinson
buildings, two other facilities
In the Georgia War Veterans
Home complex. “The acqui
sition of the Whittle building, ”
said Wheeler, "will mean an
additional savings to the state
of almost $300,000.”
A fourth facility, the Rich
ard B. Russell building is
now under construction and
it will accommodate another
132 veterans.
Wheeler said that a number
of improvements are planned
for the Whittle building and
when they are completed, its
capacity will be increased to
317 veterans. Plans for im
proving the Whittle building
will be carried out in various
phases and include the expan
sion and modernization of
sanitary facilities and living
quarters and the installation
of elevators and air condi
tioning. Implementation of
these plans will increase the
capacity of the Whittle build
ing to 317 veterans. Similar
improvements also are plan
ned for the Cabiness building.
“In the not-so-distant fu
ture,” said Wheeler, “the
State of Georgia should be
receiving more than a million
dollars a year from the federal
government to help care for
an estimated 900 veterans who
will be living at the Georgia
War Veterans Home in
Milledgeville.”
Insurance Field
Investigation
Team Schedule
Comptroller General
Johnnie L. Caldwell recently
announced the schedule for
the insurance field investi
gation team for the first quar
ter of 1972.
These insurance field
investigators travel through
out the state on a regular
basis answering questionsand
assisting with insurance claim
problems. They are an exten
sion of the State Insurance
Department’s main claims in
vestigation office located in
Atlanta. The Atlanta office will
continue to conduct business
for the metropolitan Atlanta
area.
“We have implemented this
different approach in order
to reach those Georgians who
are unable through present
means to obtain the services
of the state’s insurance de
partment,” said Caldwell.
“We are extremely hopeful
that this program will continue
to have as much success as
it has already enjoyed.”
Field Investigator Krygier
will be in the following cities
on the indicated dates from
9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Waycross: Feb. 7, Mar. 6;

Some State And
Local Taxes
Not Deductible
—Most major state and lo
cal taxes can be deducted on
Federal income tax returns
if you itemize your deductions,
but some of the miscellaneous
taxes cannot be deducted, B.
Javan Gamer, the local repre
sentative of Internal Revenue
said today in Dublin.
The deductible taxes are
real estate and personal pro
perty taxes, state and local
income taxes, state and local
gasoline taxes, and general
sales taxes.
The taxes that are not de
ductible include liquor and
cigarette taxes, most auto li
cence fees, water service
charges, hunting and fishing
licenses, and dog licenses.
Mr. Gamer said Federal taxes
are also not deductible on
individual income tax returns.
Publication 546, “Income
Tax Deducation for Taxes,”
has complete information on
deductible and nondeductible
taxes. It is available free from
your IRS district office in At

FFA And
Keeping Records
A part of the VO- Ag Cours
es in High School is devoted
to training students in keeping
records. Students keep re
cords on their projects.
Students are taught to keep
a record of expenses on their
projects and their income so
that the profit can be cal
culated.
FFA members keep a re
cord of their inventories and
learn how to depreciate equip
ment and livestock.
From these records they
can figure the cost of pro
duction. Good records will
also prove the value of good
practices in fertilization, use
of herbicides etc.
Good record keeping does
not have to be elaborate but
simply, neat and accurate.
Good record keeping will
show if cost of production has
gone up or down and why.
Good record keeping is a
must in any business today.
FF'A members will have the
basic fundaments of record
keeping as they go out into
a job or business.
About Your
Social Security
Are you approaching retire
ment age? If so, Charles Hall,
Branch Manager of the Dublin
Social Security Office, has two
suggestions that may save you
time and effort in getting your
Social Security check started
as quickly and easily as pos
sible.
First — Call ahead of time
and discuss what proofs you
will need. The personnel at
the Dublin office will be glad
to discuss this with you and
give you advice on what re
cords are available and how to
obtain them.
Second — Come in and file
three months before you plan
to retire. This will give the
personnel time to help you
resolve any problems that may
arise.
If you will follow these sug
gestions, you will be helping
to start your check coming as
quickly as possible. If you wish
to contact the Dublin Social
Security Office, you may
write, visit, or call. The Dub
lin office is located at 114
East Johnson Street and the
telephone number is 272-5347.
For those who are on the Mc-
Rae, Eastman, Soperton, or
Wrightsville telephone ex
changes, you can dial the Op
erator and ask for WX-1500
and there will be no charge
to you.
Q. 1 have been paying social
security contributions for
over 20 years and so has my
wife. Since she can get a
monthly benefit as a wife on
my record when I retire, why
does she also have to pay
social security contributions?
A. Everyone who works at a
jeb covered by social security
must pay contributions. More
important, however, your wife
as a worker, has social secur
ity protection in her own right.
If she becomes severely dis
abled before reaching retire
ment age, she might qualify
on her own earnings record
for monthly disability checks.
And, when she retires, she can
get retirement benefits on her
own earnings record even if
you decide to keep on working.
In most cases, her retirement
benefit check would generally
be more than the check she
would receive as a dependent
wife. If she should die while
your children are young, they
could get monthly survivors
benefits on her earnings re
cord.
Q. I have been getting month
ly social security disability
benefits for nearly 6 months.
Now I find I’m also eligible
for benefits under a private
plan from my employer. Will

CLASS ACTION SUITS
What is a class action suit?
A class action suit is a
remedy under law that allows
a “class” of people, meaning a
large number of people with
the same problem, to file one
suit against a company or
organization to either keep
them from continuing to do
something that they believe is
harmful, or to recover
damages. To put it very
simply, suppose a thousand
people in Georgia were gypped
out of five dollars by the same
organization. Even if all of
them thought it was worth it
to go to court for that amount
of money, and few would, it
would add a thousand cases to
our already over-crowded <
court system. In a class action
suit, one person can be chosen
to represent all others in his
class (people cheated the same
way). Therefore, a large
enough amount of money is
involved to make suing
feasible, and there is only one
case to be judged. If the
participants in a class action
suit win the case, the
organization they were suing
will be ordered to stop doing
whatever it was that gypped
the people, and if money is
recovered it will be split
among the other members of
the class.
Os course, class action suits
can involve more money than
just five dollars, and can
involve either more or less
than a thousand people.
Two real examples that
come to mind involve hotels
and medicine. In a recent case,
a number of New York hotels
were adding extra service
charges to the bills of all their

my disability payments from

A. No. Disability benefits
from your employer will not
not affect your monthly bene
fits from social security.
However, workmen’s compen
sation benefits could affect
your social security disability
payments, and if you become
entitled to workmen’s com
pensation, you should report to
the Social Security Adminis
tration right away.

House Plants
By David H. Williams
Many house plants have a
tendency to lose leaves during
the winter. The colorful cro
ton is a good example. All of
a sudden the lower leaves be
gin to drop.
Troy Keeble, one of our Ex
tens ion horticulturists, says
several factors may be involv
ed. Chances are, though, that
they boil down to two--tem
perature and humidity.
Crotons don’t like tempera
tures much below 70 degrees.
And Keeble explains that, with
a room temperature this high,
the humidity will be quite low.
He says overcoming such a
low humidity will require al
most daily moistening or
spraying of the plant with
water.
Here is another way to over
come low humidity: Just set
the pot on a tray or pan of
pebbles and add water to the
tray occasionally. The water
will evaporate, thus raising
the humidity around the plant.
guests, whether they received
any extra services or not. A
group of guests filed a class
action suit, and the court
ruled that the hotels had to
stop adding on such service
charges, and had to refund the
money taken in previously. In
a case that has just been filed,
a class action suit charges that
a medical manufacturing
company advertises one of its
products as better than other
brands and charges more for
it, while actually the product
is not better than some of its
competitor's, and that the
company is guilty of false
advertising and over charging.
They contend that as a group
they have been victimized by
the company’s claims, and are
asking for over a million
dollars in damages.
Georgia does NOT have a
law that allows people to file
class action suits. However, it
is possible that a bill providing
for class action suits will be
submitted to the 1972 session
of the Georgia General
Assembly. If you are
interested in such a law, get in
touch with your state senator
and representatives.

nothing more than a variety of
muscadine grape. “The color

“They are still muscadine

Rep. L.L. Phillips of Soper
ton was a co-sponsor of H.B.
1123 which will freeze the re
quired local property tax sup
port for basic education costs.
The bill would freeze the
dollar level of local support
for the next year at
approximately the same level
as this year—s7B.s million.
Without the legislation, the
local share of school costs
would soar to an anticipated
sll7 million next year.
The bill freezes the dollar
level by reducing the ratio of
local county tax digests. At
present, each county is re
quired to pay .29 of its local
tax digest into the Minimum
Foundation Program for Edu
cation. The legislation ap
proved by the House would re
duce that ratio to .195 for
next year.
H. B. 1123 passed the House
on January' 26 and is now in
the Senate.
