Getting Set For
.
Big 1968 Season
ATLANTA, (GPS) — In
preparaiton for the approach
ing spring and summer out
door recreation season in
Georgia, State Parks Director
John L. Gordon said his de
partment is now busily en
gaged in working out details
for new construction and im
provements at Georgia’s state
parks,
He cited, as an example,
what is being planned for
Kolomoki Mounds State Park,
located off U. S. Highway 27
about six miles north of Blake
ley. The 1,293-acre park is
scheduled for a $160,000 face
lifting.
The improvements include
construction of a family and
group camp shelter which will
house approximately 180 per
sons, with modern restroom
facilities and barbecue pits for
their convenience. ,
Gordon said also included in 1
the SIOO,OOO expenditure will
be a comfort station, located
near a proposed 25-tent site. |
Plans also call for the addi
tion of another filter for the |
group camp pool at Camp |
Hicita, which is located at |
Kolomoki, and for a minia
ture golf course. ;
Last year more than 178,- |]
000 persons visited Kolomoki v
Mounds State Park which in
cludes the mounds, museum :
and recreation areas. This was |,
an increase of some 14,000 |
visitors over the previous !
year. f
In 1967 the Kolomoki Indi
an Mounds were declared a
national historic landmark by
the U. S. Department of the
Interior. Today the site is one |
of seven such historic land- |
marks in Georgia and one of |
approximately 200 in the Unit
ed States which have been so
designated because of their
“exceptional value in com
nfemorating or illustrating the
history of the U, S.”
The mounds and surround
ing area were presented to the |
State of Georgia as a gift
from the citizens of Blakely |
and Early County in 1938, [
Kolomoki Mounds State Park
was established in 1947 and is
currently under the supervi
sion of Supt. Cecil Hall,
Senate Approves
Talmadge’s Bill
To Aid Pine Gum
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U. S.
Sen, Herman E. Talmadge has
won Senate approval of his
bill designed to give an eco
nomic boost to the crude pine
gum industry in Georgia and
the South.
The bill authorizes a three
year program to permit the
Secretary of Agriculture to
make compliance payments to
pine gum producers to supple
ment existing price supports.
The overall purpose of the
legislation is to maintain and
improve the income of pro
ducers of crude pine gum, and
to stabilize its production. Sen. |
Taimadge said, pointing out
that the rising cost of labor |.
and materials has caused the |-
income of pine gum producers |
to steadily decline since 1962. |
The Georgia senator and |
ranking member of the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, |
pointed out that 30,000 people ' ‘
in the South depend on the |.
crude pine gum industry as a |,
main source of income. Said |
he: :
“The livelihood of thousands
of gum farmers is at the
threshold of extinction if Con
gress deos not act promptly.”
Commenting on the impact
that would be felt in rural
communities if the crude pine
gum industry were allowed to |
disappear, Sen. Talmadge 1
pointed out that workers in
gum farming are not trained
nor because of age and educa
tion readily trainable for any
other kind of work. He added:
“Crude pine gum is a cash
crop which provided an aver
age gross income of over sl7-
million during the past five
vears, and probably several |
times that amount to the total |
income of rural communities‘i
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, | :
Mississippi and South Caro-g_
.
Most people are very thahkful' ¢
that the “good old days” exist| |
in memory and not in fact. .
Herman Talmadge
THE PUEBLO INCIDENT brought to our attention the
fact that United States Armed Forces are spread extremely thin
all around the world.
There are a total of more than 1.5 million Anmericans serv
ing military duty in the world, including about 550,000 in Viet
Nam and Thailand. In addition, there are about 350,000 United
States servicemen in Europe and the Mediterranean, about 217.-
000 in the Far East, almost 25,000 in the Caribbean, and some
400,000 more Americans on bases in various other parts of the
world.
The North Korean Communist highjacking of the U.S.S.
Pueblo immediately produced an ominous threat that the United
States would be drawn into opening a new military front that
would require the massive deployment of even more of our
fighting forces.
Because of the fact that our forces are already spread so
thin around the world, another major conflict similar in size to
that in Viet Nam would greatly tax our military reserves and
without a doubt would require expanding the draft.
Os course, no one wants hasty or rash action in Korea, but
the Pueblo incident made us stop and consider just how far we |
are already militarily extended around the world. |
# ¥ % ]
BECAUSE OF THE strength of America, as well as our }
size and prosperity. the United States has been literally cast in
the role of policeman for the world. Although this responsibility {
rightfully rests with some of the other prosperous nations, the |
American people have had to take on most of the load, in terms !
of money and manpower. E
‘ In Western Europe, for example, there are approximately ;
six American divisions serving there. In my judgment, we do not ;
need this many troops in Europe, and in many instances they |
are not altogether welcome. {
We could bring back home two or three of these divisions, ;
and still serve our purpose in Europe of showing the American ’
Flag and demonstrating to our allies and the Communists that ;
we intend to keep our commitment there. |
Moreover, I think we need to call on our European friends. :
who are now prospering economically, mostly because of United i
States aid following World War 11, to do more and spend more }
to look after their own defense. and to do their fair share of |
maintaining security in the Free World. !

Talmadge’s Bill
Designed To Aid
’US. Egg Industry
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Geor
gia’'s U. S, Sen. Herman E.|
‘talmadge has introduced leg- |
iglation aimed at alleviating |
.an over-production problem in |
the egg industry. l 1
“My bill,” he said, “would |
permit egg producers of our |
nation to decide for them
'selves by referendum whether |
‘or not they want to bring the |
}supply of eggs in line with |
| demand. I believe egg produc- ‘
ers should be given the option |
to take action if they so de
sire to bring prices more in
line with increasing production
sosts.” ‘
Under provisions of the leg
islation, referendums would be
conducted by the Department |
of Agriculture, with egg pro
ducers determining by their
votes whether they want to
establish production quotas
for their own laying flocks, ex
plained Talmadge who is a |
ranking member of the Senate |
Agriculture Committee. i
If referendums indicate that |
a majority of the producers!
are against egg quotas, then '
the current practice will be !
continued, he said. If, however,
producers favor production
quotas, then controls will be
placed on the number of hens
that each producer may main- ‘
tain by a National Egg Board
that would be composed of two |
producer members from each
egg production district.
Sen. Talmadge emphasized
that “this program is solely ‘
optional and egg producers
would be given freedom to de
cide for themselves, with the
government acting only as the
administrator of referendums.”
