Department’s Division of
Mental Health.
Dr. Duval said that the new
system - coordinated from a
central admissions office at
the Health Building in Atlanta
has been under study “for
some time, “but funds
appropriated during the recent
session of the Genera)
Assembly will enable the
Health Department to
accelerate the plan, which had
been delayed by lack of
implementation funds.
In the closing days of the
1968 legislative session,
$2,410,644 was granted to
supplement the Department’s
fiscal year 1968 and 1969
mental health budgets. Dr.
Duval explained that $l,OlO,
195 of the amount is being
spent to remodel existing
buildings at Southwestern
State Hospital in Thomasville.
New beds for 120 mentally
retarded will be provided by
the renovation, he said.
‘‘Some $782,000 of the
appropriation will go to
provide another 10 beds for
the retarded at at Atlanta

months ahead of our original
January, 1969 scheduled
opening,” he added.
The, balance, of the
appropriation. $617,659, is
being applied to remodel two
40-bed wards for emotionally
disturbed children at Central
State Hospital in Milledgeville,
the health official said.
Dr. Duval emphasized that
the new central admissions
system will eventually be
expanded to cover the
mentally ill and alcoholics -
matching individual needs to
available facilities but said
• hat first priority had been
given to the pressing needs of
the states mentally retarded.
He said that special
attention was being given to
the long waiting list for
admission to institutions for
the retarded. Gracewood State
School and Hospital in
Augusta has for some time
been operating at full
capacity; patients applying for
admission could only be added
to a waiting list containing the
names of almost 2000
individual applicants.
Under the new admissions
system, Dr. Duval continued,
applications will be submitted
through local health
departments and the
individual case classified by a
review board as “emergency,”
'urgent, - ' “desirable” or
“indefinite.” Future
admissions to all existing and
planned facilities will be
governed by the classification
need, the compatibility of the
patient to existing vacancies
and the date the application is
received in the central
admissions office in Atlanta.
“In time, all of our
application date will be
computerized,” the mental
health director stated. “As our
regional hospitals open-and
when the 1000-bed Georgia
Retardation Center is
completed in DeKalb county -
we will have information at
our fingertips on the best
place to treat the individual,
and at a location nearest his
home.”
Dr. Duval said that A.
Stanley Jones of Atlanta is
now serving on his staff as
hospital admissions
coordinator. Jones, who has
been working on the details of
the new procedure since May
of 1967, said that all local
resources would have been
assessed before an individual
was added to the central
admissions register.

NAM Urges
’69 Federal
Fiscal Discipline
ATLANTA, March 29th
(PRN) —The National
Association of Manufacturers
has urged Congress and the
Administration to hold federal
spending in fiscal 1969 to the
level of fiscal 1968. This was
announced today by L. Glenn
Dewberry, President, Atlantic
Steel Company, and NAM
Director; A. Thorton
Kennedy, President,
Davidson-Kennedy Company,
and NAM Director; and
Dillard Munford, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer,

Division Vice President.
“Our fiscal situation is
critical and the exercise of
rigid discipline is imperative
for both domestic policy
considerations and
maintenance of international
confidence in the dollar, they
said in quoting from the NAM
resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors. They went

Buyer’s Guide: Sewing Machines
As Spring approaches, it
brings a yen for fresh, new
looking fashions fuller skirts
paired with shirts beruffled at
neckline and wrists;-newly
belted wrap around coat
dresses in brilliant Hawaiian
prints; a coat with huge,
flapped and buttoned pockets;
and boldly-striped bodyskim

chains.
Spring can also bring the
realization that the budget is
strained. However, it is pos
sible to have a well-fitting, up
to-the-minute wardrobe and i
keep finances in shape by I
sewing at home.
If there's a new sewing ma
chine in your future, here are
some tips to help you get the
most for your money, from The
Singer Company, which sold
more than a million sewing
machines last year.
• Buy the best sewing ma
chine you can afford. Most ap
pliances have a life span of
between 5 and 8 years; the
average woman replaces her j
sewing machine only once in
20 years. If you don't have the ■
cash to buy the machine you
need, a sound budget payment
plan can usually be worked !
out.
• Price alone should not be
the determining factor in se
lecting a sewing machine. Buy
a machine with the features
you'll use. More features than
you'll use constitutes a waste
of money; too few features may
limit the machine's usefulness.
• Sew on the machine before
you buy it. The machine that
your neighbor prefers may not
be the machine for you.
• Know what types of sew
ing machines are available,
and what features can be built- |
in or bought as accessories, to i
determine the type of machine j
that is best for you. There are i
two basic areas of choice:
(1) straight stitch sewing
machine (may also do chain- i
stitching)
(2) zig-zag sewing machine
(will do straight stitching and
may also do chainstitching)
Straight Stitch Sewing
Machines
Modern straight stitch ma
chines are usually of light
weight aluminum construction,
fully gear-driven, with maxi
mum convenience and comfort
features, such as a slant needle |
The Pembroke Journal, Thursday, April 11, 1968
called for a cut in anticipated
outlays in sufficient amount
to bring the fiscal 1969
expenditures down to 1968
totals.”
“NAM has previously
stated that it would endorse
the idea of a temporary
surcharge on income taxes
only if it were accompanied
by a substantial reduction in
federal outlays,” the
resolution said. “The spending
trends and authorizations in
the 1969 budget proposals
have not met this conditioning
endorsement. Furthermore,
there is little indication of
serious effort to control the
future level of spending or to
eliminate outmoded or
ineffective programs.”
The Association
emphasized that, although a
reduced deficit would allay
the intensity of our immediate
problems, it is also necessary
to control the future growth
and direction of federal
spending. “To this end,” they
said, Full support should be
given to a continuous detailed
evaluation of programs, by an
independent commission, to
establish priorities in our
contemporary situation.
Without a high -level,
independent and authoritative
effort of this nature,
proliferation of federal
programs can be expected to
continue unabated.
The Division Vice President
and Directors explained this
major point by saying,
Support should also be given
to the adoption of more
realistic cost-benefit standards
for all public works p-ojects.
This would provide nother
effective way to f tablish
priorities for gov rnment
spending.”
They joined the 4AM in
commending the ado' tion of a
unified budget con 'ept and
the prompt imple nentation
by the President of the major
recommendation, of the
Commission o’. Budget
Concepts. As a fu' ther step in
improving the budget and
appropriation processes, NAM
reiterated its suggestion that
all authorization requests be
considered in two measures:
one for defense and national
security and the other for all
other federal outlays.
The National Association of
Manufacturers is a voluntary
organization of industrial and
business firms, large and small,
located in every state, which
vigorously support principles
that encourage individual
and push-button bobbin. Acces
sories for chainstitching and
making buttonholes are often
available on the newer mod
els. Conventional straight stitch
machines, which are usually
belt-driven, are usually char
acterized by the vertical posi
tion of the needle, moderate
pricing. Economy straight
stitch machines may do good
straight stitching, but have
few, if any, "extras". A straight
stitch machine is a good buy
for the woman whose home
sewing consists mostly of mak
ing draperies, curtains and
bedspreads, and who doesn’t
require zig-zag stitching for
stretch or knit fabrics, blind
stitching, etc. Straight stitch
machines should be evaluated
carefully to make sure that
what seems like a "bargain"
doesn't become a "dud". The
name of the manufacturer and
the store, and their reputations,
are especially important when
selecting low-priced sewing
machines.

Zig-Zag Sewing Machines
Most sewing machines sold
are zig-zag models, because
they are more versatile than
straight stitc!. machines. Zig
zag sewing machines with
built-in automatic features rep
resent the most advanced en
gineering and design, give the
widest range of performance—
and usually cost the most. They
are built to do straight-stitch
ing, plain zig zag sewing, dec
orative zig-zag work, as well
as functional operations such
as buttonholes, mending, seam
finishing, scalloping, blind
stitching, and chainstitching.
They may have built-in cams,
which are or are not inter
changeable. Those with cams
that are interchangeable are
freedom and which, through
the Association develop and
engage in sound programs for
the advancement of the
economic well-being and social
progress of the American
people.
H 7 ater Board
Rejects US
Intervention
Atlanta (PRN ) —The
Georgia Water Quality Control
Board today unanimously
voted to reject thf
controversial “degradation’
clause announced in February
by U. S. Department of th<
Interior Secretary Stewari
Udall.
The endorsed motion reads
“Resolved that this Boarc
reaffirm its water quality
standards as heretofore
approved by the Secretary oi
the Interior. (It also,'
specifically declines to adopt
the degradation or
anti-degradation clause
presented to this meeting.’
The motion was drafted by
board member Millarc
Beckum of Augusta.
H S. Ho w ard, Jr.
Executive Secretary of the
Board, said that “if we adopt
the degradation clause as part
of Georgia’s stream standards
we would have to gel
Department of the Interioi
approval for any future waste
discharges to our interstate
waters. The federal
government would then, in
effect, be exercising control
over Georgia’s future
economic and industrial
development. The degradation
clause is merely an attempt to
harass the states. The federal
government now has all the
authority it needs to control
pollution on interstate waters
and navigable waters.”
The Board also heard
reports on plans for a
treatment plant operators
school to be conducted May
28-31 in Dalton, and an
mnouncment of agreement
among Macon Kraft,

most versatile. Conventional
zig-zag machines are designed
to do straight-stitching, and,
with the insertion of cams, they
automatically form plain zig
zag stitching, some decorative
zig-zag stitching, and do most
of the functional operations
performed by machines with
built-in features, with less con
venience. Simple zig-zag ma
chines do straight-stitching and
plain zig-zag stitching. Usually
machines of this type can be
used for utilitarian zig-zag stitch
ing, but cannot do decorative
work automatically. To learn
what a specific zig zag machine
can and cannot do, study the
instruction manual that comes
with it before you buy. When
buying a zig-zag machine, test'
the straight stitching qualities
first, remembering that the
greatest percentage of most
sewing is straight stitching.
Make sure the machine can
handle the new fabrics, and
that the straight-stitching is
smooth and easy.
Hints for Testing a Sewing
Machine
First, look over the machines
and study the instruction man
uals. When you have found a
machine that interests you,
check the motor to see how it
works: through direct gearing,
motor belt or pulley. A direct
gear drive is most durable and
gives more smooth, even sew
ing than other types; a motor
belt is less expensive, but
make sure the belt can be re
placed easily.
Check the ease of threading
the machine and winding and
inserting the bobbin, and how '
easily tension changes can be
made for straight stitch and
zig-zag stitching requirements.
Test fabric feeding and han
dling qualities, by stitching
with heavy, medium and light
weight fabrics, and determine
how hard or easy the various
features and accessories are to
use by trying them yourself.
When buying a machine
head to put in a cabinet, make
sure the base fits the cabinet;
when buying a portable model,
check the weight to make sure
it s really portable when it's in
the case.
Last, but far from least, make
sure you get a written guar
antee on the machine and its
parts, and determine what yr j
do to obtain service, and in
structions for using it.
