Place “General”
On State Lines
Bentley Urges
ROSSVILLE, GA. (PRN) -
Georgia Comptroller General
James L. Bentley proposed
Thursday that the famous
locomotive, the “General” be
taken out of the federal courts
and out of a locked shed in
Louisville, Ky., and be placed
on the Georgia-Tennessee state
line for all to visit.
Speaking to the Rossville
Exchange Club, Bentley said
that when states can’t solve
such simple problems as the
location of the “General” then
they have no right to expect
federal government to keep
out of more pressing and
important problems.
“The failure of state
governments to cooperate
with each other creates a
vacuum that the federal
government will step into
every time,” he declared.
When two states acting
alone can’t solve where to
locate the “General”, how can
they expect to work together
for the solutions of problems
such as water and air
pollution, traffic congestion,
and balanced growth,”
Bentley said.
In his own area of
insurance regulation, Bentley
noted that earlier in the week
he had met in Nashville with
commissioners from several
southern states to discuss
mutual problems and
solutions.
“If more of these types of
meetings among various state
officials are held and realistic
discussions of problems
carried on coupled with the
presentation of sound
solutions, 1 believe that federal
intervention into state and
local affairs will be stopped,”
he said.
“The federal government
does not want to move into
these and other areas, but yet,
when states refuse to work
with each other for solutions
demanded by the public, it has
no choice,” the state official
declared.
He said that if the people
of Georgia, Tennessee and
other states want
governmental officials
sensitive to local problems and
issues rather than insensitive,
far away Washington control,
they should demand interstate
cooperation and facing of the
issues by state leaders.
Turning his comments
again to the “General”,
Bentley said that here is a
good place to start.

Why should business meet- u
ings, sales meetings and ]
business calls sometimes be ।
planned in c ons ide ra ti on of ’
prevailing weather conditions? ,
We suggest that salesmen i
can profitably take advantage j
of high pressure periods for ,
making calls and do their '
"homework” during low pres- '
sure periods.
This is true because low
pressure automatically affects
the nerves by causing dehydra
tion of the tissues. Some people
begin to ache and others feel
a mental depression. This is
not imaginary; it is quite real.
Thus sales meetings, con
ferences and sales calls could
be profitably planned to take ■
place in good weather periods,
quite often, when salesmen and
prospective buyers are feeling
their best, A glance at the
weather map will show when
high pressure areas (usually
fair weather periods) can be
expected to arrive in your
locality.

"We're moving our plant to Georgia...
thanks to Georgia Natural Gas"
That's what quite a few industrialists have
said when they relocated, or opened a new
plant, in various communities throughout
our service area.
These men have been impressed by the
facts regarding the economy of natural gas
in our territory and our knowledge of the
many industrial uses of natural gas. They
know that natural gas is the lowest cost
energy source available, and that it's depend-
