Georgia Power Company’s industrial develop
ment representatives mean business.
In 1967 they flew 200,000 miles to talk to
hundreds of manufacturers about locating plants
in Georgia.
Within the state, they drove another 50,000
miles to make engineering studies, analyze labor,
water and transportation. And show prime
plant sites to industrial prospects.
These efforts, combined with those of other
businesses, state agencies and chambers of com
merce, keep Georgia’s economy soaring.
For example, last year 245 firms* either built
or expanded plants in our service area. Capital
investment increased almost $365 million, 13,990
new jobs were created, and annual payroll gained
more than s62> 2 million.
Our men are adding to this growth with every
trip. Their case for industrial development is
never closed.
*Each new industry or industrial expansion represents
a capital investment of $50,000 or more and employs
10 or more workers.

since returning home complica

not doing so well but is im

Gov. Lester Maddox
People
ATLANTA (PRN) - No
one had to haul Georgia’s
leaders kicking and screaming
into the 20th Century, and no
one has to push us into the
last one-third of it.
Changes are upon us.
Some changes are needed
and are beneficial --
Some changes, good or bad,
appear inevitable --
But the change from the
local con
t r oI of
education
: at all levels
,to state,
imulti-state
land federal
'control is
neither
good nor
[inevitable.
It is a dead-
ly attack on Democracy which
unresisted will bring its death.
* The four horsemen of this
■ educational tragedy are:
r Instigate -- agitate
i consolidate - amalgamate,
f From the ivory tower of
federal power, joined in by the
Council of State Governments,
the Southern Governors’
Conference and the Southern
Regional Education Board and
, others, our tax money goes for
loud speakers to bray forth
false social doctrines that
instigate discontent and
confusion among otherwise
peaceful citizens.
। These loudspeakers preach
' tirelessly, and with unlimited
' funds to back them, a program
that will, in my opinion, wipe?
out many Negro colleges and
■ universities. My opinion of the
' propaganda in the document,
' “The Negro and Higher
Education in the South” is
Negro educators and other
Negro leaders are being told
“You are inferior, your
schools are inferior and those
you graduate are second rate.”
“We plan to discourage
enrollment in your schools by
reducing what you have to
offer and going to other
schools and lowering entrance
requirements. In this way, we
will force the closing of many
of your schools throughout
the South.
Rather than improve
education as it is implied, 1 am
convinced that implementa
tion of the proposal would do
great harm to both Negro and
white education in the South.
1 resent, as 1 believe most
Negroes do, the implication
that they cannot run their
schools as they have so
successfully done for decades.
Regardless of how high the
motives may be, it is my
judgment that the program
offered is one that would try
and shame the Negro race, and
the Negro leaders in
education, the professions,
labor, public of fice,
agriculture, religion, industry
and finance.
They are being told their
schools are no good, when
they can point with pride, and
justly so, to their great
institutions of higher learning.
The report implies that their
graduates are receiving an
inferior education when they
can point to graduates who are
successful, wealthy and
leading citizens in all walks of
life and who make a
continuous grand contribution
to our state, our region and
our country.
It is my judgment that at
the national, state and,
oftentimes at the local level of
government and education,
too much emphasis is being
placed on buildings, bricks,
numbers and dollars. . .and
too little on education.
With continued lawlessness
moving into education at all
levels, increasing control of
schools by the federal
government, and the threat of
a take-over of America’s
colleges and universities by the
students for a Democratic
society, Student Non-violent
Coordinating committee, the
Dußois Clubs and other
Communist directed groups, it
is no surprise that Gus Hall.
Secretary of the United States
Communist Party, is quoted as
saying they (the Communists)
are winning the battle for the
Communist take-over of
America.
If we are to improve
;ducation, then let us
strengthen the weak
nstitutions. . .not destroy
hem.
If we are to strengthen
ligher education, it cannot be
lone by increasing the number
jf “high risk” students
•ntering higher rated
nstitutions. This is a scheme
o lower the entrance
requirements, thus lowering
the level of education at these
institutions. That cannot
possibly improve education.
At the same time, it would
drain off the better students
from Negro institutions and
along with reducing programs
offered at the Negro schools,
it would assure the closing
down of many such schools of
higher learning.
Abe Lincoln said, “You
can’t lift up the weak by
pulling down the strong.’
I urge that you again study
