AMENDMENT 19
Georgians will go to the polls
next week (November 5) to
vote for candidates of their
choice. In addition, they will
vote on several amendments to
the Georgia constitution.
I would like to call one of
these amendments — Amend
ment 19 —to your attention,
because it concerns products we
consume;. /aypu«flS|
who grow these, products for
Amendment 19 has to do with
Agricultural Commodity Com
missions. At the present time
there are eight of these—for
apples, cotton, eggs, milk,
peaches, peanuts, sweet pota
toes and tobacco.
What Amendment Would Do
Passage of Amendment 19
next week would mean that pro
ducers of these eight commodi
ties could continue their com
missions and commission pro
grams. In addition, it would
give producers of other pro
ducts-—such as livestock, timber
and seafood—an opportunity to
create new commissions.
A "Yes” vote on Amendment
19 is not a vote for Agricul
tural Commodity Commissions.
It merely will give the pro
ducers the right of self deter
mination. Whether the present
commissions are continued, and
whether new commissions are
created, would be up to the
commodities in question. A
majority of the producers of a
particular commodity, through
a referendum, would have to ex
press a desire for the commis
sion. Amendment 19 would give
them the opportunity to hold
such a referendum.
Costs Consumer Nothing
Then, if they voted to have a
commission, they would pay for
it themselves. No public tax
money is involved in organizing
Survey Reveals Need
For Nursing Home Beds
ALTANTA (PRN) - A
recently completed survey of
medical facilities in Georgia
reveals that while the state
currently faces only a modest
shortage of general hospital
beds, a wide gap exists in
meeting the needs of the
elderly and chronically ill who
require nursing home beds for
long-term care.
The Georgia State Plan for
Hospitals and Medical
Facilities - drawn up by the
State Health Department and
approved by the State Board
of Health at its October
meeting - indicates that of a
projected need for 18,627
beds in general hospitals,
17,082 are currently available,
and in use.
However, only 14,442 beds
are presently available in the
state's nursing homes and
other extended care facilities
to fill an estimated need for
Wednesday night Editor and Mrs. Frank O. Miller were guests of the Richmond Hill Lions Club at their Ladies Night meeting which was

“out of this world.” The six pictures which appear with this story were made. They are No. 1 shows Fred Lindsay, manager of the Chap

or conducting the program of
any Agricultural Commodity
Commission. Producers of the
commodity pay the entire cost
by assessing themselves a small
fee on each unit of production.
As county agent, I have had
the opportunity to observe the
work of these commissions.
Their primary purpose is to im
prove the production and
marketing of the products with
which they are concerned. The
commissions do this through
programs of research, educa
tion and promotion — all of
which the commissions them
selves pay for.
Means Better Quality
One result of these program!
has been better quality food
and fiber products for the con
sumer. And I might add, at no
extra cost. In fact, I believe
the commissions have been re
sponsible for lower prices in
some instances. This is because
of lower costs, brought about
by increased efficiency in pro
duction and marketing. Eggs,
for example, are 18.1 percent
less expensive today than ten
years ago.
I believe Amendment 19 will
have a lot to do with future
progress of Georgia agriculture.
I would like to see our farmers
given the chance to continue or
organize commodity commis
sions if they want to. Especial
ly since it won’t cost the con
sumer anything.
Mr. and Mrs. John Stubbs
entertained two guests at their
Jekyll Island home this week

Amy and their guests left early
Saturday and returned home
Sunday.
Mrs. Harry Gill left last
week with her daughter. Mrs.

has been seriously ill for some
time, and her friends and rela
tives are very happy for her to
be able to take this vacation.
23,235 beds for longterm
care.
The plan, based on a
statewide physical inventory',
is drawn up annually for
submission to the Surgeon
General of the U.S. Public
Health Service. When
approved it is the basis for
federal Hill-Burton grants to
Georgia for medical
construction.
Included in the state plan
in addition to general hospitals
and extended care facilities
are survey results for
diagnostic and treatment
centers, tuberculosis hospitals,
rehabilitation facilities and
public health centers.

UPHILL GROUSE HUNT
ATLANTA (PHN) -
Gladys was dumping rain by
the barrelful Friday night, and
I was sitting by the phone
with my hand on the receiver.
I was sure that just about any
minute, Frank Cox would be
calling.
At least, I was hoping he
would. We had planned to get
underway about six a.m.
Saturday for a little
early season grouse hunting.
With all that rain falling, I was
ready to chicken out, but I
hated to be the one to call it
off.
At 9:30 p.m. Friday, Frank
called. He saw it the same way
I did. The weather report
called for rain all through
Saturday. We cancelled our

COLEN FLOYD SERVICE CENJTR
s>Aonheimers Corner Highway 67 2 Miles West of Pembroke
trip. I watched the late show
and went to bed very late.
The next thing I knew, the
phone was ringing. It was
Saturday morning, and the
skies were bright and sunny.
Frank was on the line. “Let’s
go grouse hunting,” he said.
Two hours later we were well
on our way, Frank’s three
setters in the back end of his
pickup.
Once in the mountains, we
found a forest service road
back into the back country.
We swung the pickup off to
the side, climbed out and
began the climb up the closest
ridge.
It sure didn’t take me long
to realize that it had been a
long time since last bird
season, and that my legs and
lungs were anything but in
shape for some hard walking.
And if ever there’s a tough
way to break them in, it’s
grouse hunting! It’s all up and
down, and seemingly mostly
up. It’s through tangles and
underbrush, across branches
and through briars and under
lowhanging limbs.
The dogs began to act
birdy, and suddenly the pup
broke and began racing swiftly
in a small arc. “There she
goes!” shouted Frank. I
looked, but all I saw was the
dog and lots and lots of forest.
“Did you see it?” Frank
asked, wondering why I didn’t
shoot. Negative, I did not.
That swing completed, we
went back to the truck and
drove deeper into the forest.
Frank paused as he brought
the truck to the crest of a
long, steep hill. “Wonder if I
should stop here or go on,” he
mused.
He should have stopped.
But he didn’t. Halfway down
the slope, he could tell this
•just wouldn’t do. He stopped,
began to back up. We didn’t
get far. The tires spun in the
mud.
To make a long story short,
after much pushing, grunting
and groaning on my part, we
gave up and began a long
10-mile hike back toward
paved road.
We were lucky. We got
around the first bend and here
came a jeep with two young
fellows scouting out some deer
hunting territory. They kindly
pulled us out, and we parked
on top of the hill.
As we walked through the
woods, we couldn’t help but
comment on the quiet peace
and serenity, and the extreme
beauty of the woods in late
October. Leaves were ablaze
with color. The air was fresh
and pure, washed clean by
rains from the hurricane.
We stopped at a tiny
branch and scooped up water
for a refreshing drink, before
the dogs decided they’d rather
drink upstream from us.
As we strolled along we
came across a few old
remnants of old cottages and
outbuildings tucked away in
the woods, long-ago
homesteads. Now, there
wasn’t even a clean road to
them. Once we came upon a
long row of long since
abandoned split rail fence.
“I’d give a cookie to have
those rails at home in my
front yard,” I exclaimed.
From there, there was still
an open, if untrod, path down
the hill to another branch. We
crossed over, and began to
climb another ridge. We soon
found ourselves in one good
tangle of rhodedendron and
laurel, on a long uphill climb.
At the top of the hill,
Frank stopped and scratched
his head.
“Which ridge do we cross
to get back to the truck?” he
asked. “Isn’t it that one?” he
pointed to our right.
“No, I don’t think so. I
think we need to go to our
left,” I said, but pointed out I
wasn't ready to let my life
savings ride on my instinct.
We went my way, up
another steep ridge. “The road
should be right there,” I said.
It wasn’t.
“Well, now what?” Frank
asked. “I still think we’re
going the wrong way.”
“I think we need to go
back farther to our left,” I put
in.
“Well, we can always
follow that last branch back to
the trail and go from there, ”
said Frank. Since that was
back to our left, I agreed.
Shortly we came to an old
road that was grown over, so
thick no one could have driven
it. We followed, and it went
up, up, up ... It was so steep
my legs nearly gave way.
At the top, we found our
main dirt road. And to our left
about 100 yards was the
truck. Would you believe there
were a couple of audible sighs
of relief?
No grouse. But it was an
exhiliarating day.

Guaranteed Boat Paint
A new dripless marine
paint guaranteed to prevent
bottom fouling for at least
I 12 months may dramatically
end mariners’ age-old battle
, against barnacles.
The paint, Super Dripless
#B, is manufactured by
! Chilton Company, which be
lieves it to be the first guar
' anteed bottom paint ever
! manufactured.
The new , anti-fouling paint
was tested for over three
years in the laboratory and
on the waterways. During
this time, Chilton’s Super
, Dripless ft 8 substantially
. out-performed all conven-
tional bottom paints tested
with it. In many cases, it
completely prevented marine
growth on hulls of commer-
I cial and pleasure craft for
over three years.
। Two coats of the paint
, form a coating ten mils
, thick, the equivalent of 4to
6 coats of conventional bot
tom paint. Its thick, no-drip
consistency also eliminates
splatteredclotbing and skin.
Surface preparation for the
new dripless is similar to
that of other anti-fouling
I bottom paints.
Available only by mail
, order from Chilton Paint
, Company, 109-09 Fifteenth
Ave., College Point, N.Y.,
. the new paint costs $39.95
per gallon, $10.95 per quart.
A gallon covers 300 square
feet, a quart 75 square feet.
