Georgia’s Paper Industry
Protects Environment
(Edi tor’s Note: The
Georgia Chamber of
Commerce has proclaimed
June 9 16 for a “Salute to
Georgia Industry.” The
following article recognizes
the contributions made by our
growing pulp and paper
industry.)
ATLANTA (PRN)
Georgia’s pulp and paper
industry, employing nearly
25,000 persons, has become a
national model for industrial
efforts to protect the
environment from pollutants.
In a salute to this
important industry and its
conservation activities,
Georgia Chamber of
Commerce Executive Vice
President Waiter Cates pointed
out that Georgia leads the
Southeast in production of
pulp and paper -and in
industry expenditures for
water pollution control.
He noted that the state’s
pulp and paper industry
accounts for an annual payroll
of more than $173 million. In
addition to its mammoth
direct payroll, the latest
available figures show the
industry purchased $126.5
million worth of Georgia
pulpwood, mostly from
farmers and private
landowners.
It has spent added millions
on protecting Georgia’s clean
water.
With the demand expected
to double for pulp and paper
products within the next 16
years, the industry is
conducting a sustained
reforestation program that
encourages landowners to
practice intensive forest
management.
During theaialest planting
season, some 63.>million tree
seedlings were planted by the
industry in Georgia.
‘‘The scientifically
controlled planting of
seedlings is designed to lend
nature a hand in keeping
Georgia’s forests growing and
productive,” Mr Cates said.
"In other work toward
forest improvement, a number
of our pulp and paper
companies maintain special
tree nurseries, tinder clinical,
controlled conditions, ‘super
trees’ are being developed
which will grow faster and
provide better fiber qualities
needed by the papermaker.”
“The largest mill in Georgia
is Union Camp Corporation at
Savannah, which employs

some 5,200 persons and
accounts for a healthy chunk
of the prosperity of growing
Southeast Georgia,” Mr. Cates
said. Union Camp is the largest
paperboard manufacturer in
the world.
There are a number of mills
in all sections of the state that
employ more than 500.
Paper and allied products
rank sixth in the state in
employment, the Chamber of
Commerce spokesman said.
There are 118 plants in 33
counties in the state.
"Besides giving Georgia’s
economy a healthy boost, this
industry has set the pace in
utilizing the most advanced
methods of protecting the
environment from industrial
pollutants,” Mr. Cates said.
Georgia’s pulp and paper
firms are active members of
the industry’s National
Council for Air and' Stream
Improvement, an organization
that has become an
increasingly important factor
in the nation’s campaign for
preserving water quality, Mr.
Cates said.
Mr. Cates cited Rome
Kraft, a division of the
Georgia Kraft Corporation,
Interstate Paper Corporation
at Riceboro, and Union Camp
as prime examples of the
industry’s recognition of the
importance of conserving
clean water.
‘‘Rome Kraft has
consistently complied with -
and even gone far beyond
state and federal regulations
governing water pollution
control,” Mr. Cates said.
“Interstate has installed the
first color removal system for
mill effluent in the nation.
Interstate will soon be
i discharging t^a^ed W.atei^ to
. the Newport River that is>
cleaner than the river water
itself. And Union Camp
, recently installed a huge,
r 300-foot diameter waste water
I clarifier that is unique in the
> industry,” Mr. Cates said.
I “But these are just ordinary
examples. The concern for
I being good Georgia citizens by
protecting the environment is
industry wide,” Mr. Cates said.
Mr. Cates said: “It is indeed
a pleasure to tip the
Chamber’s collective hat to
i the state's pulp and paper
I concerns an industry that
, adds so much to our economy
and prospers by practicing
i practical conservation instead
of unthinking exploitation.”

Famous Rock Eagle at State 4-H headquarters between Madison
and Eatonton
TOUR
GEORGIA
\ ofi/
EATONTON, Ga. (PRN)
In middle Georgia there’s an
intriguing archaeological
mystery -two large, rock
mounds whose purpose is
uncertain, virtually
unexplored and far different
from normal Indian mounds.
These are the only two such
mounds located east of the
Mississippi River.
One of the mounds is
located on the road from
Eatonton to Sparta, the other
- Rock Eagle, the largest is
at the State 4-H Center on U
S. 129-441 between Eatonton
and Madison.
Although both are called
eagle mounds, some experts
say they are different, and
question the title. Some say
the Sparta road mound might
better Ire called a kite (or a
member of that bird family)
because of a definitely forked
t t»p not found on tile Rock
aagle effigy. Whether this is
accidentia! or by design is
unknown.
Most visitors to central
Georgia encounter Rock Eagle
Mound where a viewing tower
has been erected at the 4-H
Center. The huge rock pile,
when viewed from an
elevation, is startling.
Obviously, it represents
thousands of man hours of
work by unknown Indians.
Moving the heavy, white, loose
vein quartz rocks and shaping
the mound to form a crude
eagle with its head pointing
eastward obviously required a
large force of men centuries
before power machinery.
Rock Eagle’s dimensions
are huge. The body is 102 feet
long, the wing spread 120 feet,
and the depth (height) of the

Plans Watermelon Day
ATLANTA (PRN) Old
fashioned mountain clogging
by one of the South's
championship groups is
scheduled for Watermelon Day
at the Atlanta State Farmers’
Market, June 29th.
The North Georgia Middle
River Cloggers of Banks,
Franklin, and Stephens
Counties will join featured
country music acts from the
famed Grand Ole Oprv in
Nashville, Tenn.
The group, led by Boyd
Hopper, includes eight senior
and eight junior cloggers. In
colorful costume, these
dancers are considered among
the finest anywhere. Members
of the group have twice won
the Southeastern
championship.
The Cloggers are part of the
Billy Dilworth Show, a
country music package
originating at Radio Station
WLET, Toccoa, Georgia, and
WSPA-TV, Spartanburg. S.C.
The show plays to packed
auditoriums each Saturday
night in Northeast Georgia and
the Western Carolinas.

Commissioner Tommy Irvin
expects 35,000 Georgians to
come out and enjoy the
Watermelon Day festivities,

mound at the bird’s breast is
eight feet.
Indian mounds have been
discovered in many places in
the United States, and the
eagle effigy is common.
However, the mounds
discovered elsewhere differ
from the two Georgian
structures in being built
entirely of dirt. Georgia’s
mysterious rock mounds
contain no dirt.
However, other Indian
mounds in the Peach State are
of dirt construction.
Spectacular examples of
Indian dirt mounds in Georgia
can be seen at the Ocmulgee
National Monument at Macon,
at Kolomoki Mounds State
Park near Blakely, and at the
Etowah Indian Mounds
(maintained by the Georgia
Historical Commission) near
t arlers*ille. Near these
mpurids, traces of Indian
villages have been found, but
there’re no traces of villages
near the rock mounds.
Whether the rock mounds
were burial mounds is
uncertain. There has been no
systematic investigation of
their interiors. Although
amateurs dug into the Sparta
mound more than half a
century' ago, there are no
reports of any evidence of
burial usage. Souvenir seekers
damaged part of the Rock
Eagle Mound, prior to its
preservation by the State, but
again no evidence of burial
was uncovered.
Georgia’s rock mounds are
a mystery now and may be
forever Whether
archaeologists can solve the
mystery remains to be
determined
In addition to the musical
talent, the show will also
feature a watermelon eating
contest for youngsters, ages
510, with a savings bond and
new bicycle going to the
winner. A bond will also be
awarded to the growers of the
State’s largest watermelon.
Activities will be broadcast
live from 2 until 3 p.m. over
WAGA-TV, Channel 5,
Atlanta, with Jim Axel as
official host.
Also making special
appearances on the show will
be the National Watermelon
Queen, Miss Coni Groves of
Belvedere, South Carolina,
along with the newly elected
Georgia Queen and court, to
be chosen at the annual
Watermelon Festival in
Cordele, June 27th.
The show will be one of
many highlights during
Atlanta’s July Jubilee, a
12-day celebration including a
wide variety of athletic,
cultural and recreational
activities, ranging from an
international pop festival to a
sailing regatta.

Lawmen Must Be
Better Educated
Trained-Burson
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Law en
forcement officers at the city,
county and state levels must be
better trained and educated in
the future in order to cope with
today’s changed conditions and
attitude toward the law—a sit
uation brought about through
recent federal judicial decisions
—in the opinion of Col. R. H.
Burson, Georgia’s state public
safety director.
While Georgia presently does
not require any uniform train
ing standards for police offi
cers at these levels of govern
ment, the state administration
will seek legislation at the
1970 session of the General As
sembly to establish mandatory
uniform minimum training
standards for future police of
ficers, he said.
Col. Burson’s remarks were
made in outlining the proposed
legislation at a meeting of the
Chiefs of Police Section of the
Georgia Municipal Association’s
36th annual convention held at
Jekyll Island.
“I hope the General Assem
bly will see fit to pass legisla
tion to remedy this situation,”
said the state’s top law enforce
ment official. “The time has
come when we can no longer
afford to just pin a badge and
strap a gun on a man, call him
a police officer, and tell him to
go out and enforce the law.
This type of officer is a thing
of the past.”
In explaining the steps tak
en aimed at improving the lot
of future Georgia law enforce
ment officers, Col. Burson said
Gov. Lester G. Maddox by ex
ecutive order pumped new life
into the Georgia Law Enforce
ment Council. As a result, the.
Law Enforcement Education
and Training Commission was
created in 1968 and financed
with SIO,OOO from the gover
nor’s emergency fund.
The 13-member commission, j
of which Col. Burson is a mem- ,
ber, is drafting a bill to estab-

lish the Georgia Peace Officer
Standard and Training Council,
which will administer the vari
ous sections of the proposed
law.
Under the bill, the council
would (1) establish minimum
standards for law officers; (2)
set training standards, and (3)
require law enforcement units
to submit their employment rec
ords to the council. The bill ex
empts emergency peace officers
from its provisions.
Commenting on the uniform
training program, the safety
director said the proposed act
requires every newly-hired of
ficer to satisfactorily complete
a basic course of 114 hours of
standard classroom instruction
within 12 months of the date of
employment. This basic 114-
hour minimum training course
would be completed at the
Georgia Police Academy or at
any other school that provides
the courses required under the
act.
“But I want to emphasize,"
Col. Burson said, “that none of
the provisions of this proposed
bill has been designed to apply
to any peace officer who is bm
ployed at the time the law' be
comes effective.”
Declaring that “as our so
ciety becomes more complex
and our accustomed methods of
handling our affairs are chal
lenged from all sides,” Burson
said “it is clearly evident the
individual states must take
steps to assist in local police
training.” Then he warned:
“In fact of the ever-rising
crime rate, if Georgia fails to
meet this responsibility, the
federal government will step in
and compel Georgia and other
states to adopt minimum man
datory police standards on the
terms dictated from Washing
ton.”

25,000 Pullout
Os Troops Only
Token-Talmadge
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U. S.
Herman E. Talmadge, com
•m ent in g in Washington on
President Richard M. Nixon’s
announced intention to with
draw 25,000 U. S. troops from
Vietnam, termed the withdraw
al “a token action to try to
get some response from the
North Vietnamese.”
He described the number of
troops the President plans to
recall as less than five per cent
of the total commitment in
South Vietnam.
“We could easily draw them
from the service (noncombat
ant) forces,” Sen. Talmadge
said. “I would hope that it will
bring some kind of response
from the North Vietnamese,
but I am not overly optimistic.”
Georgia’s senior senator,
Richard B. Russell, dismissed
the W’hite House announcement
as “of no great significance and
will not substantially reduce
American casualties.” The 71-
year-old senator added:
“I hope and pray that it may
have some effect on the limping
and long drawn-out Paris con
ference . . . President Nixon
knows more about the Paris
conference than I do, and if the
meeting at Midway will in any
wise contribute to reducing hos
tilities and mutual withdrawal
of all outside troops from South
Vietnam, it will be a red-letter
day in the history of our na-
' tion.”
