Georgia Power Crews
' Work in Storm's Wake
American farmers and their
traditional sunup-to-sundown
workdays have nothing on
Georgia Power Company line
crews that recently returned
from storm-torn Mississippi.
Almost 400 men, either em
ployed by or under contract to
Georgia Power, were poured
into the area smacked by the
nearly 200-mile-per-hour winds
Os Hurricane Camille.
Roy H. Cagle, Jr., power
company Rome district engi
neer, was among the first to
enter the region after the
violent winds had subsided.
“We averaged working from
13 to 14 hours a day,” he said.
“It was virtually a dawn-to
dark operation. As long as
there was any light at all, we
kept going.”
Mr. Cagle and his group ar
rived in Gulfport, Miss., on the
night of Aug. 18.
“From Hattiesburg south,
power was off,”'he said. “All
transmission-line ties with
other areas had been lost. We
spent the first night in a re
lief shelter with about 600
men, women and children. I
slept on a cot with a straw
mattress and a lot •of mos
quitoes.”
The next morning, Mr. Cagle
said, the group drove to Biloxi,
scene of some cf the worst
damage.
“Drinking water was the
major problem,” he said. “The
water system depended on a
network of small pumps. Os
course, with no electricity, the
pumps weren't working.”
Anticipating an initial short
age of food and water, the men
had bought supplies before
they entered the area that ab
sorbed the full fury of the
storm. After power was re
stored to several motels and
hotels, Mr. Cagle said, water
was available from a number
of wells.
John B. Coleman, district
engineer in Austell, also ar
rived in Gulfport on Aug. 18.
“My group spent the first
night at the Seabee base,” Mr.
Coleman said. “The next day,
we had a rough time moving
from Gulfport to Biloxi be
cause of the trees and other
debris in the roads.
“I didn’t see how those peo
ple were going to live,” he
Continued. “Some houses were
gone without a trace. In one
spot, the only clue that a
house had ever been there was
a concrete floor.”
Marcus Finch, line foreman
from Atlanta, said his crew
first restored power to water
systems and disposal plants,
then began connecting those
buildings that remained stand
ing.
“We found quite a few poles
flat on the ground,” Mr. Finch
said. “Trees were flat too. We
had to clear a lot of trees be

FARMERS REMINDED OF
ASC ELECTIONS
DEADLINE
Farmers today got a last re
minder about important upcom
ing elections of ASC farmer
committeemen who will serve
for the next year as local ad
ministrators of national farm
action programs.
down the street. In one place
we found 13 poles down in a
straight line.
“For the first two or three
days, the mosquitoes almost
carried us off. But after that,
planes began spraying the area
and that helped a lot.”
J. E. Turpin, Georgia Power
line supervisor from Decatur,
described the damage scene as
“a big mess. The newspapers
didn’t — couldn’t — portray
the chaos,” he said. “There
were demolished homes, busi
nesses, pushed-over trees and a
great deal of water damage.
“Practically all the lines had
been blown down or knocked
down by trees,” he said. “The
first day after the storm, only
the hospital and Mississippi
Power’s operating headquart
ers had lights.” He explained
that the two buildings were on
the same circuit, and when
power was restored to the hos
pital, it automatically was re
stored to the headquarters
building.
“We had to get wires out
from under trees and try to
salvage as much as we could,”
Mr. Turpin said. “The first
day we started work on the
water and sewerage systems.
It seemed like we worked a
whole week trying to get those
two back in operation.”
The supervisor said residents
who managed to ride out the
storm offered what aid they
could to the line crews.
“Almost every day there were
people bringing us coffee and
rolls,” he said. “That was a
big help.”
Mr. Finch echoed the praise
of the local residents. “They
were just as gracious and nice
as they could be,” he said.
“They tried to show their ap
preciation for our being there
helping.”
As the line crews worked,
clothing donated by employes of
Georgia Power and The South
ern Company, parent firm of
the utility, was being shipped
from Atlanta to aid hurricane
victims. Some 600 boxes weigh
ing more than 20,000 pounds
were collected from Georgia
Power’s nearly statewide ser
vice area.
C. M. Wallace, Jr., Georgia
Power executive vice president,
called the donations “over
whelming.” He said, “We are
grateful to our employes who
responded so quickly and gen
erously to the appeal for
help.”
Even in the wake of dis
asters, such as Hurricane Ca
mille, there are times to smile.
One Georgia Power crew re
ported that after electiic ser
vice had ben restored to an
apartment complex, a woman
approached the crew’s fore
man and said, “I could just
kiss you!” After she took a
second look at the foreman’s
grimy appearance, he had to
settle for a pat on the shoulder:
According to Mr. H. L. Page,
Chairman, Bryan County Agri
cultural Stabilization and Coh-'
servation Committee, ballots
will be cast by mail. Ballots
have been mailed to all known
eligible voters. These ballots
must be returned in person of
postmarked by not later than
I September 17.
Mr. Page cautioned voters
about signing the statement on
the back of the envelope in
which the ballot is returned.
I The statement is a certification
I that the ballot was marked
■ without undue influence from
any person. “If the statement
is not signed the ballot cannot
be counted as a vote,” Mr. Page
said.
The voted ballots will be
counted at the ASCS office at
10:00 a.m., September 19. Vote
| counting is open to the public.
: The elected committeemen will
meet at a county convention
September 23 to elect farmers
to fill vacancies on the County
: Committee.
The Chairman stressed the
importance of electing repre
sentative farmers as commit
teemen in view of their broad
program responsibilities. Pro
grams administered by the com
mitteemen include the Agri
cultural Conservation Program,
the Cropland Adjustment Pro
gram, acreage allotments, mar
keting quotas, commodity loans,
the feed grain program, the
wheat program, the upland
cotton diversion program, the
national wool program, and
farm storage facility loans,
ther duties are assigned to the
committees by the Secretary of
Agriculture as the need arises.
Wage And Price
Curbs May Have
To Come
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, a successful
businessman before entering
politics, has some definite ideas
about what ought to be done to
halt inflation. Addressing the
Governor's Conference on In
dustrial Development, he de
clared:
“We’re burning this country
up with the flame of inflation
and, if the present restraints
and slowdowns are not success
ful, then I can see no alterna
tive but for this nation to im
plement wage and price con
trols until the conclusion of the
war.”
The governor said some of
“the several billion dollars be
ing applied to anti-poverty pro
grams, such as OEO, in some
useless educational programs
and in some of the foreign aid
programs could be applied to
more essential domestic pro
grams or be used to reduce our
national debt.” He continued:
“If we must cut somewhere,
in order to help snuff out the
flame of inflation, then we
should cut out these non^ssen
tial programs, and not bother
anything as vital to the health,
safety and welfare of our peo
ple as our highway and water
and sewerage programs.”
Gov. Maddox said he thinks
the restraints already imple
mented will be sufficient to
bring inflation under control.
“However, he added, “even if
they prove inadequate, rather
than cut back on highway con
struction and water and sewer
age systems, I would prefer to
see the enactment of some
wage and price control, as dis
tasteful as this would be, for
the duration of the war and as
long as inflation was a prob
lem.”
Maddox said he believed that
the President was ill-advised to
withhold funds “destined to
build and improve highways
and to provide counties and
municipalities with needed im
provements in their water and
sewerage facilities.”
“It is my opinion,” he assert
ed, “that of all the anti-poverty
programs this nation has had in
many years, the greatest is the
buildings of highways and the
water and sewerage systems,
because this brings businesses
and plants and j6bs and oppor
tunities.
“It is utterly ridiculous to
cut back on the programs when
the need is so great while, at
the same time, it is being pro
posed that 12 million people be
added to the welfare rolls.
Gov. Maddox, in talking about
attracting new industry to
Georgia, said what it would
take, in many instances, “is an
improved water and sewerage
facility and a new road or two.
And then, instead of having
people move out of their home
towns into the strange, unchart
ed wilderness of the big city
slums, people would stay at
home and build up their own
communities.”
