APPALACHIA S*4
IN GEORGIA
The 35 counties of Georgia
which are included in the Appa¬
lachia bill have good cause to be
happy over the Senate’s approval
of this legislation.
There can be no doubt that the
bill, if the House approves it as
expected, will have a major eco¬
nomic impact on this area.
The reason for certainty is sim¬
ple: $840 million of the $1.1 bil¬
lion in the bill will be spent for
highways and access roads in those
areas of 11 states from Georgia
to New York which are favored.
What has happened in some of
the Georgia areas of Appalachia
during recent years is, in a way,
a regression. In many counties
cotton, corn and other crops, few
farmers remain and that kind
of agriculture on a small scale is
no longer profitable on land that
is not the state’s richest.
Industry has not yet filled the
gap. Welfare rolls have grown.
In only one of these economic
eddies — Dawson, the smallest
of Georgia’s 35 Appalachian coun¬
ties — public assistance payments
in 1963 totaled more than $150,000.
What has kept these counties
from recovering economically, in
many cases, is poor access to the
cities and the main-traveled routes.
Industry has not seeped through
the mountain passes; It has taken
the four-lane roads to more acces¬
sible communities.
Roads obviously will help enor¬
mously in those counties traversed
by only one or two two-lane high¬
ways, many of which are in poor
condition.
The Appalachia bill’s name
makes it sound like an omnibus
measure addressed to all the needs
of that region. But primarily it is
one leg of the table. The others,
in Georgia’s case, are the anti¬
poverty bill, primarily an educa¬
tional program; the Areas Rede¬
velopment Administration, which
did so much in the past, to invite
new industry to depressed areas;
and this state’s own local develop¬
ment commissions.
We cannot with certainty judge
all parts of the Appalachia bill
and we have some doubts about
its fairness to counties that do not
share in the program. But there is
no doubt that, if it becomes law,
a large part of Georgia will bene¬
fit considerably.

Long Walks
Are His Cure
For Pressure
MOSCOW, Feb. 11 (UPI) — The
Soviet news agency Tass reported
that a 65-year-old pensioner cured
his high blood pressure by walking
21,000 miles over the past five
years and four months. He aver¬
aged 31 miles per day.
Alexei Polikarpov told Tass that
he has walked about four-fifths of
the distance to his goal of 26,000
miles — the distance covered by
Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on
his 1961 space flight.
Polikarpov, who calls himself the
“walking sputnik,” was interview¬
ed fin a town in northern Siberia
where he was trudging across the
snow in a ski suit in 40-degree
below zero temperatures, Tass
said.
“I started out with high blood
pressure, but with every thousand
miles I feel myself getting better,”
he said.

What's Going On
In Your
White County Schools
By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent
STUDENTS, did you know that
every day of High School is worth
one hundred dollars to you? Sta¬
tistics show that a high school
graduate earns at least $72,000
more in his lifetime than an 8th
grade dropout. So it means money
in your pocket to stay in school
and get your diploma.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
VALENTINE’S DAY — I was visi¬
ting the White Creek School last
week. Miss Jackson and her class
of first and second graders had a
wonderful display of Valentines.
All their school work was centered
around Valentilne’s Day and I got a
new spirit for Valentine’s Day.
FREEDOM LIVES ON — Mr.
Collins and his class at White
Creek study how and why this
great nation was burn and de¬
veloped. A study such as this could
make us all better citizens.
TEACHERS AT THE WHITE
CREEK SCHOOL are among nearly
16,000 Georgia teachers who are
taking the Department of Educa¬
tion’s television course on How to
Teach Reading. I congratulate
them.
BOOK TO READ — “The Rector
of Justin” by Louis Auchincloss,
is about a New England school¬
master. It may remind you of
some Georgia schoolmasters you
have known.

Attend Highway
Division Lab School
ATLANTA, Feb. 2—The Gaines¬
ville highway field division office
conducted its twelfth annual labor¬
atory school at the division office
headquarters on U.S. 129 east of
Gainesville the week of Feb. 1st.
The purpose of the school is ito
increase proficiency,in the samp¬
ling and testing of iToad materials,
and the correct procedures for re¬
cording test data. The schools are
scheduled during the winter to
take advantage of the lull in road
building activity brought about by
the cold, wet winter weather.
Study topics cover virtually the
entire road building cycle, from
pre-construction soil testing along
a proposed highway route through
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads in¬
spection ol test records. One full
day each is given to concrete and
asphalt paving, using training ma¬
terials and instruction made avail¬
able by the Portland Cement As¬
sociation and the Asphalt Insti¬
tute.
Similar schools are conducted in
each of the Highway Department’s
six field divisions during winter.
The Gainesville divison’s school,
however, is the oldest, and the only
one that runs a full week. Assis¬
tant Field Division Engineer T. S.
Moss is chiefly responsible for its
conduct and planning.
On the final day, Friday repre¬
sentatives of the main Highway
Department laboratory and general
office in Atlanta and the U.S. Bu¬
reau of Public roads took part in
the program.
A meeting of the Gainesville
chapter of the Georgia Highway De¬
partment Engineers’ Association
was held following the close of the
lab school on Friday afternoon.
Lab schools were conducted in
the Cartersville, Tennille, and
Thomaston field division in Janu¬
ary and schools for the Tifton and
Jesup divisions were scheduled for
the week of February 8.

engineer of Cleveland announces

Theology Student
Portrayed on T-V
An outstanding Emory theology
student and four Georgia moun¬
tain churches will co-star on Two
Bells-TV Edition over WSB-TV
Saturday February 27, at 6 p. m.
John Mann, Jr. will portray
the life of a theology student, as
he is photographed in class, teach¬
ing a kindergarten, refereeing ath¬
letic events and preaching at his
four churches on the Nacoochee
Valley circuit.
Camermen have filmed John on
the campus at Emory in the normal
class routine of the theology stud¬
ent and have followed him to the
beautiful Nacoocheee Valley Meth¬
odist Church.
Also on his circuit is “Chatta¬
hoochee Methodist, the little
frame church that was used in
filming the movie “I’d climb the
Highest Mountain."
A dinner on the grounds was
held in February at Loudsville
Camp Ground in White County for
the camermen, despite the weath¬
er. The fourth church on the
circuit is Mt. Pleasant where Eas¬
ter sunrise services are held in
what the young minister describes
as “the most beautiful spot in
narth Georgia.

In The Interest of
Public Order, Liberty
Con Be Maintained
I quote one of our Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United
States who said recently:
Justice cannot be administered,
nor are the lives and safety of
prisoners secure, where throngs
of people clamor against the pro¬
cesses of justice right outside the
courthouse or jailhouse doors. The
streets are not now and never
have been the proper place to ad¬
minister justice. Use of the streets
for such purposes has always
proved disastrous to individual
liberty in the long run, whatever
fleeting benefits may have ap¬
peared to have been achieved.
Those who encourage minority
groups to believe that the U. S.
Constitution and Federal laws give
them the right to patrol and picket
in the streets whenever they
choose, in order to advance what
they think to be a just and noble
end, do no service to those minor¬
ity groups, their cause, or their
country.
Or as another distinguished
Supreme Court Justice phrased it
so eloquently:
The rights of free speech and
assembly, while fundamental in
our society, still do not mean that
everyone with opinions and be¬
liefs to express may address a
group at any public place and at
any time. The Constitution’s guar¬
antee of liberty implies the exis¬
of an organized society main¬
public order, without which
itself would be lost in
excesses of anarchy.
