Thi s mon th 's issue is a synopsis of the S ImI' at the

Research Division , outlines in Vi ewp oint the Stal e's capilal in vestme nt in new and exp anded manu iacturing ,
Geo rg ia co ntinues to be blessed with a bro ad based ca pita l inve stme nt in new a nd ex pa nde d manu factu rin g fac ilities. T his was particul arl y true of 1966 a nd is also not ed in a reviewal' the last three yea rs. 19 64- 19 66. The to ta l inves tm en t in 1966 appea rs to be in ex cess of $378 mi llion wh ich is th e first t ime the inve stment tota l has exceeded $300 milli on a nd is ove r S 130 m illion greater th an the 19 65 tot al. Thi s represents mo re tha n a 50 per cent increase . O ver the three- year peri od. inves tment in manu facturin g facilities has reach ed $853 millio n. T he success of ~t h e acce lera ting eco no my of G eo rgia may be att ributed in part to the new jobs crea ted by thi s capita l investm ent. Prospect s fo r 19 67 would ind icat e th at G eorgia will aga in excee d the $300 mill ion inve stme nt tot al ~i n new ,~n d ex pa nde d manufactur ing operat ions as exce llent s ites and a qu alified source of labor rem ain s th rou ghout the State .
An othe r im pressive fac tor 'Of last year's invest ment was the num ber o f multi-million do lla r plant s a nd facilities which occurred in almos t all of th e industri al categor ies. Th e number of these' fac ilities has incr eased ove r pre vio us yea rs stre ngthening th e ind ustria l base whi le mai nta ini ng t he d iver sity of inve stme nt o f recen t years . More tha n 65 of th e 357 pro ject s invol ved a n investme nt o f more than a million doll ar s. An oth er enco urag ing point of these millio n doll ar proj ect s is th e even split bet ween new and expa nded pl ants. as 36 new plants a nd 34 ex pa nde d o per ations invested $ 1 millio n or mo re. It is a health y sign to not e th at indu stry alread y loc ated in G eorgia has a potent ial which stimulate s the ex pa nsion of ex isting faciliti es.
Howeve r. the dollar tot al , as opposed to th e number of projects we ighs heavil y in favor of th e new project s. Overall, 82 per cent o f tot al cap ital ex pe nd itures wer e in milli o n doll ar p ro ject s.
Th e imp act of thi s record cap ital ex pe nd itur e- an estimated 16.000 to 20, 000 new job s for G eo rgian s!
G ro uping the investm ent by Sta ndard Indu strial C lassificat io n, the ch emical indu str y was the lead er in 1966 followed by textil es. tr an sportati on eq uipme nt. rubber and pl astic products, pulp a nd pa per p roduct s. a nd e lectrical machiner y in th at o rde r. O ver $23 I m illion of the investm ent was in th e three leading industri es of chemicals. text iles. a nd tra nsportat ion eq uip ment. T he che mica l indu stry invested the pr ed omin ant sha re of ca pita l ex pe nd itures of a ll industri es. O ver $ 100 millio n wa s a lloca ted fo r va rious p rojec ts reflectin g a n inc rea sing tr end fo r th e che mical indu stry to locat e facilities in G eorgia.

The resurging tex tile industry was seco nd in investment in 19 66 and pr obably holds th e key to th e hig h level of capital ex pe nd itures of recent yea rs . While the investm ent of th e textil e industry in th e State has always been sign ifica nt, during 19 65 , whe the r du e to the eliminat ion of two-price cotton o r to incr eased dem and , the textil e industry commenc ed an investment program which placed almost $ 140 mi llion in plant and faci lit ies in th e past two yea rs.
Ha vin g th e la rgest em ploy me nt and representing the la rgest ind ustria l mark et , th e text ile ind ustry has adde d stre ngth to an alrea dy active eco no my. With two big yea rs behind it, th e text ile ind ustry sho uld continue to invest large amounts in 1967.
T he tr anportati on eq u ipme nt ind ustry contributed the third largest amo unt of ca p ita l investm ent to th e eco no my of the Stat e . T wo major airpla ne asse mbly pl ants a nd an increasing number of mobile home and tr ailer pl ants anno unced increased cap ital ex pe nd iture pl an s. The ind ustry ha s allocated $57 million in capital funds in asse rt ing G eo rgia's role as the transpo rtatio n center o f the Southea st in auto mo b iles, mobile homes, and ai rcraft. O ve r th e p ast three yea rs, the tr an sportation eq ui pme nt industry has been fourth in capital investment.
Fo llowing beh ind the top three industri es, the next three lar gest investm ent industries, rubber and pl astic products, pulp and pap er products and electrical mach ine ry represented ano the r $63 milli on in cap ital ex pe nd itures. Ea ch of th e indu stries ha ving abo ut $20 milli on in investm ents with two of th ese, rubber a nd p lastic products a nd electrical m ach inery be ing included bec au se of large inv estm ents by an ind ividual plant in ea ch cat egory. Pu lp and pap er, which through the yea rs has inves ted th e lar gest amount of capital in th e State. aga in ranked a mo ng th e major investment industri es but witho ut an y inve stm ent in a major pulp and pap er mill. The $20 million in 1966. practically all in paper products, appe a rs sma ll in rel ation to th e three ye ar to ta l in excess of $ 180 million in pulp and p ap er plants.
In reviewin g th e last three yea rs, basicall y th ese sa me industri al cat ego ries we re th e leading investm ent industr ies. Th e onl y cha nge is the rep lacem ent of the foo d products ind ustry and fa b ricated me ta ls industry for rubber a nd pla stic s and electrical mach iner y. Hi storicall y. th e food industry h as been a leading industry in th e Stat e and o nly slightly mi ssed bein g amo ng th e six leadin g indu stri es. Tn fact. th e food industry increased its capital inve stm ent significa ntly ov er pr eviou s yea rs to $ 18 million in 1966. Fabricated metals is an indu stry wh ich has con sisten tly been deve loping itself over the yea rs unt il its steady investm ent witho ut undul y, larg e single plant ex pe nd itures h as brou ght it int o th e ranks of the six lar gest investm ent industri es ove r the last three yea rs .

people- for exa mple, ~he r~lpid transit car. Th ere .is one design propo sa l being displayed at trade sho ws III the Atlanta area. It' s referred to as the "Ne w Scot""Steel Car of Tom or row." At first glimpse, the rapid transit car look s like a mispl aced interplan et ar y vehicl e. But actu ally the steel car of tom orrow, developed by U. S. Steel Cor po ratio n, will be used to facilit at e rapid transportat ion of today. Th e SCOT prototype is onl y an exa mple of th e type of vehicle which will be used in the system- engineers have not yet decid ed o n a specific design.

Richard H. Ri ch . Cha irma n of MARTA, believes

that. " Early completion of the rapid tr an sit syste m is

the only hope of relieving the traffic problem s which

plague Atlanta." With th is sense of imm edi acy, the

program is being launched into action. E nginee ring

consult ants to M AR T A. Par son s-Brinckerh off-Tudor-

Bechtel. arrived in A tlanta on December 5 to receive

a br iefi ng on the status of development of the Atlanta

rapid transit system. Aeri al photograph s of the area,

alignments of the system line s, and several proposals

for subway locati on s and levels were highli ghted dis-

cussions at th e meetin g.

.

Since the esta blishment of MARTA in 1965 , outstanding Geo rgia businessmen who believe in th e success of the rapid tr an sit system ha ve sponsored the program. On the Board of Director s ar e man y distinguished Geo rgians-Atlant a bu sinessman , Rich ard H. R ich. Chai rma n; R oy A. Blount, representing DeKalb Co unty, is Vice Cha irma n; R obert F. Ad am son , Treasurer ; and Glenn E. Benn ett, Secret ar y. Also representing the Cit y of Atlant a are Mill s B. Lane, J r. , L. D. Milton, and Rawson Haverty. Other county representatives are: Edgar Blalock , Clayton County; Dr. Sanford Atwood , DeKalb County; W. A. Pulver and Mitchell C. Bishop fro m Fulton County; K. A. McMillon , Gwinnett County; and Oti s A. Brumby, Jr. , ob serv er-representat ive of Co bb County.

Speaki ng for the MARTA members, R ichard R ich concludes th at, " By completin g o ur planned rapid transit system. we can remove ten s of thousand s of commuter ca rs from the expressways and mak e it easier for those who have to dri ve to reach the ir destin ati on s; by doing th is, not only will Atl ant a continue 'o n the move' but traffic itself will be able to 'move',"

AVIATION ADVANCES
Runway Review
Georgia's airport program is flying high . The dedic.ation of nine airports last year is outstanding in the list of accomplishments of the Av iation Division.
Among the first was the dedication of th e Roosevelt Memorial Airport at Warm Springs by Governor Sanders on April 12th with the attendance of many dignitaries, among whom wa s Franklin D . Roosevelt, J r.
O.n !uly 21 st, t.he Loui sville Municipal Airport at Louisville wa s dedicated and had the di stinction of being the mo st quickly constructed airport in the entire sys te m.
~he N ewnan-Coweta County Airport at Newnan wa s dedIcate? on. July 27th with. a. big barbecue and rally. T~e entire city and .county JOIned together in making thi s one of the most interesting and outstanding dedications the Division has ever had.
On October Ist, the Canton-Cherokee County Airport at Canton had their dedication with the Honorable Phil Landrum, Congressman from th e Ninth D istrict, as speaker.
October 12th saw Governor Sander s dedicating the Wa shington County Airport at Sandersville, with the added attraction of his flying to the ceremonies in a P-51 fighter plane of World War II vintage.
Six Airports in Thirty Days!
Georgia again broke aviation records with six airport dedications in thirty da ys. During th e month of December, 1966, Governor Sanders dedicated the airports at Madison, Metter, McRae and Eastman, with the last two a double-header in one afternoon! And to cap this off, the airports at Calhoun and Alma were dedicated the first week of J anuary, 1967. Six dedications in thirty days reached a high achievement level for the Sanders administration under which Georgia led the nation in aviation advances.
De spite overcast skies and occasional rain, many turned out for the dedication ceremonies at Madison. Among those present was Mr. Robert B. Ward, Executive Director of the National Business Aircraft Association of Washington, D . C, who commended the citiz~~s of Madis.on and Morgan County on joining Georgia s progressive trend to community airports and th e industry which the y bring.
Again at Metter, the we ather was bad, but thi s did not discourage a good many pilots who flew in for the dedication. Bands from Metter High School and from Fort Stewart added to the festive occasion.
At McRae, the Telfair-Wheeler Airport was dedicated on December 29, 1966, at 2:00 p.m. Officials of the Sunbeam Company were there from their home office. The McRae Airport was built when Sunbeam indicated an interest in loc ating in the are a.
The Eastman-Dodge County Airport, at Eastman , was ~edicated on .the same aft ernoon at 3 : 30 p .m. Eastman IS the home of the Stuckey Industries, a division of the Pet Milk Company, wh ich had its North American twin jet Sabreliner on the runway.

One measure of success can be read from the latest travel sur vey conducted for I & T by th e University of Georgia Bureau of Business and Economic R esearch . Th e report, relea sed in late 1966 , revealed that tourist expend itures in 1965 were $429. 9 million. This represents an I 1.4 per cent increase over the previous year, while the natio nal gain averaged o nly six per cent to eight per cent.
Th e surve y also showed that tourism contributed $35.4 million in state tax revenu es during the period .
In 1966 , the Tourist Division processed 89, 183 inqu iries; sent 921 ,710 piece s of literature in bulk mail ings; and circul at ed 15,855 press ' relea ses to various travel news medi a throughout the country.
Last year, the Tourist Divi sion participated in travel and vacation show s in Columbus and Cleve land, Ohio; Chic ago, Illi nois, and Toronto, Ca nada. Nearly four million attended these events, and over 10,200 people requ ested additional information from Georgia exhibitors.
Th e To urist Division published two editions of the 1966 CALENDAR OF EVENTS, a new D RIV ING THROUGH GEORG IA booklet, and a FISH AND F ISH ING IN GEORG IA brochure, along with a VACATION GEORGIA '66 co lor supplement for the Stat e's newspapers.
Th e Division served as a co-sponsor of the "Miss See Georgia First" bea uty pageant , the ann ual Governor 's Conference on Tourism, and Service Station of the Year contes t. In addition the D ivision was involved in promoting Georgia Vacation Plann ing Week, the Spring To ur of Homes and G ardens, the Fly Around Georgi a To ur, and Make Geo rgia Beautiful expanded this yea r to a month-long campaign.
An attractiv e poster and display program was devel oped by the I & T Tourist Division in 1966. Th e colorful poster s of G eorgia's vaca tio n attractions were designed for use in bu s, airline and trai n tick et offices, and in restauran ts and othe r travel serving bu sinesses.

Tu lom a Gas Produ cts Co mpa ny has ann ounced an expansion of their fertilizer o pera tions in Georgia, A labama and Fl orida and the additio n of "Cro p-Ma te" liquid fertilizers to their product line.
K. W. Cross, South R egion al Man ager for Tu lorna, said th e compa ny's plans call for an ultr amodern manufactu ring plant at Rochelle, and retail out lets in A labama, Florida and throughout Geor gia.
Th e new plant at Rochelle will con vert ph ospher ic acid, the most modern fertilizer raw mater ial yet developed, and ammo nia into a base liquid mix solution.

R etail outlets will be equipped to .store and handle these blend s as well as the compan y's present line of anhydro us ammo nia.
According to 'Cross, T ulo ma's decision to aggres sively expan d fertilizer mark et ing activi ties in Geo rgia was based on a study indicating a strong and grow ing rura l econo my for the State.
Geor gia farm er s now bu y more than $6 2 mill ion worth of fertilizers annually. Th is amou nts to five percent of the nation 's tot al co nsumption. In addition, agro nomy experts at th e Un iversity of Geor gia estimate th at acres harvested in the State will increase some 20 percent by 1974.
Tul om a's selectio n of retail plant sites is th e result of a co unty-by-county ana lysis of acrea ge and crop concentra tion.

Geor gia . A me rica n Cryogen ics, Inc ., headqu art ered in Atlanta , Georgia, had a mod est beginning in 194 5 as a welding supply distribut or in Au gusta, Georgia, wh ich subsequently becam e M ar ks Oxygen Compan y, sta rted by Pierce E. M ark s, Sr. T he co mpany began with $4, 500 and some war sur plus oxy gen cylinders .
Mark s Oxygen expanded its production of indu strial gases in 1952 and in 195 8 it installed its first air sepa ra tio n plan t at A ugus ta for p rod uction of liquid and compressed indu strial gases. F rom 1958 to 1960 an aggressive mer ger and acq uition program brou ght in Coyne Cy linde r Co mpa ny, Californi a Oxygen Compan y, Sierra Ox ygen Compan y. Western O xygen Compan y, Ind ep end ent Enginee ring Co mpa ny, Fl orid a Oxygen Ser vice, Inc., Fortson Welding Supply Co., and McKesson Appliance Compan y.
Th ese companies. together with Mark s Ox ygen Compan y. Inc. , were co nso lida ted into Am erican Cryogenics. Inc ., as a corpor ate nam e in 1960. Further expa nsion result ed in 1962 with the completiton of a 100-tons-p er-day cryogenic liquid plant at Decatur, Alabama. The company grew at a rapid pac e and in 1964 becam e a wholl y owned affi liate of Stand ard Oil Compan y (New Jer sey). in a diver sification move by Standard .
The company's mark eting operations a re carried on through the Industri al G as Divi sion and the Equipment Division s.
Th e Indu stri al Ga s Division manufactures liqu id and gaseo us oxyge n, nitrogen and argo n as well as acetylene, hydrogen and helium gases. medical and anesthes ia gases and spec ial gas mixtures.
Am er ican Cryogeni c's pr inc ipal a ir separation plants producing liquid and co mpresse d indu stri al gases are located in Augu sta and Savann ah , Georgia; Orlando. Florid a; Decatur. Alabama ; Hou ston and Od essa. Texas; Sant a Fe Springs. Sac ram ent o and Uni on City. Cal ifornia. and Ren o. Nevad a. Other production fac ilities are being planned for the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United Stat es for the compan y's continu al gro wth.
Th e proximit y of seve ral of its air separa tion plants to maj or space activit ies prov ides continu al participation in the vast market dem ands of liquid ox ygen and nitrogen at NASA's test and launch centers. Thousands o f t;ns o f these cr yogenic liquid s are del ivered to Mar shall Space Flight Cent er , Huntsville. Al ab am a; Mississippi Test Facilit y. and test and laun ch center s in California from the company's plants at Savannah . Georgia; Decatur, Alabam a; Bayport . Texas. and Santa Fe Springs. Cal ifornia .
However, contributing to the country's space pr ogram is just one aspect of the cryogenic mark et s served by American Cryogenics. Today the world of "Super Cold "-Cryogenic s-has becom e a significa nt commer cial and scientific tool with man y import ant uses in di ver sified fiield s, including stee l making. met al working, chemicals. petrochemicals. ae ros pace , food processing , medical. surgical. petroleum, electrical. electronic instrumentation. process control , refrigeration , power gene ration. power tr an smission. data processing and communicati on s.

In addition to industrial and medical gases thi s division ma rke ts a full line of weld ing equipment, welding supplies, safety equipme nt and oth er relat ed items. These are typic ally marketed from company-owned d istrict and branch sales offi ces and distributor org anizations located in major cities and town s acro ss the United Sta tes. Stores located in Georgi a ar e in Atlanta , Savannah, Augusta and Gainesville .
A me rican Cryogenics ha s three diversified equipment areas. The Coyne Cylind er Di vision , with plant s in San Francisco; Memphis, Tennessee, and Br antford, On tar io, Canada. is a world lead er in the manufacturing of acetylene gas cylind ers. Thi s division also markets a var iety of compressed gas cy linde rs, hydr ostatic testin g eq uipment and cylind er valving machines. Coyne markets worldwide and ha s licen sees in the Ph ilippin es. Ja pan, A ustralia and South Africa .
The McK esson Division has been prominent in the field of anesth esia and respirator y equipme nt for many years. In addition to anesthesia gas machines, McKesson manufactu res compresso rs, basal met aboli sm instru ments, ox ygen tents, re spirato~s and related item s for the medical and dent al profession s and markets inte rn ationally from its plant at Toledo, Ohio.
T he Cr yogenic Equipment Division, located in O'Fallon, Illinois, manufactures air separation plants operate d by the Industrial Ga s Divi sion and also manufactures plants for th e chem ical and pe troc he mica l companies in the United States, Ca nada, and a number of Asiatic countries.
Cryogenic Equipment also manufacture s high pressure tube trailer s for a vari et y of compressed gases, cylinder valving machines, hydrostatic testing equipment, heat exchangers and related item s.
T he cryogenic ind ustry is now movi ng into th e co nsumer field . The super freezi ng of ba nanas, grapefrui t, toma toes and othe r delicate vegeta bles and fruits by cryogenics processes promises mu ch for the future. T his co ld co uld ena ble man y fru its and vegeta bles to be stored for the first time . Apparentl y th e crystals tha t rupture the 'cells of the products do not have time to form since the temperature drops so fast. A ship loade d with frozen food s has already trave led from New York to Puerto R ico using no mech anic al refrigera tio n. Th e food was coo led with liquid nitrogen to

320 degrees below zero . T he food ar rived at 34 deg rees below zero-just the right temper ature for tr ansfer to a commercial freezer locker. Th e food was so cold it furn ished its own refri ger ation using only the normal insul at ion found on a freezer- equi pped ship.
As the cr yogeni c ind ustry has developed man y indu strial applications for its pr oducts, there is trul y eno rmou s research and development going on applying cryo genics to con sum er products.
Added to American Cryo ngenics' experie nce and enginee ring know-how in gas techn ology are the vast resources of Standard Oil Company (Ne w Jer sey), and especially ESSO R esearch & E ngineering .
Tod ay's laboratory processes are becoming tom or row's pr actic al application in the exciting and ch alleng ing field of cr yogenic s, the wond erful World of Super Cold .
Plants such as this one located in Savannah , Georgia and Hallston , Texas produ ce more than 400 tons per day of oxygen , nitrogen and argon. Th e low tem perature separation unit including the distillation colum ns, heat exchangers and auxiliary equipment are packaged in two "cold boxe s," one of which is 12' in diameter and 94' in height. These boxes are manufactured and assembled by A merican Cryogenics Cryogenic E quipme nt Division .

DIRECTOR'S VIEWPOINT
By LT. GEN. LOUIS W. TRUMAN . . . Executive Director

A Year Of Progress!

Geo rgia is continuing to be blessed with a broad based ca pita l investm en t in new and exp anded manufacturing faci lities. Th e tot al investm ent for 1967 exceede d $422 million for a gai n of $44 m illion ove r 19 66 and $ 175 mill ion mor e th an 19 65. Fo r th e first tim e, the three year tot al exceeds the billion doll ar level.
New indu str y in G eorgia has averaged $89 .2 m illion for the past nine years . T he 1967 figure has dou bled that average . For ex panded indus try, the 1967 figure is over three times as lar ge as the nin e year average of $75 .8 mi llion . 1967 was a record year for the State of Georgia.

To day, ind ustria l expa nsio n is progressing at a rap id pace . A basic reason fo r th is expa nsion ca n be found in the ever- increasi ng' tr end towar d decentralizat ion Industries are sp rea d ing into areas whi ch were once totally agrarian and , in so doin g, have ushered in a cha nged socio-e co no mic orde r, wh ich is ch aract erized by an expa nded loc al eco no my, genera l co mmunity growth, populati on increases, and lar ger schoo l enrollme n t.
We are all aware th at manufacturing is no t the o nly course cha rte red by which the persorial inco me of our peo ple might be incr eased. No t eve ry co mmunity ca n wish for and receive a natural employme nt stimulus such as a milit ar y ba se, a tourist att raction, or a research facility- but all of them can see k to gain a new manu factur ing plant.
Chambers of Co mmerce, area planning and develop ment co mmiss ions, sta te age nc ies, bank s, railroad s, utilities, and a number of othe r deve lopment organiza tio ns can coo pera te with technical assis ta nce and servi ces. Yet, at the hear t of any deve lopment p rogr am , ther e mus t be vigorous , know ledgeable local lead ers who have made thei r commun ities ph ysicall y att rac tive and who have developed specific program s with intelligent lon gra nge objectives .
It, co nseque ntly, rem ain s for the peopl e at the loc al level to determine accura te ly what potenti als exist in thei r res pec tive area and how these pot entials might bes t be reali zed .
In ter ms of agg rega te numbers, Geor gia's indu stri al progress can be pro ject ed ove r the next few yea rs . Ho wever, ther e are a great man y unc ert ainties invo lved in the project ion of eco no mic endeavors. Indu str ial deve lopment is particularl y subject to the per form anc e at the nation al level. Perhap s th e two singular ite ms tha t co uld grea tly cha nge any co njec tures mad e her e

would be the V ietnam War and the War on Poverty. Ce rtai nly, the latt er will ex ist with the degree of emph asis being dep endent upon what is don e in V ietn am . A lso, techn ological ch an ges are more likely at tim es of stro ng milit ar y requireme nts.
For a grea te r per specti ve, Geor gia's grow th, relat ive to the progress of the Southeast and othe r region s of the United States, sho uld be examined. Such an examination will provide a more mean ingful ap praisal of the expansion expected to take place.
A co mparative analysis of employ me nt of the Southeas t, with employmen t figures in othe r region s of the nat ion , indi cat es th at the Southeastern area per cent age of manufacturing em ploy ment will have increa sed from 15. 1% in 1950 to 18.6 % in 1975. The stre ngthe ning of Geor gia's position , as the third lar gest manufacturing emp loyme nt region in the Un ited Stat es, is con vincin g evide nce that ours is an ind ustrial South. O ver the sa me period , the heavily ind ustrialized areas of the M idAtlantic and Great Lake sta tes are ex pec ted to co ntin ue to decl ine in their p rop ortion of manufactu rin g emp loyment.
To substa ntiate further the ex uberant grow th taking place in Geor gia , T abl e I sho uld be exa mined. Eig ht of Georgia's industr ies, all in the h igher skill ca tegory, are expected to grow at a mor e rapid pace than th e average rate for industries reflecting positive gro wth (i.e., all industries with an expected rate of growth over 58 .3 % ). O f these, only one is ex pected to have a greate r growth ra te fo r the Southeast as a who le. A t the nati onal level , only two industries are ex pected to grow fas te r than the ra te for Geor gia.
F rom the evide nce in th is T abl e, it is safe to asse rt that Georgia will make grea t strides in beco ming one of the foremost industrial sta tes in the growing Southeas t.

GEORGIA DEVELOPMENT

Georgia Now "In-Migration" State!

First TiDle In This Century!

By ROSS W . HAMMOND
Chief, Industrial Development Divis ion
Georg ia Institu te of Technology
R ecent eco no m ic resear ch ind icates th at Georgia, for the first time in thi s centu ry, has becom e a net inmigrati on sta te. Th is impo rta nt rever sal of a lon g-time trend of out-migration occ urred so me time during the period from 1960 to 1965 , when 8 1,000 mor e peop le came into the state than left it.
Such a development is a ba sic ch ange with a profound implicatio n. For the first tim e in this ce ntury, G eor gia' s eco no my produced eno ugh jo bs to handl e not only the sta te's natural populat ion increase, bu t to att rac t residents from ot he r sta tes as well.
Thi s trend has co ntinue d th ro ugh 1967. Th e pas t yea r saw man y significa nt plant locat ion s and plant ex pa nsio ns, a rising per ca pita inco me, and redu ct ion in Geor gia's lab or sur plus. Th is situa tion reflect s th e progress that Geor gia's eco no my is making.
However, much work rem ain s to be don e to correct some enviro nme nta l fact or s which still weaken Georgia's att ractiveness to ind ust ry. Whi le mu ch pro gress has been mad e in ed ucati on in Ge or gia, efforts to upgrade educa tion at all levels must be inte nsified if Geor gia is to att rac t its sha re of the higher-paying indu stri es. Th er e also is a need for sta tewi de reven ue bond legislation to permit all part s of Geor gia to uti lize th is fina nci ng med ium . Th e tax environmen t needs (and is receiving) study . Addit ion al and mo re co mprehe nsive manpower data and tra ining are desirable.
Over all, Georgia has two ind ustrial development advantages which no t all Southe astern states share. Th e first is a state govern men t which is acute ly aware of the need for mor e ind ustry and determ ined to see k it aggress ively. Th e seco nd is the mu ltipli city of sta te-

wide and local developme nt age nc ies which, in conce rt, have the potential for produci ng the greates t industr ial expansion yet seen in Georgia.
Georgia Tech's Industrial Development Di vision (I D D), as one of these sta tewide organiza tio ns, wor ks cooperative ly with othe r agencies to achieve a co mmon goa l: to stimula te and acce lera te eco no mic development in Geor gia . 100 presently part icipat es in projects with suc h age ncies as the Georgia Dep artment of Industr y and Trade, Georgia State Ch amber of Commerc e, Georgia Municip al Associa tio n, Georgia Power Company, and the Georgia Indu strial Develop er s Associati on , as
well a.s ? nu mb er of area plan ning and develop me nt
co mrrussions. Som e o f the probl em s relating to Geor gia's industrial
progress are being studie d by the Indu st rial Development Division. Thi s pro blem-so lving activity is the p rimar y co nce rn of the 75- me mbe r sta ff of thi s eleve nyea r-o ld unit of Tech 's Enginee ring Ex pe rime nt Station.
Th e D ivision 's acti vities cover a wide ran ge of programs . Th ey include basic eco no mic resear ch on the natu ra l resources of the sta te, ma rket analysis, ma npower resources. managem en t and tec hnic al assista nce to indu str y, community development , industri al site and d istrict stud ies, feas ibility stud ies, inte rna tional developme nt activi ties, and eco no mic deve lop me nt trai ning. Th ese staff activities are backed by one of the mos t extensive co llections of eco no mic deve lopme nt information in ex istence .
Many unpublished, as well as mor e th an 400 pu blished, reports have result ed fro m these activities and most of these are avai lable to inter ested individuals. A major effort is made to see that th e recommendation s co nta ined in these reports ar e implemen ted to correct ident ified deficiences or to imp ro ve the Geor gia economic env iro nment.

After Feasibility Studies ...What?

Utilization of Feasibility Studies

Th e Departm ent of Ind ustry and Trade is cooper ating with the Industrial Developmen t D ivision of the Georgia Institut e of Tech nology in publ icizing their feasibility stud ies o n Geor gia manufacturing oppo rtunities. A number of these rep orts lend them selves to wide di str ibut ion becau se they are applica ble to seve ra l indu str y gro ups.
To full y utilize these studies, they ar e summa rized in an att rac tive mailing broc hure and sent to firms th ro ughout the nat ion in related manu facturing fields. Distributio n lists ar e co mpiled fro m Dun and Bradstreet' s Milli on Dollar Direct or y- a listin g of all man -

A rchitect's drawing of multimillion dollar tire plant now under construction at A lbany by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company

Th ere was an air of economic optimism for the area and all of Georgia when ground was broken in Albany for a multi-million dollar passenger tire plant of The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company.
T wo high officials of Fire stone indicated that the plant, which will produce 17,000 tires daily when pro duc tion begins in the summer of 1968 , may have to be expanded within the next several year s if the tire replecement market continues to grow in the South east.
Governor Lester Maddox said establi shment of the " , . . new plant in Albany will usher in an unparalleled expansion of the economy for Albany and southwest Georgia and that it will have a stimulating effect on the economy of the entire state."
Ea rl B. Hathaway, president of F ireston e, praised officials of the state, county and city for their assistance in making the plant location in Albany possible, then asked for continued cooper ation of Geor gians while ex pla in ing:
"To keep growing, we need winners on our team , The spirit and aggre ssiveness we have been shown in Georgia will be welcome on the Firestone team. "
Herb ert H . Wiedenmann, vice president of tire production for Fir eston e, while address ing a lunch eon gather ing at Doubl egat e Country Club, explained the plant will employ 900 to 1,000 persons.
" I should hop e the number of employees will increase over the year s as expansions are made to provide the tires needed in the futur e, Ou r engineers certainly

were looking ahead to expa nsions when they acquired nearl y 350 acr es for the plant site."
Th e site is located along U. S. Highway 82, two miles east of Albany, The plant will be Fir eston e's first manufacturing facility in Georgia. However, the company long has had hundreds of deal er s and stores throughout the state. The company also has district sales offices in Atl ant a,
In addressing remarks to the Fir eston e officials, Governo r M addo x said:
" I sincerely hope we can do more to sell Georgia to you and to oth er indu strialists of this country than ever befor e. We have already embarked upon a number of program s in the fields of education, highways, ment al health and correctional reform s.
"We have esta blished a coop er ative spirit between state and local govern ments which will assur e the un ified app roach to the problems which confront us."
Th e Go vernor also paid tr ibute to the Am erican way of life when he explained:
"T his new factory will serve as eloquent testimony to the fruit s of free enterprise, a system which has mad e us the richest, most affluent and most powerful nation on ea rth. That is why we-as benefactors-must always guard, protect and strengthen it."
Mr. Hath away predict ed dem and s for re placement passenger tire shipments will increase from 107 million unit s this year to 160 million tires by 197 5.

A Year of Progress? It's only the Beginning!

By J. W. FANNING
Vice President for Services, University of Georgia
and
Director, Institute of Community and Area Development
Georgia is making significant grow th in eco nomic development an d has atta ined a position of nat ion al emine nce in the pr ogress which it ha s made in rem aking its eco nomy. Th e grea t determinati on of Geor gia to lead is show n clearl y, during recent yea rs, in its efforts to recruit new eco nomic activity, to ass ist ex isting industries to enlarge and d iversify, and to pr ep ar e the co mmunities and area s of Georgi a to receive and serv ice the bro ad enin g spectru m of econo mic acti vity. Th is sta te has moved from rural to urb an , fro m pr edominantl y agricultural to a bal anced economy with indu stry and tr ad e pla ying a major ro le and from a sta te amo ng states to one of the outsta nd ing states in the nation in economic activity in a relati vely sho rt period of time. Th e future look s good for G eor gia as it builds upon the expe riences of the past to create a new eco nomy and rem od el its communities.
Th e early indu stri al development of Geor gia grew from the processing of the man y products of its farms. Upon th is agri-industry base, Geor gia learn ed ea rly to apprecia te and enco urage the multipl ication of job opportun ities in its citi es and towns. Th e for ests of th is sta te sta nd as the raw materi al base for a giant industrial complex. So do the cro ps in livestock and poultry enter prises of our far ms. Georgia today, with its grow ing urb ani zat ion and splendid locat ion on the eas te rn seaboard, is developing a highl y sophistica ted indu str ial and business complex.
Th e institutio ns of higher ed uca tion in this state have a distinctive rol e to play in this pro gressive program of cha nge and adjustm ent. A new Sound of the Sixties became clear at the Un iver sity when the need was

clearly recognized to bring all of the competenci es of th is institution into the service field in helping to develop the reso urces an d eco nomic potent ials of th e states and its co mmunities and areas. With the approval of th e Board of Regent s, the Institut e of Commun ity and Area Development was estab lished and began ope ra tion s J uly I, 1961.
Th e purpose of the Institute of Co mmunity and Ar ea Development is to brin g the capacities of the U niversity of Geo rgia into play in help ing the state at all levels to adva nce eco nomica lly and otherwise. In doin g so, it wor ks closely with sister inst ituti on s, sta te gove rnment , and othe r public and pri vate agencies. A basic phi losoph y which it hold s is th at indu strial expa nsion is a pa rt of total eco nomic and co mmunity development.
The Institute is concern ed with man y specialized fields of community endea vor which affect eco nomic development in one way or another. These field s include: community org an izati on , community development and soc ial structure , bu siness and eco nomic research , business services , fine arts and co mmunity culture, safe ty ed uca tion, local govern ment, law enforce me nt, miner al resources, plann ing and hou sing, land scape development , and education.
In coo pera tion with other Uni versity faculty the In stitut e has pro vided services to muni cip aliti es, communities, and areas in more than 150 co unties . Th e Universi ty of Geor gia with its man y reso urces sta nds ready as always to co ntinue to provide services to th e mun icipa lities, co unt ies, commun ities, and areas of thi s sta te and to work with othe r agencies , pu blic and pri vate, whose active interest is in the eco no mic welfa re of G eor gia .
Th e U niversity salutes the Department of Industry and Trade fo r its dynam ic program of progress for Geor gia and pled ges its full coop erati on in helping pr epare Georgia for the 2 1st Century.

Conventions Bring "Fresh" Money
Atl ant a was ho st to 400 convention s in 1967 which att racted 300,000 conventi on visitors to the city . Th ese con venti ons injected $45,000, 000 "fresh money" into the city's eco nomy .
Th ese conventions do not just happen. At the Oct ober board of director s meetin g, the pr esident of th e A tla nta Con venti on Bureau , Mr. Ob y T. Brewer , sa id, "T hese conve ntions had to be sold on meeting in A tlant a, and our staff can be con gratul ated on a fine compet itive sales job.

AVIATION ADVANCES Lockheed To Fly Airforce C-5A In '68 Push MalDlDoth Oommerctal Freighter!

T he Lockheed -G eorgia Compan y of M ari ett a will roll o ut and fly the wo rld 's biggest air cr aft in 1968the U. S. Air For ce's C-5A G alaxy-s- and will inten sify plans to put a heavier , more power ful co mmercia l airfreighter into ope ra tion with the world's airlines by late 197 1.
T he aerospace firm, whieh receive s more than 85 per ce nt of its revenu e from production of defen se caroo-troop carri er s and oth er govern ment contracts, is launching acro ss-the-board efforts in 196 8 to pen etrate the co mmerc ial a ircraft field .
'T he mil itar y eo ntinues to be our major custo mer," Lock heed-Geo rgia Co mpa ny President T om May said , "but this yea r we want to develop a better balan ce betwe en milit ary and commer cial work . We are strengthening our commerci al airfreight er , corporate jet, and gro und handling eq uipme nt orga nizations . An d we have esta blished the new position o f co mpany executive vice president to dir ect these commerci al activities."
T he Georgia Division of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation was esta blished her e in 1951 to ope ra te Air Fo rce Plant No. 6. In recent yea rs, it has been add ing facilities o f its ow n, and moving into th e civ il mark et with its commer cial Hercules freight er and bu siness JetStar jet tr an sport.
T he com pa ny plan s to put into o peration in m id-1 968 a longe r-body Lock heed- I00 Her cules. with 30 per ce nt more pro ductivity than the sta nd ard mod el whic h tod ay is flying with ai rlines of six nat ion s. Th e Lockheed -l 00 Herc ules tr an sports more th an 45 ,00 0 pounds of cargo .

Now, Lockh eed is discu ssing with a irlines a colossal freight er that will haul up ward s to 360 ,0 00 pounds of car go. It is kn own as the Lockheed-500.
Th e co mpa ny expec ts sales of its JetSt ar to pick up. with its new, more powerful Dash 8 ver sion . More th an 100 JetStars are flying chi efs of sta te of seve ral nations and corporate executives to their destin ations.
Looking to the new year from a bu siness standpo int, Presid ent May sa id he ex pects 1968 employ ment will stabilize at approx ima tely 22 ,000 employee s, which will be a high in Lockheed-Georgia histor y, exce pt during the recently completed design and production bul ge. Weekl y payroll is $4 million.
During 1967, Lockheed deliver ed a tot al of 194 four-en gine jet-p ower ed airc ra ft to milit ary and co mmercial custo mers ove r the world. Thi s included 107 StarLifter s, 58 milit ar y C-1 30 Hercules, 22 J etSta rs. and seven commercial Hercul es.
Major Events of 1968 Th e biggest news events of 1968 for Lockheed will be the roll out of the C-5A Galaxy in two month s which will dr aw cro wds of dignitaries and newsmen from ove r th e nati on , and its first flight in June. Th e Galaxy, fully load ed , will weigh three-quarter s of a million pounds. A new mod el vertica l rising jet , the XV-4B Hummin gbird , will mak e its first flight in July. Lock heed is developing thi s plane for the Air Fo rce . A C- 14 1 is expected to land auto matically in co nd ition s simulating weath er with zero ceiling and 700-foot

Th e 1,000th Hercul es will be delivered in April. The Hercul es, which began operat ions with the Air Force in 1956 , now is in service with the Marin es, Navy and Coast Gu ard , and with 15 nat ions, in 39 versions. Hercules orders are booked into 1969.
The 284th StarLifter will be delivered to the M ilitar y Airlift Co mmand in Februar y.
Historical 1967
The closing year 1967 has been an active one for Lockheed-G eorgia .
Production of the C-5A pro ceeded on schedule. The C-141 StarLifters fulfilled the purp ose for which they were conceived-by .airlifting most of 10,000 men and 5,000 ton s of supplies almost 10,00 0 miles, directly from inland U . S. to a battl efront. Th e Military Airlift Command 's longest and largest airlift to Southeast Asia put 101st Airborne Division troop reinforc ement s in Vietn am six weeks ahead of schedule. The C-130 Hercules established records as the mostused airlifter in the Vietnam theater ; became the first aircraft ever to refuel helicopt ers , and went into operation with the 15th nat ion . The new versio n Dash 8 JetStar rolled out and made its first flight, and was sold to a number of corporation s. Lockheed-Georgi a advanced in the field of vertic al rising aircraft , with dedication of the world 's largest pr ivately-owned wind tunnel for testing model s of such aircraft; studies of VTOL and STOL plan es were made. The XV-4B Hummingbird was develop ed. Lockh eed-G eor gia worked with the Air Force and FAA in developing and cert ificating the C-141 All Weather Landing System. Commercial Hercul es (Lockheed- 100 and 382B) set cargo-moving records in operations with Delta Air Lines, Airlift International, Alaska Airlines, Zambian Air Cargoes Ltd. , Pacific Western , and others. Delta reported revenu e ton miles increased 291 per cent during its first year's use of the Lockheed-lOOs. Airlift International, using Lockheed Indu strial Products' newly certificated containers , reported unloading and loading cargo faster than time required to refuel the airplane . Alaska Airlines used its commercial Hercules to transport oil rigs over the Ande s and into the jungles of Peru . Zambian Air Cargoes Ltd . operated a copper air brid ge, hauling copp er to the coast and petroleum to the inland . Airlift, Zambia, and Alaska received deliveries of Hercul es during the year. In research and development, the U. S. Department of Agriculture used a Lockheed Nucle ar Products gamma irradiator at Savannah to preserve grain; LockheedGeorgia used twin laser beams to align C-5A tooling and structures, and used computer-aided techniques to design C-5A part s.
Lockhe ed expa nded its facilities , putting the JetStar in its own manufacturing plant and erecting a giant engineering hangar for the C-5~ .

Blakely-Early County Airport
The new Blakely-Early Co unty Airport was dedicated on November 16, 1967 , with Govern or Lester Maddox and former Governor Carl E. Sanders both taking part in the dedication ceremonies.
Band s fro m Ea rly County High School and Washington High School, both of Blakely, sta rted the occasion
with a band concert. Approximately 30 airpl anes were on display and a
crow d of about 350 people attended the dedic ation . Th e Arm y Aviation Center of Fort Ruc ker, Ala-
bama, provi ded a display of five different types of helicopt ers. Static displays were provided by various aircraft manufacturers; they includ ed Piper Aircraft Co., Cessna Aircraft Co., Aero Commander , and Beechcr aft.
The new airport features a 3200 foot , paved and lighted runw ay a rot ating beacon and lighted wind
direction indicator. The airport will be owned and operate d by Early
County. An airport advisory comm ittee has been appoint ed by the Early County Board of Commi ssioners to assist them in promulgating rules and regulations for the operation of the airport and to mak e plan s for the installation of additional facilities needed to further improve the airport.

Ea ste rn 's Automated Cargo Terminal
To Begin Full Operation
A new auto mated airline cargo handl ing term inal, the first in the Southea st, began operations in Decemb er at Atlanta A irpor t.
Built by Eas tern A irlines at a cost of over $ 1.5 million, the unique facility will expand At lanta 's role as a major cargo distributi on and interchange point.
Annou nced last spr ing ( 1967) as part of Eas tern's $ 150 million entry into the air cargo field, with a nation-wide press conference at At lanta Air por t, the automated facility was built by the Amer ican Machine and Fo und ry Compa ny.
Capable of handl ing more tha n 200 tons of freight and mail dai ly, and with a ca pacity of up to 75 ton s in a single peak hou r, the auto mated system will speed cargo handling to and from Atlanta, and for connecting fl ights th rou gh Atl ant a Airport.
The AMF cargo system, compl ete with conveyor vehicles which transport cargo between planes and automated terminal facilit ies, carries out a complete function of load ing, unloadin g, transporting, sorting, storing, dispatchin g, and weighin g Easte rn's air cargo shipments.
Th e new system will more than doubl e Eas tern's cur rent Atl ant a freight handling cap acity , and effect substantial savings through reduc ed handling costs and increased aircra ft utilization , Eas tern officials said.
As the hub of Eastern night-flying rout es, Ca rgo Whisperjets from New Yor k, Philadelphia and Boston in the Northeas t; Chicago in the Mid-West; Miami and Orlando in the Southeast; and Houston in the West, arrive and depar t fro m Atlanta A irport five night s weekly. Eac h Whisperjet carries up to 35,000 pounds of inbo und and outbo und freight and ca rgo for Atlanta area businesses, or for distri bution to other cities on Eastern's routes.
In addition to the all-ca rgo Whisperj ets, 144 Eastern flights serve Atl ant a daily providing an additional cargo capacity of over 20 million poun ds a month.
Because of the grow ing volume of air cargo, anti cipated to be as high as 800,000 pounds a day in the Atlanta area by 197 5, AMF and Eastern have designed the system for rap id and econo mica l expa nsion to meet future needs.
Th e automated system can accommoda te material for 20 simultaneous flight arr ivals and dep artures, and automatically separa te freight for 18 prim ary destina t io ns.

Macon Now Has Helicopter
News Service
Newscopters, Inc., a new corporation form ed III Macon, has scored a first in Georgia with plans to utilize the vertic al take-off and land ing aircraft to serve news media in the middl e Georgia area as well as various other enterprises in need of fast and versa tile aviation service.
Peyton Ande rson, publ isher of Th e M acon Telegraph and Th e Macon News , is cha irma n of the board of the new corporation. Bert Struby, executive vice president of the Macon newspapers, is vice presiden t of Newscop ters, Inc. Th e president is R. L. Leggett , a Maconit e who is a reti red U. S. Ar my Lieut ena nt Co lonel with helicopt er experience in both Vietna m and Europe.
T wo types of helicopt er s, both manufactured by Bell, are under consideration for equipment. On e is a thr eeplace 47G4A, now being flown on a tr ial basis by Leggett , and a Model 206A Jet R anger . Th ese aircraf t and their supporting equip ment will be based at Lewis B. Wilson Airport in Macon and the helicopt ers will be opera ted from a heliport atop the Macon newspaper s' plant and from other heliport s and helistops
th roughout the State. Anderso n said applicat ions of the service are many
and varied. "The growth potenti al for this company," he said, " is based on the extension of news cove rage , the expeditious processing of news, tran smitting bulk loads of newspapers to distribution points, support of promotions, publ ic service and leasing time to middl e Georgia enterprises."
He added th at helicopt er s make avai lable "a un ique and specialized service cap able of perform ing man y tasks in remote and inaccessible areas. Th e potenti al Georgia mark et for helicopt er service can best be develope d by utilizing a single mid-Georgia base, and is expected to bolster a substantial expa nsion of helicopter service.
Th e excellent weather conditions enjoyed by Macon all year-'ro und was a factor in choo sing the city as the basing site for the new helicop ter cor pora tion.
In the future are plan s to serve all types of operat ions based on needs as show n by mar ket surveys.
To handl e transfer and conn ect ing cargo, about 60 per cent of the tot al freight passing th rou gh Atlanta Airpo rt, the Eas tern facilit y is designed to pro cess and re-direct freight shipments within 30 minutes between arriving and dep arting flights.

Nationwide to Operate New Third Level Airline
Nationwide will ope ra te a third level airline on the Hub and Spoke Meth od , using the Atl ant a A irport as its hub for a 350-mile circle which includes a popula-
tion of 30,000,000 at pr esent , 15 per cent of u . s. tot al,
and is exceeded only by New York and Chicago in popul ati on amo ng the seven major hub s of popul ati on.
Projecti on s for the future relative to population , employment , income , and recreat ion for th is area ind icate th at it can more than hold its ow n and may someday outstrip its two major rivals in some areas . With the popul at ion having less con centrat ion in major cities, it is possible to develop a lar ger thi rd level airline in th is area than in any other area . T he stage length s will be longer , there fore gene rating mor e profit per passenger mile.
Th e th ird level airl ine is an entirely new, yet ver y logical development in avia tion. It is a d irect result of the evolution in air tr an sportat ion cau sed by the introduction of the big jets by the eleven trunk carrier s. Due to size, speed and cost , it is not eco nomical to o pera te them on short run s. Th erefor e, as the larger airlines co nvert to lar ge jets, they nece ssarily sto p serving an incr easing number of sma ll and medium size citi e s.
Th e feeder or seco nd level carriers, following the lead of th e maj or airl ines, upgr ad e the size of their equipme nt to fill the void creat ed by the big jets. But the cost of operating DC -9s, Convair s, M artins and F airchilds fa r exceed that of the old faithful DC-3 , with the result th at more cities are elimina ted from their sc he d ules.
Out of nearl y 70 0 cities over 25,00 0 in populati on , and mor e th an 7,000 cities and town s betw een 1,000 and 25 ,00 0 populat ion , only 540 cities, in round numbers, are certified by CAB for scheduled air ca rrier service. Wh at a vast pot enti al market for a carri er gea red to their needs.
Nationwide Airlines is the first publ icly owned third level airline orga nized in the Southea st. A tlanta , as the hub of its ope ratio n, is the fourth bu siest ai rpo rt in the country. Atl anta handled 3.8 million airline passengers in 1965 and handl ed ap proxima tely 5.8 million in 1967-a 53 per cent increa se in just two yea rs. It is no w proj ected for Atl ant a to reach the magic 10 million mark by 1972 .

Lawrenceville to Get $3 Million Doleo Packaging Plant

Sweetheart Plastics Builds $2 Million Plant at Conyers

On Octob er 13, 1967 , Govern or Lester M add ox announced that Dolco Packaging Corporation, a compan y owned jointl y by the Dow Chemical Compa ny and Olson Brother s, Inc., would build a $3,000,000 plant nea r Lawrenceville in Gwinnett Co unty. At the close of the year , the plant constr uction was well under way.
Th e new plant , which will employ more than 100 people and have a payroll in excess of a half million do llar s per yea r, will produ ce plastic food packaging prod ucts.
C. Dean Olson , president of Doleo Packaging Co rporation, sa id the plant will be producing food packaging mater ials fro m polystyrene foam sheet by ea rly this year.
Doleo Packaging Cor poration is already one of the natio n's largest producers of food packaging mater ials from polystyrene foa m sheet. Th e company presentl y manufac tures egg cart ons, apple trays and meat tr ays in plant s in Californi a and Washingto n. Th e plants are located in Wenatch ee, Washin gton , and at Pico Rivera, Ca liforn ia, near Los A ngeles.
Olson said the new Lawrenceville plant will be produc ing plastic foam egg cartons initially. He sa id the pro duct is a new type of egg carto n which gives greater pro tection to eggs than conventional pulp paper car tons and it also pro vides a more att ractive display pac kage for eggs in the superma rket.
Th e new egg cart on was developed by Dole o engineers and is now being produced in Wen atch ee for West Coast mark ets.
Th e Lawrenceville plant will be expa nding its production into oth er produ cts made from polystyrene plastic foam shee t.
Officials of Dolco's two parent compa nies worked closely with Georgia State and Gwinnett County officials for several months in deve loping plans for the new pla nt .
John LeG ros, general manager for Dolco, sa id Georgia's freeway systems, transport ation facili ties, the progressive policies of Georgia State and Gwinnett County officials, and the strategic location of the plan t site in relation to the Southeastern markets were key factors in Doleo's decision to locate its new plant near Lawrenceville. .
Govern or Madd ox, comment ing on the new Doleo plant, sa id:
"This is another indic ation of the confidence th at foresighted manu facturers have in our great state. Olson Broth ers and Dow have indicated that our state's strategic location and its pro gressive attitude have had much to do with the selection of Georgia ."

Govern or Lester Madd ox and Mr. Arthur H. Shapiro , president of Maryland Cup Corporation, dedic ated a new $2,000,000 plant for the Sweetheart Plastics Division of the Maryland Cup Corporati on on November 15 at Conyers.
T he plant , located on a 28 -acre site on Highway 132 in Co nyers , is used for the man ufacture of plastic cups and containers. A pproxi ma tely 150 people will be employed in the 132,000-square-foot fac ility when in full opera tio n .
Joining Governor Maddox and Mr. Shapiro at the dedicatio n cere mony were Samu el Shap iro, president of the Sweehea rt Plastics D ivision and a vice president of Maryland Cup; Mill s B. Lane, Jr ., pr esident of the Citizens and Southern Nat ion al Bank of Atlanta, and the board of directors of Maryland Cup.
Mr. Shapi ro , in his address, spoke of the rising market for disposa ble plastics. He not ed that the Society for the Plastics Indu str y recentl y forecast that in the next decade products mad e of plastic would increase at a rate of 12 per cent annu ally, compa red with a growth rate of 4.6 per cent for manufactured products ge ne ra lly.
"T his plant which our Sweeth eart Plastics Div ision is dedicating tod ay is proof of the rising plastic market," Mr. Shapi ro sa id . " It is also proof that our Sweeth eart Plastics Division is in the forefront of the plastics boom. "
"To meet that demand-the demand of the futurewe buil t this plant in Con yer s which will be turning out our full line of disposable plastic dr inking cups, food and ice crea m containers and straws for the con venience mark et."
Mr. Shapiro also predicted that the M aryland Cup plastics operation will continue to expa nd . He said, " I am sure, if Maryland Cup 's experience in the South east ern mark et is any barom eter , that this plant will be enlarged ."
Govern or Madd ox spoke of the adva ntages afforded to Georgia when Sweeth eart Plastics decided to construc t its new plant in Con yers. Govern or Ma ddox said: "The Mar yland Cup Corpor ation has paid a grea t compliment to the economic clim ate of th is area by selecting it as the site for a contai ner plant. But we in Geor gia feel that for thi s confidence in Georgia, much will be given in return."

AluDlinuDl Seen In Georgia Clay!

State's Large Deposits of Kaolin
Draw Attention of Big Producers
There is the possibility that Georgia within the not too distant future may becom e one of the nation's major aluminum producing areas.
With depo sits of hundreds of millions of tons of kaolin, a white clay containin g some 35 to 40 per cent of aluminum oxide, the large aluminum and chemical companies of the nation have been busy in recent month s obt aining leases on the thou sand s of acres of land on which these deposits have been found .
At present kaol in, which is found in a strip about 10 miles wide extending from near Augusta through Macon to Columbus, is being mined largely for use in the paper indu stry as a whitening agent. Oth ers using it include the ceramic , rubber , paint, plastic and many other indu stries.

Produced in this country almo st exclusively in Georgia in comm ercial quantities, kaolin is being turned out at a rate of about four million tons a year. Production in 1964 amounted to 3,331 ,000 ton s. The price averages about $25.00 a ton , with some of the highgrade material bringing as much as $40 .00 a ton .
For some time ther e have been report s that a major comp any was considering the construction of an alumina-from-cl ay plant in Georgia , with the prob able cost running up to $ 1OO-million .
Aluminum is a substitute in many instances for copp er and its use is expa nding in several direction s. With high-grade copp er deposits in this country being depleted rapidl y, it is only logical th at the copper and other large metal and chemical compa nies are turn ing to the kaolin deposits of Georgia to assure ample quantiti es of aluminum.

Savannah Electric Keeps Pace
With Savannah's Growth
Savannah Electric and Power Company anno unce d in 1967 a five-year con stru ct ion program tot al ing $4 1.6- miIlion for projects in its Coastal Empire serv ice area .
Th e largest single expendi tu re in th e building pr o- gra m is a 126,000-kilowatt turbo-gener ator. Th e new unit will be added to the Port Wentwo rth Power Plant located on the Savann ah Ri ver up str eam from Savannah and will boo st th e compan y's gene rating cap ability to 467 ,500 kilow atts.
Co nstruction activities on the additional unit will begin in 1968 and it should be placed in ope ration during 1971.
Some of the development s affecting the company's decision to expand its gen er atin g and related faciliti es now include new indu strial and bu siness gro wth. F or the 12 months ende d November 30, 1967 , Savann ah Electric showe d an incr ease of 1,56 7 cu stom er s. Mu ch of thi s grow th can be att ributed to the designati on and build-up of Savannah 's Hunter Army Airfield as a helicopt er tr ainin g cent er . Altho ugh not in the co mpan y's service area, nearby Fort Stewart, Georgia, is also expa ndi ng and creatin g new bu siness in the Savan na h area.
Th e Ocean Scienc e Cent er of the A tlantic, Georgia's oceanographic research and graduate institute, has selected Skidaway Islan d off Savann ah as its hom e and the U niversity System of Georgia is implem enting plans to develop the site. Ch ath am County voters ove rwhelmingly approved a $3 .6-million bon d issue to provide access roa ds and brid ges to the island. When in operatio n, the ocea nogra phy cent er is expec ted to attrac t a substa ntial amount of related pr ivate indu stri al and research activities.
Also during 1967 was th e opening of Grumman Aircraft Enginee ring Corpor ation 's new Savannah plant. Th e Grumm an Gulfstr eam II, a jet-powered corpor ate aircr aft, is being asse mbled here and the first model was co mpleted and succ essfully test flown during November. When the plant reach es cap ac ity op er ation s employment will reach 1,000 per son s.
Oth er significant activity in 1967 included: the announ cem ent of Ogleth orp e Cit y, a plann ed 231- acre development by Scott Hudgen s. Initial con struction will incl ude a mall-type sho pping cent er with Sear s, R oebu ck and Belks dep artment stores as pr incip al occupa nts. Also slated for the $3 5-million pr oject will be 1,200 apa rtment units, 55 sma ll shops and a motel.
Pacific Coast En gineer ing Co mpany, a lead ing producer of con tain er cra nes for port ope rations, began manu fact ur ing opera tio ns in their Savann ah R iver plan t.
Savann ah term inal s of the Geo rgia Ports Authority contin ued growi ng with the award of a $3.8-million con tr act for two margin al berth s, extend ing 1,200 feet along the river, a tr an sit shed, a 54 ,000-squ are-foot ware ho use and tran sportation access .

Th e past twelve months have been highly productive

ones for the Industri al Development Coun cil of the

Georgia State Chamber of Commerce. Also known as

Georgia's Committee of 100 , the Council afford s busi-

business-wise and geogr aphi cally.

Last year its Agri-Industry Committee held out stand-

ing meeting s in each of the state's five major regions in

a continuing effort to stimulate greater proc essing of

Georgia's resources of field and forest. Some of the new

ideas developed are currentl y being eva luated by tech-

nician s at the Univ ersity of Geor gia and at Georgia

Tech and their findings will be widely circulated to

interested business groups. Last April, thi s Comm ittee

inaugur ated a series of Agri-Industry of the Year

Awards to outstand ing farm product processor s who,

from modest beginnings, had helped build the econo my

of a broad area . Nomin at ions are now being tabul ated

for the second in the series of awards which are aimed

at encoura ging expa nsion by many of the state's present

proc essors.

.

Th e Coun cil' s Red Carpet Tour Committee oper ates

virtually around the ca lenda r in planning and prep arin g

for an annual spring aerial tour of Georgia by visiting

industrialists. Th e latest event conducted on April 5-6-7 ,

1967, attracted some 35 of the nation 's top manu fac-

sell Georgia's advantages for manufacturing. More than a score of Georgia development organizations, and the Department of Industr y and Tr ade in part icular , carry major responsibilities in the operat ion. While intend ed pr ima rily as an "image- building" progr am , the tour has figure d significa ntly in a grea t many industrial anno uncements in the state and is being widely copied by other states .
Th e Community Ser vice Co mmittee of the Council ' has co-sponsored with Georgia Tech's Indu stri al Development Division several local indu str ial development clin ics thi s year and was also co-sponsor for the Co mmunit y Leaders' Semin ar on the Tech campus, June 8 and 9, In its efforts to furth er aid community prepar ation for grea ter econo mic growth , the Committee embarked on two new pro grams in 1967 . Econo mic Ev aluation Teams comprised of specialists in various economi c fields visited Rockmart and Madison and are cur rently makin g plans for a one-day pro gram in Cairo - all aimed at stimulatin g new development programs. A new Indu stri al Stud y Tours service has just been implement ed to ena ble communities to learn from the more successful techn iques of other communities.
A Manp ower and Tr aining Committee has campaigned vigorously for a State Labor D ata Bank Stud y, which has just been comp leted, and for establishment of a temp orar y manpower inform ation service which is now in op erat ion by the !DO at Georgia Tech .

The Loui sville & Nashville R ailroad reports that du ring 1967 its Indu strial Developm ent Departm ent assisted in the establishment of 19 industria l operations within the State of Georgia.
Investment by these 19 industries is expec ted to be in excess of $2,3 40 ,00 0. When these opera tions reach full production , the y are expected to provide employment for about 250 people.
In addition, three oth er firms invested over $600,000 in the expansion of existing facilities.
Included among the 19 new operations were: Olympic Manufacturing Company, division of Con solida ted Foods Corporation--established a plant at Atlanta to manu facture truck washing equipment , chemical cleaning compounds and stea m cleanin g eq uipment. Freight Delivery Service - constructed a 100,000,square-foo t bu ilding in North Atlanta to handle their expa nding operations. (This company had built its first 100,000-square-foot warehouse in 'At lanta in 1966.) Georgia Marble Company - esta blished a calcium products plant at Dalton to supply that area 's latex industry. The L&N also reported that it is now working with six other nat ionally-known companies that are interested in locatin g plant s on sites in northwest Georgi a
ea rly in 1968. Expansion of the railro ad in its Georgia operations
has includ ed impro vement of piggyback handling at two point s. The ex isting piggyback facility at Atla nta was enlarged by laying of almost a mile of new tr acks and the installat ion of a new 50-ton capacity gantry crane to facilita te loadin g and unloading tr ailers on fl at cars. Use of this new gantry, first of its kind on the L&N, grea tly exped ites handling of trailers and eliminates highway tr actor handling via ramp s at the end of the tracks. Th is proj ect cost about $600,00 0 and is located at the L&N's Tilford Yard near Hill' s Park.
At Dalton , where piggyback tr affic is heavy, the railroad wiII replace its present piggyback ramp located dow ntown with a new piggyback handl ing facility thr ee miles south of the city. Thi s relocation , to cost approxi mately $200,000, will consis t of two new tracks, each 1,500 feet long with fixed loading and unloading ra mn at one end and port able ram o at the other. It also will be flood-light ed and fenced with ample space for tr ailer sto rage.

A wide variety of operations mark ed the continuing indu stri al expansion of the State of Georgia dur ing 1967. The growth emb raced diver se types of indu stry and added to the solid found at ion upon which the sta te's economy rests.
Within the State of Georgia during 1967 there were 75 new indu stries located along Seaboard Coas t Line R ailroad, with an estimated capital investment of $93,845,000. Th ere were also 22 expansions of industr ies on Seaboard Coast Li ne in Georgia, with an estimated investment of $42, 786,000. .
Th e prospects for 1968 are good, and the nat ion 's newest railroad-th e Seaboard Coast Line-is fully prepared to help transform those prospects into realities.
Merging of the former Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coa st Line R ailroads last Jul y has enabled the new company to combin e the talent s and resourc es of the predecessor companies so that they may be used to still greater adva ntage .
Pooling of industrial propert ies owned by the former com panies provides a sizeab le reser voir of good sites, and th is in turn will increase Seaboard Coas t Lin e's ability to provide just the right location for new industrial or comm ercial und ert ak ings along its lines.

Atlanta Gas light Contributes
To Year of Progress in Georgia
On e of the most imp ort ant yar dsticks of progress in any sta te or nation is the amount of energy it co nsumes . The ra pid gro wth of Atl anta G as Light Co mpa ny, largest natural gas d istr ibution company in Georgia and the Southeast, is a revealing indica tion of the progress Georgia enjoyed in 1967 .
For exa mple, Atlanta G as Light's 65 lar gest ind ustr ial custome rs showe d a 26.85 per cent increase in natural gas last yea r. Th e 10 largest cu stom er s produ ced a record $ IO-million in revenu e.
Alth ou gh Atl ant a G as Light Co mpa ny is ove r I 12 years old, ove r half its growth has taken place in th e last 12 yea rs. During the past thr ee years it has ave raged an annual compound gro wth ra te among the very highest in the nation.
In 1962, the compan y's opera ting revenu es tot alled $6 7,909,709 . Ju st five yea rs later in 1967 they rose to $ 103,508 ,3 16. This inc rease was du e in part to an increase in number of cu stom ers but also in grea t part to incr eased co nsumption of gas ene rgy by Geor gia people and commerce.
The ava ilability of energ y is always a major con sideration when industry look s for prob abl e sites for new plant s. Th e versa tility and eco no my of natural gas make it ideal for numerous indu stri al ap plica tio ns. Many thousand s of indu stri al uses for gas have been found in the pro duction and fabricat ion of almos t every item required in th e daily lives of Geor gian s. It can do everything from firing hu ge ind ustrial furn aces to coo king pot ato chips to a perfect cri spn ess.
Startin g with agriculture, fertili zer produced by Columbia Nitrogen Corp. in Au gusta is mad e fro m gas derivati ves. G as heat prot ects or cha rds from killing fros ts, pro vides pow er for irri gati on and warmth to protect wheat , corn, ha y, alfalfa and rice from dam aging moisture.
In Georgia poultry farm s and hatch eries, gas gives both life and prot ecti on to chick s. Aft er th ey are hatched by cont roll ed temper atures of gas, the ch icks are safegua rded by gas-fired brooder heater s. Th is provides the poultry indu str y with a better qu alit y meat while at the sa me time providing egg producer s and pack ager s with a bett er product.
Th e mir acle flam e even roa sts carloads of coffee bean s which in turn pro vide Geor gia indu stries with an outlet fo r pack age coat ing products.
Before produ cts go to mark et , they mu st be pack aged and natural gas help s to produce pap er , glass and tin cont ain ers. It help s to make the cork s and bottl e caps and even dries the ink on the lab els.

Th e tin ca n industry is but one of th e big metal wo rking cu stom er s of Atl ant a G as Light Company . G as is used to produce or pro cess alm ost every type of metal-aluminum, iro n, copper , lead and man y oth ers.
T he Medi cal Co llege of Geor gia, St. Joseph 's Ho spital and Augusta Co llege use chemica ls and medicines in which nat ural gas play s an import ant role by producing ammo nia, alcohol and many oth er chemicals.
Geo rgia' s textile indu str y, the sta te's largest employer, prov iding in excess of $500 milli on in payroll s, also relies heavily on natural gas . Not only does it provid e fert ilizer to pro duc e cott on but man y of the mod ern fabri cs co me from natural gas via the test tub e. New man-mad e synthetic fabri cs are mad e fro m the basic eleme nts found in natural gas- car bo n and hydrogen. the blu e fl am e is even used to sea r off the "fu zz" that is left on many fabrics after their manufacture.
In the bu ilding indu str y natural gas supplied by A tla nta Gas Light Compan y aga in plays an impo rta nt role. Th e basic building mater ials which go into a house are mad e or processed with gas . It is used in the production of lumber, roofing pap er , shingles, asbes tos, bri ck s, tiles, insulatio n materials, floor s and even the paint and varni sh for exteriors and furni shing s.
Industr y is finding a new use for natural gas- Total G as Ene rgy-a highl y successful technique. Using onsite natural gas fired turbines or engines to dri ve electri city producing gen erator s, exha ust heat can be used to provide proc ess heat , space heatin g, air conditioning and water heatin g. Application s of the syste ms in Georgia include Burns Brick Plant in Macon ; Jefferson Mill s in Jefferson ; Peachtree G ener at ing Co rp. in Au gusta ; and Atlanta Gas Light's new hom e offi ce building, Ga s Light Tower s, in Atl ant a. Burns Brick, which has been o pera ting its Total G as Ene rgy syste m since October, 1962, estima tes an annual savings of $42,000 . Total G as Ene rgy systems have pr oved to efficient, economical, dep endable and clean.
Th e use of natural gas is also helpin g to combat air pollution , which is frequ ently asso cia ted with indu stri al growth . Huge smo kestacks bellowing black smoke were once co nside red a sign of prosperity and pr ogr ess. Today, however , they are under att ack for their contribut ion to air pollution . Since gas burns to complete combustion-giving off heat, some carbon dioxide and water vapor-there is no soot, ash or grime .
Atl ant a Ga s Light look s confid entl y to 196 8 as a year in which it will extend natural gas service to an ever-increa sing number of Georgia hom es and indu stry. With over $ 16-million bud geted for con struction expen ses, the compan y has every intention of continuing its rapid patt ern of gro wth und er the motto , " E xpanding to Serve a Growing Georgia.

The recent rediscovery of quartzite in Pike County has stimulated con siderabl e interest in the feasibilit y of ut ilizing this ra w materi al. Generally, th e quartzite in the area is sufficiently pure to produce a range of glass products from inexpensive beer bottles to very expensive optical lens. Effort is now under way by the Georgia Department of Industr y and Trade to attract a glass manufacturer into the genera l area to tak e advantage of this extensive depo sit. Several feasibilit y studies hav e been produced by Georgi a Tech's Industri al Development Division (10 0 ) illustrating the profitability of manufacturing flat glass, techn ical glasswar e and kitchen and tabl eware in Georg ia.
Market estimates for qu artzite by 100 indic ates an existing glass sand market of 700,000 ton s and a silica flour market of 125 ,000 ton s annually for Georgia and adjacent states. The qu art zite depo sit offers severa l advant ages to existing producers in th e Southeastern region in term s of tr ansport ation costs and quality.

SO UTHERN BELL SPENDS
90 MILLION FOR EXPANSION
By E. G. THOMAS
Geo rgia has been char acterized recentl y as a boom ing, dynamic state, and the yea r just ended pro duced significant achievements in the continuatio n of th at pattern .
One sign of the health y sta te of affairs is the expansion of existing industry and fac ilities in Geor gia.
T hat co nstant grow th, co upled with almos t dai ly announcements that still other business and indu strial co ncerns have chosen Geor gia sites for nat ion al or region al hea dquarters, creat es an ever-increas ing dem an d for one of the services vital to all business enterprisesco mm un ic a t io ns.
Southern Bell Teleph one Co mpa ny, headquart ered in Atlanta, continues to expand along with other indu stries in Geor gia to assure them that their dem and s fo r communications services will be met.
In 1967 alone, Southern Bell spent almost $90,000,000 to improve and expa nd its fac ilities in the state . Ann ual con stru ction and expa nsion expenditures have increased over the last few yea rs from nearl y $64million in 1963 to the almos t $90-million spe nt last year. And th at figure brin gs the compan y's tot al investment in Georgia to approxim ately $76 7,36 0,00 0.
But cabl e, central offices, truck s and even telephones would not be able to pro vide the communication s services demanded by Georgian s witho ut th e human ingredient- the person s who install, maint ain and operate the variety of equipment necessary to do the job.
Southern Bell's Geor gia operation alone utilized mo re th an 14,000 employees at the end of 1967 , and, with per son s employed in the compa ny's nine-state hea dqua rters in Atl ant a add ed , the personnel figure top s 15,000.
Th at sizable gro up of employees, using the larg e amount of equipment and faciliti es purch ased and maintained with the more th an $767-million investm ent , served some 1,639,000 teleph on es at year's end .
Th e number of acco unts which Southern Bell serves in Geor gia increased by mor e th an 50,000 du ring the past year. Th ese statistics, of co urse, do not includ e the numbe r of teleph ones served by the state's inde pende nt telepho ne companies.
And figures alone do not tell the sto ry of teleph one co mmunica tions progress in Geor gia during 1967 . Southern Bell also continued its efforts to improve th e scope and qu alit y of its services to its cu stom ers.
Highlights among such improvement projects during the past year were elimination of "number, ple ase" manu al telephone service in the state and the introduction of electro nic switching equipment.
Th e last "number, please" local teleph one call in Georgia was placed ea rly on the morning of July 16 as part of cere mo nies con verting Madi son's teleph one facilities to dial service . Th e dia l equipment and the new bu ilding in Madi son , which hou ses it, cos t ove r $600,00 0. Th e building was designed to fit in with a move und er way to restore th at city's historic appea ra nce .

The insta llation represents an investment of $3.5million .
Another ma jor project in 1967 was the provi sion of Direct Distance Dialing for Macon , Warner Robins, Forsyth and Coc hran . The addi tio n of tho se four exchanges-pIus the inclusion of DDD for Madison and Ru tledge at the time of the dia l conversion in Madison - means that mo re than three-fourths of the main station teleph ones served by Southern Bell in Georgia are now equ ipped for custo mer dialing on long distance ca lls.
Ju st as team work is importa nt in all ph ases of Georgia's grow th, however , team wor k is imperative in the Bell System 's activities designed to provide up-t o-d ate teleph one co mmunications service to the citizens of this sta te.

Three New Industries for Greensboro
The little town of Greensboro is having an "industrial explosion" adding three plants that will provide 325 job s in the area . Georgia Turkey Farms, Incorporated, will build a $ 1.5-million turkey processing plant that will employ approximately 150 people. Th e facilit y is expected to begin op erations in 1968.
McGregor & Werner Printing Company, based in
Washington, D. c., will begin con struction on a 75-

Auto-Soler Starts $2-Million Expansion
Auto-Soler, an Atlanta-based manufacturer of nailing machinery for the shoe industry, has under con struction a 75 ,000- square-foot facility in the Great Southwest Industrial Park in Fulton County. The company, founded by Mr. William H . Wilkerson 35 years ago, produces high-speed nailing machinery for the shoe industry and other equipment for the furn iture and building industries. Mr. Wilkerson stated at the groundbreaking, "Our new building, located on an I I-acre tract, will be engine ered for the finest, mo st efficient machinery production ever known ." Auto-Soler plans to occupy the $2-million plant in May of 1968.

The installation, one of 16 on a new underground long distance cable route between Miami and Boston , is designed to withstand hurricanes, tornadoes and even nuclear attack short of a direct hit. The und erground cabl e route covers 1,800 miles and the cable is buried four feet deep .
Long Lines ' total investment in Georgia in 1967 was mor e than $26 .5-million.
While Southern Bell's figures are impressive, they do not tell the entire story of telephone communications service s provided Georgians.
Forty-eight independent telephone companies also operate in the state.
Telephones served by these 48 companies increased by almost 20 ,000 in 1967 , from a total of approximately 254,000 on January 1 to an estimated 272 ,000 at the end of the year.
The independent companies' combined investm ent as 1967 ended was also a sizeable one, standing at approximately $ 122-million.
Georgia's independent telephone industry employs some 2,500 persons.
In the area of telephone communications, then , Georgia has kept pace in 1967 just as she has in other phases of industrial and economic development.
And as government, civic and economic leaders of the state look toward another year of expansion in 196 8, expansion of telephone services will inevitably follow.

More Industrial Parks Planned
At least five Industrial Parks are in the planning or con struction stages around the State of Georgia.
The Abbeville Chamber of Commerce has purchased an option to buy 40 acres from Rayonier in order to establish an industrial park. It is within the city limits and the Chamber hop es to exercise the option so the Abbeville area will have an industrial park to draw industry to Wilcox County.
Plans for a large-sc ale industrial park on the Northeast Freeway have been announced . The park, estimat ed to exceed a $9-million value when completed, will cover a 93-acre tract at the intersection of the Northeast Freeway and Norcross-Tucker Road. When tot ally developed, Norcross-Tucker Industrial Park will have over a million square feet of leasable spac e. Appro ximately 165,000 square feet of space is already con structed .
Th e Central of Georgia Ra ilway Company has purcha sed 325 acres of land for indu strial park development at Morrow, in Clayton County. Located on Central's main line and also near the junction of Interstate Highway No. 75 and Georgia Highway No . 54 , the new park will be developed for light industry and warehouses.
The Waycross-Ware County Industrial Park at the airb ase is playing a major role in attracting new industries to the county. With approximately 2,500 acres developed and additional land available, the WaycrossWare County Industrial Development Authority has describ ed the county as an area proud of its past but more concerned with its future . Ten companies are already located in the park.
Two more buildings, containing a total of 93 ,000 square feet are being built on a "speculative" basis by the Tift County Industrial Development Authority on a 20-acre tract in the Tifton-Tift County Industrial Park south of Tifton.
Job Training in 1967 ...
A Boon to Georgia Industry
In 1967, existing as well as new Georgia industries continued to benefit from special training programs operated through the statewide system of area technical schools. Under this program, initial job training and courses to upgrade employed workers are provided through the industrial service sections of local area vocational-technical schools. At the request of an industI:Y , specialists from the schools and the Vocational Education Division of the Stat e Department of Education meet with company officials to identify training needs, then they develop and supervise a program specifically designed to meet the needs of the company.
Courses ranging from basic orientation and specific job training to management level training at little or no cost to the company may be arranged by contacting the Industrial Coordinator at any area vocational-technical school or the Industrial Services Section , Area Schools Unit , Georgia State Department of Education, 96 Mitchell Street, Atlanta, Georgia.

Georgia Department of Industry and Trade
Georgia's deve lopment program for ocea nogra phic orie nted firms is presentl y in infant stage. In 1966, a bill was passed by the legislature creat ing a commission to esta blish an Oceanographic Center on Georgia's Atlantic Coast. Th e entire direction of the program is conducted by the Office of Techni cal Services of the Georgia Uni versity System.
Th e ocea nographic cent er, to be located on Skid away Island , will have the following features : direct access to the ocea n; adequa te deep- water port facilities; plentiful land for expansion of all fac ilities in a plann ed and orderly mann er ; within commuting dista nce of Savann ah .
Georgia's concept envisions a well-p lanned center, harm oniously landscaped with a direct view of the Atlantic Ocean. Th e core of the center will be a graduate research institute conductin g ocea nographic research and educating mar ine scientists and engineers . It will include an oceanographic libra ry, a co mputer center and one or more research vessels. The institute will draw suppor t fro m Georgia's major un iver sities as follows: the biologica l and physical science fro m the University of Georgia, engineering fro m Georgia Tech and bio-medical fields from Em or y University and the Medical College of Georgia. The state will develop an impressive ocea nographic program while aug menting the existing program at the Universi ty of Georgia's Marine Institute at Sapelo Island.
Th e resea rch institute will not gra nt degrees, but will offer ocea nogra phic tr ainin g and resea rch that would ena ble graduate scientists and engineers to turn the ir basic backgrounds toward the ocea n. Most of the student s at the institute will be workin g toward adva nced degrees, while doing research , and will receive graduate cred it in their home uni ver sities. Oth ers will be engaged in supplementary post doctor al ocea nographic
train ing. Research at the new institute will concentrate on the
continenta l shelf and the Blake Plateau off the Georgia coast. Th e continenta l shelf reaches its widest extent between Ca pe Hatt er as and southern Florida, off Georgia's coas t where it extends 50 to 70 miles.
T he prima ry mission of th is institute is to expa nd the ocea nogra phic effort in Georgia by enlarg ing its ed ucat ional program to train the state's scientists and engineers in ma rine sciences. It will also serve as a foca l point aro und which private firms and laborator ies active in oceanograp hy will concentra te. Ad jacen t to the grad ua te institute will be abundant land fo r private firms and government agencies . Docking facilities will

be ava ilable for ocea n-going vessels of the entire complex.
T he University of Georgia's Marine Institu te on Sapelo Island, 18 miles north of Brunswick, is a small coas ta l station on an undeve loped island. Sapelo Island is mostly covere d by a virgin forest which IS surrounded by salt mar shes and sounds free of muni cipal and industrial conta mination. Sapelo Island is an idea l coastal laborator y in which to study marin e life in its natural habit at. Most of the investigation at the U niversi ty of Georgia's Mar ine Institut e is limited to the near shore enviro nment and includes: ecology of the mar shes and estuaries; the geoc hemistr y of the est ua ries and shelf waters; the geology of the barri er islands and pleistocene deposits on the continenta l shelf.
T he plann ed Gr adu ate Research Institute will in no way dupli cate the endeavors of the present facility of the Un iver sity of Georgia. It will, however , co mplement it and present a com plete effort in the science of ocea nology.
T he objectives of the program are as follows: I . Crea te for the state's educational syste m a major ocea nographic institute, thu s allowing Georgia's youth to participate in the future of the nation 's oceanographic
deve lo p ment. 2. Att ract marine scient ists, sup port ing technicians
and other new residents to the state, as well as create jobs for local residen ts.
3. Bring research contrac ts fro m private and federal sources into the state.
4. Dra w to the center government agenc ies engaged in ocea nic research and pri vate firms active in ocea nogra phic prod uct resear ch. develo pment and manufacturin g as well as in refining and fabricating products from ocea n resources.
5. Increase Georgia prestige in science and thereby help att ract other types of science oriented indu stry to
the state. Th e Ocean Science Commi ssion will work with all
the various sta te industrial developm ent agencies th rou gh the Dep artment of Indu str y and T rade to establish new ocea n ori ent ed industries.

New Westinghouse Repair Facility
At LaGrange to Employ 100
Westinghouse Electric Corporation ann oun ced on Octob er 3 I, that it would esta blish a new repair fac ility in LaGrange.
At the annua l meet ing of the LaGrange Cha mber of Comm erce, C. E. Price, genera l man ager of the Westingho use Repair Division , sa id he expected operations to begin dur ing the first qu arter of 1968 in a new plant to be built off LaG range By-Pass R oad , south of town.
T he plant , to be located on a IS-acre site, will contain about 45 ,000 squa re feet of office and manufactu ring space . Init ial em ployment is expected to be about 50 per sons with th at number growing to 100 by the end of the first year of opera tion.
Mr. Pr ice sa id the bulk of the work force, both men and wom en, would be hir ed locally with only four or five key Westinghouse people coming to LaGrange from other Westingho use locations.
" Dur ing the next several weeks we plan to institut e a hirin g and train ing program that will develop a wor k force skilled in light manu facturing and assembly," he sa id.
He explained that the new facility will act as a bac kup plant for the 48 other repair division plants across the nation , rebuilding electric utilit y and industr ial appar atu s such as medium and large alterna ting and direct cur rent motors, generators and transform er s.
"When repair ing these kinds of product s," Said Mr. Price, "time is of the essence as far as the custo mer is concern ed. He may have to do without a mach ine, or oper ation , or even a whole process un it until he gets his repaired motor or transform er back fro m us. So the faster we can receive, renew and return essential apparatu s, the happier our custom ers are.
"T herefore," he cont inued, "a mong the severa l reasons for selecting LaGrange for our new plant was qu ick and easy tr avel to and from Atl ant a Air port by way of H ighwa y 85 .
"All of the appara tus we expect to repair here can be shipped by air and- beca use of the exce llent nationwide connections available at the airport-we will be able to have unit s arrive in LaGrange fro m almost anywhere in the Un ited States in a single day. Thi s means a lot to our customers.
"Other factors affecting the Westinghou se selection of LaG range," said Mr. Price, "we re the avai lability of suita ble land, a good labor mar ket fro m which to dr aw a work force of competent people, and the ava ilability of essential utiliti es.
"Above all, the helpful attitude and wond erful coopera tion we've received from Georgi a Power officials has convinced us that Georgia and LaG range ca n be good places to do business."
"Westingho use is a diverse compan y, with more than 300 plant s and offices aro und the country. Right here in Georgia we have plant s or offices in Ath ens, Alb any, Savann ah , Au gusta and a br and-new manu factu ring fac ility in Peachtree City .

Columbus Gets New Industry
A new indu stry for Columbus, Georgia AHP Medical, Inc. , was anno unced November I , 1967, by Mr. Bern ard Fein, pr esident of Un ited Indu strial Corp oration.
A HP Medical , Inc. , to employ approxi ma tely 180 to 200 people in the Columbus, Georgia, area is to manu facture disposable sterile and no n-sterile latex surgeons' and medical examination gloves. Production is esti mated to be approx imately 5,000 dozen pairs of gloves per 24-ho ur worki ng day. AHP Med ical, Inc .. is the latest in additions or new acquisitions of Affiliated Hospital Products, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Un ited Industr ial Corpor at ion . Th e initial invest ment in the Columbus fac ility is approxi mately $700,000 . Th e new modern plant of 40,000 square feet is located at 401 Brown Avenue at Brookh aven Boulevard and is already in production .
Disposable surgeo ns' gloves is one of the fastest grow ing segments of the hospital and med ical industry, assur ing medical person nel of steri lity and economic adva ntages.
Since the advent of the manu facturing of disposable surgeo ns' gloves within the last few yea rs, surg ical and exa mining techniques have been vastly improved beca use of the guaranteed sterility which is requi red in all surgical pro cedur es. Hospitals have found that the use of disposable steri le surgeo ns' gloves are far more econo mical than the old fashioned rubber gloves that need to be recleaned , retested , repowdered and rester ilized.
Since this is a new technique, the future growth of the Columbus fac ility, A HP Med ical, Inc., is assu red of a perm anent place in the indus trial activity of Columbus, with possible expansio n opportunities within the very near future.
This is the second major facility of Affiliated Hospital Products, Inc., in the Co lumbus area within the past two years . Oth er Affiliated Hospital plants th rou ghout the nation are in St. Lou is, M issouri ; Ludington, Michi gan; Union , New Jersey; Massillon , Oh io, an::! Toront o, Can ad a.

GEMC Invests Nearly $20-Million
In New and Expanded Facilities
A recent survey conducted by the Community and Area Development Division of the Georgia Electric Memb ership Corporation revealed that Georgia's 41 electric membership corporations (EMC's) are currently serving 278 industries with an employment of approximately 14,400 persons.
During the year 1967, there was an increase of 23 new and expanded manufacturing operations served by the electric membership corporations throughout the State of Georgia. Thi s increase represented additional buildin g con struction approaching 1,000,000 square feet and creating approximately 1,275 additional jobs. Capital investment for new construction ranged from $60 ,000 to $7,000 ,000.
The industrial survey was conducted by Charles MeAuley, Director of Indu strial Development at Georgia EMC.
The most impressive feature revealed by the survey was not only the number of industries served, but the wide diversity of manufacturing firms located on the lines of the electric membership corporations.
"The industries served ," McAuley stated, "range from the manufacture of hunting boots to special operation s, including the manufacture of bomb detonators. In addition, there are many quarrying, mining and processing operations."
Comm enting on the information revealed by the survey, McAuley said, "Th is is definite evidence that the EMC's can and do serve industries, both large and small. It also indicates that the EMC's are definitely performing a needed service to the areas they serve. This is the type of service needed to help relieve the congestion that is found in the large metropolitan areas of our nation. The rural areas provide the necessary room in which to grow," he concluded.
In 1967 the 41 electric membership corporations invested nearly $20 million in new and expanding facilities to serve a record of 370,000 residential and industrial consumers. The total capital investments of the EMC's now exceeds $ 180-million. Moreover, the EMC's operate 72,000 miles of electric distribution lines providing service to 24 per cent of the state 's population.
The Community and Area Development Division of the Georgia EMC was organized in 1965 to help create and foster new economic life in the rural areas throughout Georgia. The division is engaged primarily in the field of Industrial Development, Area Development, Community Services and Power Use, and Member Education.

Customers of the Georgia Power Company used 8.5 per cent more electricity in 1967 than in 1966, Edwin I. Hatch , president , announced .
Tot al sales for 1967 passed the 20 .6 billion kilowatthour mark . Industrial and commercial customers accounted for the largest increase, 8.4 per cent , and used 12 billion kilowatt-hours. Re sidential customers used 4.8 billion kilowatt hours , a 7.4 per cent increase over the previous year .
Continuing to resist the rising-cost trend of other services and commodities, the price of Georgia Power residential electricity was reduced from its 1966 mark, an average kilowatt-hour price of 1.7 cents , to 1.69 cents. The average kilowatt-hour price for residential customers was 21.7 per cent below the nation al average.
The addition of 19,300 residential and 4,000 commercial and industrial customers brought to almost 900,000 the number of customers the company now serves.
An estimated 8,500 total- electric residential customers were added to the power company's lines during the year. The utility now serves 42 ,691 total-electric houses and apartments. This is a 25 per cent increase over last year.
Mr. Hatch reported that Georgia continued to lead the nation in the number of electrically heated commercial buildings . At year's end , there were 7,556 such installations in the company's service area . Thi s is an increase of 1,161 over the 1966 total.
Georgia Power's tax bill for 1967 exceeded $47million. It was, by far , the largest item in the company's operating expenses.
The utility invested more than $125-million in new construction during the year. Work began on a 500 ,000kilowatt unit at Plant Hammond near Rome. The unit will nearly triple the plant's size and generating capability. Initial work began on a 700,000-kilowatt steamelectric generating plant on the Etowah River near Cartersville and Rockmart.
Expansion of Plant Harllee Branch, located on Lake Sinclair between Milledgeville and Eatonton, continued. The plant's 319,000-kilowatt second unit was completed in 1967 . Work progressed on a third unit, scheduled for completion in 1968 , and a fourth unit , scheduled to become operational in 1969 , each with a capacity of almost 500,000 kilowatts.
When completed, the plant will have a total capacity of more than 1Y2-million kilowatts and will be the largest on the company's far-flung system of eight steamelectric and 18 hydroelectric generating stations.
In 1967, the company built about 1,145 miles of transmission and distribution lines and now has some 36,000 miles of such lines.

Th e Glory Hole Cave, near Pelh am , G eorgia , in Gr ad y Co unty, is the nucl eu s of a multi -attracti on tourist complex proposed by the Southwest Geor gia Pl anning and Development Commission , headquartered in Camill a.
Th e foresight of Pelh am 's Ch amb er of Co mmerce Executive, R obert Murrah , led that orga nization to o btain right s to th e und erground structures seve ra l years ago. Since th at tim e, various efforts have been mad e for the eventual development of the cave for enjoy ment of the public and the co ntr ibutio n of tourist tr affic to the development of the so uthwes t Georgia area.
Over one mile of the Gl ory Hole Cave has been mapped by spelunke rs fro m th rou ghout the Southeast. In addi tion, a number of co lored slides have been mad e by those cavers bold eno ugh to thr ead their way thr ou gh a narrow ch ann el strai ght down into the earth in orde r to ga in access to the larger passagewa ys which mak e up the cave.

For the first time, the State of Georgia had a float in the world famous Tournament of Roses Parade he ld annua lly on New Year's Day in Pasadena, Ca lifornia .
T he them e of the 55- foo t-long float was " Geo rgia : A Sta te of Adve nture." Fo ca l poin ts of the entry were a white-co lumned man sion surro unde d by a grove of tr ee s.
Sandee McR ee of At lanta , the cur rent " M iss Geor gia," an d A ngie Th om pson fro m Blakely, the current " Miss See Geo rgia First," rode on the float. Th ey were d ressed in beau tiful ante-bellum cost umes,
Th e fl oat was covered with thou sand s of living flower s and plants. Th e man sion was mad e of wh i te~ iceber g chrysanthemums and the windows of the hou se had scenes mad e by cu ttin g orchids and rose pet als a nd pastin g them in the windows to form an illusion of looking into the hou se.
More than 80 ,000 roses surrou nded the hou se as well as aza lea, garden ia, and ca mellia bushes with dozen s of bloom s wired on , in ad d itio n to the bloom s on the plant s.
T he tree trunk s were mad e of red ti leaves and rad ish seeds. Th e seeds gove a sha dow effect. The tr ees' foliage was fashio ned with red heath er and va nda orchids.

NEW AND EXPANDED INDUSTRY

1967 Truly nA YEAR OF PROGRESS" For New And Expanded Industry

In the first six months of 1967, Geor gia's new industry amounted to $28 ,669, 176 and expa nded indu stry amo unted to $65,634,926 for a tot al of $94,304, I02. Had Geor gia co ntin ued to acquire new and expa nded ind ustry at the same rate as for th e first six months, the State would have had the worst year for expansion in man y years .
With the impetus given by the television advertising progr am and other advertising mean s, Georgia took a dra ma tic jump in the last six months for $ 146,296,000 for new indu str y and $ 18 1,534, 132 for expa nde d industr y. It appea rs th at th e ad verti sing program and th e direct and dynamic impetu s given to the atta inment of indu str y for Georgi a was the maj or factor in brin ging abou t this tremend ou s increase.
Th e tot als for 1967 , eve n with a ver y slow first half, set a reco rd for new and expa nded indu stry in Geor gia.

155 new indu stries had a capita l investment amo unting to $ 174,965, 176 . 256 expa nding firm s had capit al investments of $247, 169,085 . The tot al amo unt of $42 2,134,234 excee ds 1966 by more th an $44,000,000.
T he ave rage capitalization for " new" industry in Georgia for th e past nine years has been $89 .2-million. Th at figure was almost dou bled by the 196 7 record . Th e nine-year average of $75.8-m illion for expanded industry was more tha n tripl ed by the 1967 expa nsion.
Th e addi tion of over 20 ,000 new manufacturing job s to Georgia's 1967 indu str ial payroll also excee ded the nine-year average by more th an 100 per cent.
For 1967 , the " new" capit al investment s were greatest in the field s of rubber and plastic products, food processing and text iles. Th e highest capital investment s for expa nsions were in tran sportation equipment, paper produ cts and textiles.
