Savannah Bar Pilots Association and the Atlantic Towing Company have joined forces to give Savannah Harbor an electronic edge over piloting and towing companies servihg other ports of the United States With the installation of a new VHF marine radio system recently devised by General Electric for Frequency Modulated broadcasting and receiving ship operations may now be controlled from the office the tug or the pilot boat according to Frank W Spencer of Atlantic Towing Company and Captain Joseph V Ryan Master Pilot This communications system effectively replaces the old whistle signals required previously for controlling the tugs by the pilot when docking and undocking ships Captain Ryan said In addition due to the speed and availability of ship arrival information labor crews may be more efficiently scheduled by shipping companies arrival time of ships from the bar can be more accurately foretold and changes in instructions between pilots and tugmasters can be expeditiously handled Mr Spencer added continued on next page MSBli Captain Missroon tugmaster of the Savannah responds to call from Frank Spencer in office Pilots and ATCO share offices in Savannah Another transmitting station is located at the ATCO dock office Both pilot boats are now equipped with the equipment as are ATCOs tugs L to rs Captain Joseph Ryan of Savannah Bar Pilots Association Ralph Day General Electric representative who installed the equipment and Frank Spencer of Atlantic Towing Company give equipment trial check after installation This new equipment is not used by other harbors in area served by Savannah port and it is not in frequent use yet in the nation Continued from page 6 n When we relied on whistle signals alone it did not behoove a pilot to make k a change in his instructions or try to countermand an order after he had just given it Confusion would have resulted Captain Ryan pointed out He had to complete that order and then give an other one This lost some time However now he can give an order talk with the tugmaster as the order is being carried out modifying it slightly as the need K arises v j The new system is not utilized anywhere else in the area served by the t Savannah port and only a little in the nation The full use of the equipment in 1 Savannah in addition to a more recent purchase of eleven portable transceivers which the pilots may carry on board I ships with them assures Savannah Harbor of having one of the most efficient I pilottug operations in the United States Ralph Day General Electric repre I It JANUARY 1963 New antenna

passe in Savannah telephone line to the office the tug and the ship harbor Pilots now carry portable transmitters are at the same time say pilots and tugboat officials sentative who installed the new equipment said the Federal Communications Commission is now making a study which would require the new system on all commercial vessels Its advantages include little or no interference with transmissions excellent equipment life small space required and relative low cost for maintenance The total expenditures for all units installed on all pilot boats and tugs is approximately 3000000 This includes the portable units purchased recently Four channels have been assigned the tugs and pilots in the 156 and 157 megacycle FM bands They are 1 calling in distress 2 ship to ship 3 Atlantic Towing for harbor operations and 4 Bar pilots for use on the pilotboat at the harbor entrance The new equipment will be used also with commercial vessels which already have it installed For those ships without it the pilots and tugs will still use the older communication equipment All tugs docking and undocking vessels at the Georgia Ports Authority terminals and others on the Savannah River are now using this new system according to Mr Spencer The NS Savannah was pushed smoothly to its berth by ATCo tugs using the equipment on August 22nd when the atom ship visited its home port to be placed into service In summarizing Captain Ryan said What this means for Savannah and those shipping lines whose ships visit here is a dramatic increase in the efficiency of pilotage and tug operations offered here This system will be like having a direct telephone line available at the touch of a button When we first sight a ship in the distance we through proper use of the equipment will be able in many instances to save ourselves and other shipping interests in Savannah more than the pilotage costs 7 LeTourneauWestinghouse Ships Via Brunswick and Savannah A distinguished visitor

Colonels Island near Brunswick may serve to ignite the space boom This article analyzes Brunswicks potential following that purchase For years the leaders of Brunswick Georgias Ocean Port looked at the areas new industrial site on nearby Colonels Island and sighed with frustration It was privatelyowned capital available for its proper development into a prime industrial site was unavailable and local efforts and resources designed to get control of the island had been unsuccessful Colonels Island had proved elusive to obtain and impossible to sell to industrial prospects under these prevailing conditions Then with dramatic suddenness all of this changed A M Harris Sr Brunswicks member on the Georgia Ports Authority had been waging a quiet yet tenacious campaign to interest other Authority members members of the Ports Committee of the General Legislature and Governor Ernest Vandiver in purchasing the island and developing it Left top to bottom 1 Astronaut John Glenn

Common Market countries led by the Governor and by the increasing interest in the area by spaceoriented industries looking to quick water access to nearby Cape Canaveral in Florida In Europe Governor Vandiver was impressed by the intensive development which characterized the ports visited and he noted the high cost of land developments as further ports expansion was needed The foreign states visited had traditionally pushed their ports as integral parts of their national development and as they had grown these ports had made material additions to their respective economies Such was the

Barely 15 miles from the bouy marking the entrance to the Port of Brunswick only two turns in the channel will be required before reaching the turning basin serving this island Good Neighbors Brunswicks favorable factors influencing location by the nations most respected industries has already proven irresistible to wellknown Georgia plants Here is located the huge Brunswick Pulp Paper Corporations mammoth plant which has just completed an additional 37000000 expansion program Such expansion indicates confidence in the state and region by executives of this company a fact brought out by Mr E J Gaynor President on page 13 of this issue Hercules Powder Company longtime resident of Brunswick now boasts over 700 employees and is a strong user of Brunswicks growing state port facilities BestWall Gypsum Company whose interest in the use of bulk offloading facilities was largely responsible for the erection of a 2000000 terminal 500 lineal feet long with a grabbucket rated at 600 tons per hour This facility can offload a 20000ton ore vessel in 65 hours BabcockWilcox Corporation Solvay Process Company Concrete Products Inc Dixie Paint and Varnish Company and the Georgia Power Companys new plant McManus on Crispin Island point to a burgeoning and diversified industry for Brunswick Future Bright Brunswick has grown 44 percent during the past ten years and its population is expected to double by 1970 Principal characteristic among these workers is the high percentage of them with educational backgrounds suitable for skilled and semiskilled employment With a population expected to double by 1970 Brunswick has already begun to lay important foundations for training and educating its youth with strong emphasis on scientific and higher educational studies In October a junior college costing some 1000000 has been authorized by the General Assembly and a Science Center promoted by Brunswicks forwardlooking leadership will be built The latter facility will cost some 1000000 14 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE THIOKOL CHEMICALS PROPOSED SITE BOOM TO BRUNSWICK Thiokol Chemical Corporations option to purchase considerable acreage in Camden County nearby to Colonels Island Brunswick and the new and modern general cargo berths now built there by the Georgia Ports Authority will have a tremendous effect upon that port city The Thiokol site lies only a little under 200 miles from Cape Canaveral Much of the heavy equipment and materials necessary to put this plant into operation and to keep it operating will come through the Brunswick dock facilities according to Thiokol officials In addition a boom in residential housing should result from the large number of families who will come to the area to work in the plant and a harvest of dollars should also accrue to the area as these families come to Brunswick and Jekyll Island for fun and recreation What is most important the location of a spaceage plant in Georgia like Thiokol will bring in a number of supporting industries many of which are already casting approving eyes on Colonels Island bought November 30th by the Georgia Ports Authority The schematic diagram below outlines in the main the areas of primary construction and the additional areas needed by Thiokol if they secure a sizeable space contract This company has cast its lot with Georgia and all Georgians can hope that the petition this company has made to NASA will be heard and positively rewarded JANUARY 1963 15 CITYS NEW RIVAL MEANS BUSINESS 800STUDENT SCIENCE CENTER JUNIOR COLLEGE SCHEDULED Editors Note Following is an editorial written in the Florida Times Union Jacksonville Fla that quite candidly points out the blessing that the purchase of Colonels Island by the Georgia Ports Authority may be for the people of Brunswick and it clearly points out to executives of prospective plants many of the plusfactors pinpointing Brunswick as an excellent site for their next plant Jacksonville has a new rival in its bid to become a symbol of the New Souths industrial development and economic expansion That rival is the neighboring city of Brunswick which is about to gain a decided edge in the port development phase of the competition Two events in Brunswick this week demonstrated the point At some date before next Wednesday Georgias Governor Ernest Vandiver has announced the state will exercise its option to purchase Colonels Island near Brunswick and launch a large port and industrial development program Related in a broader sense will be the other eventa call for bids on August 30 on an elaborate science building for Glynn Countys public high school Such news as this serves notice that Brunswick is becoming a tough rival for Jacksonville For the last 50 years Brunswick has been regarded as a place rich in historical lore more than as a symbol of the New Souths progress Brunswick had Sea Island a fine resort and playground of the rich It had historic St Simon where Oglethorpe established the town of Frederica in 1742 where the battle of the Bloody Marsh was fought where John Wesley preached under a big oak tree Brunswick had its beautiful marshes described in Sidney Laniers The Marshes of Glynn Now Brunswick is coming alive with activity The new Science Building for Glynn Academy will be a model of efficiency It will be air conditioned enabling tuition students to participate in a summer program leading to graduation in three years Most important it will encourage boys and girls to embark on careers in science Some of them perhaps will find careers in new industries on Colonels Island The state project calls for purchase of the land for 11 million and the spending of another 15 million to develop port facilities and industrial sites The island is located on deep water near the Atlantic and is served by highway US 17 Interstate 95 also may cross the island Students of Glynn Academy demonstrate interest of Brunswickans in accelerating their educational emphasis on scientific studies to prepare their children for the space ages ahead A 750000 Science Center now under construction is set for opening in September 1963 It will handle up to 800 students a year in modern lecture rooms and laboratories emphasize applied and physical science studies Acting upon an earlier endorsement by the Board of Regents the erection of a 1000000 Junior College to house 300 students is now a certainty upon the sale of the bond issue this December This college will be operated by the University of Georgia System upon completion Both of these projects have been provided for by the people of Brunswick and Glynn County Funds for construction have resulted from local bond issues approved by the people of the area Brunswick already boasting a population with a high concentration of skilled and semiskilled workers will thus be further aided in preparing its younger generations to take their places in the industries which may be coming to Brunswick in the near future ALL INQUIRIES HANDLED IN STRICTEST CONFIDENCE Call Write or Wire Today for Further Information Address All Inquiries to J D HOLT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR P O Box 1039 Savannah Georgia or Call Collect

Michigan Telephone HArrison 78478 FEBRUARY 1963 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Georgia Tufted Textile industry through its leaders in the Tufted Textile Manufacturers Association have played a most impressive role in the growth of Georgias economy over the past 10 years and have provided an important impetus to the recent development of Georgias port facilities at Savannah This relatively new industry begun on a Georgia farm by its founder Mrs Catherine Evans Whitener in 1895 now exceeds 700000000 in annual sales boasts of 46 manufacturing plants employing the most modern machinery and methods J D Holt That this industry has contributed greatly to the growth statistics of the Georgia Ports Authoritys facility at Savannah may be realized most fully by considering that jute imported through Savannah in fiscal 196162 totalled 822 million linear yards valued at 25800000 Georgia Ports Authority has worked closely with the leaders of this industry to provide them with port facilities and service that assures them of an uninterrupted supply of jute and burlap at reasonable a COStS To this spectacular industry we dedicate this issue of Georgia Anchor Age As the tufting industry continues its growth the Georgia Ports Authority with over 18600000 newly invested in modern facilities will continue to offer its every effort to help it meet its goals COVER PICTURE ucUKUIA ANCHORAGE Thousands of yards of jute are checked into a modern transit shed at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal in Savannah Tufted industry spokesman are high in their praise of the splendid service provided their imports and exports at Savannah Savannah is the worlds leading port in the import of jute provided for the tufted industry See pages 4 through 7 for this story Georgia

industry grossed only 38000000 a year in total sales volume Centered around Dalton stretching on a line from Chattanooga to Atlanta this industry had realized a slow but steady growth following its founding by Mrs Catherine fcvans Whitener on a Georgia farm in 1895 But then it came of age Today jute backing for this industry is the leading import at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal in Savannah and that port city is in fact the leading port in the world in the import of jute from India and other countries The phenomenal growth in tufted sales has closely paralleled the rapid expansion of Georgias ports during the past GEORGIA ANCHORAGE under hundreds of needles supplied with yarn from overhead tracks completing tufting operation in one continuous movemenr mosi recenr developments in automation now provide electronic machines with mechanical brains that relay intricate patterns onto the sheeting TUFTING TO THE TUNE OF 700000000 four years and indeed the demand for adequate port facilities to service this and other Georgia industries played an important part in setting the stage for the 18600000 in ports expansion and development allotted during the past four years of the Vandiver administration That the Authority has worked hard to understand and solve problems of import supply for the tufters is highlighted by a spokesman of the tufted industry who wrote The Georgia Ports Authority now provides a specialized service in the handling of jute with the most modern equipment besttrained personnel and safest handling of any port we use Tufters have also expressed pleasure over Authority handling of damaged load rewrapping storage of jute rolls FEBRUARY 1963 at the Garden City warehouse until drawn for use by 46 tufting firms and plans announced by the Authority to provide a special rolling machine to further facilitate handling for the industry Forecasts on annual sales for the next ten years have been conservatively set at 1 billion dollars a year by the end of that period To support this growth jute backing for carpeting and other products must be received in even greater quantities 822 million linear yards were delivered during fiscal 196162 with a dollar value exceeding 25800000 With over 10600000 spent recently for new facilities in Savannah at Garden City Terminal and at Ocean Terminal the Georgia Ports Authority with 19 deepwater berths slated for active use by mid1963 will be wellequipped to continue its topflight service for this expanding Georgia industry Tufted Volumesh The Tufted Textile Manufacturers Association TTMA headquartered at Dalton Ga reports a growth in dollar volume for the past two years 1960 and 1961 of 143 million an increase of 37 over previous figures With an increase of this size the tufted industry runs among production leaders in Georgia in percentage increase Of greater importance the boost to the states economy rendered through the creation of thousands of jobs the tax dollars paid into state treasuries and the millions added to the value of the states manufactured products are immeasurable The major use for the jute backing imported through Savannah is for tufted carpets This part of the industry has increased over the past 10 years from 19 million in sales to over 383 million boosting Georgias shareofmarket nationally to 62 Jute was first used in

Savannah River In contrast to the days of old when cotton was king the barges of this modern era will be carrying such vital commodities as bulk chemicals iron steel bricks and new improved fertilizers The rebirth of barge traffic on the Savannah and the extension of its effectiveness to the upper portion of the river is the result of work being done by the US Army Engineers to deepen the river channel to a suitable depth for commercial vessels Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority in a recent speech before the Augusta Kiwanis Club revealed that the Corps of Engineers has stated they are now in a position to assure a minimum depth of eight feet the year round This depth wilk be obtained by additional dredging and construction of additional contraction works which will be commenced shortly and completed during this summer x Col Jack R Harris US district engineer in Savannah said Normanv informs us that if the eightfoot depth is required prior to the completion of the channel an additional flow will be released from Clark Hill Dam in sufficient time to meet barge requirements The additional work is being accomplished as a result of numerous inquiries which the Corps of Engineers has received from potential shippers and manufacturers commented Norman Al A W rii Hr We of the Georgia Ports Authority feel that this information will provide the assurances necessary in our efforts to Attract new traffic on the Savannah River ne ihdustriesto our state and the Augusta area the GPA Chairman told the Augusta Kiwahis Club pvyith the rcent guarantee by the Corps of Engineers of an eight foot chanfeplOO pe ceht of the time and with the additional Work soon to be initiated the primary bottleneck to increased river usage has been

these men gathered in the Penthouse of the First Federal Savings and Loan Building in downtown Savannah to dig into the meaning of such phrases as letters of credit marine risks consular invoices and many others These were the word tools they would need to build an effective and profitable future for their company in this fast growing area of our nations economy Because they realized the potential they came they listened they took notes and they did their homework Continued on page 8 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE MB 11 T K B B The Savannah foreign trade course on How to Get Started in Exporting is just one of many courses being conducted throughout the south to stress the urgency for increasing exports The U S Department of Commerce is making a special effort to encourage new and prospective exporters

Commerce Georgia Ports Authority Savannah District Authority Savannah Re gional Export Expansion Council and Small Business Administration a letter was sent to each of the participants The letter from

FRONTIER FOR BULK LIQUIDS No Job Too Little Nor None Too Large99 Boasts Southland Terminals Largest deepwater storage terminal in the Southeastthat was our aim and thats what we have accomplished says Norman A McGee dynamic fastmoving President of Southland Oil Corporation and its subsidiary Southland Terminalsall located on properties owned by the Georgia Ports Authority at the Garden City Terminals Savannah Georgia McGees claim is no idle boast for Southland Terminals has deepwater storage facilities for McGee bulk liquids of 1235000 barrels in 32 tanks ranging in size from 5000 barrels up to 8000 barrels including both fixed and floating roof tanks Important as the facilities may be they are useful only as long as they serve some useful purpose The variety of products currently being handled by the Southland Terminals includes turpentine fatty acids pinene zyolene hexane alaphatics aeromatics jet fuel avgas distillate fuel kerosene and motor fuels According to McGee the Terminals can handle any product that flows Judging by the size and operation of Southland Terminals today one would think it was a long time abuilding Not so Southland Oil Corporation and its subsidiarySouthland Terminalsis a relative Johnnycomelately The property on which these modern facilities stand was in 1950 a muddy field and an idea in the fertile mind of President McGee MAY

liquids from shipside 1200 feet to Southlands main storage facilities A Bleak Outlook Becomes A Rosy Prospect Stymied for a while in his building plans by the Korean War McGee quickly turned a bleak outlook to a rosy prospect by securing a government storage contract which in turn landed him a priority permit for steel delivery This initial contract was a minimum putthrough storage of 460000 barrels of avgas with a guarantee of three turnovers per year The government subsequently asked McGee to build an additional 460000 barrel capacity to furnish avgas to the Navy This brought the Southland Terminals a total of 19 tanks all under contract for military supply In 1955 McGee added 160000 barrels to his storage capacity by building three new tanksfor gasoline kerosene and fuel oil In 1956 we had to add 80000 additional barrels storage to maintain a balance of stocks the youthful president said We did this by building one tank and juggling some of the government storage While the military can be thanked for filling the breach in the steelscarce Korean War days and for subsequent storage contracts with Southland Terminals it almost caused a catastrophe in 1960 when an entire Strategic Air Command wing was moved from Savannahs Hunter Air Force Base and the government handed 545000 barrels of storage back to McGee This emptied nine tanks that McGee could have used in 1955 when he began his open market operation but which in the meantime had seen the building of additional storage units to take care of Southlands spreading retail volume What might well have spelled doom for the fainthearted only spurred oilman Nonpetroleum products are transferred to carrier such commodities as turpentine fatty acids and lands petrochemical tanks McGee to look for a wider diversification which he quickly did by filling available storage with turpentine for a local paper mill pinene for a naval stores manufacturer and fatty acids for a paint manufacturer McGee pointed out that bulk liquid storage facilities are immediately available for anyone desiring to utilitize these facilities Storage And Handling Capabilities Expanded Southlands main storage facilities are

in the 3rd annual Red Carpet Tour of Georgia One of the highlights of the trip was a tour of the GPAs Garden City Terminals at Savannah The Red Carpet tour sponsored by the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce is designed to give the nations top industrialists the opportunity to learn of the advantages the state offers for the development of new industry and business Among the group taking the tour this year were 29 outofstate businessmen whose firms produce everything B 8 ggf from vegetable seeds to rocket propellents They were accompanied on the threeday swing through the state by 40 of Georgias top business leaders At kickolf ceremonies in Atlanta Georgias Gov Carl E Sanders told the group that Georgia is different from the Georgia of ten years ago He said We are moving ahead to create a climate which will attract new capital new business and new and expanded industries to the state The Governor emphasized three major actions of the recent legislative session that are designed to stimulate economic development They are Exemption of industrial machinery from the three per cent state sales and use tax The authorizing of counties to issue industrial revenue certificates to build and equip manufacturing plants for firms desiring to locate in the state Enlarging the powers of the Georgia Ports Authority to issue revenue certificates to build and equip facilities for industries using the ports Sanders further pledged that the new State Department of Industry and Trade will be developed into a skilled professional agency staffed by experts capable of

the ApalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint river system for navigation flood control power stream flow regulation and recreation is nearing completion Started in 1947 the program is scheduled for completion this year The development includes improvement of the Apalachicola River and the construction of four dams the Jim Wopdruff Lock and Dam on the Apalachicola River near Chattahoochee Florida the Columbia Lock and Dam on the Chattahoochee River near Columbia Alabama the Walter F George Lock and Dam on the Chattahoochee River near Fort Gaines Georgia and the Buford Dam on the upper Chattahoochee River northeast of Atlanta The dredged channel in the Apalachicola River and the Jim Woodruff and Buford Dam were put in operation in 1957 so that the valley has been enjoying substantial benefits from the development since that time The Apalachicola River channel provides a 9foot depth for barge traffic from the Gulf Intracostal Waterway at Apalachicola Florida to the Jim Woodruff Dam which lies across the river just below its junction with the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers Steady Flow of Traffic The Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam continues the barge channel up the Flint River to Bainbridge and up the Chattahoochee River to Columbia TTiere is a steady flow of traffic through the lock carrylfig such commodities as gravel butane petroleum asphalt gasoline diesel oil sulphur and flour The Jim Woodruff power plant produces an average of 220 million kilowatt hours of electric energy a yearenough to provide all the electricity needed in 50000 homes Lake Seminole behind the dam has become a popular recreation site especially famous for its good fishing The Buford Dam in the headwaters provides flood protection in the upper valley and increases the flow in the river in dry seasons assuring adequate water supplies downstream and aiding navigation all the way to the Gulf The Buford power plant adds another large block of power to the power supply in the region and Lake Sidney Lanier formed by the dam has become one of the most popular recreation lakes in the country The Columbia Lock and Dam will continue the barge channel from the upper end of the Jim Woodruff reservoir to the Walter F George Dam at Fort Gaines The lock was opened to navigation last October and is being used regularly by barge tows delivering petroleum products to the Tenneco Oil Companys storage facilities a few miles upstream near Blakely Georgia The dam is essentially completed but the reservoir is being held below its normal operating level while the protecting cofferdam within which the spillway was constructed is being removed The Columbia Dam has no generating facilities and the reservoir will remain largely within the original river banks 88Foot Lift The Walter F George Lock and Dam will complete the navigation channel to Columbus Georgia and Phenix City Alabama The largest structure in the development it will be about 2 miles long and the lock will have a lift of 88 feet one of the highest in the country The Walter F George power plant will generate more electric energy than the Jim Woodruff and Buford plants combined and the George reservoir will be another large lake suitable for recreation Only minor work remains to complete the project except for the installation of the four generating units in the powerhouse The first unit was put in operation in March and the others will be put in operation as they are installed one at a time With the completion of the Columbia and Walter F George Dams later this year towns on the Chattahoochee from Columbus to the Gulf will become river ports connected by a modern barge channel to the Gulf Intracostal Waterway and so to the whole great inland waterway system of the nation Water transportation ample power and a dependable water supply will be available to attract industry And another beautiful and extensive lake wall make the valley an even more pleasant place to live EDITORS NOTE The Georgia Ports Authoritys Terminal facilities at Columbus Georgia are nearing completion and are expected to be in full operation by September of this year The establishment of Columbus as a port city is the result of the farsighted vision of many dedicated persons and the work of the United States Corps of Engineers in providing a series of locks and dams necessary to assure and maintain a suitable channel for commercial barge traffic The following is a progress report from the US Army Engineer District Mobile Corps of Engineers on their three river development in southwest Georgia

the riverboats of the last century and the colorful breed of men who made up their crews Columbus was the end of the line on the run which began at Apalachicola or Mobile and wound 360 miles upstream to the docks at Dillingham Street Their cargo was made up of naval stores fruit whisky honey and many staple items such as flour sugar and rice Going downstream they would have bales of cotton cotton products and iron goods The first boats reached Columbus early in 1828 During the next 100 years over 200 riverboats frequented the waters of the Chattahoochee These boats ranged from 48 to 700 tons and a few cost well over 100000 Ships Graveyard Despite its beauties the river was also treacherous its 360 miles were dotted with shallows and shoals and sandbars built up on the inside of the bends of the river Many an experienced man ran into tragedy on these sandbars The first steamboat ever to reach Columbus the Fannie blew up after striking one of the larger sandbars several years later thepi One of the most beautiful boats that ever plied the Chattahoochee River was the new and elegant steamer Rebecca Everingham built in 1880 at Columbus A familiar sight along the Chattahoochee Flint and Apalachicola Rivers the steamboat measured 192 feet In addition to its cargo holds the ship had 28 staterooms The Rebecca Everingham burned at Fitzgerald Landing April 3 1884 in one of the worst tragedies in the history of Chattahoochee River steamboating Eight lives were lost This photo and others of the steamboat era were loaned to Georgia Anchorage by D Neal Wickham Columbus building contractor His father Fred L Wickham began as a mud clerk and eventually retired from steamboating in 1911 with a Masters Certificate Additional background information supplied by W C Woodall also of Columbus 16 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE MpUS rfij th A hattahoochee River JULY 1963 With the clearing of land all over midwestern Georgia the red clay of the region was washing down and depositing an ever increasing amount of mud and silt on the bottom The channel became too shallow in spots for navigation and except for an occasional visit the steamboating era on the Chattahoochee was at an end

1963 American Ideals Heritage Still Evident in Country By Roland Page Savannah Evening Press Staff Writer mnfn Im the veteran of veterans the senior of senior citizens and the symbol of the greatest nation on earth Mr U S Flag made this boastful statement in an interview today This is a big day for Flag Hes now celebrating the 187th anniversary of his kingdom And it wont be the last one Flag stated Not as long as a spark of George Washington Tom Jefferson Pat Henry and the rest of the old gang burns in these new whippersnappers Flag said that the spark of which he spoke may not seem too bright at times anymore but that Ive been around long enough to know that theres more to the American people than meets the eye That spark is the American ideal of freedom liberty equality and the democratic way of life I know that these words are sometimes tarnished by the battles of those who have differing interpretations of them I know that we sometimes seem to be further from those ideals than King George himself bless his tyrannical soul But dadblast it the very fact that we can bicker and disagree freely proves that were not too far from the original goal Flag stated Just then a fan strolled by so Flag ruffled his stripes as elaborately as possible and resumed his comment Anyway as I was saying I hear people grumble and gripe about how bad things are and how things arent the way they used to be Ive been hearing that for almost 200 years now But you let those bad things be threatened by outsiders and every griper is ready for battle I saw it happen at Brandywine We were all nervous but excited there In Mexico Winfield Scott did a good job for me At Gettysburg I couldnt glory in any victoryI was sick for all my people But we came back togetherlike I knew we would I flew proudly up San Juan Hill I went brazenly with everyone else to meet the Kaizer I really made a splash at Iwo Jima and Korea proved that the spark will never dieunless we all do And Ill tell you somethingI consider myself immortal Lets bicker and fight Thats the only way well get anywhere But on a day like this lets make a truce and look at what weve accomplished In other comments Flag a somewhat proud old fellow cited the fact that the SS Savannah was the first steamship to ever carry him over the Atlantic We left the Port of Savannah in 1819 bound for Liverpool England he said He also urged all to attend tonights July 4 celebration at Bacon Park Ill be there Those fireworks remind me of days and men gone by The men who gave me birth the men who expect me to have a long free

FROM GPAs Garden Citj jl To Handle Shipments vt Mr 4 Jfa 4 w 1 i 1 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE to return the 180 fuel elements from the Studsvik reactor for reprocessing Handled With Efficiency and Dispatch Samuel Edlow Nuclear Traffic Consultant for the Studsvik Research Station in Sweden was extremely satisfied with the success of the first shipment and its handling The whole matter was handled with the greatest efficiency and dispatch said Edlow and the time involved in Thirtysix expended fuel elements contained in four leadlined casks designed by the Edlow Company of Columbus Ohio arrived from Sweden were placed aboard an Atlantic Coast Line railcar and transported to the U S Atomic Energy Commissions Idaho Chemical Processing Plant at Scoville Idaho After reprocessing they will be returned to the Georgia Ports Authoritys Savannah Terminal for shipment back to Sweden Similar shipments will arrive every 60 days for the next year The uranium fuel enriched to 90 per cent in U235 was leased to Sweden in 1961 under the U S Atoms for Peace Program for use in the materials testing and research reactor R2 The reactor is located at the Studsvik Research Station 60 miles south of Stockholm A total of five shipments will be required T Ahe first shipment of reactor fuel to be returned from abroad for reprocessing under the U S Atoms for Peace Program was unloaded July 31 at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal at Savannah b fiTerminal h Day Every 60 4 y X V k y y 1 x Hi 4 Au i the discharging from the vessel and loading upon the flat car was even shorter than we anticipated We knew that the shipment was eminently safe and we were delighted to find that radiation level and temperature level were below those which we had anticipated in reading on the way over here I must compliment the Georgia Ports Authority Strachan Shipping Company Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and everyone involved on the veryefficient manner in which it was handled I do honestly believe that we have set an example here which it will be difficult for other ports to achieve on any shipment which may occur in the future Exceeds 50000 in Value Edlow estimated the U235 content of the returned spent fuel elements would exceed 50000 in value The shipment was entered at the Custom House as Returned American Goods and will pay no duty Edlow said the ocean freight on the casks both ways would be 15000 the cost of rail transportation from Savannah to the ACEs Idaho Chemical Processing Plant and returning casks Continued on Next Page Once tied up at the Savannah State Docks personnel of the Atomic Energy Commission U S Coast Guard Bureau of Explosives and the Interstate Commerce Commission went aboard for purposes of inspection of the atomic fuel cargo prior to unloading operation Two 35ton gantry cranes working in tandum and using a specially designed Swedish yoke transfer the 12ton casks directly from ship to flatcar for the trip to the Idaho reprocessing plant 4 AUGUST 1963 A series of radiation and temperature checks by AEC and Coast Guard personnel are required before unloading and after the casks had been securely strapped to the Atlantic Coastline flatcar Similar tests were made before the ship left Sweden July 8 The shipment was pronounced much safer than many cargoes moving daily through U S ports GEORGIA ANCHORAGE Military and civilian representatives from other cities and ports were on hand to observe the handling of the atomic cargo by Savannah shipping and transportation interests The movement received the highest praise from the AEC and other governmental agencies and was declared an example that will be difficult for other ports to achieve on any shipment which may occur in the future 8000 reprocessing of spent fuel 18000 and administrative and other incidental expenses 3000 The fuel enriched to 90 per cent with Uranium 235 is leased to Sweden and other foreign governments to promote peaceful uses of atomic energy A prime condition is that the fuel be returned after use to make certain it is not used for other than peaceful pursuits Forerunner of Similar Shipments Because most authorities expect the Swedish shipment of spent fuel to be merely the vanguard of some 4400 lbs of enriched uranium reactor fuel that may find its way back for reprocessing in the U S over the next few years Savannahs success in getting the jump as a port of transfer could have important financial implications Glenn T Seaborg Chai rman of the U S Atomic Energy Commission noted the outstanding safety record established in handling shipments of radioactive materials within the United States Over a period of nearly a quarter century there is no record of radiation injury resulting from transportation of radioactive

mowing of grass and the trimming of hedges The backyard of Mr and Mrs Henry Rainaud of Savannah however is somewhat uniqueits filled with ships from every corner of the globe and its very unlikely youll find a lawnmower within half a mile The Rainauds Henry and Marcia live onboard a 40foot ketch in the heart of downtown Savannah with their two youngsters Henry ten and Muffett age eight Calling all ships at sea Bedtime aboard the DREAMER SHIPS Originally from Connecticut Henry and his family moved to Savannah recently from the Bahama Islands where theyve been living aboard the Dreamer for the last five years As General Manager of the Georgia Broadcasting Company Henrys office is located just above the historic cobblestones along the River Street which parallels the Savannah River only a stones throw from the site where General Oglethorpe landed and spent his first night upon founding the colony of Georgia in 1733 When high noon rolls around Henry simply raises his office window catches a whiff of home cooking from the galley and within seconds is joining the rest of the Rainauds for lunch at home aboard the Dreamer All the Modern Conveniences Whats it like living in a floating home yearround Without a dissenting vote the Rainauds will unanimously agree Its great theres nothing like it Their Alden Diesel Auxiliary Ketch is the pride of the harbor There are two double staterooms a main cabin with permanent dinette and a sizeable kitchen The Dreamer is equipped with a telephone yearround air conditioning television and 24hour Muzak service This latter resulting from the fact that Henrys firm is the Muzak agency in Savannah What happens when outoftown guests drop in for the weekend Well Henry has that one solved too He has just completed a dock house that includes a lounge guest room and space for all the shoreside gear such as washing machine refrigerator and deep freeze And if the guests would like to go sightseeing the Rainauds just lift anchor and cast off for a spin around the intercoastal waterway and Savannahs growing industrial waterfront Delight of the Younger Set From the kids viewpoint life aboard the Dreamer is something theyve grown up with and would not trade for all the world Henry Jr and his sister Muffet have many friends on shore and needless to say have to issue only one invitation to come ona my house to rival the manpower of the Seventh Fleet As for their ABCs the youngsters have a tutor come aboard for formal instruction They attend basic training five days a week for nine months 8 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE m 5 H v M acbti v This is our neighbors new boat 1CKYARD 59 o 4 4 just like other kids and are required to do just as much if not more homework Pioneer of a New Frontier Although living onboard a yacht is nothing new Henry Sr feels that he is somewhat of a pioneer in staking a homesite right in the heart of downtown Savannah on a busy industrial waterway such as the Savannah River Up until the Dreamer dropped anchor in the shadow of City Hall very few if any luxury crafts had ever ventured up the river to the heart of the city for permanent mooring Frankly theyre missing a good bet said Rainaud The Savannah River water in the downtown area of the city is ideal for maintenance free yachting Theres just enough fresh water to prevent barnacles and worms and just enough salt water to cut down on the grass and rot This little known fact was first told to Henry many years ago by an old sea captain from Daytona Beach Florida who used to operate a sidewheeler up the Savannah River once a year just to clean out the boilers by pumping downtown river water through the vessels system Actually said Rainaud if boat owners moving up and down the intercoastal waterway would only cruise up the Savannah River to the heart of the city they would cut down tremendously on their maintenance cost As a result of this ideal water condition Rainaud predicts that someone someday will open a modern yacht basin in the heart of Savannah on the river and really clean up in more ways than one So what else is new along the riverfront Well the Rainauds are about to have neighbors Another yacht fancier who also has a business office along the river bank has already begun preparations for a similar dockhouse and mooring just downstream After all the lady of every house must have someone from whom to borrow a

Americans have built up a mental block to some of the forms of mass media advertising it is still a proven fact that because of advertising this nation enjoys an economy unequaled in the history of the world Its true you dont run down to the corner drug store to pick up the latest design in modern industrial equipment and its unlikely youll find even one roll of jute from India on your next trip to the supermarket Advertising like so many other fields is highly specialized and requires the creative minds of many persons working together side by side with management to produce an attractive image of a company its product andor service How About a Logo Shortly after the Georgia Ports Authority announced the appointment of the Atlanta Office of DArcy Advertising Company as its new ad agency it was felt a new logo was high on the agenda of important projects What is a logo Well to simplify things it can best be described as a symbol or trademark used in conjunction with the firms name to establish product or service identification Although thats not exactly the way Mr Webster explains it folks in the ad business will agree its a pretty good laymans description DArcys Jack Kaplan Richard Simms and Martha Barnes discuss copy and layout for new commercial warehousing ad Completed ad is found on page 21 of this issue DArcy Advertising staff plans new logo Discussing ideas are Larry Rochelle Jim Steele and Richard Simms Where is a logo used Most anywhere at the top of stationery at the bottom of advertisements and perhaps in the middle of calling cards just to mention a few On this particular page our new GPA logo is used in the headline Created in the production department of DArcy the reverse arrows symbolize the movement of import and export cargoes This simple yet effective logo has already begun the task of further identifying Georgia ports as among the nations leading ports for shipments throughout the world Incidentally the Atlanta office of DArcy has also recently been appointed as the new ad agency for the Georgia Dept of Industry and Trade New Ad Campaign GPA advertisements which have been seen in trade magazines for years will have a new look this fall And theyll be seen by many new readers in such business magazines as Business Week The new ads complete with the new logo will be telling shippers business leaders and industrialists both in the United States and overseas of the multimillion dollar expansion program of the Georgia Ports Authority nd how these new facilities can save them money In addition to the growing import and export trade at GPAs deepwater ports of Savannah and Brunswick these imaginative ads will also highlight the inland barge terminals at Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus the twomillion square feet of commercial warehousing at Garden City and GPAs choice industrial sites such as Colonels Island at Brunswick and the Whitehall Plantation adjacent to GPAs Garden City terminal at Savannah Regardless of where you see our new logo the reverse arrows will be pointing the way to greater profits through the facilities of the Georgia Ports Authority Be on the lookout for it GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY AUGUST 1963 11 i THE INLAND PORT Choice of Expanding Indust AUGUSTA Smokestacks Along the River EDITORS NOTE There is no getting around it industry today demands water locations lor its major industrial sites The following is a five page report which highlights some of the industries that have located in the communities of Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus The industrial sites offered at these three inland ports are becoming major attractions for new and expanding industries The seeds which have been planted during many miles of solicitation through the years are now beginning to bear fruit as evidenced in the photographs and comments found in this summary of the recent industrial growth of Georgias inland ports 2MI 12 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE 53EK THIS IS THE ARCHITECTS DRAWING of the new muliimillion dollar manufacturing plant which Columbia Nitrogen Corporation now is constructing in Augusta Georgia It will combine the most modern manufacturing technology with the best of contemporary design It is expected to be completed late in 1963 COLUMBIA NITROGEN CORPORATION C K Ballard President To be competitive freight cost wise we as producers of bulk chemicals and fertilizers must be located so as to be accessible to navigable water To reach certain distant markets we can only hope to do so by shipping by water Some special large pieces of equipment of the preferred type had to be purchased in Europe This equipment was far too large to be moved by rail hence had to be transferred to barges for movement from port of entry to Augusta These are some but certainly not all of the reasons we felt it necessary to locate on navigable water SUPERIOR STONE COMPANY Harry S Miller Manager Superior Stone Company operates a plant with barging facilities in Eastern North Carolina and has found barging to be an effective and low cost means of transportation Crushed stone being a low cost commodity is heavily dependent on low cost transportation The inland port of Augusta offers us the possibility of shipping to points where our rail and truck rates are not competitive The Augusta Port facilities are a solid asset for a growing area crushed stone is barged heavily in other parts of the U S and we welcome another method of transporting our product CONTINUED NEXT PAGE THE PROCTER GAMBLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY Procter Gamble has acquired an easement to the river which includes adequate river frontage for docking purposes Certainly one of the factors in the selection of Augusta Georgia for Jthe construction of this plant was the nearness to navigable water As barge shipments on the Savannah River increase there is every likelihood that we will find it advantageous to utilize this mode of transportation AUGUST 1963 13 MONSANTO CHEMICAL COMPANY Guy F Benjamin Jr Plant Manager We are delighted that market considerations brought us to a locale which has available water transportation because we know from experience that the availability of water transportation has a good effect on transportation rates BAINBRIDGE Growth Through Prog ress FLINT RIVER MILLS INC Bainbridge Georgia J W Hunt Treasurer Flint River Mills Inc Bainbridge Ga is a manufacturer of a complete line of poultry and livestock feeds having operated since 1933 a period of 30 years In the operation of feed manufacturing we require large quantities of grains and grain byproducts A portion of these ingredients are obtained at a local level but a large quantity is obtained from the MidWest All ingredients are obtained in bulk and barge transportation is most adapted for this bulk handling Soon after the Bainbridge Ports started operation we built an elevator on the Flint River with all necessary equipment for unloading bulk grains by barge It was in April 1958 when we unloaded our first barge of grain and it was a most highly successful operation Since then we have regularly used barge transportation for a large portion of our grain requirements Recently we have expanded our storage facilities at the elevator to a capacity of 300000 bushels We find that being able to have access to truck rail and water transportation puts us in a most favorable and competitive position Any industry looking for a location or any industry considering relocating I think would do well to consider locating at Georgias inland ports C O SMITH GUANO COMPANY Moultrie Georgia C O Smith Jr We believe lha ihe costreducing advantages provided by the inland ports ol Georgia have proved very signiiicant to industry and agricnlture Georgians are enabled thereby to maintain a competitive

has opened a new facility at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal for the distribution of blackstrap molasses Richard L Driscoll President of the firm and Lester P Fisher Executive Vice President were in Savannah last month to personally supervise the arrival of the terminals initial supply of 1 million 300 thousand gallons The molasses arrived August 24 from Peru aboard the tanker MT Vivar which immediately began pumping the heavy syrup into three large storage tanks at the Sunshine State Terminal on Brampton Road Strachan Shipping Company of Savannah is the agent for the Vivar From its new facility at GPAs Garden City Terminal Sunshine will distribute the blackstrap molasses by rail and truck to Georgia feed manufacturers Blackstrap molasses is in growing demand by the feed industry because it can be economically mixed with dry ingredients to produce a livestock feed that is nutritional and at the same time particularly attractive to animals because of its flavor and odor Market Potential In commenting on the new Savannah terminal Driscoll said We are firmly convinced that there is a nationwide market potential for feed molasses of over a billion gallons annually Much of this is right here in Georgia There are huge markets still untapped Once molasses feeds are offered by one mill or fed by one feeder all of J D Holt GPAs executive director on the left and

excellent docking and transportation facilities of the Georgia Ports Authority In further explaining the importance of moiasses to the feed industry Fisher pointed out that the heavy syrup can be substituted up to certain levels for other carbohydrate feeds for various types of livestock dairy and beef cattle horses pigs and in smaller controlled quantities to poultry One of the cheapest

consider together the serious deficit in the U inter national balance of payments the difference between our total payments receipts from abroad compared with our total payments abyoadf Attending the Conference from Savannah were Jack E Cay Jr man of the Savannah Regional Export Expansion Council William Hopkins president of National Rosin Oil Products Hobart Manley of Reynolds and Manley Lumber Company and Joseph G Stovall Director Savannah Office U S Department of Commerce Urgency of Problem Expansion of U S exports President Kennedy declared is made urgfft by the need to balance our accounts with other nations and to strengthen the dollar as the principal preserve currency of the world This is the solution to our balance of payenj problem which is most consistent with our efforts to promote grjlpr freedom of trade and enterprise throughout the world if The business community said the President has a vital stake in this effort to expand sales abroad to make fuller use of our productive capacity vud to provide broader employment opportunities for all of our people More than three million American jobs are directly owed to U S export Although the dollar value of U S exports is greater than that of any other nation it still exports only four percent of its Gross National Product less than any other industrialized nation Germany for example exports 17 percent Japan 10 percent France 12 percent If the U S could expand exports 10 percent it would largely eliminate the balance of payments deficit Business profits of course would also be substantially increased

Conference held on September 25th Jack E Cay Jr indicated that a tax incentive will be the No 1 weapon in seeking to promote greater exports for the United States The tax incentive would take the form of a credit against the U S income taxes of the exporter Cay said that the conference recommended that steps be taken to set up Target 10000 as a new program for export expansion The program is to have as its objective the participation in export trade of 10000 U S firms that are not now exporting A campaign of direct promotion and personal contact to bring these companies into export activity on a permanent and growing basis Cay said It was pointed out that there are 315000 manufacturers in the U S who could export and of these only about 13000 to 15000 are doing so Vi ir f 1 CouncH3

operations from a Bermuda base the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron has moved to Hunter Air Force Base with new faces and a facelifting The conversion from WB50s propeller driven aircraft to the sleek WB47 jets accounts for the facelifting and also for the new faces Almost a complete personnel change from pilots to maintenance men was required as a result of the change over Lt Col Arnold E Zimmerman Squadron Commander was one of the few officers in the unit to make the move he is checked out in the new jets Most all of the new personnel are from Strategic Air Command Hurricane Hunters Since 1946 the Hurricane Hunters have provided the U S Weather Bureau with aroundtheclock hurricane warning information and although this is only a portion of their weather gathering mission it is for this they are most famous The drama of a handful of men pitting their aircraft and skill against the fury of a hurricane and penetrating its very eye to learn its secrets is as exciting as a Canaveral

trade amonfee OUR MISSION TO EUI LAURENCE W MAGRATH GPA European Director In business there is no substitute for persontoperson contact Every American has heard of the Fuller Brush Man and how a vast enterprise has been built up from the activities of energetic doortodoor salesmen who have not been afraid to take NO for an answer and as a result produced substantial sales The GPA Mission to Europe we almost said Crusade to Europe calling to mind a certain distinguished author offers a parallel in the short weeks since it was initiated Steamship operators international forwarders port and inland and many export managers naturally excepted we have found that little or nothing is known of the tremendous industrial developments of which the City of Atlanta is the hub and the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick Georgia are the gateways I vFJ When we have spoken of Atlanta as a city of over 1000000 population and growing rapidly with 3500 local branches of nationally known firms that it is the banking center of SouthEast USA there have been reactions of astonishment some almost of incredulity Mansions and Mint Juleps Too many Europeans still have a pleasant mental picture of the indolent atmosphere of the Deep South darkies working in the cotton fields cultured Southern gentlemen reclining on porches of Colonial mansions sipping mint juleps and last but not least the Georgia of Gone

SECTOR ROPE These are well known to all Europeans regardless of language Maybe too the NS SAVANNAH may ring a bell There you have it and that is what the Georgia Mission to Europe contends with Many persons do not even know whether the Port of Savannah is on the East Coast or on the Gulf and grope unashamedly for a map Nor have they a remote conception of the fine port and its facilities to say nothing of the many industrial enterprises within its bounds and nearby This is the welcome challenge GPA faces in Europe The Wheels of Bonn On July 1 1963 the European Direcs v tor was appointed On July 5 we had our first official meeting with Troost p DArcy International our European advertising agents in Duesseldorf On August 1 the office in BonnBad Godes I berg was fully operational Why Bonn The answer is that in Europe today there is no more central location The spokes of the wheel of 4 which Bonn is the center radiate equi distantly to most all of Europes important business and

north of Italy are all easily and conveniently accessible by rail or air Those who wish to visit us can do so equally easily but after all the mission above all else is one where we must make the calls and contacts and the results are already apparent through correspondence and otherwise Venture Into the Outer World The first significant venture into the outer world of international commerce

the way for visits to the many areas represented which proved both time and travelsaving The introduction was wellsupported by the special advertising which appeared in the special FIATA edition of DVZ Deutsche VerkehrsZeitung Germanys leading paper devoted to transportation and forwarding Speaking of publications we find the Georgia AnchorAge is a genuine ambassador of GPA and is wellliked and read in Europe not merely as a propaganda piece but because it is colorful and has a strong human interest appeal for European businessmen who begin more and more to recognize the vast potentialities of the State of Georgia and its 13State hinterland A Hinterland of Opportunity The word Hinterland by the way is one which every European businessman understands GPA Bonn happens and that is no coincidence either to sit astride one of the main arteries of twoway traffic serving and drawing from Central Europe the Rhine which from its navigable terminus at Basle Switzerland to the great ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp moves annually over 100 million tons of bulk and general cargo in both directions Much of it is in trade with the East Coast of USA Likewise do the Ports of Hamburg and Bremen

northwest to southeast Today it is no different as exemplified by the fact that more than 1500 trains move daily in and out of its vast railroad station The Georgia Ports Authority Logo with its

comments of Harold E Bisbort who recently assumed the post of Director of the Industry Division in the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade In this post he will have a key role in Georgias expanding and more aggressive industrial development program In commenting on the significance of the states inland waterways Bisbort says As we get more and more into the space program the launching vehicles are going to get bigger and bigger and they can only be shipped by water Georgia not only has navigable inland waterways but a long coastline which isnt too far removed from Cape Canaveral one of the nations chief missile launching sites Currently there is great potential that industrial establishments even outside the space industry will capitalize on the cheaper water transportation and the assured supplies of industrial water that are available along the Apalachicola Flint Chattahoochee and Savannah river systems A retired Army engineer Bisbort spent approximately six years in the Corps of Engineers working in the Southeast area of the United States and is a firm believer in the importance of water transportation Bisbort ADDITIONAL SERVICE T AND WEST COAST t Strachan

and distribution center was recently emphasized by Frederick H Mac Vicar Advertising and Public Relations Director of Columbia Nitrogen Corporation in an address before the Uptown Kiwanis Club of Augusta The following are key excerpts from his text which we feel are significant and worthy of sharing with our readers I o n AUGUSTA GA VY Center of 6Billion Dollar J First of all lets assume that I am trying to sell you the president of a corporation located in Cleveland Ohio on the advantages of locating part of your operation in Augusta You are a food manufacturer Up until now your company has marketed its products exclusively in the East North Central and Middle Atlantic Regions However you have recently announced that you will expand your marketing operations to include the South Atlantic Region Effective Marketing First of all Mr Corporation President I would like to show you how one corporation is already effectively marketing its products from Augusta Columbia Nitrogen Corporation is a new company with its plant and its headquarters located in this Georgia port From here it markets its products in thirtyseven states east of the Rockies through a total of thirtythree sales and distribution points located in thirteen states Companies with extremely wide and complex patterns of marketing and distribution are successfully conducting their business from Augusta at this time It is already an accepted and successful center for marketing and distribution Now Mr Corporation President let me show you why Augusta is a logical and profitable marketing and distribution center But first let me ask you if you think two hundred miles is an excessive distance in terms of distribution of your products Im sure you will agree that it is not and certainly selling and distribution costs would be quite low if you could stay within this range in your marketing efforts 6Billion Plus Buying Power marketing area AUGUSTAS GOLDEN CIRCLE since it consists of a circle with a mapdistance radius of one hundred and fifty miles the center of which is Augusta Total effective buying power of this area is estimated at 6054000000 Within Augustas Golden Circle there are eight primary metropolitan markets Augusta Atlanta Macon Savannah in Georgia Columbia Charleston and Greenville in S C and Charlotte in N C In addition there are three important markets classified as potential metropolitan markets Spartanburg and Anderson in S C and Gastonia in N C All in all there are eleven key markets within an easy road distance of two hundred miles of Augusta According to Sales Managements Survey of Buying Power for 1963 these eleven markets account for 9 of the total effective buying power of the entire South Atlantic Region They represent 25 of the total buying power of the states of Georgia North Carolina and South Carolina 8 of all the households in the South Atlantic Region are located in these markets and the effective buying income per household in these markets is 29 higher than the South Atlantic Region as a whole The GOLDEN CIRCLE markets Mr Corporation President boast a total effective buying income of more than 6 BILLION DOLLARS The eleven markets have a greater effective buying power than any single metropolitan area in the United States with the exception of seven New York Los Angeles Philadelphia Detroit Chicago Boston and San Francisco It is by any definition a tremendous market Getting closer to your specific needs taxable retail sales in the Golden Circle in 1962 amounted to almost 4 BILLION DOLLARS In Augusta we are extremely fortunate in that we are the center of a circle which contains one of the richest marketing areas in the United States I call this And most important to you Mr Corporation President retail food sales in 1962 rang the cash registers to the tune of nearly 870 MILLION DOLLARS 12 GEORGIA ANCHORAGE Simple Arithmetic H mM Simple arithmetic Mr Corporation President tells me that if you reach your sales projection of one fifth of one percent of the total dollars spent for food in the GOLDEN CIRCLE you will attain an annual sales volume of 1740000 On the other hand if you reach only half of your sales projection in the first year you will attain a volume of 870000 which is not far short of your goal of one million dollars in sales at retail As for marketing and distribution services in Augusta alone we are served by thirty trucking companies three airlines five railroads and since we are an important inland port barge lines from the sea We have a jetage airport that can handle about anything that flies and an excellent network of highways serving all the GOLDEN CIRCLE markets Also we have a complete range of marketing services and advertising media to serve you in your marketing efforts In summary the strategic location of Augusta makes it a key center for marketing and distribution and we hope you will agree that from this location you can produce distribute and market your products efficiently economically and above all profitably ir Effective Buying Power WSBSBM S Jm mm f J W HHH J Dp S Wmm Arnymstti 0 59 Wm r a FREDERICK H MacVICAR Adv and Public Relations Director

Kings Island Turning Basin within Savannah Harbor It is estimated that it will cost about 605000 to accomplish the job While the improvement work has been authorized it will be necessary for Congress to appropriate the funds to start work The 600 x TOO7 turning basin would be increased in size to 900 x 1000 Longrange planning for future improvement of the Savannah Harbor is underway and Savannah District has prepared a report recommending widening and deepening of the bar channel at Tybee Beach from 500 with a depth of 36 to 600 x 40 deep The 10mile channel into the city would be widened to 500 and 38 deep from 400foot width and 34foot depth From the city up to the Georgia State Port in Garden City it is proposed to widen the channel to 400 with a depth of 38 from 200foot width and 30foot depth The cost of this project is in the neighborhood of 7 million It is estimated that tonnage into Savannah Harbor would double by 1990 with these improvements Other studies deal with the sedimentation problem in Savannah Harbor and ways and means to eliminate or reduce the more than one million dollars spent annually on dredging In this connection a model of the Savannah Harbor has been built at the Corps Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg Mississippi and tests are now being made to determine what remedial measures need to be taken to correct the sedimentation problem and to reduce annual maintenance of the Savannah Harbor You can readily see that the Engineers are looking out for the taxpayers dollar as well as providing means for more efficiently and adequately maintaining Savannah Harbor The Public Health Service is also utilizing the model at Vicksburg in studying water pollution problems within the harbor and ways and means to take corrective measures to overcome this evergrowing menace GEORGIA ANCHORAGE The Savannah Harbor maintained by the Savannah District Army Engineers at a cost of 1333493 last year The average annual waterborne traffic for

the GPA for machinery and equipment The new warehouse will be used for the handling of bulk materials such as grain commodities and fertilizer materials Upon completion this facility will enable the port to handle some business which has had to be turned down for about six months because of the lack of space and storage facilities Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority Robert C Norman has expressed deep appreciation for the efforts of Congressman Pilcher and others who have helped to secure the federal grant for this new facility Chairman Norman said that the new warehouse and bagging facility will enable the port to handle larger volumes of shipping than ever before Traffic from and to the Gulf of Mexico moves over the Apalachicola River through locks of the Woodruff Dam in and
