EARLY COUNTY '
4-H’er REPORTS ON ‘
CAMP WINIWANCA
By CAROLE MONFORT
Here I am at the National American
Youth Fellowshiy-Leadership Camp,
Camp Winiwanca, Oceana County,
Michigan.
The camp is a very lovely-place and
is right on the shore of Stony Lake.
1 have enjoyed every single moment
of my stay here, and I would like to
give a schedule of my typical day: l
The day begins at 6:30 with flag
raising exercises, and a dip in the lake.
Devotionals are held at 7:15 and break
fast at 7:30. Each day is filled with
classes, my first one being “Four-Fold
Development” followed by my secondl
class on “Lige and Teachings of Jesus”.
The entire camping group thenj
meets for assembly and we are ready’
for our 3rd class on “The Art of Crea-‘
tive Living” which is followed by “Un.
derstanding Leadership”. We then
have 5 minutes to walk to lunch which
is at 1:00 o’'clock, after lunch we have
a tribal meeting—l am a member of
the Crawford Indian Tribe.
After the tribal meeting we are
ready for our 30 minutes of free time
and my photography class at 2:15; im
mediately after this, our tribal games
are held in competition.
We participate in all kinds of sports.
Yesterday, I pitched softball and our
team won 5-1. Then we have 15 min
utes to take a shower and, I might add, ‘
this is the only time water for showers
is turned on, so if you are late, it is
just too bad. |
Dinner is served at 5:30 p. m. follow
ed by another tribal meeting, and a
long assembly. At 10:00 we are home
ward bound to our tents and sleeping
bags. )
Another item of interest is that we
have no electric lights, so everything
is found and done after dark by way
of flashlights.
Each assembly is most interesting as
we have representatives from ‘every
state in the nation plus 5 Canadian
Provinces.
Speakers for our assembliesc vary
quite frequently but all of them are
very learned people.
The trails that we have to travel
are long and uphill, so by mealtime,
we are certainly ready to greet it with
a big smile. Speaking of meals. . . we
have delicious food that is served in
courses which you serve yourself.
I believe you can tell by our schedule
that we are very busy at Camp Mini
wanca. We never think of our packed
days as work though because of the
association with so many different
types of girls. I think this is one of
the most interesting phases of our
camping program, having the privilege
of meeting and talking with girls from
other states and countries.
As for being selected the 4-H Girl
from Georgia to attend Camp Mini
wanca, I want to challenge each 4-H
member in Early county, and the State
of Georgia, to strive for this one goal—
it is truly an experience one can never
forget, and you will treasure the mem
ories for a lifetime. .
I will give you a further report when
I return home on August 12.

Bobby Kennedy
|
For Butting In
Atlanta — (GPS At least one Georgia
politician unhesitatingly lashed out at
U. S. Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy for
his latest attempt to meddle in state
affairs. ; '
Immediately after the Justice De- |
partment intervened, in the injunction
bhearing before Federal Judge Robert
Flliott, former Gov. Marvin Griffin,'
now a candidate for governor, declar
ed that the President’s brother had
only served to make an already critical '
situation worse. [
The suit being heard was brought
by the City of Albany in an effort toi
legally stop marches, boycotting, pick-!
eting and other protest activities which
have aggravated Albany’s racial trou- |
bles. '
“Bobby Kennedy says the depart-'
ment intervenes as a friend of thel
court,” Griffin said. “What hypocrasy.
It intervenes as a friend of agitatorsl
and disturbers of the peace. . . ..” |
In his strongly-worded statement,
the former governor invited Kennedy
to listen to a tape recording of a speech.
made in Macon last month by Martin
Luther King. Sr., father of the integra-|
tion leader. Said Griffin:
“Let the Negro preacher Martin Lu
ther King, Sr., watch his language. Let'
him tell Bobby Kennedy what he
means by telling the Negroes to go up
to the whites and say, ‘This is no white
man’s world.” and then he adds ‘You
tell them.’ “
“Judge Robert Elliott said it is his
duty to protect the rights of the ma-:
jority as much as it is his duty to pro-.
tect the rights of the minority. Bobby
Kennedy apparently doesn’'t think so.i
“Kennedy is adding tortues to an
already critical situation. He should
come down out of the stratosphere andi
travel by land where he can see the
railroad crossing sign—Stop! Look! and
Listen!” . |

$2.6-MILLION IS
ALLOTTED TO BUY,
DEVELOP ISLANDi
| Atlanta—(GPS) Georgia's port ex- |
pansion program got a potent shot-in- |
the-arm the other day when Gov. Er- |
' nest Vandiver allocated $2.6 million for
'the purchase and development ofi
' Colonels Island at Brunswick for in- |
dustrial purposes.
The Governor approved sl.l-million
to buy Colonels Island across Turtle
‘River from the present state docks |
'and authorized another $1.5-million to
| develop it as a terminal for ocean ves-l
sels and barges,
He announced he wold provide funds !
for the project before some 45 repre
sentatives of the Glynn County and
Brunswick commissions, Chamber of
Commerce and the Georgia and Bruns
wick ports authorities.
The island was described as one of
three remaining locations on the At
lantic seacoast best suited for a deep-|
water port and industrial develop-l
ment. Consisting of 2,000 acres of high
ground and between 6500 and 7.000‘
acres of marshland, Colonels Island
lis located across the river from the
!present dock facilities at Brunswick
and is reached by crossing the Sidney
{Lanier Bridge. Jekyl Island is nearby.
i The land, now privately owned, has
| baen appraised by the Brunswick Real
lEstate Board to be worth $1.3-million.
| The State has an option to purchase
it. U. S. Highway 17 passes along side
the property.
| Declaring that he has become con
viced that the state must have the
land, Gov. Vandiver said:
“If Georgia is to expand and become
a great ports state. as it surely will,
we must acquire this site. I have per
| sonally been to Brunswick and seen the
' limited area for expansion there. The
. present area is so small-that it prevents
; further development.
| ““We not only have to have it, but
‘ we must begin to develop it. We can't
' let it sit there, With all this in mind.
I am in a‘position to transter the nec
- esceary funds to the Georgia Depart
- ment of Commerce, which handles the
. Ports Authority's bonds, not only for
ithe purchase. but also for a $1.5-mil
lion development of Colonels Island.

Blakely Telephone
Numbers Changed
Last Sunday Night
At one minute past midnight Sunday
morning, all of the telephone numbers
in Blakely and the outlying area were
changed, and all subscribers to the
Goergia Telephone Company in Blake
ly now have 7 digit numbers, formerly
local residents had four digit numbers.
Months of preparation went into
the switch over on August 12. A com
plete new system has been set up
and the old telephone system is now
obsolete.
This is thenew terminal per station
system. This means that in most cases
a phone can be moved from one loca
tion to another without changing the
number.
It is designed to give more efficient
service, and in the future when call
ing Blakely long distance the area code
will be 912. This does not mean sub
scribers will be able to dial their own
long distance, but it does mean to give
the area code the operator will not
have to look up, or distance, ete.
Charles DeLoach. owner and manag
er of the Georgia Telephone Co., says
there are about 1600 phones served by
the local office. There were about 700
phones in Blakelv in 1954, when Mr.
DeLoach bought the telephone com
pany.

phone company includes: Mrs. Curtis
Loyless, office manager; Mrs. Charles
DeLoach, bookkeeper; Mrs. Frances
Enfinger, clerk; Glen Enfinger, Plant
