VOLUME 34 — NUMBER 2
NAHUNTA CITY LIMITS EXTENDED,
OTHER CHANGES IN CITY CHARTER
A number of changes in the Na
hunta city charter were made in a
law." passed by the legislature and
recently signed by the governor.
The bill affecting Nahunta was in
troduced by Brantley’s representa
tive Jos. B. Strickland.
The most important change was
the increase in the corporate limits
of the city. The city limits now ex
tend much farther north and south
than formerly.
As amended the section concern
ing the city limits reads as follows:
“Section 3. The corporate limits of
Nahunta shall include all of land
lots eighty-eight (88) and eighty
hine (89), the westerly half of land
lots., one hundred four (104) and
one hundred five (105), the north
westerly quarter of land lot one
hundred six (106), and the norther
ly half oi land lot eighty-seven (87).
Other changes made in the city
chaxter of Nahunta were to change
the mayor and city clerk from the
fee. system of payment to straight
salary system. The mayor is to re
ceive not less than S6OO a year and
not more than S9OO.
The salary of the city clerk is
left l 'to be set by the city council.
The new law also provides that
a city policeman cannot chase a
violator of city ordinance more than
a mile outside the city limits. The
section reads as follows:
“Any policeman or marshal of
the ‘ City of Nahunta may arrest,
without warrant for violation of
any city ordinance committed in
his presence, any person within one
mile* of the corporate limits,, pro
vided that he shall have entered
into immediate and continuous pur
suit of Such offender.”
The new law also provides for
a board of registrars and for city
voters to qualify with the registrars
at least 15 days prior to any city
election; and provides that the city
polls be kept open from seven A.
M. until six P. M.
The new law raises the amount

Legion Post 210
Sells Auto Tags
For Brantley County
By Lamar Gibson
The new and striking x tags you
are beginning to see on the front
of cars in and around Nahunta and
Brantley County are a part of the
efforts of the Brantley County Post
210 of ’the American Legion to get
its Post Home completed.
These front tags are black and
yellow, the same colors as the of
ficial state license plates, and bear
a silhouette of our State and the
words, “Peach State — Brantley
County”.
They offer an opportunity to give
Brantley County a little favorable
publicity wherever you go. Every
one is encouraged to get one of
these front tags, which are on sale
at most of the local service stations
and garages, not only to let folks
know where you are from, but also
to assist the Legion in the comple
tion of this worthy project.
All proceeds go to the building
fund of the local Legion Post.
New Rules Given
On Length of
Army Service
Officials of State Headquarters,
Selective Service System, Atlan
ta, Georgia, said this week that,
the Executive Order signed by
President Eisenhower on Decem
ber 11, 1953, will result in the
reinduction of a number of men
who were released from service
after having served as little as
one or two days of active duty.
This Amendment to Selective
Service Regulations will remove
the possibility of evasion of mini
mum equitable service by a num
ber of persons who, under the
former regulations, were required
to be classified as having satis
fied requirements if they had
served on active duty for one day
or more. As revised, the regula
tions will require a minimum of
six months’ service.
Under the new regulations,
registrants who entered upon ac
tive duty in the armed forces on
or after June 24, 1948, will be
classified as 1-C only if they are
separated from active duty after
completion of six months or more
of honorable service.
This change in Selective Ser
vice Regulations will mean that
several thousand persons through
out the country now classified
in 1-C will be subject to reclassi
fication and possible induction.
