Camp Cornelia, about twelve miles southwest of Folkston, county seat, was the headquarters of the ill-fated 1889 project to drain the swamp and convert it to farmland. After forcing a drainage canal thirteen miles into the swamp, the sponsors were forced to abandon the pro ject, and the swamp has remained undomesticated to this day. In 1937 the area was designated a National Wildlife Refuge. In scenic Charlton County and throughout Georgia, the U. S. Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions. 'Believing that strict law enforcement serves the best interest of the people of Georgia, the Founda tion stresses close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials in its continuing "self-regulation” program.

OFFERS IRRIGATION SERVICE From Blackshear comes the art | nouncement of a new company ie voted to the irrigation needs of South Georgia farmers. This com i pany. Super Rain, is a division of Truett Hardware Co., of Black shear, and is organized to serve those farmers desiring to irrigate or to secure a wrvey of irrigation needs, equipment necessary, and costs. Super Rain is headed by Charles Truett, a 1951 graduate of Georgia Tech. As a graduate engineer, Mr. Truett is in a position to conduct । a responsible survey for those de siring it. “The 1954 drought, worst in his tory in this section, brought home to many of us the need for irri gation,” said Mr. Truett, "but most do not know, specifically, i what the exact requirements are, or what the dollars- and- cents costs would be. That is the pur-j pose of our organization — to pro vide a reliable, responsible survey of irrigation needs, and an exact estimate of the cost of filling them.” » “We think this service is es pecially needed.” Mr. Truett con tinued, "because most farmers Some Old-Age Benefits May Be Refigured Several hundred retired work ers in this area who are draw ing federal old-age insurance benefits may now have their bene fit amount refigured by disre garding periods of disability be fore they reach 65, Mr. O. L. Pope, Manager of the Waycross Social Security Office announced today. • When the amount of the social security benefit was originally figured, the period of disability before reaching 65 had to be used. This resulted in lower benefits than would have been the case to work until he became 65. If if the individual had been able this retired wage earner now establishes a period of disability before reaching 65, his case can be completely reopened and a larger benefit amount paid. The requirements that one must meet in order to qualify for this .“disability freeze” are as follows: 1. A person must be totally dis abled for any work. 2. The disability must have ex isted for at least 6 months and is expected to be long continued. 3. The disabled person must have worked in covered employ ment for 5 out of 10 years be fore the disability began and for one and one-half out of the 3 years just before he became dis abled. 4. He must have been under 65 at the time the disability be gan. A person must meet all of these requirements in order for the provisions of the “disability free ze” to apply. If you were disabled before you reached age 65, and you are still unable to work, you are in vited to contact your nearest So cial Security District Office and discuss your case.

Spe cial hard alloy chain track minimizes wear. IN FOR DEMONSTRATION rea'ize that an mproperly planned or installed system can prove tc be a very costly matter indeed.’' Mr. Truet‘ stressed that irriga tion is a highly profitable invest ment, even in years of normal rainfall. “Irrigation provides not only insurance against drought,’ he continued,” but it is a guaran tee of greater crop yield during any year. And new low costs and methods have combined to bring it within the reach of even the small farmer.” “Os course our business includes the selling and installing of irri gation equipment,” he said. “We do feel, however, that our irriga tion survey, offered without cost or obligation, can do much to help the farmers in this section learn something of what irrigation entails, and what it car do for them.” i Truett Hardware Company, of which Super Rain is the new divi sion, is familiar to farmers of this section. Under Mr. J. B. Truett, this company has been serving i them since 1925. It is felt that this new service will prove to be ano ther step in the progress of agri- । culture in South Georgia. $252.75 Nahunta, Ga. classified rfBW ADS * Sweet Shoppe and Building for Sale I wish to sell my business, the Sweet Shoppe, including stock, fixtures and building.
