Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Dec. 22, 1955 Lower Loan On 'Pale, Slick' Leaf Planned The U. S. Department of Agri culture announced this week that in its price-support program for 1956-crop flue-cured tobacco it plans to discount any “pale and slick” tobaccos that may be of fered for loan. The proposed action is being announced at this time, in ad vance of announcement of the 1956 price support program for flue-cured tobacco, in order to forewarn growers who will soon be purchasing seed, planting seed beds, signing tenant agreements, and making other preparations for their 1956 crop. The discount proposed tor “pale and slick’’ tobaccos under the 1956 price-support program for flue-cured tobacco would be such as to set the loan rate for tobac cos with these characteristics at a level reflecting their relative value in the market. Currently the market value of “pale and slick” flue-cured tobacco is 20 percent or more below that for similar qualities free of these un desirable characteristics. Department officials stated that the need for the proposed action arises from the fact that the quantity of “pale and slick” to bacco entering flue-cured mar kets rose significantly with the 1955 crop. Prior to this year the quantity entering the market was not appreciable, and the quantity entering CCC loan stocks was not sufficient to warrant segre gation from other stocks. With the rapid increase this year in the quantity of “pale and slick” tobacco offered, the Department plans to designate tobacco with these characteristics by an ap propriate grade symbol in 1956, thus making the loan discount practicable. The Department makes price supports available through loans to the Flue-cured Tobacco Co operative Stabilization Corpora tion, Raleigh, N. C., operating under contractural arrangements with Commodity Credit Corpora tion. Palmetto News By Mrs. W. H.

Let Your Home Newspaper Help You to Invite Your Home People to Trade with You Corporation Planned To Erect Building The possibility that Nahunta may get a garment factory in the near future has developed as a result of the investigations of an eastern firm concerning a suitable building and the local labor supply. The firm would make child ren’s garments and would em ploy from 50 to 100 women work ers. The payroll would run into many thousands of dollars »Jin ually. The entire project is still in the realm of possibilities and nothing definite has been decided. If the garment firm comes to Nahunta, it will require a building about 60 by 160 feet or about 10,000 square feet of floor space to be gin. The factory would be en larged as workers were trained and the market expanded. A number of Brantley County citizens met with a "'F^pyesenta tive of the garment firm Tues day'and discussed the various possibilities as to securing a suitable building. One result of the discussion is that a corporation may be form ed to erect a building which would be leased to the garment firm for a period of years. The cost of the building would be amortized over a period of 20 years and the rental charges would pay for the original in vestment plus five percent in terest. The garment firm has asked local citizens to provide a build ing within 90 days if possible. The factory would be started as soon as the building was complet ed. ’ Women who wish to work in a garment factory are requested to contact the employment office in. Waycross for possible work in the garment factory at Nahunta when and if the factory is start ed here. The representatives of the gar ment factory state that women from 18 years upward will be employed at sewing machines to make children’s garments. The minimum wage would be $1 an hour after a short period of train ing. The work week would be 40 hours. If a local corporation is form ed in Brantley County to erect a factory building, stock in the pro ject will probably be offered to the general public. The corpora tion would own the factory build ing and the rate of interest on stock would be five percent an nually. Claude Smith Thanks Voters I wish to express my thanks to the voters of Brantley County who helped me to win my race for Ordinary. Your support for this important office is deeply appreciated by me and I will do my best to merit your confidence in carrying out the duties of the office.

If I can be of service to anyone of you at any time, be sure to call on me. I thank you again for your support and cooperation. Yours sincerely, . “ Claude A. Smith.
