Corps volunteers have already
been notified.
This action is a result of noti

SCALE IN MILES , NATURAL GAS PIPE LINE

GEORGIA COASTAL NATURAL GAS CORP.
Georgia Coastal Natural Gas
Completes Plans For Service
To Southeast Georgia Area
Natural gas for Southeast
Georgia moved a step nearer
reality this week with the com
pletion of plans by the Georgia
Coastal Natural Gas Corporation
to transport the fuel to that part
of the state.
We expect to serve all towns in
the area, including Way cross and
Brunswick, stated Mr. Valene
Bennett, president of Georgia
Coastal. “Our biggest customers
would be the Atlanta Gas Light
Company’s distribution system in
those towns, and our proposed
lines would have the capacity to
fill their natural gas needs.”
The Georgia Public Service
Commission has already issued a
certificate of regulation covering
rates and facilities of the Georgia
Coastal system. This consists of
about 400 miles of pipe line, suf
ficient to fill the residential, com
merial, and industrial require
ments of the area to be served.
The industrial loads include Min-
established in this area. AZID’s
are the air defense perimeters
of the nation. In and around
them, air defense measures are
heavily accentuated to prevent
penetration of the United States
by enemy aircraft. Although na
tional ADIZ’s are presently in
operation, they will be expanded
in certain strategic area. Affect
ing Georgia and the Southeast,
the Atlantic ADIZ will begin in
Maine and extend along the
eastern coast line to Florida. Oth-
erals and Chemical Company at
Oconee, Rayonier of Jesup, Geor
gia Power and Light Company’s
new plant at Jesup, and Georgia
Power Company’s Plant McManus
at Brunswick.
The towns which Georgia
Coastal includes in its plans are
Wrightsville, Swainsboro, Soper
ton, Vidalia, Lyons, Reidsville,
Claxton, Ailey, Mt. Vernon, Glen
wood, Alamo, Mcßae, Helena,
Eastman, Lumber City, Hazle
hurst, Baxley, Jesup, Brunswick,
Alma, Waycross, Douglas, Ocilla,
Fitzgerald, Tifton, Blackshear,
and the State Prison Farm.
Asked for the position of the
Atlanta Gas Light Company con
cerning the supplying of natural
gas to this large area not being
served, Mr. Rock G. Tabor, pre
sident, stated:
“We want natural gas in Bruns
wick and Waycross, and will sup
port any effort that will result
in lowest cost to the consumer
er new ADIZ’s have also been
established.
To enter these zones, the pilot
of an aircraft must be at the
right place at the right time. Un
less he is, he is automatically
designated as an unknown by the
Continental Air Defense Com
mand system and a scramble of
jet fighter-interceptor aircraft oc
curs to effect positive identifica
tion.
Successful Air Defense begins
with the detection of enemy air
craft. The detection system now
working in connection with the
ADIZ’s consists of two factors -
radar and civilian volunteers of
the Ground Observer Corps.
Without detection and subsequent
identification, jet fighters would
not be scrambled to meet the
enemy and Civil Defense Warn
ings could not be given in time
to evacuate our cities. Detection
is a critical phase of Air Defense.
To provide the best possible
consistent with good service. The
Georgia Coastal Natural Gas
plans, which have already been
filed with the Georgia Public
Service Commission, appear to
meet these requirements.”
The home office of the com
pany will be at Alma, where a
new office building and ware
house are planned. The entire
cost of the pipe line project is
about ten million dollars, which
is being financed through Courts
and Company, of Atlanta.
Mr. Bennett pointed out that a
private stock company such as
Georgia Coastal would pay taxes
to every county through u'hich
it passed.
Other officials of the company
include Roy Richards, chairman
of the board, and Chester Roush,
vice president; J. B. Polhill, trea
surer. E. Smythe Gambrell, of
Atlanta; and E. Kontz Bennett,
of Waycross, are the attorneys.
detection, then, and to fulfill its
Air and Civil Defense commit
ments, along with other South
eastern States, the Georgia
Ground Observer Corps, working
with the United States Air Force
in the Savannah, Jacksonville,
Columbia and Knoxville Air De
fense Filter Centers will begin
continuous operations on Febru
ary Ist. Three hundred sixteen
Ground Observer Posts and near
ly six thousand Georgia citizens
in eighty-six counties, now man
ning these posts and the Air De
fense Filter Center in Savannah
will be affected immediately.
Pending completion of certain
facilities, other parts of Georgia
now encompassed by the Atlanta
and Montgomery Air Defense Fil
ter Center areas will remain in
their present “stand-by” status
until September 1, 1956, when
they will also assume “Skywatch”
or continuous duty status. Three
hundrde sixty-eight Ground Ob
server Posts and over seven
thousand Georgians in seventy
three counties, manning these
posts and the Air Defense Filter
Center in Atlanta, will be affect
ed then.
Georgia landowners cut ap
proximately 2.2 billion board feet
of sawtimber in 1954, and it is
estimated that the 1955 cut will
be about the same.

Major Gene M. Hoover, state
director of Marine recruiting, has

Draft eligible males between

1956, and then, at their own re
quest, will be ordered to immed
iate active duty for a period of
24 or 36 months, as elected by
the individual concerned.
This means that young men
may fulfil their selective service
requirements while serving on
active duty with the nation’s old

Major Hoover said that the sti
mulating Marine recruit training,
the opportunity for land, sea, and
air duty, and the vigorous sports
and educational facilities will all
be available for the men who
enter the marine corps under the
new two year program.

Your March of Dimes funds are providing the care she needs. For
she is one of the tens of thousands of polio victims “bom too soon”—
before the epic polio vaccine. Today, March of Dimes funds which
developed and tested the vaccine are financing research to improve it.
But there still are polio victims who need help. And there will be tens
of thousands more stricken before the nation has its blanket of pro
tection. March of Dimes plus the hearts and hands of polio fighters
everywhere must continue to provide our main bulwark against polio.
