Under the act, funds cannot be used in buying library pro perty or buildings. It can only be used to employ personnel, to purchase books and to buy and operate bookmobiles. The program of federal aid to libraries gave $2,000,000 to rural libraries in Georgia last year. If approved by the Senate, every state coming into the program will get $40,000 the first year with other funds being distri buted on a population basis. It would help get libraries started in many Georgia counties, and should guarantee every county in Georgia access to the services of a bookmobile.

It has become a futile alter native for a genuine and workable foreign policy. Behind our Magi not Line of foreign-aid billions, we have hoaxed ourselves with the conviction that we have purchased security.” • * * WITH REFRESHING forthright ness and meticulous documentation, Mr. Castle—reporter, world traveler and authority on motion pictures and propaganda — presents the frightening truth about the blun ders and waste of the variously named foreign giveaway programs which have cost the United States S6O billion since the Marshall Plan ( Keep up with the News About Your Home County.

Atkinson-Waverly Road and Satilla Bridges in Projects Bids are being asked by the State Highway Department for constructing six bridges in Bran tley County on U. S. Route 301 through the river swamp at Twin Rivers, also for grading and pav ing about 14 miles of the Atkin son-Waverly road. Advertisements for bids of these two important Brantley County highway projects are being run in this issue of the Enterprise. The six bridges on U.S. 301 are part of the reconstruction project of new fills and bridges now being carried out near Twin Rivers about six miles north of Nahunta. The bridge project requires the removal of the old bridges, ac cording to the advertisement. The Atkinson-Waverly project has been sought for several years by the commisioners of Brantley and Camden counties and by all the citizens of that section. It will greatly facilitate traffic going from U.S. 84 on the short route through to U.S. 17 at Waverly. Hickox H. D.

I. Bill of Rights for veterans of the Chinese Na tionalist Army. ♦ ♦ ♦ DECLARING IT TO be an "act of folly” for any government to borrow money in order to give it away in the name of global good ness, Mr. Castle points out that such a policy actually aids our enemies because, through it, they are enabled to “deliberately whip saw us between contrived emergen cies.” This book should be read by every American taxpayer. There is no doubt that, if it were, foreign aid would die by the very means pro posed by the author as the only way to put an end to the giveaways and lendaways of handout diplo macy; that is, through the demands of the “home folks” upon their representatives in Congress. “Foreign aid has become an opiate which blinds us to the appalling fact that w e r e doing little more than drift in our foreign policy course,” he (Not proparod or printed at govoinmo^t o^ponot) (Plus Sales Tax)
