the citizens that industrial ex

THE OBJECT OF the foreign

they mistook it for license to dom

Three Young Men
To Take Physical
Exams, for Military
Three young men left Brantley
County to go to Jacksonville for
physical examination prior to in
duction into ,the armed forces,
according to Mrs. P. D. Griffin,
draft board clerk.
The young men were Royce
Everette Carter, Route 1, Hobo

Haynes, Route 2, Nahunta. The
last named young man, Charles
Everette Haynes, was a volun

through private enterprise. Out
right gifts arouse suspicion and
generate contempt while business
ventures stimulate pride and create
friendships so long as they are
mutually profitable. A case in
point is the recent establishment
of an insurance company in the
Philippines with joint Filipino-
American capital.
♦ ♦ •
IF IT IS felt that thia natior. in
promoting its interests must assist
other countries in their economic
development, there are ways much
more effective and considerably less
costly than direct handouts from
the Federal Treasury.
One way would be to stimulate
the flow of American capital into
needy and undeveloped nations
through the incentive of fast tax
write-offs such as are now granted
to industries engaged in defense
production. Another way would
be to expand the capacity of the
World Bank to make long-term,
low-interest loans to worthy na
tions upon the security of such
collateral as undeveloped natural
resources or industrial potential.
In so doing, the United States
would be able to achieve its goal
without insulting the beneficiaries
of its assistance and, perhaps even
more important, without bankrupt
ing the American people.

Brantley county farm families
are being asked to join the nation’s
annual Rural Mail Box Improve
ment Program, to be observed for
two weeks beginning June 3.

er Dodge said the program
has beeh broadened this year to
include boxes on certain types
of suburban “mounted” routes
where the householder’s box is
close to the curb and is served
by a carrier mounted on a
vehicle.
Points »to be stressed during the
Rural Mail Box Improvement
Program are as follows:
1. Where boxes are improper
ly erected or in unserviceable
condition, patrons will be en
couraged to provide suitable re
ceptacles erected and maintained
for easy and safe accessibility,
presenting a neat appearance, and
affording protection to the mail.
2. Box holders will be urged to
paint their boxes and box sup
ports where needed.
3. Box owners wyi be urged to
inscribe their nanies clearly on
that side of the box which is
clearly visible to the carrier as
he approhchfcs, if they have not
Already done so.

Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Keen an

.He weighed nine pounds and nine
ounces and has been named
Ephraim Brantley Keen. The
mother and baby returned home
on Wednesday from a Jesup hos
pital.
of patrons to group boxes to
gether at ope site along thd road
wherever practicable. *
5. Box holders will be asked to
make sure boxes are located on
the proper side of the road.
The proper side of the road for
the box is on the' right hand side
of the road in the direction the
carrier drives when covering his
route, unless the locality is such
that it does not present a hazard
or a violation of law for the car
rier to cross to the left side of
the road to make the delivery.
On “mounted” routes approved
rural boxes need not be provided
but they must be of a “rural”
type,—that is they. must be a
type located at the curb line, and
erected so ♦hat the bottom of the
box will be 3^ to 4 feet above
the roadway. Also, of course they
should provide protection for the
mail against the weather.
To show what progress has
been made, attention was called
to a POst Office Department ef
fort of IpM — when some of the
first efforts were being made by
postal authorities to improve
rural mail boxes. The report
stated ‘Extreme’carelessness wai
manifested — tomato cans, cigar
boxes; drainage pipes, upended
soap boxes, and even section^ of
discarded stovepipes were used
as mail boxes.” * -
