Official Organ of Brantley County ——-- —-■ ————r-rr— t —• GAME .<• FISH W Ry FULTON LOVELL Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission ENJOY YOUR WATER— AND DRINK IT, TOO AN adage almost as old as time itself says “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” Add and subtract a few words and the same theory will apply to water. Ex- cept, you CAN enjoy your water—and drink it, too. Until recently, the idea of using public water supplies and reservoirs for recrea tion was grudgingly agreed to by tech nicians. However, modern trend is to ward more water recreation, even on im poundments where drinking water is taken. Technicians have swapped their frowns for smiles since they have dis covered that recreation does not inter- ruiton Loveii sere with their plans for public drink ing facilities. What caused this sudden surge of recreational popu larity? Some experts feel a creeping lust for outdoor play is sweeping the nation. Pleasure seekers, be they young or old, are using Georgia’s lakes and impoundments more than ever before for water skiing, swimming, camping, boating and fishing. Many urban families have turned to lake sites to bask in the sun or fish on weekends. ♦ * * * * Big Boost To Economy The demand for water for recreational use, as well as industrial and commercial uses, is greater than ever before. Industries use 60 billion gallons of fresh water every day; 25 trillion gallons are being used by farmers on irrigation projects; power companies and affiliated groups use a great deal of our water in providing electricity for homes and industries. Yet, all of these combined have little effect on water recreation. . H ater sports have increased demand for new boat , *ng equipment, fishing tackle and other equipment re lated to water to such an extent that many merchants deal exclusively with goods of this nature. Addition of new reservoirs in Georgia has been a big boom to small towns as well as large cities. Jim Woodruff Reservoir, for example, will draw many tourists to com munities surrounding the lake. This means additional tourist courts, boat docks and resorts which, in turn, means more business for merchants. More reservoirs means that more Georgia fishermen will be enticed to fish. Increasing number of fishermen will boost fishing tackle sale and the sale of fishing licenses. Management Needed No lake will look after itself. This is a theory proven many times by Game and Fish Departments all over the country. The Georgia Game and Fish Commission is work ing toward making Georgia lakes the most productive in the country for fishermen. This long range program demands the attention of several specialized fish tech nicians, plus the attention of every fisherman in the stele- ► But, aside from managing the fish in our impoundments, the water must be protected, too. In 1954, Governor Marvin Griffin appointed a Water Use and Conservation Committee to study the water prob lems of the state and how to combat them. Pollution, utilization of water resources and lake management are but a thimbleful of the areas the Committee have con centrated their attention. Water is a common commodity that every one of us uses every day, whether to drink it, bathe in it or enjoy the pleasure derived from water sports. We need water. We must have water in order to survive. But. to fulfill our requirements, we must protect our supply to assure us of enough to keep our future bright.

Information on Social Security Rights Is Given The Social Security Adminis tration has called attention to new social security rights for persons who have been disabled for some time and veterans with service-connected disabilities. New amendments recently passed by Congress and signed by the President extend the deadline for persons severely dis abled before January 1, 1955, to file an application for a “freeze” to protect their social security benefit rights. The amendments also provide that veterans with service-connected disabilities may receive full disability compensa tion from the Veterans Adminis tration. The original deadline was set at last June 30. The new deadline is June 30, 1958. Social Security benefits are based on the average earnings of the worker. Under the disa bility “freeze” provision, years of no earnings because of disa bility may be dropped in com puting the average earnings. This retains full benefits for disabled workers, based on their period of actual employment. Legal Advertising GEORGIA, BRANTLEY COUNTY. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Joseph R.
