Newspaper Page TextBrantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, August 29, 1957 Brantley Enterprise Published weekly on Thursday at Nahunta, Georgia CARL BROOME EDITOR and PUBLISHER Entered at the Post Office at Nahunta, Georgia as second class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. Official Organ of Brantley County Life in the Amazing 1980's — What Will It Be Like? A report on America’s “growingest quarter century” the next 25 years — is contained in the June issue of Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. Population growth will push our population to 250 million from the present 170 million. Science, technology, medicine, new business methods, new markets and new communities will produce a nation of a 100 million job holders, twice as many college students as now, 130 million automobiles and a four-day work week. Here are some additional fore casts by the Changing Times edi tors: Jobs — In 1982 machines may do much of your work but not your thinking. A new breed of workers will develop and those who can truly be masters of the machines will be the ones who move ahead. White-collar workers will be far more numerous than blue- collar. People run things — man agers and proprietors — will al most double in number. Stores, banks, real-estate firms, insurance companies, utilities and govern ment will all step up their hiring to a greater degree than manu facturing industry. Pay will al most double today's levels, in today’s dollars. Inflation — The 1982’s dollar will be worth much less than today’s. Inflationary pressure will be high government spending, rising wage levels and constant need for capital. In coping with inflation, choose the industries with the greatest promise of growth when you invest. You won’t get rich quick, but your dollars will grow as the industries do. Travel — It will be an even smaller world in 1982. No county or city will be more than 24 hours away. Travelers will ride in supersonic jet planes at speeds two to three times that of sound. Cruising speed will be 1,500 miles per hour. Commuters will go in airplanes that rise straight up, then go straight forward. Cars may have fuel-injection motors which do not need car buretors. They will have 25% more horsepower than today’s cars, and may even be without transmissions. Parts may be seal ed, so you may never need a grease job. Some trains may be atom powered and built to go at two miles per minute. Others will rocket along on monorails. Housing — A new kind of house is on the way. It will blend into the outdoors and bring nature inside, and it may be round instead of square. Color will be everywhere, and if you get tired of the color of an inter ior wall, you will replace the wall with one of another shade. Push button windows will close automatically if it rains. A whish of air will clean and dry the dishes in three minutes.

O D ... / 1 By Guy Chambless - “WHOEVER HAS FAITH IS YOUNG, NO MATTER HOW OLD HE IS: WHOEVER HAS LOST FAITH IS OLD, EVEN AT TWENTY-ONE ” Faith, as most of us realize, helps provide an encouraging outlook for the future and a reliable bulwark toward the flood tides of despondency which engulf us all on certain occasions. It is the strength and courage and hope derived from a steadfast faith that keeps us always looking forward and upward. Admittedly, faith does not make us young physically, but in the sense that it gives us the necessary fortitude to overcame obstacles and misfortunes, we can, in all honesty, say that faith does keep us young in the sense that we have the elasticity of youth which enables us to bounce back stronger than ever in times of stress. CHAMBLESS FUNERAL HOME NAHUNTA. GEORGIA trostatic dust gatherers will keep the house shiny. If it’s a hot summer, you’ll use a blanket that keeps you cool. Your newspaper will be as colorful as a slick magazine. Some clothing will be made of paper products and disposable after a couple of wearings. The refrigerator will have lost its importance, since most foods wpn’t need refrigeration, but will be irradiated, chemically treated, or dehydrated. Schools & colleges — For every student in public school and col lege today, there will be almost two students enrolled 25 years from now. The same ratio will apply to teachers. As many as three college professors for every one today will be needed. A great deal of teaching will be done by TV and films. Schools will be open 12 months a year. Courses will be speeded up and technical training will be a must. What will all this cost? At least 50 billion dollars a year for all the colleges and schools in the nation. That’s 35 billion more than today. Government money will provide most of the needed cash. Electronics — One third of all power produced will have its source in the atom. New plastics, paint, textiles, metals, medicines, building mat erials and chemicals will result from experimentation with atomic processes. Nuclear ships, planes and trains will be in use by 1982. Offices and apartments may be heated by a low-pressure atomic reactor. A new science of the sun will I emerge. Energy gathered from sun rays will be used to power homes and factories, drive ships, provide fuel for remote corners of the earth. Other electronic .miracles will be specially adjusted phones that will enable you to get your party when you dial only one numeral or letter; typewriters that re spond to the spoken word; ma chines that translate from one language to another. Business — The total output of goods and services will be ap proaching one trillion dollars a year by 1982. Retailers will thrive. Their biggest lines will be appliances and recreational equipment. The sea will be ex ploited for materials and farmed for food. There won’t be as many farm ers, but they will grow and reap more and work shorter hours. New machines, fertilizers and chemicals will help. Over-all, farm production will increase by a third. If all this sounds too fantastic, the editors point out that the last 25 years have brought wond ers you wouldn’t have dreamed of in 1932. Among them, the split ting of the atom, commerical TV, regular transatlantic air service, night baseball, Acrilan, Dacron, streptomyicin, aureomycin, other wonder drugs, electronic calcula tors, jet airplanes and 100-acre shopping centers.

HUIET- Speaks to Rotarians Huiet Speaks To Rotarians The Blackshear Rotary Club Tuesday heard Georgia’s Com missioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet explain the organization and services rendered by his depart ment. Mr. Huiet, who has served as head of the Georgia Department of Labor since 1938, gave figures on employment, job insurance coverage, and employment place ments for Pierce county and the state as a whole. With a population of 11,112 ac cording to the 1950 census, he said, Pierce county had 3,705 em ployed persons with 56 per cent of these being in agriculture. The white population is 78 per cent of the total population for this county, Mr. Huiet said. In 1956, covered employment in Pierce county included 755 persons and wages paid to work ers covered under his depart ment were $1,849,016. Unemployed persons in Pierce county now filing job insurance claims total 32 at present, the Commissioner said. Total job insurance payments in Pierce county for 1956 were $15,162. Mr. Huiet also discussed va rious aspects of the work of his department, including adminis tration of child labor laws, work men’s compensation,, conciliation service, plant safety and sanita tion supervision, and other phases. In the business session, which preceded Mr. Huiet’s talk, Ro tarians made plans to begin the sale of season football and bas ketball tickets for 1957-58 for Blackshear High School games. Season tickets to the home games are available from Ro tarians and from Blackshear Lions. The season basketball tick ets which includes 10 home games is $4 and the football tickets, good for six home games, is $5. Anyone buying both a season basketball and football ticket gets them for $8 total. ASC Reports on z Flue-Cured Field Inspections This summer, the identifica tion of undesirable flue-cured tobacco varieties in the field was introduced for the first time, ac cording to County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee chairman, C. G. Cjough. He reports that 860 Pierce county farms were visited by the variety identification spe cialists. The inspectors found one farm growing undesirable varieties of flue-cured tobacco. The acreage of discount varieties (Coker 139, Coker 140, and Dixie Bright 244) totaled 2.48 acres. Field inspection is a part of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture’s effort to cut down produc tion of undesirable varieties and to supplement its price-support discount of 50 percent for such varieties. The proper identification of all undesirable varieties in the field is also definifely to the ad vantage of farmers who are con cerned about the size of their tobacco allotment and the mar kets available for their tobacco The production of undesirable tobaccos has contributed to the reduction in the flue-cured acre age allotments. Mr. Clough said there were 92 farms inspected in Florida, with 47 growing discount varie ties of flue-cured tobacco to the extent of 125 acres. So far in North Carqlina, 1,080 farms have been inspected; only 164 showed discount varieties being grown on 752 acres. In Georgia 2,134 farms have been inspected and only 35 were growing discount varieties on 60 acres. South Caro lina’s inspection record revealed 104 farms inspected, with 47 growing discount varieties on 109 acres. Virginia reports indicate 272 farms inspected, with 19 of them growing undesirable varie ties on 72 acres. Inspection has not been com pleted over the entire flue-cured tobacco producing area and is being continued.

Fall and winter, with their short days and long nights, are not far off and lights outdoors will be needed more and more. The engineers urge the use of outdoor type fixtures to pre vent breakage of hot bulbs dur ing rains. A MARKET-WISE FARMER The first step the market-wise farmer will take in getting ready to sell his cotton is this: He will ask his ginner to sample each bale and mail the samples to the Government Cotton Classing Lab oratory in Atlanta or Augusta for a free grade and staple re port. It takes only three or four days to get the report, and Arthur Bond, cotton specialist, Agricul tural Extension Service, says it may prove to be the most re warding of any time spent on the crop.
