Brewers Foundation Publicizes Brantley County in Newspapers Brantley County is due for some statewide publicity this month when it is saluted as one of Georgia’s most prosperous pulpwood areas. The publicity will reach an estimated 1,000,000 Georgians with the ad which appears in this week’s Enterprise. It is part of the advertising program of the Georgia Division, United States Brewers Founda tion, in its “Salute to Georgia Counties” series, which began in 1951. Brantley County is the 84th county to be honored. The series is designed to better acquaint out-of-state readers of Georgia newspapers with the state. The ad points out that Brant ley County’s deer and turkey hunting is good and the Satilla Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

Scout Troop Organized In Nahunta Approximately 150 parents and other interested adults and boys met for the first organizational meeting of Cub and Boy Scout units in Nahunta on Thursday evening, Dec. 5, at the Grammar School auditorium under the di rection of Norman Stevens of Brunswick. Bob Smith was named Scout master; Rep Johns, Cubmaster; Bobby’ Strickland, institutional advisor. A number of other men will be asked to serve as assis tants and to serve on the Boy Scout Council. Because of the approaching holidays the next meeting will be called in January at the Ameri can Legion Building. All parents are especially urged to take part in the next two organizational meetings in order to become more familiar with the Scouting program. Mr. Stevens stressed that it would be necessary to have the full co-operation of the parents if the program is to be success ful. Particular appreciation goes to the men who do not have Cub or Boy Scout age children but who are willing to give of their time to help make Scouting a vailable in, Nahunta. The interest and enthusiasm in the first meeting point to the need for such an organization to give our boys supervised activi ties and additional training in honor and skills that help pro vide a fuller life.

Giant Machine Tons of Kraft JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-In the fall of 1957 St. Regis Paper Com pany placed in operation here at Jacksonville the South’s newest and largest paper machine, capa ble of producing 1,000 tons a day of kraft paper-board, used pri marily in the manufacture of corrugated containers. . St. Regis began producing pa per here in 1953 with a machine making slightly more than 300 tons a day. In its other Southern mill at Pensacola, production av erages above 750 tons a day. The Jacksonville paper mach ines require some 1,800 cords of wood a day which come from farmers and landowners in Geor gia counties as far north as Fay ette, Clayton and Newton, and from north and central Florida counties east of the Appalachi cola River, and from forests in Florida and Georgia which it owns or controls under long-term management contracts. The manufacture of paper, with St. Regis, begins with the seed that grows the tree that pro vides the pulp that makes the board. During the last planting season, more than 20 million pine seedlings, most of them raised in St. Regis nurseries, were plant ed in company forests. During the current season, even more seedlings will be planted. The company furnishes many millions of seedlings each year to private landowners from whom it purchases wood, and skilled foresters assist these land owners in getting maximum wood production in their forests. Os the 70-odd species of pines, the principal soft woods used at Jacksonville are longleaf, slash and loblolly pine. By making ex tensive outside purchases of wood, the company preserves a balance between the reserves on its own land and the trees on the tracts operated by local land owners and farmers. St. Regis is participating in an industry-wide forest genetics pro gram designed to better the qua lity of pine seedlings used for reforestation. The short term goal is to collect seed from “su perior” trees, to graft cuttings from them and thus improve the quality of seed. The long range goal is a breed of better trees, faster growing with more drought and disease resistance and better quality fibre. In 1956 a seed or chard of cuttings was established near the Pensacola mill. At Jacksonville St. Regis also will use a considerable amount of hardwoods to improve the finish and the printing surface. This pulp will come mainly from na tural stands of oak and gums, and St. Regis already has started a program to improve, increase and preserve these hardwood fo rests. The woodyard, pulp mills and two paper machines are located on a fenced .mill site of 200 acres which is part of a 1,400 tract owned by St. Regis near the Jacksonville airport. The mill is surrounded by its own land, by water, and has room for expan sion or related industrial develop ments. Deep wells on its own property presently provide 40 million gallons of water per day, and additional water supply is available. At the mill the pulpwood logs are debarked, and chipped into efficient sizes for cooking in the kraft process pulp mills. After cooking and washing the fibres are “refined,” and then fed to the paper machines as a mixture of water and wood fibre which is not more than one half of one percent fibre. The paper is form ed on the endless-belt bronze wire screens of the Fourdriner machines at speeds up to 28 miles an hour in sheets as wide as 23 feet. After forming, the paper is carried over press and drying rolls to remove water and form a tough, uniform sheet of paper. The new machine, named the “Seminole Chief,” is six hundred and four feet long, twice the length of a football field. The paper is wound onto giant “jumbo” rolls as it comes from the machine. These are then re wound and slit into rolls of smaller diameter and width. These rolls, marked with identi fication data such as grade, basis weight and roll weight then are ready for shipping to customers or for storage in the giant Jack sonville warehouse with a capa city of 25,000 tons of paper. The Nahunta Grammar School PTA will meet in the school auditorium Thursday evening, Dec. 19, at 7:00 o’clock. Please join us in this Christmas pro gram.

YOUR HELP NEEDED The Brantley Enterprise, like most newspapers, oper ates on a rather tight sche dule which is built around deadlines that must be met. This statement is made to call attention to the fact that all news copy, in order to be assured of publication must be in the Brantley En terprise office not later than Wednesday noon. Hardly a week goes by but that some news items are received later than this. In most cases extra effort is made and the item gets in the paper, but it works a hardship on the staff, and it often means night work. , Sorry, we just can’t guar antee that it’ll be printed if it is received later than Wednesday noon!
