Official Organ of Brantley County mJ ■ ■ Inß IW ■ | J ] Ui t K A A atirci t vyMniyj ■•■ w ** At j B JL * M s iwi By FULTON LOVELL Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission NOW'S THE TIME TO TEACH GUN SAFETY TO YOUNGSTERS NOW that Santa Claus is back at his North Pole home and the make-believeishness of Christmas has become reality, here’s a word to parents whose children were / « ua ' youngster to have a gun of his or her own Fulton Loveii for Christmas. For obvious reasons, Pop doesn’t turn junior loose in his workshop without first teaching him the proper uses of his power tools. Mom doesn’t let sister roam in the kitchen on her own without first showing her the correct way to operate the meat-grinder, the elec tric mixer and the electric range. By the same token, parents are not expected to open up the wonders of the world of hunting and shooting without knowing that children are correctly trained and adequately supervised in the art of handling and firing a gun. _ ' It is a big responsibility yet it is essential. Everyone, regardless of age, must be thoroughly familiar with fire arms if we are to expect less hunting accidents in the future. Life You Save May Be Your Own Some parents feel as if they are not capable of in structing youngsters in riflery, mainly because they have never had instructions themselves. Perhaps they don’t hunt or shoot themselves or perhaps they have little time to devote to training their youngsters. If such is the situation, all is not lost. Training is available through many church groups, Boy Scouts, YMCAs, YWCAs, 4-H clubs, Future Farm ers and other organizations. It is not a question of who gives the training but of a necessity that it be given for a gun is a marvelous tool of precision workmanship and usefulness if it is used properly and safely. Then, there’s always the grand result of having your son or daughter as your very own hunting and shooting companion. In any case, it’s your responsibility to see that youngsters get, and practice, instructions in gun handling. The life you save may be your own, or that of your child or neighbor’s child. * * * WILDLIFE POTPOURRI— The Game and Fish Commis sion’s game management division reports that 22 deer have been released on the new 48,000 acre managed area in Talbot, Harris and Muscogee counties. It is hoped that the area will progress fast enough to permit controlled hunting in five years .... despite uncooperative weather, deer season proved successful. Final count in the mountain counties, where the season closed Nov. 20, was 216 bucks, all taken outside managed areas. Season in south Georgia counties closed Jan. 5.

Young people, especially those who already have a gun of their own, must be given proper guidance and instructions to insure sportdom of less critical hunt ing accidents in the future. The responsibility doesn’t belong to the local police, the scout leader or the man on the street. It belongs to you, the parents who made it possible for your Newspaper at Hahira Fills a Community Need (From The Atlanta Constitution) As the result of dedicated community action, Hahira now has its first home-town newspaper since 1953. A survey conducted in connection with a community development program revealed the citizens firmly believ ed that establishment of a newspaper was essential. A subcommittee headed by Mrs. James Odum found a capable, willing publisher in C. J. Broome, owner of The Alma Times and president of the Georgia Press Assn. Next, the subcommittee launched a campaign that signed up 750 subscribers. Thus was born the Hahira Times, edited by Linton Broome. Hahira now looks forward to its newspaper playing an important role in furthering the community improve ment program. The Constitution congratulates the citizens there for recognizing the value of a newspaper and wishes the Broome family well in the new venture. Forests Are Section's Best Resource, Rotary Club Told Forests are the greatest nat ural resource of this section of Georgia, Valene Bennett, promin ent businessman of Alma, told Blackshear Rotarians Tuesday in a talk before the local civic club. Mr. Bennett said the raising of pine trees as a crop and the es tablishment of industries allied with forestry offer great opport unities for the future of South east Georgia. Seventeen years ago, he said, there was only one pulp mill in Georgia, using only 1,000 cords of wood a year. Now there are a number of mills, using a total of about 3,000,000 cords of wood a year. Prices of wood have advanced during this period from $3.00 per cord to about $15.00 a cord, Mr. Bennett said. Pointing to the economic im portance of the pulp and paper industry, the Alma businessman said one man is required in the woods for each man employed in a pulp mill. The problem fac ing Georgia, he said, and particul arly this section, is increasing production of forest lands. Mr. Bennett said that business men in this section should not be discouraged because some decline in farm population has been shown in recent years. The trend toward larger farms, he told Ro tarians, would mean that the people left would be better farm ers, growing crops at a profit, and with a higher standard of living. Mr. Bennett is president of the Alma Exchange Bank, president of the Georgia Coastal Natural Gas Co/, and president of the Satilla REA, as well as having other farm and business intertsts. Guests at Tuesday’s Rotary meeting included E. H. Woodard, new owner of the Blackshear Super Market; Lee Broome, ed- itor of The Blackshear Times; and J. M. Kent of St. Simons, a Rotarian making up a meeting. Hoboken High School Basketball Schedule The basketball schedule of Ho boken High School has been an nounced as follows; Waycross, there, Jan. 18.

Vandiver for $3 Auto Tags ATLANTA — The Georgia General Assembly opened its 19- 58 session Monday and two is sues quickly took shape — cheap er automobile tags and a SSO mil ion hike in the rural roads pro gram. Lt. Gov. Ernest Vandiver, an unannounced candidate for gov ernor, proposed a $3 tag for auto mobiles and small trucks. Dur ing a brief opening session Mon day, Vandiver’s brother-in-law Rep. Robert Russell of Bartow county, submitted a bill to cut auto license fees. Meanwhile, in his “State of the State” message Tuesday, Gov. Marvin Griffin proposed a SSO million boost in the Rural Roads Authority program. The gover nor’s proposal was widely inter perted as a .move to aid the cand idacy of Roger Lawson, former State Highway Board chairman, for governor in the 1958 election. However, Griffin denied that he is backing a particular candidate for governor. Vandiver, on the other hand, has been against any increase in the borrowing power of the Roads Authority. Reaction from legislators to Griffin’s< road proposal was mix ed. State Senator Dorsey Dean of Alma, representating the 46th district which includes Pierce, said he liked what the governor hdd to say about “holding the line". But he said he couldn’t go along with Griffin at this time on the rural roads hike. “Let’s pay for some of this we’ve already got first,” Deen said. Dr. Charles H.

ONCE A “BEANIE” was simply the name of a special kind of hat. But the men constructing the Enrico Fermi power plant near Monroe, Michigan, have given the name “beanie” to the 35-ton steel dome of the building which will house the plant’s giant atomic reactor. The new atomic age will do more than simply add new words to our language. Atomic fuel promises a vast new source of energy to make electricity. That’s why the Georgia Power Com *pany is cooperating with 16 other power com panies and a group of manufacturers in building the Enrico Fermi plant. Today more than 100 investor-owned electric companies are participating in 15 atomic power projects. These pioneer plants are expected to have a generating capacity of more than 1^ million kilowatts. They will be constructed at a cost of well over S4OO million. The atom’s promise is being developed for you.
