VOLUME 38 — NUMBER 12 Brantley County Libraries Aid Progress of Education By MARY LOU GIBSON Brantley County has made great progress in education as has been proved by her growth in various fields. In comparison to much older counties, her pro gress has ben astounding. She boasts of citizens who can see and continue to work to fill her many needs, and help her to continue to work to progress. One field of growth has been in the interest of her libraries. All of the libraries in Brantley County have grown in materials, buildings, and personnel. This speaks for interest. It is amaz ing to think of how approxi mately 28 years ago there was only one set of encyclopedias and very few books in the Na hunta High School Library. This set was given the school by the P. T. A.; and the few other books were gifts by various individuals. Today the library is housed in a lovely new building with a seating capacity of fifty. It em ploys a full time librarian, who has thirten Junior Librarians who assist in giving efficient service to the teachers and many students who use it. The library boasts of approxi mately 2500 books of which there are 1000 fiction, 288 reference books, including five sets of en cyclopedias, 200 biography and 1200 non-fiction. There are 37 magazines and two daily newspapers plus the county weekly paper. A four-way catalog system is used and film service to class rooms is render ed. One of the greatest assets is the Bookmobile service given by the Brunswick Regional Library There is an exchange of approxi mately 250 books every six weeks which gives the student an op portunity to enjoy new, or dif ferent, reading material through out the school term. Because of a much better Gram mar School Library and lib rary-conscious teachers there, the children enter high school anx ious to get into the “big” library and browse. The high school personel is anxious for our citizens to visit the library. It takes seeing it to believe the progress that has been made. The library alone tells that teachers, parents and school officials agree with Thomas Car lyle when he said, “All that man kind has done, thought, gained or been it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books. They are the chosen pos session of men.” To be able to turn out well rounded individuals, many books have to be used. Please help celebrate National Library Week this week by vis iting your library and enjoying the many books and services. i TALMADGE ■ ■ ■ *■’vutil ■ io torts From H/NGrONaK MUCH INTEREST EAS been evidenced in a bill pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee which would go a long way toward curbing the efforts of the Supreme Court to usurp the power of Con gress to make the laws of the land. Bl £ ■ types of cases involving national security. It has its basis in Article HI, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the United States which provides that the Supreme Court’s, appellate jurisdiction shall be exercised “with such exceptions and under such regulations as Con gress shall make.” * • • THIS BILL WOULD take away from the Court the power to rule on cases involving the jurisdiction of Congresssional Committees to investigate subversive activities, the power of federal agencies to discharge employees considered to be security risks, the enforcement of state laws on subversion and sedition, the right of school boards to fire teachers suspected of Com munist leanings or affiliations and the authority of state boards of bar examiners to refuse to license known or suspected Communists. Sentiment for such legislation is growing in Congress and there is • good ehance that the Jenner Bill (ait frtparti ar pnaUi al foaarataaal taptntt) Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Dollie Mae Warren Wins Spelling Bee Prize of $25 Bond The Brantley County Spelling Bee, sponsored each year in Geor gia by the Atlanta Journal, was held in Superintendent H. W. Herrin’s office on Tuesday morn inng, March 18, at eleven o’clock. One entry from each school participated. The contestants were Jo Ann Gunter, of Hoboken, Brenda Morgan, of Nahunta, El ementary School, Johnnie Faye Eldridge, of Hortense School and Dollie Mae Warren, of Nahunta High School. Dollie Mae Warren of Nahun ta was the winner. She spelled 95 of the one hundred words cor rectly. She was the Eighth Dis trict winner last year and par ticipated in the State Spelling Bee in Atlanta. Her prize for winning in the county will be a $25 Savings bond. She will represent Brant ley County in the district Spell ing Bee in Waycross on April 14. Dollie Mae is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos B. Warren of Route 1 Nahunta. Methodist Revival Will Start Sunday The Nahunta Methodist Church will begin a revival meeting Sun day, March 23. Rev.

Pittman Infants Funeral Service Held Monday JESUP, Ga — The.infant son and daughter of Alex M. and Lu cile Morgan Pittman died March 16. Funeral services were held at the graveside in Screven Cem etery Monday at 3 p. m. with the Rev. Barnett Ates officiat ing. In addition to their parents they are survived by one sister, Susan Pittman of Jesup; mater nal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Morgan of Nahunta. may get before the Senate for de bate before the end of the present Session. There also is an increas ing demand for Congressional action this Session to reverse the Supreme Court ruling that sus pected law violators cannot be questioned prior to formal arraign ment which has had the effect of handcuffing law enforcement agen cies in seeking confessions and has been reflected in the worsening wave of racial lawlessness in the District of Columbia. • • • THE ONLY OBJECTION to the Jenner Bill is that it does not go far enough. Although it was writ ten for the specific purpose of circumventing the Court’s recent decisions affording judicial refuge for Communist conspirators, South ern Senators and Congressmen would like to see it broadened to remove also Supreme Court juris diction in cases involving the ad ministration of public school systems by the states and their political subdivisions. My bill to that effect also is pending before the Judiciary Committee. It is certain that only through the enactment of such clearly constitutional measures will the Supreme Court ever be put back into its appointed constitutional role of ruling on what the law is rather than its presently-usurped role of attempting to dictate what its members think the law ought to be. The measure, sponsored by Senator Wil liam E. Jenner of Indiana, would remove the jurisdiction of the Court to consider ap peals on five ißranttey Enterprise MRS.

GRAY AYDELOTT No two farms in Brantley county are identical as to the slope, kind of soil, degree of ero sion or water relationship. For this reason farmers cannot ope rate their farms exactly alike and get the same returns. Almost every person that owns or operates a farm has a plan. It may be a one crop or it may be a well balanced plan that meets the need for the entire farm. No person can have an adequate farm plan unless he knows what his farm is capable of producing under different systems of man agement. To do this one must first know something about his soil, its hazards, its limitations, its productive capacity and its management requirements. The Soil Conservation Service in cooperation with Soil Conser vation Districts has developed a program which starts with a Scientific analysis of the land. This program helps the farmer adopt his operations to fit the nat ural requirements of every acre of his land by giving him on the-farm assistance. The Soil Conservation Service produces a coordinated soil con servation program which solves the land and water problems pe culiar to each farm when prop erly applied. The complete farm conservat ion plan is developed with tech nical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service but is con trolled by the farmer himself, The plan is designed for that particular farm and is not com pulsory. It will boost farm in come an average of $5.00 or more per acre annually. Any farmer is given technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service free of charge. If you have not already done so, why not contact your local work unit conservationist. He will be more than glad to assist you in getting a sound, economical farming program underway on your farm.

(Plus Sales Tax) ATLANTA, Ga., Mar. 15 — Over $3,380,000 a week is added to the economy of Georgia through wood purchases, payroll, forestry expenditures and freight costs. Figures on how the pulp and paper industry benefits the South, based upon the first comprehen sive survey of all paper mills in Dixie, were released here today at the annual meeting of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association. Delegations from Georgia and 10 othre states, including mill of ficials, foresters and pulpwood dealers are meeting for two days. They will consider improved tree growing practices and methods of providing additional assistance to farmers and other landowners who own most of the commercial forest land in the South. “In just 25 years the pulp and paper industry has grown into the most far-reaching economic force in the region,’’ declared H. J. Malsberger, general manager of the Association. “Trees are grown on more farms than any other crop and the pulp and paper sur vey reveals the industry is con tributing more than a million dollars daily to the economy of the South." The value of pulpwood produc ed throughout Georgia exceeds the payroll of the nine pulp and paper mills in the state, accord ing to the southwide survey. Wood costs total $77,772,000 an nually, compared to a mill pay roll total of $351,305,800 while wood costs exceed $405,000,000 annually. The pulp and paper industry provides a total of 11,676 jobs in Georgia of which 10,769 are at the nine mills and the remain inng 907 are in the company owned forests.
