$25,779.60 In Aid To Georgia Veterans
- NO WONDER THEY’RE HAPPY
Atlanta—Pete Wheeler, Director of the Georgia State Department of Veterans Service
and John M. Slaton, Jr., Regional Manager of the Veterans Administration, admire an
over-sized facsimile of the first check from the Federal Government for care and treat
ment of veterans at Milledgeville State Hospital. Arrival of this check for $25,779.60 cul

Blitch Backs
Survey Plan
For Satilla
Congresswoman Iris Biitch
disclosed today that she has un
dertaken negotiations with the
Army Corps of Engineers to sur
vey the Satilla River watershed
to determine the feasibility of
constructing retention dams.
“An investigation of the Satilla
River was authorized by the
Flood Control Act of 1950,” Mrs.
Blitch said, “for possible improve
ments for navigation, flood con
trol and other beneficial uses.
The investigative authority con
veyed by this Act includes that
necessary for study of surface
water problems of municipalities
and counties in the Satilla River
watershed.”
Mrs. Blitch stated that be
cause of the limited funds in re
cent years made available to the
Corps of Engineers for its general
investigations program, the in
vestigations must show that the
considered purposes are economi
cally justified.
“I have requested the Corps of
Engineers to recommend funds
necessary for the Satilla River
investigation in its budget for
Fiscal Year 1960”, Mrs. Blitch
said. “After all, the authority to
make the investigation was grant
ed eight years ago, and I feel
there is hope now that sufficient
economic justification will be
found to secure the Satilla River
survey if the Corps will recom
mend the necessary funds for the
study.”
White Blackberries
Coming Into Style
White briar-berries keep show
ing up in South Georgia.
Last week the Waycross Jour
nal-Herald contained a news item
that some white “blackberries”
had been found in Ware County.
Now comes Horace F. Aldridge
of Blackshear with a glass full
of White “blackberries” that
were picked in Appling county
on the farm of G. W. Waters,
who Mr. Aldridge visited recent
ly.
Thus far this has been an un
usual year.
We have had the coldest win
ter, the wettest spring, the hot
test summer, and the -whitest
“blackberries” in a long time.
What we need now is the
“bestest” price for the coming
tobacco marketing season in order
to take the long look off the
farmers face and replace it with
long green in the hip pocket.
