Boy Scouts to
Campaign with
In order to take its place as
the recognized leader of all na
tions that want to live in peace,
the United States “must main
tain a high caliber of participat
ing citizenship, today and tomor
row,’’ says Dr. Arthur A. Schuck,
Chief'Scout Executive of the Boy
Scouts of America.
In his message to the Okefeno
kee Area Council of the organi
zation, whose headquarters are
at Waycross, Dr. Schuck said.
“How well the young men of
tomorrow will meet the challenge
of the times will depend upon
the training they receive today.
The Boy Scouts of America is
eager to do its part to meet that
need.”
The Okefenokee Area Council
will open its finance campaign
in non-united fund areas on Oct.
7 for extending Scouting in this
area with a supper Oct. 6 at 7:00
p.m. to be held at the Gold House
Restaurant, it is announced by J.
W. Brooker who is Community
Chairman of the campaign. Mr.
Brooker said that in the united
fund areas Scout leaders are
working in those campaigns.
“We are proud of the progress
that has been made in all phases
of our work,” Dr. Schuck wrote.
“To know that our membership
has reached 4,700,000 boys and
leaders is most reassuring. We
.must, however, continue to enroll
more boys in our program and
must recruit more men and wo
men as leaders of units to meet
the challenge of our increasing
population.”
Commenting on the organiza
tion’s Four-Year Program, “On
ward for God and My Country,”
lauhched in 1956, he declared,
“Our men of tomorrow must be
prepared in body — prepared in
spirit — prepared in will — pre
pared as members of a team.”
“Our program theme denotes
an ‘onward’ movement,” Dr.
Schuck wrote. “Progress in the
fulfillment of our destiny is not
a static condition. Instead it is
a forward-looking, forward-mar
ching citizenship, directed to
the fulfillment of God’s wishes
and the maintenance of our na
tion — strong and free.”
The Chief Scout Executive ex
pressed appreciation “to the Cub
masters, Den Mothers, Scoutmas
ters, Explorer Advisors, commis
sioners and their associates, men
and women who are rendering
such fine service for the boy
hood of America.”
He said their work is a great
public service and he feels that
the American people have a high
regard for the work they are do
ing.
A good motto — “trade at
home.”

further announced. The ballots
will be mailed to eligible Brant

Mr. Dykes said that farmers
will vote for 5 from a slate of

another self-addressed, enclosed

Election Tabulation Board. The
Regulations prohibit anyone from
serving on the County or Com
munity Committee who, during
the calendar year has been a

body, or during the current calen
dar year has held a Federal,
State, or County Office filled by
an election held pursuant to law.
Committeemen elected by eligi
ble farmers will have the res
ponsibilities for the administra
tion of various ASC activities,
which include the Soil Bank Pro
gram, Agricultural Conservation
Program, Price Support Program,
Allotment and Marketing Quota

With so many responsibilities
being placed on our County ASC
Committeemen, it is urged that
all voters in this year’s elections
carefully consider and vote for
the best qualified nominees for
the committee membership, Mr.
Dykes stated.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA
The Homemaking Program in
The Public Schools of Today
By MRS. H. W. HERRIN
Homemaking should be the
most important activity of all
peoples of all lands. The home is
the background of every nation,
whatever kind it may be. The
shack in the sawmill town, the
miner’s cottage, the farm house
in Brantley County, the city
apartment, the trailer along 301,
each is home to someone. Making
the home a happy and comfort
able place to live is an art and
science.
The first teaching of home ec
onomics began about 1890. Em
phasis was placed on learning
the skills of preparing food, mak
ing clothing, and caring for the
house. A second period of deve j
lopment came about 1920 when
the Government allocated funds
for vocational education, includ
ing high school, part-time, and
adult classes.
The home economics program
in our schools has been broaden
ed greatly. Today it includes per
sonality growth, family relation
ships, child growth and develop
ment, money management, home
management, home hygiene,
clothing, housing, and home nurs
ing.
Home economics has many val
ues. It aids in solving home life
problems. It deals with science
art, social science, psychology
and mathematics. It gives stu
dents personal instruction in how
to dress becomingly, eat better,
care for homes, and live happily
with their families. Emphasis is
placed on such skills as cooking
sewing, wise purchasing habits,
care of children, budgeting of
time, .money, and energy, getting
along with people, and taking an
active part in social and civic'
affairs.
Home economics offers much in
personality development. It helps
to develop poise and self confi
dence. Knowing how to order
food in a restaurant and how to
dress attractively gives a per
son self assurance. Knowledge of
good manners helps students to
feel at ease.
Most people need to feel that
they can do a good job at some
thing. Homemaking is the ideal
place for this. With such a va
rity of things to be done, most
girls find it worth while and
satisfying to learn to cook, to
plan, prepare and serve meals
artistically, or to learn interior
decorating or dress designing.

THE BEST THING that can be
said about the farm bill passed by
the Senate is that it is better than
no bill at all.
y chance of being
passed and signed into law this
Session. Unless it is enacted, the
expiration of the present legis
lative floor under cotton acreage
will cut the national cotton acre
age allotment for next year from
17.6 to 14.2 million acres and rob
the small cotton farmer of his
minimum acreage protection. That
would mean a 19.3 per cent across
the-board acreage cut for all cot
ton farmers and would put most
of the small, family-size operators
out of business.
SO FAR AS Georgia farmers
are concerned, the two redeeming
features of the bill are those pro
visions which I, as a member of
the Committee, insisted be written
into it. One guarantees that no
cotton farmer with a present allot
ment of 10 or less acres will have
his acreage reduced. The other
prohibits the transfer of allotted
cotton acreage from any county so
long as any farmer in the county
desires additional acreage.
In Committee I fought for a
15-acre freeze which would have
protected the present acreage of
87.3 per cent of the cotton farmers
of Georgia, but the majority would
not go along with more than a 10-
acre minimum. {That minimum,

furnished and skillfully managed
and still be an unpleasant place
to live. Home economics stresses
family cooperation. Each .member
of the family should have a clear
ly recognized place in the family,
and should share the family work.
Children should help make fajni
ly decisions, add to and save
family funds, and do some of the
work of the home. Parents are
guilty of trying to make life too
easy for children and refuse to
realize that they are growing up
and need to share responsibilities
that will help them to become
mature adults.
In this satellite age we need
to clarify the role of youth. Teen
age marriages are thrusting youth
into roles that they are not pre
pared to accept. A seventeen year
old bride may be a housewife,
but she is not considered by soc
iety to be a legitimate adult. A
seventeen year old boy may have
the responsibility of a home, yet
not be expected to be adult
enough to vote or carry a rifle.
The homemaking curriculum of
the schools today should include
courses that help boys and girls
to meet the challenge of complex
living today. There should be a
feeling of closeness between the
school and the community, since
the responsibility of the school
does not end with a diploma. As
long as the person is in the com
munity the school, in a measure,
is responsible to him.

• • •
THE BILL CUTS the national
cotton acreage allotment for the
next two years to 16.3 million
acres, but provides that farmers
accepting support at 15 per cent
under the established figure can
increase their acreage by 40 per
cent. It carries forward the dis
astrous Benson sliding parity
formula and, without my provisos,
would have been weighted entirely
in favor of the big corporation
farms of the Mississippi Delta and
the Far West.
For me a realistic choice be
tween flexible supports with a 19.3
per cent acreage cut and no min
imum acreage protection and flex
ible supports with an 8.1 per cent
acreage cut and a guarantee
against any reduction for farmers
with allotments of 10' or less acres
afforded no alternative but the
latter. However, in accepting and
supporting this compromise as the
lesser of two evils, I am not re
laxing my efforts in seeking enact
ment of my own plan of free
enterprise farming bolstered by a
system of compensatory payments
or in sponsoring amendments to
the existing law to improve the
status of the farmers of Georgia
and the Southeast.
Rather it is my hope that,
thwugh the guarantees which I
insisted go into the compromise
bill, our small farmers will be
enabled to keep their heads above
the water until a bold, new farm
program can be passed to restore
them to their rightful place in the
nation's economy.
