Budget officials are estimating the deficit for the current fiscal year at $lO to sl2 billion and Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia predicts an $8 to $lO billion imbalance for fiscal 1960. Revenues, on the other hand, are expected to remain at about the present level or, if in creased, to be offset by further inflation. • • • THE SITUATION IS the prod uct of anti-recession spending pro grams initiated by Congress earlier this year, increased outlays for missiles and national defense and decreased federal income, partic ularly from corporation income taxes. It has its roots, however, in the irresponsible fiscal policies which this nation has pursued for the last quarter of a century— policies which' have kept the fed eral budget out of balance for all but five years since 1932 and which have cut the value of the American dollar by more than half since 1939. To meet this latest resort to deficit financing the Administra tion requested an increase in the national debt limit from S2BO to S2BB billion and it is estimated that the interest on this debt alone (no! prepared ar printed Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. R & R Motel Fire Causes Big Damage Nahunta Fire Department was called to R and R Motel on Tues day afternoon about four o’clock to aid in putting out a fire that caused seven to eight thousand dollars damage to the motel own ed by Hubert Rozier. The motel is located at Winokur on highway 301. The Folkston Fire Depart ment was also called. Sidney Hulett was overcome by smoke. State Patrolmen who were present gave him manual resusti tation and the resusitator owned by the Nahunta Fire Department was used on him. Clinton Robin son is Chief of the Nahunta Fire Department. He stated that after water from Nahunta and Folks ton trucks were used up Nahun ta pumped water from a pond on opposite side of the highway, in to the Folkston truck which con tinued to put out water until the blaze was out. Mr. Robinson stated that it was thought the fire broke out in the furnace room of the motel. Five units were practically ruined. The Nahunta Fire Department was called on Sunday to help put out fire of an automobile on High way 84 at the signal lights in Nahunta. The car from Jackson ville pulled in to the Nahunta Parts Service Station on fire. The Service station attendants used both fire extinguishers and water and soon put out the fire. Mr. Clinton Robison announces that a meeting of the Fire De partment will be held Friday night, 7:30 P. m. and urges the people of the city to attend. He states the need of more people to help in the fire deparment. Free Bicolor Plants Available to Farmers Ranger A. M. Rowell of Nahun ta has announced that free bi color plants are available to farmers in this area from the State Game and Fish Commis sion. Farmers wishing to receive plants are asked to send their names and addresses to Mr. Rowell at Nahunta, Post Office Box 36, Phone HO 2-2230, or the State Game and Fish Com mission office in Waycross. They should also state the size of their farm and the number of plants wanted, from 1,000 to 20,- 000. will run to $7.7 billion this year, an increase from $3.6 billion in 1945. The significance of this to the taxpayer is that it forecloses the possibility of any immediate general tax relief and serves to. spur the cost-of-living spiral to new heights. The recently announced increase in the price of steel is the harbinger of economic things to come. Preliminary figures released by the Treasury Department show the Fed eral Icvern ment spent nearly $3 bil lion more than it took in dur- THE INCREASING difficulty of managing the federal debt was graphically illustrated last month when the Treasury Department, in attempting to refinance $9.5 billion of the debt, had to buy up S6OO million worth of its own bonds in order to sustain the market. In that light the necessity of refin ancing another $45 billion of the debt by next July is a disturbing prospect. ..... . Governments, like individuals and businesses, cannot live outside their incomes without eventually bankrupting themselves and the American people sooner or later will have to face up to the fact that the United States cannot have a stable economy or a sound cur rency so long as its national B°^- ernment increases the public debt through continued indulgence in deficit financing. The future course of the nation is dependent upon a proper choice between ever-expanding govern mental programs and the restora tion of reason to ifederal spending and taxing policies. Only through the latter coursd will it ever be possible to halt inflation, stay the rising cost of living, protect the savings, investments and retire ment programs of the people and preserve our free enterprise system. at pevemment aspenee) Brantku Btfrrprw The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, October 9, 1958 Bookmobile Schedule Is Announced for Brantley County The Bookmobile schedule of the Brunswick Regional Library has been announced as follows for Brantley County: Monday, October 20, Hortense, Hoboken.

Essay Contest Stirs Interest In Soil Program By JAMES A. ROSS Work Unit Conservationist Brantley County The annual essay contest has played a very important part in speeding up soil and water con servation activities in Brantley county. It has reminded our farmers of our forefathers and what they did and the need for soil and water conservation to day. Not many /ears, ago the sub ject, “Soil and Water Conserva tion”, was never discussed. There was plenty of land and timber. People could always find a new farm and a new forest with plen ty of good timber and they also had plenty of grazing land along with the forest. Today, the story has changed. We do not have any more land but a great many times the num ber of people to feed, clothe and shelter. The need for soil and water con servation is very necessary today to continue to feed, clothe and shelter our present and future generations. Leaders of our great nation have seen the need for soil and water conservation; therefore, they feel that it should be taught in the public schools, by encour aging the younger generation to conserve these natural resources, we are able to get the needed soil and water conservation pro gram to more people. The teachers and students in the Brantley county schools have shown more and more interest each year in our Annual essay contest. Each year there have been three county prizes. There also has been a district prize, which was won last year by Sondra Ammons of Hoboken.

Wildlife Conservation Gets Boost from Game-Fish Unit The Waycross Game and Fish Commission office is making bi-color lespedeza plants and other quail feed plantings available to Pierce county farmers this year through the local Soil Conservation Service office. Farmers are being urged to take advantage of the offer and apply for these package plant ings at ah early date. These wildlife planting pack ages are designed to furnish ade quate food and cover for a covey of quail the year around. An old abandoned garden or tobacco bed makes one of the best sites for a wildlife planting, according, to Theodore Frisbie, Pierce county work unit conser vationist. Well-drained field borders ad jacent to woodland make excel lent areas for establishing wild- Cover-to-Cover Readers' From the Belmont, Ohio, Chronicle: “A strong voice of approval for advertising in weekly newspapers spoke out recently at a Milwaukee Press As sociation meeting. “According to a front page article in The Publisher’s Auxiliary, Alan R. McGinnis, chairman of the board of a Milwaukee advertising agency, stated: “It is my opin ion, although not officially documented, that subscribers of weekly newspapers will come closer to being cover-to cover readers than any other print medium available . . . “I don’t subscribe to the thought that the way to get maximum return on the client dollar is necessarily that of buying as much circulation as possible.’ “Along with the obvious advantage of reasonable column rates, is the fact that a full-page ad in a weekly will hit the reader’s eye like a rocket burst and he will remember that advertiser’s name and product because it is not buried in forty or fifty pages of newspaper.” The Satilla River Soil Conservation District . By ROBLEY N. JOBE, Area Conservationist U. S. D. A., Soil Conservation Service 1 The Satilla River Soil Conservation District was or ganized on April 15, 1942. The original area was compos ed of Ware and Brantley Counties. Counties added to the District in 1944 were Wayne, Pierce, Atkinson, Glynn, Camden, and Charlton counties. History will tell us about a group of people back in the early forties who had foresight enough to cause people to band together for a common cause; public spirited enough to work and plan without pay; Democratic enough to believe that leadership of the people down on the land was needed to tell our State and National Governments what was needed. Yes. the Satilla River Soil Conservation District, with the leadership of soil conservation district supervisors, elected by the people, are doing a great job. They need the support not only of every landowner but they need the support of bankers, civic leaders, schools, business men and churches. This job of soil and water conserva tion and sound land use is the second most important job on our nation’s agenda, being second only to soul conser vation. The Satilla River Conservation District has establish ed a wonderful record since 1942. The District, with the technical aid of the Soil Conservation Service and other agencies, has tackled the district’s soil and water con servation problems on a scientific approach based on the capabilities of the land. Hundreds of landowners, both large and small, throughout the district have tried out this approach and have proof on their farms that using the land according to its capabilities is the only basis for a permanent and progressive agriculture.

Mr. Frisbie says that over 100 such areas have been established in Pierce county during the past 14 years but have deteriorated due to lack of proper mainten ance. In many instances, they have been completely destroyed by fire or grazing. The Georgia Game and Fish Commission has furnished fish to stock about 40 Pierce county farm ponds from state-owned fish hatcheries during the past 10 years.

Route 84 Is in Bad Shape Says Waycross Newspaper U. S. Highway 84, the route from Waycross to Bruns wick and Jekyll Island, should be placed high on the list of highways to be reconditioned. Not many years ago this was considered the best of the major routes coming into Waycross. But today it is perhaps the worst. Today, more than ever before, this is a key highway for Georgians and for visitors from all parts of the nation who visit the Golden Isles and the ^tate-owned Jekyll playground. Only this week the Journal - Herald reported ambitious plans for the continued development of Jekyll. The con struction of new’ motels and other facilities is certain to in^ crease the flow of traffic along U. S. 84 and other routes leading to the island. Washboard pavement and the generally poor condition of the highway make traveling both hazardous and un pleasant. Many residents of Hoboken and Nahunta have pledged their cooperation w’ith Waycross in a movement to bring about improvements along the highway to the coast. Superior Court Judge Cecil Roddenberry has stated that he wil work with interested groups in urging state highway officials to give consideration to the heavily traveled route. , It is the opinion of most observers that the highway should be resurfaced from Waycross to the junction with U. S. Highway 17 near Brunswick and Jekyll Island. Certainly Georgia’s plans for the development of Jekyll and the entire Coastal Empire section must be linked to the highways, the arteries of commerce. Routes like U. S. Highway 84 must be improved if we are to draw the tourist trade and secure new industries in the days to come. Keep up with the News About Your Home County.
