The Largest Flash Picture!
Egypt’s Sphinx and 5,000-year-old Pyramid of Cheops, one
of the seven wonders of the world, make for a great photograph
anytime. In combination with the momentary illumination made
by 6,500 flashbulbs and the talents of an internationally famous
photo-journalist, a photograph of the Sphinx and Pyramid con
stitutes not only a great photograph, but the largest flash picture
in the history of photography. ________________—
This is how and why it was
done.
The photograph, made with
the cooperation of the Govern
ment of the United Arab Re
public, was sponsored by Syl
vania Electric Products Inc. to
publicize its flashbulbs. Sylva
nia spent SIB,OOO on the photo
graph.
This single night color shot of
the ancient wonder climaxed a
full month of Pyramid-scaling
preparations by Sylvania engi
neers and Egyptian technicians.
Getting the proper reflection
was accomplished by placing
foil plates behind the flashbulbs
which were mounted on four
foot stakes and placed at inter
vals of 20 feet between the
sandstone holders. Four thou
sand bulbs were used on the
Pyramid alone; the balance,
2,500, were used to illuminate

Value of Pulpwood
Produced in State
Increased Last Year
ATLANTA, — The value of
pulpwood produced in Georgia
totaled $81,860 000 in 1958 —an
increase of six percent over
1957 — according to the Southern
Pulpwood Conservation Associa
tion, Atlanta.
This value was based on a 12-
state pulpwood production sur
vey by the U. S. Forest Service
Experiment Stations in Asheville,
N. C., and New Orleans, La., in
cooperation with SPCA, Atlanta.
A total of 158 of Georgia’s 159
counties shared in this income,
with Ware, Camden and Wayne
Counties leading in this harvest
of the tree crop. Each one of
these three counties produced
in excess of 100,000 cords of pulp
wood in 1958.
For the South as a whole,
purchases of pulpwood totaled
$404,660,000, with practically all
forested counties from Virginia
through Texas participating.
The survey revealed that more
than 16 percent of the total re
gional production of pulpwood
was hardwood.
The survey also showed a con
tinued trend toward wore effi
cient utilization of all trees har
vested. An all-time high of nine
percent of the regional total pro
duction of pine and hardwood
came from slabs and veneer cores,
for which the pulp and paper
industry provided a market.

Parrakeet Found
By Advertisement
In Enterprise
By J. A. McMillen
A long-shot paid off for James
A. McMillen of Lantana, Florida,
who lost a pet parrakeet while
passing through Nahunta last
June on his way to work at a
children’s camp near Asheville.
Mr. McMillen didn’t miss his
pet of six years until he was up
near Statesborough, so he back
tracked to Nahunta, recalling that
he had eaten lunch here.
The Florida resident placed an
“ad” in the BRANTLEY ENTER
PRISE, offering a reward for the
bird which had escaped when the
cage door flew open in traffic.
Annie Ruth Johns, on Route
one, is the lucky girl who gets
the $25 reward as “Widget” the
parrakeet, came to her house last
spring after he had escaped. An
nie has been keeping the escapee
and Mr. McMillen picked him up
Thursday on his way back to
Florida where he works in the
Lantana schools.

THERE ARE SOUND argu
ments which can be made both
for and against the forthcoming
visit to this country by Russian
Premier Khrushchev.
Since the
Soviet leader
has demon
strated that he
is not well in
formed about
the United
States and the
freedom, pros
perity, deter-
mination and strength of the
American people, it should be to
our definite advantage for him
to have a full opportunity to ob
serve every facet of American life
with his own eyes. On the other
hand, the fact that the Chief Ex
ecutive of our country is having
the Communist dictator as his
official guest likely will have the
decided disadvantage of discour
aging the uncommitted nations
whose support we have courted
and of demoralizing the enslaved
satellite nations whose resistance
to Soviet domination we have
encouraged. Only time can tell
which factor will outweigh the
other.
THE GREATEST immediate
danger attendant to the visit lies
in assuring Mr. Khrushchev’s per
sonal safety while he is in this
country. There are hundreds of
thousands of persons in the
United States, particularly refu
gees who have been driven from
their homelands by Soviet aggres
sion, who would gladly give their
lives to kill him. The situa
tion is one which poses a security
problem without parallel because
should the Russian Premiei be as
saulted, shot or assassinated while
here there would be grave inter
national complications indeed.
Another problem is posed by the
fact that it is a customary cour
tesy to invite visiting foreign offi
cials to address joint sessions of

Youth Jailed
On Charge
Os Burglary
A burglary that occurred in
Nahunta Saturday, April 25, has
been solved by the persistence of
sheriff J. Walter Crews and Geor
gia Bureau of Investigation offi
cers.
A teen-age boy has been placed
in jail under bond for the burg
lary of the St. Illa Restaurant
last April 25, when about S6OO
was stolen from the restaurant.
The teen-age boy is also charg
ed with larceny of about S4BO
from Blackshear Manufacturing
Company in Nahunta.
The boy has been placed under
a total of $6,000 bond. He has
confessed to both the charges,
according to sheriff J. Walter
Crews.
The case was solved after
months of effort on the part of
the sheriff and other officers.
Lead after lead was followed un
til the case cracked wide open
by the confession of the teen
age youngster.
(Georgia law forbids publish
ing the names of teen-agers ac

Win Honors at

Brantley County received dou

took first place in the party dress
division of the State Home Dem

Nolan Davis, Jr. of Hoboken was
installed as second vice-president
of the State Home Demonstration

Mrs. Robinson competed a
gainst other County winners in

eyelet-embroidery, fashioned
with a bloused bodice, kimono
sleeves, slim skirt with pleats
on either side, and featuring a
bateau neckline.
Her accessories were chosen to

Congress. Happily, it has been
pretty generally agreed that that
dilemma will be resolved by the
adjournment of Congress in ad
vance of the September 15 arrival
date. If that turns out to be the
case, we of the South will, at
least, reap an indirect advantage
from the visit inasmuch as it will
put time on the side of Southern
Senators and Congressmen in op
posing the enactment of punitive
force legislation in the field of
civil rights.

WHILE IT GOES without say
ing that it is impossible to arrive
at any meaningful agreement
with conscienceless leaders of a
godless nation which boasts of
violating agreements whenever it
is expedient for it to do so, in
this era of cold war which could
turn hot at any time there is
nothing to be lost by talking. The
alternatives are either to capitu
late or to fight—the former being
unthinkable and the latter too
horrible to contemplate short of
an absolute matter of survival.
One would have to be naive in
the extreme to expect the visit to
have any effect upon the undevi
ating Russian objective of total
conquest of the world to Commu
nism and only a complete idiot
would view it as a reason to relax
our guard. The most for whicn
we can hope is that the first
hand impressions gained by Mr.
Khrushchev of the will and ca
pacity of the American people
to resist all efforts to conquer
or subvert them will give him and
his cohorts in the Kremlin cause
to stop and think before embark
ing upon any provocative adven
ture which could plunge the world
into a catastrophic conflict which
could destroy both nations and
civilization with them.
