HERRIN, Clerk 8-11 Brantley Got $54,711 Road Funds in Year Brantley County during the fis cal 1959.-60 received $54,711 from state highway taxes for use on county-maintained roads. Each fiscal year the State Treasury Department distributes approximately $9 million from its highway tax revenue (fuel taxes, license fees, etc.) among the counties for their use on county maintained roads.

Murray, forester, Agri cultural Extension Service, says any timber worth selling is worth measuring and marketing. You can’t make good sales unless you know how much of what you have to sell. Timber sales should be covered by a written contract to protect both the buyer and the seller, he adds. RONALD F. ADAMS Runs for Congress Ronald F. Adams Is Candidate For Congress I hereby announce my candi dacy for the office of Representa tive from the Eighth Congres sional District of Georgia, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Eighth District Execu tive Committee for the Septem ber 14th Primary. I entered this race and make this announcement because it is my earnest desire to serve the people of this Congressional Dis trict *in the manner I believe we are entitled to be served. I believe that every segment of the people of this District should have representation in the Halls of Congress, and not just the privileged few. I believe that the people of this Nation should be FIRST SERVED with our tax money. I am of the firm belief that every farmer should have a mini mum of three acres tobacco allot ment without reduction of acre age to anyone. I favor and will introduce legislation to provide an import tax on all farm products that come into this county in compe tition with the products raised on our farms, a law that will guarantee the farmer of our na tion a fair price on everything he raises. I believe that labor is entitled to its pay: I believe that all honest labor should have fair representation in Congress. I believe that both business and management should be operated with a minimum of Government regulation and interference. I believe in the Southern way of life and I am tired of the South being the Nation’s “whip ping boy,” and I intend to be heard in the Halls of Congress. I will actively support legis lation which will put legal re quirements on membership to the Supreme Court. I will work constantly to bring industry into our rural Eighth District counties to better bal ance our agricultural economy. I pledge you that I will not put my relatives on the payroll and I will employ only residents of the Eighth District in my Wash ington office. I pledge you fair, honest, sob er and diligent representation as YOUR CONGRESSMAN. If you believe as I believe, I will greatly appreciate your vote, your support and your influence in electing me YOUR CON GRESSMAN. RONALD F.

Highway 82 at Clough’s Curve after being struck at high speed by a drinking driver last Satur day morning. ROUTE 38 4-LANING TO SATILLA PLANNED “The most dangerous highway in this section” is ex pected to become Pierce county’s finest in the months that lie ahead, according to T. N. Harrison, Pierce county Commissioner chairman. Perry King, state head of the Federal Bureau of Public Roads informed Mr. Harrison Monday afternoon of this week that feder al approval was given on June 15, to survey and secure right-of-way for a 4-lane highway from just north of the Alabaha river bridge, through Blackshear and south to the Satilla river bridge. The plan calls for straighten ing curves, relocating and build ing new bridges, a 4-lane right of-way and road. The State Highway Department approved the plan in February, Mr. Harrison stated. This would mean that Clough’s curve, called “the most dangerous in this area” by State Patrol Sgt. G. L. Sims, would be eliminated and the narrow road approaches to the Alabaha river bridge and the dangerous bridge itself would be no more. Sheriff J. H. Pittman has stated that the Blackshear-Waycross highway is the most dangerous and the most difficult to patrol in this section. “The narrow road makes it al most impossible for a law en forcement officer to give chase to a speeding car,” the sheriff said. He pointed out that the heavy traffic .makes it difficult to get around traffic to give chase. “The condition of the road itself is not in our favor,” he said. Pierce county citizens have long expressed their concern a bout the road and since last Sat urday’s accident which took five lives several organizations have expressed their feelings to Jim L. Gillis, chairman of the State Highway Department. The Blackshear-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce sent the following telegram Tuesday morning: “Beg you to rush construction of new four-lane improvement on U. S. No. 82, through Pierce county to conclusion. Five people killed in accident Saturday morn ing. Letter follows." It was sign ed by Acting President R. W. Highsmith. Other telegrams have been sent by the Blackshear Lions Club, Blackshear Rotary Club, Black shear Woman’s Club, Patterson Lions Club, and Mayor Lee Broome on behalf of the City of Blackshear. The Woman’s Club telegram signed by Mrs. R. L. Scott Jr., president, read as follows: “Recent tragic accident which took five lives on Highway 38 in Pierce county points up urgent need to expedite plans for four laning this stretch Blackshear to Waycross eliminating several “death trap’’ curves and bridges. Your help in pushing forward this project will be appreciated.” Mr. Harrison was first told about the federal approval when he made a trip to Jesup Monday morning and talked with Sam Fain, chief engineer for the Bth district. Mr. Fain told him that approval had been given. Mr. Harrison talked with the state highway chairman by phone Monday afternoon and with Mr. King. The Federal Bureau of Public Roads official indicated that the work of surveying would start as soon as surveying money was available and the project could be scheduled. He told Mr. Harrison that the surveying and securing of right of-ways would probably take a year. The 4-lane project will cover a distance of 7.85 miles, Mr. Har rison said. While commenting on the road the chairman of Commissioners reported that the Latest traffic survey shows that 3.700 cars are traveling on the Blackshear-Way. cross highway every 24 hours. Sheriff Pittman said that he was satisfied that the traffic be tween the two towns was as heavy as on U. S. 1 or U. S. 301. He urged drivers to use extreme caution when traveling on it. Representative Bill Kimmons stated Tuesday that he had asked Mr. Fain to put this project on an emergency basis, and that he had asked A. J. Strickland, divi sion engineer, to put emergency signs at Clough’s curve until the new project eliminates that dan ger point. At the present time a small “S” sign and a small “Narrow Bridge” sign are at both ends of the curve. Boat and Motor Registration Is Explained Mallory Hatchett, chief of the Georgia State Game and Fish Commission, Waycross area, stat ed that there has been consider able misunderstanding about the new boat registration law. Mr. Hatchett said that any mo tor ten horsepower or under does not have to be registered with the Game and Fish Commission headquarters in Atlanta, but any thing over ten horsepower does have to be registered. The game and fish chief stated that only boats carrying a motor of ten or more horsepower have to be registered. Anyone wishing more informa tion concerning this law, may call the Waycross office of the Game and Fish Commission at AT 3- 6639. Application blanks may be ob tained from the office in Way cross or any of the Commission’s license dealers. ‘MISS GEORGIA’ OF 1960 Pay Boost Due Disabled Vets With Children Atlanta — A veteran with a 50 percent or greater service-con nected disability and more than 3 children is entitled to draw in creased payments under provi sions of a new law signed recent ly by the President. Pete Wheeler, director of the State Department of Veterans Service, said the added extra compensation depends on the vet aran’s percentage of disability and his total number of children ex ceeding three. Besides the four-or-more child ren requirement, a veteran must have a service-connected disabili ty of 50 per cent or greater in order to be eligible for the pay hike, Wheeler stated. Up until now, a veteran with a service-connected disability of 50 percent! or more could get ad ditional compensation for a wife, dependent parents and up to 3 children. The prior law did not authorize payment for more than 3 children. Veterans with less than 50 per cent disabilities receive no addi tional compensation for a wife, parents or children. In cases where the disability was due to peacetime service, the rates will be 80 percent of the amount payable for wartime disa bility. The term “children” includes all sons and daughters, real or legally adopted, under age 18 and unmarried. Those who become in capable of self-support through mental or physical causes before 18 will still be considered “child ren” anytime until marriage. Any office of the Department of Veterans Service will be glad to advise and assist veterans a bout pensions and any other benefits.
