The demand on a national basis for Farmers Home Administra tion loans rose sharply and the volume of loans made by this a gency that serves only farmers unable to obtain credit elsewhere increased from $309 million in fiscal 1960 to an all time high of $396 million in fiscal 1961.

Roddenberry Says Electricity Relieves Farmers of Burdens By LAURIE LEE SPARROW The age of automation makes the future of rural electrification more significant in the lives of farm families Judge Cecil Rod denberry told .members of the Satilla REA in Waycross on the occasion of their annual meet ing Tuesday.

Goolsby at the Uni versity of Georgia College of Agriculture. the REA,’’ he said. The Judge of the Waycross Judicial Circuit said he felt that one of the greatest hopes of the United States rests on the farm er living on the land. “The farmer,” he said, “Is a property owner and a conser vative individual, and he is not apt to be swept off his feet by some new-fangled idea which probably has, as its final objec tive, the over-throw of our gov ernment.” The speaker referred also to the “logrolling pioneer enter prise” of South Georgia farmers in banding together in eight counties and working together successfully for 25 years in the Satilla REA co-op. He pointed out that where only three per cent of the farms had electricity in 1935, now nearly all farms have electricity.

He will resume writing these weekly reports from Washington when the Second Session of the 87th Congress convenes next January.) ANY ASSESSMENT of the First Session of the 87th Con gress must give at least as much weight to what it did not do as to what it did. Considering the plus side in that light, it refused to sur- | render the au thority of Con gress to appro priate funds for foreign aid and it turned down all pro posals for fed eral aid to ed ucation which Ji..,. I ’ would not have maintained sep aration of church and state or safeguarded state and local school systems from federal con trols. It also did not allow itself to be stampeded, at least for the time being, into passing further force bills in the field of civil rights. On the minus side it did not come to realistic grips with the overall farm problem by giv ing due consideration to com prehensive solutions proposed for it and it failed to balance the federal budget or put an end to deficit spending. THE SESSION did greatest credit to itself in acting swiftly and overwhelmingly to give the President the money and au thority he requested to build up the armed forces to meet the threat of Soviet aggression in Berlin and elsewhere around the world. In another laudable action it increased and expanded Social Security benefits to bring them more nearly in line with the in flated state of the national econ- (Kot prepared or printed at government expenseJ Keep up with the New* About Your Home County Subscribe for the Brantley Enterprise, $2.50 a Year, $3.00 Outside the County. (Plus Sales Tax) T. E. Raulerson was elected mayor of Nahunta in the city e lection held Wednesday, Oct. 4, winning over Rudolph Morgan by a vote of 181 to 93. Four aidermen also were elect ed in an eight-man contest. They were J. T. Morgan, Clayton Rig gins, Harry DePratter and George Dowling. DePratter and Morgan are on the present city council. The other two will be new on the next council which will take office the first Wednesday in De cember. The vote in the city election was as follows, according to num ber of votes for each candidate: FOR MAYOR T. E. Raulerson 181 Rudolph Morgan 93 FOR ALDERMEN J. T.

Here, she prepares for a sailing ven ture on Lake Oliver at Colum bus—one of 21 Georgia Power Company hydroelectric devel opments that provide pleasure for Georgians and out-of-state visitors throughout each year. omy and my greatest personal satisfaction came from the en actment of my bill authorizing a nationwide program for the eradication of hog cholera. All factors considered, the Session’s outcome was wholly satisfactory to no one. Depend ing upon one’s political point of view, its record was either too liberal or too reactionary. In balance it was just about what might have been expected, fol lowing as it did an election in which the new National Admin istration was chosen by a plu rality of only 112,213 votes. PERHAPS THE most disturb ing aspect of the Session is the further decline which it brought about in the stature of the Sen ate as an independent institution of representative government. Its repeated servile performance in unquestioningly voting Ad ministration dictates prompted one columnist to liken Senators to trained dogs. It is ironic indeed that the House of Representatives—the body against whose anticipated impetuousness the Senate was created as a buffer—increasing ly is having to assume the role of guardian of state and public interests in the Legislative Branch. The failure of the Sen ate to perform its assigned con stitutional function at this crit ical juncture in our national life should be a cause of concern to every citizen.
