VOLUME 41 — NUMBER 47 'Old Rugged Cross' Is Still Favorite Hymn in the Nation “The Old Rugged Cross" still is America’s favorite hymn. More than 61,000 newspaper readers from coast to coast vot ed in the recent National News paper Hymn Poll and 10,482 of them chose "The Old Rugged Cross," .a vivid hymn which des cribes the traditional meaning of the Cross, as their dearest relig ious song. Bill McVey, the Christian Her ald Gospel Singer, who directed the survey to determine the hymns America loves best, and Audience Analysts, Inc., Bala- Cynwyd, Pa., the independent re seach organization which tabulat ed votes from readers of more than 1,000 newspapers, reported that “How Great Thou Art” was a close second to “The Old Rugged Cross.” “How Great Thou Art,” a dyn amic gospel song describing God’s omnipotence, received 8,449 votes. Audience Analysts said this large vote doubtless was due to the song’s popularity at hymn sings across the country. “How Great Thou Art,” a favorite se lection of baritone McVey and Billy Graham, was fourth in last year’s Christian Herald hymn poll and McVey attributed part of its current popularity to its moving evangelistic feeling and strong melody. Third National Favorite The third favorite hymn dis closed by the National Newspap ers Hymn Poll was "What A Friend We Have in Jesus,” a song which has earned a place in A mericans’ hearts by its warm ex pression of faith held by Pro testants of every denomination, McVey said. McVey, who has sung all the top 50 hymns at Christian Herald Community Hymn Sings across the country, reported that “In the Garden,” a hymn which tells of God’s compassion and guidance, received 3,868 votes for fourth place in the National Newspapers Hymn Poll and was especially preferred in the Midwest. The Christian Herald Singer noted the rise in acceptance of “Amazing Grace” among Ameri can churchgoers. This gospel song, which relates how faith provides confidence, moved from ninth place in the 1960 Christian Her ald hymn poll to fifth place with 1.816 votes in the National News papers Hymn Poll. The sixth favorite hymn of the 61,445 Americans who voted was “Rock of Ages,” a religious song which describes man’s confidence in God. “Rock of Ages,” seven h in McVey’s Christian Herald poll, received 1,511 votes in the July- October National Newspapers Hymn Poll. The next four favorites were. “Sweet Hour of Prayer”, 1,157 votes; “Abide With Me .112 votes; “Beyond the Sunset 1,050 votes; and, “Whispering Hope, 741 votes. .

Wilson Brantley Enterprise Postmaster Gives Suggestions on Mailing Parcels Here are a few suggestions from Postmaster Parker Dodge and all employees of the Nahun ta Post Office that will tend to assure early and safe delivery of your Christmas mail. Wrap your parcels well and see that address and return are securely attached to package as well as duplicates inside the package. This will enable the post office to deliver or return package in case label becomes illegible. Consult your post office for details on preparation of overseas mail as the regulations vary as to APO address. Cards bearing first class post age. (4c) will receive the'best service, being forwarded or re turned if undeliverable as ad dressed. Those mailed under the third class rate, unsealed (3c) with no writing other than name will not be forwarded or return ed. Air Mail (7c) is the fastest possible delivery. We at the Nahunta post office shall strive to have all packages in our hands by Christmas Eve delivered; as we have been able to do the past several years, thanks to the fine cooperation of our patrons. E. Parker Dodge Postmaster A. C Wildes Died At Alma Monday A. C. Wildes, 78, died at Alma Monday morning following an ex tended illness. A native of Charlton County, he had lived in Bacon County since 1936. He was a farmer.

Bessent, Jack sonville, Fla.; five sons, Clyde and Leon Wildes, Hazlehurst; Homer and Liston Wildes, Alma, D. L. Wildes, Waycross; a sister, Mrs. O. M. Prescott, Folkston; two brothers, R. H.

Chemical Company Negotiates For Site in Camden County Thiokol Chemical Corp, picked a site on Georgia’s Atlantic coast that it wants as the location of a contemplated new rocket fuel plant which eventually could employ 8,000 persons. Negotiations, the company said, are under way to obtain the site The firm declined to give the s Ze of the property or its loca tion. However, E. J. Gayner, presi dent of the Brunswick Pulp and Paper Co., several weeks ago con firmed that Thiokol was seeking to buy from his firm a site lo cated near Woodbine, and abou? 20 miles south of Brunswick in Camden County. Earlier this fall, officials of the Bristol, Pa., company outlined plans for a plant they will build If they get a contract they are bidding for from the Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency. They added that the plant is expected to employ some 800 PSC Approves Application Os Atlanta Gas Light Co. Atlanta Gas Light Company । now owns and operates the sys-I terns in Waycross and Bruns wick, serving the towns with LP gas. It has for several years sought natural gas supplies for these towns and finally made an application to build the entire system. It will purchase its gas supply from Southern Natural I Gas Company. Southeast Georgia is the last large area of the state without natural gas. The availability of this fuel will in all probability bring an increased industrial acti vity as well as provide resident ial service to thousands of cus tomers.

The plant would produce solid-propellant boosters for the lunar space probe. A spokesman for Thiokol said this firm now wants the Georgia site. It was selected from among 50 possible locations in the South east. The company wants it whether or not it wins the hoped for contract. He said the Georgia site is so attractive the firm would be able to use it later even without the contract. The spokesman said he expects Thiokol to .make some announce ment within about a week con cerning plans for the Georgia property. Earlier a congressman reported that the company wants about 25,000 acres of land with a deep water frontage so massive units could be water-shipped to Cape Canaveral or elsewhere for launching. ta Gas Light’s plans had been op posed by a recently organized company — Georgia Central Transmission Company — which /wanted to serve some of the same areas.

Brantley Singing Convention Meets at Nahunta Next Sunday Births Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Stallings announce the birth of a new baby boy on Sunday, Nov. 19 weighing eight pounds and seven ounces. He has been named Colt Stall ings. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Proctor of Nahunta announce the birth of a baby boy born early Tuesday morning, Nov. 21, in the Pierce County Hospital. The baby weigh ed seven pounds six ounces and has been named Royce Hubert Jr. , Father and Son Make Recommended Practices Pay Off One of the goals that Robert J. O'Steen, of Rt. 2 Douglas, set for his farm was top yields. The per acre yields on his farm had been too low to return a good profit. Using soil test results as a basis for fertilizer and lime use, he has accomplished this goal. Mr. O’Steen was recognized as a member of the Georgia Bale and Half Cotton Club for pro ducing 827 pounds of lint cotton per acre on 10 acres. He also pro duced over 3,000 pounds of to bacco per acre on his allotment. His son, Tony, has averaged over 100 bushels per acre of corn for three years on his two-acre 4-H Club project. Mr. O’Steen feels he did a good job of controlling insects on his cotton, which enabled him to get good results from his fertilization praetices. After correcting the pH of the soil with lime, he used a basic application of 800 pounds per acre of 5-10-15 fertilizer. He then added enough nitrogen to give 120,80 and 120 pounds per acre of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, respectively. Tony’s fertilization program on his corn consists of 1,000 pounds per acre of 5-10-15 plus enough nitrogen to give a total of about 180 to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Tony’s yield last year was 133 bushels per acre. Both father and son believe the Soil Fertility slogan “Better Fertilization Today Will Give a Better Tomorrow." SOUTHERN PINE Even in its natural state, Southern Pine is the strongest of structural woods. Proper season ing virtually doubles this strength, according to Extension Forestry Marketing Specialist H O. Baxter. One woman said eight fami lies borrowed her Enterprise each week.
