VOLUME 42 NUMBER 15 Okefenoke Co-op Refunds Credits Os $51,589.70 to Customers On Tuesday, April 3rd, Oke fenoke Rural Electric Member ship Corporation mailed checks totaling $51,589.70 to its mem bers. These were the capital cre dits earned in 1955. This is the third consecutive year that refunds have been made. The refund of these capi tal credits reflect the strong fin ancial condition and progress of Okefenoke Co-op. Without these conditions refunds could not be made. Capital credits are monies col lected over and above the cost of providing service. In a profit making company this would be profit, but with Okefenoke REMC (being a non-profit corporation owned by the members it serves) these monies are refunded to the members. The Board of Directors decides when refunds will be made. These refunds are made on a percentage basis of the net energy billing. The Board of Directors and management of Okefenoke REMC are happy these refunds are pos sible at this time. They wish to point out also, that these refunds are possible because members trusted electric energy to do their many jobs and increased their usage over the years. Okefenoke Co-op now serves over 5,100 meters and has almost 1,500 miles of power lines in Brantley, Charlton, Camden, Ware, Wayne and Glynn Coun ties, Georgia and Nassau, Duval and Baker Counties, Florida.

Ample Supply of Quality Cotton Seed Available A good supply of excellent quality seed is available for planting this spring, reports Har vey C. Lowery, Extension seed marketing specialist, University of Georgia College of Agriculture. Mr. Lowery reported at the same time that the certified cot ton seed program is continuing to progress in Georgia. The Georgia Crop Improvement Asso ciation field inspected and ap proved for certification 45,000 acres of cotton in 1961. This pro duced enough high quality seed to plant over 75 percent of the allotted acres in Georgia. Georgia leads the Southeast in the number of modern processing plants for machine and acid-de iinting, and is one of the few states which require all certified cotton to be ginned at a one variety gin, he pointed out. He said that processors and seedsmen report an increase in use of acid-delinted cotton seed. Georgia now has four acid-de linting plants and will be able to supply this and other states with high acid-delinted seed. A classified ad can sell house- hold items you don’t need for ready cash.

IN TALMADGE "I eports From I i I pHINGTOUPH nt T CARRIED TO its ultimate con elusion, the effect of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Tennessee Reapportionment Case would be to replace our Republican form of government with a judicial dictatorship. A Republican form of govern ment is guaranteed expressly to I each American State by the I Constitution of the United ; States which provides for government | composed of I three separate | and co-equal branches — Executive, Legisla tive and Judicial. The Constitu tion specifies that each of those branches are to be forever in dependent of the other with the Legislative making the laws, the Executive administering the laws and the Judicial interpret ing the laws. For the Supreme Court now to attempt to hold that the Federal Judiciary can compel state legislatures to take whatever action judges may order constitutes a direct viola tion of this constitutional doc trine of separation of powers. • • • THIS ACTION is without doubt the most devastating blow to local self-government in the history of our Republic. It is the most far-reaching decision ever handed down by the Supreme Court, far exceeding in scope the landmark Marbury V. Madison ease of 1803 in which that tri bunal assumed the power to pass upon the constitutionality of legislative acts. It not only makes the legisla tures of all 50 states subject to the supervision and direction of (not propartd or printed at povemmont oxptnn) One woman said eight fami lies borrowed her Enterprise each week. I didn’t know there were that many spong ers in Brantley County. The Norman College Choir of Norman Park, Ga. will present a concert for the entire evening service at the Hoboken Baptist Church on Sunday April 15 at 8 o’clock. Norman College, owned by the Georgia Baptist Convention, is a fully accredited Junior College named for the late J. B. (Wheel er) Norman, Jr. an outstanding pioneer Baptist. Dr. Guy N. Atkinson is President and well known in this area. Norman College was founded in 1900. Mr. Noel P. Miller of Waycross is a Trustee. Miss Marion Davis is Head of the Music Department of Norman College and the highly capable director of the choir. Before joining the Norman faculty in 1958 she was formerly Minister of Music at the First Baptist Church in Moultrie, Between 50 and 60 concerts are given each year by this outstanding group and over 50 performances have already been presented this cur rent school year of 1961-62. The 27 member Norman Choir includes students from Georgia and Florida and one young man from New Jersey. Miss Margaret Davis from Hoboken is & Fresh man member of the Choir and one of the featured soloists. The program will include a Sermon in Song as well as out standing sacred songs and fa miliar hymns, and special ar rangements of all time favorites. Prior to the concert in Hoboken on Sunday evening, the Norman Choir will sing for the residents of Baptist Village in Waycross on Sunday afternoon and present a morning concert at another church in this area. Everyone is cordially invited to come to hear the Sunday even ing program at the Hoboken Baptist Church where Rev. Chesley Walker is pastor. Births Mr. and Mrs. Gordon A. Mit chell of Angola Indiana announce the arrival of an eight pound eleven ounce boy on April 3.

It amounts to what Justice Harlan characterized in his forceful dissenting opinion as “an adventure in judicial ex perimentation” and opens up what Justice Frankfurter aptly termed “enormous political im plications, the nature and reach of which are certainly beyond the informed understanding of, and capacity for appraisal by, courts.” • • • THE DECISION raises the very practical question of how a court goes about forcing a state legislature to enact laws it does not wish to pass. Does it sum mon the lawmakers into special session before it and decree that they enact certain statutes un der threat of contempt? Does it put into jail those legislators who refuse to vote the way the judge tells them? Until this instance the Federal Judiciary wisely refused to in tervene in local political matters and, as late as five years ago, ruled unanimously on the point. Inasmuch as the Constitution has not been changed in the in tervening period, this decision cannot be interpreted as any thing less than further evidence of the intention of a majority of the present Supreme Court to establish a judicial autocracy superior not only to the Con stitution of the United States but also to the will of the people.
