M. and 7:30 P. M. To assist the local church in the revival, will be Rev. Howard Grimes, pastor of Calvary Church, Waycross, as visiting preacher and Rev. Walter Salter, pastor at Crawford Street, Way cross, as song director. This is a great team of leaders, and the community is invited to attend. This meeting is part of the simultaneous revival crusade, which has been in progress for three weeks in our area of south Georgia. In this way all people will be able to attend the church of their choice at revival time. Legal Advertising To all whom it may concern: GEORGIA, Brantley County CITATION — Administration Thelma T Pmes having ap plied for Permanent Letters of Administration on the estate of Mrs. Lucy Taylor, late of said County, this is due to cite the creditors and next of kin of said Mrs. Lucy Taylor to be and ap pear at my office within the time allowed by law, and show cause, if any they can, why per manent administration should not be granted Thelma T.

A mighty military arm, poised to strike against any aggression, ■ “•as® ■ Jr Kaba * sUk ■MI? ■■ is the best de-' terrent we have today against a war, which at best would be devastating to both sides. The balance of I nuclear - strike power is now' held by the United States, and constant vigilance is required if the tables are not to be turned. This balance of power is some thing Mr. Khrushchev under stands and ap^rently respects. It is the only thing that will hold him and his wily bunch of Communists at bay. In the rift between Red China and the Soviets, Mao depicted the United States as a “paper tiger,” to which Chairman Khrushchev retorted, with great truth: “But the U.S. paper tiger has nuclear teeth.” CURRENT ATTEMPTS at the Geneva Disarmament Conference to reach a nuclear test ban agreement with the Soviets call for utmost caution and a clear and resolute position that nor thing short of an ironclad assur ance against cheating will be ac ceptable to the American people.

Hickox Baptist Church Revival Starts Monday A series of revival services will start at the Hickox Baptist Church Monday night, April 1, with Rev. Owen Rozier as the evangelist. Services will start each night at 7:30. The meeting will con tinue through the week and will terminate with a Homecoming Day observance on Sunday, April 7, with dinner on the church grounds. Rev. Marvin Smith of Homer ville is the pastor of the church. Everyone is invited to attend the revival services. Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson re turned Sunday from Warwick, Ga., where she spent several days with her brothers, Mr. W. M. Merrill and Mr. John Merrill. Mr. Bob Strickland who un derwent surgery on March 15, in Memorial Hospital in Way cross, is much improved and re turned to his home in Nahunta on Monday of this week. Gail Strickland who is in nursing training at Georgia Bap tist Hospital in Atlanta, arrived Tuesday to spend a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Strickland. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Johns will entertain with a housewarming for them at their new home in Hickox on Sunday afternoon, March 31, from 1:00 P. M. to 6:00. The new three bed room house just recently com pleted is located where their home burned in 1960. All friends are invited to visit them. ber of on-site inspections, there are increasing indications that such assurance will be impos sible to achieve. The Communists, who so far as I know have not changed their minds about world con quest, indicate to me that they have no intentions of observing any treaty which may be reached. If they had a sincere wish to stop nuclear testing, why would they balk at agreeing to enough on-site inspections each year to insure against cheating ? THE COMMUNISTS cannot be trusted. They have proven this time and time again in the past in attempts to deal with them over Berlin, Cuba, South east Asia and other Cold War hot spots. The captive people of downtrodden nations in Europe are saddening examples of what comes from trying to “get along” with Communism. The Berlin Wall is much more than mere masonry. It sym bolizes the ends Communists will go to in order to enslave the minds, hearts and spirits of free men. Our negotiators at Geneva will have a tough job seeing that any test ban treaty which might be agreed upon is not loaded in the Reds’ favor. The Communists will do all within their power to get a treaty ad vantageous to them and against the interests cf the people of this country. if i at government expense) BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE REV. WALTER SALTER Baptist Revival Singer Personals ♦ • • The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, March 28, 1963 Seed Tag Shows Germination and Origin of Seed “Be a corn seed tag reader!” This is the suggestion of Coun y Agent George A. Loyd who says choosing the right seed is nighty important when it comes o growing good corn. “Read the seed tag and you will know the origin and germi lation of your seed,” the county agent says. He also offers these further suggestions to follow when buying corn seed: “Buy seed from reputable dealers. Buy only seed that was grown by a reputable producer. “Buying good seed of high germination will insure a good stand which is so important to producing a high yield at a low cost per bushel. “Germination should be at least 90%. A few cents more per bushel spent for good seed will mean dollars in increased profits at harvest time. “Remember poor seed means a poor crop. The better things of life can’t be bought with a corn crop grown from poor seed.” Personals Michael Middleton of Hortense and Janice Willis of Nahunta won places on the Dean’s List at South Georgia College, Douglas, for the winter quarter. Michael is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Middleton of Route 1, Hortense, and Janice is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Willis of Na hunta.

The pilot, Lt. Wil liam L. Taylor, landed in an open spot near B. Loyd's Restaurant after his parachute was entangled mo mentarily in telephone wires near Highway 301. Lt. Taylor was badly shaken up and dazed by his fall to earth but was immediately taken to the Brantley Medical Building by de puty sheriff Wesley Burden where he was given first aid by Dr. Walk er. He reported that he was knock ed momentarily unconscious. Bruises and abrasions seemed his only in juries. Bystanders and motorists on High way 301 stated that the jet plane collided with a big bird but there were conflicting statements as to the kind of bird. Some said it was a buzzard but Mr. and Mrs. James L. Costello of Kelley’s Island, Ohio, who were driving north on Highway 301, said that they saw a “big white bird” fall from the sky, just be fore they saw the plane’s pilot coma floating down nearby. The plane’s ejector seat, the pilot's oxygen mask and other items were scattered about on both sides of Highway 301 near B. Loyd’s Pecan Station and Restaurant. The accident occurred about 11:15 Tuesday morning about three miles north of Nahunta.

The Chambless Funeral Home am balance carried Lt. Taylor from the Medical Building to Jacksonville where he was given treatment at the Cecil Field dispensary. It was re ported that he suffered a back in jury, but no fracture. A Navy spokesman said the pilot, Lt. Wiliam L.
