The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Oct. 3, Rambler to Show New Model Cars Thursday, Oct. 3 DETROIT, October 1— American Motors today announced new and broadened 1964 Rambler Classic and Ambassador lines. Styling refinements, new hardtop models and new convenience options are prominent among the advances in both American Motors’ top-selling Classic line and the Ambassador lux ury line. With the company’s lowest-priced Rambler, the drastically changed 19- 64 American that was announced last week, the company has now in troduced three distinct lines of 1964 compact cars that completely span the market for this popular car type. Thomas A. Coupe, vice president of automotive sales, said: “The compacts definitely emerged with full stature during the past mo del year and now offer the motorist the things he can get in other cars, plus lower relative price and the special advantages of trim design. “The extension and broadening of compact appeal for 1964 confirms the rising popularity of these cars. We expect their sales volume to be boosted by the newest Ramblers as well as by the growing influence of the compact idea throughout the in dustry.” The 1964 Classics and Ambassadors go on display in dealer showrooms Thursday, October 3. “The 1964 Ambassador 990-H hard top is the most luxurious cur ever offered by American Motors and will take a top position among the fine cars of America, with luxury second to none,” Coupe stated. “Its smart, sports-type styling will appeal to all age groups, and its performance is comparable to the best.” Polio Chapter Met To Hear Sanders The Brantley County Polio Chap ter met Wednesday, Sept. 25, with state polio chairman Robert Sanders. Mrs. Carl Ellis was elected Brant ley County chairman; Mrs. Weyman Montague, vice-chairman; Mrs. J Siegel, secretary; Mrs. Bob Strick land, treasurer.

Bostwick, Ga., Gets $95,000 Soil, Water Association Loan A $95,000.00 Soil and Water Asso ciation loan to the Town of Bostwick to provide a municipal water system was announced recently by S. L. VanLandingham, State Director, Farmers Home Administration. This is the first loan of this type approved in Georgia. The town of Bostwick with a population of 272 people is located in Morgan County. The town will use the loan to dig a deep well, install pipelines, pumping equipment, treat ment facilities, and elevated storage tank. Approximately 71 farm and ru ral families, 11 business establish ments, 2 churches, and 1 public school will have an adequate and sanitary water supply. At present water is supplied by individual wells which are inadequate and some cas es unsanitary. The FHA loan is to be repaid over a 30 year period from income from the water system. The town officials who negotiated this loan with the FHA are A. Lewis Thompson, Mayor, and J. Henry Bur ge, John F. Nunn, Robert F. Wag non, Johnny H. Lill, Councilmen. Loans of this type are available to organizations operating on a non profit basis including small towns, non-profit corporation, soil conserva tion district or recreation associa tions who are unable to obtain need ed credit from other sources. The making of the Soil and Water Association loan to the Town of Bost wick, State Director VanLandingham said, shows how an effeciently ad ministered Federal program can be used in promotion of rural growth in our small towns and communities.. This is an excellent example of rural areas development in action. The 1964 Rambler Classic and Ambassador lines feature fresh new styling and more luxurious interiors. Shown is the Classic station wagon, the most popular model in the Rambler line. Horse- Mr. and Mrs. Wess Jones of Belle Glade, Fla. and Franklin, N.

Miss Lu cile Higginbotham, health specialist with the Cooperative Extension Ser vice, adds that skin cancer tends to be more frequent among individuals who have had continued exposure to sun and weather for a number of years. INSECTS IN STORED GRAIN Grain in storage should be fumi gated to kill insect pests which des troy the grain and make it unfit for human consumption. Cooperative Ex tension Service entomologists point out that fumigation kills insects that are present, but does not protect the grain from reinfestation. They say grain should be inspected frequently to see if addi'u<ua. fumigation is needed.

RIBOFLAVIN IMPORTANT FOR GOOD VISION Eating foods containing ribo flavin help keep vision clear, say nutritionists with the Cooperative Extension Service. Sponsored by Ga. Dept, of Industry and Trade & Ga. Press Assn. GEORGIA HERlTAGE—Georgia’s highest ranking Continental officer in the American Revolution was Lachlan Mclntosh. Born in 1727, Lachlan was the son of John Mor Mackintosh who led a group of Highlanders to a settlement on the Altamaha in 1736. The young Mclntosh was a cadet in General Oglethorpe’s regiment, and received part of his educational training at Bethesda. In the pre-Revolutionary era he became a leading planter at Darien. An active patriot, Lachlan Mclntosh was made colonel of Georgia’s first continental regiment. On May 16, 1777, the famous duel between Mclntosh and Button Gwin nett occurred near Savannah, resulting in the death of Gwinnett. Shortly afterwards, Mclntosh was assigned to General George Washington’s headquarters, serving with distinction at Valley Forge and later as commander of the Western Department at Fort Pitt. Washington characterized Mclntosh as “an Officer of great worth and merit.” The Georgian participated in the siege of Savannah in 1779, and in the following year was cap tured when Charlestown was taken by the British in 1780. Mc- Intosh was suspended from command because of a report by Governor Walton; but in 1784 the Confederation Congress de clared the report unjust and elevated Mclntosh to the rank of Major GeneraL He died in Savannah in 1806. Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state .... $3.09 Outside state $3.00 The first newspaper published in what is now Brantley County was “The Nahunta Banner,” issued the first time on Sept. 8, 1920. A copy of the paper was brought to the Enterprise office by Mrs. J. B. Lewis of Nahunta. The editor of The Nahunta Banner was J. N. At kinson who later ran a job printing shop in Baxley, Ga., and died there several years ago. The first Nahunta paper was a five-column, eight-page tabloid news paper, with short columns, that is. The county of Brantley was being organized but then Nahunta was still in Wayne County when the first issue was printed. The first page carries a story a bout the meeting of the Wayne Coun ty Board of Education, of which W. M. “Uncle Bill” Roberson was a member. One paragraph states “Patrons of Goose Creek school asked that a one-teacher school be continued in their district for another term in stead of being transported to Odum.” The Saw Grass School was given an appropriation of $75 to aid in build ing. Some of the Nahunta personals items in the first issue were as fol lows: “Misses Lula and Martha Mizell have returned home from a delight ful trip to " ’ and Tybee.” “One J jorn patches yet to be heard of is out only three miles from here. The owner, Mr. Lynes has refused thirteen hundred dol lars for* it. It contains about two acres.” “Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Morgan are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie 1 . 'Mr. Wm. M. Roberson with his sons, Edwin and Joseph, accompan ied Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Brooker to their home at Brunswick last Wed nesday.” The paper states that the amend ment to the Georgia State Consti tution creating Brantley County would be voted on at the general e lection Nov. 2 and that it undoubted ly would pass. » Officers of the new county were to be elected Dec. 8 and the newly elected officers would take office Jan. 1, 1921. There were 59 separate schools in all of Wayne County at the time The Nahunta Banner was started. The new county of Brantley got 21 of the schools, leaving 38 schools in Wayne County. In a news story about the school system the paper reports as fol lows: “In contracting with teachers this fall the Wayne County Board of Edu cation will contract with teachers of these 21 schools for the full six or seven months, but with the provision that said contracts will, on the 31st day of December, become null and void in event of the final creation of Brantley County, When such teachers will enter into new contracts with the officials of the new county.”
