MORE EGGS, BUT . . .
Collecting extra eggs is not
only problem of increasing
size of laying flocks. Disease,
housing, and management
problems also increase, points
out Extension Service Poul
tryman Jerry Cox. Mr. Cox
adds that the system of egg
marketing probably will chan
ge, too, if a large increase is
made.

Tuten Introduces
Legislation on
Tobacco Leases
Congressman J. Russell Tuten
stated that some tobacco farmers
failed to file written tobacco leas
es with their local ASCS offices
before the April 1, 1964, dead
line.
Congressman Harold Cooley
and Congressman Tuten have in
troduced identical bills to amend
Section 316 of the Agricultural Ad
justment Act of 1938 to extend the
time by which a lease transferr
ing a tobacco acreage allotment
may be filed. Similar legisla
tion was passed in 1962 and 1963.
Congressman Tuten states that
there is every reason to believe
the bills will pass the House with
out any difficulty, but he is con
cerned about a possible delay in
the Senate due to the Civil Rights
controversy. He has requested
the assistance of Senators Rus
sell and Talmadge in getting ear
ly passage by the Senate.
Shrubbery plantings should
be thought out in advance to
eliminate replanting and mov
ing each season, advises T. G.
Williams, head of the Corpora
tive Extension Service land
scape department.

110,000 Persons
In Forest Industries
Macon — H. E. Ruark, director
of the Georgia Forest Reserch
Council, said here that more than
110,000 persons throughout the sta
te are now engaged in forestry
and forest-related industries.
The latest report from the
Georgia Department of Labor
showed that more than 53,000
Georgians were employed in lum
ber, wood products, paper, furn
iture and fixtures plants during
the third quarter of last year,
with a total payroll for the quart
er exceeding $56,000,000. “These
statistics, however, include only
those in manufacturing and do
not take into account the more
than 50,000 persons engaged in
harvesting the basic raw mater
ials from our forests.”
Ruark stated the addition of
persons employed in transporta
tion of forest materials and fin
ished products, those concerned
with forest products sales and
other jobs directly connected with
forest, “gives us a total employ
ment of well over 110,000 Geor
gians.”
The council director pointed out
that forest laud in the state con
stitutes 25,000,000 acres and for
estry in all its aspects is now a
“billion dollar industry” in Geor
gia.
He siad scientific research is
constantly seeking answers to su
perior quality and greater pro
ductivity in the forests. He said
researchers are finding greater
utilization of forest raw materials
and the resulting new products
will open new markets and lead
to more jobs for the people of
Georgia.
MARINES TO WAR
In 1836, the Creek and Semi
nole Indian tribes in Georgia and
Florida were waging war against
the United States. The U. S.
Army had its hands full. The
Fifth Commandant of the Marine
Corps, Colonel Archibald Hender
son placed himself in command
and, taking virtually the entire a
vailable strength of the Corps,
left for the extended campaign
after tacking a terse message on
his office door which read:
“Have gone to Florida to fight
Indians. Will be back when war
is over.”

TO THE CITIZENS
OF BRANTLEY COUNTY:
This is to announce that I
have qualified as a candidate for
representative from Brantley
County in the General Assembly,
subject to the State Democratic
primary election to be held Wed
nesday, Sept. 9.
If elected as your representa
tive, I pledge myself to do my
best to represent you in a wor
thy manner. I will be active and
diligent in serving the best in
terests of our county and state.
It would be my aim to carry
out the policies best calculated to
serve all our citizens. I would
consult with you in matters of
critical interests to our county
and state.
For those of our citizens who
do not know much about me and
my career I submit a brief out
line of my history, as follows:
I was born in Carroll County,
Georgia, and worked as a farm
boy until the age of 13 years.
Then I worked in a factory fdr
seven years.
At age 21 I went to school in
the academic department of
Young Harris College. Later I
graduated from Chattahoochee
High School, Clermont, Georgia.
For five years I taught school
and preached to country churches.
In the meantime I married Exie
Lurline Cunard of Jasper
County, Georgia, and began to
raise a family.
At age 29 I entered Mercer
University. While in college I ser
ved Bellevue Baptist Church in
Macon as pastor. In my senior
year at Mercer I was editor of
the college weekly newspaper. I
also engaged in intercollegiate de
bating, representing Mercer Uni
versity in debates against How
ard College and Furman Uni
versity.
After graduating at Mercer in
1922 I served churches in Geor
gia and Florida for 15 years be
fore moving to Nahunta in the
fall of 1937.
My 26 years in Brantley Coun
ty has caused me and my family
to deeply love our adopted coun
ty and its people. We bought our
first real home here and we ex
pect to live here until we die.
I would consider it a great hon
or and a high privilege to serve
Brantley County as representa
tive. I would also consider it a
great responsibility and would dis
charge that responsibility to the
best of my ability.
Your active support and your
vote on election day will be ap
preciated more than I can say.
Your vote is your scepter of sov
ereign citizenship. Every voter
is king in our country. I believe
you will use your vote and in
fluence for good government and
for the highest interest of our
county and country.
Your state government is now
a four-hundred-million dollar busi
ness, and I know you will weigh
the capabilities of the candidate'
with careful and thoughtful minds
I will gladly abide by your val
ued judgment on the issues an^
personalities in the race for rep
resentative.
Yours sincerely,

BALANCE THE FOOD
YOU EAT WITH
THE FOOD YOU USE
Much of the Information on di
sts, nutrition, weight and
related subjects is misleading and
unnecessarily complicated. Here
are some simple points which
should eliminate some of the con
fusion about the relation of what
you eat to what you weigh.
There are really no fattening
: oods and no reducing foods. It’s
the amount consumed that counts.
Some foods are relatively high in
calories, others are relatively low
in calories. However, a calorie of
protein is just as fattening as a
calorie of starch.
A person’s weight depends en
tirely on the number of calories
he eats in relation to the num
ber of calories his body uses,
i’eople require different numbers
of calories. The amount depends
on a person’s metabolic rate —
the rate at which good energy is
used, the amount of activity a
person engages in, the activity of
his glands and other factors. A
person gains weight when he eats
more food than his body uses. He
loses weight when he eats less
food than he uses. His weight re
mains the same when the calor
ies in the food he eats are balan
ced with the calories his body
uses.
Many overweight people com
pare the amount of food they eat
with the amount of food someone
else eats. That other person
may be thin. The point is, how
ever. that other person prob
ably burns more calories than
the overweight person. He can
°at as m"ch and still stay thin.
It’s also foolish to say you “eat
like a bird.” The average bird
eats his own weight in food every
day!
A decrease in salt and water
intake causes a temporary loss
of weight. It causes a loss of
fluid but this is not a loss of
fat. The loss is immediately re
gained when enough water is
drunk.
Some drugs cause loss of ap
petite in most persons. These
should be taken only on the pre
scription of a physician, however,
since people with certain condi
tions shouldn’t take them.
Many people try “fad” diets.
One can lose weight rapidly on
many of these diets. But the lon
gest period of time one of the
diets can safely be adhered to
is about two weeks. At the end
of that time the person will re
gain the weight he has lost unless
he changes his eating habits from
what they were before he went
on the fad diet. The best way
to reduce is to change eating ha
bits. They should be changed so
that the weight loss is a maxi
mum of two to three pounds a
week.
A common fallacy is that a
“balanced diet” means balanced
at each meal. This is not neces
sarily true. One doesn’t have to
have meat, a green vegetable and
fruit at each meal. If the diet
over a week’s time includes the
necessary foods for proper nutri
tion, that is sufficient. It doesn’t
have to be balanced every meal
or every day.
The same is true about caloric
intake. If you want to eat pie
and ice cream one day, and let
tuce the next, you will still lose
weight provided your total calori
intake is less than you use that
week
DOC MAG SAYS: Excess
weight is a health hazard. You’ll
feel better and be healthier if
your weight is right.
Don’t be confused by all the in
formation on dieting. Keep a few
facts in mind. Eat what your bo
dy needs and no more.
Academic
Accomplishment
Nothing, it has been said,
succeeds like success, and in
a like manner nothing leads
to success today like education
— personal, diligent academic
accomplishment.
The Hartwell Kiwanis Club
Monday night paid tribute to
40 students who have achieved
a straight “A” average during
the year, and the gesture on
behalf of the club was indeed
a credit to the community as
well as an honor to the stu
dents.
Academic excellence is too
often neglected these days
when recognition is given in
our schools. Athletic teams
(which win) get their wel 1-
deserved praise, and the many
clubs get their share of recog
nition. But until this program
and a few other isolated cases
those who excell in the one
area for which schools are
founded have been totally un
rewarded.
The Sun has long advocated
more recognition for academic
achievement. The more em
phasis w r e put on scholastic
accomplishment the more stu
dents we will find basking in
the warm, healthy, academic
sunshine.

Forests, Woodland
Are Important in
Soil Stewardship
By Henry G. Backus
Forester
U. S. Forest Service
Good people make good land.
And good land makes good peo
ple.
Even the poorest land is vi
tal in God’s scheme of things. It
is essential in holding the earth
together. Good people, applying
intelligent stewardship to poor
land can make it productive for
some human needs.
Forests and woodland play an
important part in stewardship of
the soil. Forests hold the soil in
place on the poor land areas.
Forest give maximum protection
to the soil on rough land areas.
There is no surface run-off of
water on woodland that is in good
hydrologic condition.
Forests provide the habitat for
much of the nation’s fish and
game resources. They provide the
inspirational and aesthetic va 1-
ues which are most conducive to
meditation and outdoor recrea
tion.
And, finally, forests and wood
land provide the raw material
for the vast wood-using industries
which are so vital to our needs
and to the local and national e
conomy.
Much of the opportunity to com
bat rural poverty will come from
the husbandry of woodland areas
and the wise development and
promotion of their uses.
On this tenth observation of
Soil Stewardship Week, it is fit
ting that we repeat, and dedicate
ourselves to the Conserva
tion Pledge, which reads — “I
give my pledge as an American
to save and to faithfully defend
from waste the natural resources
of my country — its soil and
minerals, forests, water and wild
life.”

104 years old
and total-electric!
Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Sharman bought an 1860
mansion in Roanoke, Alabama, and moved
it board by board to Albany, Georgia. Care
ful reconstruction kept its charm intact.
Practical planning added flameless electric
cooling and heating as well as appliances
for modern total-electric living.
“We’re very happy with our choice,” re
ports Dr. Sharman. “Two electric heat
pumps keep precisely the temperature we
want in summer and winter.”
Mrs. Sharman adds, “The house stays
dust-free, too. And my appliances in the
kitchen and throughout the house do the
work of many servants needed years ago.”
The Sharmans like the special low rate
for total-electric customers, and budget
billing (the same amount every month!)
comes in for high praise.
Looking back to days “Gone With the
Wind,” when Scarlet O’Hara restored Tara,
wouldn’t it have been nice if she could
have made it total-electric, too!
