Newspaper Page TextThe Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Aug. 6, 1944 USDA Again To Furnish Market Reports Come late July, as in seasons past, telephones will be busy in a room on the second floor of a Valdosta, Ga., hotel. From this room, headquarters for the Federal-State Tobacco Market News Service, operated by the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, comes the first news of what prices farmers in South Georgia and northern Flo rida are receiving for their new ly harvested crop of flue-cured tobacco. News of the "first-hour sales'* on the opening auction day in the Georgia-Florida area heralds the beginning of the flue-cured mar keting season in a tobacco grow ing belt that extends northward from Georgia and Florida through the Carolinas and well into Vir ginia. To cover the first-hour sales in the Georgia-Florida area—where tobacco matures earlier than else where—takes a lot of fast tele phoning by the market reporters and a small clerical staff in or der to complete a market report on the first-hour sales and get it by 11 a. m. to Atlanta to waiting regional news wire ser vices. Once the first-hour report is ~<ce the first-hour report is out of the way, there is more telephoning later in the day for marketing information on sales for the first full action day, and on each succeeding day of the selling season. Each day of the selling season the market report ers prepare a narrative report in news style on the day’s selling and have it on its way to the news wire services and other news outlets by 4 p. m. Also, as the daily report for news media is being prepared, work is underway on another important daily report. This is the daily price report, which lists the latest established mar ket price averages for most of the 157 grades of flue-cured to bacco along with USDA support prices. Packets of the price report are This Coupon and 25* Entitles the Bearer to Skate Any Monday or Thursday Night at Brantley Recreation Center Augusta builder reports: “People prefer total-electric apartments" Jim Bible “The success of my new Valley Park apartment development is proof that modern Georgians like the total electric concept of living.” Mr. Bible is a nationally known builder and a director of the National Association of Homebuilders. His wife, Kitty, is an interior decorator. "I enjoy our flameless electric heating and air conditioning,” she says. “Draperies, fine fabrics and walls stay new-looking. Every thing is so clean I” Mr. Bible adds that the installation of electric appliances and equipment keeps construction costs down because there’s no need for expensive flues and vents. The special low rate for total-electric customers and budget billing (the same amount every month) also come in for high praise. The Bibles operate as a team combining talents in building, decorating and home making. “You win,” they say, “when you live better electrically!” GEORGIA POWER COMPANY mailed each evening from Val dosta to Agricultural Marketing Service tobacco inspectors who post the reports early next morn ing in conspicuous places in the 118 auction warehouses in the Georgia-Florida flue-cured area. The Agricultural Marketing Ser vice tobacco market news ser vice dates back to 1935 when Congress passed the Tobacco In spection Act. Under the act, pro ducers are provided mandatory and free inspection service and market news after they have vo ted in a referendum for the ser vices. Previously, a limited mar ket news service covered a few markets where tobacco was being inspected and graded on a fee basis. Today, the free inspection and market news services embrace all of the nation's 871 tobacco auction warehouses. Flue-cured tobacco growers, tradesmen, and other interested persons may obtain mailed re ports free by writing to Tobac co Market News Service, Agricul tural Marketing Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, P. 0. Box 549, Raleigh, N. C. 27602. Social Security A. C. Ross, District Director of Internal Revenue Service in At lanta has today an easier way for taxpayers to have their re quired Social Security numbers assigned to them. “In the past,” Mr. Ross stated, “taxpayers have had to apply for their Identifying Number to the Social Security office in Balti more, Maryland.” Now the num bers will be sent out by any lo cal Social Security Administra tion or Internal Revenue Service office. The Director emphasized that all taxpayers must have an Iden tifying Number (Social Security number) and list it when they file their Federal income tax return. Mr. Ross asked that the taxpay er use the new Form 3435, Notice of Identifying Number. The old Form 3435, which listed a Balti more Post Office Box, should be discharged. The Director pointed out that the Identifying Number is essen tial for the operation of the elec tronic computers now used to process tax returns. ROSCOE DEAN Dean Is For Quality Education, Vocational Schools And School Teachers State Senatorial Candidate Ros coe Emory Dean Jr. of Jesup de clared today that he will wage a constant campaign in the leg islature and at the State Capitol to bring to the youth of the six th senatorial district every possi ble educational benefit. I will fight for more classrooms, better salaries and working conditions for teachers, new courses to meet the demands of the changing times, help for retired school teachers, more recreation cen ters for our children, and closely available technical training schools and junior colleges. Vo cational training should be pro vided in every school system. Dean added. When you have entrusted me with the office of State Senator, I plan to seek a new Junior Col lege or Vocational Technical School for our district and ex panded vocational training oppor tunities in all school systems. We must train the hands as well as the minds. We are ideally loca ted for a Junior College or Vo cational School. Our district is rich in history and culture, bless ed by natural resources for field laboratory study, and fortunate in having citizens alert to the im perative needs of education that will equip our youth for life and labor. The time has come when we simply cannot afford for our chil dren NOT to have a fine edu cation. I know you join me in the fervent hope that education will NEVER become as expen sive as ignorance. Educational benefits and improvements can be secured without raising taxes. Thrift, prudent purchasing, and economy in other areas is the answer. We must tackle with all the tools available the problem of the school drop-out. It is shocking that Georgia has the worst drop out problem in the nation. FIF TY-FOUR PER CENT OF THE CHILDREN IN GEORGIA WHO REACH HIGH SCHOOL NEVER FINISH. And this problem goes deeper than a crippling lack of education. In many instances THEY DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, THEN THEY DROP OUT OF THE HOME, AND THEN THEY DROP OUT OF SIGHT. The ques tion we must answer is whether we are going to have a golden — or a gone—generation. We must find an answer to the drop-out problem before it is too late. I intend to carry the battle a gainst drop-outs from our District to the State Capitol when you e lect me your New State Senator in th* 1 September 9th Democratic Primary Election. (Adv.)
