Relaxation Almost everyone finds a time during which he is under strains from business, family or other activities. It is important in life that persons be able to release this strain through some type of relaxation. Games and hobbies are many times used by individuals for relaxation. It is important that a person realize that these hobbies and games are for relaxation, and for the fullest enjoyment and benefit, should be used as such. If this is not kept in mind, many times these activities will become harder work or create greater strains than those activities which the person is trying to escape. BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Dowling to Erect New Hoboken Post Office Postmaster General John A. Grenouski announced that a con tract has been awarded to Mr. T. F. Dowling, to build the new post office in Hoboken, and rent it to the Post Office Department. The announcement of the award to the successful bidder advances the new building closer to the con struction stage. When fully op erational, the Postmaster Gener al said, the additional space and more modern equipment will, in the long run, more than offset the extra cast involved in produc ing more efficient handling of the mail, in accord with President Johnson’s directive to provide the best possible postal service at the least possible cost. “This project is in accordance with our policy of building new post offices only where they are urgently needed,” Mr. Grenouski said. “We are constantly re-as sessing our construction program to determine whether present buildings can be altered or re modeled to take care of our ex panding volume. The new building on U. S. 84 near the present post office, will represent an estimated total in vestment of SB4OO by the success ful bidder. It will be rented to the Department for five years with three 5-year renewal options at an annual rental of SIOBO for the basic term. The new one story building will be air conditioned. It will have an interior space of 800 square feet, and an area for parking and movement of postal vehicles of 1600 square feet. The post office is expected to be completed by February 1. Pre sent quarters will be abandoned upon completion of new facility.

EXTENSION SERVICE WILL COMPLY WITH CIVIL RIGHTS ACT It will not be possible for the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Georgia to pro vide assistance to any organiza tion that excludes any person from membership or participation in any activities of the organiza tion or subjects any person to dis crimination because of race, color or national origin. This statement was issued to day by Extension Service Director L. W. Eberhardt, Jr. The Exten sion Service is financed in part by Federal funds from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, thus making the organization subject to provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. At the same time Director Eber hardt gave assurance that the program of the Extension Service will continue to move forward in serving the people of the state. “We have been gratified,” he said, “by the response of the people with whom we work to the necessary changes in our pro gram.” Extension Service work is car ried out by county agents and county home economists support ed by a state staff of specialists. “We are determined to serve all people to the best of our ability,” Director Eberhardt stated. “If, however, any person —a mem ber of our staff or anyone outside the organization — feels that he or she is being discriminated a gainst or that the work of the or ganization is discriminatory, that person can file a complaint with the Extension Service in Athens, the Federal Extension Service in Washington or the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture.” Such complaints must be filed in writing not later than 90 days from the date of the alleged dis crimination.

Questions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GOSSIP AND SLANDER? Gossip and slander are very closely related. Webster says that a gossip is a person who chatters or repeats idle talk and rumors about others. Slander is the utter ance or spreading of false state ments harmful to another’s char acter or reputation. The only difference between slander and libel is that libel must be in writing while slander is committed with the tongue. If those who delight in tale-bearing and the spreading of rumors were required to put into writing every spoken word, much which passes for news would die a sudden death. The Bible has much to say a bout the slanderer or gossip. First of all, one must have an evil heart to spread stories which would harm another. “A good man produces good from the store of good within himself; and an evil man from evil within pro duces evil. For the words that the mouth utters comes from the flowing of the ehart.” Luke 6:45. Usually idle gossip is the result of idle hands. Paul in giving in structions to the church concern ing a certain group of women in the church said, “Besides, they are likely to be lazy and spend their time gossiping around from house to house, getting into other people’s business.” I Timothy 5:- 13. This is not to say, however, that women alone are addicted to this sin. Men also indulge in the pas time of character defamation. “A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour . . . ” Subscription Price and Tax Inside county 5151 Outside county, in state $3.09 Outside state $3.00 Plans for an airport for Na hunta were given a big boost Saturday by announcement from Washington that $46,738 had been allocated by the Fed eral Aviation Agency for the project. Telegrams announcing the allocation of $46,738 by the FAA were received by The Enterprise from Senators Rus sell and Talmadge and Con gressman Tuten Thursday af ternoon. The telegram from the two U. S. Senators was as follows: “Please to announce the al location by the Federal Avia tion Agency of $46,738 to Brantley County Airport for development and clearing zone of airport, construct runway, connecting taxiway and apron, install wind cone and segment ed circle, utility relocation. Richard B. Russell Herman E. Talmadge.” Union-Bag Camp has agreed to sell 40 acres and Brunswick Pulp & Paper Co. has agreed to sell about 19 acres, both plants adjoining, on Highway 84 at Lulaton, according to Raymond D. Smith, member of the airport committee. The land starts on Highway 84 in front of the Dan Wain right store at Lulaton. It will extend southward 5200 feet from Highway 84 and will be 500 feet wide, Mr. Smith said. The paved runway will be 2600 feet long and 50 feet wide. Brantley County Commis sioners have agreed to pur chase the land at a cost of 11,920. The State of Georgia will allocate $25,000 on the project, Mr. Smith stated. The total cost of the project including engineering and con tingency costs, is expected to be $93,476. FERTILIZING AZALEAS The azalea is one of the most sensitive shrubs as far as fertil izer injury is concerned. Symp toms include sudden loss of foli age, browning of the tips and margins of leaves, or even sud den dying of the plants. Horticul turist Gerald E. Smith of the Ex tension Service suggests making only light applications of fertili zer as away of decreasing the possibility of injury. Proverbs 11:9. “He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.” Pro verbs 10:18. Certainly the gossip does not keep very good company since the lazy and the idle, the wicked, the hypocrite and the fool are some of the milder terms by which he is called. He is quite at home with the devil himself for he (the de vil) is the arch accuser of the brethren before God day and night. A Christian should certainly never be guilty of gossip; neither should he give occasion for others to gossip abut him, but should “abstain from all appearance of evil.” We are to keep our tongues from evil and lips from speaking guile. What an effective tod for Satan is the uncontrolled tongue! It is like a raging, destructive fire. Reputations are destroyed; gossip and slander spread like a contagious disease until the entire church, the body of Christ, is af fected — friends are lost and lives are permanently scarred. All this . . . “started by tongues which have been lit with a match from hell.” James tells us that if we truly learn to master the tongue, we will have grown toward a mature Christian experience and will then be able to master the rest of our actions. Having done what is hardest with the help of God, we can succeed in those things which are less difficult. One of the most awesome pro mises which Christ made is “That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account therof in the day of judgment.” Matthew 12:36.
