TALMADGE APPRECIATION DAY — Sen. and Mrs. Herman Talmadge are greeted upon arrival
St. Simons Island airport by U. S. Rep. and Mrs. Russell Tuten. A light rain failed to dampen the
spirits of Glynn countians who set aside a special day in honor of the Senator. After appearances
at Brunswick College, three high schools and a barbecue, Sen. Talmadge said he had been in politics
19 years but had never enjoyed a day more thoroughly or seen as many people in such a brief
time. Introduced to each of the audiences by Rep. Tuten, the Senator hailed the Bth District Con
gressman as a man who does his homework and has the courage, honesty and sincerity to say 'yes'
or 'no' and have it stick. "I know of no member of Congress who has made such an outstanding
record in such a short time," he declared.

By Howard T. Stoner
Soil Conservation Service
How well do you know your
soil? We know that some fields
plow easier than others; some
take water faster than others;
some require irrigating more of
ten than others; and some require
drainage.
These are only a few of the
things we probably already know
about our soils. As economic
forces become more demanding,
management becomes more and
more important. We can’t. do a
good job of farm management
unless we know and understand
our soils.
In our study of the soil, let’s
not look only at the surface but
let us take a deep look. How fast
will water move down through
the soil? How much water will
the soil hold? How deep is our
soil? What kinds of yields should
we expect from different sys
tems of management on this
kind of soil?
These are only a few of the
questions that the Soil Conserva
tion Service, in cooperation with
the University of Georgia, Col
lege of Agriculture, and Agricul
tural Experiment Stations are at-
MAKE SAFETY A PART OF
YOUR HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE
“Christmas is a happy and
joyous occasion for all. Special
precautions should be taken to
help keep it that way,” he said,
and then offered some sugges
tions for family and home safety.
1. Be sure all toys and presents
given to children are not capable
of causing fire, explosion or e
lectrical shock, do not have
sharp edges, or do not contain
poisonous materials such as lead
paint.
2. Be sure toys which operate
by electricity have the UL (Un
derwriter’s Laboratories, Inc.)
label on them.
3. Select a Christmas tree
which has been treated with a
fire-resistant coating, if avail
able. Keep water around the base
of any live tree at all times
while in the home.
4. Use only UL approved e
lectric lights and decorate with
fireproofed or nonflammable ma
terials.
5. Keep the decorated tree in
the coolest area of the room,
and away from registers, heaters,
fireplaces and other heat sources.
6. Turn off tree lights when
ever you leave the house, even
if only for a short time.
7. Frequently check the needles
of the tree around light bulbs —
if they are brown, relocate the
lights. When the needles begin to
shed, take the tree down and dis
pose of it.
Soil Is Important
tempting to answer. This is being
done through the National Coop
erative Soil Survey.
Through this survey the char
acter and extent of the various
kinds or types of soils are de
termined. Full use is made of
the laboratory, the experimental
plots and the research farms to
obtain this information.
Yield studies are made to de
termine the expected yields of
various crops under different
levels of management for each
kind of soil. This phase of the
soil survey is done through field
observations, experimental re
sults and farmer experience. Aid
will be sought from farmers in
the area on yields obtained with
various types of management.
Soil Surveys are being made at
a rate of about 400 acres per
man day. Approximately 107,900
acres have been surveyed in
Brantley County to date. A com
plete soil survey map of Brant
ley County is to be published at
a later date. For information a

WHITE PINE MARKET
CAN BE INCREASED,
TECH REPORT SAYS
ATLANTA — Ways to increase
the market demand for eastern
white pine sawtimber are sug
gested in a report just released
by Georgia Tech’s Industrial De
velopment Division. The Tech
study indicates that white pine
might be used for improved so
lid lumber panels, overlaid lum
ber, irradiated wood-plastic ma
terial, and wood trusses for va
cation homes.
To help eastern white pine pro
ducers compete successfully with
ponderosa pine from the West
Coast, the report recommends the
formation of a “Southern Appala
chian Eastern White Pine Pro
ducers Cooperative.”
The functions of such a co
operative organization would be
to set up and enforce proper pro
duction standards, launch a pro
motional campaign, and pass on
information to members on new
wood technology.

10 Industrial
District Meetings
Benefits available under the
Public Works and Economic De
velopment Act of 1965 will be ex
plained during a series of indus
trial development conferences
scheduled by U. S. Rep. Russell
Tuten for the week of Dec. 13-17.
The conferences will be held in
10 of the 11 counties in the Bth
District eligible for federal as
sistance under the terms of the
Act. They are Atkinson, Bacon,
Berrien, Coffee, Echols, Irwin,
Lanier, Pierce, Telfair and Wil
cox.
E. H. Downs, regional director
of the Economical Development
Administration, will participate
in the series along with Rep.
Tuten and members of his staff.
Rep. Tuten said the Act can
have greater effect on the eco
nomy of the Bth District than
any other piece of legislation
passed by Congress this year.
“I want to make sure every
body understands the provisions
of the Act and the procedures to
follow in filing applications,” he
said.
The Act provides grants and
loans for water, sewerage and
other public works projects, and
low-interest loans for industrial
development. To be eligible, a
municipality, county or region
must have “substantial unem
ployment or under-employment,”
according to toe regulations.
Rep. Tuten said he set up the
conferences because he wants to
do everything within the power of
his office to assure a bright eco
nomic future for the counties of
the Bth District.

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
What place does the Great
Commission as found in Matthew
28:18-20 have in the modem day
Christian's life?
The days between Christ’s res
urrection and ascension were
filled with His concern that the
Gospel should be proclaimed to
the whole world. This was the
purpose for which He had come.
On the very evening of the res
urrection as He met the dis
ciples for the first time He said,
“As my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.” John 20:21.
In Matthew we find the com
mand of Christ which has become
known as toe GREAT COMMIS
SION. Jesus is on a mountain in
Galilee with toe eleven disciples
and these final words of Christ
to them come in toe form of a
challenge to service.
Listen to Him. “All authority
hath been given unto me in hea
ven and on earth. Go ye there
fore, and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them into
the name of toe Father and of
toe Son and of the Holy Spirit;
teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I command
you; and 10, I am with you al
ways, even unto the end of the
would.” Matthew 28:18-20 ASV.
Christ was telling them —
“Make disciples!” This same
command is given to us today.
Why? First of all because He
says so. He has toe AUTHORITY
to tell us what He wants done.
No disciple with Him then doubt
ed that authority. They had lived
with Him, heard Him teach, saw
Him cast toe evil demons from
tormented bodies. They knew that
He had every right to ask them
to do whatever He wished done.
He was Christ, toe Son of the liv
ing God.
He has the authority to com
mand us to go out and reclaim
the whole world for Him because
the whole world belongs to Him—
sinful and rebellious as it is.
What is it that He is telling us
to do? “Preach the gospel to toe
whole creation.” But the first

The State School Building Au
thority is asking for bids for the
construction of the Brantley Coun
ty High School, according to a
legal advertisement in this issue
of The Enterprise.
The new county high school
will be located on Highway 84

ta. It will cost about $735,000, ac
cording to estimates of school of
ficials.
The state will provide $535,000
of the cost and the balance of
$200^)0 is provided in a county
school bond issue authorized in a
bond election last spring.
The architects for the new high
school building are Thomas-Dris
coll-Hutton of Savannah. Bidding

this firm.
The bidding proposals must be
received by the State School
Building Authority in Atlanta by
?:00 p. m. Tuesday, Jan. 18, 19-
66. ~ .
The contract, if awarded at
that time, will be on a lump sum
basis, an overall contract for the
entire high school building com
plex. ...
The Brantley County Board of
Education and Mrs. Mable Moody,
county school superintendent,
are highly gratified that the new
high school project is so far a
long the way toward realization.

A CHILD'S VIEW
Phoenix, Ari?. — Six year old
Laura Lee Dean gave these views
on the world situation at her
first day of school. “We’re fight
ing a bunch called the Viets. I
don't think the war is very good.
The good guys get killed.”
thing is to MAKE DISCIPLES.
We are to bring people to Christ
that He might become their
teacher and Saviour.
What is a disciple? Well, it is
very possible that a church mem
ber is not a disciple. It is very
possible that even though we are
able to quote Scripture and know
all the doctrines of the Church
we are not disciples.
A disciple is a learner, a fol
lower, one who has opened his
heart and mind to Christ. He may
not be able to understand all of
His truth, but He is willing to
obey all of His commandments.
To obey the command of the
Great Commission we are to
make disciples first, then baptize
them. That is, we are to lead
them to make an open confes
sion before man that they are
identifying themselves with God.
Baptism does not make one a
disciple but it is a witness to
others of an experience of death
to sin and resurrection to a new
life in Christ.
Finally, the third task is to
teach them. The teachings and
the will of God does not auto
matically become a part of the
Christian just because he con
fesses his fatih in Christ. They
must be learned and it is the
responsibility of the church to
teach them.
It is not enough to win and
baptize disciples. They must be
nurtured in the Word so that they
may grow and bring forth much
fruit.
Why did the first Christian
church move forward so rapidly?
Because they were under toe
marching orders of toe Lord Je
sus Christ and they obeyed His
command.
Just so every Christian of every
race is under these same march
ing orders. He said “All authori
ty is given unto me” and that
means toe supreme right to re
quire obedience; the right to gov
ern in heaven and on earth. It
is a command which we as His
disciples have no right not to
obey.
