Project Director HOBOKEN — Diane used most of her money to buy a Christmas gift for her fiance. James used his to pay for chainsaw repairs and Wanda used some of hers to buy a new pair of shoes. The three are among 10 stu dents at Hoboken High School en rolled in an area Neighborhood Youth Corps project. For some the pay they receive for part-time work on campus is the first they have earned and the experience is new and ex citing. This Christmas was a brighter one, not only because there was extra money to spend, but be cause the job has given them a new interest in school and then own future. That’s the opinion of Mrs. Pol ly Middleton and Huey Ham, Ho boken High faculty members, and of others working with the gov ernment’s war on poverty pro ject. “I’ve noticed in their attitudes around campus and in the pride they are taking in their work,” Mrs. Middleton said. Ham agreed that as far as the students are concerned “this NYC project is the best thing the federal government has put out yet.” Mrs. Middleton is the librarian and Ham is the vocational agri culture teacher at the school. He supervises two enrollees’ work as grounds maintenance aides. His two boys have already reno vated the campus playground swings, helped with painting and with refinishing the gymnasium floor. Even during the Christmas holidays they and others have re turned to the campus to complete work assignments. They worked eight hours each of the two vaca tion weeks just as all enrollees in the project do when school is in progress. Diane, who lives on a farm near town, is a teacher aide for Mrs. Edna Strickland who has 41 third graders in her class. She spends two 50-miirute per iods a day in Mrs. Strickland’s room assisting some slow readers and helping with paper and work book grading. Enthusiastic about her NYC checks, she is also pleased with her job. “I really enjoy it every day. I like to try and help those kids and I learn a lots too,” she said NAVY AND YOU A Navy axperimental vessel, called the “Hydro stream” can skim over the surface of the water on « fUsNnn of air.

The 300 high school students now enrolled in the 9-county area of the sponsoring Slash Pine Area Planning and Development Commission are eligible for work-experience jobs because of family income. While a majority of those en rolled have family incomes of under $3,000, some are allowed to make more depending on the number of children in the fami ly- Slash Pine administers the $184,405 Economic Opportunity Act project under the supervision of the U. S. Department of La bor and in cooperation with the 24 high schools involved. The area project got underway Nov. 15 and continues until next July 30. In Georgia there are 24 multi county projects now underway with the number of counties in each ranging from four to 16. A total of 7,613 young persons ages 16 through 21 are enrolled. Samuel Luben of Atlanta is NYC project director for Geor gia and South Carolina. He visit ed Slash Pine’s Waycross head quarters recently and said he was very satisfied with initial progress made. To date federal funds allocat ed to Georgia for NYC projects have amounted to $4,548,959. Diane, James, Wanda and the others are paid $1.25 per hour. They have time cards and each has a supervisor. They must also keep up with their school studies and other school activities. Principal Andrew Sutton has no worry about their doing this. His one concern is that he doesn’t have enough enrollee quota in or der to challenge other students eligible for the project. As to challenge, Mrs. Middle ton pinpointed the value of the new jobs to the enrollees. “They know they are being paid, and they want to do their work just right,” she said. Your Home Newspaper Reflects the History Os Your County— Help Make History Mrs. Middleton Named Chairman Os Heart Fund Mrs. Emory Middleton will head the 1966 Heart Fund drive in Brantley County, it was an nounced by State Heart Fund Chairman, Ashton J. Albert. The annual campaign which supports the research, education and community activities of the Georgia Heart Association will be conducted during February. “We feel particularly fortunate that Mrs. Middleton accepted this apointment,” the state chair man said, “because it assures the success of the drive that is becoming increasingly important to everyone. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels account for more than half of all the deaths in our county and the ef fort to combat them deserves the best leadership available.” In accepting the appointment, Mrs. Middleton said, “I invite everyone in this community to participate in what I consider the most important civic endeavor of the twentieth century.” The Georgia Heart Association is the only organization in the state devoting full time to the fight against diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It sponsors a system of clinics for indigent pa tients in Georgia, supports its own program of research in Geor gia institutions and conducts in tensive programs of professional and public education, all of which depend on the Heart Fund drive for their support. Mrs. Middleton, 1966 Chairman, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. O. Smith of Nahunta and a member of the Methodist Church. She has been acitve in community affairs, serving as chairman of various committees and holding office in most of the local clubs and associations.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Georgia Farmers Make Big Increase In Production and in Total Income Make Georgia Beautiful Plans On TV Channel 8 The New Year begins in Geor gia with an anti-litter and tree planting campaign. January has been named “Make Georgia Beautiful Month.” The purpose is to encourage every citizen of the state to join in a campaign to plant ornamen tal trees and shrubs and help eli minate litter on streets and high ways. A lot of planning has gone into this month-long effort to add beauty to the State. The plans will be discussed on the Growing South program on the Georgia Educational Network next week. This program is scheduled for Thursday, January 6, at 7 p. m. Among other presentations on the Growing South program next week is the beginning of a series on “What Can Be Done in De veloping Georgia’s Resources Through Community and Area Action.” The series begins on Wednesday, January 5, at 7 p. m„ and continues each Wednes day evening through February 16. The Growing South program is televised each weekday evening, Monday through Friday, at 7 o’- clock on the Georgia Television Network.

Care of Marble Marble table tops will need a bit of extra care during the holi days, says Miss Ava Rodgers, Ex tension Service home economist. Carbonated drinks or fruit juices may etch marble surfaces over a period of time. Miss Rodgers recommends wiping the marble tops several times during the holidays with a sudsy sponge, rinsing and drying each time. Questions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON SHOULD A CHRISTIAN MAKE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS? You will not find a command ment in the Bible either to make or not make New Year’s Resolu tions. There are many questions concerning which the Bible does not give a cut and dried answer. We study the Bible as a whole for its teaching on morality, jus tice, daily living, etc. We seek to understand the overall princi ples which Christ laid down for the Christian life and then apply them to specific, modern day sit uations. So many resolutions are made to be broken. It seems a good thing to do at the time. But we know that nothing too drastic is going to happen if we break those promises which we have made to ourselves — that we are going to eat less and so lose that extra ten pounds or that we are going to turn over a new leaf and be on time everywhere we are ex pected in the new year. This is the season of inventory for business houses — the time when manager or owner of the establishment looks over his wares and decides which of them are “dogs” and should be put on the scrap heap — which ones might be salvaged — at least for their cost by marking them down for bargain hunters. He then restocks his shelves with brand new merchandise — perhaps an entirely new line — attractively packaged — so that it might appeal to the post Christ mas shopper even though his poc kets are practically empty. If the business man whose only aim is to make a profit feels that inventory taking is good prac tice and worthwhile for his busi ness, why can not we as Chris tians learn something from him? None of us believe that just by thinking and repeating over and over again, “Every day in every way I’m getting better and bet- Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state — s3.o* Outside state $3.00 This week ends the old year, 1965, and also brings to a close the first “What Can Be Done?” program. “Now we can talk about what was done,” said L. W. Eber hardt, Jr., director of the Coop erative Extension Service which carried out the program initiated in 1957 to increase Georgia’s farm income by S4OO million a year. “There is no doubt,” Mr. Eber hardt said, “but what the pro gram was a success.” During the period the state’s farm income increased $237 mil lion to a 1964 record S9BO million. Indications are that 1965 will be just as good or better than 1964. Mrs. Eberhardt believes the in crease in net income per farm is even more significant than the overall increase to Georgia’s e conomy. Income per farm climb ed from $1,593 in 1957 to $3,647 in 1964. As a part of the “What Can Be Done?” program, county agents were provided up-to-date research information and educational know-how with which to saturate the state with recommendations on the latest production-harvest ing-marketing methods. Intensifi ed programs in agronomy, fores try, livestock and other areas were carried out. These pro grams, said Mr. Eberhardt, were designed to take research infor mation from our experiment sta tions to the farm, and to en courage faster and wider adop tion of improved farm practices. "Georgia farmers made signi ficant increases in yields of ma jor crops,” Director Eberhardt said. “For example, com yields increased from 20 bushels per acre in 1957 to 51 bushels per acre in 1965. New cash crops, such as 186,000 acres of soybeans in 1965, have added to the state's overall increase in agricultural income.” SMOOTH SURFACE If you want a smooth surface on a concrete slab, use a steel trowel — but only after the wat er sheen has disappeared from the concrete. Paul A. Crawford, Jr., Extension Service engineer, says many finishers begin the steel-troweling too soon — while the sheen still is visible. ter” is going to make us so. Yet each of us in our hearts do want to be more spiritually attractive than we are. The Bible does not tell us to make New Year’s resolutions, but Paul in speaking to the church at Colossae told them how they could get rid of the out-worn — much abused merchandise in their lives — throw it on the scrap heap as it were and restock their Chris tians lives with that which was new and shining — pleasing to God. He says, “Away then with sin ful, earthly things; deaden the evil desires lurking within you, having nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust and shameful desires; don’t worship the good things of this life, for that is idolatry.” V. 5. “But now is the time to cast off and throw away these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cur sing and dirty language. Don’t tell lies to each other; it was your old life with all its wickedness that did that sort of thing; now it is dead and gone. You are liv ing a brand new kind of life that is ever learning more and more of what is right, and trying to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you.” “Be gentle and ready to for give; never hold grudges. Re member the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Most of all, let love guide your life for then the whole church will stay together in perfect har mony.” Colossions 3:8-14. Para phrased Epistles. It is impossible to make this change “on our own.” Only Christ Himself can help us to discard the worthless and add the new and beautiful to our lives. “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthenth me.” Phfllipians 4:13. “Things which are impossible with men are pos sible with God.” Luke 18:27.
