VOLUME 44 - NUMBER 12 Fire Ant Bait Will Be Given to Property Owners in Brantley Mirex fire ant bait will be given away to Brantley County property owners in limited quantities to as sist in knocking out fire ant mounds that might appear in areas treated by the government or to assist in knocking out ant mounds around homes and in yards of those who live in areas not yet treated. The new program whereby land owners will assist the State and Federal Departments of Agricul ture in preventing or controlling new infestations was announced this week by Commissioner of Agriculture Phil Campbell. “We need the help of the local property owner to knock out those few fire ant mounds that might survive our aerial treatments,” he said, adding, “at the same time we want to do what we can to help those who live in fringe areas not yet treated by offer ing them enough fire ant bait to control the pest around their homes and in their yards until aerial operations are conducted over the property.” The bait, which can be used in complete safety, will be offered in small packages through the County Agent’s office beginning immediately. Commissioner Campbell pointed out that although the bait distri bution program will be limited to one bag per landowner this should normally be sufficient to do the job for which it is intended. “As little as a tablespoonful of Mirex fire ant bait scattered over and around a fire ant mound un der favorable weather conditions is sufficient to knock out that mound,” Campbell said. “With such a small amount of the material necessary to do the job a small package of the bait will go a long way,” he added. If any unusual circumstance where a number of ant mounds may have escaped government treatments the matter should be reported to the office where the SGT. BAGGS TOOK OVER PLATOON Dispatch from Viet Nam Tells of Blackshear Man's (From The Atlanta Constitution) Staff Sgt. Marion Baggs of Blackshear, Ga. sat under the shade of a tree in South Viet Nam and looked very weary. He had taken command of his platoon Friday after its com manding officer was shot in the ankle during a fierce fight with the remnants of a North Viet namese army regiment. “It’s quiet today,” he said, “but I’ve only got 10 men left in my platoon.” Baggs, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Baggs of Blackshear, is a career Marine. He believes, quite supply, that he has a mis sion to perform in Viet Nam. HIS CALLING “Marion doesn’t write much a bout the fighting, but he has said that he feels this is his calling and that he has a mission to per form,” his mother said Tuesday in Blackshear. “Mostly his letters deal with living conditions over there which are not good,” Mrs. Baggs said. “Marion has described how he lives in foxholes and eats and sleeps wet. “His boots stay wet until they rot off.” Sgt. Baggs has been in Viet Nam since last July and is at tached to the Third Marine Divi sion, Second Battalion. He is ex- Time Deadline Is Near for Some To Apply for Medical Insurance Almost all persons 65 and over I who get social security or rail road retirement benefits will auto matically qualify for the hospital insurance part of Health Insuran ce, commonly known as Medicare, 0. L. Pope, social security dist rict manager in Waycross has reported. But, a person will have volun tary medical insurance, which pays for doctor bills and other medical services, only if he signs up. Anyone 65 before 1966 will have medical insurance in July only if he signs up by March 31. If you are in one of the follow ing groups, time is running out. 1. Those of you 65 and over and still working need to apply if you want both hospital and medical insurance. It is not necessary for you to retire to get benefits under the health insurance program.

In announcing the program to assist local property owners in controlling the pest, Campbell em phasized that the fire ant bait is good only for the control of im ported fire ants. The material is not effective against other forms of ants or insects and for this reason should not be used in an attempt to control other such pests. “The average layman cannot tell the difference between an im ported fire ant and most any other kind of ant,” Campbell said. “The only realistic manner in which the layman can identify the imported fire ant is through the discovery of the large mounds of earth which the ants throw up in building their homes. The mounds are covered with a solid earth crust with no visible holes. If the mound is disturbed in any way, thousands of ants will come boiling out to attack whatever caused the disturbance. If the mound is broken, a myriad of tun nels will be discovered on the in side. “Only persons discovering this kind of ant mound should ask for free ant bait,” Campbell empha sized. “It would be a waste of time, money and effort to use the bait on any other kind of ant or insect. COOKING VEGETABLES Some minerals, vitamin C, and the B vitamins are soluble in water. For this reason, Extension Service home economists — nu trition, recommend cooking vege tables only until tender, and in just enough water to prevent scorching. If the water is poured down the drain, important health nutrients go with it. Part in Battle pected home the last part of May, Mrs. Baggs said. Now 29, he has been in the Ma rines since he was graduated from high school in Blakely 10 years ago. His wife, Shirleen, and their four children live in Greensboro, N. C. TELLS OF BATTLE Recalling his battle with the North Vietnamese to a New York Times reporter, Sgt. Baggs said the second platoon had been assaulted for two hours by “wave after wave” of Communist troops who finally forced the Americans to withdraw and to do something which Marines abhor — leave their dead behind. The second platoon followed a long tradition, however, by tak ing every wounded man with them although the wounded outnum bered the unhurt men by one and one half to one. NORTHEAST OF SAIGON Baggs’ platoon was part of a Marine force which reportedly accounted for 291 North Viet namese and Viet Cong since Fri day in an area about eight miles northwest of Quangngai, which is 340 miles northeast of Saigon. South Vietnamese troops associ ated with the operation, called Operation Utah, said they have killed 225 Viet Cong soldiers. 2.

The next we’re apt to freeze.” Then he looked up and his wife was reading his poem over his shoulder. He was a fast thinker and finished the poem as follows: “So sang a poet who thought he had. The picture true to life. But plain it is he ne’er had seen A woman like my wife.” The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, March 24, 1966 WSCS Holds 'Day Apart' Observance By Mrs. H. R. Fasnacht More than 120 ladies from the Waycross District Woman’s So ciety of Christian Service met at First Methodist church in Alma recently for the “Day Apart” service. Thsi day was observed in each district simultaneously throughout the conference. Mrs. Ernest Veal of Vidalia, past conference secretary of Spi ritual Life Cultivation led the group in inspiring and soul search ing meditations which were in three parts: “Seeking to Become a Witness,” “Surrendering” and “Witnessing.” The theme for the day was “The Power of Witness ing.” Mrs. Veal stated that if we are to be witnesses we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. We cannot be spectators we must be participants. Mrs. Veal stated that “When we can honestly identify ourselves in humble penitence with men ad mitting our faults and shortcom ings, and assuming our share of the responsibilities for our suffer ing and the suffering of the world; when we can meet people where we are, and we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of our hearts and let Him rule our lives, then we have surrendered our selves completely to Him.” She told the attentive group that in every persons heart is a cross or a throne and if Christ is on the throne of our hearts then we can know our lives are a living testamony and the rewards of life are measured by the life we live. Mrs. W. L. Harrison, Jr., dist rict president, gave the call to worship and led the invocation in unison. Greetings were extended by Mrs. Virgil Sweat, president of the Woman’s Society in Alma. Mrs. Harvey Johnson made the announcemtns and called attention to the impressive worship center which was symbolic of the Easter season. Mrs. H. T.

GLADYS C. JOHNSON At the Crucifixion Christ was of fered a drink. The Bible in one verse says He refused it. In anoth er, that He drank of it. Which is correct? Both statements are true. In Mark 15:23 we read, “And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he re ceived it not.” Myrrh is a gum resin used as a perfume and for embalming in the Holy Land where it grows in great abundance. The Magi brought a gift of myrrh to the Babe in Bethlehem. In Matthew 27:34 it says, "They gave him vinegar to drink mingl ed with gall; and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.” Gall has reference to some bit ter and perhaps poisonous plant. It was the custom for the Jews to give criminals who were to be crucified this stupefying drink be fore nailing them to the cross — perhaps to deaden the pain.

However, His strength came from God Himself. So in order that He might fulflil the Scriptures and drink the cup which the Father had prepared for Him, He refused to take anything to relieve His sufferings. John 19:30 tells us that “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said. It is finished; and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.” This is a different drink. Jesus “knowing that all things were now accomplished that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.” Se when the vinegar or sour wine was offered to Him, He re ceived it. Christ went to the cross suffer ing the agonies of human flesh tom by nails and pierced by thorns in order that you and I might have eternal life. May we not make His death in vain.
