If live insects are found, and the grain is to remain in stor age for more than another month, fumigation should be used. Brantley Tobacco Crop Heavily Damaged by Tuesday Night Deluge The tobacco crop of Brantley County farmers was severely damaged by the rains this week, climaxed by three to four inches of rain Tuesday night. It is estimated that about 40 percent of the tobacco plants in the field have been destroyed, possibly more. Tobacco in low-lying fields was the worst hit by the floods of rain Many farmers had replant ed after the cold of early spring and now the second disaster has hit their tobacco. With the high price of seed, plants, fertilizer and other costs, the tobacco farmer in Brantley County has been dealt a heavy blow. The damage to tobacco is thought to be the worst in more than 25 years.

Philip Purdom, Reporter Chemicals recovered from the pulping process when making pap er are used in the manufacture of liquid soaps and floor waxes. Candidate for Congress, Dr. Hargret Says: I will be our man in Wash ington, not Washington’s man in the Eighth District. Many people have commen ted on this statement of mine. These people have felt that all too often instead of our Con gressmen remaining our repre sentatives, when they get to Washington, they join the “Wheelers and Dealers” on Capitol Hill, and forget the people at home, who have sent them to Washington to be their representative. Thusly, the Congressman guilty of this, becomes little more than a Federal Clerk in his district, and if the pres ent administration continues on its course to take away our independence such un desirable Congressmen will become nothing more than Federal Commissars. A man is no longr worthy to sit in Congress when he forsakes his position as representative for his district and becomes the pawn of whatever occupant happens to sit in the White House. Cut Waste at Home — Save Water, Money Cut waste at home and you not only serve the cause of water conservation — but save money in the process. Accoding to the May issue of Changing Times, many areas will face water shortages this summer in spite of heavy winter and spring storms. The magazine lists these ways to save at least 350 gallons of water a week: 1. Instead of running the tap to let the water get cool every time you want a drink, keep a pitcher of water in the refrigera tor. Saving: 2-3 gallons daily. 2. Don't wash or rinse dishes in running water over an open drain. Turn water on to rinse, then shut it off. Saving 10-15 gal lons. 3. Use the automatic dishwash er only for full loads. Saving: 12- 15 gallons. 4. Don’t let the water run all the while you shave, brush your teeth or soap your hands. And don’t run it till it’s warm if you’re going to wash your hands. Saving: 3-4 gallons. 5. If you’re taking a shower, turn off water while lathering, then turn it on to rinse. Saving: 4-6 gallons. 6. If you have a “suds saver” on your automatic washer, use it. Saving: 15 gallons. 7. Repair leaky faucets and toilets. Save 4 gallons a day for each leak. 8. Use less water when you take a bath. Saving: 8-10 gallons. 9. Use a bucket of water to wash the car and a hose to rinse: Saving: 3-5 gallons.

The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, May 26, 1966 State Has $l5O Million Invested BY ANNE RAYMOND Georgia is graduating a $l5O million class this year — the larg est in its history. June graduates from the state’s 505 high schools will number 52,360 — double the number who graduated just ten years ago. In 1956, graduates num bered 25,296. The state has invested in this class $150,136,016.80 of public tax funds. This is about $2,800 per graduate. When they started to 180 days, and the four years of high school add up to 720 days, that means that every day he has spent in high school above the eighth grade is worth almost a hundred dollars to him. If he goes on to college, the figures will be even more im pressive. His lifetime earnings af ter four or more years of college wlil amount to $366,990 — another $150,000! 40% GOING TO COLLEGE Almost 40 percent of June’s graduates will go on to college. Others will enter one of the state’s area vocational-technical schools, from which one young Georgian just graduated into an SB3OO data processing job. The state has 12 of these schools open now, seven more to open in the fall, and the final two in September 1967. One of the last two, Atlanta’s, will cost $6 million and be the largest vo-tech school in the world. It will offer more than 50 courses. What about those who aren’t graduating? Somewhere there are 40,000 youngsters who won’t wear cap and gown next month, who won’t earn that additional $66,000 in their lifetime. The year the class of 1966 was in the fifth grade, there were 98,827 bright young faces in their yearbooks. The class has shrunk by more than 40,000 since then. But the picture is not all dark. Georgia school 12 years ago, the per pu pil expenditure was $l6O per pu pil. This year, as they graduate, it too, has more than doubled — to an estimated $384 per pupil. The money is well-spent, thinks State Superintendent of Schools Jack P. Nix. Each of these high school graduates can earn an a verage of $215,487 in his lifetime. That is $66,000 more than he could have earned if he had drop ped out of school in the eighth grade. Since the school year is has moved up in holding power— from last place two years ago to 47th last year. The Georgia youngsters who did stay in school to graduate re ceived a better education than any class before them. Some of the brightest were among the 400 chosen for the Governor’s Honors Program during their junior and senior high school years. This program, second one irr the na tion, was started by the State Department of Education in the PRACTICAL FAMILY LIVING From birth to death records and family papers are important and they are getting more so every day. There are some that you need at your fingertips for ready reference. There are others of a more permanent nature that you need to keep in a safe place which is fireproof. Some of these may be replaeable and others may not. A safe deposit box at a bank or a fireproof safe at home might be the answer to this need. If you rent a safe deposit box, a record of what is stored there should be kept at home. What records to keep and where and how to keep then can be one of the most important decisions a family can make. Permanent records might in clude wills, birth certificates, a doption papers, marriage certifi cates, deeds, abstracts, mort gages, notes, savings bonds, mili tary discharge papers, insurance policies, social security duplicate cards and other security instru ments. Proof of payment of debts is important, too. If the instrument was recorded at the courthouse it should be removed from record when the debt is paid but it is still important for you to keep your proof of payment until the statute of limitations releases you from any possible claim. Court house records have been known to be destroyed by catastrophe. Safe deposit boxes are probab ly the safest and perhaps the most economical way in the long run to protect these papers. It must be remembered, however, that safe deposit boxes are sealed in 1966 Grads summer of 1964. It will be re peated again this summer and possibly will become regional. guidance program The graduates have had the benefit of Georgia’s million-dollar testing, guidance and counseling program, developed during the years they have been in school. The state matches about $400,000 in federal funds for this program in high school, and adds another SIOO,OOO for a program in elemen tary schools. They have been taught by the best-prepared teachers in the state’s history. More than 95% of Georgia’s 41,000 teachers now have degrees. About 8000 of them have master’s degrees and a number have doctorates. The state’s new schools have more libraries and laboratories so that studying is more interest ing. They have had broader curri culum opportunities — the chance to take almost any subject from Russian to auto mechanics. Three fourths of them have had some lessons through educational tele vision, a field in which Georgia is a national leader. Many of these seniors have rid den to school on one of the state’s 5000 big yellow school buses. Georgia has put 12 years of free education within the reach of every child in the state, no mat ter whether he lives in the city or in the remotest rural area Most of them have gone to new, modern schools, built since the building program started in 1951 following the three-cents sales tax. Ninety-five percent of the schools being built now are air conditioned. FUNDS FROM 3 SOURCES The money for these graduates’ education came from three sources — state, local and federal funds. Georgia spent more money last year — an estimated $266,500,000 -► on education of its youth than on any other single item in the state budget. Local systems con tributed approximately $115,500,- 000 and the U. S. government, a bout $52,000,000. The state financ ed 61.4% of its educational pro gram, local systems 26.6%, and the federal government, 12%. These weeks preceding gradua tion are an exciting time —for the students, their proud parents and teachers. It’s a thrill and a challenge to some on the side lines, too, who realize with each bigger, better-educated class that Georgia is moving up in the field of education. A total of 348 Four-H Club members produced 100 or more bushels of corn per acre last year and thus qualified for membership in the Georgia 4-H 100-Bushel Corn Club, re ports Extension Service Agro nomist W. H. Gurley. at the death of the renter and there may be some delay in get ting access to the stored informa tion. Should you decide against storing any permanent record in a safe deposit box for that rea son be sure that all pertinent information about the document is stored there. Duplicate perman ent records can be obtained in many instances if you have the proper information and the need arises. Records of a less permanent type and to which you need fre quent access include income and expense records, auto title and bill of sale, cancelled checks, paid bills, tax receipts, employ ment record, guarantees, war ranties, instruction books and tax returns. This listing suggests you need a permanent file and a current file at home. Labeled folders that separate different types of infor mation will help you find what you want when you need it. The folders may be kept in a filing cabinet, a desk drawer or in a box but all should be kept to gether or at the point of use. Re cords scattered here and there tend to breed confusion and waste of time. If you would like a means for listing your important papers, ask your County Extension Home Eco nomist for a copy of the publica tion, “Record of My Important Papers and Where They Are." —By Lora Laine, Home Econo mist-Family Economics, Cooper ative Extension Service, Univer sity of Georgia. Safety Hazards Os Lawn Mowing Are Back Again With springtime came grass cutting time, and with grass-cut ting time came some safety haz ards we haven't experienced since we put the lawn mower up last fall. Hundreds of Georgians are in jured every year while mowing the lawn, according to Willis E. Huston, engineer with the Univer sity of Georgia Extension Service, and now that the grass is grow ing the first victims of the new season will begin showing up at the hospitals and clinics. Mr. Huston believes many of these accidents can be prevented, and he passed along some safety suggestions which he believes will do it — if they are followed. First, know how to disengage the clutch or stop the engine on your mower quickly. When filling the fuel tank, al low room for expansion. The heat of the sun causes gasoline to ex pand, and if fuel is spilled on a hot engine, fire can occur. Never refill the tank when the engine is hot — this can also cause fire, Mr. Huston stated. And always fill or refill our of doors — never indoors. The Extension engineer continu ed that foot protection, like wear ing safety shoes, is a good way to avoid foot injuries when using a rotary type mower. When start ing the mower, stand firmly and make sure your feet are in a safe position. Before you start to mow, in spect the lawn and remove all stones, sticks, wire, and other de bris. Even so, bystanders or pets should not be in the immediate area because rotary mowers can throw debris — which you may have missed on the inspection — and cause serious injury. Mr. Huston says you should never “be off and running” with a power mower, but should walk in step with it for good control. "If you lag behind or let the mow er pull you,” he stated, "you won’t have full command of the machine.” He suggests cutting on hills and banks sideways — not up and down. This will keep you in con trol of the mower, and will prevent your slipping into it, or it into you. Be sure to disconnect the spark plug wire or the electric plug before you start to work on the underside of the mower, the Extension worker advised. Tip the mower over by the han dle. Don’t reach under the deck, chain guards or belt guards; keep hands, feet and clothing a way from moving parts. Never try to remove any object from the mower until the motor has stopped completely. Mr. Huston warned against us ing an electrically powered mow er when the grass is wet. And even when the grass is dry be cer tain the entire mower and power cord are in perfect condition, and that the motor is properly ground ed. This final — but important — suggestion: Under no conditions should children less than teen-age or inexperienced persons — re gardless of their age — be allow ed to operate power mowers. ETV Network Will Present Program On Daylily Culture A presentation on “Daylily Cul ture” is scheduled this week on the Georgia Television Network’s Growing South program. It will be featured on Thursday, May 26, at 7 p. m. Guest for the program will be Gerald E. Smith, Extension horticulturist, Univer sity of Georgia. In planning the program, Mr. Smith said that daylilies are a mong the most satisfactory flow ering plants for Georgia gardens. A few daylilies give a lot of color for a little effort. They will grow under a wide range of situations, but this doesn’t mean they thrive on neglect, he added. On the program next week, Mr. Smith will discuss all phases of daylily culture, including soil pre paration, planting, mulching, and fertilization. CARD OF THANKS The family of Jesse T. Dub berly, Sr. would like to express our sincere thanks for your mes sages of sympathy, floral offer ings and other acts of kindness during the recent death of our loved one. May the Lord bless you.

GLADYS C. JOHNSON WHO SHOULD EAT AND DRINK OF THE LORD'S SUPPER First of all, what is the Lord’s Supper? It’s origin is found in Che 22nd chapter of Luke. It was the first day of the feast of un leavened bread when the disciples came to Jesus to ask where they should prepare for Him to eat the Passover. The Passover was an annual feast observed by the Jews in memory of their deliver ance from bondage in Egypt. Jesus gave them their instruc tions and when the even was come He sat down with the twelve disciples. It was after they had completed the eating of the Pass over that Jesus “took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after sup per, This cup is the new testa ment in my blood, which is shed for you.” Paul as he instructed the Corin thian church in the observance of the Lord’s Supper quoted Chrisl as saying, “This do in remem brance of me for as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come.” Now who was with the Lord at this Supper? His discintes — men who loved Him and belwM in Him. You say, “Wasn’t Judas there and did he not betray His Lord?" No, Judas was not there. He left the room before the Lord blessed the bread and wine. So — those who should partake of the Lord’s Supper certainly should be ONLY those who have been bom again — those who have accepted Christ as their Savior and His sacrifice on the cross for their sin. The bread and the wine, as sym- Subscription Price and Tax Inside county slsl Outside county, in state $3.09 Outside state — $3.00 Kurt Jerimiah House Jerry Allen Herrin Social Security News Q. I am 57 years old and re ceive social security disability in surance benefits. Am I eligible for Medicare benefits? A. No. Only persons age 65 or older will be eligible for health insurance benefits. Q. I am 68 years old and still working. What do I do to qualify for Medicare? A. You need to apply if you bave never applied for social se curity or railroad retirement bene fits.

It would be sacrilegious for them to eat of it. The only other condition which Christ made for the observance of this sacrament of the Church is found in I Corinthians 11:27, 28, 29. “So if anyone eats this bread and drinks from the cup of the Lord when he shouldn’t, he is guilty of sin against the body and the blood of the Lord. That is why a man should examine himself carefully before eating the bread and drinking from the cup. For if he eats the bread and drinks from the cup unworthily, not thinking about tiie body of Christ and what it means, he is eating and drink ing God’s judgment upon himself; for he is trifling with the death of Christ.” The Paraphrased Epis tles. Jesus in His wonderful sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 told His disciples that “if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there re memberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Matthew 5:23, 24. If it is so necessary for us to be right with our fellow man in order to bring a MATERIAL gift to the Lord, how much more im portant that we examine ourselves to see that our hearts are pure before God and our fellow man as we make this SPIRITUAL sacri fice to Him in the eating of the bread and drinking of the wine. This is the Lord’s Table — it does not belong to the pastor or the people. The invitation to parti pate comes from Christ Who died for our sins and the decision to partake is between the individual and his God.
