Steps to reduce your risk of heart attack ery county should have at least one representative. However, since this is no longer possible, due to the rulings of the United States Supreme Court, I am hap py that the counties of Pierce and Brantley were placed in the same district. The two counties have a lot in common, including family ties, religious life, and agricul ture. In fact part of Brantley County was once a part of Pierce. I was born in Brantley County, and have lived there all my life, except for time I spent in the C.C.C. camp and the United States Navy. I am married to the former Miss Mary Bryan. We have three children and three grandchildren. In 1962, the people of Brantley County honored me by electing me State Representative. In 1964, I was reelected for another 2 year term. The reapportionment of the House of Representatives did not allow me to serve but one year to the term I was elected in 1964. While in the House of Rep resentatives, I served on the Welfare, Motor Vehicles and State Institutions and Property Commit tees. I was vice-chairman of the Sub-Committee on Juvenile Mat ters. I believe that the experience I have gained while serving as Brantley County Representative, plus the fact that I am a native born son, aware of the needs and problems of our people, amply qualifies me to serve as your representative. I promise you that I will work with all of the officials of both counties in the securing of more roads, more industry, and more services for our district. I am going to make a special effort to see each of you, and dis cuss my platform with you. If I for some reason do not get a chance to talk with you in per son, please accept this as a per sonal appeal for your vote and in fluence. Sincerely HOKE S.

STEVE NIMMER Candidate for Representative Steve Nimmer Asks Support of Pierce, Brantley County Voters To the Citizens of Pierce And Brantley Counties: This is to annouive 4iat I am offering myself as a candidate for Member of the House of Repre sentatives, District 84, Pierce and Brantley Counties, in the Democratic primary to be held Sept. 14, 1966. First let me say that both of my worthy opponents are out standing citizens in their com munities, both have served in the House of Representatives, and both have my highest respect. My purpose in offering as a candidate is in the hope that I may render a genuine service as Representative of the two coun ties in this district. I sincerely believe that in this capacity I can be of help in obtaining some of the benefits and services our a rea needs. Over 25 years ago, I selected South Georgia as the place to make my home. I have lived at Blackshear, raised a family and conducted a business there during this time. Let me say that I deeply ap preciate the friendship and the kindness that each one of you have extended to me and my fam ily during these years. I am hum bly grateful for having been able to enjoy association with so many of you in civic, community and business endeavors. I have always had to work hard for a living, so I believe I un derstand the problems of those who work with their hands and till the soil. I started my career as a laboring man, an automobile mechanic, and have been in the automotive and tractor business ever since. Your friendship and patronage have enabled me to build a business of my own, and I am grateful to you. I have raised a family of two sons and two daughters, one still being in high school and two in college. Therefore, the youth of our area have always been of special interest and inspiration to me. If elected as your Represen tative, this is an area that will be close to my heart. The edu cation and welfare of our young people must never be secondary as we plan for future progress. Since my business and liveli hood have always been directly dependent on the prosperity of the farmer, I can certainly pledge myself to work for the best in terests of farm people as Repre sentative. Preservation of our hunting, fishing and wildlife resources and their further development is an other area in which I have spe cial interest and concern. I believe I can conduct myself in such away as to benefit our two counties. I am sure I can work harmon iously with your elected local and state officials, whoever they may be. I am a Roman Catholic and a member of the St. Joseph Cath olic Church in Waycross. Os course I do not apologize for my religion any more than you would apologize for your faith or reli gious belief. The only reason this is mentioned is that I have been told some people might vote a gainst me because of my religion. I leave this up to the conscience of each individual voter. In humility I solicit your con sideration of my candidacy, and if you see fit to give me your vote and support, I will ever be grateful. Respectfully. STEVE NIMMER Candidate for Representative 7-28 CLEAN GUM, BETTER PRICES The great challenge to the naval stores industry this year, accord ing to Extension Service foresters, is the production of high grade gum. They point out that the bet ter grades of rosin are in fairly good demand. On the other hand, lower grades are moving very slowly in the market. July is 50th Anniversary of Farm Loan Act For some 20,000 people who make their living from agricultlre in Ware, Pierce, Wayne, Brantley, Glynn, Camden, Charlton and Clinch Counties, July is a month long testimony to the fact that they, and most other farmers, have turned out to be pretty good businessmen, after all. It is the 50th Anniversary of the Farm Loan Act which put farming on a business basis in the U. S. for the first time in history. Farmers at last were able to borrow money on reasonable terms and put it to work as a production tool. Hugh F. Bates, manager of the Federal Land Bank Associa tion of Waycross, said that farm ers at the turn of the century were regarded as about the poorest business risks imaginable. “No one would lend them money to operate the way a businessman must if he is going to grow and contribute to his community,” he said. “Interest rates for farm ers were twice as high as for city businessmen, and the loans were for very short terms.” “Three Presidents — Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson — studied the problems, and finally the Farm Loan Act was signed by Woodrow Wilson on July 17, 1916. This Act created the Federal Land Bank System, through which farmers could make long-term, real estate loans from their own Organizations.” The Federal Land Bank Asso ciation of Waycross was created in 1918. It is one of 46 Associations in the Federal Land Bank of Columbia District, which in turn is one of 12 Federal Land Banks that serve the 50 states. “Altogether,” Mr. Bates said, “the Federal Land Bank System nationally has loaned its farmer members more than sl2 billion. The Land Bank of Columbia has loaned farmers in the four states it serves — Florida, Georgia and the two Carolinas, S9OO million. Our own Association has loaned approximately S2O million over the 38 years it has been in busi ness.” “Not only have farmers proved to be outstandingly good loan risks — Land Bank foreclosures are almost unheard of today — but, given money to work with, they have proved to be production geniuses of a quality rarely found anywhere in American business,” Mr. Bates said. “There are half as many today as there were 50 years ago, and they’re feeding a population that has doubled in this century,” he said. “They rank among the greatest users of technology the world has ever known. Anyone who doubts it should visit a mod ern farm today.” “I don’t know of another indus try in the county that is produc ing today with 1975 methods and selling —for the most part — at 1955 prices.” Mr. Bates said that 871 farmers currently hold Land Bank loans in excess of $8 million in the 8 counties his Association serves. Most of the loans have been used to expand, improve, and modern ize farm land and equipment. Farm Safety Week Observance Set For July 24-30 National Farm Safety Week cosponsored by the National Safe ty Council and the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture will be ob served July 24-30 this year, by Presidential proclamation. “Safe ty is Victory Over Accidents” will be the theme of the week, and its purpose will be to put a new awareness of safety proce dures in the minds of the millions of people on American farms. Accidents kill more than 8,000 farm residents each year and injure an additional 700,000. This year, emphasis will be on tractor safety and promotion of the SMV emblem — slow — mov ing Vehicle. It is a triangular em blem, highly visable within 500 feet, day or night, and is intended to be used on equipment travel ing 25 miles per hour or less. Practicing safety during Nation al Farm Safety Week can create lifesaving habits throughout the year. Snails and Slugs During rainy periods of the spring and summer, snails and slugs often become a nuisance a round the home. When large num bers are present, they can severe ly injure plants in gardens, or chards, and greenhouses. As for control. Extension Service Ento mologist Rodney Coleman says cleanliness is the secret. Remove loose boards, bricks, stones, trash, and other debris that might shel ter the pests.

Stuckey to Seek District Council For Development W. S. (Bill) Stuckey, Jr., Demo cratic candidate for Congress from the Bth District, Saturday kicked off his campaign at a large rally and Bar-B-Q in Coffee County with an announcement that ground work has been laid and approved for an Bth District Development Council. The council, he said, would be made up of representatives from each of the 24 counties and each of the 5 area planning and develop ment commissions in the district and would cooperate with existing local groups and Chambers of Commerce to “raise our district from the bottom rank it now holds among the 10 districts in Georgia in terms of industries and indus trial growth. “To help finance the work this council must do to make up for the time and the hopes we have already lost, I will seek public and private contributions from others who share my concern. But in ad dition, if I am honored by serving you in Congress, I pledge to put your tax money — in the form of my own Congressional salary — back to work for the taxpayers here at home.” Stuckey also lashed out at his opponent, calling Mr. Tuten an “election-year Congressman who has suddenly decided to claim he is a latter-day conservative. “I say the people won’t be fool ed. They want to look at the re cord and they want to talk sense.”
