Bear Hunting Season to Open in Brantley County on October 29 By Dave Almand Extension Wildlife Specialist University of Georgia College of Agriculture Looking for the unusual? Then why not try bear hunt ing? The season opens on October 29 in five Georgia counties: Echols, Clinch, Ware, Charlton and Brantley. The remainder of the state is closed. Bears may be hunted by two methods — with dogs or by still hunting. Because of the large home range of the bear, dogs are definitely an asset. It is believed that the average range of the bear has a radius of about five miles, or some 80 square miles. Older males may range over a radius of 15 miles, or an area Weekly Meditation Sponsored by Blackshear Ministerial Association By Jack Arnold, Pastor, Pierce Circuit Methodist Charge LIVING IN A FOG “And immediately there fell on him a mist ...” Acts 13:11. Have you ever heard it said of a person that he lives in a fog? Such a statement is usually ap plied to one who is unaware of what is going on about him. The condition might be caused by some lack of inteUigance, or by some tragic misfortune of life or by some sublime happiness such as falling in love. Under such conditions a person may be excused if he seems to be living in a fog. Many people of adequate in telligence, in whose life there is no depressing tragedy or un usual experience of happiness, live in a fog. They do so because they have failed to be realistic about the spiritual truths of ex istence. This condition is graphically portrayed in what happened to the sorcerer Elymas of Cyprus. An administrative leader of the is land wished to hear the message BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

Os course, there is considerable overlapping of ranges between individual bears. When bears are chased by dogs they are capable of cross ing the roughest terrain. Us ually, they follow a trail — unless the dogs are “hot on the trail.” Good signs to look for when hunting bears are overturned logs and stumps that have been torn to pieces by the bear in search of grubs and insects. Another sign is claw marks on trees. Bears usually mark their home range in this fashion by standing on their hind legs and marking the trees with their forepaws. Other signs to look for are fresh tracks and “wallows.” being proclaimed by the Apostle Paul. Elymas tried to stand in the way so that the influential leader would not be exposed to the new Christian doctorine. When the eyes of Paul met the eyes of Elymas, something stran ge happened to the sorcerer. A mist, or fog, fell on him and he stayed in this condition for some time, groping around for some body to lead him. The modem American materia list also gropes around in the fog because he has resisted the truth. Political, social, and financial ad vantage mean more to him than honor, integrity, and living straight morally. So he obtains things and takes pleasure in things and obeys his whims and sinful desires all the while crushing his chance for meaningful existence and eternal knowledge. It is not necessary for any per son to live in a spiritual fog. By surrendering his life to Jesus Christ in our midst the fog will be scattered and the light of love and life will enter.

Families of Military Served By Red Cross Reporting and communica tion service is one of the major responsibilities imposed upon the Red Cross by Fed eral Statute and regulations of the Armed Forces. There are two purposes for this ser vice: To strengthen the mor ale of the men and women in the armed forces and their families at home and to pro vide military authorities with reports that will assist them to make important decisions affecting servicemen. Red Cross reports are sub mitted to the military au thorities without recommenda tion. It is function of Red Cross to obtain and report the facts; the decision on whether leave is granted, if an emergency exists, is made by the military and not by Red Cross. There has been a steady increase in this service since the expansion of military ac tion in Viet Nam and in creased quotas in Selective Services. Other services rendered by the Red Cross are counseling and guidance, assistance in ap plying for government bene fits and in some instances financial assistance will be given, based on the need and the emergency which exists. Priority for this service is within the serviceman’s de pendents or directly to him if an emergency exists which he is unable to meet. Red Cross chapters, also, cooperate with the Veteran’s Administration on behalf of Veterans and their families by providing reports, referral service, claims service, coun seling and assistance with government forms. Emergency relief, except in cases of disaster, to civilians is offered by Red Cross only after the priority of needs of members of the Armed Forces have been met. These services are met by voluntary contributions and are many times rendered by a Red Cross volunteer. That is why it is emphasized that: Red Cross is always there . . . with your help.” M. L. Dixon, manageer of radio station WBSG, is the Red Cross fund chairman in Pierce County. The drive opens Oct. 22 and will con tinue through Oct. 31.

The answer should be derived by an orderly proce dure of analyzing the family’s financial situation. This can be done by making a realistic net worth statement, which is a good thing to do each year even if you aren't considering the use of credit. Your growth jn net-worth is an indication of whether or not you are betterng your financial situa tion year by year. Your net-worth is what you own minus what you owe. The problem in making a net worth statement is in deter mining the value of property owned, some of which you may have owned a long time. There are three ways to estimate this value. One is to figure what it would cost to buy a similar item in the same condition — replacement value. Another is to estimate the number of years an item would be use ful and for each year that has passed subtract a propor tionate amount of the cost— depreciated value. A third way is to estimate the mar ket value of all items. This probably is the most difficult method to use because of price fluctuations and the tendency to be over optimistic about sales value. Your net-worth won’t fully answer the question, “should we use credit now?” because it tells little about your ability to repay the credit obtained. The second consideration be fore using credit is why in come will be available to pay off the debt. Figure carefully the income you can count on during the repayment period. Start with “take-home” pay and be sure to take a good Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $243 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state - $4.00 The Brantley Telephone Company, Inc., announces a new schedule of office hours and calls attention to their night depository service. The office will be open five days a week, from Monday through Friday, from 8:00 A. M. until 5:00 P. M. but closed one hour at noon. The telephone office will be closed all day Saturday. The depository service will be available 24 hours a day seven days a week, with en velopes available for patrons who wish to pay their phone bills. The depository is locat ed at the front of the tele phone building. Mr. Avery Strickland, own er of the telephone system, expressed appreciation for the cooperation of the public at all times and esecially during the process of expanding tele phone service to Brantley County and adjacent areas. Training Course Announced for Practical Nurses The Georgia State Employ ment Service, Located at 809 Elizabeth Street in Waycross, announces that an additional Manpowed Training class is being offered. Ashley Gold wire, manager of the local office, states that training for 20 Licensed Practical Nurses will begin late in October. Training allowances of up to S6O per week will be payable in some instances. Under the federally spon sored Manpowed Develop ment and Training Act, the training is available to unem ployed and underemployed workers. Orientation lectures and preliminary screening in terviews are being conducted at 8:30 A. M., Monday through Friday. Individuals interested in this class should report to the office at either of the specified hours as recruitment will probably be completed by October 21st. If You Subscribe To The Enterprise, You Don't Have to Hunt All Over for A Copy to Read look at what this amount of money has to cover on a cur rent basis before you decide to spend in advance of your earnings. A third consideration is your protection program for your family. What have you planned and provided for the family that will take care of emergencies that might occur? Protection might be insurance, cash reserves or items that can be converted to cash. A sound protection program may help you avoid financial trouble or disaster. A last consideration is what will the use of credit do to the family’s mode of living? Some of the questions that you should answer are: Will the use of credit in crease your income and pro vide better living now and for years ahead? How much of your “take-home” pay is already obligated? If you tie down more of this money, will it leave enough for you to live in the manner to which you are accustomed or will it put the family in a tight squeeze for everyday living expenditures? Do you need the item to be bought through credit or is * for something of fleeting interest? If you can answer all of these questions favorably and you decide to use credit (1) shop for the best credit ar rangement; (2) make the down payment as large as you can; (3) determine if you are running the rish of losing something you already own (collateral for the debt), and (4) if the use of credit will help you make the best use of your total resources. — By Lora Laine, Home Economist- Family Economics, Coopera tive Extension Service, Un iversity of Georgia.
