VOLUME 45 - NUMBER 27 Blueprint for Progress Drawn up For Brantley A group of citizens in Brantley County has develop ed a local “Blueprint for Pro gress”, which could lead to new economic milestones for the county. Thirty-six of the county’s citizens worked on various sub-committees to develop the Brantley County Overall Eco nomic Development Program (OEDP). The OEDP was pre pared to make the county eligible to receive special loans and grants for economic development purposes. The plan will also serve as a local blue print for economic pro gress. Several months ago Brant ley County was classified as an area eligible for assistance under the Public Works and Economic Development Act. In order to obtain financial assistance under the various programs of the Economic De velopment Administration, an Overall Economic Develop ment Program had to be de veloped for the county. Re cently the Brantley County Redevelopment Committee was formed for the purpose of de veloping the OEDP. George Brantley is Chairman of the Committee. The committee is composed of a cross section of the county and city governments, agriculture, business leaders and other representatives of the county. The Redevelop ment Committee has design ated the Brantley County In dustrial Development Corpor ation as its fiscal agent. For the purpose of develop ing the local blue-print for progress, the overall commit tee was divided into a num ber of sub-committees with each investigating a different phase of the economy of Brantley County. The OEDP was based on the information compiled by the sub-commit tees. The Overall Economic De velopment Program has been approved by the state and is now being reviewed by the Economic Development Ad ministration (EDA). When the local plan is approved by EDA, the county will be eligi ble to receive Federal assist ance in the form of loans and grants for the purpose of economic development. Low interest finances for industri al and commercial buildings, loans and grants for public facilities, and technical assist ance are available from the Economic Development Ad ministration. The Brantley County Rede velopment Committee includes the following members: George Brantley, chairman; Clinton Robinson, vice chair man; Carroll Johns, secretary; George Loyd, Jim R. Herrin, J. F. Jacobs, Eugene Wiley, Avery Strickland, J. D. Orser, Ted Strickland, Earl Rauler son, Joel Herrin, Mrs. Mable Moody, Ruth Dais, Mrs. Les ter Harrison, Don Mathie, Wayne Lee, M. L.

PATTERSON HOLDS CELEBRATION Speakers Take Patriotic Themes at July 4 Event More than 3,500 persons turned out Tuesday as Gover nor Lester G. Maddox and Congressman W. S. (Bill) Stuckey spoke at the July 4th celebration at Patterson Lions Park. Weather was ideal for the event sponsored annually by the Patterson Lions Club. The day’s activities included the speaking, followed by a barbe cue chicken supper, fireworks and a dance, as well as swim ming throughout the day. Maddox, introduced by May or Nesbert Thomas of Patter son 1 , urged his listeners to “take a stand for the princi ples represented by the Dec laration of Independence.” Citizens should “speak out, and not sit back and do noth ing,” he declared. Maddox drew frequent ap plause as he urged a “society of faith in fundamentals, states’ rights and local self government.” He also spoke against abolishing community schools, stating that much of community life revolves a round these institutions. Touching o n Supreme Court decisions, Maddox said: “We witness official approval to have our children taught Communism in school — and official denial by government to have our children led in prayer and have Bible reading at school.” iimm-mmHi^ >:;>v- :- - ;--' ^ . .BB^ tAW 5 4 h * B BL \.

Milk Price to Rise 1* Quart Atlanta — A penny per quart increase in the price of milk is scheduled for July 1, the Georgia Milk Commission has announced. The chief causes of the milk price hike are rising labor costs on the farm and in the plant and the increase of per capita income in the state, Clifton A. Ward, chairman of the commission said. The July increase will bring the price of milk in the Atlan ta area to 31 cents per quart in the store and to 32 cents for home delivery. Half gal lon prices will increase from 59 to 60 cents in the store and from 61 to 63 cents for home delivery. Milk prices are established. Ward explained, under a milk pricing formula which is pre pared by University of Geor gia economists. Economic fac tors affecting the production and processing of milk are the basis of the formula used by the economists. When a price change is indicated by the formula, the change is automatic. Births Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cook of Clio, Michigan, announce the birth of a son. The baby weighed 10 pounds two oun ces. The mother is the former Miss Linda Beth Manor.

Tobacco Vote Set July 18 WASHINGTON - Tobacco growers will vote July 18 on whether to continue the pres ent acreage-poundage control program for the 1968, 1969 and 1970 crops of flue-cured tobac co. Secretary of Agriculture Or ville L. Freeman announced the date of the referendum Monday. He announced also a marketing quote of 1,126,500,- 000 pounds for the 1968 crop. This was essentially the same as the marketing quote in ef fect the past three years. The national acreage allot ment for 1968 was set at 607,- 605 acres, about the same as this year. The acreage allotment and poundage marketing quotas for individual farms will be about the same next year as in the past three years, except for adjustments to reflect un dermarketing and overmar keting quotas this year, the department said. The acreage-poundage pro gram replaced a control pro gram based solely on acreage allotments, and Freeman said the new plan has proven its worth. About 75 per cent of the growers voting favored the newer program on 1 acreage al lotments only in a special referendum in 1965. Flue-cured tobacco is grown in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir ginia and to a small extend in Alabama.

And he often dined out in extraordinarily good com pany! As a member of the Saturday Club, founded in Boston in 1855, Dr. Holmes shared many fine meals with fellow diners, Henry Wads worth Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Adams and other great Americans. The members of this club gathered for two purposes — to discuss literature, and to honor one another with monthly banquets. Here is the menu from one of these ban quets that was given for Dr. Holmes in 1879: Littleneck clams were served as appe tizers, followed by Grilled Trout, Sauteed Cucumbers, Omelette with Mushrooms in Cream, Grilled Plover, Filet Mignon, Potatoes, Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce, and a simple Tomato and Lettuce Salad. For dessert the gentle men enjoyed Ice Cream, Strawberries, Cakes and Cos- SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND TAX Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state $4.00 The grade of tobacco and the resulting price support each grower receives under the loan program will depend on the quality of tobacco he markets, Rufus Adams, Chair man, Georgia Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion State Committee, said. Production of better quality tobacco will assure producers of a greater income, he de cared. Loan rates for the 1967 crop will range from 24 to 86 cents a pound. This support level represents an increase of about 2 percent over the 1966- crop national average support level. Increases in grade price sup ports have been made in such manner as to give an assured price support of 59.9 cents per pound to the farmer who pro duces a crop of ripe, open faced grainy tobacco equal to the average of the crops for the recent 10 years. Price sup ports on immature, tight, and slick grades of tobacco will be from 12 to 17 cents per pounds lower than for corresponding grades of mature grainy tobac co. As in the past, no price sup port will be offered on any tobacco graded N 2, NO-G, U (unsound), W (doubtful keep ing order), or scrap. However, any of these grades which are marketed will be charged against the quotas for the farms on which they were produced. The Chairman pointed out that as in past years, growers will offer their tobacco at auc tion markets in the usual man ner and price support will be made available through the Flue-Cured Tobacco Coopera tive Stabilization Corporation. A farmer who keeps his acre age within his farm acreage allotment can market up to 110 percent of the farm poundage quota with price support. Any marketings beyond 100 percent of the farm poundage quota, however, will be subtracted from next year quota. Any eligible tobacco iden tified as ‘‘discount variety” to bacco will be supported at one-half of the support rates for comparable grade of other varieties. As previously announced, price support on' all grades of untied tobacco in the tradi tionally tied areas will be available during the first 95 hours of selling time schedul ed in each belt. fee. It was a good all-amen can meal—a sampling of the abundance of native foods available from nearby farms and waters. Most of the dishes on. this menu, though quite delicious, are really very easy to pre pare. Here is the sauce recipe for Omelette with Mushrooms in Cream as Dr. Holmes en joyed it on that Saturday in Boston in 1879. % pound mushrooms 2 tablespoons butter teaspoon salt - *A teaspoon white pepper 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups cream 1 tablespoon dry sherry Mushroom Omelette — GreaU Saute sliced mushrooms in heated butter for about 5 min utes. Sprinkle in salt, pep per and flour and stir until smooth. Add cream and cook, stirring constantly until sauce bubbles and thickens.
