Because of default in the

secured by a deed to secure
debt executed H. L. Middleton
to Brantley O’Quinn, dated
November 23, 1964, and re

folio 267-269, in the office of
the Clerk of the Superior
Court of Brantley County,
Georgia, the undersigned,
Brantley O’Quinn, pursuant

debt and the note there
by secured, has declared
the entire amount of said in
debtedness due and payable,
and pursuant to the power of
sale contained in said deed to
secure debt, will on the first
Tuesday in December, 1967,
during legal hours of sale, at
the courthouse door in said
County, sell at public outcry
to the highest bidder for cash,
the property described in the
deed to secure debt as follows,
to-wit:
Tract One: All that tract or

j Herman Talmadge
REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE .
I '
ONE OF THE MOST preposterous proposals relating to
firearms controls I have heard yet was recently advanced in an
editoral by the Washington Post.
There have been quite a number of gun control ideas to
come forth, but this one strikes me as the most outlandish of all.
The Post pointed with pleasure to the former New York police
commissioner who said nobody except policemen and members of
the armed forces should have the right to possess a gun of any
sort in the city. Then the Post went on to state:
“Let’s think about that for a moment. If a fellow wants
a gun for hunting or target shooting, he can keep it at
his local police station or at his gun club or at a
rifle range and have it available whenever he wants
it for a legitimate purpose.’’
This would be reminiscent of the days of the wild west
when some people had to check their guns with the sheriff
when they got to town. And of course, this didn't keep gun
slingers from robbing stagecoaches, shooting up saloons, or shoot
ing one another any more than it would today.
There arc approximately 20 million hunters and 1 million
target shooters in the United States, and based on the best
available projection there are some 50 million gun owners.
I cannot conceive how police stations could handle such
an arsenal, and I certainly do not think private gun clubs
should be burdened with such a tremendous responsibility.
Then of course you get into the proposition of who is to
be custodian of all these guns and who is to decide what a
“legitimate” use is. There are some good people who don't think
hunting is legitimate.
THE POINT IS people who want to rob and steal and
illegally use firearms will get them, by hook or crook. To
my way of thinking no amount of legislation, short of police
state tactics and perhaps not even this, will keep guns out of
criminals' hands.
The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the
Constitution, subject of course to certain limitations. Most people
who own firearms, such as hunters and outdoorsmen, are respon
sible citizens and I would certainly be against placing any onerous
or unreasonable restrictions upon them.

EGG INDUSTRY TAKES OVER AS
SOUTHEAST’S LEADING INDUSTRY
Rapid growth of the egg in
dustry in six Southeastern
states — Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, and South Carolina —is
seen as having a healthy impact
on the entire ..Southeastern
economy in an article published
recently in the Southeastern
Poultry Times.
Bylined by Ray R. Bourne, of
Packaging Corporation of
America, a firm now complet
ing a large molded pulp plant in
Macon, Ga., the article stresses
that an all-out industry empha
sis on quality is a major factor
in the egg industry’s phenome
nal growth.
The industry has given the
Southeast an economic boom
where it needs it the most—in
the rural areas, according to
Bourne.
Ten years ago, the six states
produced only 33 per cent of
the eggs needed, for consump
tion within their boundaries,
and imported the rest. Today,
the same states produce their
own needs with more than 50
per eent left over for export
Fifty per cent of the eggs
produced in the entire U.S. now
come from these six Southeast
ern states.
Bourne states that the boom
in egg production can be traced
to six major developments: 1)
larger but fewer farms.; 2) new
mechanized processes in pack
aging and packaging at produc
ing sites; 3) speeded-up distri-

bution tied to retail areas; 4)
greatly improved quality as a
natural part of growth; 5) bet
ter packaging; 6) all-out pro
motion of eggs and egg prod
ucts.
Georgia leads all the other
states in the area in egg prod
uct. Bourne credits this leader
ship in part to the decision of
Georgia producers several years
ago to tax themselves two cents
a case for education, advertis
ing, and promotion of Georgia
eggs and egg products.
Producers have come to real
ize the importance of producing
quality eggs for both the local
and national markets, through
this extensive program.
Annual sales of eggs in Geor
gia totaled $123,439,000 in
1966; in 1960 the total was $89,-
400,000; in 1956, $39,661,000.
Other states in the area also
show similar growth curves.
The egg business has come a
long way since the time when
farm wives scooped eggs up in
their aprons.
Huge, air-conditioned, egg
production centers with as
many as a million birds at one
location have made the modern
egg basket a product of ad
vanced science.
On the large farms, eggs are
gathered at least three or four
times a day. They are quickly
washed, treated with oil to seal
shell pores against air entry
and cooled to 55 degrees.

spots and other, impurities—is
done on the assembly line.. A
constant stream of eggs slide
across a conveyor which at one
point contains a strong light il
luminating the interiors of
about four dozen eggs at once.
Hand-candling is a thing of the
past.
After candling, the eggs are
re-oiled, and recooled to be
tween 42 and 48 degrees. At the
same time, packages in which
the eggs will be shipped are
cooled to the same temperature.
Delivery to area food stores
has been speeded up to 36 hours.
Careful attention to quality
control, maintains Bourne, as
well as all of the egg producers
interviewed in his article, has
played a major role in the
growth of the egg industry.
This has minimized shelf life
and given the industry a de
served reputation for reliable,
uniform high quality. New
packaging concepts also are
playing a vital role in the suc
cess of the Southeast egg in
dust.y.
Damage to eggs in transit has
been cut to almost nothing by
the use of cushion-like molded
pulp trays and retail cartons.
To meet the fast-growing de
mand for more egg packaging
materials, Packaging Corpora
tion, a major supplier, has con
structed a.54,000,000 plant in
Macon, Ga., which will begin
operations this fall.

Baxley Area
Selected for
Nuclear Plant
Georgia Power Company
has selected a site on the Al
tamaha River, about 10 miles
north of Baxley, in Southeast
Georgia, for its proposed SIOO
- nuclear-fueled electric
generating plant, Georgia
Power President Edwin I.
Hatch announced today.
Mr. Hatch said a final de
cision to construct the nuclear
plant at that site depends on
the company’s acquiring the
necessary land at a reasonable
cost and the satisfactory com
pletion of construction studies.
The utility president de
scribed the site as a 2 000-acre
tract lying along the Toombs-
Appling County line, adja
cent to U. S. Highway 1. Geor
gia Power already has much of
the site under option.
Mr. Hatch said the company
has received bids for the
plant’s principal components,
and that if, as expected, the
bids meet the economic re
auirements, a contract would
likely be awarded by the end
of the year. The exact gener
ating capacity is still undeter
mined, he added, but it is ex
pected to be between 500,000
and 800.000 kilowatts.
“Engineering studies have
been made over the past sever
al months at the Appling
County site, and those studies
have been 1 instrumental in its
selection,” Mr. Hatch said.
“Another factor is the in
creasing demand for power in
the rapidly growing southeast
ern section of the state. Also,
the Altamaha River provides
good water transportation for
getting the large components
of a nuclear reactor to the con
st-uetton site.”
While the nuclear plant
would primarily provide elec
tricitv to Southeast Georgia 1 , it
would be connected to the
company’s other generating
stations and 35.000 miles of

hunta Baptist Church. The audi
ence and the Glee Chib sang
“America”, with Mrs Carolyn
Thomas directing the Glee Club.

ments were given by Prof. A. L.
Sutton, principal of Brantley
County High School.
Mrs. Mable Moody, county
school superintendent, extended
the greetings and introduced plat
form guests.
The Glee Club, directed by Mrs.
Thomas, gave a special arrange
ment of “Dixie”.
Lonnie Sweat, a former State
Board Member, talked briefly.

the State Board of Education
from Valdosta, introduced the
main speaker, James S. Peters.
Virgil H. Allen, chairman of the
Brantley County Board of Educa
tion, led the responsive reading

Prior to the program at dedi
cation a buffet luncheon was ser
ved to the platform guests in the
main building.
The dedication was attended by
a large crowd of Brantley County
people and many visitors from
surrounding counties. A tour of
the school building and auxiliary
buildings was made after the ded
ication program was conducted.
The main building was erected
at a cost of $639,772, with J. P.
Barnard and Son of Waycross as
the contractors. Brantley Citizens
and visitors expressed surprise
and gratification at the beauty
and spaciousness of the building.
“We have come a long way
from the one-room, one-teacher
school, and I am glad of it,* one
old-timer was heard to remark.
Besides the main building the
plant has a splendid gymnasium,
a principals’s home, a caretaker’s
home, a 10,000 gallon water tank,
a large evaporation pond for sew
age, and extensive playgrounds
which are being rapidly beauti
fied and equipped.
The entire plant, besides the
furnishings, was built at. a cost
of approximately $750,000 which
