Chicken in a
Bag Is Simple
And Tasty
Brown bags are good for
lots of things, but if you have
n’t used one to cook a chick
en in, you’ve missed out on one
of their best uses.
USDA’s Consumer and Mar
keting Service reminds south
eastern homemakers that this
is a particulary economical idea
now, for broiler-fryers are in
plentiful supply and selling
at attractive prices — and you
need little more than a broiler
fryer to enjoy this chicken-in-a
bag treat.
CHICKEN-IN-A-BAG
Celery salt
Onion salt
Garlic salt
Pepper
Paprika
Sprinkle a broiler-fryer in
side and out with each of the
above. Place in a brown paper
bag (allow plenty of room for
the chicken) and twist the end
shut. Place on a rack in’ a 400
degree F. oven. Cook for an
hour and 15 minutes. There’s
no need to check the chicken
until the cooking time is up.
It’s a good idea to place a
pan on a lower rack in the
oven to catch any drippings
from the chicken. And don’t
worry — the bag won’t bum.
The chicken meat is tasty,
and you’ll have an attractive
product, so you can serve it as
is to be carved at the table —
or the seasoned chicken meat
is good in chicken' salad or a
host of other dishes.

Leaves Thursday
For Vietnam
Washington, D. C. — Con
gressman Stuckey is going to
South Vietnam for a first hand
look at the war and he has in
vited Bth District families with
relatives on the fighting front
to send messages through him.
Congressman Stuckey said
that he will leave Washington
on December 28 and travel to
South Vietnam byway of To
kyo and Hong Kong. He is due
to arrive in South Vietnam on
January 2. He expects to re
main at least five days and
may wind up in Thailand.
The Congressman will make
the trip as a member of the
House Interstate and Foreign'
Commerce Committee. The
committee has asked Stuckey
and another Congressman, Pe

the problem of international

Referring to the planned
trip, Stuckey said, “I do not
expect to become an expert
on the war in Vietnam during
a five-day trip. I am not going
to South Vietnam for that pur.

want to have more informa

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA
CAPACITY TO BE 800,000 KILOWATTS
Georgia Power to Spend
$ l5O Million on Nuclear
Plant in Appling County
Largest Single
Investment in
Georgia History
BAXLEY, GA. — Georgia
Power Company announced
December 19 it will construct
a $l5O-million nuclear-fueled
electric plant that will have a
generating capacity of 800,000
kilowatts.
Edwin I. Hatch, president of
Georgia Power, told a lunch
eon meeting of the Appling
County Chamber of Commerce
that the plant will be built o n
a 2,000-acre site, 10 miles north
of here, on the Altamaha,
Georgia’s largest river. Some
250 persons, including Gov.
Lester Maddox and other gov
ernment officials and indus
trial and civic leaders, attend
ed the announcement lunch
eon.
The contract for the plant’s
principal components has been
awarded to General Electric
Company, according to Mr.
Hatch. Georgia Power had said
in early November, when the
Southeast Georgia site was
first announced, that bids were
being considered for the state’s
first nuclear power Plant.
“There’s an excellent pros
pect for a substantial increase
in our investment at this lo
cation,” Mr. Hatch said, point
ing out that Georgia Power has
taken an option' with G- E. for
a second unit the same size.
The purchased unit’s gene
rating capacity of 800,000 kilo
watts makes it the largest
single unit on the Georgia
Power system, which covers
some 57,000 square miles of
the state.
Mr. Hatch also described the
estimated cost of $l5O million
as “half again greater than 1 our
original announcement,” which
had anticipated the possibility
of a smaller plant. And even
the original figure of SIOO mil
lion was called the largest
single industrial investment in
Georgia history.
An architect’s rendering was
unveiled which showed three
main buildings in the initial
complex. The largest will
house the nuclear reactor. Oth
er buildings will contain the
turbo-generator and adminis
trative offices.
The massive reactor building
will be of concrete and steel.
It will rise more than 100 feet
above the ground and have an
interior height of 200 feet.
“Among the requirements of
the Atomic Energy Commis
sion' for a plant of this nature
is a considerable land area for
the plant site, with ours being
principally in Appling County
and partially across the river

Appling, Toombs County Area Picked
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
AND TAX
Inside county $3.09
Outside county, in state $4.12
Outside state $4.00
in Toombs County,” Mr. Hatch
said.
“Since the plant itself will
occupy only a portion of the
total site, considerable thought
has been given to the best pos
sible use of the balance of the
land,” he added.
He said that land-use experts
are studying the large tract
and have reported that the
area is ideally suited for both
conservation and recreation.
“Our plans include cooperation
with public agencies and pri
vate groups in the wise
management of wild life and
the conservation of virgin l
forest areas,” Mr. Hatch com
mented.
Grading and other site-prep
aration activities are schedul
ed to start by early 1969, and
the plant should be in full pro
duction by 1973, according to
Mr. Hatch’s announcement.
“The work force will vary
during the different phases of
construction but at jts peak
will number between 600 and
800,” he said. “Permanent em
ployment at the completed
plant will bring to the area an
annual payroll of about $1
million.”
Participating with Georgia
Power Company in the design
of the plant are Southern
Services, Inc., a Georgia Power
affiliate, and the Bechtel Corp.,
San Francisco, leading nuclear
plant design engineers.
Consultants working on the
project are Law Engineering
Testing Co., Atlanta, specialists
on foundations; Darn^s and
Moore, Atlanta and J^-Ange
les, specialists in earth scien
ces; Pickard, Lowe and Asso
ciates, Washington, D. C.,
specialists in l siting and nu
clear fuel; Edward L. Daugh
erty, Atlanta, landscape ar
chitect, and George F. Trow
bridge, Washington, D. C., at
torney specializing in nuclear
contracts and licensing.
Georgia Power Company
will be the first member of
The Southern Company sys
tem to build a nuelear-fueled
generating plant. Other op
erating affiliates of Southern
are Alabama, Mississippi and
Gulf power companies and the
Southern Electric Generating
Company.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our
heartfelt gratitude to all our
relatives and friends for their
sympathy to us during our re
cent bereavement. For the
floral tributes and covered
dishes we are very grateful.
