Sail Stewardship Week
Will Be Held May 19-26
The 22nd annual observa
tion of Soil Stewardship Week
will be held May 19-26 this
year. The purpose of this an
nual event is to emphasize
that conservation of our soil
and water resources is of vital
concern to all Americans.
Rural and city dwellers a
like are dependent on our
soil and water resources for
the food we eat, the water we
drink and use and most of the
clothes we wear.
If either soil or water were
to become scarce, a National
calamity could quickly follow.
This is the reason every indi
vidual has a stake in the pres
ervation of these resources.
Soil and water conservation
and preservation measures are
expensive. The people who
can perform these measures
best are the people who live
on the land. The burdensome
financial aspect of this prob
lem was recognized over 30
years ago by our National
Congress. As a result, the law
creating the Agricultural Con
servation Program was passed
in 1936.
The ACP has provided fi
nancial assistance down
through years through
cost - sharing payments to

Court Ruling Goes for
Sheriff Robert Johns
A Superior Court judge
Thursday upheld the election
of Robert W. Johns as sheriff
of Brantley County.
Judge James B. O’Connor
ruled the election was valid
and threw out charges of ir
regularities brought by Lay
ton Johns, who lost the elec
tion by a single vote.
In his ruling, Judge O’Con
nor found there was “insuffi
cient evidence to sustain
charges of irregularity or
place in doubt the result of
the election and that the re
sult was correct in declaring
farmers to help perform
needed soil and water conser
vation practices on their land.
This cost-share assistance is
approved by county ASC
committees for on-farm con
servation measures which are
considered necessary and
which will generally not be
done within the financial re
sources of the farmer making
the request.
In general, the assistance
provided by the ACP repre
sents about fifty percent of
the cost of the extent approv
ed by the county committee.
The farmer pays the balance
of the cost and, in addition,
furnishes the necessary labor
and machinery.
All counties annually devel
op a program which contains
adequate conservation prac
tices to meet the more urgent
local soil and water conserva
tion problems. Some of the 19-
67 conservation accomplish
ments in Brantley County un
der the ACP are: permanent
vegetative cover established
on 260 acres, winter and sum
mer cover seeds on 650 acres,
lime applied on 260 acres.
In performing these prac
tices Brantley County fanners
earned $17,000 dollars in ACP
cost-sharing assistance.
Methodists to
Hear Laymen
For 3 Sundays
For the next three Sundays,
between now and the session
of the South Georgia Annual
Conference in Macon June 2,
all services in the Nahunta
Methodist Church, and in the
other two churches of the Na

ducted by guest ministers and
laymen.
The minister, Rev. Leland
Moore, will be away in the
meantime, at Lake Junaluska,
North Carolina, resting and
recuperating, following a
brief illness of two or three
weeks ago. The people of
Brantley County will be very
glad to know that Rev. Moore
is out again and rapidly im
proving, and expects to be
back in Georgia by, or before',
the close of the conference
year.
In a Quarterly Conference,
held at Pierce Chapel Metho
dist Church last Sunday, it
was seen that the church activ
ities of the year now closing
will have been completed, and
that obligations of the church
es for the year will have been
met.

were recounted later and Rob
ert Johns was found the win
ner by 10 votes. He is already
serving the unexpired term
of Sheriff J. Walter Crews,
whose death in December,
caused the election to be held.
'Your Hospital - People Caring for
People' Is Hospital Week Theme
Atlanta — “Your Hospital-
People Caring for People” is
the theme of National Hospi
tal Week, May 12-18.
Pointing to the variety of
skills and services required of
the hospital personnel that
staff today’s modern hospitals,
The Georgia Hospital Associa
tion urges attention to these
“people caring for people,”
over 30,000 of whom are em
ployed in Georgia’s 200 com
munity hospitals.
GHA executive director,
Glenn M. Hogan, says “in re
cent years the public’s atten
tion has been focused on the
tremendous technological ad
vances hospitals have made in
patient care. Certainly, new
and sophisticated machines
and techniques have helped
immeasurably, but unfortun
ately it is too offer forgotten
that human hands must oper
ate the machines, and that
technology is useless without
technologists.”
Governor Lester Maddox
signed a proclamation desig
nating the week, May 12-18
as Hospital Week in Georgia.
The Governor in the procla
mation said in part: “Your
Hospital—People Caring for
People” is an apt theme for
National Hospital Week in
1968, as 12,000 Georgians daily
populate these institutions as
patients to receive the personal
services of twice that many
people.” He also recognized
the pressing need of our hos-

personnel, and urged the at
tention of Georgia’s youth to
the career opportunities avail
able in nursing, medical tech
nology, and allied paramedical
professions.
Hogan pointed out, “that in
the average community hospi
tal, the skills and knowledge
of over 200 persons are needed
to provide care for each 100
patients, and that there are
more than 200 job classifica
tions within a hospital’s walls,
ranging from accountant to
x-ray technician. “While the
personnel filling these job
classifications vary in back
ground, education and skills,”
Hogan said, “they have a com
mon goal—better patient care
—and a firm belief that a
hospital is truly people caring
for people.”
National Hospital Week, co
sponsored by The American
Hospital Association and The
Georgia Hospital Association,
is observed annually to em

role played by the more than
