HOME SAFETY
Neat, orderly houses are
safer, more pleasant homes,
according to Willis E. Huston,
engineer with the University
of Georgia Cooperative Exten
sion Service. One way to have
a safer home is to have a place
for everything and keep items
in their place when not in use.

million tree seedlings are
available for order by Georgia
landowners, announces Ray
Shirley, director, Georgia
Forestry Commission, Macon.
Shirley states that the 20
percent increase over the 1967-

through an increase in im

seedlings. This year’s produc
tion of improved seedlings,
more than 20-. million trees, is
the largest since the Commis
sion first made the trees
available in 1964.

on salary May 1, 1965. They

tion in the office. He also
asked the Sheriff Johns if
he had any unmarked Traffic
Arrest Tickets in his Posses
sion and Sheriff Johns said
that he did, and he further
stated that when he examined
the contents of the safe he
found 76 arrest ticket books
which consist of 25 tickets
each and they were as follow
ing, 35 books not numbered,
20 books numbered and 21
books printed with the City
of Nahunta. Ga. on them in
stead of Brantley County

Bill Stuckey
In Washington
I want to take this oppor
tunity to t.iank all of the good
people of our Bth Congression
al District for the confidence
you have shown in my repre
sentation of our District in
the 90tii Congress.
Because of the confidence
which you have shown, I will
be able to spend the next few
months giving the fullest con
centration to the major issues
which confront our country
rather than spending all of
that time campaigning for re
election.
Just to briefly recap this
first year and a half of the
90th Congress, we have seen
five new Post Offices awarded
in our District and the ap
proval of 2 more. Moody Air
Force Base Hospital has a new
hospital wing. Cochran has a
new Airport. And Jekyll and
Douglas have received funds
for new extensions to their
airports. Funds were approved
in 1967 for the construction of
a new Hill-Burton Hospital in
Appling County, and we got
approval of funds this year for
an extension to the Riverside
Nursing Home in Waycross.
In the Congress we were
able to get the Peanut Allot
ment Bill passed. This legisla
tion which I co-sponsored
makes it possible for many
producers to acquire enough
peanut acreage to grow pea
nuts on a more sound econom
ic basis. This bill is of great
importance to our State and
our Sth District. It allows for
the lease, sale and transfer of
peanut acreage allotments
among farms.
During th : s Congress, we
were also ab'e to get site
location funds for the new
Waycross Federal Building
included in the Independent
Offices Aopronriations.
We have been able to ar
rive at an agreement with
the Department of The In
terior on legislation to bring
the Okefenokee Wildlife Ref
uge into the Wilderness Sys
tem. Initially, Interior had
made a proposal to bring the
Okefenokee into the Wilder
ness System including 75.000
additional acres of what was
supposed to be swamp area.
Also, there was no specific
provision in Interior’s proposal
which would guarantee the
right to fish, boat and sight
see.
Our bill, which I prepared at
the request of the Interior
Department, specifically ex
cluded the inclusion of the ad
ditional 75.000 acres of land.
Also, the bill which I have
prepared guarantees the con
tinued right to boating, fish
ing. and sightseeing. I intend
to introduce this bill at the
beginning of the 91st Con
gress.
Also, during thjs Congress

we have been able to secure
approval of the House Public
Works Committee for a new
survey to be conducted by the
Corps of Engineers of the
Satilla, St. Marys and the en
tire Suwannee River Basin.
If this new survey proves
that the cost-benefit ratio is
high enough to warrant a dam
project on the Alapaha or
other rivers and their tribu
taries, then steps can begin
toward getting these projects
underway.
Other areas of national
legislation of general interest
have been the Veterans Pen
sion Readjustment Act which
was passed last year. A major
provision of the new GI Bill
was a cost of living pension in
crease. An estimated 2,380
Bth District citizens are now
receiving nearly $134,290
additional benefits, since the
bill became effective in Oc
tober, 1967.
Another measure passed in
this Congress was a bill
affecting our senior citizens.
This was an amendment to
the present social security
law. In addition to increasing
social security benefits of our
senior citizens, this legislation
provides that a senior citizen
can now earn up to $1,680
without having his benefits
penalized. I had introduced a
measure which would allow
our senior citizens to earn up
to $3,000 before benefits were
penalized. However. I did sup
port the increase to $1,680
when it was brought before
the House, and I will reintro
duce my bill to bring the level
to $3,000 at the beginning of
the 91st Congress.
Another issue which has
been of prime concern in this
Congress has been the increase
in the rate of crime. Although
there is still a long way to go,
we were able this year to pass
a Safe Streets and Crime Con
trol Bill which will be instru
mental in returning the
needed law enforcement pow
ers to our local law enforce
ment officers.
As I mentioned, the issues
which I have just discussed,
barely scratch the surface of
the activities during this
Congress, And, there is still
a lot of work to be accom
plished before this Congress
adjourns. I appreciate the op
portunity to be able to devote
my undivided attention to the
remainder of this Congress
which is before me.
I hope that if any Bth Dis
trict citizen is not receiving
my newsletter and would like
to that you will let me hear
from you.
