To The Citizens
Os Brantley County
I do not profess to be a
lawyer and I know little of
legal matters. I am a citizen
of this county and a tax
payer however; .my taxes is
not as much as many people
pay. We all pay our taxes in
each year as we know we
must. We then trust to the
good judgment of our elected
commissioners to spend our
money so that we receive the
best possible returns for us.
I would like to bring to
your attention a part of a law
taken from a law book avail
able to each and every citizen
of the County and, to the
County Commissioners, the
book is available in the Court
House.

Lawyer Grimes
In Race for
Justice of Peace
TO THE VOTERS OF
THE NAHUNTA DISTRICT:
As most of you know I am
a Candidate for the office of
Justice of the Peace for the
Nahunta District. I would
like at this time to express
my appreciation for the many
offers of support and the in
terest shown in my candidacy.
I can lay no claim to the
office I seek based upon some
purported birthright because it
is true I am not a lifelong
resident of Brantley County.
I am not a citizen of your
County because of birth over
which I had no control, but
instead my residence here is
a matter of choice. It is my
hope to raise my three chil
dren in a community of hon
est, upright and Christian peo
ple who put honor ahead of
self gain and moral values
above selfish interests. My
qualifications for office is the
basis of my candidacy. The
office of Justice of the Peace
is of such great importance
that the need to know the
laws surrounding its opera
tion can not be overlooked.
I promise that throughout
my campaign I shall not re
sort to back-biting, back stab
bing and mudslinging. These
are not the traits that should
belong to a person seeking the
office of judge.
I have been informed that
I must join one faction or
another or victory is impossi
ble. This I refuse to do. I
shall join no “Gang”, organi
zation or political pressure
groups. I refuse to be the
tool of King makers and their
ilk. To do so would enslave
me to such persons. If elected,
my sole obligation shall be to
the people of Brantley County.
As Justice of the Peace my
decisions shall be based on
law and with a goal for jus
tice.
When elected Justice of the
Peace it is my hope and de
sire to serve in such a manner
as to bring credit to this great
County and to help heal the
wounds caused by dissention,
hate and petty bickering. As
an attorney I well know the
legal problems to be encount
ered in a court of law. The
solution to such problems
many times is not easy but
is possible with a knowledge
of law as a guide unhindered
by political obligations.
Your vote and support will
be greatly appreciated.

Asks Re-election
As Court Clerk
TO THE VOTERS
OF BRANTLEY COUNTY:
My service in this office,
gives proof of my ability, ex
perience and qualifications to
maintain good records, with
prompt service. I am running
my campaign on the same
high level.
There are some people con
fused about the Superior
Court’s Insolvent Fund. All
money turned into the Court
is on hand in the Fund until
the next Jury Term of Court,
at which time all cash bonds
are forfeited then the money
is disbursed to its proper
places.
The money which was re
ferred to in a recent Brantley
Enterprise was money receiv
ed after September Term of
Court until the end of the
year — which was not due
to be paid out until after
January Term of Court.
DON’T BE CONFUSED A
BOUT THE CLERK’S RE
TIREMENT PLAN. THIS IS
THE LAW FROM THE RE
TIREMENT BOARD IN
CHATSWORTH, GEORGIA.
Under the law governing the
Retirement Fund, a clerk may
retire after 16 years of ser
vice, provided he is totally and
permanently disabled and re
ceive retirement benefits of
two-thirds of his average
monthly income for the last
four years of service, but not
more than $240 per month.
For example, if a clerk’s in
come average S3OO per month,
he would be entitled to S2OO
per month, or if his income
were $360 or more per month,
then he would be entitled to
the maximum benefits of $240
per month. All questions re
lating to the nature and de
gree of total and permanent
disability is determined by the
board of commissioners. There
is no minimum age limit in
case of iretirement under total
and permanent disability.
The same benefits mention
ed above would apply in case
the clerk had 20 years of ser
vice, except he would have
to be 55 years old before he
could begin receiving retire
ment benefits. If he retired
before that age, he would have
to wait until his 55th birth
day before he would begin re
ceiving his benefits.
The laws governing the Re
tirement Fund were amended
at the last session of the
General Assembly so as to
provide for retirement bene
fits for clerks with at least
16 years creditable service.
This amendment became ef
fective July 1, 1968. Under
this amendment, a clerk retir
ing with 16 years service,
without disability, would re
ceive retirement benefits of
53 113 percent of his average
monthly income for the last
four years of service, but not
more than $192 per month.
For example, a clerk whose
average monthly salary was
S3OO would be entitled to $l6O
per month. In order to qualify
for benefits under this amend
ment, a clerk could not begin
receiving benefits until age
55.
I sincerely ask you the vot
ers to give me your vote and
support in the coming elec
tion, and help me to reach this
goal, so that I may receive my
full retirement. I will ever be
grateful for your considera
tion.
Sincerely yours,
DELMA F. HERRIN.
PRACTICAL
FAMILY LIVING
Sweet potatoes are nutri
tious and universally liked.
They are a seasonal crop, be
ing most abundant from Sep
tember to February. If you
have a food freezer and|or a
pressure canner you can store
a year’s supply of these won
derful Georgia-grown sweet
potatoes.
Flavor and quality will be
better if the potatoes are cured
two to three weeks before pro
cessed. Be sure to select only
sound potatoes that are free
from disease and discoloration.
Use only stainless steel knives
and avoid the use of copper or
iron as they discolor potatoes.
A small amount of lemon
juice, citric acid or absorbic
acid will brighten the color.
You may wish to sort the
potatoes before processing.
The jumbo’s are suitable for
puree. Medium to small ones
are best for slicing. The small
to medium are excellent baked
and then frozen or they may
be canned whole.
Wash the potatoes thorough
ly in several changes of cold
water before processing.
Swset potatos may be frozen
in three ways: Sliced, baked
or pureed.
To rreeze sliced potatoes,
preheat the unpeeled potatoes
in water at 130 degrees F. for
30 minutes. Peel, cut length
wise into one-half inch slices,
blanch three minutes, cool,
package in moisture-vapor
proof rigid freezer containers,
cover with a .medium syrup,
fasten airtight, label and
freeze. *
To freeze baked potatoes,
bake the potatoes until about
three-fourths done. Cool.
Package in moisture-vapor
proof freezer containers, label
and freeze.
Puree is prepared by cook
ing the potatoes until done.
Remove peel and put through
a food mill, seive or colander.
For every five pounds of pu
reed potatoes, add one cup
heavy syrup and one table
spoon lemon juice. Cool, Pack
age in moisture-vapor-proof
rigid containers, label and
freeze
Sweet potatoes may be can
ned whole, quartered or sliced.
You may also can pureed pota
toes and sweet potato pie mix.

Parental Support
Rule Clarified
By Mrs. Turner
Only natural or adoptive
parents can be held responsi
ble for the support of depen
dent children under a new
rule promulgated by the
United States Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare, Mrs. Leila H. Turner,
Director of the Brantley
County Department of Family
and Children Services, has
announced.
This new rule, according to
Mrs. Turner, prohibits further
enforcement of the so-called
“substitute father” or “man
in-the-house” rule in determin
ing the eligibility of children
for welfare benefits under the
program of Aid to Families
with Dependent Children.
Issued in consequence of a
Ruling by the United States
Supreme Court, the new Fed
eral regulations states that the
determination of whether a
child has been deprived of pa
rental support or care by rea
son of the death, continued
absence from the home or
physical or mental incapacity
of a parent “will be made only
in relation to the child’s nat
ural or adoptive parent,” the
Brantley County Director ex
plained.
It was pointed out further
that under the new rule, step
parents cannot be required to
support stepchildren they have
not adopted unless required
to do so by State law and the
State of Georgia does not have
such a law.
“Any person believing his
or her children to be eligible
for public assistance under
this new rule is requested to
make application to • the
Brantley County Department
of Family and Children Ser
vices located in the Drury
Building,” Mrs. Turner stated.
