Keep It Beautiful
If America hired people for the job, it would take the
largest sort of army to keep our country free of litter.
But there's no need to hire anyone. It's a job we can
do for ourselves. All of us. Every family that spreads a
picnic lunch. Every boatman who cruises the lakes and
waterways. Every motorist who uses our roads and
highways.
It is the pleasure of the U. S. Brewers Association
each year to give its fullest support to the Keep America
Beautiful Campaign. Remember: Every Litter Bit Hurts.
This is our land. Let's treat it right.

014 miles (up 29 per cent).
Total hours spent on investi
gations showed a 16 per cent
increase.
The patrol’s increased en
forcement activity likewise
was reflected in court action.
For instance, of the 32,500
cases disposed of in the courts,
which was an increase of 13
per cent, 28,112 resulted in
convictions, also a 13 per cent
increase.
MINI GARDENS
So you live in an apartment
right smack in the middle of
peoplesville! You can grow
a garden anyway. Just plant
yourself a mini garden, says
Dr. D. A. Hegwood, horticul
turist with the Cooperative
Extension Service. You will
need containers, synthetic soil
and some seeds or plants. In
terested?
Schools Have Come a Long Way
In 1916 the Georgia Department of Education
made an “Educational Survey of Wayne County,
Georgia” showing the many small schools of the
county, with pictures of the schoolhouses.
The Enterprise has secured a reprint of the
‘Survey” and will each week carry a picture of a
(now) Brantley County schoolhouse of 1916, with
description provided in the original “survey”.
It should be noted that Wayne and Brantley
counties have “come a long way” since 1916.
Brantley County has now in 1969 only three
schoolhouses the splendid new Brantley County Higl
School building, with all modern equipment and
facilities, Nahunta Elementary School and Hoboken
Elementary School. Yes, the educational system of
Brantley County has “come a long way” since 1916.

In Pucara, Peru,
the lights go on at twilight
and off at 10 p.m.
Same goes for Ayaviri, Cuyo Cuyo and Coota.
Every day of the year. Except when they flicker
and go off. Like if one person too many turns
on an iron and the whole town goes black.
But in Athens, Rome, Cairo and everywhere else
in Georgia you can count on electricity 99.9%
of the time. Even in summer when everyone is
running air conditioners, electric fans, and raiding
the refrigerator for ice cubes. Or on a cold
winter morning when thousands of coffee makers
are perking, hot showers are running, electric
blankets are making it harder to get up and
electric heating is making it easier.
We apologize for that .1%. We’re trying to close
the gap and make a perfect record. Maybe
someday we will. But until then, you can depend
on the other 99.9. And that’s a promise!
