Eldridge Hardware, Inc. 875 Tebeau Street Waycross, Georgia Phone 283-6923 CITY LICENSE NOTICE AT THE JANUARY MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL, A RESOLUTION WAS PASSED SETTING MARCH 15, 1970 AS THE DEADLINE FOR SECURING CITY LICENSE. PLEASE COMPLY WITH THIS RESOLUTION BY OBTAINING YOUR LICENSE BEFORE THE CLOSE OF THE ABOVE DATE AND AVOID EXTRA COSTS. T. E. Raulerson, Mayor few seconds more than two minutes. “We had a hard time de ciding what is the best place to watch the eclipse and watch people watching the eclipse,” said Producer Jagoda. He will arrive in Valdosta for advance planning the lat ter part of this week, and at the end of the month will re turn with a major staff of 25 to 35 CBS people from New York. Jagoda and Robert Wus sler, director for special e vents for CBS News, were in Valdosta in late January to look over the city and sever al designated observation sites here. Among the sites set apart for eclipse viewers are Val dosta State College Main Cam pus, North Campus, student parking lot and baseball park, the Valdosta Junior High School track, Lowndes High School campus, and the Azel ea City Industrial Park. Dr. Raymond Hunter, chair man of the Valdosta State College Physics Department, is coordinating observation plans in Valdosta, and has made arrangements for the several locations. He has been working very closely with representatives of the Val dosta Lowndes County Cham ber of Commerce in the plan ing for serious observers of the eclipse who are expected to number several thousand. According to Mr. Jagoda, a segment of the CBS eclipse show will be coming directly from the front lawn of the Valdosta State College. This CBS program will be carried live and in color to the Unit ed State, Mexico, South A merica, Canada, and Europe. It will be shown by delayed sa tellite that evening in Japan and Australia. The 20.000 member Astro nomical League named Val dosta its prime viewing site in November, after a visit by Russell Maag of St. Louis, Mo., national coordinator of Solar Eclipse Observation. News on the eclipse and the network’s live special is to be on the CBS Evening News before March 7, and ani mation on the eclipse has been prepared by network artists. An estimated 60 million peo ple will be on the path of the March 7 eclipse, and the next one of this magnitude is to be in 2186. said Maag, “and this is sort of unprecedented.’’ Amateur astronomers are particularly interested in pho tographing solar coronal streamer and coronal motion, said Maag. The corona, in laymen’s language is when the moon is directly between the earth and the sun. No one has ever photographed motion in the solar corona before, he said, though astronomers are confident motion is there. The sun is to be at its high est point, 60 degrees, when the eclipse reaches Valdosta, and this is another advant age, he said. “You are for tunate to be the area on the whole eclipse where the sun will be at its highest,” and this means less structural and atmospheric obstruction, Maag explained.

WALKER CHEVROLET COMPANY 515 TEBEAU STREET WAYCROSS, GA. 283-4250 WALKUP SEES LITTLE CHANGE IN FARM PICTURE Agriculture in the 1970’s will be in much the same posi tion it was in during the dec ade of the 60’s, says an out look and market analysis spec ialist with the Cooperative Extension Service. This is true even with the predicted changes through the next decade, adds Thcmas B. Walkup, University of Georgia. Os course, he continues, we can expect new innovations and tech nology to continue increas ing efficiency and production. “But the producer will con tinue to be in his familiar po sition of facing rising produc tion cost without much in crease in prices.” Walkup says the thought of farmers being elevated from this position through major changes in policy, price struc ture and marketing system seems fairly remote. “It would be incorrect to predict that the farmer will emerge from price cost pessures into a situation of great prosperity in the next decade. “However,” he adds, “ as we progress as a nation the farm producer will benefit al so, but to a lesser extent than other sectors of our economy.” The Extension outlook and market analysis specialist adds, however, that “changes could be quite significant in 1971.” "Your NAPA Jobber Is the right place to go" All Parts for Cars, Trucks and Tractors SMITH'S AUTO PARTS Phone 462-5177, Nahunta, Ga.
