In Washington
Last weekend Americans all over celebrated Independence
Day. There were celebrations, festivities and many other events
scheduled tor this important holiday—perhaps the most impor
tant holiday in the history ot America. I wonder how many of
us really took the time to sit down and contemplate the signifi
cance of the fourth ot July.
It is commonly said that we never really appreciate something
until we no longer have it. Independence, in a sense, means
freedom. We are free to work where we please, to travel, to
speak and to attend church without anyone telling us that we
cannot do this. There is a small number of people in this country
who do not stop to appreciate this fact because they are too busy
finding things wrong with our country.
1 want to ask you not to let this small minority of people give
all of us a bad name. Do not let them disrupt al] that has been
brought about through years of patience and endurance. Be proud
to be an American and lead the life of a dedicated citizen. There
is nothing in the world that beats the combination of a solid
individual and a loyal citizen.
Hopefully many of you took the time on this past weekend
to realize the s ; gnificance of freedom and the importance of
being a proud American. We have much to appreciate in our
own E ; ghth District of Georgia and we should never take it for
granted.

A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, pursuant to an
order adopted by the Board of
Commissioners of Roads and
Revenues of Brantley County
at a regular meeting on July
5, 1961, the Commissioners
have been taxing beer, wine
and liquor sold in Brantley
County; and
WHEREAS, the method of
levying such tax has been
that of requiring the whole
sale dealers to purchase and
affix tax stamps to each in
dividual container of beer,
wine and liquor; and
WHEREAS, the Board of
Commisioners is desirous of
implementing a more efficient
and effective method of levy
ing said tax: and
WHEREAS, the Board of
Commisioners is desirous of
levying a license fee upon
those wholesale and retail
beer dealers and wholesale
and retail liquor dealers do
ing business in Brantley Coun
ty;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it
resolved that the Board of
Commissioners of Brantley
County, Georgia does hereby
repeal in its entirety that cer
tain order adopted on July 5,
1961, and does hereby adopt
the following order, to-wit:
Section 1. As used in this or
der, the term “liquor” shall
mean any alcoholic beverage
containing alcohol obtained
by distillation, mixed with
water or other substance in
solution, and includes brandy,
rum, whiskey, gin, cordials,
or other spirituous liquors by
whatever name called, includ
ins hard or fortified wines as
defined by the Federal Alco
hol Administration, but shall
not include unfortified wines.
As used in this order “wine”
shall mean an alcoholic bever
age obtained from natural fer
mentation of fruit, berries,

Success
has its
drawbacks
Most everyone will agree that the member-owned
electric systems are one of the Nation's best invest
ments in progress. Organized to bring electric service,
at affordable rates, to people who could get it no
other way, we've helped make possible efficient and
productive farming . . . modern suburban neighbor
hoods . . . rural industrial growth ... to name a few
benefits . . .
Rural Electrics average, nationally, about 4 members
per mile of line — compared with about 40 consumers
along a mile of city line — and to keep rates low we've
had to manage closely . . . carefully watch expendi
tures . . . (for it is borrowed money we must repay,
with interest.) We've learned how to keep costs down
. . . introducing dollar-stretching methods which can
serve as a valuable "yardstick" for comparison of costs
of electric power distribution in other areas . . . (And
this "competition by example" benefits all users!)
But, in our success, we now have opponents to the
cooperative way of doing business who say "our job
is done" . . . "move over". Well, we believe we're
^entitled to hold on to what we have built. And it's
to your advantage that we do. For without our "yard
stick" influence electricity just might not be "the best
bargain in your family budget".

Emphysema On
The Upswing
Emphysema is one of the
fastest growing causes of death
in the United States.
The cause of the crippling
lung disease is not known. Not
yet. But clues are appearing.
An indicating finger points to
air pollution and smoking.
Recent experiments with
dogs show that those who
were trained to smoke heavily
developed emphysema. And
in America’s most polluted
city, New York, the-death rate
from the disease has risen 500
percent in the last ten years.
People who smoke and live
in polluted cities put them
selves in double jeopardy.
The symptoms of emphyse
ma—shortness of breath,
chronic cough, and a tendency
to tire easily — are often con
fused with another disease
caused by cigarette smoking
and aggravated by air pollu
tion, chronic bronchitis. But
bronchitis, which is an in
flammation of the bronchial
tubes, is subject to treatment.
There is no known cure for
emphysema.
In emohysema, the tiny air
sacs in the lungs lose their e
lasticity and tear. Although
some treatment is available,
the damage to the lungs is ir
reversible. Used air cannot be
breathed out. The heart must
work harded to pump oxygen
starved blood to needy body
tissues. Death often results
from respiratory failure or an
overtaxed heart.
Quitting smoking and clean
ing the polluted air can help
prevent emphysema.
For more information about
these and other lung disorders,
check with Georgia TB-RD
Association. 1383 Spring
Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia

breath.
We’re going to need a lot
more trees to meet the in
creasing need for wood and
wood products in the future,
reports the Southern Forest
Institute. To meet projected
wood needs by the year 2000,
the South will have to plant
another 30 million acres of
forest lands between now and
1985. That’s a land area equal
to all the forest lands now
growing in Florida and South
Carolina put together.

EGGCELLENT IDEAS
Newspaper women can come
up with some unique ideas. Mrs.
Lois W. McCrory won Ist prize
for her idea during the Georgia
Press Association Convention at
Jekyll Island. Mrs. McCrory of
Jeffersonville, Georgia, is the
pulisher, editor, reporter, fea
ture writer and delivery super
visor for the Twiggs County
New Era, the “Official Organ

ty "
She says, “A u,spo^« le a^ron
can be quickly available by
opening a newspaper!” To make
the apron tear a round hole in
one end of the opened newspa
per. Use several sheets if heavy
protection is needed, one if light
work is to be done. Put your
head through the hole and let
the paper cover you. You are
now ready for work. Finish your
job and throw away the apron.
Your dress is still spotless.
The Best Recipe Contest was
won by Mrs. Elaine Haydon,
Feature Writer for the Athens
Banner Herald. Her husband is
N. S. Hayden, the Publisher of
the Banner Herald and the
Athens Daily News.
Mrs. Hayden says this recipe
originated with her friend Mrs.
Emily Thornton, Society Editor
of the Hartwell Sun. Her family
calls it “Cherries Emily” since
it reminds them of her when
they enjoy it.
Business Careers
Popular With
Vets In College
Atlanta — Most veterans in
training under the GI Bill
seem to favor business careers,
according to Georgia Veterans
Service Director Pete Wheeler.
He said that a survey was
made of veterans who entered
college during the first three
years of the current GI BILL.
More than 50 percent of the
veterans indicated a field of
study on their applications.
Os this group, 31 percent chose
business and commerce; 14.5
percent selected the field of
education; and 11 percent
chose engineering. Agriculture,
biology, medicine, technical
courses, and social science
followed in that order.
“The study showed,” said
Wheeler, “that almost one
half of the GI college students
enrolled as freshmen, while
about one in five enrolled for
work on a Master’s or Ph.D.
degree.” The study showed al
so that the median age of vet
erans entering training was

26%. Seventy percent of
them were in their 20’s, and
8% percent were over the age
of 35. Twenty-eight percent
had completed at least one
year of college. And 99 per
cent of the veterans in train
ing were males.
“There are many Georgia
veterans who are eligible for
educational benefits,” said
Wheeler, “but too many of
these veterans are not taking
advantage of the fine oppor
tunities available to them.”
Wheeler advises all veterans to
check on the benefits at any
office of the Georgia Depart
ment of Veterans Service.
