During the 1970-71 STAR year, hundreds of Georgia high school seniors will be come involved in the program as each will be recognized for his outstanding academic work. On Friday, April 23, 1971, at the Marriott Motor Hotel in Atlanta, the 1971 State STAR Student will be named and at that time will receive a SSOO check from the Atlanta Gas Light Company and a trip to Great Britain via Pan American World Airways. Ad ditionally, he will be awarded the coveted STAR Statuette. During that same occasion the State STAR Teacher will be named and will receive a SSOO Sears Roebuck Founda tion Scholarship and the ALF Statuette presented by A. L- Feldman. District winners and first runner-up STAR Students in each District will also be guests of the Georgia Chamber for an eight day educational sight-seeing STAR Tour of Georgia. STAR Students are named on the basis of their scores on the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the scholastic average for the first semester of their senior year. To participate in the STAR' Program, a student must take the SAT given on either No- i vember 7, 1970 or Decembe: 5, 1970. To be eligible for consideration, grades for each part of the test must be at least equal to the latest avail able national average, and the student must be a regularly enrolled senior in one of Geor gia’s accredited public or pri vate high schools, unmarried, and in the upper ten percent scholastically of his class for the first semester of his senior year. “Beauty queens and foot ball heroes have long received honor and glory,” said Ray Mcßae, Chairman of the Chamber’s Education Council, “while outstanding scholars anti teachers have been virtu ally unrecognized until the Georgia Chamber initiated the STAR Program in 1958. STAR recognizes and promotes academic achievement, honors the teaching profession and ex plains the merits of the free enterprise system.” Ric Mandes STAR Publicity Chmn. Ga.

WEEDS COST Weeds are a lot more than unsightly. They are also costly. Experts estimate the total an nual loss due to weeds in Georgia is $lB7 million. Weed competition to field and fruit crops accounts for $96 million of this. Crossroads of Light Illumination from the “Crossroads of Light” exhibit at Henderson, N. C., forms a dramatic background behind members of the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs. The women are learning how proper lighting of streets and highways cuts down on crime and on traffic fatalities. The Georgia clubwomen have initi ated a “Light up Georgia” campaign that will be carried to city and county government officials throughout the state. General Electric Co., which maintains the nationally known “Crossroads of Light,”, was host for the Georgia clubwomen during the tour. Nations' Farmers Hold Reserve of Grain Over a billion bushels of feed grains and wheat from 1969 and prior year crops cur rently are held under Govern ment price-support loan by farmers. These farmer-owned commodities are stored both on farms and in commercial warehouses throughout the grain-producing areas. The price-support loan enables farmers who watch the market closely to pay off their loans and sell their crops at the most advantageous time for them, according to George Dykes, Chairman of the Brantley County ASC Committee. In addition, he said, 1970 crops are now being put un der price-support loan in quan tity.

But it casts money. Big money. There’s a $ 17-miliion price tag on cooling towers for Plant Bowen, our new steam-electric station on the Etowah River. These towers won’t generate one kilowatt-hour. They won’t add to efficiency or economy. Their sole purpose is to keep the river cool. Water required in the production of electricity will be pumped to the towers and cooled by natural drafts. It can then be recycled and used again. No warm water will be discharged to the river. Georgia needs power, and our job is to supply it. We believe the responsibility of a good citizen is to help preserve a healthful environment, too. Protecting water quality is only one of this company’s many conservation measures. The price may run high — but the river will run cool.

In citing the latest grain-under-loan report of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, Mr. Dykes also said that the quantities include only a part of the reserve supply of grain in the U. S. Not included are farmer-owned grains which are not under price support loans, grain stocks held by agribusiness, and Government-owned grain. To tal carryover amounts to a bout 2.5 billion bushels — more than enough to meet domestic needs and export de mands. By commodities, 1969 and prior year crops under price support loan, as of August 31, were: Corn, 443.6 million bush els; oats, 158.8 million bushels; barley 83.7 million bushels; wheat, 408.1 million bushels; and grain sorghum, 18.8 mil lion hundred weight. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, November 5, 1970 The Veteran's Corner O — May I purchase a home with a G. I. loan over the VA appraisal? A— Yes, provided you pay in cash the difference between the reasonable value determ ined by the VA and the price of the house. Q — I entered military ser vice last year before complet ing high school. When I get out of service will the VA pay me any educational allowance while I complete high school? If so, how much? A— Yes, if you have more than 180 days active service. If you are a single veteran, you will receive $Bl a month for adult evening high school or $175 a month for full-time schooling; more if you have dependents. The law entitles you to this allowance without deducting anything from your entitlement to further educa tion and training. Q — What is the age limit for recipients of benefits un der the G. I. Bill education program? A— None. Benefits are a vailable to all veterans and servicemen who qualify re gardless of their age. How ever, the law specifies that veterans and servicemen must have served after Jan. 31, 19- 55. Q — Where should I write in case my VA benefit check is not delivered on time? A— Wait long enough to be sure that the mails have clear ed, then write to the VA Re gional Office which has your claim file. Include your name, if you’re a veteran, or the de ceased veteran’s name if it is a death claim, and your claim number. Do not write to the Treasury Department because the VA will not receive your letter promptly, resulting in a delayed response. Q — I am retired from ser vice and have a service-con nected disability. Will I lose my retirement benefit if I accept VA compensation? A— Your retirement pay will be reduced by the amount of your disability compensa tion, but you will not lose any of the other benefits such as commissary, medical treat ment, etc. You .may also re tain the right to go back to your retired pay if you so choose. Q — My father is perma nently and totally disabled as a result of injury in Korea. If I marry, will I still be eligible for VA educational assistance? A— Yes. If you are other- 8 EGGCELLENT IDEAS ; By MILDRED HUFF The tune of the Merry Go Round, odiferous onions, pink cotton candy and feet shuffling through the Exhibit Halls — Fair time. But it’s a gloomy time if you’re only nine and not old enough to enter a 4-H Club project. All the “big” girls can bake cakes and enter the sewing contests. Nine year olds can only wait for next year. Unless, the County Home Economist under stands the problem and lets you enter something in your moth er’s name. That was my most clear mem ory of the West Georgia Fair. I still treasure the dusty, 3rd prize ribbon on my pound cake won — even more than all the blues and reds I won during the next 10 years. However those blue, red and white awards were not without appreciation. As an “older 4- H’er” the West Georgia Fair provided my prime source of in come. I entered every exhibit possible. Beans from the garden were canned, jelly made, soup mix concocted, cakes baked, bis cuits cut. My handmade Easter dress was pressed, the long Junior-Senior formal was tagged and entered too. If I entered every exhibit. I could usually earn S3O - SSO in prize money. If competition was stiff, my handiwork had to oe excellent in order to win. If no one else entered 2nd prize was auto matic. That yearly prize money bought much cotton candy and even some college textbooks for those of us who entered. Fairs haven’t changed too drastically in the last several । years. One can still find cotton ■ candy, ride the ferris wheel and | hear the bands in the girlie show tents. A few psychedellic colors have replaced a nit of the red, yellow, green and blue, but not so’s you’d think it wasn’t the Fair. The Southeastern Fair now sports a fish ’n chips stand be tween the eternal fried chicken and hot dog favorites. The own er says it’s his second fair. His customers seem delighted. wise eligible, your marriage will not affect your eligibility for assistance. Q — Can a veteran go to any school, or pursue any ed ucational program he desires? A— Yes, if the school’s course or program leads to a recognized educational, voca tional or professional objective, and is approved by a state-ap proving agency. Q — I cannot find my G. I. insurance policy. Does this jeo pardize my protection in any manner? A — No. Notify the Veterans Administration that the poli cy was lost, destroyed, or nev er received, and you will be issued a duplicate. Be sure to include the insurance policy number if you know it. Other wise send your full name, VA claim number, .military service number and date of birth. Q — I plan to enter college under the G. I- Bill and will be taking 16 semester hours. How much will the VA pay .me since I have no dependents ? A— If you have no depen dents and carry the full-time load you anticipate, your monthly payments will be $175 at the present rate. q — My wife has indicated an interest in serving as a hos pital volunteer worker. How ever, she can serve at only odd hours. Can this be done? A— Yes. The volunteer ser vice can use help at any hour.

Eddie always saves us a ring seat when we can get away from our egg exhibit. Speaking of exhibits, you’ve probably seen a Georgia Egg Commission exhibit at a fair nearby. We’ve been to Rome, Covington, Atlanta and Cairo telling the good egg story. If you haven’t been to the fair lately, you can get some of it’s flavor in this recipe for candied apples.

Insert wooden skewers in stem end of apples. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a heavy, deep saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring con stantly, until mixture boils. Then cook without stirring to soft crack stage (285°) or until a small amount separates into threads which are hard but not brittle when tested in very cold water. Remove from heat; add flavoring and coloring, and stir only enough to mix. Hold each apple by skewer end and quick ly twirl in syrup, tilting pan to cover apple with syrup.
