We have been singled out for special orders and de creeswhich have not been ap plied to the rest of the nation'.' During this past school year, teachers, students and parents in Georgia have responded ad- mirably to the trying condit- ions imposed upon them. We have sought to place the edu cation of each individual stu dent above all else. We all have recognized that our most important job is to insure that every child in Georgia, black or white, receives the best possible education. The mass ive transfer of students or te achers to achieve some arbitr- ary racial quota serves no use ful educational purpose. It diverts badly needed funds from worthwhile areas and dis rupts the lives of families and communities. For this reason, I am and always have been opposed to it." "Our President now says that he agrees. But words are ch eap.

CARTER we all are desperately seeking a workable solution to age-old problems are contemptible." "School officials are ordered to bus children and by the same administration told that fed eral funds will be available for financing all integration moves except busing." Governor Wallace of Alaba ma has taken action this past week which provides the Nixon Administration an opportunity to demonstrate its sencerityor to reveal to us all its total lack of principle. "If the President is sincere, let him place the full resources of the federal government, in cluding the Justice Department andH.E.W., behind whatever legal or administrative action is necessary to eliminate once and for all the shipping of stud ents and teachers far from their homesand friends for purposes that have absolutely nothing to do with education!' "Lethim express his apprec iation for this timely assistance and get on with the job of trans lating his speeches and cam- paign promises into concrete action," Grading part m farmers money yield Tobacco is a money crop big money—to large and small farmers. And the thing that usually determines whether or not a certain bale of tobacco receives a good price is the grade determination. Since grading tobacco is such an important part of the price determining factor, it is ne cessary that the person or persons who perform this ser vice be unbiased. For this reason, all official tobacco graders are hired and trained by the Consumer and Mar keting Service of the U.S. De partment of Agriculture.

Georgia Needs Reorganization The reorganization team has tentatively recommended cutt ing the number of budgeted agencies from 65 to 18, but they’re still studying every de tail of the plan. Agency heads and many legislatorshave made recommendations, but there’s still time to include the sugg estions of individual Georgians. Reorganization goes to the Legislature in January. We think it has merit just like it did in 1931 and should be ap proved by the General Assem bly. DEAN Jesup, Ga... State Senator Roscoe Dean, Jr., vice-chair man of the Senate Agriculture Committee and a member of the Georgia Tobacco Advisory Board, has urgently requested U.S. Senator Herman Tal madge and the Federal De partment of Agriculture, by telegram, to make an immed iate inquiry to determine if out-of-belt tobacco is being solicited for Georgia markets and thus preventing Georgia tobacco farmers from securing adequate warehouse space or an immediate sale of their tobacco. Many farmers in the Sixth Senatorial District of Georgia have reported that a great deal of their tobacco is ready for market but they are having difficulty in securing adequatewarehouse space for an immediate sale. Some Georgia tobacco already on warehouse floors will not be sold until next week. This delay will cost Georgia to bacco farmers valuable time and money. It may mean that Georgia farmerswill have to bacco left in the field which cannot be sold because the a llotted sale dayswill have ex pired and run out. If out-of belt tobacco is being openly solicited, then a Federal in vestigation is definitely in or der. Additional selling days must be granted to Georgia markets be cause of this appar ent situation. Dean isdemanding that add itional selling time be granted to Georgia tobacco farmers immediately. If additional selling time is not granted Georgia farmers, then a court injunction forcing the situat ion is definitely in order. Richard Russell was the last Governor to reorganize Georgia. In 1931 he cut the number of state agencies from 107 to 17. In the 40 years since, our pop ulation has increased 50% while the number of agencies has multiplied 1, 600%, from 17 to over 300. There are many Georgians who think it's time for another reorganization. Our State has recruited over 100 people from industry and state agencies to find away to cut the cost and size of our government. They are looking at overlapping fun ctions, duplication of services and waste of money. They're finding out facts like there are 50 different agencies involved in the area of protection of per sons and it costs our State em ployees 10 cents a mile to trav el while other states transport employees for less than six cents a mile. These graders receive this training at the Tobacco Divi sion’s training center for the flue-cured tobacco district at Raleigh, N.C. It is here that CAMS’ tobacco graders learn what characteristics deter mine the grade that a bale of tobacco will receive. Words like ripe, tight, fleshy, lean and deep take on new meanings These are just some of the words that describe quality factors in the tobacco grading system. James W. Hill, district su pervisor of the Raleigh Tob acco office noted that, "Train- THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE, NAHUNTA, GA.

In 1939, the agency started offering an intensified two-week cour se once a year to members of the tobacco industry on a first come first-served basis. And the classes generallj’ have been limited to less than 30 persons because individual in struction and participation is needed in such a course.

What kinds of people attend these classes? Well, in the class that was held this spring, there were 10 representatives from eight foreign countries (The United States exports 32 percent of the world’s to bacco production), represent atives from domestic tobacco REAP Money Due Farmers Brantley County farmers who have reported completion of approved conservation pract ices under the 1971 Rural E nvironmental Assistance Pro gram (REAP) will soon be re ceiving their cost-share pay ments, according to Dan H. Jacobs, County Executive Dir ector, Agricultural Stabilizat ion and Conservation Service (ASCS). The County ASC Committee has received auth ority to begin making the pay ments earned to date. The payments represent the Federal Government's share of the cost of carrying out approv ed soil, water, woodland and wildlife conservation practices and pollution-abatement pr- actices. Farmers participating in REAP bear the remainder of the cost ofsuch practices which often benefit the entire com - munity. REAP cost-share pay ments are designed to encour age farmers to carry out endur ing conservation and pollution abatement practices that they could not —or would not —carry out without cost-sharing assis tance. Jacobs stated that the County ASCS Office will issue and mail sight drafts to farmers who are due a cost-share payment. He also urged those who have com pleted approved practices but have not reported completion to the County ASCS Office to do so soon. SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS August 14th was the 36th anniversary of the signing of the Social Security Act, according toO.L. Pope, District Manager for Social Security. When the bill first went into effect, it protected only workers in com merce and industry. The org inal idea behind the social se curity law was to have workers save partoftheir income during their working years so they could be sure of an incdWie when they retired. Congress soon found that loss of income due to retirement was only one of the major in securities facing Americans and their families. The law was then changed so that payments could be made to dependents of re tired and deceased workers. The law was later amended to include protection for disabled workers and their families. In 1965 Congress again a mended the law to provide Medicare protection for persons 65 and over. Pope stated that over the years the law has been expanded to cover most work ing Americans. Today, nine out of ten workers and their families can expect payments at retirement, death, or dis ability, and Medicare protect ion at 65. Each month over 26 million beneficiaries get approximate ly 2 1/2 billiondollars insocial security benefits. Right here in Brantley County there are a bout 900 social security bene ficiarieswho get approximate ly $57, 000 a month. companies, an auctioneer and a warehouseman.

"Creation of a State Records Center has been recommended by a state reorganization study as one of several actions need ed to provide these savings," Governor Carter said.

"The General Assembly will be asked to pass legislation next year authorizing automatic de struction of outdated records." he said. "Records can be de stroyed now, but it is an awk ward procedure. Each depart menthead must get permission from three different state offi cials before anyrecords can be tossed out. And this permiss ion must be sought each year for the same records. It's much easierto letthe records pile up in file cabinets and that's what has been happening. For inst ance, cancelled checks dating as far back as 1943 have been found." Governor Carter also ann ounced that he has ordered a moratorium on the purchase of new file cabinets by the st ate. "The reorganization study team esteimates that some IS, 000 filing cabinets scattered instate offices throughout Geo rgia are filled with records that should be destroyed or transferr ed to a cheap storage area until the date they can be destroyed," he said. "If the state suddenly finds itself with 15,000 empty file cabinets, we shouldn't nave to buy any more for several years."
