LETTER EDITOR/ Dear Editor, We just received this week's copy of the "hometown paper" and wanted to tell you how much we like the new feature "50 Years Ago." Another favorite feature are the articles on points of interest in Georgia and the articles on the history of Brantley County. We look forward to getting the " Brantley Enterprise" each week. Each improvement and added feature makes it more enjoyable. Getting the hometown paper is the next thing to being there. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Moody Tallahassee, Fla. ******************************************************* Dear Editor, We noticed with interest the new feature of Our Paper of last week—"so Years Ago." This will, no doubt, provoke memories in a few of your read ers, but amusement to many. In the article "New Church for Nahunta", mention was made in the Atkinson Charge. In 1893 my uncle, Homer L. Pearson, a young minister just out of Emory University, was sent by the South Georgia Conference to serve the Charge. Screven, Hortense, Atkinson, Waynesville and Emanuel made up that Circuit. Atkinson Church did not have a parsonage at that time so Mrs. Matilda Newsome opened her home to the pastor and his bride, who was Miss Estella Upton. Mrs. Newsome was the grandmother of Mrs. Banner Thomas and Mrs. Fred Dowling of Hoboken. We wish you the best in your endeavors. Sincerely, “iMPOnvcn” PINKC Mrs - R.D. Ihomas “IMPROVED” PINES The term “improved” applies to pine seedlings grown from selected parents. These parents were selected because of their above-average form, growth rate, disease resistance and other desirable charac teristics. George D. Walker, Extension Service forester, says the seed-producing parents are continually being tested and only the best reserved. Today all loblolly pine seedlings grown in Georgia Forestry Commission nurseries are of “improved” stock.

Rightmire Says Good Brakes Best Policy Good brakes on the family au to are the best insurance policy the motorist can have. Yet, st> ate motor vehicle inspections consistently find that one fourth to one third of the autos chec ked have some brake defect. Hydraulic brakes on today’s cars are based on the princi ple that the brake fluid used is not compressible, according to Dr. Robert Rightmire, director of auto research for BP Oil Corporation. He said when fl uid is put in a tube and push ed at one end with a plunger it pushes against the other end with an equal amount of force. Rightmire explained that wh en the driver steps on his brake pedal, he pushes against a pis ton in the Master cylinder. This cylinder, filled with hydraulic brake fluid, is the start of the hydraulic system. The piston pushes hydraulic fluid out of the cylinder and through tubes leading to wheel cylinders at ea ch wheel. In the wheel cylinders pushes against pistons which pr ess asbestos-lined brake shoes against the rotating wheel drums. “The friction of the brake sh oes against the wheel drums sl ows and stops the wheels from turning,” he said. Rightmire noted disc brakes are beginning to replace drum br cars. These use a flat, rotating disc, against which asbestos lined pads are pressed by a hy draulic cylinder. Disc brakes are NEW YEAR’S CUSTOMS New York (NAPS)—While you may raise a glass of Dewar’s and sing “Auld Lang Syne” when the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve, your Japanese counterpart may sip cola from America while singing “Otanjobi Omedeto Gozaimasu” (“Happy Birth day To You”)—for the stroke of midnight means it’s everyone’s birthday! Celebrating the first day of a new year is an age-old cus tom. Nearly all peoples have marked the coming of the year. However, the time selec ted as New Year’s Day has varied widely. The First Day has been celebrated as early as the autumnal equinox, about September 21, and as late as the summer solstice, about June 21. In most European coun tries during the Middle Ages, March 24 was the beginning of the New Year. And the Russian people, long ago, wel- comed the New Year in with Atkinson Training Club Met The Atkinson Community Training Club met January 10, 1972, in the Atkinson Meth odist Church. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Thelma Sumners. Minutes from the last meeting were read. Projects for the year were discussed and some were de cided on. It was suggested to have a recreation hour once a week for children in the At- Area Churches Plan Crusade The churches of southeast Georgia are planning an area wide Crusade for Christ with Ford Philpot and his team in May of this year. The first public gathering in preparat ion for this Crusade is a Ban quet to be held at the new to bacco warehouse on Garling ton Avenue on February 1 in Waycross, Georgia. Leaders from over 200 churches are expected to attend this Banquet and hear the plans for the Cru sade. Dr. Ford Philpot will bring the message and his musical team will present a concert in music. Chruches from all over southeast Georgia will be attending this Banquet according to Rev. Orren Simp son, Chairman of the Provis ional Committee of the Curs ade and President of the Way cross Ministerial Association. Some of the areas in which organization and participation in the Crusade are already un derway are Waycross, Douglas, Folkston, Alma, Hazlehurst, Baxley, Nahunta, Jesup, Homerville, and Blackshear. Dr. Philpot is one of the lead ing evangelists of this generat ion. He has ministered in more generally considered safer and more resistant to fading. "If the brake pedal needs to be pushed lower and lower over a period of time before the brakes grab, it’s a good indication that it’s time to have the brakes in- spected," he warned. The brakes could need adjust, ment because of normal wear of the brake linings, or there could be loss of fluid in the hydraulic system. Leaks can be spotted when the car is on a lift. Rightmire further noted that when water, oil, or grease get on the brake linings, friction is reduced, and the brakes may fa il to stop the car. Drivers shou ld test their brakes after they drive through a puddle. Wet br akes can be dried by driving slowly while holding down the pedal slightly. Oil or grease on the brake linings usually means they have to be replaced. Brake linings usually last 25, 000 to 30,000 miles. When bra ke shoes are replaced, mostser vice men recommend that wheel cylinders also be replaced or re built. Old wheel cylinders, unless reconditioned, tend to leak when used with new brake shoes, and once brake fluid leaks onto asbes tos brake linings they have to be scrapped. “Good brakes cost little to maintain,” Rightmire said, but the assurance they provide is tremendous.” AROUND THE WORLD a hundred cannon shots at midnight. In ancient China, people took a different approach to the First Day. They cleaned house, paid debts and closed their shops. Then they shot off their firecrackers . . . and who can ever forget a New Year’s in Chinatown of a big American city, with its color ful procession and fiery paper dragons breathing good cheer to everyone. Italians just consider January Ist as part of their Yuletide festival, and so revel until Twelfth Night, 12 days after Christmas. In France, New Year’s Day is so singular that adults let Christmas pass by and exchange presents on January Ist. In the United States today, celebrants fre quently toast the new year and themselves with a glass of Dewars’ “White Label’’ Scotch, a long-time favorite. kinson Neighborhood.

Mr. Phil pot has preached an average of more than one sermon a day since his conversion in 1947 as a college student. Dr. Philpot's television ser ies, "The Story", has been viewed by millions in the con tinental United States, Cana da, and Hawaii. The most re cent international door to open is a network of thirty-nine tel- evision stations in Japan. Believing that good music is a "must" for any thrust in e vangelism, Mr, Philpot has secured a musical team unex celled in the field of evange lism. According to Rev. Simpson and many other pastors of the area this Crusade should be the largest religious event ever to take place in southeast Georgia ***** Many members of the U.S. Congress work only on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays, the days the House usually takes up major business.

Neal, Jr., Area Forester with the Georgia Forestry Commission. The harvest of timber pro vides jobs and family income, helps to stabilize communities and pay taxes. Timber management also has a hand in outdoor recreation such as hunting and fishing. A poorly managed forest is not a productive forest. There is very little wildlife because of no foods. A well managed forest is a productive forest. It provides timber forwood pro ducts, food and cover for game and shade for streams. Timber harvesting practices bring an increase in available browse for game and bring forest o penings which are good wild life habitat. 4-H ELECTRONICS Electronics for commu nications is one of the 102 “learn by doing” projects offered to Georgia 4-H Club members. The program begins with fundamental electronic principles necessary to build a crystal radio. By the time a 4-H’er completes the program, he has learned about vacuum tubes, amplifiers, transistors and thermoelectricity and can build a radio voice transmitter and regenerative receiver.

RHODEN COUNTY RANGER Harvesting operations can be interesting and educational for recreation visitors and healthy growing trees will provide sett ings for camp and picnic areas needed in the future. Harvest ing also prevents a build up of hazardous trees along roads, trails and streams used by rec reation seekers. Logging roads and skid trails provide access for hunters and fishermen. Timber manage ment provides trees of all ages which assures a continuous supply of game food and habitat for cover.
