Newspaper Page TextBrantley County Rescue Unit 462—5007 VOLUME SO - NUMBER 32 Stay A Notion Ahead IN ENGLISH IT IS EASIER TO THINK! All languages have their questionable complications, but English is still the simplest. It even uses identical sounds, such as pare, pair, pear, which the context readily differentiates. It also uses similar archaic spellings, such as bough, cough, dough, rough, through, but these offer little difficulty. Some modernization of spelling is in order, though! All this tends to keep slightly active our telepathic ability, which we are all bom with as children. We lose this gift as we learn language, and come to depend more on words, written and spoken. An attempt to unify and simplify several languages has been Esperanto. But Esperanto has missed out on the simple declension of English nouns, made possible by just plain order in a sentence, and on the English auxiliary verbs that convey a wealth of meaning. The science of medicine has been retarded by its heavily Greek terminology. It just isn’t easy to think in Greek. And the Romans were famous for their rule of thumb engineering. We have no record of how many structures collapsed before they filled out the rule book. They were in a fix-they couldn’t figure. It took all day to handle arithmetic in Roman numerals. Those boys were excellent administrators, but for calculating they were harder put to it than the kids laboring at fifth grade math. We got a gift from the early Indians and Arabs, their system of numbers - decimal notation and the zero. This last represents nothing, yet it is a fabulous tool. In this modern day of the computer, we can see we should have limited our counting to just eight fingers, instead of ten. The binary (on off, or yes - no) system that our brain is built on, works well into numbers of base 8. Computers must convert our decimal numbers into the base 8 system to do their job, then convert back to tell us the answer. But we are in so deep with the metric and decimal systems, we’ll be abandoning our easier halves, quarters, eighths, etc., in favor of tenths, hundredths, etc. The world does drag along. Halfway around the world the Russians try to think, and come out in Cyrillic characters. The Russian mentality, while brilliant in some departments, does not match ours in some points of logic, such as how to run the world. The Chinese come out in a flood of hieroglyphics. They made early advances in science, then bogged down. And the Japanese, using similar script, were limited to being proficient imitators. That is, until they came to using English more. Since then they have blossomed out with some amazing originality and advances. The ancient legends blamed the Tower of Babel project for our multiplicity of languages. But a more modern view finds that language has no basic logic, it just grows. It works as long as it communicates ideas. Some primitive tribes have no lingual concept of time. They don’t need it. But we had to develop that concept. English is a workable language because it has been able to borrow so many new notions from other languages, and to strip the wards down to bare, and useful essentials. It is easier to think in English! Hagan Says Bill Would Boost Rural America ATLANTA (PRN) Congressman G. Elliott Hagan said today he was very pleased that the Rural Development Act Conference Report has now passed the House. Hagan stated that he has supported this legislation since it was first introduced and believes it will be quickly passed by the Senate and sent on to the President for signature. “This bill,” Hagan said, “will go a long way toward improving the economy and living conditions of our rural areas - it is a real boost for rural America. Loans and grants are provided in the bill for homes, property, water and waste disposal systems, community facilities and industrial parks. Hagan said he believes the assistance being offered to make our rural areas more attractive to industry will help provide increased employment and have the added advantage of keeping citizens from NOTICE IN ADDITION TO REGULAR BANKING HOURS THE CITIZENS BANK WILL BE OPEN FROM 9A. M. TIL 2 P. M. ON THURSDAYS FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST. Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. By F. B. Anderson migrating to the big cities. He added, “We have an urgent need for more plants to process our agricultural and forestry products right in our District and our State. This would indeed be a boost to the rural area economy.” “Another feature of the bill,” Hagan stated, “is the appropriation and apportionment of funds for rural development extension programs and rural development research and education programs. More and more trained workers are needed in agriculture. Agricultural research is needed to help develop irrigation systems that can tap the tremendous underground water supply of South Georgia. We must find more economical ways to use this water. The quality of life will indeed be enriched through this legislation and I stand ready to work with our people in securing the benefits and assistance offered.” BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE THIS WE BELIEVE! •IF YOU FIRST SUBMIT, YOU WILL LATER SURRENDER. . and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore.
