Dear Editor:
Brantley Enterprise
Nahunta, Georgia.
We the taxpayers of America want to speak out. We are
the “ Backbone of America ”, but we have been so busy
working to pay our taxes that we never noticed how the other
classes in America have been changing things, and not for the
better.
We are the middle class. The class from which all our
better citizens have come. The class that has produced our
statesmen, ministers, teachers, judges, lawyers, doctor’s.,
Scientists and businessmen, and too our best Presidents.
In this class there are the least crimes, until lately, when
the sorry class began pushing dope to our children.
There are more crimes committed in the upper and lower
classes in America than in the middle class. The Millionaires
crimes are settled up or bought up, these are never men
tioned.
The crimes the lower class commits can not be settled
tills way so they fill our jails and prisons.
Mr. Nixon has at last been paying attention to us since
we were about to renege on taxes.
If you notice, these classes very seldom change places.
We in the middle class like our place, we do not care to cl
imb to the higher class, and we certainly don’t drop lower.
Sometimes there are some who have principle enougli to
step up higher.
The millionaires pay very little taxes. They send their
money to Swiss Banks, where they do not have to pay taxes.
The poor or lower class,, have very little on which to pay
taxes.
So we in the middle class have the burden of keeping up
our Country, but we are working up to the fact that we must
do something else or we won’t have a home or any thing
else to pay taxes on, as the other classes are selling out to
the Communist.

OIL MAKES NEWS
IN GEORGIA
Take a good look at the newspaper you’re holding. Without oil, it
might not be there.
From the film in the press camera to the rollers in the presses—today’s
newspapers depend on products that come from oil. Even the ink comes
from oil.
,To get a newspaper out takes a lot of energy too. And 75% of all our
energy comes from oil and natural gas (including 40% of our electricity).
But today, we’re using these petroleum fuels faster than we are finding
them. That’s why America faces an Energy Gap.
We're your local oil companies. Working to bridge the growing Energy
Gap. Because it shouldn’t be news to anyone that a country that runs on
oil can't afford to run short.
