Newspaper Page TextBrantley County Rescue Unit 462—5007 VOLUME 50 - NUMBER 36 A Voice in the Wilderness In the democratic system such as ours, candidates offer themselves to the people for election to public office. Candidates express themselves to the people on their own merits and the de-merits of their opp onents. Many voters take an active part in the campaign while others sit watching, looking, listening and considering. When we vote, we each do so for a parti cular reason. Some because of our strong belief in the democratic system, some be cause of the qualifications and/or demons trated performance of a candidate, some may vote for a candidate for a particular personal trait or appearance while others may vote against a candidate for the same quirk. There are those who may vote for a token. The elective process is now complete in Brantley. Let us lay aside our differences and support the winner. We had our differ ences during the political campaign but the race is complete now. Now is the time to get together and pull together, for the good of our people and our county. After taking office, support and encourage the winning candidate. They will certainly need the help of us all to do right and to do a better job for us all. We the taxpaying public want our public officials to be fair and impartial, but above all, be truthful and honest. Let us support, help and encourage them to be that way.

Caldwell, the effect of the losses would not have been so devastating if more of the victims had carried flood insurance. “Under the national flood insurance program, administered by the Federal Insurance Administrator of the Department of Housing and Urban Development,” Caldwell stated, “such coverage is available in certain areas of Georgia.” “Georgia is more vulnerable to flood damage than many other states, especially during the hurricane season,” Caldwell said. “Although the rates differ with the value and type of structure, the cost is around thirty to forty dollars a year for SIO,OOO coverage on residential structures. This is a small price to pay for the protection of our homes, small businesses and property.” Not all areas of the state have qualified for the program. “Many communities have not even applied for the program,” Caldwell went on to say, “and consequently their citizens are not able to purchase flood insurance.” HUD has informed Caldwell’s office that as of August 4, 1972, the qualified areas in Georgia were: Unincoroorated Chatham) THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE, NAHUNTA, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 7, 1972 sition where Kenny Dav is plung ed in to score from the four yard line.

Those local governmental officials concerned with land use control should contact the Federal Insurance Administrator at 451 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410 to learn how to qualify for the program. The servicing company for the national flood insurance program in Georgia is the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, but eligible Georgians should contact their local insurance agent if they wish to obtain flood insurance. “I want the people of Georgia to know that there is a means by which they may protect their homes and property from flood damage during the hurricane season,” Caldwell concluded.
