Newspaper Page TextBrantley County Rescue Unit 462—5007 VOLUME SO - NUMBER 47 A Voice in the Wilderness Being well aware of what an editorial is, I’ve tried my fin gerseveral times at the task with questionable results. I ha ve also tried several other me thods of bringing you a thought provoking column without much avail. A method that will be used for a period of time will be patterned after The Southeast Georgian, a weekly newspaper published in Kingsland by How ard Davis, who is an Editor that I greatly respect and admire. After this lead-off article, I will make comment on various subjects and people. There may be a quote from my close asso ciates such as, “Sam sez” or “Mack sez” etc. The column this week carr ies a message that I took from the Blackshear Times. Editor Bob Williams said he “ Stole” it from Jimmy Bennett, Editor of the Peach County Enterprise. Jimmy stole it from Bobby Branch, Editor of the Houston Home Journal and Bobby stole it from Lois Grimes of the Walton Tribune. Once upon a time there was a Little Red Hen who scratch ed about and uncovered some grains of wheat. Sie called her barnyard neighbors and said, ‘lf we work together and plant this wheat we will have some fine bread to eat. Who will help me plant the wheat?” “Not I,” said the Cow. “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Goose, “Thenl will,” said the Little Red Hen -- and she did. After the wheat started growing, the ground turned dry and there was no rain in sight. “Who will help me water the wheat?” said the Little Red Hen. “Not I,” said the Cow, “Not I,” said the Duck. “Not I,” said the Pig. “Equal rights,” said the Goose. “Thenl will,” said the Little Red Hen — and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. “Who will help me reap the wheat?” asked the Little Red Hen. “Not I,” said the Cow. “Not I,” said the Duck. “Outof my classification,” said the Pig “I’d lose my ADC,” said the Goose. 4-Hers Hold Club Banquet Seventy-three awards were presented to 4-H Club members 'and leaders at the Annual 4-H Club Banquet held Saturday ni- BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. THIS WE BELIEVE! IF YOU FIRST SUBMIT, you will LATER SURRENDER. ”. . . and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore. Ephesians6tl3,l4 “Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen -- and she did. When it came time to grind the flour, “Not I,” said the Cow. “I’d lose my unemploy ment compensation,” said the Duck. When it came time to bake the bread, “That’s overtime for me,” said the Cow. “I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the Duck. 'Td lose my welfare benefits,” said the Pig. “If I’m the only one helping, that’s dis crimination,” said the Goose. Then I will, said the Little Red Hen — and she did. She baked five loaves of fine bread and held them up for her neigh bors to see. “I want some,” said the Cow. “I want some,” said the Pig. “I demand my share,” said the Goose. “No,” said the Little Red Hen. “I can rest for a while and eat the five loaves my self.” “Excess profits,” criedthe Cow. "Capitalistic leech!” screamed the Duck. “Com pany fink,” screamed the Goose. “Equal rights,” grunted the Pig. And they hurriedly painted picket signs and marched around the Litttle Red Hen singing,, “We shall over come,” And they did. For when the Farmer came to investigate the commotion, he said, “You must not be greedy Little Red Hen. Look at the oppressed Cow. Look at the disadvantaged Duck. Look at the underprivileged Pig. Look at the less for tunate Goose. You are guilty of making second class citi zens of them! “But --but -- but I earned the bread!” said the Little Red Hen. “Exactly,” the wise Farmer said. “That is the wonderful free enterprise system anybody can earn as much as he wants. You should be happy to have this freedom. In other barnyards, you would have to give all five loaves to the Farmer. Here you give four loaves to your suffering neighbors.” And they all lived happily ever after. Including the Lit tle Red Hen, who smiled and smiled and clucked “I am grateful, I am grateful.” But her neighbors wondered why she never baked any mo re Bread. gh at the Brantley County Hi gh School.

SATILLA BRIDGE CONTRACT RE - LET The bridge contract which was let to Austin Bros, of Atlanta, several weeks ago, and who fell down on their contract, has been re-let to the Iron Arms Company. The latter will commence work so me time this week. That is the right-of-way will or is now being cut and the material will be put on the grounds within the week. This work was delayed by the former bidders for some time and it is hoped that the new contractors will not meet with any mishaps, but will sp eed the work along. Moonshining may be a pro fitable business, but we will wager a bet that most of its profits go to lawyers, to the paying- of fines and court costs. 'r Needed a little co-operation.
