LETTER TOmE EDITOR^
'‘Brantley Enterprise
£ Nahunta, Georgia.
• Dear Editor; . . ■
.. Why must one man and his family have to endure so much ?
We have had men In office that have probably done worse,
‘yet for eight years this man has been used as an example
by a few "who can’t " admit defeat .” Yet In myopinion they
jhave defeated themselves.
To try and smear the character of a man and feel that some
dn the county are so much ” Better ” than he is makes me
’ sick. ” The most perfect and best of all characters, in my
, estimation, is his who is as ready to pardon the moral errors
of mankind as if he were every day guilty of some himself,
/and at the same time as cautious of committing a fault as if
he never forgave one”.
I’m sure there are many others that feel the same about
C.L. King and his family as I do.
Thanks

Dear Editor:
We find the political ” front ” now in winding down phase.
The rhetoric has ceased. Candidates who won now looking
forward to the next step. Assuming the place of trust, given
them by the voters.
The Thanksgiving season came and we feasted and sang
die Doxology as we counted our blessings of the year that is
closing.
We now enter the Advent season and prepare to celebrate
tiie birthday once again of our blessed Lord and Saviour
Among the many and varied joys of the Christmas seasor
is the warmth of family ties as they gather to celebrate to
gether.
” There is No Place Like Home For The Holidays,” says
the song writer, we agree with that whole • heartedly I
I notice the Julian Middletons wearing a happy smile to
day — must be about the new granddaughter •— bom to Mr,
and Mrs. Lynn Batten of Mcßae. ( Mrs. Batten the former
Laverne Middleton.)
Mr. and Mrs. Buster Thrower have been called to Mont
gomery, Alabama, due to Hines of their son-in-law Mr. Harry
Varnadore.
Recently, while visiting with my brother and famHy, Mr. and
Mrs. Emory Kizer of Fayetteville, N.C. I had the priviledge
to see some of the beautiful Tar Heel State of N.C. A drive from
Fayetteville to the Capitol city of Raleigh proved we made it
just in time to enjoy the peak of leaf color beauty. Every high
way and by-way was bordered with an array of colors that
only the Master artist could arrange.
The city of Raleigh shows the population to exceed 100,000
and is the home of six colleges and universities.
The college most appealing on this trip was ” Meredith ”
( the alma mater of my two lovely nieces, Libby and Debbie
Kizer ).
Meredith ( a girl’s college ) is sponsored by the Baptist
Church, with an enrollment of approximately 1200 students.
The 225 acre campus has an ampktheatre over looking a four
acre lake. Bryan Rotunda in the Administration Building hous
es an interesting and un-usual project of the Alumna.
Each class of graduates from 1902-1972 has dressed a doll
portraying the style of dress and hair fashions of that par
ticular era. The display ranges from hoop skirts and bust,
les to the mini-skirts and pant suits of today.
After a brief tour of the Capitol and other attractions of
the cultural city, its time to return to Fayetteville and more
hospitality in the Kizer home.
After a delicious birthday dinner for Emory’s birthday,
( I dare not say which one, however, December 3, 1917 gives
a clue ) we enjoy more chatting and discussing memories of
our family. ( many pleasant - some sad ).
Then comes the hour for ” fond fareweUs ”, to begin the
homeward journey 1
The good roads of the Palmetto State ( S.C.) leading Us
safely back to our dear old Peach State of Georgia.

FACTS YOU
SHOULD KNOW
.BOUT YOU AND
THE DRAFT
In a few days Albert will
be 18 years of age. Uhder
the Military Selective Service
Act, Albert is now required
to register with his local dr.
aft board and may do so with
in the 60 day period beglnn
ing 30 days before his 18th
birthday and ending 30 days
after he reaches 18.
Since many local boards in
Georgia are still part-time it
has been suggested that Albert
call the board office prior to
reporting for registration to
avoid any inconvenience to him,
At that time, the Executive
Secretary of the local board
will probably advise him that
he should take with him some
proper form of identification,
such as birth certificate, dr
iver’s license or credit cards.
A birth certificate is preferr
ed since it also establishes his
correct date of birth on his
Selective Service records. This
is very important since the
regulations do not allow a man
to change his date on his Se
lective Service records after
the day before the day of the
lottery drawing.
Albert will also need a So
cial Security Account Number,
proof of his correct address
and the names and addresses
of three persons other than his
Immediate family who will al
ways know his whereabouts.
Neither his parents or girl
friend may register for Al
-sert and the registration cannot
oe accomplished by telephone.
He must report in person for
the registration which takes
only a few minutes. Albert
nay register at any Selective
Service local board and the
egistration will be transferred
.0 the local board having juris
diction over his permanent ho
me.

DANGEROUS POPCORN?
During the holiday season,
many edible goodies are left in
places easily accessible to
infants and young children. A
word of caution from Univer
sity of Georgia Extension
home economists: Small
children should not be allowed
to eat small hard candies,
popcorn and nuts, because
they might get caught in a
youngster’s windpipe.

This peculiar-looking contraption goes by an even
stranger name: electrostatic precipitator. In short,
it’s a clean-air machine.
Precipitators are being built into our new power
plants. And are being updated at older ones. Their
purpose is to trap fly ash from stack gases to pre
vent its reaching the atmosphere. The process is an
interesting one involving the natural attraction of
positive and negative electrical charges.
Flue gases from the plant’s boiler (A) enter the
precipitator (B) which is composed of an alternating
series of metal plates (C) and wires (D). The moving
fly ash is charged by the high positive voltage of the
wires and then attracted to the negative charge of
the plates. At regular intervals, hammers hit the
plates forcing the fly ash to fall into a collecting
hopper (E). This procedure removes up to 99 per
cent of the dust particles.
We’ve invested some $1616 million in precipi
tators. Another $1516 million will be spent by 1976.
That’s in addition to updating older units. Even
today when million-dollar figures are bandied about,
that’s a lot of money for an investor-owned, tax
paying company to spend.
For air? Item: pure air. We think that looks
good in anybody’s ledger.
