Heads Spin Before
Income Tax Time
Bryan county residents will be
interested in an article by United
Press under a December 31 date
line concerning the inevitable in
come tax situation. Ironically,
little change, if any will be made
in the returns of wage-earners in
the lower income bracket, accord
ing to the article which will
probably cause heads to start
spinning before the usual brain
twisters of March 15.
“Taxpayers will receive an av
age 10 percent cut in personal
income taxes tomorrow.
“Social Security taxes increase
at the same time. Therefore, mil
lions of persons in lower income
brackets actually will pay more,
or about the same in taxes.
“For those in the middle income
brackets, the weekly paycheck
will be slightly fatter — from a
few cents to a few dollars.
“The tax cut will cost the treas
ury about $3,4000,000,000 for the
year. Theexcess profits tax on
business also expires Friday, and
that will cost the treasury an
additonal estimated $1,600,000,,-
000.
“How does it happen that a
personal income tax cut will mean
more total taxes for some per
sons? The answer is that the so
cial security levy on the first
$3,600 of a worker’s salary will
rise from Ila to 2 percent.
“Take a married couple with
two dependents and earning $2,-
500 a year. This couple will pay
no personal income tax. But their
social security payment will jumo
from $37.50 to SSO for the year.
“The social security tax is paid
by both employers and employees.
Beginning tomorrow each will pay
2 percent, an increase of one-half
percent. The increase will mean
less take-home pay for many.
“A married couple with two
children and having a gross in
come of $.>,000 a year now pay
$66.60 a year in income taxes and
$45 in social security taxes —a
total of $111.60. After tomorrow,'
this couple will pay S6O a year in !
income taxes and S6O in social
taxes—a total of $l2O.
“However, the picture gets
brighter for married couples with
two dependents and earning more
than $3,000 a year. A married
‘couple with two dependents and
having an income of $4,000 a year
now pay a total of $320 40 in in
come and social security taxes.
After tomorrow, they will pay a
total of $312.

News
The Christmas Holidays ended
Monday and the school took a
fine start into the New Year. We
do not have any new pupils and
we lost George and Lucille Sim^,
Doris Alford, and Lanelle New
mans.
Dr. Edwards, who lives two
miles north of the school has
opened an office in Pembroke and
will have a telephone at his resi
dence here within a few days. Dr.
Edwards is well known in the
community and we’re glad he has
decided to resume his practice of
medicine.
Mrs. Nugent Griffin, librarian,
announces the purchase of a new
set of “World Book Encyclopedia”
through the office of the County
School Superintendent.
An interesting faculty meeting
was held at the school Tuesday
afternoon. Topics that were dis
•ussed were: “Attendance” and
‘Discipline.” A film was shown,
‘Discipline in the Classroom. Also
discussed was the “March of
Limes” campaign that will get
underway within a few days. Mr.
Hurst is heading the drive in this
section, so it was decided that the
other teachers would compete
against Mr. Hurst and a group of
parents to see which group can
raise the largest amount of mon
ey. The committees do not plan to
ask for donations, although we
will accept any offered.
NO TRACE FOUND

Officer Hunts Dogs
Allegedly - Lost
In Bryan County
The following article is taken
from the Savannah Evening Press
issue of Tuesday, January 5.
“City Policeman L. E. Taylor
reported today he is holding for
claif of the owner a tick spotted
hound dog, apparently about two
years old. The owner may claim
his dog by calling Officer Taylor

at 2207 Tennessee avenue, Avon
dale.
“The dog was turned over to
Officer Taylor on Saturday by
City Policeman D. D. Wallace
after Officer Wallace was placed
in charge of the canine by two
1 boys who found him wandering on
| the street near police head-
I quarters.
"Discussing dogs Officer Taylor
said he is also very anxious that
a couple of deer dogs which be
long to hi mbe returned. He said
the dogs got away while on a
hunting trip to Bryan county and
that a man who picked them up
turned them over to a Bryan
county resident who promised to
return them to their Savannah
owner. He said he has since ques
tioned the man to whom the dogs
were allegedly given and he claim
ed he didn’t know anything about
the dogs. Officer Taylor said un
less the dogs are returned soon
he is going to swear out a war
rant against the Bryan county
man named in the report.”

The Georgia Crop Improvement
Association has approximately
125,000 bushels of certified hy
brid corn seed for 1954 planting.
Bryan county farmers are fortu
nate in having a ready supply of
these seed grown locally. These
seed have come from hybrids
which have been tested three or
more years at the Experiment
Station in this state and have
been found to be superior.
Farmers are urged to see these
hybrids for 1954 plantings and
to watch out for those ill-adapted
hybrids that have been brought
into the state.
The Georgia Department of
Agriculture has been making a
good effort to screen these out
of-state hybrids and allow only
the best ones to be sold. However,
some of these seed are still being
offered. Only those hybrids tested
by Georgia Experiment Stations
and approved for sale in Georgia
should be used.
Members of the hybrid corn
contest have used the certified
hybrids in more than 90 percent
of the cases, according to Ralph
Johnson, agronomist for the Uni-

Country House
Moves io Town
Overnight
1 Usually it’s the folks in the
1 house who do the moving. But
Tuesday a house that had been in
’ Bulloch county all its life got a
change of scenery when all seven
' rooms took off down the road
and ended up just within the city
1 limits of Pembroke on what was
formerly the Griner estate, now
7 owned by W. F. Quattlebaum,
seven miles from its original lo
cation.
The big fram house was sold
to Harold Quattlebaum by Jack
Parrish and was located in the
Bay District of Bulloch county.
Mr. and Mrs. Parrish had lived
in it until they moved to Auusta
last year. Mr. and Mrs. Quattle
' baum, who have been living in
Savannah, will move into the
‘ home when it is made ready for
occupancy, probably next week.
They are now living with Mr. and
5 Mrs. W. F. Quattlebaum, next to
’ their location, and their many
1 friends here are welcoming them
to Pembroke. Mrs. Quattlebaum is
' the former Miss Wauweese Jen
kins of Bulloch county. Mr. Quat
-2 tlebaum plans to continue in his
* job at Union Bag and Paper Cor
* poration in Savannah.
1 The moving of the rambling,
f 62-foot building created a great
deal of interest as it moved slowly
down the road and street on the
trucks of the Anderson and Shu

With Bryan County in the midst
of its 1953-54 forest tree plant
ing season, County Forest Ranger
G. B. Williams this week present
ed several planting tips for those
planning reforestation during the
coming weeks.
| “Purchase of seedlings,” he de
। dared, “represents an expenditure
j which should be safeguarded from
I loss. This can be done by propel'
' care of your planting stock. Heed
j ing the following planting tips
should mean good survival of your
forest stand.”
1. Be on the lookout for your
seedlings and accept them
promptly.
2. If seedlings are received
damaged, file claim with the car
rier and advise your County For
estry Unit of the extent of the
damage and action taken.
3. Carry the seedlings to plant
ing site without delay and “heel
in” in a cool, moist place protect
ed from sun and wind.
4. Do not let seedlings freeze
while in bales.
5. If frozen when . received,
allow to thaw just enough to sep
arate bundles. “Heel in” and
allow natural thawing in ground.
6. If planting is delayed, do not
neglect to water and otherwise
care for “heeled in” seedlings.
7. When ready to plant, be sure
to have sufficient tools and buck
ets on hand.
8. Keep roots of seedlings moist
at all times until planted.
9. Do not unnecessarily delay
or prolong planting.
10. Each shipment from a Geor-
1 gia Forestry Commission nursery
is accompanied by detailed plant-
। ing instructions. Read these in
> structions BEFORE planting and
