SUPPORT HOME MERCHANTS In this issue of the NEWS are to be found the advertisements of many CUMMING mer chants. These merchants are, through the med ium of our paper, asking for your support. We all realize that thousands of dollars go out of‘FORSYTH COUNTY every year which should and could be spent in our community. It behooves all thinking people to consider this matter and keep as much of our money at home as possible. The idea that the slogan, “Trade at Home,” is the despairing cry of a dyying community is absurd, although there are some citizens who classify it thus. Town-boosting is an are prac ticed by those live, wide-awake communities, made so by citizens who believe in their town and support their merchants. The merchants of this county are not asking for, nor are they entitled to, “charity,” If they do not offer goods at equal prices, quality con sidered, they certainly do not expect your trade. If a local purchasers will take into consideration the service that backs up a sale made by a local business house, the immediate delivery effected, the convenient terms < ften allowed, and the emulous consideration extended, it will be plain that “buying at home” has its advantages When you buy here, thereby creating a larger demand, local merchants will be able to in crease ther stocks, thus offering a larger variety which can compete with some of the stores in the Larger cities. They cannot do this, however, until they have some assurance of general local support. We call attention to the fact that a com munity, like an individual, cannot spend its money and keep it too, but a community made up of many people who spend their money at home* can spend that money time and time again, among its own people. THE BALLOON CROSSING Four Britons rccentlj made it to Bridgetown, in the Barbados Islands, after twenty-four days over and on the Atlantic Ocean. They had de parted from the Canary Islands December 12th and arrived at Bridgetown January 6th. Alttu ugh their story is supposed to be avail able exclusively to a London newspare, it was Learned from thought-to-be- reliable sources that the four adventurers managed only about three d.yys in their balloon before they were forced to cut themselves loose and make the rest of Urnir trip on the surface of the water. St is reported that a storm threatened to blow them far too high into the sky, necessitating their descent. They are also reported to have experienced trouble by down drafts, and even il’ettisoned some equipment - according to re ports - to stay aloft at another period during their adventure. in any event, a happy ending for these four adventurers was concluded when they were pick ed up by a fishing boat out of Bridgetown and brought" safely to land after some twenty-one TV# Forevtli Cornitv N<Wf days on the sea and three days in the air. They traveled about 1,200 miles by air and more than 2,000 miles by sea. All lour had been on rations of a few ounces of food daily since December 15th, when they were picked up. So the spirit of adventure is not dead, even though a successful balloon crossing has not been managed. Mother Nature, it seems, still has a few tricks up her sleeve as far as adven turers are concerned. It is symbolic, in a way, that it is still about as difficult to cross the ocean in a balloon as it is to send a rocket to the moon. In other words, we still do not under stand the weather and many of Nature’s secrets on this earth, even as we seek to invade the realm of outer space. Models Dress At Chicago 4-H Congress Linda Humphrey, 18, of Ma con, has proved that she can de sign and create apparel to com plement her personality, and then model it with ease and grace.

Over a straight skirt the back of the GAME and # FISH By FULTON LOVELL Director, Georgia Game & Fish Commission CHOOSING THE RIGHT GUN THE hunter who never goes “undergunned” is the fellow that seldom loses game via crippling. You must have proper equipment to bring down game accurately and humanely. ■ . That always brings up the question, Si, “What size shot should I use?” *** s’Pflk The answer i s always the same. It depends W j on the type of game you’re hunting. ■ £3. 1 Briefly, here’s what is usually recommended: For quail, Nos. 7Vi, eight or nine; for l marsh hens, woodcocks or small marsh ■ \ birds. Nos. eight or nine; for ducks, Nos. ' four ' six or for geese ’ No * two; for \jMi turkeys. No. two for body shots, or six for llf f/sf , head shots; for squirrels and rabbits, N"~. Fulton Lovell s ‘ x - ... . , _ Most hunters prefer Nos. 7% or six for grouse and it is strictly taboo among conservationists and against the law to shoot deer with a shotgun and anything less than No. 1 buckshot. Gun Gauge Varies With Hunter I have heard many arguments about the gauge of shotgun to use. Some hunters say 12 gauges are more versatile, others choose 16 while many prefer a 20 gauge or .410. I have always found that some guns are better for one type of game while another may be better for another species. Fo rexample, quail and other small game birds require a light gun with an open-bored barrel for fast handling and a wider pattern. With these requirements to fill, the twenty gauge is a good selection. Average duck and geese hunting calls for a larger gauge gun, tighter choke boring and heavily loaded long-range shells. Thus, a 12 gauge gun and ammunition that fits the requirements. The'old 10 gauge, although still used by many duck and geese hunters, has given away in popularity to the 12 chambered for three inch shells. .... The type of gun, of course, is optional. The hunter must decide whether he prefers a pump action, automatic double barrel, etc. Many hunters forsake shotguns for squirrel, deer and wild \ hog hunting. The .22 short or long rifle cartridge is suitable . for squirrels, while deer hunters most commonly use .30-30, \ 30.06. Georgia prohibts the use of rimfire cartridge and the .25-20; .32-20; .30 Army Carbine .22 Hornet and .218 Bee. The important thing in choosing ammunition for deer is to pick a cartridge that has plenty of impact, and a flat trajectory. These requirements often mean the difference between a trophy buck and a crippled buck. , Crippling losses are high, particularly in ducks and deer, and for that reason it’s much better to have too much gun than not enough. Cripples are no good to anyone, not even themselves. Public Streams Get Hatchery Bream The State Game and Fish Commission will soon begin releasing bream in several public streams. Although hatchery fish are used primarily for stocking farm ponds, the Commission usually re leases surplus fish in public streams that need attention. Fred J. Dickson, chief of fish management, is in charge of the stocking and selection of streams. • overblouse rounded out in a bar rel curve with the fullness caught at either side, then narrowed to a low waistband. To accent the unusual print, she chose a blue green scarf, matching green hat, gold earrings, black suede pumps and purse, and black shortie gloves. In her eight-year clothing proj ect she made 105 garments. She won five blue awards at the state fair, third place in the state dress revue last year, and first in the district twice. She estimated a total savings of $691 on her ward robe. For four years Miss Humphrey was a clothing project leader. She taught the “Know Your Sew ing Machine” course to five girls in the Senior 4-H Club. She also made clothing exhibits in store windows during National 4-H Club Week. Miss Humphrey says that she would like to study dress design ing, original designs and art. She plans to major in home economics in college. This nine-year 4-H’er is presi dent of A. L. Miller Senior High 4-H Club, and has served as vice president and secretary of Coun ty 4-H Council, The 4-H program is conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service.

Via Magic of Remodeling Aging Tumble-Down Shack Becomes Modern Home The average family looking for an old house to remodel probably would shudder and run the other way if offered the dilapidated shack in the photo graph, right, regardless of price. But building contractor Al bert Steidel took a closer look and found that the crumbling exterior concealed a sturdy framework and sound founda tion. Asa result, he remodeled the 75-year-old house in Canaan, N. Y., into a modern, 2-bed room home at a cost of only $9,000. Razing the old house and building anew one of similar design on the site would have cost $15,000, he estimates. To protect remodeling opera tions from weather, Steidel started with anew roof of 210-pound black asphalt strip shingles. He selected asphalt shingles because they could be appiied directly over the old roofing, saving the cost of tear ing oil the wornout material. Black was chosen because a dark color makes a tall house lock lcer. In rebuil ling the walls, the con .actor used Colonial bev eled wood siding over tongue and groo.e sheathing.
