At their Wedneday luncheon
Rotarians were hosts to their
offspring and the program was a
very good imitation of the “Dr.
1Q" program with D. Weaver
Bridges playing the role of the
Doctor and Pop Pearson and
Ralph Snow serving as Lis as
sistants in the audience.
The first question was poppe.d
to a member of the club and if
he couldn’t answer it this mem
per’s daughter would be given a
chance to outdo~Dad, and .by
gum, they did that very thing
and received a silver dollar for
their effort. :
Take the question of where
the American Flag flies day and
night. Dean Paul Chapman made
a complete bust but his son gave
the correct answer. Dr. Marion
Hubert got a chance to secure a
vear's membership in the Ladies
Garden Club but he flopped and
his daughter won it.
Moon Corker, on the “thought
twister” didn’t get so first base
Joe Wickliffe, B, R. Bloodworth
and Tony Galis won with flying
colors, but such fellows (who
should know better) as D. D.
Quillian, Sam W. Wood, Josh
Molder, Floyd Adams, George
Thornton, Harry Holsapple,
Charlie Shepard, Jimmy Aikins,
Leroy Edwards, C. A. Ward,
Preston Almand, Mart Harris,
Billy Daniel and Lamar Dodd
would have had papers under a

It was an enjoyable program
and all present would like to
see it repeated soon. Chaplain
Dave Napier introduced two
guests, other than the kiddies.
They were Julius Denham, At~

COOPERATION OF OCONEE COUNTY AGENCIES HAS
PROMOTED GOCD SOIL CONSERVATION PRACTICES
Cooperation of land owners,
officials of the town of Watkins
ville, the Oconee River Soil Con
servation District, and business
men within the trade area have
promoted more conservation
work in Oconee county.
Land owner Donald Link has
leased nine acres of idle land to
the town of Watkinsville for
four years. The land is located
one-half mile north from Wat
kinsville on Highway 129. Seri
cea Lespedeza will be planted 01,
this area and will furnish enough
seed to plant 300 acres of idle
or badly eroded land within the
waterworks reservoir watershed.
The seed produced willsbe do
nated to farmers within the
watershed who are interested in
soil conservation work on their
land. "The Oconee county V. F.
W. Post has made a cash dona
tion and is active in supporting
this project. Other local Civic
Organizations will furnhish active
support. ¥ .
Meeting Monday Night
A meeting of all farmers with
in the watershed with town offi
cials and all other interested in
dividuals is scheduled for Mon
day night, Aprii 15th at 8:00 p.
m., at the court house in Wat
kinsville. Colored aerial pictures
showing present erosion condi
tion on farm land in the water
shed and provisions incident to
local farmers securing free seed
from the project will be. discuss
ed. Pictures will be shown of
other farms in Oconee county
where much good conservation
work has been done.
Farmer's near Watkinsville
who have land in the watershed
are-T. R. Aycock A. P. Dickens,
H. H. Harris, ,Roy Crowley, W.
H. Barnett, Paul Maxey, Carl
Maxey, Roy Nichols, A. H. Par
sonis, 0.. Z. Bell, Roland Dickens,
T. O. Thrasher, Porter Bros., R.
L. Berrong, W. C. Lovern, Brad
A. Thomas, Miss Annie White,
A. Y. Crowley, James Bishop
and W. B. Parham. 4 v
Mell Stephenson, Frank C.
Shackelford, and W. P. Elrod of
Athens, also own land 'in this
watershed. s
A one day Conservation Dem
onstration' is planned for Wed
nesday, April 21st on the nine
acres of leased land. Sufficient
seed and fertilizer has been do
nated for the area. Equipment
dealers in Athens will be
cooperating 100 per cent with
this project and will furnish such
equipment as is necessary to
dstribute . fertilizer, -lime, plow,
harrow and smooth land, and
plant the Sericea Lespedeza dur
ing the day. Plans include dem
onstrations of several- types .of
farm tractors, plows, harrows
and seeders. “Jeeps” will be used
for several farm jobs. A public
address system will keep the
crowd informed of the day’s dc
tivities. Work will begin at 9:00
a. m. and the whole job will be
completed by mid - afternoon.
(Note: In the event of rain this
tield day will be postponed un
til Wednesday April 28. Farmers
in the watershed and all other
individuals interested in soil
conservation work are invited
to see this work.
Why has this project been
started? In 1938, a 2 nine acre res
ervoir at Watkinsville Georgia
with an average depth of 5.33
feet and a storage capacity of
774,000 cubic yards of water was
compleied. Today only six acres
of the surface area remaifi in
this lake and the average depth
has been reduced one-half; and
two-thirds of the storage capaci
ty has been lost. This loss .in
storage capacity amounts to
516,000 cubic yards of water. A
layer of soil seven inches thick
and covering one acre weighs
1,000 tons. Aproximately 837,000
tons of soil have washed into the
lake from it’s watershed. This is
enough soil to cover 1950 acres
to a depth of three inches. A
large quantity of soil particles
are washed on through the re
servoir and down the creek dur
ing each heavy rain and are not
included in these figures. The
important thing is to control this
erosion with adequate terrace
systems with well protected ter-
race outlets, gced crop rotation
plans, better pastures, woodland
improvement and good manage-~
ment for every acre of land on
MM‘ Mi i LI
A good beginning towards
rontrolling erosion in the water
shed has been made but much
work remains to be done. The
town of Watkinsville, the Oco
nee River Soil Conservation Dis
trict and various business men
who are promoting this project
are interested in assisting farm
ers to carry out the most active
soil conservation program that
can be managed. It is expected
that this is just the beginning
and that in four or five years
there will pe quite a different
storv to be told. As long as
thousands of tons of top soil are
going down the creek there is a
job to be done to stop erosion
on the farm land. Farmers are
interested and they are getting
the cooperation necessary to do
something about this problem.

bond money to make repairs on
several buildings. Mr, Seagraves
said he understood that the
bonds were voted exclusively’ for
the purpose of building a new
high school and nothing else. He
added, “If we keep.digging into
this money for purposes other
than the new high school, it will
soon be gone and we will nrever
have the new school.”” He then
asked City Attorney Bob Steph
ens for his opinion as to whether
the Board of Education can use
the money for anything other
than the new building.
Mr. Stephens replied that he
wasn’t sure and added that he
would have to have time to study
it more.
Mayor Wells pointed out that
no -aetion could be taken on tha
matter anyway since there was
no ordinance. He then adjourned
the meeting. '

IF STOMACH -
BALKS DUE TOO
GAS AND BLOAT
Help Get Food Digested to
Relieve Yourself of This
Nervous Distress
Do you feel all puffed-up and miserable
after every meal, taste sour, bitter food?
If so, here is how you may get blessed
relief in helping your stomach do the
job—it should be doing—in the diges
tion of its food. ; ®
Everytime food enters the stomach a
vital gastric juice must flow normally to
break-up certain food particles; else the
food may ferment. Sour food, acid indi
gestion and gas frequently cause a mor=
bid, touchy, fretful, peevish, nervous
condition, loss of appetite, underweight,
restless sleep, weakness.
To get real relief you must increase
the flow of this vital gastric juice. Medi
cal authorities, in independent labora
tory tests on human stomachs, have by
positive proof shown that SSS Tonic is
amazingly effective in increasing this
flow when it is too little or scanty due
to a non-organic stomach disturbance.
This is due to the SSS Tonic formula
which contains special and potent acti«
vating lngredieq::s.
Also, SSS Tonic helps build-up non
organic, weak, watery blood in nutri
tional anemia—so with a good flow of
this gastric digestive juice, plus rich red
blood you should eat better, sleep better,
feel better, work better, play better. @&
Avoid punishing yourself with over
doses of soda and other alkalizers to
counteract gas and bloating when what
you so dearly need is SSS Tonic to help
yaou digest food for body strength and
repair. Don’t wait! Join the host of
happy people 888 Tonic has helped,

Rat Terrier Catches
Fox Near Winterville
C. M. Bolton of Winterville,
collected a $2.00 bounty today,
cecently placed on fox by the
County Commissioners. But the
rircumstances leading to that fee
collection were a litle out of the
ordinary. .
{Mr. Bolton said that as he
was walking by his smoke house,
the little rat terrier that he owns
segan to bark as if she wanted
to go into the curing room.
“She kept barking so much,”
said Mr. Bolton, “that I finally
spened the door and let her in,”
adding, “thought' maybe she was
after a rat. She's killed many a
big wharf rat around the place.”
~ When the terrier got Inside,
Mr. Bolton said she began to
sniff around, so he moved some
cf the boxes and other things
stored in the house to help the
dog get what he still thought
was a rat. ) :
~ The dog ran between the boxes
and started ‘“tearing the living
daylights” out of something, he
said. .
After the dog had had her fill
of massacreing whatever was
behind the boxes Mr. Bolton
went to investigate, and found,
not a rat, but a baby red fox,
about one foot long.
Of the dog, the proud owner
said, “She’s the smartest dog I
ever owned. She can smell out
anything, and kill anything twice
her size.”
