VOLUME 40 — NUMBER 47 Sheriffs Prepare Ranch For Helping Needy Georgia Boys HAHIRA — Four hundred and six "golden acres” along the Wil lacoochee River near here have been converted into a cattle and pony ranch which is now being prepared for its principal and most valuable crop — boys. While purebred herefords and angus graze in the lush pastures workmen are nearing completion o f a building to house the first wave of needy and neglected youngsters who will make their home at the Georgia Sheriffs Boys’ Ranch. This first dormi tory building will include a cafe teria and administration quarters and is to be finished by Dec ember 1. It is expected that be fore Christmas the ranch will be gin to accept boys from through out Georgia. The first contingent of young ranchers will number from 16 to 20. Six other dormitories are off the drawing board and will be constructed as rapidly as funds become available, Sheriff Jewell Futch of Lowndes County, presi dent of the sponsoring Georgia Sheriffs Association, said. Plans provide for a total of 140 boys to be cared for, and it is hoped that the ranch project will continue to grow “until it meets the desperate need for homes for youngsters who will otherwise be come delinquents,” Futch declar ed. Boys accepted will not be ju venile delinquents, he emphasiz ed, but will come from undesir able circumstances and unwhole some environments which could lead them astray. Among the structures at the ranch will be a modern chapel, a recreation hall-library, a perma nent cafeteria and a vocational building where the youngsters will learn trades. A laundry building is now being erected and equipped. The boys will go to public schools in Hahira, six miles a way, until they graduate from high school, when they will be gotten jobs in industry or sent to college. Religious training will be non denominational. A well-rounded program of work, study and re creation will be designed to de velop sound minds and good health and to direct the ranchers into lives of good citizenship. Progress on the Boys’ Ranch project will depend on the gen erosity of Georgia citizens who are being asked to contribute $lO annual honorary memberships in the Georgia Sheriffs Association, or by outright donations in any amounts. Gifts of SIOO or more Chicago Trip Ahead For Top Rank Georgia 4-H’ers A quartet of prize-winning teenagers from the Cracker state will get a crack at S4OO scholarships to be awarded 4-H state winners at the 39th National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. . John Marshall, 19, Evans; James Davis, iB, Doerun, Margaret Vaughn, 17, Jackson; Harrison Brown, 17, Swainsboro, highest in beef, electric, frozen foods and swine 4-H P™gra spectively. As part of the Georgia delegation, they will be in C b for five days, beginning Nov. 27. John Marshall The Marshall name is well known in Georgia 4-H circles. John will be fourth in the Mar shall family to attend a national congress. From the time his first dairy calf won grand champion in:1950 young Marshall has raised high quality animals. He has had 59 beef animals registered in 4-H projects, and now has a herd of 47 Angus cattle. Livestock judging in district and state competition the past four years helped develop better animals on the family farm, he says. The 170 acres of pasture he cared for also aided his beef Project. Marshall has been a junior leader two years. The donor of his Chicago trip is E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Davis, a North Georgia College freshman, has been winner in junior and senior electric for six years. He made a survey of 15 farm homes and pointed out many hazards. His demonstra tions on farm and home electric care number over 180. Davis has also been a junior leader for two of the eight years in 4-H. He has held the office of club president on local, county, district and state levels enroll the contributor in the Boys’ Ranch Founders Club. More than 70 head of fine calves have been given to the ranch by interested Georgians and these have in a few months grown into a herd valued in ex cess of $12,000. Horses and ponies, even two jackasses have been added to the ranch population by generous persons. More than 100 acres of the ranch, located in beautiful rolling terrain, is in permanent pastures of coastal bermuda and crimson clover, affording grazing almost year round. The ranch is border ed by the Willacoochee River for more than two miles and by Georgia Highway 122 for about a mile. It lies mostly in Lowndes County, partially in Berrien. The boys will be treated to plenty of fresh air and sunshine, will ride the horses in their ranch chores of tending the cat tle, and will have a four-acre pond, well stocked with game fish, for boating and fishing. They will have their turns at milking the cows in the already established dairy barn, and at operating the ranch irrigation system. They can hike and hunt in the expansive woodlands on the property, and eventually they will have a swimming pool, base ball park, football field and ten nis court. THE WORDS OF A CHILD - A writer asked a child, “What do you like best about summer?” “I can read a book and not have have to make a book report,” she said. “I like poetry.” It turned out that the favorite of this thir teen year old was Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream of which she could quote many lines. Next, Shakespeare’s sonnets. And third, these lovely lines from John Masefield: “It’s a warm wind, the west wind Full of birds’ cries; I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.” SIGN ON A SCHOOL BUS IN ENGLAND — Drinka pinta milka day.

For the low, low price of $3.25, Georgia sports men can enjoy some of the best hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation in the world. The thrill of spotting a quick-moving buck through the distant trees on a frosty morn ... the excitement of latching onto a bigmouth bass on a topwater lure ... the enjoyment of a morning afield with your prize pointer in search of quail that you know you will find —these things aren’t found in bargain basements. But Georgians can do them for a fee of $3.25, the price of a combination hunting and fishing li cense. This is considerably less than sportsmen from other states pay for their licenses. A survey con ducted by the State Game and Fish Department’s public information office reveals that only three states have cheaper licenses than Georgia. For many years state conservation departments have depended upon license receipts for operating funds. This is as it should be. Hunters and fisher men, those who benefit from state conservation pro grams, do not mind paying the cost. Georgia’s game and fish budget has increased from $189,000 in 1950 to an expected $1,600,000 during fiscal 1960. Its program has expanded accordingly. More funds are available to match federal Din gell-Johnson and Pittman-Robertson game and fish restoration programs, in which the federal govern ment pays 75 per cent of the bill. Future In Good Hands More money is available for enforcement' fish management, game management and education and information. , Georgia’s technical game and fish personnel are the finest to be found anywhere and, ^ince tech nicians hold the key to modern game and fish man agement programs, the state’s future is in good The most significant fact about Georgia’s prog ress in conservation is the tremendous increase in pame and fish populations during the past decade. Dr Jim Jenkins estimated a deer population of 33 000 in 1951. Game technicians say there are over 75000 in the state currently and the number is ris ing Kill figures indicate Georgians are harvesting 8,000 deer annually, as compared with 4,000 seven he was at it. Dr. Jenkins said there were 21 725 wild turkeys throughout the state in 1951. Todav the same range supports over 30,000 birds and that number, too, increases annually. This is statistical proof that Georgia’s conserva tion program is working with amazing effectiveness. And every Georgian big enough to shoot a 12- gauge shotgun or hold a fishing pole can enjoy the fruits of this progress. If he’s over sixteen but not quite 65, that Geor gian can roam the fields and streams for the low. low price of $3.25. Negro Jailed For Forging Two Checks Eddie Hill, Waynesville Negro, is in the toils of the law again, this time for forging checks on his employer, D. F. Walker. More than a year ago Eddie was “sent up” for a year for stealing S9OO from Rosa Lee Hall, school teacher. Only about S4OO of the money was recovered. Now Eddie Hill is in jail a gain and faces charges of forging two checks, one for SSO and the other for $65. Sheriff J. Walter Crews solv ed the case by comparing Eddie’s handwriting with the writing on the forged checks. Eddie had cashed the check at a Nahunta store but the lady who cashed the checks could not identify Ed die when he was first brought in. The sheriff kept working on the case and finally Eddie con fessed. He had stolen the blank checks from the office of his em ployer Thursday night, then forg ed the name of Mr. Walker on them. He cashed them at the lo cal store Saturday, Nov. 19, the sheriff stated. Eddie Hill’s fingerprints were on the checks but the finger prints were not needed for evi dence after his confession. CONTROL LICE AND MITES ON POULTRY Mites and lice can infest a poultry flock in a very short time, warns Extension poultry man Milton Y. Dendy. These pests slow growth, lower vitali ty and reduce egg production, and heavy infestations can kill chick ens. He advises poultrymen to in spect birds and houses for mites and lice each 10 to 14 days to begin treatment immediately at the first sign of infestation. GAME. AND FISH By FULTON LOVELL James S.

The association convention body adopted a resolution “look ing with disfavor on the use of fee systems in handling of traf fic cases in Georgia or any other state,” a spokesman said. The Georgia division of the as sociation long has been warring for elimination of the so-called “speed traps” along some areas of the southeast Georgia portion of the tourist highway. The group also urged both state and local participation for initia tion of a program to make the road more attractive looking to motorists along its entire eastern and southern route. Bill Hardman, tourist division director with the state depart ment of commerce, told the busi nessmen that if they are to bene fit fully from the tourist industry It is essential that “law enforce ment officers, waitresses, service station operators and others prac tice courtesy 24 hours a day.” “They hold in their hands the success or failure of the tourist development program," Hardman said. The commerce official said that when a new “welcome tourist" station is constructed by the state on "301” just north of Sylvania, the association benefits will be two-fold. New bids are to be op ened Nov. 29. “Not only will the station ad vertise Georgia’s vacation attrac tions,” he said. “It will also be a collecting point for complaints from motorists.” The association reelected F.
