Census Bureau Gives
Definition of Farm
A farm, according to the
census bureau at Washington,
is all the land farmed by one
person, whether it is I lire
acres or three thousand acres,
it was pointed out here today.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it.
Well, it wasn’t so simple for
the government officials to de¬
cide what should be consider¬
ed a farm by the enumerators.
Much study and years of prac¬
tical experience were said t o
have been necessary before the
short, concise definition w a s
agreed upon.
The amount of farm I a n d
owned by one person has noth
-ing to do with the definition
of a farm so far as the census
bureau is concerned, it is stal¬
ed. The question is not how
much land does he own, hut
how much does he operate or
farm. A man who ow ns 300
acres might farm half of it
himself and rent the o l li e r
half out to three tenants, 30
aeres to each. This, it is staled,
would go dow n on the census
records as four farms, because
the land farmed by each man
is cousidered a unit.

Letter From The
Lone Star State
In no day previous to this
has the world and the cause
of Christ demanded a more of
a Christ-like religion t h a n
now. Of course the New Test¬
ament standards of living have
never changed. They are high
and the highest goal is perfec¬
tion. No man on earth will
ever reach this height h. The
outside world watches the
church members' daily walk.
Their eyes are always on the
Christians. What good «1 i d
they see in you yesterday?Vi ill
today bean improvement and
will a lost sinner be draw u by
that magnetic Jesus p o w e r
through you?
les. pure old hardshell hon¬
esty is in demand. Vi e need
it in our church life, and this
principle must be carried by
the followers of Jesus into dai¬
ly life.
Courtesy should lie practic¬
ed by all. Many times old time
courtesy is prized and longed
for. Men roll and smoke cig¬
arettes inside a church; that
might he lack of reverence.
They did not smoke in mixed
crowds only a few years ago.
Tipping the hat to a lady or
an aged man looked good. A
“thank you” is ; I w ay s in or¬
der. The lady should enter
first.
But if you are leaving Jesus
o it you miss a!!. You may ob¬
serve all good rules courtesy
and etiquette but you are a
failure if Jesus Christ is left
out of your life. “Ye m u s l
be born attain”. (John 3:3.)

Dade High News
Recently the faculty pur¬
chased a new up-to-date En¬
cyclopedia. '1'he set arrived the
first part of the week. It is
right up to the present; con¬
taining and explaining all the
new deal FERA’s, RFC’s, etc.
We had a distinguished visi¬
tor in our school last week,
Mr. Jack Dempsey, not the
fighter Jack, (hut he means as
much to Georgia schools as
the fighter Jack did to the
fight game. Our visitor look¬
ed our plant over and said we
had a fine school. He suggest¬
ed several, or rather four chan¬
ges in our system, that, if we
gel them, will greatly help our
school. Mr. Dempsey is chair¬
man of the State High School
Veerediled ( oin mission.
In next week’s issue we will
publish the first half-year hon¬
or roll. Making an averageof
90' , or more is no easy thing,
and few there he that do it.
A near tragic accident hap¬
pened to some of our students
from Head River last week. We
can give it to you briefly:
“'I he school bus “stuck” a-
bout one third the way up the
mountain, making them late.
II.G. Forester, Willie Kondradt
and Raymond Ross started to
see about them in the latter’s
ear. During this lime, the
girls started walking on home.
The above group met the girls
just under the brow of the
mountain. It was decided that
he lake the girls hack in his
ear. They got in the car be¬
fore Raymond turned the car
around, and as the road was
narrow, he decided to back
up to a more convenient place
to turn. Snow and sleet were
so thick that he could hardly
see. II. G. Forester was (lag¬
ging him buck with a lantern.
Forester told him to stop that
he was too near the edge. Ray¬
mond thinking he meant the
other edge, turned the car to¬
ward the bluff and pulled for¬
ward slightly; this was enough
to take him over. The car ran
something like 23 ya<*ls down
an embankment and stopped
short of the main bluff some
30 feet by the good fortune of
two trees. Marguerite Kon¬
dradt and Louise Ross
were thrown from the car; the
former sustaining cuts on the
face and Louise an injured leg.
H. G. Forester tried to hold
the ear and it slung him down
and ran over him. slightly in¬
juring his legs.
The ear was pulled hack to
the road a day or two later and
wen! home on its own power.

Patrol Bill Returns
To the Committes;
$3. Flat Rate Tag
The General Assembly’s
Georgia highway patrol bill,
designed to set up a state-wide
police system, were returned
to the hands of committees
Tuesday, as both II o u s e s
sought to prepare a measure
that would receive a favorable
majority vote.
So many amendments and
substitutions were introduced
to the House bill that a sub¬
committee was appointed t o
work out a compromise.
All amendments and substi¬
tutions for the senate bill were
referred to the committee on
stale of the republic.
Simultaneously, the House
passed 174 to 7 a resolution
constitutional amendment for
reclassification of taxable
property in order to make in¬
tangibles hear their share of
the burdens.
OTHER ACTS.
The Senate passed 4()-0 a bill
allowing trial of defendands
in felony eases without indie-
ment. The bill provides that
the defendants must waive
indiement in writing.
Three bills sponsored b y
Governor Talmadge and pass¬
ed Monday by the House were
read for tlu; first time in com¬
mittee. They included the
niieh-diseussed Regents bill,
I lie bill diverting $2,000,000 in
highway department funds to
school teachers and Confeder¬
ate veterans, and the flat $3
tag bill.
The Senate appropriations
committee met at 3 o’clock to
consider the diversion bill.
A bill to reduce the state
fund for repayment of excess
income tax assessments from
$200,000 to $30,000 was passed
by the Senate.
Two conflicting hills for a
state highway patrol were re¬
ferred to committee in t h e
Senate.
Senatos Skelton, Thirtieth
District, was instrumental i n
having the measures sent back
pointing out that a body
would he created for which an
appropriation would be nec¬
essary, and that all appropria¬
tion hills must originate in
t he House to he constitutional.
Senator McGehee seconed
his proposal, and the Senate
immediately voted to return
the hills.
One would allow the Gover¬
nor and Adjudant General t o
create a limitless number of
officers, and would make the
patrol a military organization
control of the adjutant gen¬
eral .
The Attorney General would
havejrpower to pass on the
qualifications of all drivers,
subject to appeal to the Gov¬
ernor. A $1 driver’s license for
support of the patrol would
also be provided.
