Hamilton Co.,
Singing Convt.
October 23 rd
Beginning at 10 o’clock, Sun
day, October 23, next in the
forenoon, the Hamilton coun¬
ty Singing Convention will
convene for the fall session in
the Chattanooga High school
auditorium.
It is believed this auditorium
has the best facilities for a
meeting of this kind, to be
had in the city. The only fea¬
ture about the building that
might be a handicap, is the
size, however, it has seating
capacity for about 3,000 people
and the acoustics are perfect.
The arrangements for car¬
ing the visiting singers who
are inclined to quit singing
long enough to partake of
nourishments are the very
best, supervised by Mrs. Collie,
the cafeteria manager, who
has several years experience in
this work. Lunch will be served
without cost to the visiting
singers.
Many prominent singers
from far and near are expected
to attend. Mr. Vick will direct
the program as has been the
custom for several years.

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1938
Gain of South Is Cited By
Georgia Power Co. Executive
Atlanta, Oct., 20. (GPS)—
Declaring that the South is
not ‘‘the nation’s No. 1 eco¬
nomic problem,” Preston S.
Arkwright, president of the
Georgia Power Company, in a
recent speech before the At¬
lanta Kiwunis Club, said this
section has made more eco¬
nomic progress since 1900 than
any other section of the coun¬
try.
Mr. Arkwright attacked the
designation, made in a recent
report of a committee appoint¬
ed by President Roosevelt, and
charged that it was damaging
“not because of facts it con¬
tained but because it is pic-
sented as typical of the South’s
own best thought.
“The report was turned in
20 days after the committee
was appointed,” he said. “I
doubt that it was prepared by
southerners, and 1 am sure it
is not representative of the
thinking of the businessmen.
There is much in the report
that is true, but the picture it
paints of southerners—incom¬
petents living in a land of
plenty—is not true. The pic¬
ture ulso is false in that it tells
all the bad things about the
south and fails to mention the
enormous progress we have
made in improving them.
“There is another obstacle,
however, which we can do
something about. That is the
growth of the strange doctrine
that we don’t want outside
capital brought in. If this idea
spreads it can do more to
check our progress than most
anything else.
“We all recognize that some
thing must be done about the
conditions described in the re¬
port. The best thing we can do
is to get more capital, get more
industries into the South,
welcome them into the Soueh
because of the new wealth they
bring, and treat them fairly
after they get here.”
Aid to Dade County Farmers
For The Control of Erosion
Farmers of Dade County are
losing thousands of dollars in
soil wealth each year through
the destructive agency of
erosion. Here is an opportunity
to stop at least a portion of
this loss.
The Georgia agricultural
extension service and the de¬
partment of Forestry Rela¬
tions, TVA, are launching a
program for direct cooperation
with farmers in eight counties
in an effort to control soil
erosion and give aid in flood
prevention. The counties to be
included in this program are:
Dade, Whitfield, Walker, Ca¬
toosa, Union, Towns, Rabun
and Fannin. In Dade County,
the campaign will be led by
County Agent H. G. Baker and
Assistant County Agent O. J.
Ariail.
Plans call for the planting of
500,000 to 1,000,000 trees on
worn out, abandoned fields. In
‘See You Later’ at
D. H. S. Friday Night
Rehearsals are now in full
swing for “See You Later,” a
rollicking 3-act musical com¬
edy which will be presented at
the Dade High School Friday
evening at 7:30. Miss Grace
Brown, dramatics teacher, of
Aiken, S. C_, is in churge, and
funds will be used to pay for
the school piano.
Fun. dancing, ridiculous
situations gorgeous costumes,
beautiful girls and snappy
music, with its brilliant cast
of Dade County Students, “See
You Later” promises to be the
theatrical event of the season.
In Memorium
MRS. TURA W. STEVENSON

of her as being a flower in

a hope of seeing her again

selecting areas for this coopera¬
tive forest planting, primary
consideration will be given to
the purpose of slopping or
controlling existing erosion
prevention of future erosion.
The kind of trees to be plant
ed will include black locust,
yellow poplar, shortleaf pine,
pitch pine and Virginia pine.
Who is eligible for aid? Any
farmer who has laud in need
of erosion control and will
agree to give reasonable co¬
operation in carrying out the
project may avail himself of
this opportunity to secure for¬
est tree seedlings to plunt on
these waste areas and thereby
stop erosion and bring these
fields into productive use.
Application blanks are now
available at the County Agent’s
office. Interested farmers
should see Baker or Ariail at
once so they may get an early
start und accomplish much
work before the winter season
sets in.

Dade County Fair Attended by
Many, Largest Ever Held Here
Farm Building
Associations
Being Formed
Atlanta, Oct., 20. (GPS) —
County farm prosperity build¬
ing associations are being
formed in twenty-six counties
in the immediate Atlanta
trade area, as a part in a de¬
termined move of Atlanta
business and financial inter¬
ests to advance the state’s
agriculture.
Meetings aleady have been
held at Cumming, Forsyth,
Covington, Conyers, McDon¬
ough, Gainesville, Dahloncga,
Blairsville and Cleveland. They
will continue in olher counties
until the program is complet¬
ed.
Enlarged incomes for farm
families, to establish greater
self-efficiency are the objec¬
tives of the drive. The program
calls for aiding the farmer:
(1) To raise and improve the
quality of livestock. (2) To di¬
versify crops. (3) To halt soil
erosion and build up land. (4)
To “live at home,” in respect
to foodstuff and stock feed. (5)
Generally to develop new
sources of farm income.
This is in line vf+tb the pro¬
gram that has been advanced
for sometime by agricultural
agents of railroads operating
in Georgia. A survey, made
recently by the A. B. & C.
Railroad, showed that farmers
in eight counties in the heart
of South Georgia’s agricultur¬
al section, who have adopted
modern methods, in carrying
out modern ideas of farming
and livestock raising, are
meeting with success.
The plan of forming farm
prosperity building associa¬
tions is under the general di-
tion of Cully A. Cobb, chair¬
man of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce livestock com¬
mittee. Many private enter¬
prises are cooperating.
Governor To Tell
World of Georgia
Georgia is coming for a bit
of international advertising.
Governor Rivers will advertise
the stale in three or four
languages ou October 24.

a radio address.
The governor has been invit¬
ed by the United States Tour¬
ist Bureau to broadcast on an
international radio hook-up
for the purpose of attracting
visitors to America from for¬
eign nations.
Governor Rivers will tell the
history and agricultural and
economic advantages of Geor¬
gia, point out the historic sites
in the state, emphasize the
