TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JULY 17. 1941.
Anglers, New Trout
Streams are Opening!
Here’s good news for trout
anglers—the Wildlife Division
announces the opening of four
North Georgia streams which
have been unfished thi s season.
They are in the Georgia Fish
and Game Management Areas
of he Chattachoochee National
Forest, operated jointly by the
Georgia Wildlife Division and
the U. S. Forest Service. Wild¬
life Director Zack D. Cravey said
the waters are heavily stocked
with rainbow and brook trout
and, because they have been
rigidly patrolled, fishing should
be exceptionally good.
One of the streams—Baggs
Creek Drainage in the Chatta-
hoochee-Chestatee Area—already
is open and will close August 3.
Three others will be open from
July 24 through August 3. Rough
Creek in the Cohutta Area; Smith
Creek Drainage, in the Chatta-
hoochee-Chstatee Areas, and
the Jones Creek Drainage in the
Blue Ridge Management Area.
Fishig is limited to Thursday,
Friday, Saturday and Sunay and
as these streams close others will
open throughout the summer.
Angling has been permitted all
season in Rock Creek Lake on
Saturday and Sunday from Sep¬
tember 4-28 will be allowed on
those days plus Thursdays and
Fridays.
Because of the intensive patrol
and restocking work carried on
in the Areas a special permit, in
addition to the regular state
fishing license, is required. These
cost $1 per day or $10 for the
season and may be bought from
Wildlife Rangers on duty at the
various entrances in the Areas.
Director Cravey said, however,
anglers can save time by pur¬
chasing them in advance from
the Wildlife Department, state
capitol. or the FT. S. Forest Ser¬
vice, Glenn Building, Atlanta, or
Gainesville.
Another ‘Rattler’
Killed at N. England
Another “Rattler” has been
added to the “casualty list.” Gene

Farmers and Seedmen
To Meet at Court
House July 18, 7:30
Dade county farmers, seedmen,
and members of the County Ag¬
ricultural Conservation Associa¬
tion will meet in the Trenton
Court house at 7:30 p.m., July
18, 1941, to discuss plans for dis¬
tribution of winter legume seed
under the Agricultural Adjust¬
ment Administration grant-of-aid
program this year.
County Agent O. G? Ariail has
announced consideration will be
given two possible plans—pur¬
chase orders through local seed-
men, and the Commodity Credit
Corporation purchase program.
Heretofore, seed have been fur¬
nished through CCC-AAA chan¬
nels.
Georgia farmers, Mr. Ariail
said, last year failed to use ap¬
proximately $4,500,000 of the
State’s available soil-building as¬
sistance.
The county agent placed speci¬
al stress upon the need for early
orders for legume seed this year,
due to the possibility of a later
shortage of transportation facili¬
ties needed for defense.
Dutton Festival
Quartet Contest is
Set For July 26th
Planned on a scale larger, it is
claimed, than ever before, the
third annual Sand Mountain all¬
day Music Festival by Radio
Stars and all-day Quartet Con¬
test will be held at Dutton on
Dutton School Grove on Satur¬
day, July 26, it has been an¬
nounced.
Earlier and Bigger in Plan.
This moves the date up some¬
what earlier than for the prev¬
ious years, middle and late Aug¬
ust having been the time here¬
tofore for the Festival occasion.
Each time it has attracted sever¬
al thousand and the annual fete,
having attained to a fixed place
in the great Mountain Communi¬
ty’s life and customs is expect¬
ed to draw this time very much
more from extended ’
an area.
The park itself is being rebuilt
and re-equipped and accomoda¬
tions are being provided for a
crowd of from 8,000 to 10,000
people.
Radio Stars—Quartets at War.
For the biggest day’s program,
which will be varied in types of
entertainers, a total of about 20
Radio Stars are being placed
under contract, it is claimed, to
be announced as soon as the con¬
tract arrangements are perfected.
The contests of the quartets,
through which cash awards of
$50.00 will be paid to the win¬
ners, has aroused an interest
the most intense, far beyond the
Sand Mountain area, and has
been declared open not alone
to the quartets of Jackskon coun¬
ty but likewise to those of Mar¬
shall and DeKalb.
The Lacy Quartet of Albert¬
ville, of which 3- C. Lacy is

Civic and Patriotic
Organizations to Be
Interrogated Here
Civic, patriotic and other or¬
ganizations of Dade County will
be interrogated this week rela¬
tive to the part they may play
in Civilian Defense.
The work is being undertaken
at the request of Mayor Fiorella
LaGuardia, of New York, Civil¬
ian Defense Administrator, by
the Historical Records Survey
and the Community Service Di¬
vision of WPA.
It will be the work of the
Survey to obtain a listing of of¬
ficials of each Organization, the
number of members, and such
other information as will allow
the various civillian organiz-
tions to be classified in the part
they may play in the vast Na¬
tional Defense program now un¬
der way in the United States.
The full scope of the assign¬
ments to be given to civilian or¬
ganizations is not known at this
time, but clubs and groups will
be asked to check one or more
of 36 types of activities. Noble
and useful work in life saving,
air protection, fire fighting and
other fields has been done by
similar groups in war-torn Eng¬
land. It is expected that the
listing of exisiting clubs and
groups will be the first step in
carrying out the vital program
of the Civilian Defense Adminis¬
tration.
Among those to be listed and
whom a form will be made are:
American Legion, Veterans ot
Foreign Wars, YMCA, Lions, Ki-
wanis, Rotary, Civitan, Exchange
and other service clubs, YWCA,
Boy and Girl Scouts, and any
other organization which may
be in position to furnish needed
personnel to carry out the pro¬
gram. t
It is necessary that th e work
be finished by August and in or¬
der that the results may be fil¬
ed with the officials of the Civil¬
ian Defense Administration and
included in the nation-wide di¬
rectory.
Sometime during the coming
week representatives of the Sur¬
vey wiU be in Dade County to
compile the informtaation need¬
ed.
When a comprehensive plan is
developed for joining civilians
to the armed forces to present
a united nation to the foes of
America, the information gath¬
ered in this county will be a-
Yailable in determining how the
work shall be divided.
Unless this infomation is in
concise, usable form, it will be
impossible to work out a plan
where the full power and force
of the civilian energies could be
used to advantage, officials say.
