Washington, D. C., Sept. 8.—September War Bond
Quotas for the 3,070 counties in the nation were
announced today by Henry Morgenthau, Jr,, Secre¬
tary of the Treasury, to make up the national Sep¬
tember total of $775,000,000.
The September quota for the State of Georgia
is $8,500,000.
In fixing the county quotas, the Treasury has con¬
tinued its announced policy of setting the monthly
quotas in line with the seasonal distribution of in¬
Tacky Party-Box
Supper Saturday Nite
October 3, Here
Saturday night, October 3, be¬
ginning at 7:30 o’clock, an old
time Georgia Tacky Party and
Box Supper will be held in the
high school gymnasium here,
the entire proceeds of which will
go toward establishment of the
Good Samaritan Health Center
in Dade County.
Plans are rapidly under way
for the opening of this institu¬
tion at an early date.
There isn’t a man, woman or
child in Dade County who does
not realize the very great need
of an institution of this kind,
and it is hoped that everyone
who possibly can, will come out
on this occasion to help make
this party a success, and enjoy
eating supper and mixing and
mingling with your friends from
over the county.
You are urged to dress tacky.
Admission will be 10c and 20c,
with a fine of five cents impos¬
ed on those who do not dress
tacky.
Hot dogs, hamburgers and cof¬
fee will be sold during the party,
and every woman and girl in
Dade County who can possibly
do so are urged to bring a well
filled box, cake or pie to be auc¬
tioned off for this worthy cause.
The men and boys are urged to
come with well filled pocket
books.
Make your arrangements now
to meet your friends and neigh¬
bors in the gymnasium Satur¬
day night, October 3, at 7:30 o’¬
clock, and enjoy supper together.
There will be plenty of fun,
music and food. Lets all get in
the “grand march” before the
judges stand to see which one
come with the billion-dollar monthly national av
erage as the annual goal.
The national quota lor May, when the nation
went on the billion-a-month annual basis, was $600,
000,000. For June the quota was $800,000,000 and for
July it jumped to $1,000,000,000. The August quotr
was $815,000,000, so to maintain the billion-dolla
annual monthly average, the quotas for the Fr
and Winter months must necessarily be stepped i
considerably to reach the objective set.

two girls attended the
annual 4-H club conference
at Wesleyan College, near
con during the week of June
20. As a reseult of Navy
dents at the University of
gia, we were unable to go

We left Trenton bright
early on Monday morning

On Tuesday morning we

Cut Cull Trees
For Fuel Wood,
Agent Suggests
Improve the value of your
woodlands by removing trees for
fuel that would hamper the
growth of good sound trees, is
the advice of County Agent L.C.
Adams. Make the farm woods
pay dividends, but keep the good
trees growing, he said this week.
“Remove for fuel only the
dead, poorly formed, unthrifty,
and other trees not suitable for
sawlogs, pulpwood, box bolts, pi¬
ling, poles and fence posts,” Mr.
Adams pointed out. “Fuel wood
is probably the lowest in value
of all forest products. With
in mind the farmer can make
Improvement cuttings on his
farm using the cull and inferior
trees as fuel.”
The war has tremendously in¬
creased the dqpiands on all
transportation facilities. Fuel oil
and coal must be shipped to
many sections of the country,
and many areas will find short¬
ages this year because of the
lack of transportation.
“There is no need for fuel
shortages in Dade County be¬
cause there is an ample supply
of wood fuel. This fuel can be
made available without involving
transportation facilities needed
for the war effort,” Mr. Adams
concluded.

jmans Missionary Society celebra¬

Health Center Here
Almost Ready For
Formal Opening
Dade County’s Good Samari¬
tan Health Center is almost rea¬
dy for the formal opening on
Thursday, Oct. 1.
During the past two weeks,
there has been much activity
at the Health Center. Mrs. Sarah
Kirby, efficient nurse, in charge
of the Dade county health unit,
who is promoting this worthy
enterprise, is on the job early
and late, receiving donations
and directing the necessary re¬
pairs and re-decorating, and all
will soon be in readiness for an
auspicious opening.
Dave T. Brown, lumberman of
New England, generously gave
Mrs. Kirby a check for $100 last
week which is being used in
the purchase of many necessary
supplies. A cash donation of $20
was also made by the Trenton
Garden Club.
A number of small iron bed¬
steads, mattresses and other
much needed supplies have also
been donated by men and wo¬
men of Dade County.
Much more materials and sup¬
plies are needed to equip the
Health Center, and anyone who
has anything that they care to
donate to this worthy institution
should immediately contact Mrs.
Kirby, at her office in the Health
Center, and learn just what is
most badly needed at this time.
Miss Belle Reeves, supervisor
of commodities for Dade coun¬
ty, has removed her office to the
Health Center and will donate
her spare time in keeping the
records, receiving and interview¬
ing patients, etc. Mrs. Kirby is
very fortunate in securing the
services of this popular and ca¬
pable young lady whom every¬
one admires.
A number of prospective pa¬
tients have already registered
for medical care and nursing in
the new Good Samaritan Health
Center, and its future success is
already assured.
Dade County’s August
Scrap Iron Harvest
Is Great Success
The scrap iron drive, which
was put on in Dade County dur¬
ing the month of August netted
the war industries 19 tons.
Mr. J. M. Carroll, Chairman
of Dade County Salvage Com¬
mittee, reports that he Is well
pleased with responses made to
the salvage drive by Dade Coun¬
ty people. Scrap iron is of vital
importance for the continued
full-time operation of our war
industries and the collection
made in Dade County will go a
long way in filling the need for
scrap iron.
Mr. Carroll states that then*
is still a large amount of scrap
iron on Dade County farms and
the scrap campaign will not
be closed until all of this metal
is moved into war industries.
All of the stores that collect the
scrap iron during the August
campaign have agreed to con¬
tinue this service. Dade County
farmers are urged to again
search their farms for addi¬
tional amounts of scrap iron and
deliver it to one of the collect¬
ing centers as rapidly as possi¬
ble.
Government reports show that
the great steel mills of our na¬
tion have approximately 20 days
supply on hand and unless we
make an extra effort to gather
this scrap, some of these mills
wiil be forced to shut down.
Prizes that were offered to 4-
H Club boys and girls for col¬
lecting scrap will be announc¬
ed within the next few days.
The reports which have come
in show that a large per cent
of the collection during the
month of August was made by
boys and girls.
“I am proud of the way our
boys and girls have taken hold
of this important job,” Mr. Car-
roll stated and urged them to
continue the drive searching
their own farms for scrap iron
and assisting their neighbors in
collecting scrap on other farms.
The least we can do at home is
to supply our armies with the
needed equipment. This may be
done by selling scrap iron and
buying war bonds and stamps.
