courage ideas for the develop¬
ment of tourist attractions in the
cities, towns and rural areas of
Georgia was announced today by
the Georgia Power Company in
connection with the Better Home
Towns program.
All Georgians, except company
employes and members of their
families, may compete by sub¬
mitting letters of not more than
1,000 words on the subject “The
Tourists Are Coming!—How Can
My Community Attract Them?”
The contest opens on Monday,
Oct. 15, and will close at mid¬
night on Dec. 14.
Prizes will be awarded to win¬
ning contestants in three dif¬
ferent groups, with a $500 Vic¬
tory Bond as the top prize in
each. Boys and girls who do not
reach their 18th birthday before
Dec. 15,1945, will enter the Young
Folks Group. The Grown-ups
Group will include all contest¬
ants over 18 by that date, ex¬
cepting servicemen and women.
A special veterans group of
prizes will be offered exclusively
to servicemen and women whose
homes are in Georgia. Men and
women who served in the army,
marine corps or coast guard dur-
in World War II are eligible re¬
gardless of whether they are still
in service or have been discharg¬
ed.
In addition to the $500 first
prize, awards in the Young Folks
Group will include one $300 Vic¬
tory Bond, two $100 bonds, five
$50 bonds and 20 bonds of $25

the towns in which the three
first prize winners live. This
money is to be used for civic
improvements in whatever ways
the local authorities think best.
Decisions by the contest judges
will be made on the basis of in¬
formation and practical sug¬
gestions for increasing a com¬
munity’s attractiveness to tour¬
ists. Letters may be of any length
up to 1,000 words and must be

tractive to home folks and visi¬

these committees.

the important place that return¬
ing servicemen and women are

Our great Way-shower, stead¬
fast to the end in his obedience
to God's laws, demonstrated for
all time and peoples the suprem¬
acy of good over evil, and the
superiority of Spirit over mat¬
ter.—Mary Baker Eddy.
Seed Fumigation
Controls Weevils,
Farm Agent Sayr
Fumigation is one of the best
methods of controlling weevil
damage in seeds. County Agent
L. C. Adams pointed out thi 0
week, advising Dade County
oeople to protect seed beans
corn, popcorn, field peas and
similar items from weevil dam¬
age.
“This can be done easily by
fumigating with carbon disul¬
phide,” Mr. Adams said. “Various
quantities of seed can be placed
in suitable containers such as
glass jars, tin cans or buckets
and then placed in a larger con¬
tainer such as a barrel or oil
drum and fumigated.”
The Extension Service agent
recommended the following steps
in carrying out the fumigation
treatment:
1. Place the containers hold¬
ing the seed in the tight re¬
ntable with the taps so they
can be well exposed to the gas.
2. Place a plate or other shal¬
low container above the seed
and pour the liquid carbon di¬
sulphide into the container. Use
about one teaspoonful for each
two gallons of seed. The a-
"erial is inflammable.
3. Cover the container tight-
’y with paper and heavy sacks
or canvas on top of the paper.
4. After 24 hours remove cov-
m and leave containers open to
air out. The material will be safe
from fire when all odors have
disappeared.
5. After seeds have aired
thoroughly, cover and store in
suitable places. The use of car¬
bon disulphide on seeds is not
harmful to them for table use.
Further information on this
and other methods of treating
seeds for weevils are given in
the October garden map. Copies
of this Extension Service map
may be secured from the county
agricultural agent’s office.

TIRE APPLICATIONS NOT
FILLED OUT PROPERLY,
CHAIRMAN A.L. DYER SAYS
Work for people of the Dade
County War Price and Rationing
tire panel has been made more
difficult recently because ap¬
plications are not being filled
out properly, Chairman A. L.
Dyer said yesterday.
“Again we repeat our plea that
only the most essential drivers
apply and then only in the cases
of direst need,” he declared.
“Those that must apply, how¬
ever, should fill out the forms
or face delay in getting action
on their application.”
He added that all tire inspec¬
tors and dealers know how to
put the necessary information
on applications in the proper
places, and’ urged that everyone
making application for tires
make sure (he furnishes the*
board with the facts it must
have.
'ANTI-INFLATION WEEK'
HELD IN JACKSON, TENN.
An “Anti-Inflation Week” was
held in Jackson, Tenn., Chair¬
man A. L. Dyer of the Dade
County War Price and Rationing
Board disclosed yesterday, ad¬
ding that it would be the fore¬
runner of similar events
throughout the southeast.
“We need everyone’s under¬
standing of why the disastrous
‘boom and bust' that followed
the last war must be avoided
this time,” he asserted.
Mr. Dyer said he had no in¬
formation about when Dade
Countians might have a chance
to observe a “Victory Over In¬
flation” week.
“Every house wife, business¬
man, farmer and laborer must
realize his or her personal stake
in preventing an inflationary
spiral, and this is a grand way
of doing it,” he said.
RATIONING OF SHOES MUST
CONTINUE, CHAIRMAN SAYS
Shoe rationing must continue
until production more nearly
equals unrestricted demand, it
was announced yesterday b^
Chairman A. L. Dyer of the
Dade County War Price and Ra¬
tioning Board.
“No date can yet be fixed for
the termination of shoe ration¬
ing,” he declared.
Production of rationed-type
shoes during September was
about 23 million pairs,” Mr. Dyer
said, adding that this was "con¬
siderably less” than had been
anticipated early in the month.
He said that OPA and the War
Production Board were both
anxious to get shoes off the
ration list “as soon as possible,”
but repeated that the exact time
when this will be possible could
not yet be determined. z z
The divine ruling gives prud¬
ence and energy; it banishes for¬
ever all envy, rivalry, evil think¬
ing. evil speaking and acting;
and mortal mind, thus purged,
obtains peace and power outside
of itself.—Mary Baker Eddy.

The proposed water system for
Trenton seems to be getting
plenty of comment and that is
about all. While everyone, it
seems, is in favor of a new water
system, but as far for the actual
“signing up” process, it is mov¬
ing along very slowly.
Now is the time for all who
want this new water system to
let it be known by signing up.
Everyone, we believe, in Dade
County is anxious for Dade
County to grow. We believe they
want new enterprises in the
county, and in order to get this
we must have the necessary
utilities to bring new businesses
to this county, and of course an
adequate water supply plays a
big part in inducing them to
build in Dade County.

TEMPERATENESS
The temperate are the most
truly luxurious. By abstaining
from most things, it is surpris¬

—William Gilmore Simms.
The golden rule in life is mod¬

It is certainly a very important
lesson, to learn how to enjoy
ordinary things, and to be able
to relish your being, without the
transport of some passion, or the
gratification of some appetite-
Steele.
Be temperate in thought, word,
and deed. Meekness and temper¬
ance are the jewels of Love, set
in wisdom.—Mary Baker Eddy.
Temperance is the firm and
moderate dominion of reason
over passion and other unright¬
eous impulses of the mind.—
Cicero.
Moderate desires constitute a
character fitted to acquire all the
good which the world can yield.
