Devoted to The Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. VOLUME Bond Campaign Is Dragging Badly In Dade County Bond sales ip the current Vic¬ tory Eighth are below par, a poll of several authorized iss¬ uing agencies revealed yester¬ day. Reports ranged anywhere from “dragging” to “not so well” However, as in other bond campaigns, the beginning is’nt anything to set the world afire, but Dade County has never fall¬ en down on the job in the prev¬ ious seven drives, and basing predictions on history, the Vict¬ ory Eighth will go over the top, but only if local purchasers con¬ tinue to buy. The goal for Dade County is $20,000, with all of it in the “E” or “man in the street” series- J. M. Carroll, Chairman of the campaign in Dade County, said “I feel certain of the fact that the county will again exceed its quota- Our people knew the meaning of this final bond drive and will not fall down on the job.” Attendance Drive For Red Cross Underway In Dade Now American Red Cross enroll¬ ment of 100 per cent in the county and city schools is the goal set for he November 1-15 membership campaign, it was announced here today by Mrs. Grace Nethery, Junior Red Cross chairman of Dade chapter. “The object of the program, which is service to others in both the immediate community and on the national and inter¬ national levels is being achieved through the schools of the coun¬ try without fanfare, often with little or no recognition from outside sources,” Mrs- Nethery said- “The results deserve at¬ tention from every parent whose child is participating in the pro¬ gram and from every citizen whose community is benefiting by it.” According to Mrs. Nethery, the fall and winter program will put particular emphasis upon inter¬ national and interracial rela¬ tions with forums and discussion groups encouraged to keep abreast of latest world develop¬ ments. Home nursing and fire-fight¬ ing and prevention will be a Junior Red Cross project taught in all public schools of Dade county. Returning Veterans Need Security Cards A veteran returning to a civil¬ ian job in commerce or industry will need a Social Security Card when he goes to work, declared Lewis R. Stein, Jr., manager of the Chattanooga, Tennessee, So¬ cial Security Board field office today. If his card was lost or misplaced while in service, a du¬ plicate or an original card if he did not have one before going to war, may be secured at no cost by applying at the nearest Social Security field office. Any post office will give the address of the office serving his territory. “If he had a card before going to war,” Mr. Stein said, “he should not get a new number. The same number he had before entering the service is the num¬ ber he should now have if he and his family are to have Old-Age and Survivors Insurance bene¬ fits to which they may be en¬ titled in the future.” Special Notice All persons are warned not to hunt or trespass on the prop¬ erty of the names of the people listed below: E. p.

NUMBER 46. Adequate Capital Now In South For Backing New Ventures Atlanta, Nov- 14—Time was when about the only assets the South could boast of were its natural resources, its climate and the character of its people. Today, however, Georgia and the South have another and all- important resource — adequate capital for carrying out any worth-while undertaking. Thus declared L. L- Geller- stedt, executive vice president of the Citizens and Southern Na¬ tional Bank and a past president of the Atlanta Chamber of Com¬ merce, in an interview with the Atlanta Journal, in which he emphasized that banks of the South today are highly aggress¬ ive in seeking all the good cred¬ its that are available at this time. In the interview, Mr. Gellerstedt said in part: “The resources of Southern banks have grown to the extent that they are capable today of financing Southern industry of any size- No longer is it neces- essary, as was the case from the end of the War Between the States until the late Nineties, for Southern industry to go to any other section for credit. “The South’s banks feel that they can make a very definite contribution to the region’s in¬ dustrialization. The banks of the larger cities are trying to make their contribution to the development not only of the metropolitan centers alone but of the entire area by participat¬ ing, whenever asked, with the banks of the smaller cities in sound loans in cases in which the latter do not feel they are able to provide the entire amount needed. “The South’s banks are in¬ tensely interested in adequat fi¬ nancing not only for industry but for agriculture as well .... This inevitable increasing indus¬ trialization will* provide the means of developing a more di¬ versified agriculture also, for larger industrial payrolls mean a larger consuming population. These industries further will be¬ come large consumers of our own agricultural products.” “In short,” concluded the banker, “we have the necessary resources; we have the labor; we have adequate finances, and we possess numerous other as¬ in the South today. If we just willing to put the thought, the courage, and the hard work that is essential to bring about the development that is possible in the South, that development will be assured.” Unit Of Wesleyan Service Guild Is Organized In Dade A unit of the Womens Division the Wesleyan Service Guild organized at the Trenton church Sunday after¬ November 11.
