Georgia Ranks High
As Chioce Of
War Veterans
Third In the Nation in
Percentage Gain of Pros¬
pective New Settlers
Georgia stands third in the
entire nation as to percentage
net gain of war veterans it is
attracting as settlers, as indica¬
ted by information given by the
vets themselves on Armiy sepa¬
ration cards at the various Sep¬
aration Centers.
Texas stands first and Penn¬
sylvania second. Illinois is next
after Georgia, then Missouri,
and then New York state.
Veterans already residents of
Georgia who are seekng employ¬
ment in this state number 81.4
per cent; Georgia veterans seek¬
ing employment in other states
number 5.4 per cent; and veter¬
ans of other states seeking em¬
ployment in Georgia number
13.2 per cent, or a net gain of
7.8 ~ per r cent. i
For Texas „ the percentages , , for
the above are 77.4, 3.7, an 8.9,
or a gain of !5.2 per cent.
Pennsylvania: 80.5,2.3 and 17.-
2 per cent, or a gam of 14.9 per
cent.
Illinois: 76.7, 8.02 and 15.1 pel
cent, or a gain of 6.9 per cent

Other states . , made , . . but .
„ gams „
most of them show 1 = as
based on the national report of
the Selective Service System for
the month of October, 1945.
The ahov' 1 information was
sen recently by Col. James N.
Keelin, Jr., state director of the
Unied States Employment Serv-
eic Colone 1 Keelin wrote:
“There is enclosed for your in¬
formation a percentage tabula¬
tion for -each state in the Union
showing the percentage of regis¬
trants seeking employment in
the state, percentage of Georgia
residents seeking employment in
other states and the percentage
of registrants of other states
seeking employment in Georgia
This tabulation is for the month
of October and is based on the
stated intentions of the Veterans
at the Army Separation Cen¬
ters. iBy comparing the out¬
migration of Georgia Veterans
with the in-migration of Veter¬
ans from other states, it appears
that Georgia has experienced a
net gain of 7.8 per cent for the
month reported on.”
Farming By Families
The year’s end brings a report
to this desk from the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture which is of
interest to us in Dade county.
The number of farm operators
decreased during the war but
it is predicted that before long
the number of family farms will
greatly increase. Those who
study the farm programs from
more intimate contact with the
land, contend there will be a de¬
cided advance in family farm¬
ing in the next ten years. Mod¬
ernization of farms due to added
income, buying new equipment,
the low farm mortgages and
planned extension of rural pow¬
er lines all indicate that such
predictions are reasonable to ex¬
pect. The Department says this
“After every major war in the
last century in which this coun¬
try was engaged, there was a
back-to-the-land movement by
returning veterans, industrial
workers and others dislocated by
he war. The land, likewise, has
n periods of unemployment and
all times for many elderly
ind disabled people in search of
ecurity and a home. It is rea-
onable to expect that in the
’ears following this war there

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1946.
Fear Not Used In
Drive Here For
Polio Fund
Though infantile paralysis is
one of the most dreaded of dis¬
eases, fear will not be used as a
basis for appealing for funds to
help stamp it out, L. S. Renfro,
general chairman for Dade
county committee for the infan¬
tile paralysis campaign, stated
“We do not try to frighten
people into giving but it seems
only fair to set forth the facts
as they come to light,” he said.
The local campaign is part of
a national effort, half the funds
remaining in Dade county, the
remainder going to the national
foundation. Money retained
here is used in giving assistance
to cases stricken one or more
years ago, u r hile national assist¬
ance is given in case of polio
epidemic, Renfro said.
“Last year the national foun¬
dation sent several thousand
dollars back, to Georgia counties
where there were outbreaks,”
he said. Polio is the most un¬
predictable of all diseases. The
number of cases may vary great¬
ly from year to year, cases sky¬
rocketing in certain communi¬
ties in 1945. This unpredicta¬
ble experience causes the nation¬
al foundation to be prepared for
any emergency, regardless of
where it may strike.”
Contributions should be sent
to the Dade County Infantile
Paralysis Committee, in care of
Mr Rennfro’s office at the Geor¬
gia Power Company, in the
Times Building, Trenton.

God is our refuge and strength
a very present help in trouble.
—Psalms 46:1.
As we enter this New Year
and look back over the past one,
I am sure we have much to
praise God for. Too many bless¬
ings for us to count, and one of
these blessings is that our coun
try is at peace. How much we
should praise Him for that!
Perhaps there isn’t a person who
during the past year didn’t have
some hard problem to solve, or
some severe test to go through.
But, beloved, have you ever no¬
ticed that when we need God He
is always near? and with ten¬
derness He helps us so sweetly,
though He may not lift all the
burden immediately. Sinner
friend, our hearts go out in love
and tenderness to you, because
you do not have our blessed Sav¬
iour to help you bear your bur¬
dens. But He wants to be your
burden-bearer if you will let
Him come into your heart and
life, and you will find that He
is a friend that “sticketh closer
than a brother.”

An Humble Token;
A Thousand Thanks
Now that we have won a great
victory over the most cruel foes
the world has ever knowm, we
have cause to rejoice and offer
our grateful thanks to the De¬
liverer and Protector of all man¬
kind.
Wo can show our appreciation
in a very substantial manner by
our donations to the Victory
Clothing Collection that is now
being made throughout the na¬
tion.
More than a hundred million
human beings, aged men and
women, are helpless and home¬
less and destitute of clothing,
victims of a war that was thrust
upon the world by mad men,
seeking power and glory and do¬
minion over the world.
The Christian religion is bas¬
ed upon charity, and the citizens
of Dade county have never fail¬
ed to answer a call to relieve
suffering humanity. Now is the
time and occasion when we can
and. must demonstrate our char¬
ity by giving liberally, cheerful¬
ly of our old and worn cloth¬
ing during this Victory Clothing
Collection.
Reports coming from numerous
neighborhoods and public
schools of Dade county tell of
the successful collection of clo¬
thing.
Mrs. Burma Clark, principal
of the West Brow school, writes
that the children of her school
have brought several useful ar¬
ticles of clothing, all washed*
mended, and. pressed, ready for
shipment to the destitute peo¬
ples of Europe. Mr. J. V. Rich¬
ards of Shanty Town, Sand
Mountain, reports that the citi¬
zens of his community are also
contributing generously to the
Victory Clothing Collection.
Many other communities and
schools are perhaps contribut¬
ing most liberally and an urgent
appeal is being made to make
haste in bringing donations to
the nearest stations. As the
days are passing rapidly by, the
Victory Clothing Collection offi¬
cially ends on January 31, and
Dade county MUST, as usual,
go “over the top” in this drive.
Remember, worn shoes, coats
trousers, dresses and underwear
for adults and children, are ac¬
ceptable
Even though the article may
be worn and patched, if it is
warm, and serviceable, it will be
of great value to some suffer¬
ing victims of war.
WHAT YOU CAN SPARE
THEY CAN WEAR !
Paying Too Much
The cost of building materials
is so terrific in many places that,
even if materials were available
the average man can’t afford to
go into it at the present. It
has been figured that building a
six-room house in Philadelphia
costs $9,000, in Chicago, Los An¬
geles, Sanfrancisco and Cleve-
it would be $10,000, and in Wash¬
ington, D. C., the same house
would be $15,000. In Detroit
that house costs $12,00, and back
in 1940 you could have erected
it for $8,000. This increase is
far too much although we know
certain increase is necessary
There are a number of reasons
why costs are higher but when
certain union rules in various
areas keep the laborer from put¬
ting in a full day’s work for a
full day’s pay, then such an ad¬
vanced building cost is unfair
It happens that there are cities
where if an electrician or plum¬
ber find the work going along
smoothly and finish installing
their fixtures two hours early
they go home and the basis of
pay is still for eight hours in¬
stead of six. With many veter¬
ans planning on building homes
we don’t feel that they should
have to suffer from such an un¬
fair practice. A legitimate cost
is executed but at least those ex¬
soldiers should investigate be¬
fore they leap, for none of us
of Dade county want THEM
flim-flammed.

soldier friends in Florida, and
will also visit Mr. and Mrs. A1
Simmons at Panama City.

partment welcomes the oppor¬
tunity to assist in the develop¬
ment of woodlands.
Dade Teams Win
Double Header
Dade teams won a double-
header Tuesday night from Lee
High, with the girls winning by
a score of 10 to 6 in a tight de¬
fensive game all the way, with
Pollie Gossett leading the scor¬
ing with 6 points.
The boys had a very easy time
winning 18 to 26, as they never
really put themselves into the
game. The Dade boys used 11
players in the game. Glenn
Roach and M. L. Carr led the
scoring with 9 and 8 points, re¬
spectively, with Riddle Whitte-
more and Crane doing a bang-
up job on defense.
The teams will travel to Menlo
Friday night.

What Are You
Doing, Christian
By Louise Daniel
Has someone seen Christ in you
today?
Oh, Christian, look to your heart
I pray: f
The little things you have done
or said—
Did they accord with the way
you prayed?
When you go to the places of
sin, you are helping the devil to
win,
You crucify Christ afresh and
put Him to an open shame.
The world with a criticising
view has watched, but did it see
Christ in you?
There are acheing hearts and
blighted souls
Being lost on sin’s destructive
shoals,
And perhaps of Christ their
only view
May be what they see of Him
in you.
Will they see enough to bring
hope and cheer?
Look to your light; does it
shine out clear?
Oh, Christian, let us seek to
have the Saviour’s mind,
And then our light will bright¬
er shine.
