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 ce ” ' 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 ^ :“ pt be K b more y P e °P le t0 J fmd n ° rmal 0PP° rtu - “2?

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. Cave Springs News Mrs. Eldie Grant 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.” * * * Mr. Canova Guinn, who is employed in Birmingham, join¬ ed his family here for the week¬ end.

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. Pfe. Coy Graves is visiting his soldier friends in Florida, and will also visit Mr. and Mrs. A1 Simmons at Panama City. Dade County’s Only Newspaper. Forest Management Marketing Service Offered By State The Georgia Department of Forestry is offering a timber marketing and management ser¬ vice to landowners in the state designed to improve woodland md increase the revenues, it was announced by Director J. M. Tinker. The service program is as follows: 1. To make a study of wood¬ land at request of landowner. 8. Mark timber for selective cutting. 3. Furnish landowner with volume of timber marked for se¬ lective cutting. 4. Furnish landowner with sample timber-sale contract. 5. Assist landowner in secur¬ ing market for timber if desired 6. Prepare a working plan on all acres in woodland or that should be devoted to growing trees. The landowner is required to furnish a helper to locate land lines, and paint for marking trees. Tinker asserted that this de¬ 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. NUMBER 3.
