ORR AND COUNTY AGENT ADAMS JOINT HOSTS The eighth annual conference of rural pastors and agricultural service workers in four north¬ western counties of Georgia— Dade, Catoosa, Walker and Whitfield—was held in Trenton on Wednesday, May 29, with Rev. T. N. Orr and County Agent L. C. Adams as joint hosts. The conference convened at the Trenton Methodist Church at 9 o’clock, opening with a song service by Rev. Taylor Morton of LaFayette, and devotional by Rev. George W. Davis, pastor of Ringgold Methodist Church. Ordinary J. M. Carroll extend¬ ed a cordial welcome to the vis¬ iting delegation, followed by a solo, “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” by Miss Elsie Orr, accompanied by Mrs. M. R. Wilson at the piano. “Purposeful Peace” was the theme for the conference dis¬ cussions, which were conducted as a forum, led by S. G. Chand¬ ler, Assistant District Agent, Georgia Extension Service, and engaged in by Mrs. Ted Perkins, president Walker County Home Demonstration Council; Rev. Taylor Morton, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, LaFayette; Roy Moore, unit test demonstra¬ tion farmer, Dade county; Mrs. L. M. Allison, past-president of Trenton Garden Club; J. N. Roach, superintendent of Dade County High School; Miss Judy Kellerhals, president Catoosa County Older Youth Group; Rev. J. E. Phillips, pastor Methodist Church, Boynton; Dorsey Dyer, assistant county agent, Catoosa county; Miss Ruth Williams, su¬ perintendent of schools, Catoosa county; and D. C. Hinton, unit test demonstration farmer, of Whitfield county. The discussions were benefi¬ cial and entertaining, showing that deep thought and careful preparation had been given the subjects by the agricultural per¬ sonnel and ministry in their sin¬ cere effort to improve the relig¬ ious, social and economic con¬ ditions of the citizenship of our district. W. M. Landess, Agricultural Relations Division of TVA, spoke on “Truth and Freedom,” using slides to illustrate his lecture, which was enjoyed and appreci¬ ated by all present. At noon the conference ad¬ journed to the large stock and herb farm owned by Tom Sel- man, prominent and public- spirited citizen of Chattanooga, where, on the spacious lawn of the farm home, located atop a lofty knoll, commanding a mag¬ nificent view of the broad acres and surrounding territory, the delegates were served a real “ole time” Georgia chicken dinner. The repast had been prepared by the Women’s Society of Chris¬ tian Service of Rising Fawn Methodist Church, Ladies Aid, of Wildwood, and the Home De¬ monstration Clubs of Sand Mountain and Lookout Moun¬ tain, who maintained the tradi¬ tion of Georgia women as cooks and hostesses, which has been handed down from antte-bel- lum days. The dinner was greatly enjoy- e d, as was demonstrated by the w ay the plates were passed again and again for an addition¬ al helping of the delectable vi¬ ands that covered the lenghty tables spread under magnificent °ld oaks. After dinner the delegates as¬ sembled in a body on the lawn, where the afternoon session of the conference was held and of- icers elected for the coming year.

Feeding Poultry The Feed Short Period Discussed Reporting that the poultry feed shortage is becoming more critical in some areas of the state, County agent L. C. Adams this week gave Dade county poultry keepers suggestions for “wethering” feed-short periods. “Some broiler producers are marketing broilers before they are ready to market and a few counties have reported that lay¬ ing flocks are being sold,” Mr. Adams revealed. “If poultry raisers cannot buy starting or broiler mash -for their young chicks, they should change to any type poultry mash they can obtain. If only limited amounts of mash are obtainable, equal parts of corn meal may be mixed with the mash to make it go further. “When no mash of any type is available, poultry keepers may be forced to feed grain alone,” he continued. “A grain ration with no mash will slow down growth of chicks and may cause nutritional disorders if contin¬ ued longer than 2 weeks where chicks are raised in confine¬ ment.” , Whole wheat and cracked corn may be fed safely to chicks five weeks old. Whole corn and oats may be fed to chicks eight weeks old, the agent said. “For chicks under five weeks, grain should be ground. A good mixture is two parts ground corn, one part ground oats, one part ground wheat and one percent table salt. Any mixture of ground grains will do as a temporary measure for a week or two until regular mash is available.” Green feed should be provided to help offset the vitamin defi ciencies of the all-grain ration and the chick should be allowed access to direct sunlight to over¬ come any lack of vitamin D in the emergency ration, he advis ed. Young chickens on inade¬ quate rations are more likely to contract diseases. “Every effort should be made to get the flock back on regular rations as soon as possible,” the agent recommended. “In view of the feed situation, it may be best to market broilers at weights of two to two and one- quarter pounds. “Removing mash from the ra¬ tion of ithe laying flock will cause an immediate drop in egg production and may cause the layers’ to start molting,” Mr. Ad¬ ams declared. “Keep the lay¬ ing flock supplied with mash if it is at all possible. Cull the layers closely and keep only the best hens. Market any hens that are slowing down in production or have stopped laying.” Sand Mountain News By Mrs. Una Belle Stone Rev. John Reeves will preach at the Church of Christ next Sunday. He has just returned from a Bible school. Every one is cordially invited to come. Rev. Sneed of Chattanooga re¬ ally preached a splendid sermon last Sunday. There was a weiner roast Fri¬ day night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Crisp in honor of Miss Eunice Cuzzart.

More Than Third Cars Checked Fail To Come Up To Requirements During the first week of the Traffic Safety Check program being conducted - - - by the peace officers of Georgia, 6,205 cars were checked and 2,880 failed to meet requirements, Sergeant — H. C. - English, - - - who is in com¬ mand of the Dalton Post of the Georgia State Patrol, said. Motorists whose cars barely met requirements were urged to have adjustments or repairs made at once. “The results of the program are very encouraging,” Sergeant English said. “People have be¬ gun to realize that their cars must last for a long time yet and are cooperating with the police in these spot inspections. “For this program to be com¬ pletely successful, motorists should voluntarily take their cars to repair shops and have their lights, brakes, horn, wind¬ shield wiper and tires tested. Repairs should be made when necessary. In this way the haz¬ ards of traffic accidents will be greatly reduced,” Sergeant En¬ glish explained. The Traffic Safety Check pro¬ gram being conducted by your local police and the Georgia State Patrol is part of a national program in progress in all states. Throughout the nation drivers who are involved in traffic acci¬ dents and violations are being checked for drivers license and registration tags and their cars given spot-safety tests. At the present rate 1,000 peo¬ ple will be killed and 342,000 in¬ jured in Georgia during 1946. This toll would mean that scarcely an individual in Geor- gia could escape the tragedy of av i n g Qne one or or more mwe 0 ui f his «« cir v,**- business Qf friends .. . ° or^sociates^m g come a candidate for a hospital or the undertaker due to traffic accident. Vigorous and concert¬ ed action can and will correct this situation. Facts Every Driver Should Know If you are driving at 20 m.p.h. and have good brakes, you can stop your car in 30 feet. If your car requires greater distance to stop, have your brakes adjusted to avoid serious accidents. Traffic fatalities in the Uni¬ ted States were 17% higher in 1945 than they were in 1944. Re¬ sponsible authorities believe that rusty drivers urjvcio were wcic to w blame for much of the increase, Deaths and injuries from au- tomobile accidents are experienc- ing a “post war boom.” In Jan- „ ^ 3 000 Americans lost their lives in motor vehicle ac ac _ cidents—an increase of 49% over January of the previous year. Pre-war automobiles are rap¬ idly deteriorating. Until new cars are available in quantities the old cars constitute a serious accident hazard. It is estimated that nearly 20% of fatal acci¬ dents are caused by unsafe vehicles. “The driver’s vision was ob¬ scured.” That’s the reason giv¬ en for one out of every seven fatal accidents. Correcty oper¬ ating windshielp wipers, coupled with careful driving, will elimin¬ ate some of this hazard. Improper driving causes about half of the traffic fatalities. Speeding, failure to give right- of-way, and driving on the wrong side of the road, are most frequent infractions. Courtesy and caution could stop most of these accidents. Nearly two-thirds of the pe¬ destrians killed by motor vehi¬ cles were violating traffic rules. Crossing between intersections is the worst violation. It is a statement of the obvi¬ ous to say that the public ap¬ proves the idea that we should have safety on our highways, but public approval does not necessarily mean public support, and in the past a large part of the so-called support has been lip service. Approval has been most frequently applied to ac¬ tivities that affect the other fel¬ low. If there ever was a need for unselfish devotion to a sin¬ gle cause, it exists today in our quest for highway safety. In conclusion, Sergeant Eng- lish called upon the public to their full force of support Dade County’s Only Newspaper. NUMBER 22. Liens Club Enjoys Fry Tuesday Eve.
