VOLUME XLVI.
Housewives Urged To
Give Peaches Place
In Summer Diet .
Plenitude, like politics, makes
strange bed-fellows—and it’s
peaches and potatoes this
month, according to G. C. Grif¬
fin, county administration offi¬
cer of the Agricultural Conser¬
vation Association.
Southern states, he said, are
producing this year the second
largest peach crop in history,
thus placing this luscious fruit
in the same category with Irish
potatoes as the most abundant
food now on the local markets
Mr. Griffin said the peach crop
in nine other states bounded by
and including Mississippi, Ten¬
nessee, Kentucky, and Virginia,
this year totals 22,729,000 bush¬
els—second only to last year’s
record-breaking crop of 23,666,-
000 bushels, and more than 85
per cent greater than the aver¬
age for the 10-year period of
1935-44.
In Georgia, he said, this year’s
peach production is estimated at
6.392.000 bushels, compared to
8.091.000 bushels last year, ■ac¬
cording to Bureau of Agricultu¬
ral Economics figures.
“To move such a tremendous
crop to market,” he said, “and
to avoid any waste of such a
valuable crop, will require the
united cooperation of transpor¬
tation and marketing facilities,
plus the help of consumers.
Waste will inevitably result un¬
less peaches are given an in¬
creasingly important place in
the summer diet.”
He urged homemakers to take
full advantage of the abundance
of peaches during the next few
weeks, and not only to make
use of them in menu planning
but in home canning operations.

APPRECIATES THE
LIBRARY BOOKS
To the Dade County Times:
Please allow me space in your
fine paper to thank those who
made it possible for the people
of our community get the Walk¬
er County library books during
the school vacation. Not only
the school children have enjoyed
the books, but the grown-ups
as well. I know what having
these books has meant to my
family, and I am sure they have
been a pleasure and help to
others also, and I think they all
join me in a great big THANK
YOU.
Mrs. Ora Pike, of the Hene-
gar Store community.

BAD WEATHER
By Menchew Macbeth
CHAPTER TWO
She was tired. Her heart was
heavy with worry and dread,
of fighting against a cruel in¬
different world for a decent ex¬
istence. She thought of the
crippled orphan she had come
so far to help. She MUST find
a job! She tried to stretch out
on the hot sticky leather seat
in the ladies’ waiting room and
catch a nap but it was an im¬
possibility. Her stomach was
so empty, her head in a drunk¬
en whirl! She looked up star¬
tled at the sound of a man’s
footsteps and sat up in painful
embarrassment as a train con¬
ductor came into the room. “Oh”
he said, “It’s you.” “It’s awful
hot, ain’t it?” she said hurriedly
almost recoiling in horror when
she felt his hand on her hair.
“You’ve got mighty purty hair,”
he said smiling. Found a job
yet?” “No,” she answered suff¬
ering acutely in his presence
half expecting him to order her
out or report her to the police
or worse still, to insult her.
“Well,” he went on, “I just step¬
ped in here to see if we were
leaving anyone,” then added as
an afterthought, “if you’re still
here Friday I’ll help you with a
job. I know about everybody.”
“I hope it’s not wrong for me
to stay in here—” her voice wts
low and sick. “Not at all!” he
said heartily going out the door
looking back over his shoulder
he paused to say, “We are glad
to help you!” and was gone.
She would accept almost any
job she thought miserably to
be away from this waiting room
when he returned. She didn’t
even question her future but
prayed God to see her safely
through this nite—to let her get
job tomorrow! Meanwhile the
walking so furiously up and
outside was shaking his
trying to clear it of obsti¬
cobwebs that persisted in
on—the nite shades
fully shadowed the land as
went back into the station
eyes hunting about the huge
room for the woman—
was not there! He drew in
long sharp breath of dismay,
was gone! A feeling of
haste filled him making
feet want to run but he re¬
the impulse with diffi¬
and walked into the res¬
,at the rear near the
platform she was not
a sickness filled his being
was never kind to him she
have left on the train pull¬
out! Automatically he
Stumbled to the privacy of the
rest room and took a long
pull on the bottle
he carried in his hip pock¬
et. It did not occur to him
she would be in the ladies’
room. He walked back
through the main room and
beside the place where
had been sitting, starring
at the bench his glance
wandered listlessly about his
shoulders sagged as he went on
toward its entrance as chance or
fate would have it he passed
the door to the ladies’ waiting
room and saw the top of a
brown head inside. It caused
the blood to freeze in his veins.

Children Of Baptist
Home Get Pet Pony
It was almost like Christmas
on the campus of the Georgia
Baptist Children’s Home this
week. There was excitement
everywhere. A generous family
in Atlanta sent to the Home a
beautiful thoroughbred pony
named Thunder. It did not
take many minutes for the news
to get around and for the pony
to be surrounded by hundreds
of little folk, eager to touch his
shining coat, or to let him kiss
their hands. He was hugged
and petted by everybody that
could get close enough. When
told that nobody that weighed
over 75 pounds could mount
him, there was a scurry to the
scales, and much concern on the
part of those who found the
scales showing them weighing
above 75 pounds. What the
Home will save by those going
on diet to reduce will probably
pay for the care of the pony.
