W- HALE An election has been called by Judge J. M- Carroll, for the elec¬ tion of a Justice of Peace for the Rising Fawn District (1038), to fill the unexpired term of the late deceased W. W. Hale- Jan¬ uary 11, 1947, is date selected, and Miss Ola Moss, R- P. Fricks, W- H. Kennimer are the free¬ holders who have been selected to hold the election. For more than 30 years Es¬ quire W. W. Hale served the peo¬ ple of his district as their Justice of Peace, making a record in service that gave him national recognition. Four or five of Rising Fawn’s worthy citizens are spoken of as being interested in the election, and may enter the race, but the names of the prospective candi¬ dates have not as yet been an¬ nounced- New Sugar Stamp Available January 1 STAMP NO. 53 GOOD FOR SUGAR JANUARY FIRST Spare stamp No- 53 will be good for five pounds of sugar be¬ ginning January 1, and an ad¬ ditional ration may become a- vailable within four months OPA has announced. It is anticipated that the sec¬ ond consumer stamp for 1947 will be validated before stamp 53 expires on April 30. OPA pointed to Agriculture Department estimates that the new sugar crop may be suffi¬ ciently large to allow an addi¬ tional five pounds of sugar a person in 1947. This would make a total of 20 pounds on the regular ration stamps. Three regular stamps were val¬ idated during 1946 allowing a total of 15 pounds per person, in addition to two home-canning stamps good for five pounds each. TRENTON METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CELE¬ BRATES YULETIDE WITH CHRISTMAS TREE Marking the First Day of the Week as opening the Happy Christmas Season, members of the Methodist Sunday classes entertained their ,iuve nile members with a Christmas tree Sunday night. The Trenton Methodist church was beautifully decorated with holiday colors, emblematic of the Season of Good Cheer, with a large Christmas tree, all adorn¬ ed with tinsel and snow, lacking only the usual bright little lights, which were unavailable. Under the tree, piled high, were gifts for every one, young and old. Services opened with the trained choir singing traditional Christmas carols, with the lights turned low, followed by an excel¬ lent program rendered by mem¬ bers of the children’s Sunday School classes, under the direc tion of their teachers. Misses Elaine Dyer and Betty Jean Cureton. At conclusion of the enjoya¬ ble program Ole’ Santa Claus appeared through a side door and began a distribution of pres¬ ents, first to the little folk, then to those who were not so little nor young. No one was over¬ looked. Eager faces, sparkling eyes and happy smiles of the child ten, together with the tinkle of Santa Claus’ bell, made a happy finale for the occasion, and Jol ly Ole St. Nick retired to his North Pole residence, to remain until another Christmas season, 1947, when he will return again to gladden the hearts of the children of men. The Cyclorama building in Atlanta houses the famous painting of the Battle of Atlan¬ ta. This painting is 400 feet in circumference and 50 feet high.

County Agent Gives Some Pointers On Winter Feeding To maintain good milk pro¬ duction during the winter months, dairy cows need proper feeding, County Agent L. C. Ad¬ ams told Dade county farmers this week. “The winter ration must be adequate in quantity, suitable in quality and low in cost,” Mr. Adams pointed out. “The best way to obtain good milk pro duction during the winter months, when average produc¬ tion drops, is to produce sum¬ mer conditions as far as possi¬ ble.” Provide succulent winter feed with supplemental pasture of small grains, legumes and rye grass or silage or root crops, such as turnips or mangles, the county agent said- Dairy farm¬ ers will find it highly profitable to provide one of these feeds or a combination of them. Supple¬ mental grazing or root crops will do the job if the herd is too small to make a silo practical. “Too many small herds go thru the winter without any succu¬ lent feed. Coarse, unpalatable hay results in low milk produc¬ tion. If no succulent feed is available, a cow should be pro¬ vided with 20 to 25 pounds of high quality hay, or all she will clean up. With succulent feed, only half of this amount of hay is required,” the agent said. It is important to give cows plenty of good roughage, the county agents said further. A hungry cow is never profitable. Good roughage means grazing or leafy, peagreen hay which is pal¬ atable and high in nutritive val¬ ue. Most hay is coarse and poor¬ ly cured. In addition to good roughage, which is the basis of the winter ration,’ the cow needs about one pound of grain for each three pounds of milk she produces. Keep the cow comfortable during the winter months by providing warm, well-bedded stalls to help obtain good milk production. Cold rains and wind will lower milk production, the county agent ponted out. TRENTON LODGE l O. F.
