THE HOME COMING
Our Homecoming day is over.
The governor has come and gone.
Few people turned out to hear
him, probably under 400 with a
county population of over 6,0001
It is no wonder that Dade has
not been honored more often by
a visit from her Chief Executive.
Those of you who didn’t come
missed a very special occasion
The governor shook hands and
spoke a word or two with almost
everyone present. His person¬
ality is that of a neighbor and
friend. No back slapping, loud
talking and insincere pleasant¬
ries. He is a quiet kind of per"
and appeared attentive to what
son and appeared attentive to
what w r as being said to him-
In his talk he outlined his
road building program and the
development of State Parks for
Georgia. You, yourself know
that when you have a day off
or take a holiday you choose a
place for fishing, swimming or
just plain rest in a beautiful spot
We know that the choice of the
place we go may depend upon
the condition of the road which
is to take us there. We also
know that we spend some money
on this holiday. It is the gover¬
nor's hope that the State Parks
in Georgia can be made into
these holiday places with good
highways to take us to them-
The money we, our neighbors,
and our neighbors throughout
the country spend at these parks
would bring in money to the
state treasury and as the gover¬
nor said, “then Georgia would
really blossom like the rose.’’
RECREATION CENTER?
Dallin in Dade last week
carried a plea for a Community
House and a sound recreation
program. It doesn’t seem as
though it should be the teen¬
agers who have to ask for this
but it seems to apply here as
well as elsewhere that the reason
the children don’t have a
suitable place for recreation is
inertia on our part.
I have talked to many parents
throughout the county and
everyone is in favor of the idea
but—•
Quoting from the Georgia
Citizens Council whose report
we carried in full in the June 12
issue of The Times—“there are
708,000 boys and girls between
the ages of 7 and 17 in Georgia.
Two-thirds of them are not
members of any of the thirteen
youth serving agencies operating
in Georgia.”
The 4H clubs, Future Farmers
and Future Homemakers of A-
merica which throughout the
state report only 19% of this 7
to 17 population is Dade’s only
youth serving agency-—“This is
indicative of the complacency
behind which we all are hiding—
We are shirking our responsibil¬
ity.”
The children seem
gotten tired of waiting—around
the Masonic Hall in Trenton is
considerable land which the Ma¬
sons have already voted could
be used for a recreation center.
When the children approached
the Masons about also using
their hall, the Masons published
notice of a called meeting to
hear what was asked of them.
At this called meeting on
Tuesday night, there were about
40 teen-agers, a few parents and
a goodly number of Masons
present—as one of the Masons
expressed it. "Matters have
come to a pretty bad pass when
the children instead of their
elders have to take it upon
themselves to petition for a
Community House.”
During the meeting it was
gratifying to see the response
these children received—of
course, money would be needed
but TIME from the parents is
also needed. At last it does look
as though this Time may be
forthcoming. The children were
charged with getting all the
children they could to come to
a meeting and get organized-
Parents — and adults — let's
back our children. This is a lit¬
tle beginning of a great*big pro¬
ject. It is a good one and it is
right for our children to have
a place where they may gather
for games and recreation under
proper adult supervision.
Let’s make this project grow
until by some means it can em¬
brace ail of Dade’s children—
give a little of your Time in or¬
der to keep our children from
having to seek their pleasures,
we know not where.
MR. LANHAM AND THE
TAFT-HARTLEY LABOR BILL
In order that our readers may
have both sides of a question of
interest, we are publishing Mr.
Lanham’s complete letter, which
is self-explanatory:
Washington, D. C., July 1st, 1947.
Mrs. Catherine Morrison
The Dade County Times
Trenton, Georgia
Dear Mrs. Morrison:
I note with interest that you
copied the editorial or news story
from one of the Dalton papers
about my vote on the so-called
Taft-Hartley Bill- I noted with
special interest the query pro¬
pounded by you in your editorial
as to whether or not I would
claim that I voted against the
Bill because it was sponsored by
the Republican Party.
As a matter of fact ,1 never
vote for or against a measure
because it is sponsored by any
party. I try to determine what
is best as each bill comes up for
action and vote accordingly. I
voted against the anti-labor Bill
because I thought its total effect
would be to discourage and ham¬
per union organization and
cause I believed it would reduce
to ineffectiveness the one wea¬
pon the working people have for
bettering their pay and working
conditions. As the case is always
with what is called “omnibus
bills,” such as this, there is a
mixture of much that is both
good and bad- We Congressmen
simply have to determine the
total effect of the Bill and de¬
termine whether or not the good
or bad out-weighs and vote ac¬
cordingly.
I read your paper with inter¬
est and am always happy to have
you express your views. May I
thank you for publishing my
reports each week? I assure
you I appreciate this very much.
The people seem to appreciate
my willingness to make these
reports as I am constantly being
told that they enjoy reading
them.
I regret very much that I was
not able to accept the invitation
of the Lions Club to be with you
on the Fourth of July.
Sincerely yours,
Henderson Lanham.

THE DADE COUNTY GAZETTE
Rising Fawn, Ga., December 18, 1879.
This little anecdote was pub¬
lished on the front page under
the heading “Angels Don’t Chew
Tobacco:”
A Methodist minister, the Rev.
Mr. H-----, was a good man, but
rough in his way, and very fond
of chewing tobacco.
One day he was caught in a
shower in Illinois, and going to
a rude cabin nearby, he knocked
at the door. A sharp-looking
old dame answered his summons.
He asked for shelter.
“I don’t know you,” she re¬
plied, suspiciously.
“Remember the Scriptures,”
said the dominie-
"Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels.”
“You needn't say that,” quickly
replied the lady, “No angel
would come down here with a
big quid of tobacco in his
mouth.”
She shut the door in his face,
leaving the good man to the
mercy of the rain and his own
reflections.

ARMY APPLICANTS ARE
GIVEN CHOICE
A new plan for the enlistment
of high school graduates ip the
army has Ipeen released by the
War Department, S/'Sgt. Curtis
L. McRea, local recruiting offi¬
cer, announced last week.
A graduate may now apply and
be selected for a specialized army
air force training course of his
choice prior to enlistment and
without obligation. McRea said.
Applicants are instructed to
write directly to the command¬
ing general, ATRC, Barksdale
Field, La. In addition to the
usual Information given the let¬
ter must be accompanied by a
transcript of high school credits
and three letters of recommend¬
ation. Each applicant is also
asked to list three courses in
order of preference.
The air training command will
review all applications and notify
applicants of acceptance or re-
jection. The procedure takes
place before enlistment-
The courses that are available
to three-year enlistees are fabric
and dope mechanic airplane
applied to repairing the school
house.
We are pained to chronicle
the death of Mr. Rich Blevins,
which occured at his home near
Deer Head Cove last week. He
was one of the oldest citizens of
that county, and was for a long
time, a Primitive Baptist preach¬
er.
Tom Alley, the efficient book
keeper at the works, made a
flying trip to Chattanooga this
week.
James C. Warren and Company
“Mammoth Stock of Goods-
Provisions for the Millions.”
We take great pleasure in
calling to your attention the
store of Mr. Warren at the fur¬
nace. It is no doubt the largest
establishment in this County,
and one of the largest retail
houses in the state. They carry
an immense stock of dry goods,
groceries, boots, shoes, hats,
clothing, provisions, and every¬
thing a person could think of as
merchandise. An examination
will pay you. Give them a call.
From Dade Mont
Ed. Gazette—We are still able
to retain a hope for the future,
although disunion is painted on
gloomy clouds; Yet with a few
potatoes, some corn, lots of tur¬
nips, and occasionally a piece of
wild hog to go with them, we
are still thriving so far as the
necessities of life are concerned.

NOTICE
To: William D. Jacoway, Geo.
H. Jacoway. Mrs. Lou Jacoway
Killian and Charles C. Smith, Jr.
non-resident defendants in the
above styled cause:—
You are hereby notified that
on June 9, 1947, Mary Frances

Court of Dade County, Georgia,
County Agent’s
Column
The amount of labor needed
to produce a crop, and the feed it
will provide should be considered
among steps to keep farm pro¬
duction costs in line. This sim¬
ply means making the most of
feeds that give most nutrients
for the least labor. Certainly
this means making the most of
good pastures, since good pas¬
tures produce more feed per
day’s work than any other crop.
It takes about six and one
half days’ work to produce an
acre, or approximately 4,230
pounds of digestible nutrients
per acre, or approximately 650
pounds per day’s work. A crop
of oats yielding 70 bushels per
acre requires about three days
labor and contains about 3,400
pounds of digestible nutrients, or
about 1,100 pounds per day’s
work.
Average pasture, which takes
about one-half day’s work per
acre, yields about 500 pounds of
digestible nutrients per acre, or
about 1,000 pounds per day’s
labor. Pastures capable of sup¬
porting a cow per acre require
about one day’s labor per acre
per year and yield about 2,000
pounds of digestible nutrients per
acre and per day’s work. While
pastures produce digestible nu¬
trients at a low rate per acre,
they produce at a high rate per
day’s work because so little labor
is needed. Development of
good pastures, therefore is one
of the best means of offsetting
high farm labor costs by low-
cost production, or high pro¬
duction per worker.
Indications are now that less
than one-half of the tractor
owners in Dade County are tak¬
ing advantage of the gasoline tax
refund to which they are entit¬
led-
Mr. F. C. Leonard, field agent
of the tax unit, State of Georgia,
will be in Trenton, July 18th, at
the Court House, at 10 o’clock
for the purpose of assisting
farmers in making application
for tax refund certificate.
Farmers who are burning gaso¬
line in their tractors should
take advantage of this oppor¬
tunity.
Permits now held by farm¬
ers have run out and it is neces¬
sary that they be renewed. This
can be done with Mr. Leonard or
application can be secured from
the County Agent's office.
