THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1947. Terminal Leave Bonds Can Now Be Cashed The Government started cash¬ ing terminal pay bonds Tuesday. Uncle Sam is urging ex-GIs to hold on to those bonds, but an estimated 50 per cent of Georgia veterans are expected to turn their bonds into immediate cash. Ex-GIs were cautioned that the Federal Government has in¬ structed banks to make payment only to persons to whom the bonds were issued. Veterans known to a bank should take bonds to their regular tellers. Other veterans are required to furnish identification, prefera¬ bly their discharge papers. If bonds are “defaced or mutilat¬ ed,” special arrangemenst must be made with the Federal Re¬ serve Bank or the Treasury De¬ partment in Washington before they can be cashed. According to latest Govern¬ ment statistics, 1791,80 Georgia veterans have applied for ter¬ minal leave pay bonds, Col. F. Richards, ’Army Finance Officer for the Georgia-Alabama region, said Saturday his Atlanta office is currently “snowed under” with a backlog of between 400 and 500 applications rushed in to meet the original Sept. 1 dead¬ line for applications. Tre deadline was recently ex¬ tended to Sept. 1, 1948. Although no Georgia break¬ down was available, an estima¬ ted 5,000,000-odd eligible veter¬ ans have not yet made applica¬ tions. In passing the original Terminal Pay Act last year, Con gress decreed that bonds could not be cashed until five years after date of discharge- President Truman signed the bill upping the time to Sept. 2 a month ago, but declared, “I wish to emphasize strongly that it is to the veterans’ best inter¬ est that they keep their bonds if they do not absolutely need to cash them now.” Sponsors of the cashing legis¬ lation in Congress said that they expected only about one-half of the holders to apply for quick payment. The bonds carry two and one-half per cent interest. The Treasury, which has tak¬ en over the chore of cashing the bonds, said they may be redeem¬ ed at any institution authorized to cash war bonds. These in¬ clude, banks, savings and loan companies and credit unions. All institutions have been in¬ structed to require positive iden¬ tification of the person applying for payment in order to prevent any money going to sharks who bought the loans at a dis¬ count. GEORGIA TOPS ENTRIES IN SOUTHEASTERN AN¬ NUAL ART EXHIBITION Applications to enter oil and water colors in the second Southeastern Annual Art Exhi¬ bitions to be held in Atlanta on October 5-19 are being received daily.

On Monday night, A u S us t 25, the 4-H Club organi- zation was completed. Officers j elected were Granville Baker, President; Bernardine Moore, V. president; Maurice McGuffey, secretary; Joyce Ann Moore, treasurer,, and Gene Moore, re¬ P° rter - Meetin S with these b °y s and g irl « were parents and pare cers r\ of f iViA the Mnur New Qolom Salem Artyom- organi¬ zation. The 4-H Club is with the New Salem communi¬ ty Improvement Project. The boys have taken as their project the job of painting the mail boxes in the community. On next Wednesday these boys 3hd McCauley’s truck will start out behind Mr. Bill Nicol, the mail carrier, and will paint each mail box as they come to it- Boxes will be paint¬ ed with aluminum paint, with flags painted red. They are also planning to have names lettered on the boxes. There will be no charge for this painting job, as the Farmer’s Organization will use some of the money from their treasury to buy paint. It is hoped that all boxes that need new posts will be straightened up and fixed by the time the boys get around. New Salem is making some progress as evidenced by the in¬ terest that the men and women have taken in youth organiza¬ tion. The 4-H Club will meet regularly twice monthly, on the first and third Monday nights. They are planning recreational programs as well as educational programs. It is through such organizations as the 4-H Club that the young people can gain training in leadership through actual practice. And it is im¬ portant since boys and girls will be the future leaders in the county that they be encourage- ed as much as possible by the parents. Boys who have agreed to as¬ sist in the mail box painting are Franklin Baker, Homer Moore, Charles Logan, j Moore, and Ed Gray. boys will be contacted by group and n will .V,ri1 also take part v-vn in in the project.

Muddy Winter Roads Face Georgians Again Rural Georgia is facing anoth¬ er winter in the mud with the State Highway Department holding no hope of maintaing dirt highways for all-weather travel. Highway Director John C. Beasley Saturday disclosed his department would be unable to purchase enough heavy machin¬ ery to scrape and fill roads in good weather to prevent them from becoming impassable when bad weather occurs. He said the equipment “just isn’t available.’’ “The Highway Department is paving as many dirt roads as it can, but of course we do not have enough funds to pave the 7,000 miles of dirt roads in the state system,” he declared. Many dirt roads could be kept in useable condition during the winter months if properly main¬ tained during favorable weather, he explained, but the lack of machinery prevents this. All the Highway Department can do, he said, is to pave as many dirt roads as possible with present funds. This, Beasley said, is being done- He declared an average of $2,500,000 worth of road con¬ struction would be let during the next six months. Of this am¬ ount about 50 per cent, Beasley said, is scheduled for paving dirt highways. This conversion of dirt roads to concrete or asphalt thorough¬ fares will continue the year a- round, the highway director de¬ clared, pointing out that only specific types of paving must be discontinued during the cold months. The other 50 per cent of the funds will go for repairing or replacing old paved roads. In this connection, the Highway De¬ partment official reported it was doing “everything possible” to remove all slippery paving. “We’re going forward with a harmonious, non-political pro¬ gram,” Beasley declared. “The general public appears satisfied and the contractors apparently realize we are attempting to do a non-political job and award contrasts on merit.” Heavy Demand For Cattle Features Livestock Sale Increased volume, with heavy demand for cattle, featured live¬ stock auctions in Georgia dur¬ ing the week. Jones-Neuhoff Co., Macon, reported the second largest sale of the year in total receipts when 1,487 head brought $78,612.24. Austin Jones, vice- president, said the cattle supply was large but that buyers took all offered at good prices. The Sumter Livestock., auction climbed back into the million- dollar- year class when 344 hogs and 447 head of cattle sold for $38,205. Cattle sold up to $23.70. No. 1 hogs brought $24.65- At Albany the Union Livestock Co. had receipts of $36,822.66 for 459 cattle. J. Andy Benton, sales manager, said demand was strong for top quality butcher cattle and stockers. The prices paid in the auction were: Calves $8 to $24.10; steers and heifers, $10 to $25.10; cows, $8 to $18; and bulls, $10 to $15. Coosa Valley Livestock Associ¬ ation, Rome, reported a good volume with prices up slightly from last week. Receipts were $32,821.34, with 522 animals sold. Prices at Moultrie were up $1 to $2 over last week. The cash turnover was $26,473 at the week ly auction. Receipts at eight major packing plants of the area were 3.500 head, about 75 percent above the same period last year. Most of the hogs received were brought in from farms and feed lots of the area. Dawson reported high prices, with receipts of $5,816.45- Oats are the safest of all grains for feeding horses and mules, whether fed alone or with other, grains. ! “Made In Georgia” Ex¬ position October 8 to 12 POSITION, a panorama of Geo rgia’s industries and special ex¬ hibits of the State of Georgia, will be held in the Atlanta Mu¬ nicipal Auditorium, October 8-12 1947.
