Cureton has tired from the Alabama sion work after 31 years in department, and is now living at the. family home in Rising Fawn. She began her career as the first home agent of Lau¬ derdale county, Ala., in 1916. From there she organized Madi¬ son county, and in 1920 was made district home agent of the northern half of Alabama. At that time there were only eight home agents in the district, but today ftiere is an egent in each county, with assistant agents in a majority of the counties. Miss Cureton has had the sat¬ isfaction of seeing extensive im¬ provements in the dress, the foods, and the homes of the farm women of northern Ala¬ bama. Some 12,000 women are now members of more than 400 home demonstration clubs, and 15,000 girls are members of the 4-H clubs as a result of her work. In 1944, Miss Cureton was named “The Woman of the Year in service to the agricultural and rural progress in Alabama” by the Progressive Farmer, which makes annual for outstanding service. In the special write-up, Sally Hill, ed¬ itor of the Home Department, stated: “Miss May I. has such ■p, warm manner and such a gen¬ uine interest in the people and in farming as a way of life—ra¬ ther than merely a vocation— that everyone loves her. When she attends a meeting, the joy¬ ous murmur of “Miss May is here,’’ spreads over the group quickly. She cannot know the number of people she has con¬ tacted, but it is "in the thous¬ ands.” Those who have worked with Miss Cureton recently gave a dinner for her in Birmingham, and have also made arrange¬ ments for a room in the new Home Economics building being built in Washington, D. C., to be named in her honor, with an appropriate bronze plaque. She was also presented with a silver service and many other gifts as tokens of the love and esteem of the members of her district home demonstration and clubs. PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE EXPIRATION DATE OF DRIVERS LICENSES In a report to Major J Q Davis, Director of the Depart¬ ment of Public Safety, the Dri¬ vers License Division advised all applioations through August 25 have been processed and mailed. The report, however indicated some 3.000 licenses had been re¬ turned by the postal authorities unclaimed. Major Davis in commenting on the above report commended Sergeant Stephens, Woolsey and the employees of this Division for their expedient handling of the license. Point¬ ing out that in 1938 Georgia had approximately 600,000 licensed drivers compared with over 1,~ 200,000 this year. This continu¬ ous increase in number of licens¬ ed drivers makes normal office procedure impossible during the renewal period. On June 28th and v30th the Drivers License Division received 126.00 renewal applications. To eliminate this overloading of the Drivers License Division during June and July each year, Major Davis recommends a change in the expiration of drivers license. The Major re¬ commends the law be changed so that the drivers license will expire on the holders birthday. This proposed change would not work a hardship on the persons applying for license and would give an even flow of renewals each month to be processed. In this way the renewals would be handled more expediently and at a less expense to the State. Applications of phosphate, potash and lime, in accordance with soil tests, and plantings of legumes are among the methods of rebuilding soil. Catoosa Four-H Club Members To Open Community Center The young people in Boynton community in Catoosa County, led by the Boynton 4-H club, are building for the future. Concrete results of their en¬ deavors will be shown to the public Friday night, September 12, when a community play¬ ground built and equipped by the young people in the com¬ munity is thrown open to the public. The new playground will be dedicated with proper ceremo¬ nies and there will be folk games, singing and games for people of all ages who attend. More than 200 of the community’s three to four hundred people are expected to be on hand. This project is the latest in a series of outstanding ones spon¬ sored by the Boynton community 4-H club, W. E. Brookshire, county agent, pointed out this week. The club members won an award last year in the 4-H community improvement pro¬ ject sponsored by the Atlanta Journal and this year they are trying for a district and state prize in the same project. With vv mi the tilt. prize they received last year, the 4-H members went to work to develop a community center that would serve all of the people in the community, With the aid of Boy Scouts, they cleared a tract of ground ad- jacent to the Methodist parson- age and owned by the church, Then the club members con- structed outdoor ovens, installed playground equipment and lighted the area so it could be used at night. Both the Baptist and Method- ist ehurcto -the in cooperated mnnprnterl with with the the 4-H’ers 4-H ers in in furnishing some of the equip¬ ment- The Scouts also helped with the construction of some iof the ovens, Betty Carlock, 'president of the community 4-H club and the Catoosa County 4-H Council, explained. Other organizations helping with de¬ velopment of the recreation area were the Catoosa County Older Rural Youth Club and the Pa¬ rent-Teachers Association. The Allatoona Dam Is North Ga. Attratction By Wright Bryan in the Atlanta Constitution On U. S. Highway 41 just south of Cartersville, on U. S. 41 just northeast of Cartersville, and on Canton-Cartersville road, are signs marking access roads which lead to the Allatoona dam site- Thousands of automobiles pass these signs each day, for High¬ way 41 is one of the busiest in Georgia. Only a few motorists take the time and trouble to have a look at one of the most interesting construction projects in Georgia today. The number is steadily in¬ creasing, however. Special pro¬ vision has been made for visit¬ ors with a large wooden obser¬ vation platform on a bluff over¬ looking the dam site. Several thousand people are now stop¬ ping there «ach week, and sig¬ natures in the guest book come from every part of the nation. Two notes of caution should be inserted here for the benefit of those who wish to inspect the Allatoona ibiuuiu. project: ---- 1. Visiting hours are in the afternoon only Blasting and other hazardous operations are carried out in the mornings, Visitors except those on busi- mess, with special directions as to how to proceed safely, are not welcome at that time. Natural Site For Dam ----- A few days ago a friend I almost got into trouble by un- intentionally overlooking these caution notes. We were to Chatsworth and, when we nroached the Etowah river just below Cartersville. decided to have a look at the dam we failed to read the . warning that visitors should use the other route, and drove di- September 21 to 27 Is Farm Bureau Week In Georgia Governor Thompson Saturday issued a proclamation setting aside the week of September 21 to 27 as Statewide Farm Bureau Week, marked by a membership campaign in all the 159 counties in Georgia. The Chief Executive called up- on the people of Georgia to join the bureau and work with it for the best interests of the state along both agricultural and Industrial lines. Commenting on the procla¬ mation the governo rsaid: “I A nu,»v, have WI15 long been UCCLl of U 1 the tUC UJJUl* opin- ion that all groups should be highly organized and through the co-operation of the leaders of each group we can maintain a sound economy with a pro- gressive program for the bene- fit of all. “In view of the fact that Geor¬ gia is predominantly an agri cultural state, it is incumbent upon our farm people to unite in a body for the common good of all groups, and to give those who produce the food and fiber not only a fair price for their products at the market place but equal '--1---- opportunities -it------------- in --- education and a sound health program, “I have observed for many years the program being followed by the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, and I have noted with a degree of pride that the accomplishments of the organi- zation are directed into channels designed to contribute to a sound economy for all groups. Thus I am happy to issue a formal proclamation calling official at- tention to Statewide Farm Bu- reau Week, U. S. 41. For _ that .. we ___ deserved, _________] and got a gentle reprimand. We also got an impressive view of the dam site and were agree¬ ably surprised at the speed with which construction is progress¬ ing. A better natural site for a dam could scarcely be imagined. Steep hills on either side of the Etowah come almost together at the river side just below the mouth of Allatoona creek. Only a gap in the narrow hills must be filled with the concrete dam structure. Rocky bluffs on either side provide perfect an¬ chors for the ends of the dam. When the dam is complete it will create a lake with several hundred miles of shoreline, cov¬ ering much of the southeast cor¬ ner of Bartow county and push¬ ing long fingers into the middle of Cherokee county near Canton and down into Cobb near Ac- worth. To Be Completed In 1949 Most surprising to a visitor seeing the dam for the first time is the extent to which con¬ struction has progressed. Cof¬ ferdams have been constructed to keep the flow of the river to one side of its bed. On the other side concrete is being stea- dily poured to form the mono¬ height above the foundations. When the side of the dam is —w finished, the river's flow will be * ***------- ------- diverted through gates in . the structure itself and construction will proceed on the other side. Piles of aggregate (the engin- eer’s term for gravel and sand which go into concrete) by the mixing plant are almost as high as some 0 f th e neighboring hills. Most intriguing portions of the se t_ U p to a layman is the re- frigeration system which cools ni — e concrete --------- mix ------ to -- 40 degrees temperature to prevent its pre- mature setting. The dam is being built by Na- tional Constructors, Inc., for the United States Government 'un- ! der the supervision of Army En- gineers. Its prime purpose is flood control in the area around, Cartersville and Rome. It will also generate power and supply , a new recreational area close to metropolitan Atlanta It should be comple ed m 1949, -if Congress does not decide to cut off appropriations.

To The People Of Dade County I am addressing this letter to you with regard to the office of Tax Commissioner, which has become vacant due to the death of my husband, W. F. Morrison. The Ordinary, Judge J. M. Carroll, has appointed me to serve as Tax Commissioner un¬ til an election can be held and some person duly elected to serve for the unexpired term of W. F. Morrison, which will ex¬ pire December 31, 1948. He has advised that an election is being called for this purpose to be held on October 2, 1947. As you know, I have been working in the office of the Tax Commissioner for a number bf years. I am thoroughly famil¬ iar with the duties of this office- Tax collecting time is now at hand and many people have ad¬ vised. me that I am the logical person to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. Morrison. If that is the will of the people, I would be glad to serve for the balance of the term and have requested the Ordinary to place my name on the ballot as a candidate at this special election. I do not know whether there will be other persons offer as candidates in the special elec¬ tion or not. Whether there are others or not, I do not intend to make a political race. It is entirely up to the people- If they want me to serve the bal¬ ance of the term, then I will be glad to serve. If they do not want me to serve the balance of the term, then I do not want the job. I want to express for myself and family our appreciation for the confidence the people had in Mr. Morrison during his life¬ time, and for, their kindness and- expression^ oifr bereavement. of sympathy to us during MRS. W. F. MORRISON. FOUR-H CLUB REPRESENT¬ ATIVES GUESTS OF LIONS CLUB TUESDAY EVENING At tlje regular meeting of the Lions Club held held at Trenton Cafe on Tuesday night, Mrs. Bill Konrad, 4-H club advisor, and three club members, George Bi¬ ble, Miss Beatrice Williams and Miss Johnnie Pike, were guests' of the Club. Each of the visit¬ ors gave interesting talks on the objects and purposes of their club, and then Miss Williams gave a very interesting account of their recent trip to the con¬ ference of the State 4-H clubs of Georgia at Milledgeville. All of these talks were v«ry interest¬ ing, and were enjoyed by the members of the Lions Club. Lion Hugh Clark, Soil Conser¬ vation Technician for Dade County, was received into the club as a new member, and two others were proposed and elect¬ ed to membership, Montford Tatum and Newell Scruggs. It was announced that at the next meeting the Zone Advisory Committee, consisting of the presidents and secretaries of the clubs of Dade and Catoosa coun¬ ties and Dalton and Chatsworth, would be guests of the club. Ranger’s Report % " Who Owns America’s Forests? Three-quarters of this vast area, which is growing trees for our use, is owned by thousands of every-day people. The rest is owned by the public, which means our federal, state or local governments. But all of us, whether we actually own a for¬ est or not, have a big stake in the future of our forests, because we al) use and need the wood. One-Third of Our Commercial For*est Lands Is On Farms Farmers own about 138,000.000 acres of American forest lands, more than all the forests or Norway, Sweden and Finland put together. Farmers earn money from their farm forests by growing and harvesting theis trees much as they do with other crops. Growing a tree crop, of course, takes a longer time. Ranger Pace did not attend the Forestry School because of the death of Mr. W. F. Mor¬ rison.
