Miss May L Cureton
Returns To Her Home
At Rising Fawn
Miss May I. 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'

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¬

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.
