Macon, Ga., Oct. 18.—Cliff Kenney Evans of Forsyth, at 16 is co-owner of a 146-acre farm, has a thriving dairy herd and more than $1,000 in savings, is the star Georgia planter of 1947. This top Future Farmers of America honor was bestowed upon the young high school jun¬ ior Friday night to climax FFA Day attended by a record crowd of 266,590 at the Georgia State Fair. It was based on his phe- nominally successful program in the Mary Persons FFA chapter, of which he is an officer. Cliff has wanted to be a dairy farmer for as long as he can re¬ member. A calf given him by a family friend when he was 3 started him off. 5 Dairy Cows He now owns five dairy cows, three calves and a registered gilt. One of his animals is a register¬ ed Jersey. He also has four acres each of hay, oats and peas and 14 of permanent pasture for feed supply.

During the FFA exercises, 142 were honored as Georgia plant¬ ers. C Ross Jordan, general man¬ ager, announced the fair would be held over until next Wednes¬ day, but will be closed on Sun¬ day, reopening at the usual hour Monday. The extension was decided upon, Jordan ex¬ plained, to allow persons kept away by bad weather to attend- WILD RABBITS SPREAD LIVESTOCK PARASITES Newest scientific studies just reported in a leading veterinary journal show that farmers may be “kidding themselves” by rest¬ ing or rotating pastures to elim¬ inate parasites—if they don’t take steps to keep rabbits away from these pastures during the resting period. In a current issue, the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association says that wild rabbits carry and spread various kinds of parasites com¬ mon to certain domestic ani¬ mals In one of a series of stu¬ dies reported, a rabbit-proofed pasture was found to be free of infective larvae after a proper resting period, while another pasture, rested for the same pe¬ riod but not rabbit-proofed, caused renewed infection of large numbers of sheep when they were turned back on it. In the works of man as in those of nature it is the inten¬ tion which is chiefly worth Wm. H. Carter Buys Lacy’s Restaurant William H. Carter, an ex serv¬ iceman from Sand Mountain, and his wife, Berdice, purchased Lacy’s Restaurant on October 20, taking over the next day. Mr- and Mrs. Carter do not plan to make any changes for the pres¬ ent. Mrs. Jimmy Gass will con¬ tinue on with them. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Lacy and family are looking for a place to live and as soon as they move the Carters plan to move into the back of the restaurant. For the present they are living in a room off the restaurant as it is too difficult commuting from Sand Mountain. We wish the Carters every suc¬ cess in their new venture. j Thompson Hits Present System Of Allotments Acting Gov. M. E. Thompson lashed out again this week at the unfairness of alloting federal funds to the States -- on the basis of their ability to pay. In his regular Tuesday broadcast he announced he was taking the matter up at the Southern Governors Conference which he was attending at Ashville, N. C. He specially deplored this system when it came to alloting welfare funds. “Georgia has 77,000 of its elderly citizens on its rolls,” he declared. “North Carolina has only 33,000. Virginia has only 14,000. If Georgia had the same money it now has and only the same number of people to help that Virginia has, we would be able to give our people $70 a month- The chief executive pointed out that the mid southeastern states, all unable to “match” the maximum federal figure received about $38,000,000, collectively, for their 933,000 aged. On the other hand, California — with enough wealth to match any federal grant — received nearly $44,000,- 000 for the aid of only 704,000 old folks. “I feel certain the Southern Governors will join me in this fight,” Gov. Thompson said in support of his plea for a federal “floor” of at least $30 per month for old age pensions. “We make up the poorer States which are being penalized for being poor.” HOME EC GIRLS ATTEND MEETIND AND SEE ATLANTA On Saturday, October 18,. twenty-two Ec. of the Club Junior girls wentj andj Senior Home to the Fourth District meeting i at Chambley, Ga., where we, heard many interesting speak¬ ers, among them Mrs. Inez Wal- ace, State Supervisor of Home Making Education, Miss Nelle Norman, Assistant Supervisor, and Mrs. Janet Barber, State Advisor. After lunch, we went to At¬ lanta, where we visited the Cap¬ itol Building, Grant Park and the Cyclorama Building in Grant Park, where the world-famous painting of the Battle of Atlan¬ ta is housed. This painting is so real that it is said that when birds get inside the building they try to alight on the trees. Also the historical engine “Texas,” which engaged in the race with the “General,” is preserved in the basement of the Cyclorama Building. The “General” is in the Union Station in Chattanoo¬ ga. Just to show you we really saw Atlanta, here are a few facts we learned about our Capital City: The Atlanta System has 88 mu¬ nicipal parks and parkways ranging in size from the small¬ est of less than an acre, to the largest, Lakewood Park, which comprises about 370 acres, with a valuation, land and buildngs, of nearly four million dollars. Atlanta parks are noted for their natural beauty; so we advise you to see them if you get a chance. We don’t think you will be sor¬ Devoted .to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia.

Meeting of GFBF To Be Held In Macon November 12-13 Announcement was made from headquarters of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation in Ma¬ con this week that plans are nearing completion for the ninth annual meeting of the GFBF to be held in the Central City on November 12 and 13. H. L. Wingate, president, stat¬ ed that indications point to the largest attendance in the history of the organization and he at¬ tributed this unusual interest to the fact that a new farm pro gram must be written at the next session of the 80th Con gress. The GFBF leader is recognized as one of the leading agricultu ral figures in the nation, and in his addresses to farm groups over the state he has consistent¬ ly urged farm people to unite in order that our new farm pro¬ gram will benefit that group of people who produce the food and fiber for a hungry world. Farm¬ ers must have a price support program in order to insure a sound agriculture, he points out. and to avoid a repetition of the 1930’s when farm prices were disastrous. Several members of the state’s congressional delegation will at¬ tend the forthcoming Farm Bu¬ reau convention, Mr. Wingate said, as well as other national figures interested in the future of agriculture. Mr. Wingate pointed to the membership goal of 70,000 fam¬ ily memberships which was set by the board of directors at a meeting early this year, indicat¬ ing that he is confident this number will be reached before the end of the fiscal year, No¬ vember 30. 1 There are several counties in Georgia that have exceeded their 1946 total, the president said, and stated that reports reaching Macon headquarters daily give strong promise that we will ex¬ ceed the 70,00 goal. Last year the total membership was 45,922 Dade is the only county in the Seventh District which has al¬ ready reached its goal of 20 per cent additional members this year. The chapter has been active and there are several a- wards which we might be able to compete in.

Gordon “Slim” Burrows is the owner and operator of this new restaurant to be known as The Busy Bee. A six-foot addition was built on the south end of The Times Building. Inside has been pain¬ ted white with red trimmings. On the right side of the eitrance door are four tables coved with white cloths and a glass on top of this. On the left is a long counter with fourteen stools covered in red leather. . Behind the counter is all the new and shining equipment needed; a steam table, sandwich toasters, a hamburger and steak grill and a large coffee urn. “Slim” will specialize in extra fine coffee. Added to this gleam¬ ing short order equipment, in the rear is a large ice-box and a large coal range. To help him, “Slim” has on his staff three very efficient wait¬ resses, Virginia Blevins, Wanda Brandon and Irene Cockran Dawkins. The Busy Bee also has a Coca- Cola dispenser, sells cigars, ci¬ garettes and candy. It is open from 5:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night.

CONFERENCE OF STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO BE TO BE HELD IN ATLANTA Taking notice of the many millions of dollars lost to Geor¬ gia’s economy by uncontrolled wild fires on forest lands, Gov. Thompson, at the request of the Georgia Forestry Association, has called a state-wide confer¬ ence of federal and state agen¬ cies and civic and industrial leaders to take decisive action on November 12 at the Ansley Hotel in Atlanta. Plans for the organization of a “Keep Georgia Green” pro¬ gram will be outlined at this meeting, which state leaders predict will be the greatest for¬ estry meeting ever held in Geor¬ gia. These plans include an in¬ tensive, cooperative, educational forest fire prevention campaign which will reach right down to the tree roots in every county in the state. “The important part our for¬ ests played in the recent world conflict, and the splendid con¬ tribution they are now making In our peace-time economy,” Governor Thompson said in his letter of invitation to federal and state agencies and civic and in¬ industrial leaders, “have focused the attention of all thinking Georgians on the necessity of supporting a state-wide pro¬ gram, the purpose of which would £>e to perpetuate and fur¬ ther develop this great renewa¬ ble natural resource ” “At this meeting,” the Gov¬ ernor explained, “we will launch what will be known as a ‘Keep Georgia Green’ campaign, the chief aims of which will be to acquaint every Georgian with the importance of preventing forest fires and with the neces¬ sity of perpetuating a continu¬ ing crop of what is probably Georgia’s greatest heritage—its vast forests of long-leaf, slash, and other pines and valuable hardwoods.” Kirk Sutlive, Savannah, Pres¬ ident of the Georgia Forestry Association, has been named as temporary chairman of the “Keep Georgia Green” organi¬ zation meeting. In initiating the “Keep Geor¬ gia Green” program, Georgia joins a movement which started in the State of Washington and has spread from ocean to ocean and from Oregon in the extreme northwest to Florida in the ex¬ treme southeast. The following Dade countians have been invited by the Gov¬ ernor to attend this meeting, a,nd others may be added later: Gus Forester, Maj. Pat Gillian, Roy Moore, Ed Bible, Col. D. E. Morrison, R. M. Massey, J. M. Carroll, L. M. Allison, J. A. Case
