servation Meeting
-
The fourth annual meeting of
the Georgia Association of Soil
Conservation District Supervis-
ors was held December 11-12 in
Atlanta and was attended by W.
T. McCauley, Dade County Soil
Conservation district supervisor,
who brought back with him seme
interesting information about the
work of the Soil Conservation
districts in Georgia. These dis-
tricts are groups of farmers who
wish to participate in and en¬
courage Soil Conservation.
There are now 151 Counties in
Georgia in conservation districts.
Dade County came into the Coosa
River district this summer and
3 other Counties in the State
were added during the year.
It T , is ... the policy .. of . the .. the ,. die- ,,
trict supervisor to call upon
organizations and agencies
assistance in promoting conser-
vation. The Soil Conservation
Service is devoting full time ser¬
vices of its organization, but with
that the supervisors are calling
on and getting assistance from
all other agricultural agencies as
well as banks, small and large
business organizations and
others.
The Georgia State Fish and
Wildlife Division has furnished
through Soil Conservation dis¬
tricts, bicolor plants and sericea
<?eed for Wildlife Areas to more
than 3500 district farmers with
mit cost.
Federal hatcheries have fum
ished fish for stocking approxi¬
mately 2500 ponds built by dis-
■ 'i t farmers in Georiga.
The Georgia State Forestry
Division has a memorandum of
understanding with Soil Conser
-■>tfcn districts to assist them
in promoting the forestry pro
gram by giving forestry manage¬
ment demonstrations, holding
meetings and giving priority to
district farmers for seedlings.
The Meade Corporation, Arm-
+ -ong Cork Company, Union Bag
end other Commericial Pulp
r ‘em.panies have furnished with¬
out cost, to district cooperators
several hundred thousand tree
sterling's. In one Central Geor¬
gia district Pulp Companies ai©

ing in addition over 4 million.

The daily and weekly News-

much for the district Soil Con¬

100 daily and weekly newspapers
have given space in their papers
to more than 3500 articles or
stories on Soil Conservation dur¬
ing the year. Many of the local
weekly papers such as the Baxley
News and Banner, Carroll Conuey
Georgian, Walton Tribune,
Douglas Interprise, Coffee Coun¬
ty Progress, Blackshear Times,
Jessup Sentinel and Dalton Citi¬
zen have had special edition on

TRENTON SERENADED
CHRISTMAS EVE.
Christmas Eve. the young
people of the Trenton Methodist
Church serenaded the residents
of Trenton with Christmas carols.
The group completed thier tour
at the home of Loraine and Doris
Lynn Pace where a party was
enjoyed by all.
Program is the Ministers of the
State.
The Presbyterian Seminary
held its meeting in Atlanta dur¬
ing April with 50 Ministers at¬
tending. They asked 2 of the
Soil Conservation districts to
furnish the group with as much
Soil Conservation information as
possible so that they would be in
a better position to discuss it in
their work.
At Tifton, approximately 50
Ministers from South Georgia at¬
tended a training and conference
session on Conservation.
Various other State and local
groups and organizations during
the year have created interest
in Conservation by sponsoring
contests and attending meetings,
for example, the Middle South
Georgia Conservation district
held an essay contest on Soil
Conservation with approximately
2400 school children participat¬
ing. The Macon Chamber of
Commerce has for the second
,ear sponsored a Soil Conserv
ition program with emphasis on
Permanent Pastures. The Geor¬
gia Federation of Women’s Clubs
included Soil Conservation in
their Program of work and acti¬
vities for the year. Radio Sta¬
tion WBLJ at Dalton has alloted
a 15 minute period each week
for the past 5 years to the Lime¬
stone Valley Conservation dis
trict.
Some of the accompishment.
in Conservation practice estab¬
lished in districts in Georgia up
to June 30 of this year are:—
Crop rotations on farms—1,-
589,993 acres.
Terracing in miles—88,011 mi
Kudzu planted—101,490 acres
Sericea Lespedeza—86,562 acres
Pasture improvement—470,28
acres.
Tree planting—78,510 acres.
Farm drainage—34,830 acres.
Wildlife Areas—6,304 acres.
Farm Ponds constructed—1,-
736 acres.
Last winter district supervis¬
ors of North Georgia met and
decided to launch a campaigi
for the purpose of increasing the
acreage planted to annual lespe¬
deza. With the aid of groups
such as banks, local business
men and other agricutura
groups and agencies by advertis
ing, meetings and talking lespe¬
deza, resulted in the largest
acreage planted to lespedeza in
the history of Georgia.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1947.
FROM TH£ PUBUSHi
Two Cases Diphtheria
In the County
Though every effort has been
made to protect all infants and
children in our county, there are
now two serious cases of diph¬
theria. Protection against this
dread disease is available to all
infants over 6 months of age and
all preschool age children
through the Health Office, at
clinics in the school and in
communities (when requested)
as part of the nursing visits to
the homes.
Since August, 1946, when the
nursing program started, 231 in¬
fants and preschool children
have had this protection (shots).
However we still have unprotect¬
ed children as evidenced by these
two serious cases which recently
occurred. Both required an op¬
eration (tube inserted from the
outside of the throat) to save
their lives. In spite of this
there are many parents who
have refused to have their chil¬
dren protected (given two shots
4 weeks apart).
Parents who have unprotected
infants and chldren are urged
to see their physician, or take
their children to the Health Of¬
fice on Saturday morning (ex¬
cept Dec. 27) or watch for a
notice of clinics at the school in
your communitty, or request the
nurse to stop by your home when
she is in your community. Keep
the children away from sick
people.
The Public Health Nurse
Schedule is—
Monday — Hooker, Whiteside
and Wilwood.
Tuesday — Rising Fawn, Cave
Springs, Cloverdale and Sulphur
Springs.
Wednesday—Piney and Look¬
out Mountain.
Thursday—Sand M’tn, Avans
and Cole City.
Friday—Trenton, New Eng¬
land, Morganville and Slygo.
Saturday Morning- -Health Of¬
fice in the Court House in Tren¬
ton. (Will not be in office on
December 27).
DAVIS P.-T. A. HAS A
WONDERFUL MEETING
The Davis P.-T. A. met last
Friday night, Dec. 19, and had a
very interesting program. A play
was given by the Third Grade
pupils under the direction of
their teacher, Mrs. Innes Sim¬
mons. It is indeed heartening
to see these small children act
their parts so well.
Also on the program was a
group of songs given by Miss
Violet Stoner with Miss Doris
Hardeman at the piano. String
music and songs were given by
Jim West, and Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Blancett and Willard
Hardeman. This musical part
o the program was also enjoyed
by all.
Fruit and candy was served to
125 parents and teachers and
children of the third grade.
We were indeed glad to have
as visitors, Mrs. J. E. Bible and
a group from Cloverdale com¬
munity. We hope you will come
again.

Plans To Transfer
Dublin Hospital Wins
High Praise
The transformation of the
great Navy Hospital at Dublin
into a general hospital for veter¬
ans in this area was hailed by
Henry Persons, chairman of the
State Veterans Service Board, as
“a great step forward in relieve-
ing the acute shortage of hospital
facilities for Georgia’s ex-service¬
men."
The Navy will turn the insti¬
tution over to the Veterans Ad¬
ministration in February, he said,
and will move the Mclntire Re¬
search Unit on rheumatic fever
to the Great Lakes Naval Train¬
ing Station. The hospital was
commissioned in January, 1945
and is considered one of the
finest medical institutions in the
Southeast.

The car will be open daily
from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m.
“We are delghted that so much
is being shown in the
Heritage Exhibit,” said
Cocke Jr., executive director
the State Development Board.
Several communities not being
by our car have expressed
keen desire to have it come
We sincerely wish we
send it to every city, town
hamlet in Georgia. That,
of course, is impossible. We
would, however, like to call at¬
tention to the fact that, except
for a small portion of the state
Georgia car will stop within
or 60 miles of virtually every
in Georgia."
The Georgia car, while main¬
and operated separately
the national train, neces-
had to follow the same
worked out some 18
months ago by the American
Foundation, long before
Development Board even
sponsoring an exhibit,
the director explained. Selec¬
of the four additional cities
for the Georgia exhibit was
primarily because of their
connections and facili¬
he said.

made up of more than 100
historic flags and
