THOUGHTS ON 1947 AND
A very dear Aunt of mine
in the east who takes The
writes she missed a
message in our paper, as
was at Thanksgiving, and
there will be a thought for New
Years.
So many -people who
know how to write give us
splendid New' Year’s
that it seems futile to try.
However as we here in
little State of Dade go into the
New Year let us personally think
back to some of our own high¬
lights of 1947! Maybe we didn’t
keep all the good resolutions we
made in January, 1947, but think
—pause for a moment—wasn’t
there something you said to your
self last J. nuary that you have
worked for and accomplished?
Perhaps a crop turned out bet
ter than you expected, perhaps
you were able to save a little
money to pay off that mortgage,
or perhaps by being a little bet
ter yourself you were able to
help a wayward traveler. Be
honest with yourself, didn’t you
work a little harder during 1947
to attain something better for
you and yours?
Of course you did for look—
look how your own little advan¬
ces are reflected in the progress
of our county.
Our schools burn down but we
work hard and slowly but surely
we build them back again to be
better than ever.
Our health protection leaps
ahead in spite of occasional set
backs. Parents—and that means
you—are now allowing your
children and yourselves to have
the necessary shots, vaccinations
and examinations to prevent
disease and epidemics. Let’s
cooperate with our Health
Nurse. Health is our most val¬
uable possession.
Our forests burn—yes but in
1947 Dade holds a record for fire
education and less loss by fire
than most counties. You per¬
sonally did that by taking care
on your own property. Our For¬
est Ranger may be proud of us
but let’s not forget the destitu¬
tion and destruction a fire can
cause.
We have joined the National
Soil Conservation program and
already many farmers have tak¬
en advantage of this experienced
program to help us to make bet¬
ter use of the land from which
we take our living.
We are absorbing the progress¬
iveness of the educational pro¬
gram of the Soil Conservation
and Improvement Association.
Our 4-H Club is active. Again
we have a Home Demonstration
Agent to assist the women in
easier, faster, and improved
methods for a better living in
the home.
We have the opportunity of
learning and enjoyment of read¬
ing through the Bookmobile
Even the Veterans Farm* Train¬
ing Program has made a begin¬
ning.
Folks look at all the glorious
assets which have happened to
us in 1947. Look at all the grand
things which have been started
right here in our little county the
past year. For 1948 let's resolve
to keep on working with all
these good things for a better
living. Let’s get behind them
and push them to greater op¬
portunities for us. Let’s ge
together and work together
Let’s resolve to give honest
thought to the men who will an¬
nounce themselves as candidates
for our^ state and county officers
this year and vote for those who
will work with us for a better
life.
Let us resolve to think beyond
our own family, beyond our own
beautful little county, beyond our
own turbulent state to our ma¬
jestic country and let each of
us resolve to earnestly pray to
the divine Lord that the leaders
of our country may find a way
to guide us on a humane and
Christian path that will lead us
to peace on this earth.

tion to The Times.
THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1948.
IN FAVOR OF A SECRET
BALLOT
(Editorial in Atlanta Constitu¬
tion)
Another Georgia county is
looking to adopton of a secret
ballot.
The Screven County Demo¬
cratic Executive Committee, re¬
ports The Sylvania Telephone,
has indicated that it favors the
secret ballot, now possible in
Georgia upon the recommenda¬
tion of a single Grand Jury.
The committee’s action was
prompted by a resolution passed
unanimously by the Screven
County Teachers’ Association,
which pointed out that the Aus¬
tralian ballot, which is number¬
ed and has a corresponding
number and the voter’s name on
the stub, affords an opportuniity
of determining how a citizen
votes.
In most instances, of course,
the ballots are destroyed, as pre¬
scribed by law, before anyone
has an opportunity to pry. But
this is not always the case. More¬
over, the very fact that it is pos¬
sible to check serves to intimi¬
date some people.
The secret ballot, as provided
by an act of the 1941 Legisla¬
ture, offers adequate safeguard
and at the same time eliminates
any possible fear of reprisal in
the mind of the voter. More and
more counties are adopting it
and understandably so.
Georgia Banks
Leaning Toward
Farm Loans
Atlanta, Dec. 31. (GPS)—Geor¬
gia bankers are taking more in¬
terest in Georgia farmers these
days. At least, that is indicated
in a recent report of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta which
stated banks in Georgia and the
Southeast are taking an increas¬
ingly dominant position in pro¬
viding production credit to farm¬
ers.
Although production credit
associations and retail merchants
are important sources of short¬
term loans for some farmers,
they provide only about 40 per
cent of the total production cred¬
it used by farmers today, the
bank’s report disclosed. Announ¬
cing the results of a survey con¬
cerning the ability and willing
ness of banks to meet farm cred¬
it needs, the report asserted:
“At the middle of 1947 district
banks had outstanding more
than 200,000 loans to farmers
that were not secured by farm
real estate. Although these loans
amounted to almost $85,000,000,
they constituted only five per
cent of the total loans outstand
ing at all insured commercia
banks.”
Of the total number of farm
production loans held by banks
more than a third were with in¬
stitutions having deposits of less
than $2,000,000, the survey show¬
ed. These and oher banks with
deposits of less than $10,000,000
held four-fifths of all reported
farm production loans. Howev¬
er, the larger banks in the
Southeast are more important
<--ources of farm production cred¬
it than those in the nation as
a whole, it was shown.
HOMEWORK
A recent survey shows that the
average farm homemaker spends
more than three hours each day
preparing and clearing away
meals. Almost an hour and a
half is spent in cleaning and i
caring for the house. 47 minutes'
in laundry and 48 minutes doing
mending and sewing w T ork.

flues are among the most com-
mon causes of farm home fires
Chimneys, heating systems and
electrical wiring should be check¬

ive wiring may cause more fires.
