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.

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. owned Three-fourths commercial of the forest privately land j ! in the United States is in small tracts. * * * What is becoming in behavior is honorable, and what is honor¬ is becoming—Cicero f-oooococccoacooooccooooocooooooooo o occooo o ooocoo^ LOOKING BACKWARD >.OOOO PO OOOOOOOOOO C COOOOOOi s THE DADE COUNTY GAZETTE Rising Fawn, Ga., February 25, 1881.

CORN YIELDS Georgia experiment stations Georgia farmers have found 20, 40, 60 or more bushels corn per acre can be proudeed this state if good cultural are used. Corn is the grain crop grown in Geor- j furnace next Tuesday night. The Rising Fawn Furnace is now turning out over 70 tons of pig iron a day. Mr. G. F.

Now that many homes ed frequently and repaired are wired for electricity, defect¬ ive wiring may cause more fires. Bill Ireland Named State Welfare Head To Succeed Groves W. E.
