Dade County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME XLVIII. Many Attend Ameri¬ can Legion Party Rain and mud did not stop al¬ most 250 people from coming and enjoying the Legion’s Chick¬ en Stew and Square Dance. Ev¬ eryone spoke of the beauty of the pannelling of the walls and ceiling and the modern lighting arrangement. They said how nice it would be when it was possible to finish the kitchen and the floors. Delicious chicken stew had been prepared and was served by members of the Auxiliary. Mrs. E. L. Raulston, Mrs. Fred Morgan, Mrs. C. L. Holmes and Mrs. W. F. Morrison are the la¬ dies to whom our thanks are due. The 16 chickens for this that had been- donated by Woodrow Tin¬ ker (2), James Morrison (2). Bill Austin 12), and one each from John Tatum, E. L. Raulston, Max Page, Harold Cox, Tom Sims, R. S Townsend, John W. Murphy, C. L. Holmes, Eugene Bates and Robert Allison. These had been cleaned and dressed the night before by members of the Legion. Other donations were the nap¬ kins, toothpicks and crackers from Roy McBryar. Crackers were also given by Terrence Moore and Newell Scruggs, cof¬ fee from Rayburn Wheeler, su¬ gar from Bill Carter. Mrs. Fred A. Morgan donated the milk and Mrs. C. L. Holmes the tomatoes. The center of the hall had been fenced off and after the stew many spectators lined two or three deep to watch the fun. Gerald Logan, Willard Waddel Gerald Logan, Willard Harde man, Carl Waddel and other composed the band, which play ed tirelessly. There seemed to be some diffi¬ culty in finding a caller but the guests didn’t seem to mind tpo much. Edgar Moore, Raymond Morrison and Herschel Neal pinch hit at this. During the evening a delicious looking white frosted cake with red and blue decorations made by Mrs. Tom Sims was auction¬ ed off. This was bought by Matthew West of Sand Moun¬ tain for $5.50. The “Guess” Cake, made by Mrs. Milton Case, was tall and white frosted. The guests paid a dime to take a guess at what the article was which had been baked inside. When all who washed had taken a guess, Com¬ mander Morrison appointed Mes¬ srs, J. M. Carroll, A. L. Dyer and W. T. McCauley as judges, but woe to them as three people had guessed correctly, Mrs. Fred Mor¬ gan, Jr., H. A. Garren and Miss Lucile Johnson from Lookout Mt., who finally won the cake. The object inside was an American Legion Pin. Some of the guests asked for another party next Saturday night and a vote was taken. Almost everyone present wanted another party so the Buildng Committee are making arrange¬ ments for this Sat. Feb. 28, but it will be without the Chicken Stew. Legion Notes The Building Committee wish¬ es to thank A. W. Peck for donation of $25, Herschel Neal for $1, Joe Fulghum for $3, and the Independent Order of Fellows of Trenton for $25, Roy W. Moore for $50. Some of the lumber for flooring has been promised. MR. AND MRS. CELEBRATE SILVER Mr. and Mrs. H. H. mer celebrated their Silver ding anniversary night, February 18.

Brown, director of the Georgia Extension Service. These farm boys and girls car¬ ry out club projects under the supervision of county and home demonstration agents. They constitute a very important part of the State Extension program, and occupy an important place in Georgia’s agricultural picture, Brown said, in pointing out that there are now 2,500 community clubs in the state. “As these club members ob¬ serve National 4-H Club Week, they are completing plans for the 1948 club year, and they will be looking back on one of the most outstanding year’s work in the history of the organization,” Mr. Brown said.

Interest In Home Orchards Stimulated More than a hundred Dade County farm people had the op- prtunity to talk about their or¬ chard problems and to have their questions answered by Mr. Geo. H. Firor, orchard specialist. Mr. Firor was brought to the county by the Extension Service folks to assist in presenting a better orchard program for 1948. Four community meetings were held at which field demonstra¬ tions were given on pruning fruit trees, grapes and small fruits. Also instructions were given on general care of orchards. Meetings were held at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. John Logan in New Salem, the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Massey, Morganville, Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey Smith, Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. Cicero Forester, Cloverdale. Each of these families indicated a de¬ sire to establish a demonstration caring for their orchards in the manner outlined. Definite re¬ sults can now be seen on Mr. John Logan’s grape vines. He has done a complete job of prun¬ ing, which shows that he learned his lesson well. It is believed that within the next few days other jobs can be seen and spray equipment will be operating in many home orchards and vine¬ yards. Have you ever found a half of a worm in a peach? The other half that you ddn’t find could have been prevented by spraying to control the insect known as the curculio. Brown rot of peaches can also be controlled by spraying. Complete spray guides giving the materials to use and the time of application for all fruits can be obtained from your county extension agents. Plans are being developed now for the Farmers Co-Op to stock a supply of spray materials in small packages suitable for farm s with just a few trees or for large orchards. Home orchards are important and should be considered so in every farm and home plan, good sound tree ripened fruit can be produced. You must do your part, give the tree the at¬ tention it deserves. It will more than pay you your expense and labor in good, healthful fruit. DADE REPRESENTATIVES ATTEND FARM BUREAU MEETING IN CARTERSVILLE Sta.te Farm Bureau officers held an officers training meet¬ ing for all Farm Bureau officers of the 7th Congressional district in Cartersville Feb. 24.
