Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade and New Road Signs Now On Curve Of Mountain Road Have you seen our new road signs on top of Lookout Moun¬ tain where the road begins its descent into the valley? As you crest the last hill com¬ ing across the top of the moun¬ tain going west you see the cut, Lie vahey in the distance and many, many yellow signs. The , lirst one says slow, the next ir ! a curve sign and the next a right angle curve sign. Before you are bright yellow posts which i ad you around this down grade turn. The sight at night is even more spectacular. All these signs are studded with yellow reflector lights which when your head¬ lights start picking them up, glow back at you so strongly you just subconsciously slow down to see what it is all about. This is a long needed safety ; id and we are indeed grateful to the State Highway Depart¬ ment. (Wish Lt. Bagley would come back and ride over the place in the road where the Hack top has slipped away. The " eek end rains really played havoc with this spot). There are no warning signs at this place.

Of Judge Townsend Attend Ceremonies Elect to Succeed Himself Judge J. M. C. Townsend Some sixty-five staunch sup-! porters from the four corners of the state (and the middie), went to Atlanta Friday to “help” | Dade’s favorite son, Jpdge J. M. C. (Red) Townsend, qualify as a candidate for the Georgia Court of Appeals. Among the number was a group of Dade Countians who presented the Judge money and checks in the amount of $1,500.00. Needless to say, Dade County should, and no doubt will, give Judge Townsend near a unani¬ mous vote. We predict that the .ante will be true of the Chero¬ kee Judicial Circuit as well as the Seventh Congressional Dis¬ trict; as a matter of fact, know- ing at ieast a few of the count- less thousands of contacts the : Judge has in all sections of the state, we would be hesitant to concede his opposition in a single county. In every county of our state’s 159, Judge Townsend has many, many friends who will ‘Took out” for him on election day—friends who are particular¬ ly interested in his campaign. Everywhere he has the reputa¬ tion of being loyal to his friends and fair to his enemies. The many benefits derived by our county, as a result of the ef¬ forts of Judge Townsend would be difficult to enumerate—They are many and the people of unue County know this to be true— They should and will show their appreciation—their esteem for their favorite son by giving him an all-out vote in the Septem¬ ber Primary. The group from Dade County who went to see Judge Towns¬ end qualify were Messrs. John Murphy, R. S. Townsend, Fred Morgan, R. W. Massey, M. J. Hale, v.'. T. McCauley, Roy Moore and W W. Williams, who presented the Judge with Dade’s gift. MRS. JAMES MILTON CASE HONORED FRI¬ DAY WITH SHOWER Mrs. James Milton Case was honored with a miscellaneous bridal shower last Friday even¬ ing at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Jack Pryor. As¬ sociate hostesses were Mrs. James C. Case and Mrs. James Hatfield. The bride received many beau¬ tiful and useful gifts many of which had been sent by those unable to attend. Two contests with lovely prizes were enjoyed by all. Mrs. M. R. Wilson was the lucky winner in both. After this a delicious Salad Course was served to Mrs. O. F. Greene, Mrs. H. E. Gross. Mrs. Willard Hardeman, Mrs. E. A. Ellis, Mrs. L. M. Allison, Miss Belle Reeves, Mrs. Harry Powell, Mrs. G. C. Tatum, Mrs. Dudley Cureton, Mrs. Cleron Kyzer, Mrs. "His Foster, Mrs. Herschell Dean, Mrs. Grover Long, Mrs. Willie Tucker, Mrs. Granville Pace, Mrs John Hinton, and Mrs. M. R Wilson.

Mr. Luzon Peters, from the Chattanooga Times, told the Georgia newspaper representa¬ tives of the help a weekly paper could be to a. metropolitan dai¬ ly and what the dally could do lor the weekly.

Despite the rapid growth of the program, Mr. "/alters predicts that the peak enrollment will not be reached until sometime in 1949. A short¬ age of qualified teachers is de¬ laying the entrance into training of hundreds of approved veterans in counties all over the state, he indicated. In revealing the number of trainees enrolled on June 1, Mr. Walters also listed some of -the outstanding accomplishments of Georgia farmer veterans since the V. F. T. P. began in 1946.

Seven hundred ninety- seven are farming in partner¬ ship, 3,938 are renters and 2,825 are share croppers. These figures, Mr. Walters observed, indicate that the program Is reaching all types and groups of farmer veterans in the state. The veterans since entering training have procured 11,994 dairy cows, 11,583 beef animals, 10,464 breeding hogs and 44,907 feeder hogs. Almost 3,000,000 broilers have been marketed, 2,185.137 pints of food canned and 7,392 pounds frozen,. 3,557 home orchard* established, 42,392 acres of pas¬ ture developed and 64,883 acres of cropland terraced. Soil, conservation plans are be¬ ing followed by 3,738 of the farm¬ er veterans, 3,330 new farm buildings and 892 homes have been constructed, 1,376 hom°s painted and 1,924 homes land¬ scaped. In the farm shops, veterans have made 47,832 items and re¬ paired 58,124 others. Farm equipment purchased includes 2.496 tractors and 134 combines.
