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.

Dade Supporters !
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.

Institutional On-Farm
Training Program
Rt: cites New Iligli
Atlanta, Ga., July — Enroll¬
ment in the Institutional On-
i 1 rm training program in Ga.,
soared to a new high in May
when 12,102 veterans were par¬
ticipating in the program, T. G.
Walters, state supervisor of agri-
uitural education, revealed here
today.
That enrollment is an increase
of more thaa 1,500 trainees for
the three-months period since
March 1. 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.
Of the 12,102 veterans, 4,542
are farm owners, 1,823 havin'”
purchased farms since entering
training. 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.
This summer two On-Farm
Training Classes are in session
in Dade County.
