Substitute for Uranium c ought In Georgia Atlanta, July 21.—(GPS) Geor gia in the future may become .more closely tied with the man- uf'acture of the atomic bomb. Here’s the reason: Radioactive minerals needed to replace uranium going into atomic bombs will be the object of a prospecting trip soon to be made in Georgia by the State Geology Department and the U. S. Bureau of Mines, according to State Geologist Garland Pey- ton. We expect to find deposits of ' zirconium, titanium and thorium in monanzite sands which we i feel almost certain are located along Georgia’s seacoast, Mr. Peyton said. Monazite sands c o n t ai n metals vitally needed by indus¬ try and the United States armed 1 forces, according to various tech- nical publications. Captain Peyton described them as having the greatest potential use in “the atomic bomb era.” For example, {.Itanium is needed in the pro- duction of jet propulsion engines. as well as in the manufacture of : rubber, plastics, paper, cosmet- cs and textiles, he said. Supplies of this light metal in e United States are critically . short, according to U. S. Govern- Jlien t brochures. Most are im- j ported but a great part in Florida comes from three locations land from a few others along the Eastern seaboard. Said Captain Peyton: I "We have every reason to be¬ lieve we’ll find better deposits in I Georgia.... Several manufact- I I urers already have expressed in- tc-rest in what we find. It is not j lQQ much to expect that we shall haye several industries in Geor- j . f we are successful.” _ J) _ jg n« Will? • tOnVeil- P a( O O 25 __, I tion To Meet July The Dade County Singing Con¬ vention will be held at the Dade County High School Sunday, July 25.

Farrow, deputy ra¬ bies inspector, started his rounds of Dade County on Tuesday of tins week. The response in Tren¬ ton was very good. Many dogs were to be seen all day long on the Court House Square, and many gathered to watch the pr¬ ocedure. The dogs mostly were brought in on a rope and behav¬ ed in an orderly manner. The inoculation was quickly over and apparently not painful lr the dogs as they took it calm¬ ly, without crying out or mov¬ ing. Mr. Farrow warned all owners of dogs which had been inoculated to keep them up for j. ui.een day period. He also warned that after he finishes his series of visits throughout the county for this rabies vac¬ cination all dogs seen without a rabies tag charges will be pre¬ ferred against the owner. If no owner-can be found the dog will be shot. Those who so far have bro’t their dogs in for vaccination on juiy 20 are: TRENTON — Dan Scruggs I dog, J. M.

The new cases have appeared in North Georgia and South Georgia but not in the middle part of the State. This would indicate that the total for the year will average out about the same. There is certainly no indication, yet, that we are fac¬ ing an epidemic.” Capt. Draper said that of the 50 new cases reported in 1948, some 33 involved children five years of age and under—24 of them boys. Thirteen others are in the age group 6 to 16—six of them boys. The oldest polio patient newly reported this year is a 42-year-old Negro. James Glenn Schrock, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Schrock from Head River is one of Dade’s children who have been afflicted with Infantile Paralysis this year. The Georgia Chapter of the National Foundation for In¬ fantile Paralysis is helping with th 2 expenses of his rospitaliza- tion. As of July 1, 1948, there htve been only five cases of polio re¬ ported from three counties in the Seventh District. North Carolina has a genuine emdemic on its hands in certain sections. Nearly 700 new cases of polio have been reported to the N 0r th Carolina State Board of Health so fax this year, ^ L'CIl CaSC AlUlOlinCeS _ . t0IllI11ltt6eS , _ Newly elected Lion President _ . , , Jules A.

Fox Hunters To Hold Field Trial In Dade The Northwest Georgia Fox Hunters Association this year will hold their Annual Bench Show and Field Trial in Dade County on August 12, 13 and 14. The Bench Show will be held at the Dade High Gym on the night c.f August 12. The first cast will be Friday at daybreak and the second Saturday morning. Five counties Whitfield, Ca¬ toosa, Walker, Chattooga and Dade belong to the Association whose members will bring over 250 dogs to Dade County to com¬ pete at this meet. The dogs will be cared for at Roy Moore’s. ALL THESE DOGS HAVE BEEN INOCULATED FOR RA- | BIES. While they are on their run there will be no mistaking ' tnem they will not only as wear a collar with their owner’s name but large numbers will be painted cn both sides as a means of iden¬ tification. If you see a dog which looks tired you can easily iden¬ tify him by these markings and you will know that he is NOT a - “mad dog” for I repeat, THESE DOGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN VACCINATED AGAINST RA¬ BIES. This Field Trial has the coop¬ eration of the Wildlife Associa¬ tion, the land owners over whose land they will run and the Wild¬ life Ranger. The dogs will be released north of highway No. 2 cn Lookout Mountain. The land owners in the Game Refuge a- preed should the dogs run this far south to guard against the dogs entering our Deer preserve. Last year these Field Trials were held in Whitfield County and over 1000 spectators thrilled to these sunrise casts. Mr. J. W. Lynch is Vice Presi¬ dent of the Association and Roy Moore, Grady Bradford, Char'es Hixon, G. O. Giles, are members of the Board of Directors from Dade County.

Mickey Blevins Is District Winner Marion (Mickey^ Blevins, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Blevins (f Piney won first place in his division at the District Achieve¬ ment Contest held in Athens last week. Mickey gave a demon¬ stration on “Common Parasites of CatHe and Their Control." Mickey llustrated his talk with posters and samples of the dif¬ ferent drugs to be used for the control of various pests. These posters were made by Bobby Kenfroe from the Trenton 4-H Club and the pictures of the cat¬ tle pests were drawn by 12 year old Teddie Camp from the Ris¬ ing Fawn 4-H Club. When Mickey finished his de¬ monstration he was asked ques¬ tions on his subject. The judge asked him, “Would you give Phe- nothiazin to milk cows?” Mickey thought a moment and said, No, because worms as a rule do not harm grown cattle only the joung.” In his study of the subject of his demonstration, this question had not been dis¬ cussed and the County Agents '-■ere more than pleased that he had been able to think this out md give such a good answer. Mickey will now compete in October against the winners of the other 6 districts in Georgia and the winner from the state contest will compets in Chicago :or naiional honors.
