Press Association Advertising rates will be JUDGE TOWNSEND „ uu a e Townsend in an open jam to all of us thanks the oi Dade County for “the lav that they have always stood behind me.” One fajct we in j_avu must not overlook is that he is always ready to go to bat ior u. and is now in a position to do so. Perhaps you do not always agios with him, perhaps you per¬ sonally have not liked some of the things you think he has done but the fact remains Judge Townsend is well known in At¬ lanta and he is popular with all who know him. He is always proud of the fact he comes from Dade County and he is contin¬ ually fighting for our share in any state benefits to be received. There is entirely too much talk i mt the Sriid Mountain Read 1 ing kicked around as a po- 1: ;ical football. O. K. but is it? Are you one of the ones who l.ave made a recent trip to At¬ lanta to see Judge Townsend. Yes Judge Townsend has had many callers from Dade County during the past few weeks. And do you suppose for one moment that everyone who went to see him was in agreement and ask¬ ing for the same thing? Don’t vou suppose that most of them wanted something different sui^h as. where we want this Sand Mountain road to come off the mountain? How can this road ge f started if we all pull against each other about where we want it to go. Also the laying of this road is to have assistance of Federal funds. Have you for¬ gotten so soon how slowly the federal government moves? W ' have backed Judge Towns¬ end for the Judge of the Spue- rior Court and for his appoint¬ ment to the Court of Appeals r»rM n i<! Tm to Dade to keep on Packing him. Isn’t it possible by his being in Atlanta, in a dig¬ nified and responsible position twat he is able to do more for Pad 0 than we are able to do for him. LIQUOR We seem to be having an epi¬ demic of public drunkness and the almost public sale of whiskey throughout the county. Almost every day women from all parts of the county tell me that they Tire afraid to walk on the roads a’ono because of the drunks, or they report a car full of drunks parked and wont let them by, or there is a fight and guns appear or the noise at a near by house keeps thefn awake all night. For the past several weeks each Mon- (Pv mornine one or more empty whiskey bottles are sitting on the window sill on the stair lending at the Court House. T f the majority of the people in f he county don’t like what r-n why don’t we band to end do something about it We have always been led ’ ii v in this democratic tw of ours that the majority nvb’ic oninnn rules. However 'net. don’t rare why don’t ' ,i sk n the sale of liquor end derive some tax money u ps i»m seem to be nPrf.v of untaxed liquor around STOP!

County Agent’s Column Home gardens are producing an abundance of good wholesome mod. There is an important need this year as in the past for foods to be preserved and saved at home. Hungry people throughout the oiad will be suffering this win¬ ter due to the lack of food. Ev¬ ery quart or pound you save at home will make available an e- quaf amount to distribute to less fortunate people. Modern home canning is not the burden that it was a few years ago. Simple pressure cookers with properly tested gagues take the guess work out of processing. Modern canning ouipment lightens the work and he chances of spoilage has been •: duced to a minimum. Farm groups who are interest¬ 'd in canning any large quan¬ tity have access to the commu¬ nity cannery located in Trenton. This plant has the capacity to take care of 500 to 1000 quarts ner day. Community groups can use the annery to preserve surplus foods for school lunch rooms. In his way foods that might go to waste can be put to a good use n furnishing nourishing lunches ’or school children during the vinter. Canning guides and the latest nformation on canning can be obtained at the county agent’s office. * * * * * The week or July 25 to 31 has been designated as Farm Safety Week. Did you know that dur- ng the next twelve months one out of every 18 farm residents vill suffer a disabling injury? One out of every four farms vill be the scene of an accident ■esulting in a disabling injury to a farm resident. Accidental death will occur in one out of. every 320 farm fam¬ ilies. A disabling injury will strike 'ome farm resident every 19 sec¬ onds. Accidents, on the average will kill 51 farm residents every day. Total costs of accidents involv- : ng farm people, including fire, motor vehicle and property dam¬ age, will be $1,050,000.00, or $35 per farm resident. Four farm buildings will be destroyed by fire every hour of he day, every day of the yar---- according to the National Fire Protection Association. You wouldn’t hardly believe ’hese figures to be true would ou, but they are based on past "ecords and have actually hap- oened as stated during the past years. Farm people or Dade County are urged to check on accident hazards and elimnate these haz¬ ards as near as possible.
