Newspaper Page TextDade County’s Only Newspaper. V OLUME XLVIX. Big Oak Farms Have Opened Creamery The Big Oak Farms Creamery on the Slygo Road is now in operation and delivering Grade A pasteurized milk daily. This 1 is the only Creamery in Dade County and the most modern and up to date in this area. Mr. H. Dan Smith is the owner and has spent much time as well as money in the plan¬ ning and building of this dairy. There are three buildings all built according to U. S. Govern¬ ment specifications in regard to materials used, light, air and sanitation. He has used mater¬ ials and labor from Dade Coun¬ ty as much as possible for their construction. The milking barn and cream¬ ery are built on the high land near the house. These are of concrete and contain all new machinery in the latest model for milking and pasteurizing. The type of milking machine being used has only been on the market for six months. Af¬ ter the cows are brought to the barn, this new equipment takes over and the milk you receive in your bottles has not been touched by human hands. The third building is a loaf¬ ing barn for shelter during the cold winter nights. The cows will be kept in year round pas¬ ture of Ladino clover and Fes¬ cue. At present they are milk¬ ing 31 cows. All of these Guern¬ sey and Jersey cows have been inoculated and inspected by federal and state licensed ve¬ terinarians. Delivery of milk started Tues¬ day Sept. 6 th and is now being delivered daily. This is fresh morning milk delivered the same day. The schools in the county are using this milk as well as many of the merchants. They also deliver buttermilk made from whole milk and containing as much butterfat as their sweet milk. Assisting Mr. Smith with the work at the Creaipery are W. H. Hart, H. D. Sizemore, Junior Smith and Bernice Smith. Soil Conservation Hugh Clark Down in Cloverdale it’s pretty hard for a young man to make a showing among the Foresters, Lamberts, Bibles, Wallins and others down there but a fellow by the name of McCartey who is trying mighty hard to catch up. Chester bought his 85 acre farm through the Farmers Home Administration in 1947 and has been steadily improv¬ ing the place ever since, mak¬ ing a living and paying some on his land at the same time. Last year he seeded 2V 2 acres of steep, eroded land in Serlces Lespedeza which will be used for hay; 2 acres in Fescue- clover pasture was seeded last fall and about 10 acres of cover crops. 3 spring Chester changed the run of overflow water that had been coming down through some of his best land leaving sand, rock and brush and also with the help of his neighbor Carroll Powell, they changed a road running through the place so that Chester can pasture more land when he gets it seeded. , j This summer and fall he has prepared a good seed bed after turning under vetch for 2 acres of alfalfa that he will seed in a few days. Steadily Chester is “Rolling out the Carpet” or grasses and legumes,, although he hasn’t completed getting his farm in the shape hewants it, he is on his way. Since the spring of 1947, he has been cooperating with the Coosa River Soil Conservation District and became a TVA De¬ monstration farmer this sum¬ mer.

Everyone invited to attend. j Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY,.. SEPTEMBER 15, 1949 Football LaFayette . . . Trenton . . . In spite of the above score, everyone who saw this game seems to be well pleased with Dade High’s first football team. They showed up well in this first game. And so did the Dade sup¬ porters as there were about as many from Dade to root for the team as LaFayette supporters for their team. Most of the boys on this first football team had never played football before and had had little time to learn the plays or prac¬ tice them, but they showed a fighting spirit to win which car¬ ried them through. There were several injuries, mostly due to the boys not having learned how to defend themselves. Stanley Chambers had his arm hurt. Floyd Clark had a cut near his eye and there were some bloody poses and cut faces, but these injuries will not happen so often as the boys learn how to take care of themselves in tlje scrim¬ mage. The team as a whole played such fine ball it is hard to pick any for outstanding plays. Both Cagles did a fine job in the line. Bobby Fugatt, in the last quarter caught a kicked ball and ran it back about 55 yards before being knocked off the side lines. The team all throughout the game made several first downs which speaks for itself. Its a good team. Support it. See the games, root for the team and help financially until it can get m its feet. These who played last Friday night were. Marion Blevins, Clifton and Clifford Cagle, Bill Tucker, Johnny Wallen Stanley Cham- bers, Ronald Steele, Carlton Pittman, Floyd Clark, Wendell Chambers, Bobby Fugatt, Carl Cross. Franklin ~ Baker, Junior T "" Williams. The Dade High football team is a member of the Georgia High School Association and is playing .under their rules. All member schools have the same eligibility rules which must be followed. Of course first, the school must be an accredited high school in order to participate with any other school in sport or literary events. No one can coach the team unless he is a full time em- oloyee of the school. All players are required to pass a physical test. The eligibility rules for the players are:— 1. Player must have obtained 3 unit credits in she previous year 2. Player must pass 3 subjects a year to be eligible to play. 3. Player must not have reach¬ ed his 19th birthday prior to the opening day of school. 4. Player cannot be a migra tory student. Any violation of these rules could cause the team to forfeit all games won and could result in prohibiting the school from participating in that sport for a year. PMA Contributes To Soil Conservation In Dade County. ^ Many of you can remember , w h en there was no Production anc j Marketing Administration to assist farmers in carrying out soil-building practices on their) farms. Consequently when AAA did come along Dade County like many others had plenty of worp-out, run down farm land. Through the assistance offered jt 0 farmers through the Produc- 1 tioxi and Marketing Administra- Ifjon many farmers have done much toward re-building land that was unsuitable for culti- vation. This assistance is offered to farmers both in the form of cas h payments for carrying out soil-building practices and thru he Pur'hase Order Plan where- p y S Q ed and materials mav be secured with a small cost to the farmer. Many small farmers would be unable to carry out any practices if it were not through the Purchase Order Plan. In Dade County alone there are*some interesting figures for comparison in the year 1947 when funds for assistance farmers was small. The decrease in amount of phosphate used was 40 tons, the decrease in win- ter legumes seeded was 400 lbs., and the decrease in annual les¬ pedeza seeded was 3000 pounds. Last year these figures were in¬ creased greatly on all soil- build¬ ing practices though the rate of payment was less. Since the beginning of the 1949 j Program in Dade County the amount of Purchase Orders issu¬ ed amounts to $10,315.00, an increase of $6,228.00 over the amount issued last year. 1 There are a number of farms I in Dade County worthy of a I tour and commendation. Most I of these are farmers who have . advantage of ... the taken full „ as- ; sistance through the Production j and Marketing Administration Have you seen the pasture at Massey’s, or the pond at Richard Parker’s? All of these are prac¬ tices carried out through AAA Assistance. Don’t Be Left Out, Attend Dade Hi T. A.

OFFICIALS PLACE THE COST OF THIS UNIT AT $27,900. Free Blood Tests, Chesi X-Rays Scheduled For Dade A free chest X-ray and blood test for every citizen over 12 years of age in Dade County This unusual health program has been promoted for Dade County through the efforts of lthe County Board of Health; Miss Fannielu McWhorter, County Nurse; Dr. D. S. Middle- ton and the State Health De¬ partment for September 19-23 at a free testing station to be located at the Court House Square September 19, 20 and 21. The station will open from 11:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. On Sept, 22 , the testing station will be established at the Davis Hign School on Sand Mountain at he Wildwood Community House 0 n the morning of Sept. 23rd a nd at Rising Fawn School on the afternoon of September 23. “We hope at least 3500 people w jn take advantage of this op- portunity and visit the free testing stations” declared Dr. F. w Thyng of the State Health Department regional office in J ome Dr. Thyng pointed out that chest x-rays are taken j-jght through the clothing at the rate of more than 100 per hour. The blood test is a simple operation requireing only a mi¬ nute. Blood samples will be sent to a special State Health Depart¬ ment laboratory in Atlanta. Re¬ sults will be mailed to the indi¬ viduals tested within two weeks. The results will be kept strictly confidential. If the results should indicate a need for treatment for syphilis the pa¬ tient may either be treated by his or her physician or be sent to the medical center at Alto, Ga., for a free course treatment consisting mainly of penicillin shots. The treatment has re¬ sulted in a high percentage of cures and takes only a few days. Should the x-ray picture in¬ dicate any unsatisfactory con¬ dition the individual concerned will be called back for further examination. Early tuberculosis can be cured and TB victims have the privilege of being sent i to Batty Hospital, the state TB •sanitarium at Rome, if they de¬ sire. j “We hope that Dade County will take this opportunity to rid | the community of syphilis and tuberculosis, two of Georgia’s greatest public health enemies,” Dr. C. D. Bowdoin, State Health Department VD control officer remarked. Dr. Bowdoin further stated that syphilis, in its latter stages, can cause blindness, heart and many other crippling diseases and even death. 'If discovered early, syphilis can be cured. It can be discovered if we dispense with shame, ignor- ance and fear, our greatest enemies in the war against ve- neral disease,” Dr. Bowdoin pointed out. ----------— HOME DEMONSTRATION MEETINGS NEXT WEEK New Salem on Tuesday Sept. 20 th at Mrs. Frances Moores.

Published Weekly—Since 1901 New Salem and Trenton Winners in Ihe Play Off At last Sunuay’s games in the play oil of the North Georgia- Alabama League, New Salem took Avans for a 15 to 7 win and Lrentcn edged out a 7-6 victory over Higdon. Both games were played on the field in Trenton before the largest crowd ever assembled there for a bp.ll game. The crowd, estimated at over 600 fans stood in the sun for nearly four 1 | hours battle to watch it these There four top teams out. were almost 100 cars down around the field and the road above was lined 2 and 3 deep in some places. New trucks and cars were very much in evidence. The fjrst game was between New Salem and Avans. New Salem started off the game with 2 runs in the first inning. In the fourth Lloyd Moore made a , home run mttmg .... the , ball to the left field, Ellison missed the catch and it looked to the spec- tatois as though he became so interested m watching the ner that he forgot to look lor the ball. In the seventh, Ellison at bat took a healthy cut at the ball. This connected, break- ing the bat as it hit and as Ellison headed for first a broken piece of the bat almost made third. Other hits of the game were two baggers by Ellison, W. D. Patton and Avans for Avans and W. Gray for New Salem. Ellison with 3 for 6 and Robinson with 3 for 5 led the hitting for Avans and for New Salem with L. W.

NUMBER 36 Improvement Column ^SUlJULiiSUUULJUUlSULJUUUlJU^' For several months we have been reading in this column of bathroom and kitchen improve¬ ment but this week we have the story of a beautiful home after a complete rennovation... the G. C. Tatum Home. In Mrs. Tatum’s own words, “the old four bedroom house looked hopeless”, not a closet in the house and a kitchen so small it was impossible to squeeze in a breakfast nook. Had you passed by this house for the several weeks before oc¬ cupation by the Tatum Family you would have seen signs of modernization until the mid¬ night hour with the sound of the carpenter, painter and paper hanger all busy at their job. The floors of the four bed rooms were sanded and finished like new. The walls were re-pa- pered with each of the 3 sons planning his own room and do- lng most o fthe re-modeling. By running some new partitions a closet was built in each bed- room Colorful drap eries and rugs add a touch of cheerfulness j n ad bedrooms. A bit of origin- ality has entered “Buddy’s” r0 om in the form of his bed w hich he designed and built of plywood. John is also, doing some very fancy work with sun- ken shelves and a mantle design¬ ed along the same lines. These rooms are a challenge for any boy who has a “knack” of work¬ ing with hammer and saw. The living room, dining room and hall were so dark that they were papered in very light-color¬ ed wall paper with white wood¬ work. The floors were painted a very light color, also. White Ve¬ netian blinds and pleated dra¬ peries also, helped the lighting problem. In the living room ins¬ tead of bookcases are beauti- fully arranged sunken shelves which were built by the boys. Mrs. Tatum says the kitchen is the favorite room and it should be. It is complete with modern white steel cabinets, electric range, dual-temp refrigerator and sink. There is also a white enamel breakfast table and chairs. The floors is covered with red and ivory asphalt squares. The walls are of yellow tileboard up to the windows and papered in blending colors above. The windows are filled with African Violets in full bloom. The kitchen was enlarged by enclos¬ ing part of the back porch. The rest of the porch was used for canned fruit and vegetable closet, a shower bath and auto- washing machine as well as a utility closet. The bath is finished in a lovely shade of peach tileboard and papered with a blending shade, ^The floor is covered in asphalt 'squares of blue and ivory. A, ; closet was added in the bath- also. White woodwork and „white throughout the home give it so much more light on dark, gl° om y days. The yard has been beautifully kept all summer and we have noti ced Buddy pushing a lawn mower each Friday. We are sure that a lot of hard work and planning went into ^"“ this ‘ house to make it the lovely ___________* e it now ls LARGE ATTENDANCE AT RISING FAWN P. T. A The Parent-Teachers Club of the Rising Fawn Community held its regular monthly meet- |i n S on last Thursday night with appriximately 100 patrons and teachers in attendance Visitors from the Health De¬ partment were, Miss Susan Ma¬ thews, Regional Nutritionist, Miss Reagan, State Nutrition¬ ist, Miss Opheim and Miss Fan¬ nielu McWhorter, County Nurse. They presented a pro¬ gram consisting of a movie, “How a School Learned to Eat,” and an open discussion on pro¬ per food for school children. Mr. Dewey Bradford reported that the porch leading from the lunch room had been com¬ pleted and in use since the opening of school, Plans were furthered for the purchase of an electric stove for the lunch room. The good attendance by par¬ ents indicated an interest in the school and the welfare of J Iren in the community.
