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.

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.

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

HERE IS THE 43 foot MOBILE X-RAY TRAILER WHICH
j THE DADE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS BRINGING IN
FOR THE TB-VD SURVEY SEPT. 19-23. 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.

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

^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
