Thomas was elected chairman of the Co-op Board of Directors at, a meeting held re cently. Mr. G. V. Green was elected vice chairman and J. R. Cooper, Jr., who Is the co-op manager, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. D. T. Brown was elected as a Director of the Georgia Moun¬ tain G rowers Co-op. There was other Co-op busi¬ ness which came before this meeting. The Board voted to try to buy a Seed Cleaner to help in the better marketing of the seed raised in the county. They also voted to buy a corn sheller which would assist with the marketing of corn. They voted to raise the Co-op Man¬ agers salary by percent of the added business which he brought In. The Board voted to sell the old truck and keep the tractor. They also voted to sell the Cannery. The Cannery Back in the early !930’s the east end of the Cannery build¬ ing was errected with a shed extending westward. This was used as a W. P. A. office and store room. In 1937 or 38 the building w'as used for the Mattress program which was started that the women in the county should have a way to dispose of their surplus cotton and to make some money by the sale of the finish¬ ed mattress. They paid a small fee on each mattress for the use of the building and for the help and guidance, "which was sup¬ plied by the Extension Service, they received in the making the mattress. Mrs. S. J. Hale was in charge of this project. The AAA office was in this building for a time. In 1942 the building was stand- ing idle and a movement was started to set up a Cannery. Per¬ mission was received from the County, who owned the land and the building , to use it for this purpose. The County paid for the walling in of the shed part, the windows, the laying of the concret floor and supplied all the labor for this and for the installation of the plumbing. Second hand pipes and retorts were found which were paid for by the county and from the $147.40 left over from the matt¬ ress project. Mr. Tom Selman then at the Big Oak Farms, do¬ nated an old boiler. The Co-op bought the furnace, 2 retorts, the steam jackets, steam kettle and sealers at a cost of $488.65. The Extension Service (County and Home Demonstration Agent) supervised the operation of the Cannery from 1943 to 1948. The Co-op took over the in 1949 and as their report show’s lost $32.86 this past year. Perhaps the Cannery is not used as much as it should be, but there is a definate need for it. Times get bad and surplus produce has to be canned to be saved if for no other reason. A se ond need is that a Cannery is one of the pieces of equipment which the government has said is needed to have a Veterans Farm Training School in a county. Dade’s Cannery has been like a step child. In other counties, the school's Vocational Agri¬ cultural teacher is in charge of the Cannery. He is able to teach and to show how’ to get the mod use out of it. However Dade does not have such a teacher be.ause the State says there must be a separate building and be certain equipment set up be¬ fore a county can have a Vo¬ cational teacher.

A. meeting this Friday night Feb. 17th at 8 p. m. in the school auditorium. This Is the Found¬ er’s Day program and should prove interesting. All parents are invited. *--o-■- Cave Springs News Bro. Harold Howell from New England preached at Cave Springs Saturday night, bring¬ ing an inspiring message on faith. Mr. Haston Hibbs was cn the sick list several days last week. It’s good to see him out again. Mrs. John B. Harrison was also a flu victim last week, glad to report her up and about again. Mrs. Elliott has been sick for sometime and does not seem to improve much. Efforts are be¬ ing made to get her in a hospital for treatment. I hear Mr. Grady Clark has several children down with flu. Sammy Harrison made his regular trip to Chattanooga to the Dr. Saturday and we are glad he reports Sammy improv¬ ed since he saw him three weeks ago. Progress and prosperity is evidenced, as lumber is on the Cave Springs Church grounds for a Sunday School room and in spite of the nation’s coal situ¬ ation a nice load of coal is also on the grounds. Mrs. Canova Guinn was called away Wednesday of last week, !due to the illness of her son Charles who is employed in Birmingham; but she is back home, so we take it for granted Charles is better. Mrs. Will Bradford was con¬ fined to her home last week end due to a light attack of flu. We are afraid to say spring is just around the corner even though peach and pear trees are in bloom, the old ground hog might be pulling an April fool on us. pays three fourths of his salary) The Veterans Farm class has said they will build this if the materials can be supplied and it will also be possible to get the equipment. Seems too bad to loose the Cannery for lack' of sufficient funds to build a Vo¬ cational Agricultural building.

Here are a few helpful hints on dental care. Every child should have a dental check up before he's three so he can get the right start on the way to oral health. The age of three is when your child should begin , learning to brush his teeth. ; Teach him to use his tooth brush immediately after every i meal, and after those between meal snacks, too. Sugar’s sweet but a pleasing smile is sweeter! Sweets can :-poil your smile with tooth de cay. And, too, decayed teeth can undermine the health. That’s why it is so important for chil¬ dren to get the tooth-brushing habit even before their perman¬ ent teeth appear. Every child should have so¬ dium fluoride treatments ap¬ plied directly to the teeth by a dentist. While it’s not a total preventive, it may help reduce tooth decay as much as 40#. Most approved dentifrices are helpful in keeping teeth cl”an but no one dentifrice is a “cure all,” nor has it been definitely proven that any dentifrice will completely prevent decay. “Early care of children’s teeth will be of untold benefit to them later in life,” opined Dr. Steve A. Garrett, President of the Georgia Dental As ’n. “Every child should visit the dentist at regular and frequent intervals.” GOVERNOR ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY Governor Herman Talmadge address (he General Assembly Saturday.
