Ste ids ([mint)) IWM Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME LI *****+*+*+************** DALLYIN’ IN DADE By Myrna R. McMahan *******★*★★***★+*******4 This summer some of the most interesting vacations have been taken by Dade County folks—several motored up to the Smoky Mountains recently for a look-see at the Cherokee Indian drama. “Unto These Hills,” an amazingly authentic production. The camping grounds there have been dotted with Dade campfires the past few months. The Bill Pullens, with his bro¬ ther and family, drove up a couple of weeks ago, pitched their tent in what they firmly believed was a secluded spot and woke up the next morning to the accompaniment of snores coming from several tents and trailers all about them. Louise and E. G. Wright enthusiastic¬ ally agree with the Morganville family that “Unto These Hills” was well worth traveling so far to .see. Florida seems to be the most popular spot for Dade vacat¬ ionists... Most of them rent cottages on the beach, doing their own cooking and enjoy¬ ing the fresh salt air. The I. O. Wheeler family were among se¬ veral Trenton families who have recently returned from Daytona Beach. Fishermen in the county don’t have much luck here, so they get up at the break of dawn for a trip to Scottsboro or the Tennessee River. Favor¬ ing the former spot is Newell Scruggs, who is growing famous for his fish which really are “that long.” The past week end, he loaded his family in the car, and along with the Jimmy Tom Wilsons and Jakie Smiths, spent a day on the ri¬ ver bank, occasionally pulling some in and pausing only long enough for a good picnic lunch which the wives had prepared. Speaking of wives, they have certainly been working over¬ time lately, putting up fruits and vegetables for the coming winter. Peaches, com, toma¬ toes, ckra and berries have been put up in jars and pack¬ ages for the freezer. The lucky ones are those who own free¬ zers, for the time required for preparing food for freezing is shorter and easier. Mrs. W. N. Pierson, Misses May and Bess Cureton, and the Donnie Me Mahans are among the freezer- owners in Rising Fawn. Last winter, the McMahan offspring froze snow balls and snow cream. Mrs. Milt Wilson has been busy canning chickens. There are those who don’t think canned chicken will “keep”, but Mrs. Wilson has been put¬ ting up several dozen jars suc¬ cessfully for the last few years. You families who can in large quantities are eligible to use the cannery in Trenton right away t Our personality of the week “flew the coop” just as we had him lined up at the last mi¬ nute, but he plans to “light” back here next week. IDLE MOMENTS The new Case addition is near¬ ing completion. The brickwork is finished and the plasterers are starting on the wails. The building will feature a large plate glass window on both the lower and upper floors. Lions To Host Fish Fry August 17 The American Legion Hall is the site selected by the Lions Club for a real fish fry, with all the trimmings. On next Friday night, August 17th, Jim Morri¬ son, Tom Renfroe, Dudley Cure- ton, Raymond Street and Blanton will start the fish fry¬ ing and have everything ready to serve at six o’clock. Plates will be served until the runs out. Tickets for adults are being sold for $1.00, but all children under » twelve . . years will K/a be served free. Everyone is to come up, join in the fun and satisfy their cravings for because there’ll be plenty of The regular Lions Club meet- ing will be held after supper. Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY AUGUST 9, 1951 Owning « . Rashers p. . CdUght Dy LyilCll “Rabbit” Williams and Er nest Watson confessed Friday night to slashing the canvas awnings of Burton Kenimer’s store in Rising Fawn several weeks age. Acting upon infor¬ mation received last week, Sheriff Lynch rounded up se¬ veral boys around Rising Fawn after the movie which is shown at the schoolhouse each Friday night, and after long question¬ ing, the guilty pair admitted cutting the awnings with a knife. There is no apparent reason for the act, which is just one of numerous “pranks” pul¬ led in Rising Fawn from time to time. There seems to be a group of boys involved in the latter case. Williams and Watson, have been bound over to the grand jury along with Doyle (Rock) Seay, who was arrested for public drunkenness, and Wil¬ liam E. Pate, who has halted Sunday by officers who found a case of whiskey in his car. Ten¬ nessee authorities had notified Lynch to be on the lookout for Pate, a Chattanooga resident. Dade countians are relieved to hear that James Case has been acquitted of the man¬ slaughter charge brought against him last week. Accord¬ ing the the judge there was in¬ sufficient evidence. Farmers’ Grazing Conference Aug. 19 A Year-Round Grazing Con¬ ference for the farmers of Georgia has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, August 19 at' the Tower Theatre, 583 Peach¬ tree Street, NE, Atlanta, Chan- ning Cope, chairman of the event has announced, The need for such \ -confer¬ ence was demonstrated in last year’s severe winter, Mr. Cope pointed out. A survey by the Kentucky 31 Fescue Association of Georgia has found numerous instances where Fescue pro¬ vided grazing all winter while other crops failed. The conference has attracted sufficient official notice to bring Dr. Hugh Hammond Ben-, Soil' nett, Chief of the U. S. Conservation Service in Wash¬ ington to the meeting. Chief Bennett has said that the dis¬ covery of Fescue was the great¬ est single discovery since Co¬ lumbus discovered America. Fescue, sometimes called Suiter’s Grass was discovered on the farm of a man named Suited in Kentucky in 1931 — thus the designation K 31. The critical planting period for Fescue is generally from late August to early November. The Conference is timed to im¬ mediately proceed this period. Others who will participate in the August 19 conference are: Dean Paul Chapman, Col¬ lege of Agriculture; Dr. Mikon Jarnagin, Extension Service; Supervisor, T.j I G. Walters, State Vocational Agriculture; Com-; missioner Tom Linder; H. L. Wingate, President of the Geor- gia Farm Bureau Federation; Vallene Bennett, President of the Georgia Association of Electrical Membership Corpora¬ tion; Lawson Patten, President of he Georgia Crop Improve¬ ment Association; Bert Hen¬ drickson, Soil Conservation Ser¬ vice Experiment Station, Wat- kinsville; D. E. Nally, farmer, Cumming; W. E. Beardon, far¬ mer, Valdosta. The conference which is, sponsored by many of the state’s agricultural groups will: start at 1:00 Sunday afternoon, August 19, and run until 5:00.' Channing Cepe passes on the good word that the Tower Thea re is air-conditioned.

Mrs. H. E. Gross, entertain¬ ment chairman, with her com¬ mittee members,, Mesdames Jules Case. Charles Gray, W.

Dade County Election Returns j Dade County has just been envolved in one of the most useless state-wide elections. The election was held to elect | three Solicitor Generals, one for the Rome Circuit, one for the Macon Circuit and the other f:r. the Southwestern Circuit. These three Circuits envolve approximately nine counties, leaving about 150 counties to an election whic|i.. cjoh’t concern us in anything except a loss of a few hundred dollars of tax money in each county. We hope this law is corrected before something similar comes up. Here are the returns for Dade County: Precincts: 974 Wildwood, 10; 873 Slygo, 4; 960 Trenton, 10; 1038 Rising Fawn, 19; 1129 Sul¬ phur Springs, 6; Byrd’s Chapel, 4; 1214 New Salem, 0; 1089 Hooker, 9 ; 1222 Cole City, 0; 1885 New Home, 6; 1037 New England, 6. Total, 74 votes. Here is what the people would say about voting, “Why should we vote for something that don’t concern us, I think the people in these Circuits can handle their own business.” Following is the list of elec¬ tion managers: 974 Wildwood: C. W. Cross, Mrs. J. E. Smith, Faye Cross. 873 Slygo: Joe Doyle, W. H. Dugan, J. E. Cole. 960 Trenton: A. W. Peck, Mrs. Annie Hale, H. F. Allison. 1038 Rising Fawn: C. A. Whi¬ ted, T. A. Steele, W. F.

A truck equipped with loudspeaker will be used Wednesday to announce the sale to everyone within i hearing distance. Published Weekly—Since 1901 I Homemaking Program At Milledgeville Milledgeville — G e o r g i a’s hi memaking education teachers will come from every part 1 of the state on August 13 to at¬ tend the State Teachers’ Con¬ ference called by Miss Inez Wallace of Atlanta, state direc¬ tor of the homecoming program for Georgia. Headlining the program this year will be dis- of mental health, con¬ ducted by Grant Husbands, frem the State Department of Health. Socio-dramas and dis- cussions on techniques of coun¬ with adolescents, ways of improving mental health, and procedures of guidance for those who work with high school girls will feature this section of the program. Workshops on flower arrange¬ ments, textiles and designs for slip covers and draperies, home millinery, cake decoration, pub¬ lic relations and home beauti¬ fication through the use of Georgia products will be other featufes cn the program. An exhibit of Georgia pro¬ ducts that can be used to create beauty for the home will be shown in the exhibit rooms. Figurines and other decorative objects made from cypress and pine wood, clay and rocks, sim¬ ple furniture that can be de¬ and cut in a home, clothing and table linens made from simple fabrics and many other things will be displayed for the teachers. Jean Sheldon, from the Okla- A & M school will give sewing demonstrations in the Bishop Method. New teaching devices which have discovered will be shared at one session. Enter¬ tainment will be interspersed throughout the week’s program for the teachers also. Mrs. J. C. Billue is home¬ making teacher at Trenton. The Georgia homemaking education program is the third largest in the nation. Freak Tomato Grown at Cole City Bertha Patten, of Cole City, was first surprised, then amused by the sight of an un¬ usual tomato growing in her garden. She showed it to Mail Carrier Fred Morgan, who thought the tomato was too freakish to leave so he brought it to the Times office. Of average size, the tomato has a smaller growth near the stem which projects outward, giving the appearance of a tea¬ kettle if the vegetable is turned upside down, or a round-headed man with a long, beak-like nose if it is turned the normal way. Folk around the square who have seen asmples of the sweet corn the Co-op is selling, agree with the boys who raised it that it is about the best they’ve seen. Winning Scrapbooks To Be On Display The nine 1950 Champion Home Town Prize-W inning Books will be shown at the home of Misses May and Bess Cureton in Rising Fawn on Tuesday, Abgu st 14th from 4 till 5 p. m. All persons in the community who are interested in seeing these books are welcome, as well as improvement leaders from other communities. Due to the lack of sufficient time and in order to show them in as many towns as possible, Fred F. Starr, Georgia Power Community Development Re- presentative, states that it is to remain in the county any longer than the time alloted. Rising Fawn was an entry in 1950’s Better Home Town Con¬ test, sponsored by the Georgia Power Company, which offers $1,000 to any town or commun¬ ity which shows the most im¬ provement during a certain length of time. NUMBER 31 Roberts New Dade Athletic Coach Principal J. C. Billue an¬ nounces this week that Carl G. Roberts, of Birmingham, Ala., has been hired as athletic coach and assistant principal at Dade High School for the coming term. Roberts will replace former coach Efcive Woodall, who has accepted a position elsewhere. A graduate of Howard Col¬ lege in Birmingham, Roberts is twenty-two, unmarried and played football as All-Dixie Conference and there for two years. He has spent the past summer at Peabody Teachers’ College in Nashville, working on his master’s degree in phy¬ sical education. Besides his physical education duties as football and basket¬ ball coach, Roberts will teach health and social science. Football practice is scheduled to begin about the last of this month, Principal Billue stated. He hopes to outfit about thirty boys by the time school starts. Thirty new jerseys, two foot¬ balls and blocking dummies have been added to the foot¬ ball equipment. New uniforms were purchased last spring fol¬ lowing the gym burning. All boys who are planning to go out for football this year should be present at thb work¬ ing on the athletic field Satur¬ day, August 18th, in order to have it ready to use by practice time. Football fans in the county are looking forward to the first game this season and will be backing every man on the team. Dade High’s team made a good record last year, but Coach Roberts and Principal Billue are expecting to top that and really wake north Georgia up to the fact that Dade County has an outstanding football team.
