This Week’s Personality ...is Lewis McBryar, Trenton merchant and leader in the Baptist Church. Jackson Coun¬ ty, Alabama, was his hcmeplace until 1919, when he moved lock, stock and barrel to Dade Coun¬ ty. • The son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac McBryar could be found on most chilly mornings during his boyhood days out on the ridges or in the back fields with his rifle ready to down the first rabbit or squirrel that grew careless enough to come within range. When he was sixteen years old, he began operating a small country store for his father along with various ventures in¬ to the sawmill business. Two years later, his heart was won by Miss Margie Holder, a young belle who lived near the Me Bryar home. Then for four years, he work¬ ed in a stove foundry as “mounter” in South Pittsburg, Tenn. It was at the end of these hard-working years that he came to Trenton, buying out I. H. Wheeler, Sr.’s stock in a general store which was located at the present store site in the old Case Hotel Building. Three months later, it burned to the ground. After the store was rebuilt, Lewis and his cousin, Arthur, bought out Mr. Wheeler and have operated a general store here in Trenton and in East Lake since. The McBryars live in a beau¬ tifully-landscaped home in South Trenton which “Mr. Lewis,” as he is familiarly £nown, built. They are the par¬ ents of seven children, who are all married, and several (grandchildren. . !

THE DADE TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AUGUST 16, 1951 ARCHITECTS’ CONCEPTION OF NEW DAD3 COUNTY GYM.—Hunt and Caton, Chattanoo¬ j ga architects, have designed this ultra-modern lew gymnasium with the needs of Dade County youth in mind.

Clearing up confusion which had existed ever since a group of emergency state taxes went out of existence on June 30, the OPS ruled that sellers of beer and wine, cigarettes and gasoline who fail to pass along | the tax saving to the consu- m er will be guilty of ceiling price violations. I in another announcement, this one on the Georgia sales tax, OPS pointQrfi out that the new controls Act provides that the tax must come to one-half cent before it can be passed j along to the consumer. This means, for example, that 15- cent purchases, on which con¬ sumers generally have been paying a one-cent tax since the sales levy went into effect, must henceforth be tax-free — unless sellers who tack on the extra penny want to subject (Continued on back page) Dade Buildings Spruce Dp Get "New Look" For Fall Time marches on, for in the short time of a few weeks, many improvements in the county have been taking place.

Athens, Ga.— Seedless water¬ melons — the kind that are “heart” all the v/ay to the rind are now being grown on an experimental basis at the Uni¬ versity of Georgia and will probably find their way into Georgia gardens within the next few years. Grown on the University farm from seed developed in Japan, the melons have been described by experts as a “horticultural feat.” The University’s seedless wa¬ termelons are the small ice box variety and weigh about 10 pounds each. According to Dr. F. E. Johnstone, head of the University’s horticultural divi¬ sion other seedless varieties growing up to standard size could be developed. A seedless melon is a sterile hybrid and is similar to hybrid corn in that the seeds for planting must be bred every year by hand pollination, Dr. Johnstone said. The melon seed is developed by crossing a plant having twice the ordinary amount of chromosomes with an ordinary-c h r o m o so m e d plant. To date seeds for seedless watermelons have been grown only in Japan and sell for ten cents each. From one to six melons may grow on a single vine. Actually there are seme seed In a “seedless” melon. There may be as many as three or four developed seed in a melon plus a number of undeveloped ones that don’t get in the way of eating. The seedless watermelons growing here are probably the first to be grown in Georgia. They are part of the horticul¬ ture division’s variety planting program. The melons are grown in a field where at least one out of every five plants is an ordinary seeded melon. These plants pro vide pollen for the sterile vines.
