The polio season is here and

so we should be especially care¬
ful since we are so close. To
safeguard the whole
health, the control of flies is
perhaps the most important
measure in polio prevention.
Among the various symptoms
are headache, fever, and pain
in the neck or legs. Dade’s pub¬
lic nurse will furnish further
information upon request. Re¬
member, the lives of your chil¬
dren are at stake and you can’t
be too careful.

steals into the air occasionally,
to remind us that school is
about to begin and the leaves
will soon lose their bright
green. To most boys and girls,
it seems a little premature to
mention classes when they’re
having so much fun on the
creekbank or poking through
the woods in search of black¬
berries and huckleberries.
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. .

On 15-Cent Items 1
Atlanta, August 15—In two
far-reaching announcements at
Was h' n Sf° n , involving Georgia
itaxes, the Office of Price Sta-
bilization has paved the way
f 0r a sav ing by the state’s con-
suming public of an estimated
$20,000,000 to $30,000,000 an-
nually.
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

Seedless Watermelons
Being Grown at Univ.
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.
