Due to the ill¬ ness of Solicitor General War¬ ren Aiken, court was postponed until Friday. The judge had the clerk call the Grand Jurors. When they had taken their seat in the box, the judge asked that they come back Friday and he would charge them at that time. He said he knew they had been bp inconveniences and he hoped that the Grand Jury would only have to sit cne day. The Traverse Jurors, who had been called for Tuesday, will meet next Tuesday, December 18. The judge told the deputy to notify each juror of this de¬ lay. Please will be taken, the judge said, on Friday of this week at 1:30. , Judge McClure granted two divorces. One to John Porter on deser.ion of his wife. Eva Holland Porter.

His illness, along with the fact that there is no gym in the county, has spelled mis¬ fortune for the Wildca s. How¬ ever, in Coach Roberts’ ab¬ sence, Travis Montjoy, science instructor, to:k over and has practiced both the boys and girls teams a: every opportu¬ nity. Just what kind of a team Coach Roberts can put on the hardwood this year is still a question mark. The first test is the game with Chattanooga Valley, Flinstone, this Tuesday night. Captain of the team is Merrill Smy h, a guard. Ed Me Clendon, guard, and C. M. Smith, center, are the cnly se- niors on the team. Forwards Tom Mitchum, sophomore, Norris Sims, junior. Three who will be coun ed upon for service are Wayne Harris, a freshman, Lawrence Woodyard and Ray Bobo juniors. Pr spects for the girls’ team are good and will be in next week’s paper. GILBREATH, McCLENDON LEAD GIRLS, BOYS OVER CHATANOOGA VALLEY The Dade High Wildcats swept two games fr:m Cha ta- nooga Valley High Tuesday night at the Tiftonia gym. Jea- nette Gilbreath led the girls to a 36-11 triumph while Ed Me Clendon sparked he boys to a 45-36 win in a free-shooting spree. The girls game was never in doubt after the first quarter as Gilbreath, Shirley Paine, and Peggy Renfroe outclassed the opposiiton in shooting while (Continued on inside page) Published Weekly—Since 1901 DAVIS HIGH YELLOW JACKETS Davis High School may have a lack of high school students this year but it certainly lacks very little in the way of basket¬ ball players. Coach John Thornhill has four boys who %and abou: six feet' two. His Yellow Jackets have won three games and lost two, rolling up 240 points for a nearly 50 point average per game. High scorer on the Sand Mountain five early this week was Nathan Echols with 56 points. He hit his stride against Fyffe with 25 points and Ge¬ raldine High with 17 points. Cl se at his heels is Joe Cham¬ bliss with 55 poin s, getting 16 of them againstCollinsville last week. Other scorers are: Ray Gray, a freshman, 37; Roy Gray, a freshman, 35; Vernon Dunn, a junior, 29; and Bill Jones, a sophomore, 28. Stand¬ out defensive players include Jimmy Stallings and Wayne Eallard. The Yellow Jackets play their home games at Rosalie, Alaba¬ ma, as they have no gym of their own. Thus far in the sea- sin they have defeated Pisgah, Collinsville, and Fyffe and have dropped games to Pisgah and Geraldine. All these teams are from Alabama. Coach Thornhill expresses a desire to play Dade High in Chattanoo¬ ga sometime this season. That game could draw a lot of local interest, being billed as the game to decide the champion¬ ship of Dade.

Due to high costs and to give the little farmer a bet- 'er chance, he said, the pay¬ ments made will be limited to $300 to any one farmer. These will be for cover crops and pasture seeding and fertilizer, He expressed hope that every farm will have at least one acre 0 f pasture, Thie fertilizer, Blible conti- nue d, will be handled by the co-op. Farmers should make plans now for how many acres of pasture they plan to have, he concluded. For further in¬ formation, contact the PMA. Poultry Production Poul ry possibilities in this county was the subject of a talk by Art Moore. Poultry, he said, can be an additional cash income while still carrying on. normal farm operations. Dade cause of good climatic condi¬ tions and a good market in Chattanooga. Commercial egg production, broiler production, and hatching egg production are the phases suitable for 'this county. He recommended that 500 hens be a minimum for anyone going into commercial* egg production. Fred Henderson, insurance man from LaFayette and a leading Walker County broiler grower, told how he got into the broiler business. The broil¬ er business, he contended, is not a sideline. It is a full-time job. “If you’ll put chickens In,” he declared, “and do what they (the feed companies) tell you, you’ll make a reasonable margin of profit... but if you didn’t make a cent on broilers, the chicken liter would be more than worth the effort as fertilizer for the rest of your farm.” Poultry is Science A representative of the Amaco Feed Co., Chattanooga, K. H. Pfifer, told the group that you are in one of the most scientific industries ln the world,’’ having to have a knowledge of chemistry, breed¬ ing and other lines of science. “Don’t go into the business blank.” “It is necessary to map your course before going for finances.” He recommended putting flocks of hens on la- dino and alfalfa for a year, leaving the pasture better than before they went on it. Disease control, Pfifer de¬ clared, might mean complete failure or succes. The manage¬ ment factor is highly impor¬ tant also, he said. He reminded that chickens are creatures of habit and warned producers not to go off their schedules. Your operation should be timed to hit the highest price mar¬ ket. Financing Possibilities Financing of cattle and poul¬ try might be arranged through (Continued on last page) NOTICE In last week’s issue, we reported that the recent sur¬ vey had to be made and ap¬ proved before ANY of the sales tax money could be used in Dade County.
