CENSUS FIGURES REVEAL
DADE FARM PROGRESS
(Continued from front page)
this five year period, Dade had
the largest increase of the six
extreme northwes ern Georgia
counties—Catoosa, Walker, Gor¬
don, Whitfield, Chattooga, and
Dade, In 1945 there were 2,515
cattle in Dade and in 1950 the
number grew to 3.360 Of these
942 were milk cows.
The population of hogs, horses
and mules has also increased
slnce 1945. Hogs increased from
1,163 to 2,007 and horses and
■»«>«
298 to 393. The sheep population
however, has sharply declined,
being 483 in 1945 and only 170
in 1950.
Poultry, which is currently a
booming industry in Dade, has
not shown a sizable increase in
1950. Chickens, four months old
and over, were repsrfced at 19,-
950 in 1945 and 22,155 in 1950.
From these figures It is evi¬
dent that agriculture, by and
large the leading Industry of
Dade, is making rapid strides
forward, meaning more money
for more Dade countians which'
will mean a better community.

DADE HIGH MEETS
CEDAR GROVE
Dade High will meet Cedar
Gr.ve at Tiftonia gymnasium
Friday night at 7 P. M. The girls
will play first, followed by the
boys varsity game.
The Dade Wildcats, boys, girls
and “B” boys, will journey ,o
Dunlap. Tenn., for three games
next Tuesday evening.
DADE HIGH GIRLS
Considering n o gymnasium
for practicing, the Dade High
School girls basketball team, the
''Wildkittens,” is f exception¬
ally good caliber. Put on an
equal basis wi.h most other high
schools— that is, having a place
to prac.ice— this team could
go a long way.
Due to the change-over in the
high school from three to four
years, there are no seniors on
the team. The girls who would
have been seniors under the
system are now classified as I
juniors, meaning that all the
present team may be expected
back next season.
j The girls have no exception¬
ally tall players but rely on
speed and good ball-handling.
Regular forwards are Jeanette
Gilbreath, a sophomore and
leading scorer so far, Jo Ann
Steele, a junior and an aggres¬
sive player and accurate shot,
and Peggy Renfroe, also a junior
and quick to take advantage of
situations which occur.
Hardly any distinction can be
made between these regulars
and the other forwards who are
all standouts. Christine Simms
a junior, is small but probably
the fastest on the team. Shirley
Paine, a sophomore, is develop¬
ing Into a polished player rapid¬
ly. Joan Craig and Sarah Coch¬
ran are outstanding freshmen
who are playing a lot of ball.
Faye Wheeler a sophomore is
another who can be relied upon
Guards are equally well bal¬
anced. Regulars are Kathryn
Fricks, a junior and a relentless
player on defense. Tallest on the
team Is Faye Turner, a sopho¬
more. Janie Bradford, a junior,
completes the starting team.
Reserves are also strong at the
guard position. Nancy Ginn,
Deris Carver, and Autumn Trox-
tel, all sophomores, and Barbara
Quillian, a freshmen, are valu¬
able players in their own right.
The illness of coach Carl Rob¬
erts added to the bad luck of
the team. He returned only the
week of the first game. However
the team and school were fort¬
unate in having Travis Mont-
joy, science teacher, take ever
and spend so much of his time
and effort in getting both the
boys and girls teams as ready as
conditions allowed.
Next opponent is Cedar
Grove at the Tiftonia gymnas¬
ium Friday night at 7 p. m.
The next game is with Dun¬
lap. Tenn., at Dunlap on Janu¬
ary 8. Dunlap defeated the Dade
girls by a very large score last
year but Dade has a good
chance of turning the tables.
Nervousness at playing on other
courts is the biggest enemy
Dade has. The girls are good
enough to beat anyone if they
overcome this.
