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.

Tenn<> Friday, January 4 f r a game wlth south Pltl sburg. The lwo t eams me t j n December h Next Tuesday the Yellow Jackets will again invade the volunteer state, this time going, to Jasper, Tenn., to meet that team. 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. DADE SCHEDULE These games remain on the Dade High basketball schedule: January 4 — Cedar Grove at Tiftonia.
