The present local chapter of the Bcv* Scouts is about the third attempt at organization. The first troop in Trenton and 'nrcbably Dade County was or- sranized in 1931, with I,. C Spears and Raymond Neville as scoutmasters. Meetings were held in a small cabin at the site of the American Legion home and ! among members at that time w'ere C. E.

At first, the group met Dade High School each day night, later moving quarters down to the Building. At one time, youths were so interested scout activities that 'name ■ were recorded on bership lists. There are at ent only about eight members.

Art Moore 2nd In State Corn Contest At the annual meeting of Georgia 100-Bushel Corn in Athens Friday, Art E. New Salem farmer, was nized as producer of the ;cond highest yield of corn the state. Moore won the ' County Farm ed 1952 contest with 158 shels, while coming up third and fourth were Sells, 117 bushels; Moore, son of Mr. and Art Moore and 4-H 115 bushels; and Harold 100 bushels. Moore, Sells and Moore made up the County delegation with ty Agent L. C. Adams Assistant Agent C. L. The trio of farmers and Three Automobile Accidents The Past Weekend Several accidents occurred over the weekend throughout ; the county, but there were no jscrious injuries reported. Friday afternoon a Plymouth »y Joseph Baty knocked ;OVer one of the gas pumps at the Shell Station, which is lo- j cated at the intersection of Highways 11 and 143. Baty, ac- companied by several boys, was making a left turn there! at a fa5t s P eed and his car skidded on gravels, causing it o ^ fee The pump ^ oup j 1 then droye J Qn t ) thg ' fooj .

S out activities were then carried on in attractive and warm surroundings. One of the most beneficial of drives ca:rkd on by the boys was the old clothing and toy collection which took place just before Christmas last year. The boys solicited either new or old toys which could be repaired and fixed them up on meeting nights. The clothing was mended and pr;s cd by the Girl Scouts, .which are under the leader¬ ship of Mesctames James Ro¬ gers, Granville Pace and Miss Helen Sanders. The girls also :are due a story on their acti¬ vities and these facts will ap¬ pear at a later time. Paper from the drive earlier netted enough money to start a bank account, some of which was used to buy equipment, including ten pup tents. Plans for this summer in¬ clude clearing of a recreation space around the building to take care of a badminton court, hor eshoes, etc. The troop is now battling with the same problem met by earlier groups—lack of a lead¬ Published Weekly — Since 1901 NUMBER 6 raid Cash, who was in New York at that time on were presented gold keys en- graved with t]ieir names, the club name and amount of corn produced. They also received certificates of membership in the Georgia 100 Bushel Corn Club, j. A total of 267 farmers, in- eluding 57 4-H Club boys and girls, were honored for high corn yields throughout the state. A thirteen-year-old 4-H member, Willard Lanier, iof Whitfield County, topped them all with 168 bushels. Third place went to a 4-H girl who rai.ed 158 bushels, but her cost per bushel was .50, where Moore’s expenses per bushel were only .45. I The group of winners were feted at a luncheon given by jthe Cotton Producers’ Associa- tion, and the highest produ- cers, with the county agents from their respective counties, appeared on a television pro- gram which was televised Monday night. Quite a few Dade Countians were able to watch their fellow citizens re¬ ceive such distincton. Dade farmers who received gold-key memberships in the club in the past by making over 100 bushels are A. L. Me Mahan, 141.3 bu., Art Moore, 122.9 bu. and Byron Forester, 115.4, who entered the 1949 contest; and Terrance Moore, winner of the 1951 contest with 129 bushels. the services of a wrecker.

White recently moved out of the county and the others are tied to their jobs, which leads to the consideration that a leader almost has to devote half his time to scout activi¬ ties, and so make it a hobby. To keep the troop organized, the boys need a man who has time enough to make scouting a worth-while activity. The four who started the troop de¬ serve high praise for their work with the scouts, and the scouts themselves have shown excellent qualifications in this service to themselves, their community and their country. The scout motto describes this service as follows: “On my honor I will try to do my best, to do my duty to God and to my country; to obey all scout laws, to help others at all times; to keep myself physic¬ ally strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” The obvious benefit of such an organization in the county need not be pointed out and the value to young men of the following rules is limitless: A Scoiit must be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, cour¬ teous, kind, obedient, cheer¬ ful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. | The Boys Scouts have gone a long way toward this goal al¬ ready; are you willing to help them the rest of the way?
