If you are a quilter or if you own any fine examples of quilting, or if you own quilt tops that are remin¬ iscent of the old days, we would like to borrow them from you for one day, to hang on the same clothesline with the art I work of this area’s outstanding painters and craftsmen. The patchwork quilt top, as developed by our pioneer an¬ cestors, is said to be the most important contribution that the United States has made to the art of the world. These homely and useful articles are important to you and to me— not alone for their use as bed¬ ding or employment of left¬ over scraps from sewing—but as art forms. Thus the lowly patchwork quilt deserves to be displayed alongside the most advanced output of our artists.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1953 New Jurors New jurors were drawn last Thursday by Judge Freeman C McClure for the continued September term of Superior Court scheduled to reconvene on October 19. Seventy four new jurors were drawn because, according to the law, Judge McClure said, jurors are drawn for separate weeks. The jurors previously drawn for September 28 - 29 will not report for jury duty on October 18 as had been pre¬ viously announced. Solicitor Eearl Self tells us that parties and witnesses scheduled to appear September 28 - 29 will be expected to ap¬ pear in Court October 19 with¬ out further notice or subpoena. Felony cases will start off the docket Monday morning. After these cases have been disposed of, some of the jurors will be excused as not so many are needed for misdemeanor cases. Judge McClure, while in Tren ton, explained that, according to law, when an applicant un¬ der indictment for murder re- quests a bond be set for him, only a Superior Court Judge can authorize this bond. Cir¬ cumstances alter oases, Judge McClure said, and when re¬ quested he had set a $1000 Kaltie Fricks State Clothing Champ Announcement was made last Thursday night that Kath¬ ryn Fricks had been selected as state winner in clothing achievement at the State 4-H Congress held in the Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta.

Attendance is starting off good in all schools. New Salem is again leading with 997 , attendance and again the Hooker Colored School is pushing the white schools with 98.107r. Besides being of benefit to the children to go to school, the amount of money Dade County receives from the state to run the schools is based on the average daily attendance. In other words, when a child is absent from school, that subtracts from the mo¬ ney the state will appropriate for the schools in this county.

The cattle eat about three tons of feed a month, and are depending heavily on feed now, since pastures are especially dry at this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Sells consider dairying an enjoyable and pro- fitable experience, but very jthey confining. Working together, need no outside help, but expect to receive bettr dividns from th dairy in the years to come. Like any other business, it takes several years for the profit to catch up with the in- j vestment, but the Sells’ happy .faces prove that their little is indeed worthwhile.
