Marvin Griffin and Lt. Gov. Ernest Vandiver took the oath of the offices they will hold for the next four years. The new governor broke a precedent and asked the outgoing head of state, Herman Talmadge, to ad- dress the inauguration crowd, < i did so because it is most unusual for an outgoing Gov- ernor and an incoming gover- n0 r in Georgia to be cn frlend- j y terms,” explained Griffin in b is inaugural address. The new governor pledged himself and his administration to work for cont inu“d improvo- , n&nt in the sta tes, schools, welfare and health. He said he plans to set up a Rural Roads authority to pave thousands of miles o f farm-to-market roads. He asked the members of the General Assembly for their lo- yalty and cooperation in ca: rying out his legislative pro- gram. The retiring Governor Talm- adge’s remarks pointed up die immense progress that has come to Georgia during his te- nu:e of office. Meanwhile, political experts in Atlanta predicted a busy ses¬ sion of the lawmaking body in acting on the measures expected to be introduced by adminsitra- tion forces.

Their purpose would be to raise mo- ney to buy necessary athletic equipment. He pointed out that much of the equipment new in use was badly in need of re- placement and that more would be needed as a safeguard against injuries to players. The dinners will be served on Saturday nights, the first one to be January 22. Tickets will sell for $1.00 for adults and $0.50 for children.

ASC Calls Attention To Important Dates i' Listed PclCAV arc soirvc vevy | important dates fir cotton producers to take into consid o • ration in planning their cotton i crops for 1955. MARCH 15, 1955 is the clos¬ ing date for accepting requests . for 1955 new-grower cotton al¬ lotments. Anyone who did not receive an old-grower cotton allotment for 1955 and plans to plant cotton for the first time since 1951 must file a request per new-grower cotton allot¬ ment with the Dade County ASC Committee. Forms for fil¬ ing these requests are ’available in the local ASC Office. | MARCH 18, 1955 is the clos¬ ing date for accepting requests for reconstitutions.

The average annual salary of classrcom teachers in the Dade school system is $2445.44 as vealed by the study. This figure sal-1 is compared with average aries elsewhere: Georgia aver- age—$2720; U.
