Dade County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME LV STATEP ™ CAL DIGEST The Georgia Genera, Axsem-: bly ends its forty-day 1955 ses- S icn amid a general attitude of harmony and lack of political feu'ing. This of course may be due to the influence which any r -v governor exercises over the first session cf his administia- t; 0 n, but even considering this, there was an unaccustomed: sweetness. These are the highlights | the final week: 1 The State Turnpike Au- thrrity, which was set up a year ago to build toll roads in Georgia has been abolished by te General Assembly. This was one of the Governors campaign ^ plcdges. j 2. The bill of Senator Park-; er of Milledgeville, to require that State employees be paid overtime for more that a forty heur week is not likely to get; ut of committee. Opposition to it come from all sides, and As¬ sistant Welfare Director Phil Cawthon says that it would cost the State over a milion dollars a year at Milledgeville State Hospital alone. 3 The Home passed a bill . that would allow counties to tax ------- state- , | branch banks of large wide banks on the basis of the pveportien of business done in that county. At present, these branches pay only real-estate 4. The Senate passed a luticn endorsing the Bricker, amendment to the Federal Constitution. Ttio cimondTnont • would limit the powers of the 1 Pre ident to make tieaties and agreements with foreign gov- ernments. 5. The highly controversial bill to regulate small loan czm- panics w;is approved by Senate Finance Committee. The bill went to the floor of the Senate this week. Dade Cagers Lose Both the hoys’ and girls’ teams of Dade High suffered defeats Wednesday night at the hands of strong rivals. The girls’ team was playing their first game in the district basketball tournament, where they were defeated by the Chickamauea team. 45-23. Al- though the defeat means that the team will not be playing anv inn’p o-o.mpc in tho tnnrm- ment. , they , w.ll ... play . the . rh Chat- . tanoega Valley team tonight in a non-tournament game The boys team was defeated t J by Dunlap School, 80-56. Ever. though the score was somewhat one-sided, Mr. Delmas Freeman, basketball coach, said the game was not, for in three guarters ’ . tne game, the score was very close and it looked as of Dade would win. f’AiTirn"' c LLfcD MPFTTOr MEfeiiiNG Called Meeting for Trenton Lodge No. 179 Friday, February 18 at 7:30 P.

A lot of hard work and recerd keeping was behind this final public re¬ cognition. There are over 400 4-H Club members in the county divided into six clubs, (one in each school) and a senior club at Rising Fawn. Each member has one or more projects which they work on during the year and a few carry as many as ten. There are 29 different projects available to them. The members work on these prcjects through the year and keep their records. They are as¬ sisted in this by their parents, their local leaders, the Exten¬ sion Office and their 4-H Ad¬ Farm Bureau and Co-op ^Si'S To RCCeiVC SOCHI SfCuHtj Seif-employed farmers are in- eluded under Social Security old Age and Survivors Insur- ance for the first time in his- tory, Louis R. Stein, Jr., t:ld his audience at the annual meeting of the Farm Bureau here Friday, Mr. Stein, the district mana- of the Chattanooga Social ____ j t ecur ffy fj e ] d office, said that under the new law, farmers who j earn as much as $400 a year income from self-employment make payments which will pro- vide coverage upon their death or a ^ reaching age 65. p a rm workers who are paid as much as $100 in a year in wages are a f so be included, Mr. gj. ein t 0 i d t be g r 0 U p. Coverage ^ based u pcn quarters (three mon ths) of the calendar year, be said The s e 1 f - employed, farm operator who earns the required $400 in a year gets four quarters cf coverage. The farm worker gets quarter 1 one of coverage for each $100 he earns in a year. As soon as I either has six quarters of cover- age to his credit for which pay- ment has been made, he is gibi e to receive benefits. The amoun (- 0 f benefits pay- ab i e> be explained, is not based upon length of COV erage, but upon average monthly income. Mr. Stein stressed that persons who have already reached 65 can st benefits i d become if they eligible fulfill to the! re- j ^g^uircniGnts.

Thomas presides The Farm Bureau meeting visors. Because too many have been lax in taking cn the job as advisor, this work has fallen in too many cases on the .’chcol teachers. Much credit must be given to the principals of each school and to the teacehrs who have worked with the 4-H’ers I explaining how to keep the re¬ cords and giving much cf their time in assisting the club mem¬ ber with his or her record book. Record Books Record bcoks are extremely important and count 40G when a mamber is being judged on his project. Though a 4-H'er 1 has selected cne main project ; for the year and is competing ' in that one, the record of the work accomplished on other projects adds to his or her final grade. There are 4-H club scho¬ larships available to the Uni¬ versity of Georgia to the mem- bes and their eligibility is based on their record books. These record bcoks not only contain when the project was started, materials used and their price, progress on the work and final outcome but such other things as offices held in local clubs, trips taken to a district or state meeting, con¬ tests entered and the result, and publicity he or she receives, I newspaper clippings and ether events. 4-H’ers in Dade County en¬ tered 17 of the different pro¬ jects open to them and several won an award in more than one project.
