An im¬ portant point brought out was that the counties are sending more free patients to the hos¬ pital than the tax money which they raise and send will pay for. No decision was reached about this at this meeting. Administrator Oscar Hillard’s report to the group told: Tri-County Hospital at Fort Oglethorpe turned away the first patient during February since its opening on Nov. 8,1953. It was reported that there was no room for him. Membership Drive of Legion Post Successful Commander Harold Gross, Woodrow Tinker and Charles T. Sims attended the State Ameri¬ can Legion Convention in Ma¬ con, Georgia. Sunday, at which time the Dade County Post re¬ ceived special recognition for its efforts in the recent member¬ ship drive. Commander Gross brought back a certificate showing that the local post had gone over the top in recruiting new members. Last year at this time only 2o members were enrolled. At the present time, there are 120 members of the American Le¬ gion listed on the books. The official drive is over, but new 0 Tornadoes Cause Red Cross up Quotas All quotas for Dade Ciunty c o m m u n i ties have been in¬ creased because 1955 was a year of disaster in this country. Floods, hurricanes and torna¬ does which struck various parts oi the country with destructive force strained the resources of the Red Cross to the limit. Its budgeted disaster - relief funds are gone, as well as $16,000,000 contributed by the American people after the New England floods last summer. Even the $8,000,000 disaster - reserve fund, which the Red Cross does its best to keep for a really rainy day, ha’ all but disappeared. The money has, of course been well spent. Houses have been provided for people whose homes were swept away in floods or destroyed by hurri¬ canes. Some 11,000 families and small businessmen, left desti- ] tute by flood or storm, are still benefiting from the Red Cross program of long-range rehabil- tation, following the work of volunteers who distributed emer- gency supplies in the hour of disaster. Whitfield County has received $13,000 and Walker County $15,000. The Red Cross must, of course, be prepared for further natural disasters, while at the same time maintaining its blood - donor program, its services to those in the armed forces throughout the world and its multifarious a c t i vities at home, including chores for the families of veterans and ser¬ vicemen. The way Nature has been act¬ ing up recently, it would be im¬ prudent for the American Red Cross to ask for no more than found necessary last year, a tornado should get into our valley think what would happen. Published Weekly—Since 1901 NUMBER 8 The engieers are still working on how lines can be installed for those who have made ap¬ plication in the New Salem and New Home communities and a Cost Study Reading should be ready soon. This study has to be presented to the proper authorities for permission of the expenditure of more funds for the installation of the phone service. To date, the company reports there are 335 telephones on the Trenton board (the Oliver ex¬ change) and 73 on the Rising Fawn which is the Howard ex¬ change. The patient was told to re¬ turn later in the day since sev¬ eral scheduled dismissals were expected. Administrator Oscar Hillard said the patient load of the 110- bed hospital reached an all-time high Monday when 121 persons were accommodated. The pa¬ tient load has been steadily in¬ creasing. He also said the hospital was averaging 180 operations a month. In addition to this 9 per cent of the patients admitted are maternity cases. There are 196 employees at the hospital. Attending from Dade were Ordinary R. M. Morrison, County Attorney M. J. Hale and Board members Mrs. Catherine Mor¬ rison and J. L. Fricks. members are still being sought. All veterans are urged to get in touch with either Gross or Ad¬ jutant Hubert Lacy in order to join. Jakie Smith of- Rising Fawn was the winner of the member¬ ship contest, bringing in 15 new members. Among projects car ried by this live-wire organization has been the installation of plumb¬ ing in the hall. The kitchen has been completed and the heating system almost finished. ASC WOOL PAYMENT IS BASED ON SELLING PRICE Despite the efforts to get de¬ tails of the new wool program to wool growers, reports reach¬ ing the Georgia Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Office indicate that at least a few growers will be disappoint¬ ed when their wool incentive payment is received. The dis¬ appointment will result from failure of the growers to realize the often emphasized point that the size of the incentive pay¬ ment depends on the price re¬ ceived for the wool. With the second wool market¬ ing year under the new pro¬ gram starting April 1, 1956, Mr. James L. Morgan, chairman of the Georgia Agricultural Stabi¬ lization and Conservation Com¬ mittee again points out that the more the grower gets when ne sells his wool the greater will be his incentive payment—the low¬ er the sale price, the smaller the payment. Here’s the way Chair man Morgan explains it. The pay¬ ment will not be determined until the 1955-clip sales records are in. The payment to the grower will be based upon the percentage needed to bring the national average return to wool growers to 62 cents a pound. The words “national average” are significant. So is “percen¬ tage.” If if figures out that 15- percent payment Is needed to bring the national average re¬ turn to 62 cents per pound, the grower will get a payment based on 15 percent of what he re¬ ceived when he sold his wool. It is recognized that the 1955 crop, with few exceptions, has been sold. Nothing can be done about that. But another season is at hand and the new market¬ ing year will begin April 1. It is for that reason that the Chair¬ man emphasizes again “the more you get when you sell your wool” the greater will be your wool payment. March 5, 1956
