everyone present.
mailed to the Commissioners
and the budget for the year was
presented and discussed. 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.

Commander Gross brought
back a certificate showing that
the local post had gone over the

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.

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.
