Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME LVI in R. R. Accident Mr. Mr. F. F. W. W. Hate Hate 52, 52, of of Rome, Rome, Georgia, a district manager for the Beneficial Standard Life Insurance Company i n Rome, suffered four broken ribs and possible internal injuries when his car was hit by a North bound freight train Tuesday afternoon. The accident occured at the crossing near Hitt’s store in Rising Fawn. Mr. Walter Wilson, an eye¬ witness, was stopped on the West side of the tracks waiting for the train to pass, when Hale approached the tracks from the opposite side. The view is not blocked at this point. The victim reportedly said he saw the train, but thought there was only one set of tracks and could make it across. Hale was thrown from the car and land¬ ed between the rails of the side track. The two front fenders and the radiator of the car were knock¬ i ed off at the crossing. Insur¬ ance pamplets, cards, bits of paper and glass were scattered all over the tracks to where the front seat fell a few yards from I ! the crossing. The motor was knocked off and fell a few feet from the 1950 model car, which was dragged about 140 yards before leaving the train. Engineer C. W. Rose, from Easter Seal for Children L. C. ADAMS Many Dade County Families received E a st e r Seals in last week’s mail. The Easter Seal Drive is a Nation-wide program Agronomy Meeting Held 16th in Courthouse Some 30 to 35 farmers met in the Courtroom in Trenton on Friday, March 15th for the pjjr- pose of attending an Short Course. This meeting was conducted by County Agent L. C. Adams. Agronomist from the University of Georgia gave in- structions on the latest methods of production on corn, cotton, pasture, Alfalfa and grain sor¬ .ghum. Mr. W. H. Sell was first on the program. He gave in- struction for pasture production giving information on types of pasture plants for permanent and temporary grazing and management of the pasture pro- gram. Mr. J. Frank McGill, Ag- ronomist, gave the group the latest information on Alfalfa, Grain Sorghum and Corn pro¬ duction, naming the approved varieties of each and giving full information on the best methods of production. Mr. Sell, Agrono¬ mist, conducted a session on cotton production. A large per- Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention People in watersheds, whether j on farms or in town, may have and its management, which they cannot handle with their j resources. Recognizing this, Congress passed a special act in 1954 to help local organizations with such problems. It is the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law 566, 83rd Congress). This is how it works: Following are answers to questions which are constantly being asked the Soil Technician about the program; The Application (already completed for Dade Co.) 1. The Neted. First of all it must be recognized that there is a water management problem which can be solved only by all the people working together. And the local people must be willing and able to spend time and money toward solving the problem. 2. Preparing A p p 1 ication. A local organization, which may ( be a soil conservation district, ** 4dt €mnti fitnes Birmingham, Birmingham, Ala. Ala. timed timed the the ac- ac¬ cident at 2:10 p. m. The train traveled about a quarter of a ! mile before coming to a stop. I Mrs. Haley Dean, said she was j standing beside the tracks hold¬ : ing a sack of eggs, when the car was hit and she “threw the sack down and ran to him,” and when she saw he was too pain¬ fully hurt to be moved she went to her home near the tracks and brought quilts to wrap him in. A Moore ambulance from Tren- took the injured man to a Fort Payne hospital. Second Wreck at Rising Fawn A second wreck this week at Rising Fawn resulted in slight injury to Mrs. Robert Stewart who was traveling with her Airman husband from Kelley Air Base in San Antonio, Texas, to their home in Baltimore, Md. Stewart was driving, and it is reported she lost control of the car as they were driving down the hill near the Gearrin home north of Rising Fawn. Mrs. Stewart fell out of the car as it went through a fence and crossed, a pasture, coming to a stop about 75 yards off the She suffered a bad cut to her left hand, minor cuts and bruises. Her husband was not hurt. Mrs. Stewart was ta¬ ken to the Trenton Clinic for treatment. for assistance to crippled child¬ ren and adults.

You are not being asked for a large contribution and you will not be solicited by any means other than the letter you received. We know that you will be generous and answer with a check at an early date. The quota for Dade County is $200.00. centage of the farmers present were interested in this phase of agriculture, some of them relat- ing their problems and experi- ences in cotton farming. Mr. Jim Berjeux, Agronomist, gave the group information on how to j read their soil reports and on the amounts of fertilizer requir ed for different crops. This type of meeting is thought to be of service to more loctl farmers than if the short courses were held outside the county, Information of this type is very valuable since it is based on ac- tual tests that are made at Ex¬ periment Stations in Georgia. square DANCE AT j EG jqjvj jjALL There will be a square dance for members only at the Amer¬ ican Legion Hall each Saturday night at 8:30.

Three jurors were excused and after 22 had been seated they retired to elect their foreman, clerk and baliff. When they re- turned W. H. Pullen was sworn in as foreman, Jim Jenkins as bailiff and John Tatum act as clerk. Judge Davis explained that there was not enough civil busi- ness for the Traverse Jury to be called at this time but they would convene in two weeks on April 2. The Judge charged the Grand Jury that there shall be not less than T8 nor more than 23 mem- bers present to hear offenses.! At least 12 members most vote in the affirmative to find a True or no Bill. The Jury must r e-member that as they only hear one side of a case there must be sufficient evidence pre-! sented to make an indictment, The guilty must be punished but on the other hand the in- nocent must be protected. The deliberations are surrounded by law and the Solicitor General is t h e legal advisor, though the foreman may act when neces¬ sary. “Use your discression, fol¬ low the dictates of your con- science and the oath which you have just taken”, the Judge told them. He further charged they pay special attention to the gaming laws, narcotic offenses, the car- rying Of guns, disturbing public worship and that they may public! in- spect the jail and other buildings and investigate how. the public offices are being conducted. It is the proper fun- ction of the Grand Jury, the Judge concluded, to perform the duties with confidence, justice, and fair dealings for all.
