SORRY, WE ARE HAVING
LINOTYPE TROUBLE AGAIN.
Right at the crucial moment,
when we were trying to get all
of this week’s news set, a spring
on the Linotype broke, putting
us in quite a dilemma.
As you can see, Mr. McClure,
our printer, was able to set some
of the copy but the machine
could not make corrections and
there was not time to get the
rest set and have the paper m
the post office before closing
time.
Col. Doug Morrison, who is
president -of the Dade County
Lookout Creek watershed asso¬
ciation has recently received a
report from the State Soil Con¬
servation Committee stating the
request for federal assistance
on the watershed has been ap¬
proved by the committee.
The report further stated that
in the Alabama portion of the
watershed approximately 15 to
20 percent of the needed prac¬
tices have been applied to the
land and that in the rest of the
watershed approximately * 5 0
percent of the land is under
good cover.
Since proper conservation
measures on the land is the key
to successful 'bperation of a wa¬
tershed protection and flood pre¬
vention program the committee
urges that every effort be made
by everyone concerned to get
more conservation on the land.
From time to time the State
Committee will review the dif¬
ferent requests for assistance
and recommend priorities bas¬
ed, to a large extent, on the pro¬
gress made in getting the prop¬
er cover on the land. This is a
job for all and your local Water¬
shed Association officials wi'l
welcome any help or suggestions.
The Dade County Soil Conser¬
vation Service and ASC offices
have moved from the courthouse
to the Theatre building.

from booth sales. This huge a-
mount will be lessened by ex¬
penses, but the amount turned
over to the Methodist Church
will be quite substantial.
Oniy a few of those active in
the booth are Mesdames Inez
Moore, Joan Hawes, Grace Gray,
Beatrice Haygood, Arlie Brad¬
ford and Ann Bradford. They
were assisted by some of the
men in the community, includ¬
ing Harold Moore, Arlie Brad¬
ford, Leonard Gray, J. C. Ab¬
bot, Cecil McKaig and Scott
(fray. Popular opinion was that
the men did a pretty good job

A ounds of meat.
Cider \ en<lor
Mrs. Art Moore, vivacious ven-
dor of her own famous apple
ider, had charge of the cider
. iid ginger-bread booth, assist¬
ed by Mrs. Susie Adkins and
others. The fragrant ginger¬
bread was baked and frozen
during the summer months by
the ladies of the church espe-
t iaily for this occasion.
Mrs. Moore was active in plan-
ning the food booth, the new
barbecue pit, the new parking
of which eased the parking
situation considerably, and the
new jelly booth; and in general
was one of the “sparkplugs” of
the New Salem effort.
The “Plum Nelly Jelly” booth
was first suggested by Mrs.
Moore back in 1955, immediately
after the last clothesline show.
So many visitors asked for home-
canned items when they paused
to buy cider, that Mrs. Moore
decided.to explore the possibili¬
ty of having each lady of the
church can some extra jars of
every type of “sweets or sours”
that she made during the sum¬
mer.
The result was an unusual
booth with great potentialities.
Its catchy name could easily
help build the booth into a year-
round enterprise, worked pos¬
sibly on a mail-order basis.
The articles in the handcraft
booths, especially the one oper¬
ated by Theo Slade and Gene
Ellis, were quite good.
Throughout it all, Miss Men-
nen worked tirelessly to make
the show one of the best. Her
touch was evident everywhere,
from the watered-down roads
to the gaily-painted cider wagon.
She deserves our hearty con¬
gratulations for a fine show,
both from the Dade County
Times and the hundreds of
Dade Countians who visited her
colorful home.

Civil Defense Topic
At R. Fawn P.TA.
Interesting talks on the local
of civil defense were giv¬
by Virgil Jenkins, Director of
Defense in the county, and
Fannilu McWhorter, pub¬
health nurse, at the Tuesday
meeting of the Rising
PTA.
Jenkins outlined the general
advising that it was
duty of every citizen to
to “take care of them¬
He also quoted Presi¬
Eisenhower’s recent state¬
ment that civil defense was now
a “sheer necessity.’’
Miss McWhorter, as head of
the civil defense health service
here k illustrated her talk with
a pester outlining the duties oi
the service, both on state and
county level. The county health
will be conducted as a
of the state division and
will be under the supervision
health personnel in counties
with private physicians and ad¬
visory committees from techni¬
groups, she stated.
“The two major phases of the
are (a) self-help, and
(b) technical assistance,” Miss
said. “Under fie
division comes home
first aid, medical corps,
nurses’ aid courses and train¬
ing of science teachers for lab¬
and x-ray technicians.”
She emphasized that the civil
defense program is for and by
the people.

Bank of Dade
Resources $600,000
George H. Harrison, president
and cashier of the Bank of Dade
in Trenton, has announced that
the bank now lists its total re¬
sources at $600,000.
This amount was built up in
slightly less than nine month;
of operation. The value of this
fast-growing new bank, the first
to be organized here since the
3920’s, may be seen in many
ways. One has only to glance in¬
side its plate glass doors to see
the many customers who keep
Mr. Harrison and the two staff
members busy continuously.
We congratulate the Bank of
Dade for its tremendous service
and its effect on the progress of
Dade County.
