At the end of their first year in business they were able to de¬ clare a dividend to the stockhold¬ ers. From the original two working in the Bank when it op¬ ened, they now employ five work¬ ers. The Bank is a Federal, State. County, and City Depository. It is a member of the Federal De¬ posit Insurance Corp. which in¬ sures each (account up to $10,000. George H. Harrison is President and D.

Column Incentive payment rates for shorn wool under the 1956 pro¬ gram amount to 40 percent of the dollar returns each produc¬ er received for his wool, accord¬ ing to Grady McKaig, Chairman, Dade County Agriculture Sta¬ bilization and Conservation Com¬ mittee. This means that for every $100 received by the pro¬ ' ducer from the sale of shorn wool, a payment of $40 will be made. The method of payment calculation results in the grower who receives the price for his wool being eligible for a larger incentive payment than the grower who gets a lower price for the same quality and quanti¬ ty of wool. Mr. McKaig also explained that the payment rate on sales of unshorn lambs, to compensate for the wool on them, will be 71 cents per hundredweight of live animals sold. No payments will be made on mohair dur¬ ing the 1956 marketing year be¬ cause the mohair price received by producers averaged 84.4 cents per pound, which is well above the 70 cents per pound incentive payment set by the U. S. Depart¬ ment of Agriculture. The shorn wool payment rate was determined in the basis of the average price producers re¬ ceived for shorn wool during 19- 56, according to prices reported by farmers in their applications for payment. Dade County ASC Office has made payments amounting to $581.27. The applications for payments must have been filed with the ASC Office by April 30. The payments were made on shorn wool and lambs marketed only between April 1, 1956 and March 31, 1956. To be eligible for payments, the wool must Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia.

The wool programs for 1956 and 1957 are substantially the same, the Chairman said, but, here is a change from the 1955 program in the lamb payment method. Under the 1956 prog¬ ram, each producer who owned lambs for 30 days or longer and sold them unshorn is eligible for a payment. Under the 1955 pro¬ gram, the entire payment was made to the last owner who sold the lambs for slaughter. The 1956 and 1957 lamb payments will be shared by the producers or feeder owners who held the lambs over 30 days on the basis of the gain in weight during each ownership. Mr. McKaig points out that the incentive price for the 1957 mar¬ keting year is being continued at 62 cents per pound grease basis. The payment rates for the 1957 program will be determined in mid-1958 when the average wool price on 1957 marketings become known. Deductions of 1 cent per pound from shorn wool .payments and 5 cents per hundred pounds of liveweight from unshorn lamb payments will be made for the advertising, promotion, and re¬ lated market development activ¬ ities on wool and lambs. The deductions were approved in 1955 in a producers referendum. CORRECTION Last week’s paper stated Grady Long was stealing corn when he was shot.

The twelve weary Jay- cettes who suffered cuts from fancy, ch r ome-plated grills and ;rogh hands from scrubbing white-walled tires agreed that although the work was hard, this would not be the last car wash. Mrs. Jessie Chitwood, treasure, is certain that every ca r in Dade County is equipped with white side-walls, while Mrs. Juanita Hadden, who was in charge of cleaning the interiors, believes the ’57 models were designed just to plague people like herself, for .floorboards are dropped and there is no handy way to sweep out the dirt.

Augusta. For many years he was at the Battey T. B. Hospital in Rome having been in charge at the time of the move from Alto to Biattey. He spoke highly of the new miracle drugs for T. B., and the many other diseases saying they can not only cure but can prevent the disease if the people would only realize the need for check ups and immuni¬ zations. He spoke of the prog¬ ress the Health Department has made over the years in their ed¬ ucational program on health safety and the work still to be done.

NUMBER 24 Valdosta, Macon, Auigusta, Brun¬ swick and Savannah,” Cauble stated, “and ofcourse C h a 11 a- nooga, Tennessee is the closest target as far as Dade County is concerned.” He spoke of the new H-Bomb which would cause dam¬ age and a few deaths as far away as Trenton if Chattanooga were bombed, and said that radiation fall-out and the handling of e- vacuees would be the county's main problems. To c o u n ti e s which tare well organied and ap¬ proved by the state office, there is Army surplus equipment such as tractors and bulldozers avail¬ able which would be of great aid in clearing away debris and could be used for other purposes The “Matched funds” system is in use for approved civil defense groups desiring fire trucks and other equipment.
