-
The growth of the Bank of
Dade has been steady and rapid.
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.

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

have been shorn after January 1,
1955 and lambs must never have
been shorn.
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.

Jaycette Car Wash
Brings In $73.50
When the last car rolled away
Saturday from the Jaycette-
sponsored Car Wash, the cash
box held la total of $73.50, and
the empty lot showed signs of a-
nother successful first fo r Dade
County---the first car wash ev¬
er sponsored here by a woman’s
groupe. 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. Other members
who washed, rinsed and dried
from nine in the morning until
six in the afternoon without a
break except for lunch were
Mesdames Martha Taylor, vice-
president; Myrna MJcMahan, pre¬
sident; Ellen Dyer, secretary;
Christine Bradford, Jerry Gross,
■and Charlotte Cash, directors;
Patsy McKaig, Nell Whited, Bet¬
ty Rogers and De Lois Bradford.
Assisted by comely Miss Nan¬
cy Parker, the groupe distributed
courtesy gifts to tourist and lo¬
cal people and also served free
refreshments. Local concerns
who very generously donated for
the occasion are as follows:

ease, stationed at the Eugene
Talmadge Memorial Hospital in.
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.

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.
Everyone was unged to take ad¬
vantage of the instruction sheets
being distributed by County Di¬
rector Virgil Jenkins, which in¬
cludes “grandma’s pantry”, a se
ven day food supply and a first
aid kit which should be kept on
hand at all times. Also it advis¬
es all car owners to keep ia half
tank of gasoline on hand at all
times. These precautiins are in¬
cluded in other leaflets, such as
the one on tornadoes which was
given out at the meeting.
During Mr. Cauble’s talk, he
spoke of a community first-aid
chest costing approximately $150
which could be purchased by one
or more clubs and used in emer¬
gencies.
The meeting was held in con¬
nection with the nation-wide
“Operation Alert” to test civil de¬
fense organizations throught the
United States. Later this year,
a second alert will be held with
actual evacuatiin.
Col. Wilkie S. Burt, deputy
marshall of Hamilton County,
was present and mentioned the
new evacuation route signs
which were recently put up in
Chattanooga, also telling how ra¬
dio Cinelrad would go into effect
in the event of an enemy attack.
