A. Ellis, Sr., C. W. Gray as City
Recorder and R. O. Chitwood, W.
R. Tatum, J. E. Morrison and
C. E. Kyzer as the City Council.
The past year’s report was dis¬
cussed with a view to what to
work for in 1958 when money
became available. Customer’s
payment of water bills seemed
to be the number one problem
as it is important that everyone
pay their water bills in order?
to maintain the water system
and to pay off the notes. It was
agreed that .more strictness
should be used in this matter
and that customer’s water would
be cut off, after due notice had
been given, for non-payment of
their water rent the same as is

WhetzeO’s Service
Station Robbed Mon.
Whetzell’s Service Station, on
Sand Mountain, was broken into
and robbed of eight tires and a
case of oil Monday night. The
Sheriff, accompanied by the
owner, E. T. Whetzell, found
the entire loot in a field across
the border in Alabama and all
was returned. No arrests were
made and investigation is con¬
tinuing.
Sheriff Allison Blevins reports
the recovery of a stolen car last
Thursday. Clarence R. Davis in
Chattanooga reported his car
stolen at 2 P. M. and at 3:30
Sheriff Blevins picked it up
being driven by a Negro, Robert
Lee Tate. Tate was turned over
to the F. B. I. and taken to
Rome.
One morning last week the
sheriff was called to investigate
an accident caused by a mule
near Long’s Store nqrth of Ris¬
ing Fawn. Owned by Harold Cox,
the mule had just gotten out of
the pasture when a Birmingham
motorist struck the animal. The
windshield of his car was broken,
the driver was uninjured but the
mules received some skinned
places, according to reports.
On Jan. 1 at about 5 A. M. a
car traveling just north of New
England went off the highway
and killed 14 month old Patricia
Allen, injured her mother and
grandmother, who are still
the hospital and her grand¬
father, who it is reported was
driving was badly cut up. The
families had been visiting in Ala.

Cole City Fire
Takes 20 Acres
A fire believed to be set by
children playing with matches
burned off about 20 acres in the
Cole City section Sunday, Forest
Ranger Dan Hall has reported.
The fire area was near several
houses and barns, but no dam¬
age was done to the buildings.
Several residents were trying
to get the blaze under control
by the time the ranger and his
crew arrived. A ring was immed¬
iately plowed around some small
barns and more concentrated
efforts were then made to ex¬
tinguish the flames.
Persons who are interested in
placing their cotton allotments
in the soil bank are requested to
call by the ASC Office and sign
their agreements if a soil bank
has been established for the
farm. If a soil bank base has not
been established for the farm
this should be done at once
since an agreement cannot be
signed until the soil bank base
has been approved for the farm.
The closing date for signing an
agreement is March 7, 1958.
The rates to be charged for
premeasurement of cotton, pea¬
nuts or cotton acreage reserve
are $5.00 per farm plus 40 cents
per acre for the acreage to be
premeasured plus $1.00 for each
field subdivision in excess of 3.^
If two or more of these crops or
land uses are premeasured at
the same time, only one per
farm charge will be made.

As to the general improve¬
ments for the city, many came
under discussion to be accomp¬
lished as the city tax money
comes in. Improvements of the
City Fire Department topped the
list with upkeep of the city
streets and more city lighting
being hoped for. Putting up
gigns with the names of the
streets was another improve¬
ment the city hopes it can
accomplish.
Parking on Court House
Square, which had come under
discussion at many of the pre¬
vious meetings, again came
before the Council, but as yet
there is no money to lay out
the area for less congested park¬
ing.
third place. It was voted that
next year the Club of the Year
would be selected by a point)
system and a committee was
appointed to work out the de¬
tails. Mrs. W. C. Cureton was
named chairman of a commit¬
tee for the Club of the Year
Banquet.
Tea was served at the home
of the Misses Cureton to the 24
members present. The ladies en¬
joyed seeing the family antiques
throughout the house, which
Miss Cureton so graciously
showed them.

established closing dates for ac¬
cepting applications for New-
Grower Allotments as follows:
Cotton—March 1, 1958
Peanuts—February 15, 1958
Tobacco—February 15, 1958

urged to check at the county
ASC Office as to his eligibility
requirements if he is interested
in growing any of these com¬
modities and does not have an

vation Cost-Sharing is now
under way in Dade County. The

his request during this initial
sign-up to insure consideration
while there are funds still avail¬
able. A request may be filed at
any time prior to the start of
performance on a practice, but
if a late request is filed it may
have to “take a back seat” be¬

up have received most of the
funds available for the county.

sharing may be requested in¬
clude: Permanent Cover, Cover

ture or hay land, Ripping non¬
crop pasture, Wells for lives-
stock, Pipelines for livestock
