Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME LVIII Dade To 6 At If a n specially called ..1U/4 last Thursday night of all those (interested in the Dade County High School, the group agreed there was a need to improve the school grounds and will invest! gate ways and means. The meeting was conducted by Rev. J. o. Stewart who gave an enthusiastic and inspiring talk on trying to give our children 'the proper enviroment in which to grow and their need to be proud of their parents, their home, their church, their school an their community. He spoke of the need of improving the safety factor involved on the school grounds. He said there were no public funds available but the ineed for safe and adequate phy¬ sical education and recreational areas to be set apart for differ¬ ent age children and activities was urgent. He spoke of the children's need for beautiful school grounds. He called on Joe Lee Tatum, president of the P. T. A., to tell what their group was planning toward this end. Mr. Tatum said they were working on the parking problem. They were planning a horseshoe shaped road past the elementary build¬ ing and back to the road. This would have parking on only the left side and a parking area bet¬ ween the new building and School Street was planned. They toad not reached any definite cost figure but it would take at least $3000. for gravel plus a lot of work. To start them off, the P. T. A. was having a Box Sup¬ per on Nov. 8 . Kenneth Vann, Soil Conserva¬ tion Soil Technician was called on next. He said, from the brief survey he had made, that in order to stop erosion and the water standing in the lower areas, broadfaced and shallow ditches could be made and the bank given a new shaping to allow for the drainage problem. Supt. of Schools Roy W. Moore spoke on the need for stands at the football field so that spect¬ ators would be able to see. He said there were no state funds available for landscaping and improving a school campus and that in Dade the student body had grown so much that there was already a need for 12 more class rooms. In his talk, Mr. M!oore did say that there was between $160o and $1700 in a special gym fund still unused. Virgil Jenkins, County Treas¬ urer, spoke of the need for fenc¬ ing the football area and also the playground for the the very small childern. A. L. Dyer spoke on the overall picture in which he said Dade should have a gym. The school should complete their athletic program as it is good for the | children who participate in it. We can’t expect to continue to have have good good teams, teams, he he said, said, unless unless ( we have the prop«- equipment for the children. This is a big program, he concluded, but it can be carried through if people throughout the entire county are interested and willing to help. Principal D. O. Chumley spoke of the fine equipment in many of the departments in the school, j He felt the school was doing a good Job for better living in every program except the beaut¬ ification of the school campus. This would help the students to Devoted to the Best Interests oi Dade County and Georgia.

In order to raise such 4 large sum of money as might be need¬ ed, State Representative W.

Adams The benefits of adding liming materials to our agricultural soils has been known for centur¬ ies. The present generation of farmers has probably been lulled into a false sense of security re¬ garding the real needs of adding lime to the soil. Modern sales talk of “non-acid-forming ma¬ terial” 0 r “non-acid-forming fertilizer” has led many farmers to believe there is no need for lime. It is estimated that crop re¬ moval, erosion and leaching, ac¬ count for 90-95 percent of the (total lime loss in the State, while all acid-forming fertili¬ zers and insecticides account for only 5-10 percent.
