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

plant both inside and out, he
said.
In order to raise such 4 large
sum of money as might be need¬
ed, State Representative W. J-
Hale was asked if he would look
into the legal aspects of form¬
ing an organization with a
charter and which would have
(authority to get to work on de¬
finite plans and costs.
A temporary committee was
named with Mr. Dyer as Chair¬
man. The next meeting was set
for Nov. 8 and will again be an
open meeting but several people
from all parts of the county
were named to 'be contacted to
request them to make a special
effort to be present. This date is
also a P. T. A. meeting night
and it is hoped many will be
present to help.
Farmers Need To
Use More Lime
By L. C. 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. A sound lim¬
ing program based on a soil test
is necessary, and Is the only way
to insure good crop yields. Lim-
