S. A. Pro¬ clamation by Gov. Ernest Van¬ diver, special programs over the state were set off. Charles S.

Vandiver’s proclamation fol lowed a similar one signed by President Eisenhower setting aside the first of May as a day THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1959 Directly in back of the Legion Hall, various members of the Lions Club dispensed coffee and orangeade and not far away was the Coca Cola stand. On the north edge of the grounds two flat bed trucks made a stage for the entertain¬ ment. These were gaily decorat¬ ed in red, white and blue bunt¬ ing. Students from the schools gave performances during the afternoon and this included several members from a com¬ bined Dade County School Sys¬ tem Eand. All during the day recorded music came from loud speakers which had been placed around the grounds. At the table where tickets were bought for the barbecue were the new Lions Club bro¬ chures on Dade County which were given out free. Also for sale at this table were the re¬ productions of an old book be¬ longing to Mr. W. P. Cole about New England City at the turn of the century. At 6 o’clock Lions Club offi¬ cials, special guests and speak¬ ers were on the platform. This part of the program was open- for “paying tribute to the rule of law between men.” Law Day U. S. A. was initiated last year to dramatize the con¬ trast between the American con cept of freedom and justice un¬ der law, and the suppression of individual freedom under com¬ munism. “May Day” in Moscow is traditionally a date on which the communist world flaunts its military might, symbol of its philosophy of rule through force and fear. “In the United States, May 1st now has become a day for a demonstration of a dif¬ ferent sort, in which the people may reaffirm their faith in the rule of law as the best safe¬ guard of human freedom and dignity.” Heard explained. Here is the suggested four- point Law Day pledge, approved by President Eisenhower. I will respect and obey the laws; I will asist public officials in preventing crime; I will help the court in giving evidence;- I will serve on a jury when asked. ed by the playing of our nat¬ ional anthem, The Star Spang¬ led Banner. After which Lions Ciub President L. C. Adams gave a brief review of the work done by the club during its 25 years existance. Dade’s State Repre¬ sentative Maddox Hale followed him and introduced Judge J. M. C. (Red) Townsend from the Georgia Court of Appeals. Judge Townsend spoke of the progress the county has made through the years and what the future does and can hold for us, before introducing Georgia’s Treasurer George B. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton spoke of our glori ous southern heritage tying it in with Confederate Memorial Day which was to be celebrated the following Monday. As the Lions Club Barbecue came to an end, more people began gathering for the Record Hop and Charleston contest to be held that evening in the Legion Hall. Sheriffs Report Sunday before last there was a three car accident south of Morganville. A car had slowed up, the driver said, to avoid hit¬ ting a hole in the road too hard. The two cars behind him also slowed down but a third car hit the last car giving it enough push to hit the car in front. However, only the last car was damaged badly and State Troop ers charged the driver with driving too close. Last Saturday night a car went over the bluff at the cut on top of Lookout Mountain State Troopers reported the car had been reported to them from Summerville as b ei n g stolen. No one appeared to be around the scene before and during the investigation. Also on Saturday night Mrs. Polly Rains Underwood report¬ ed Brent Baty had run into the back of her car. She appeared to be hurt and was taken to the hospital. Baty was charged with Hit and Run and Driving while Drunk. When the Sheriff served the papers on him he was again charged with Driving While Drunk but he jumped out and ran off. Tuesday a Tennessee transfer truck went into a ditch. The driver claimed that he hit a hole in the hi g h w a y which caused his tire to blow out and throw the truck off the road. No one was hurt. WHEAT ALLOTMENTS A farmer who has wheat planted in excess of his 1959 wheat acreage allotmnet may dispose of the extra acres up until May 24, 1959, and it pro¬ bably will increase his wheat allotment in the future if he does so, according to a reminder from Mr. Grady McKaig of the Dade County Agricultural Stab¬ ilization and Conservation Com¬ mittee. A major factor in determin¬ ing farm wheat allotments is the history of wheat grown pre¬ viously on the farm. The farmer who complies with his allot- ment gets “history” credit not cnly for the allotment planted but also for his “diverted” acres, Published Weekly—Since 1901 <*,W . ' • .. awXv.v. •»:'•>>!

There is another type of sit¬ uation in which the producer exceeds his wheat allotment but produces no marketing excess. This may occur on farms where: i(l) the total wheat acreage is 15 acres or less; (2) the normal production of the wheat acreage is under 200 bushels; (3) the 1959 yield is so low that no excess is produced; or (4) the farm has been approved for the produc¬ tion of up to 30 acres of wheat for use on the farm under the feed wheat program. In those circumstances, the farmer gets credit only for the allotment, not for diverted acres.
