P ublish ed Weekly—Since 1901^ Jaycees Plan A big 4th of July celebration was planned at a meeting of the Dade County Junior Chamber of Commerce held Monday night. The meeting was at the Jack Cash’s home and according to’ the members they were served a good steak dinner. .Already lined up for 4th of July fun are two baseball games. Committees were ap¬ pointed for arrangements for Tomato Growers Ass’n Sign up Over 50 Acres A Tomato Growers Associa¬ tion meeting was held Monday night. It was reported growers have signed up to plant between 50 and 60 acres. Those present hoped that more farmers would sign before the final time of planting as, if enough tomatoes can be grown it would make marketing easier. The state agriultural depart¬ ment is backing the project and Extension workers from the University of Georgia are also ready to help. Those who raised tomatoes on a large scale last year found this a profitable product but marketing would have been easier if there had been larger quantities to sell. Bill Pullen was elected this year’s president of the Associa¬ tion, Art E. Moore is the retir¬ ing president.
