Devoted to the Best Interests
VOL. 59—32
GLENNings
By way of introduction . . . .
this is the first in a regular
series of personal observations.
Sort of an experiment, designed
to create more interest in The
Times. As your new editor, this
column will be used to pass on
incidents and insights into situa
lions which don’t quite qualify
as news stories.
Your comments, good or bad,
are solicited. If the reaction is
good, the column will continue,
otherwise it shall cease as un-
cerimoniously as it started. For
the goal is to make The Times
your newspaper and increase
your, pride in this—Georgia’s
most beautiful county.

Becoming editor of The Times
is the beginning of the realiza¬
tion of a dream. There are many
things which influenced the de¬
cision to come here. There exists
to the community, the peace
and tranquility of a small town
and on and on. But the final
clinchers came when the sweep¬
ing view of the valley came in
sight from the top of the Look-
our mountain—it was then that
the hope became fervent that
moving here would be possible.
T h e closer came later the
same day after conversations
with civic and business leaders
wno were so eager and sure of
Dade’s future that I more
than ever wanted to become a
part of it.
* * *
Now, while we’ve come ob¬
sessed of a dream—we are not
starry eyed. We know enough
about a newspaper to realize
there will be long hard hours of
work. We know too that the
economic reward shall be small.
But so long as your reaction in¬
dicates we’re doing a good job—
that shall be almost reward
enough. We want you to like
this paper, we want you—and
your neighbor—to read it. You
can help by talking about it. If
its bad talk to us. If its good—
talk to your friends...........

Speaking of lots of work and
not much compensation, It
brings to mind a copy boy I
knew while working on a big
Midwestern newspaper. He went
by the name of “Gizzard” Gar¬
land. Well, “Gizzard” seemed to
have some difficulty living
within his somewhat modest in¬
come. And one day he went to
the boss and asked for a raise.
The boss explained that money
was not the important thing
and that after all a job on that
newspaper did provide a mea¬
sure of prestige.
“Gizzard” pondered a minute
and replied: Yes sir, I know
that and I’m in favor of this
prestige, but you can’t hardly
buy no groceries with it.”

GROSS BURGLARY
GOES UNSOLVED
No Progress Reported
No progress has been report¬
ed in solving last weeks mystery
burglary of the H. E. Gross Mer¬
cantile. C.
Sheriff Allison Blevins told the
Times there was “nothing to re¬
port at this time.”
There were indications that
other recent break-ins in adjoin¬
ing counties were in no way con¬
nected to the crime here.
Taken from the Gross firm
were $25 in cash, watches, rings,
dry goods, hardware and other
merchandise, valued at $6,000.
Mr. Gross says this was only
partly insured.
He found the front door glass
crashed in when he went to the
store Tuesday morning at 7:30
to open for business.
The thieves had attempted to
enter a safe but managed only
to inflict damage. A tear gas
bomb exploded, which is set to
go off when the safe is tamper¬
ed with, apparently driving
away the burglars. The store
still smelled strongly of the gas
the next morning.
Mr. Gross said the break-in
caused but a temporary inter¬
ruption to the routine and the
store was doing business at a
brisk pace shortly after open¬
ing Thursday.
Accompanying Mr. and Mrs.
Gross in their vacation were C.
C. Richie, brother of Mrs. Gross,
and Mrs. Richie of Demopolis,
Ala. and Mrs. O. E. Edwards, a
sister of Mrs. Gross from Pen¬
sacola, Fla.

heaven; hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be
done on earth, as it is in hea¬
ven; Give us this day our daily
bread-; And forgive us our tres¬
passes, as we forgive those who
tiespass against us; And lead us
not into temptation; But deliver
us from evil; For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.

Reserve Sign up Set
For Conservation
Farmers who wish to put crop
land in the Soil Bank’s 1960 Con
servation Reserve must ask the
county ASC committee to set a
basic annual rate per-acre few
< the offered land, John F. Brad¬
ley, Administrative Officer of
the State Agricultural Stabili¬
zation and Conservation Office,
said today. The period for filing
such requests is from August 24
through September 10. No such
request will be accepted after
September 10.
In setting the basic annual
per-acre rate for land offered,
the county committee will take
into consideration the product
of the land and the rate
will be limited to the local fair
rental value of the land based
ton the crops harvested from it
during the past 5 years. When
all the eligible cropland on the
farm is offered for the Conser¬
vation Reserve, the rate will
generally be set 10 percent
(higher than the rate for only
part of the eligible land.
After the basic rate has been
determined, the farmer may
apply for a contract at any fig¬
ure below the basic rate est¬
ablished for the land offered in
the request for rates If neces¬
sary, a priority system will be
used to determine which offers
are accepted.
