W. R. NEEL TELLS CITIZENS
MONEY SET UP FOR BUILDING
PORTION OF SHOAL CREEK
AND NACOOCHEE ROADS
At a dinner given Hon. W. R. Neel,
assistant director state highway de¬
partment, at Clifford Alien’s Tourist
Court July 4, where some thirty-odd
prominent citizens attended, Mr. Neel
stated that the budget commission
set up the money July 3 to build
four or five miles of the Shoal Creek
road and a like mileage on the Na
coochee-Clarkesville road.
He would not commit himself as
to when contracts would be let, but
did state that records showed it took
from 8 to 13 months from the time
order was given for survey.
It will only require three or four
days to complete the survey on the
Shoal Creek road, and a surveying
crew has been on the Nacoochee
Clarkesville road for a few weeks.
After this right-of-ways must be se¬
cured, estimates made and plans
drawn and then inspected and ac¬
cepted by the Public Roads Adminis¬
tration before a contract can be let.
A1 ft this requires much time, but Mr.
Nedl gave his assurance that he
-would see that work was expedited
as fast as possible. the Shoal
Mr. Neel drove over
Creek road with 0. W. Turner and
Charlie Abernathy and others and on
the N-acoochee-Clarkesville road to
Mauldin creek while here.
He also stated that a contract
would be let before long on the north
side of Neel Gap and one on the
south side' later.
During his speech he brought forth
a spontaneous approval of enacting
into law a constitutional highway
board, divorced from politics, so that
long range highway planning could
be instituted, which would not be in¬
terrupted when a new governor takes
office.
H. G. Spahr, former secretary
treasurer of the state highway board,
served graciously as toastmaster.
Thos. F. Underwood gave the wel¬
come address. Several made short

Mr. Neel stated that he
mediately go into completion of the
street work in Cleveland.

Don’t you tmink White county
needs an airport? Well, then get
right on Ollie Turner to locate a
site.
Advertising in The Courier pulls,
encourages, and even persuades peo¬
ple to buy. People read the ads in
The Courier as an aid, reads it with
discrimination and draws conclusions
from what is said. If the merchants
want to make Cleveland a trade cen¬
ter, then they must advertise regu¬
larly in The Courier. Don’t forget
that a live, wide-awake town is one
where the local merchants advertise
regularly in their local newspaper. Cleve¬
Don’t the local merchants want
land to be a live, wide-awake town?
Advertising in The Courier will make
the cash register ring.
The business outlook for Cleveland
this fall looks much blighter than
was predicted some months ago. The
recession period seems now over for
our crop outlook is most promising
and the cash payment of World War
II veterans terminal leave bonds will
bring in a lot of cash not anticipated.
It now seems certain that this un¬
foreseen cash will be flowing by Sep¬
tember 1.
The floods in the West will mean
that our farmers will receive a good
price for corn and other products.
Too, if highway contracts can be let
it will give more employment. So it
all adds up that White County can
expect more cash than in 1946.
There is one divorce for every
three marriages in the United States.
Encyclopedia Britannica Yearbook
predicts one divorce for every two
marriages in the U. S. by 1957. Can
America survive with one divorce for
every two marriages?
The United States is losing around
500,000 acres of farmland through
erosion every year, according to H.
H. Bennett, chief of the Soil Conser¬
vation Service. It seems unreasonable
for the Senate not to give ample
money to carry on this wonderful
service. Senator Russell is waging a
strong fight. The farmers should re¬
member him next year.
Speaking of the eeffectiveness of
advertising in The Courier and how
widely it is read, Wiley Nix tells us
that he received an inquiry from
California about the car he adver¬
tised for sale. The Courier will find
you a buyer if it can be sold.
Did you know that H. G. Spahr is
one of the three authors of the law
creating the Georgia Forestry de¬
partment? This bill was drawn in
the old Henderson Hotel in Cleve¬
land. H. G. is a very valuable man.
Use him at every opportunity.
Russia is spending $1,266,000,000
this year for military research, a
large portion of it on guided missiles.
She has more than 500 German sci¬
entists working. U. S., too, is pour¬
ing barrels of money into military
research. So we are in a war to see
who can get there “first.”
In the last issue of The Courier
we stated that Dr. H. H. Bennett, di¬
rector of the Soil Conservation Serv¬
ice, Washington, D. C., would be ex¬
tended an invitation to visit White
County before so very long.
The reason for asking Dr. Bennett
to come to White County is that our
farmers have joined in this program
in such a magnificent manner that
White County stands head of the list
of counties in the United States in
its participation of the wonderful pro¬
gram.
Gus York will prepare a program
for the gala occasion and every ef¬
fort will be put forth to give Dr.
Bennett’s visit a most pleasant and
enjoyable one. Russell will be
Senator Richard B.
asked to personally extend the invi¬
tation within a few days.
The visit of Hon. and Mrs. W. R.
Neel to Cleveland on July 4 will be
worth incalculable dollars to White
County. W. R. can be depended upon
to do what he can for us. It will be
well for the Women’s Club to confer
with him on the beautification pro¬
gram they have for Cleveland.
How many people passed through
White County during the holidays
and over the weekend? If we had
had enough places for them to sleep
they would have left lots of money
here. Get ready for them next sum¬
mer.
Democratic leaders now
that the 1948 election will bring

true then President Truman stands
good chance to be elected. The rent

MAKING THE BEST USE
OF YOUR FREEZER LOCKER
The “John Doe” family has food
fit for a King! They’ve put these
facts to use:
You can store between 150 to 300
lbs. of meat in the average locker
depending on the shape of the pieces
and how well they pack. Whole tur¬
keys and chickens take up more space
than flat pieces. You can store more
square round or rectangular packages than
ones. If you pack in round con¬
tainers, capacity is reduced almost
one-half.
People who use their lockers moist
efficiently keep them full the year
'round. Rather than putting food irt
twice a year these, economy-minded
patrons consider what kinds of foods
should be placed in the locker, and
they pack the locker to save space. ‘ 1
Adding ... to your locker as other food
is removed will give you economy
and efficiency.
The actual food needs of your fam¬
ily are major importance irt planning
the use of your locker spa.ee. You’ll
want to have an idea of the amount
to freeze for the space available. You
can map out the dates when certain
foods should be frozen.
Without a plan, your locker may he
quickly filled with the first products
of the season. A good crop of late
vegetables and fruit—and no room
for them in your locker-—will be a
disappointment. It’s wiser to plan in
advance than to be disappointed later.
Your community frozen food lock¬
er plant, with its varied services and
skills, makes it possible to slaughter
in any season, rather th;tn just dur¬
ing the months when outdoor tem¬
peratures are favorably low. Remem¬
ber this, when you plan, so that jrwsr
locker won’t be filled with meat when
it’s time for vegetables and vice versa.
Neighbors can take turns in slaught¬
ering animals and in dividing 1 the
carcasses among several farnilie;; for
locker storage.
The services and facilities at .your
locker plant are valuable to you. The
locker plant can supply you with
packaging material. You can use it
for auxiliary frozen storage. If you
have a home storage cabinet, it can
be your standby for {lower failure.
Chilling, - conditioning, gr inding, cut¬
ting, and wrapping are same of the
services your locker plant can fttcili
tate. Your plant also makes sausage,
package poultry and freeaes fruits
and vegetables.
Remember, for advice, and for the
latest developments, see. the folks at
the locker plant. We have pamphlets
to offer on frozen foods.
First subscribers will be given
choice of iocker location.

This will be the best fruit and
berry crop since 1926. It will help
out for rations are now “sky high.”
Don’t know when we will get back
to earth again, for Europe must be
fed. We should eat what we can and
what we can’t can. It might be a
good idea to dry some of this fruit
and cover it up at night to keep the
Dixie Dew Drops front turning it
black.
When most of the people had an
orchard they built rock kilns to dry
the fruit in rainy weather. Anybody
can build one. If you then had plenty
of dry wood you could snap your fin¬
gers at a wet spell.
Some 35 years ago everybody told:
.set out an orchard and many did.
They bought their trees in Middle
Georgia and Tennessee. Then they
went to sleep and the enemy crept
in. The codling moth, San Jose scale
and borers had a picnic. We are com¬
manded to watch' as well as pray.
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib¬
erty. We now only have a few trees
of native growth.

the band all the way.
