New Salem Reports
$30.00 For The USO
The New Salem community
reports $36.00 raised forthe USO
when a box supper was put on
there last week. The community
has furnished twelve of the Dade
County boys who are in Military
Service. Mrs. Jack Neal is in
charge of the drive at New Sa¬
lem and the community has
made a splendid showing. “This
is one of the least things we can
do to help our boys and it will
let them know that we tre back¬
ing them up” Mrs. Neal says.
The ladies of the Wildwood
community are really busy this
week getting ready for the USO
Supper which is to be given at
the Community House there
Sunday evening.
All are enthusiastic in the drive
to raise Dade’s quota and are
determined that the Wildwood
community will contribute its
share. Tickets are being sold for
the supper and indications are
that a large crowd will attend.
The folks on Sand Mountain
are staging a pie supper Friday
night, July 24th. They expect a
big turn out to this event.
Reports indicate that the
Community of Sand Mountain
and Rising Fawn will come
through 100 percent.
Oh, Doctor
Perhaps the most wonderful
progress that science has made
has been in the realm of heal¬
ing—in which we include di¬
sease prevention. Just look at
what we have done to smallpox,
rabies, typhoid, diphtheria, yel¬
low fever and other once deadly
diseases! We’ve knocked them
out of the box, so that no one
need have them any more. The
remedies for them have proven
soverign; therefore, the State
spends money, willingly, to fur¬
nish them to all, rich or poor.
But lots of times you feel bad,
and don’t know what is the
trouble. Then the doctor comes,
makes a diagnosis, i.e., a guess,
and gives you a treatment.
What is the treatment? Guess
again! It is this guess-work that
costs you money. You accept the
physician’s guess, because it is
likely to be better than any
other person’s; you take the
treatment, and get well by the
aid of it, or in spite of it. This
is a rule that has only one ex¬
ception-one exception for each
of us. . _ di¬
We shall finally be rid of
seases that attack us in our
procreative years, by those who
take the disease, and overcome
it. Through them the race will
finally attain immunity. But it
looks as if the ailment assiciat-
ed with senility constitute the
healer’s main problem. That
would not be true if survival de¬
pended on these oldsters; for
then those races would survive
whose individuals lived longest.
But the fact is, our aged are
themselves dependent, either on
their own accumulated earnings,
or on the earnings of their jun¬
iors. do
So there, Oh, Doctor,
something for the aged. Homos¬

Another Dade County
Boy Makes The
Supreme Sacrifice
Only five months have
since that grim day in
ber 7th, when the savage
stabbed our nation in the

grim realities of war are
ginning to reach us in a
sonal way, as our sons are

“missing in action” come to
homes of our citizens.
On last Sunday, 12,
States naval headquarters
Washington, notified Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin Johnson,
Hooker, that their son,
Johnson, was reported as miss¬
ing in action on the high
while engaged in a naval

Young Johnson was serving

conflict with a cruel and mer¬
ciless foe, having enlisted as
naval recruit several months

Debris of U. S. Army
Bomber Crash Moved
To Atlanta Air Base
The last of the debris from
the wreckage of the giant U. S.
B-24-D bomber, which crashed
on a hill top about one and one-
half miles north of Trenton last
Tuesday afternoon, July 7, has
been cleared away. For several
days last week large U. S. Army
trucks have been hauling the
wreckage to the Atlanta airbase
where it is salvaged for use in
th e construction of another
bomber.
The giant plane weighed 60,-
000 pounds, and while the four
engines, the fusilage and wings
were a mass of broken, twisted
wreckage, the aluminum and
steel were salvaged.
Only the tail of this giant
bomber remained intact after the
crash, and this was due to the
fact, perhaps, that the tail of
the plane was broken from the
fusilage while in mid air, and
landed some 300 yards from the
other wreckage. The tail of the
plane was carefully loaded onto
a truck and carried to Atlanta,
where it was skillfully examined
by experts at the air base, to
determine the exact cause of the
crash.
“Upon the examination of the
tail of the plane depends the
findings of true facts regarding
the horrible crash,” stated an
army Lieutenant to a Times
representative Monday, “the re¬
mainder of the plane being tom
to such small bits that it is im¬
possible to draw a conclusion
as to the cause of the accident.”
The cost of the ship is estimated
far into the thousands of dollars,
but this is small, indeed, when
compared to the loss of the
brave young airmen, who gave
their all in training for service
for the defense of their coun¬
try.
These brave young heroes, all
of them, gave up their lives in
defense of their country, even
though they did not die while
engaged in battle with the brut¬
al Huns or heathen Japs, and
all will receive an official mili¬
tary funeral, a fitting tribute
which they so greatly deserved.
In flag-drapped caskets, with
military escorts composed of
members of their air corps, their
"Buddies”, these young heroes’
remains were shipped to their
bereaved parents, who are resid¬
ing throughout the nation, anil
ere this the last sad rites have
been said and “taps” sounded
in loving reverence, and the re¬
mains laid to rest amid other
heroes who have gone on before,
and who also gave their all in
defense of their country.
Our hearts, and the hearts of
all true American fathers and
mothers and others, go out in
deepest sympathy and gratitude
to the relatives of these young
heroes; but our tears and sym¬
pathy avail but little, unless we,
as American citizens, stand unit¬
ed behind the boys who are so
bravely and gallantly defend¬
ing our beloved nation.
Let us, all, today rededicate
ourselves to the service of our
country, pledging ourselves
whole-heartedly to contribute of
our substance, our service, our
all; to be worthy of the tragic
deaths of these young heroes,
and probably thousands of oth¬
ers of our own boys, who may be
called upon to make the supreme
sacrifice, that we may continue
to live and maintain our free¬
dom and Democracy which we
now enjoy.
Elbert Ellison, who lives near
the scene of the accident, and
who was possibly the only ac¬
tual eye-witness, has been au¬
thorized by Army officials to
dispose of the remaining wreck¬
age left at the place where the
accident occurred.
