Crawford Boy Is State
Winner In National
Poster Contest
I I
Here is Wm. Wallace Adkins,
of Crawford, who has just been
named state champion for Geor¬
gia in a national poster contest
in which 12,820 high school stu¬
dents from 41 states competed.
The theme of this event was
MEAT FOR VICTORY, accord¬
ing to the National Live Stock
and Meat Board, sponsor. Ad-
kin’s poster won this high honor
on the basis of originality, grasp
of the subject, and method of
presentation, in the opinion of
the judging committee.
In a statement accompanying
his poster, Adkins said: We
are at war and we want to win
the victory and to preserve our
freedom and the American way
of life. To do this we must feed
well our men in the armed
forces. Their physical fitness de¬
pends upon the right kind of
food. Meat is an essential part
of the daily diet since it con¬
tains certain essential minerals,
as iron, copper and phos¬
phorus. It is also an excellent
source of high quality protein
and a good source of the im¬
portant B vitamins.”
The National Live Stock and
Board represents all
branches of the live-stock and
industry. It carries on a
and educational pro¬

News Letters Too
Late For Publication
In order to prepare a paper
for publication on the date of
issue, it is imperitive that all
data, correspondence and ad¬
vertising copy be receieved by
nooh on the day before publi¬
cation.
The Times goes to press on
Thursday morning, and in order
to publish letters from our cor¬
respondents, we MUST, receive
all copy by noon on Wednesday.
We regret that we were forced
to omit the splendid news letter
from our Rising Fawn corres¬
pondent last week, but we did
not receive the letter until
Thursday morning, after our
forms had been closed for the
press, and it was physically im¬
possible to publish the corres¬
pondence after we received it.
The Times’ management re¬
grets the omission of correspon¬
dence, and again urges our cor¬
respondents to mail their copy
so as to reach our desk not lat¬
er than Wednesday noon.
Dade’s Soldier Boys
Appreciate The Times
Dade’s young soldier boys who
are now in military service are
appreciative of their home pap¬
er. For the past several months,
the management of The Times
has been sending the paper to
a large number of young sol¬
diers, complimentary, and we
are frequently in receipt of let¬
ters of appreciation from these
boys.
A letter received from one of
these soldier boys, Private J. B.
Masters, who was recently trans¬
ferred from Camp Davis, N. C.,
to service in Washington, D. C.,
reads as follows:
“Editor, The Dade County
Timse: I have been transferred
to our Nation’s Capitol. Please
change my,address so that I
will not miss a copy of The
Times. I can look it over and
know just what is happening
back in good old Dade County.
I like The Times very much—
it is like a real letter from
home.”
Parents who have sons in the
service from our county will do
us a service if they will send in
the names of their sons, with
the proper address, showing the
company, regiment, and location
of the camp where the soldier
is in training. It shall be our
pleasure to put these boys on
our mailing list, complimentary,
for the duration.
Friends of Mrs. James Case
will learn with regret that she
was taken to Erlanger hospital
Wednesday, where she has un¬
dergone a major operation.
Advices from Mrs. Case’s bed¬
side this morning, are very en¬
couraging, and she is expected
to make a rapid recovery from
the operation and soon return
home again.
It’s common sense to be
thrifty. If you save you are
thrifty. War Bonds help you
to save and help to save
America. Buy your ten per¬
cent every pay day.
Dade County Boy,
A True Patriot
In these strenuous days of
war, when our government is
fighting deadly enemies of our
freedom and Democracy, and
when sons from almost every
home are being taken to army
camps and trained for deadly
conflict, it is but natural that
a pall of sadness should darken
our otherwise sunny skies.
But from out of this gloom
appears many bright spots to
give us cheer and inspiration to
carry on; and create in us a
willingness to contribute of our
substance and render our ser¬
vices to our country—to make
happy the boys who are in
training for the defense of our
homes.
Walter W. Cureton chief clerk
of the local Selective Service
Board, is in receipt of a letter
from a young son of Dade
County, a true patriot, whose
experiences as a soldier far from
home, where he is being receiv¬
ed and royally entertained in
the homes of the big-hearted,
patriotic citizens of a far-west¬
ern state, South Dakota, will be
read with much Interest by our
patriotic citizens.
The writer of this interesting
letter is young Shadie Lee Case,
son of Nicholas Case, formerly
of Rising Fawn, now residing in
South Pittsburg, Tenn. The
young soldier was inducted into
service from Dade County on
June 8, and sent to Atlanta,
wher he later was transferred
to Sioux Falls, S. D., where he is
now a student in an Army Air
Force Technical School, in train¬
ing to become a radio opera¬
tor. With the pattiotism, per¬
spective and happy philosophy
of life, this young man will soon
receive a commission and we
predict that he will go far in
life, both as a soldier and a
civilian, after this horrible con¬
flict is over.
The following is the letter
written by young Case to W. W.
Cureton, of the local Selective
Service Board:

Fiddlers’ Convention
For USO Drive
Draws Large Crowd
A real, honest-to-goodness, old
time Fiddlers’ Convention was
staged here Saturday night and
quite a sum was raised for
Dade’s USO quota. The event
was sponsored by the local post
of the American Legion and
Auxiliary, which organizations
were determined to raise their
share of our county’s contribu¬
tion for the benefit of our boys
in service.
Door receipts and from the
sale of cold drinks grossed well
over $100.00, from which minor
expenses are to be deducted.
One of the largest crowds ever
to assemble in Dade County ov¬
erflowed the auditorium, aisles
and corridors of the Dade Coun¬
ty High School to hear the best
in old time fiddling, guitar pick¬
ing, singing and general enter¬
tainment.
Leslie Blevins, of Long Island,
Ala., carried off the blue ribbon
in the fiddlers’ contest; Carl
Waddell, of Slygo, however, was
second best, and Carl’s band
placed first.
The Dade County Five, com¬
posed of some of the best mu¬
sicians in the county, were vot¬
ed the best entertainers. The
outfit is “plenty good.” Carroll
Bradford, Russell Riddle, Nor¬
man Bradford and Hugh Mc-
Kaig make up a combination
that is hard to beat. Carroll
gave a couple of solos, which
were very much enjoyed by all.
Our local talent was at its
best and furnished a variety of
entertainment seldomly eaualled.
All the musicians and enteHain-
ers are to be commended highly
for their making such an en¬
joyable program possible. The
Legion and Auxiliary wish to
thank everyone who assisted in
putting over the big event.
These organizations especially
want to thank Elbert Forester,
who was in charge of the event:
H.F. Allison, who was “master of
ceremonies,” and Lyman Taylor,
of Sand Mountain, who furnish¬
ed the beautiful floral decora¬
tions; also, Mrs. W. G. Morris¬
on, John Shelton and Jiles Gass,
who acted as judges in the con¬
test.
Following is a list of the win¬
ners:
Best fiddler, Leslie Blevins;
2nd, Carl Waddell; 1st Band,
"Slygo Hillbillies”; 2nd, Leslie
Blevins’ Band.
1st Guitar, “Chicken” Scarber;
2nd, Harold Guffey.
1st Entertainer, The Dade
County Five; 2nd, Rayburn
Wheeler.
1st Banjo, Perry Henderson.
1st Duet, Buchanan Brothers;
2nd, James and J. D. Henderson.
1st Buck and Wing Dancer,
Moree; 2nd, Pete Brad¬
ford.
The sponsors are indeed grate¬
ful for the cakes furnished by
various ladies as prizes for those
in the contests.

Tickets for the supper had
previously been sold, and a large
crowd attended. Near $40.00
was realized and the peo¬
ple of Wildwood are to be highly
commended for the 100 percent
interest shown in this patriotic
drive. Wildwood went over the
top, since $30.00 had been set
as a goal for that community.
