Families Asking For
Furloughs for Sons,
Contact Local RCC
“In case of sickness or death
in a family whose relatives are
in the arrived services, it is nec-
esary for them to contact the
local Red Cross Chapter before
a furlough can be given to the
registrant in service.”
The above order has been is¬
sued by the War Department to
aid registrants in service in se¬
curing furloughs without delay,
in case of sickness or death oi
one in their families, or im¬
mediate relatives.
If the family or friends of the
deceased relative will contact
their local Red Cross Chapter,
advising them of the illness or
death, the officials of the chap¬
ter will immediately advise the
commanding officer of the rigis-
trant, and secure an immediate
furlough for the soldier, and he
may return home at once.
It is well that families having
sons in the U. S. armed forces
remember this ruling, ,for it
may save quite a lot of incon¬
venience and delay for the reg¬
istrant called home.

man.

Washington, D. C., August 5.—While maintaining
a tentative annual level of twelve billion dollars as
Its goal, the Treasury Department today fixed the
August quota for the sale of War Bonds at $815,000,-
000 as shown by the accompanying map by states.
in lowering the quota from a billion dollars in
July to $815,000,000 in August, the Treasury has given
recognition to certain factors which may be expected
to result in variations in sales over the 12-month pe¬
riod, such as the seasonal character of farm income.
Dade County Fair
Postponed For The
Duration of War
Plans for holding a County
Fair for this fall were discussed
at a committee meeting held
Friday in the county courthouse.
It was unanimously the opinion
of all members of the committee
that plans for an annual county
fair be abandoned for the dura¬
tion. This action followed the
reading of letters from the of¬
fice of defense transportation,
requesting that all State and
County fairs be postponed as a
means of helping reduce the
heavy demands on the national
transportation system. It was
pointed out in the discussion
that the county fairs, which
have been held for the past sev-
eral years, stimulated much in¬
terest in the county agricultural
program and it was the desire
of the body to continue the
county fair as an annual event
as soon after the end of the
present war as the opportunty
presents itself.
County Agent L. C. Adams and
Home Demonstration Agent Miss
Kathryn Berryman express re¬
gret because of the necessity of
cancelling the fair plans for this
year; however, it is their desire
when conditions will permit to
stage a county agricultural fair
that will be a credit to Dade
County.
Agent Adams expressed his
desire to see at our next fair a
livestock field day that will show
Dade as taking her place as a
livestock center. This position we
know Dade County should hold.
Board of Revisers
Prepares Voters Lists
The Dade County Board of
Revisers of voters’ lists, compos¬
ed of Larkin Blake, Sulphur
Springs; Frank Carroll, Wild¬
wood, and Early Ellis, Trenton,
met Monday at the county court
house and completed revision of
all voters' lists for the several
voting precincts throughout the
county.
After a purging of these lists
by the board of revisers, new
lists are prepared for the elec-
tion officials of the 12 voting
precincts of the county, and no
one whosrname does not appear
on these lists will be allowed
cast their ballot on
9th, when a governor, all state
house officials, a senator and
representative from each county
will be elected.
These factors have been taken into account in
determining each state’s share for the national quota
for August and will be given consideration in fixing
quotas for subsequent months.
In addition to the state quotas as set out in the
map there is a federal payroll allotment quota of
$9,750,000 aifd territorial quotas as follows: Alaska,
$760,000; Canal Zone, $213,000; Hawaii, $4,800,000;
Puerto Rico, $440,000, and the Virgin Islands,

Scrap Metal Campaign
Begun in Dade County
The demands of war, crtiel, re¬
lentless, continue to ask for sac-=
rifices from our people, and
these demands are being met
cheerfully, and patriotically by
the entire nation.
Although a campaign has just
closed for contributions for the
USO, in which Dade county citi¬
zens did themselves proud, we
are now being asked to begin
another campaign; this time we
are called upon to collect all old
scrap iron and other metals that
are lying buried in many fields
and fence corners of our farms,
and sell it to be used in the steel
mills of the country, to manu¬
facture guns and other war ma¬
terial to be used by our soldier
boys in defense of our country.
Ordinary J. M. Carroll is
chairman of the Salvage Scrap
iron drive in Dade county, aided
by the USDA Dade County War
composed of the follow-
ing citizens: H. G. Hawkins, Ris-
ing Fawn; L. C. Adams, secre¬
tary, J. E. Edwards, Rossville;
R. B. Graham, Trenton and Gra¬
ham Hale, Rising Fawn.
Scrap iron is being salvaged
throughout the county, and is
being bought by the following
progressive and patriotic mer-
chants who are paying 50 cents
per hundred pounds, delivered
to their store. The salvage cam¬
paign will continue through the
entire month of August, and
will net, it is believed, several
thousands of pounds of scrap
that is now rusting and
in the fields and a-
round the barn yards of our
farms.
Our government is BADLY IN

In Training
Private T. J. (Thomas) Ful-
ghum, USA, stationed at Camp
Lee, Va., spnt several days at
home with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Fulghum, of Lookout
Mountain.
Thomas returned to his camp
Saturday, stopping en route in
Trenton, for a short while, and
paying The Times office a pleas¬
ant visit.
Thomas is one among the 122
Dade County boys who are now
in service of their country, all
of whom are born and bred
patriots, pure and undefiled
Angle-Saxon race, fearless and
undefeatable; and when they are
thrown into battle with the
cruel, arrogant Henies, or the
pagan, beastial Japs, they will
prove the metal from which they
sprung.
Thomas says that his hobby
shall consist of collecting Jap
ears, strung on the point of his
bayonet, and he will not be
satisfied with a small collection,
either.
All honor to our boys who are
giving their all to the defense
of our country!
May our Divine Father grant
them safety and success in win¬
ning a VICTORY and a PEACE
that will endure through the
ages.
