Reports Indicate
Amall’s Strength
Increasing Fast
As the heated race for Gov¬
ernor of Georgia enters its fi¬
nal stages, the rising tide of
support for Ellis Arnall and the
crusade to redeem Georggia
from dictatorship is reaching
overwhelming proportions.
Every report indicates that
Arnall's strength is increasing.
Leaders in every section are en¬
listing in the movement, re¬
gardless of past political affili¬
ation.
A state-wide poll, conducted
under non-partisan auspices, in¬
dicates that Ellis Arnall has a
lead of almost four to one and
and that the lead is mounting
daily.
Ellis Arnall said: “We do not
concede a sinle county to the
opposition. We hope to bury the
present vicious state admini¬
stration under an avalanche of
free ballots, so that there can
be no mistake about how Geor¬
gia feels about dictatorship,
whether at home or in foreign
lands.”
In the closing days of the
campaign, citizens in every
county are displaying interest in
Elli? Arnall, the man. Although
the bitter campaign has brought
out charges and counter charges
the record of Ellis Afnall stands
forth clear and unsullied.
Ellis Arnall entered public life
as a representative of Coweta
Counts.*! 'id received the un-
preceb&u/d' honor of being e-
lected Speaker Prom Tem dur¬
ing his first term.
He served as a Talmadge floor
leader, but his independence was
demonstrated by his leadership
in the fight for old age pen¬
sions, the seven-month school
term, and free text books meas¬
ures which Talmadge vetoed.
During his second term, he
was again guided by the inter¬
ests of the people and opposed
Talmadge in several matters,
but so great was Talmadge’s re¬
spect for the youthful 'leader
that he named him Spescial As¬
sistant Attorney General in
charge of banking matters.
When Rivers succeeded Tal-
®adge, Arnall was named Spec¬
ial Attorney General. Upon the
I resignation of Attorney General
| Yeomans, Arnall was named to
this high office. And Talmadge
was among the loudest in his
j Praise of the appointment.
®lis Arnall was re-elected At¬
torney General unanimously and
continued to compile one of the
| most country. impressive He has records in the
handed down
more than 4,000 opinions, and
only three have been overturned
m the courts. He had won over
P e r cent of more than 700
cases tried in the courts in be¬
half of Georgia.
Ellis Arnall has never faltered

government resore
of Georgia to the
People.
A vote for Elliss Arnall is

Fourteenth Annual
Reunion Sunday
The fourteenth annual For¬
ester reunion was held at Clov-
erdale Sunday, and a large
number of relatives and
attended.
The weather being rainy, the
gathering was at the Clover-
dale church, rather than the
usual picnic grounds. An ap¬
propriate program had been ar¬
ranged for the occasion, and
many of those present said
“this is the best reunion we
have ever had.” Gus Forester,
president, was in charge of the
program and gave the welcome
address. He extended a
welcome to everyone; to every
friend of the Foresters. Due

For Ellis Arnall

day night in behalf of the
didacy of Ellis Arnall for Gov¬
ernor. of , ,,
Mr. Atkinson is the son
late W. Y. Atkinson, a is
Governor of Georgia, and con¬
sidered on of the best informed
men in the state on govermen- well-re¬

“As a citizen of Ellis s

served his career with an unusu¬
al amount of interest, I can
sincerely say that his character
as a private citizen, his profes¬
sional character and as a mem-
>r of the Bar, is above re¬
proach. He is inherently hon¬

has the faith and confidence of
his fellow-citizens who have
known him all his life.”
“The election of Ellis Arnall

cratic principles, stated Mr. At¬

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1942.
AAA ANNOUNCES
RATES OF 1942
COTTON LOANS
Cotton loan rates based on 85
percent of parity as of August
1, 1942, with variations in re¬
lation to location, have been an¬
nounced by the Commodity
Credit Corporation, Dade Coun¬
ty AAA administrative officer
said this week.
The average loan on 7 / a nch
middling cotton, gross weight,
will be 16.02 cents a pound, he
said, based on an August 1st
parity price of 18.85 cents. This
compares with an average loan
rate of 14.02 cents a pound last
year.
Premiums and discounts for
grade and staple in the 1942
program, Mr. Graham said, will
be calculated in relation to the
loan rate on 15-16 inch middling
cotton, which will be .2 cents a
pound above that for 7 / 8 inch
middling. As in previous pro¬
grams, the loan rate will be bas¬
ed on net weight. The net weight
loan rate will be 70 points above
that for gross weight to com¬
pensate for the lesser number of
pounds on which the loan is ex¬
tended. The Average loan rate
for 15-16 inch middlilng, net
weight, will be 16.ftf cents a
pound.

Sept. Tire Quotas
Must be Reduced,
OPA Announces
Due to current war conditions
and the depleted supply of rub¬
ber remaining in this country,
the Office of Price Administra¬
tion has announced that Sept,
and subsequent monthly tire
quotas must be reduced in order
that the country as a whole may
be kept within the year’s quota
of rubber allotted by the War
Production Board.
Local War Price and Ration¬
ing Boards have a tremendous
job confronting them in that
they must allow certificates for
tires only to those vehicles most
essential to the war effort and
to the community.
Tire abuse and neglect can
not be tolerated, even from these
most essential applicants. A
War Price and Rationing Board
has full authority to deny tires
to an applicant who has delib¬
erately abused his tires by over¬
loading and excessive speeds, or
other abuses.
All vehicles can and must use
a maximum number of recapped
tires if essential functions of the
war effort and community are
to be maintained. Every appli¬
cant must accept recapped tires,
unless he can prove to the satis¬
faction of the local board that
his tires became unusable from
circumstances not resulting from
his abuse or neglect; or that the
vehicle must operate at excess¬
ive speeds to perform it normal
functions. Administra¬ .
The Office of Price
te is doing everything possible
to keep essential vehicles op-
erating, but the wholehearted
cooperation of the general pub¬
lic will be a deciding factor.

HOME AGENT SAYS
DRIED CORN GOOD
FOR WINTER USE
With wartime bringing about
a shortage of canning equip¬
ment, more homemakers are
turning to drying as a means
of preserving food. Com, now
available in quantity in Dade
County, is a vegetable that can
be preserved satisfactorily by
drying.
Miss Kthryn Berryman, home
demonstration agent, this week
gave some tips on how to dry
corn so that the fresh product
can be kept safely for winter
meals.
Use any good table corn, gath¬
ered when right for immediate
eating, she said. Work fast—
never let corn stand very long
before drying. Husk the corn,
and remove and blemishes. You
do not need to silk it—the silks
separate easily from the kernels
after they are dryed.
Steam the corn for 10 min¬
utes or boil it from 8 to 12
minutes—o!r until the milk is
“set”. Then drain the corn, cool
it, and cut from the cob.
To sun-dry corn, according to
the home agent, spread small
lots on clean boards, heavy pap¬
er, canvas, cheesecloth, or sacks
held in place by laths. Wire
trays or screens, or slat trays
covered with thin cloth, are ev¬
en better because they let air
circulate under the corn as well
as over it.
Dry the corn on an outdoor
shelf, a roof slanting to the
south or in sunny windows. Stir
it two or three times each day
while it is drying. Take it in at
night and whenever rain is ex¬
pected. hard
Properly dried corn is
and brittle. Seal dried corn im¬
mediately in mosture proof con¬
tainers and store in a cool, dark,
dry pla f e ; If signs of moisture
appear later the corn should be
reheated to 165 degrees Fahren-
heit and then reseal in the con-
gamers, Miss Berryman conclud-

Governor Talmadge
In his second radio address in
behalf of the candidacy of Ellis
Arnall for Governor over sta¬
tion WSB last week, James V.
Carmichael, former member of
the house of representatives,
ma{le startling accusations that
the “powers behind the throne”
in the Governor’s office were
convicted grafters and racket¬
eers. He reiterated the claims
made in his first radio address
that Talmadge was the greatest
taxgatherer the State has ever
had and declared Talmadge’s
claims of economy in govern¬
ment were “absolutely false”
and his statements concerning
economy had been made after
juggling the figures for political
purposes.
HITS PARDON RACKET
Referring to the pardon rack¬
et, Mr. Carmichael said: “It is
konwn that during his last four
years as Governor, Talmadge
has pardoned and paroled 4,500
criminals. *** If Talmadge is
re-elected for another four years
the State will have to put re¬
volving doors on the penitenti¬
ary to let the criminals out as
fast as Talmadge pardons them.”
“Governor Talmadge,” he said,
“not only pardons and paroles
these criminals, but he also ap¬
points them to places of honor,
trust and responsibility in the
state government.
CONDEMNS RACE ISSUE
1 “Governor Talmadge has dis¬
graced the State by seeking to
make the race issue one of the
main issues of the campaign. He
has gone up and down the state
stirring up dissension and dis¬
unity by preaching race hatred
.... In this greatest of war ef¬
forts, we see the sorry spectacle
of this modern Paul Revere gal-
lolping madly over Georgia with
his bushy hair waving and his
red suspenders flapping, crying
from door to door, ‘Wake up!
Wake up! The Niggers are com¬
ing’!” SUPPORTING
DR. EVANS
GOVERNOR TALMADGE
After naming several well
known "big time” racketeers
with criminal records who are
known to be close friends of the
Governor, Mr. Carmichael as¬
serted, “If you want to know
where the real graft machine of
the Rivers administration is in
this race, ask this one simple
question: ‘Where is the Kingfish
of Graft under the Rivers ad¬
ministration?’ In all his attacks

On Friday evening, Sept. 4th,
the Dade County Farm Bureau
a unit of the Georgia Farm
Federation, will entertain their
friends with an old time Geor¬
gia chicken stew at the Dade
County High school gymnasium.
A membership drive, which has
been in progress during the

tunity to hear an address by the
President of the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation, Hon. H. L.
Wingate, who will be a
speaker of the Farm Bureau.
The Dade County Farm Bu¬
reau was organized about 18
months ago, and already it
become a factor among the pro-
gressive farmers of the county;
much improvement in care and
cultivation of farm lands is ap¬
parent, especially in the soil e-
rosion and proper coverage crops
for protection from winter rains
and freezes.
Under the direction of Presi¬
dent Gus Forester, and other
progressive farmers of the coun¬
ty, who are devoting much time
to its activities, the Dade Coun¬
ty Farm Bureau has become a
great asset to the farmers of the
county.

j With Dade Full Schools Enrollment Open
Dade County schools, all grades,
opened their fall sessions Mon¬
day, with a large and satisfac¬
tory enrollment of pupils.
All schools with the exception
of one, the West Brow, on Look¬
out Mountain, opened their doors
Monday, although there are still
a few teachers to be employed;
but Supt. Allison was able to
employ a number of substitute
teachers, and he hopes to have
these vacancies filled by the
close of this week.
Supt. Allison has not had the
time this week to compile the
total registration of pupils on
opening day, but he hopes to be
able to report a larger enroll¬
ment than that of last year.
Davis High School, on Sand Mt.,
will report a very large enroll¬

High in Trenton.

The high and elementary de¬

High School have opened this
week with a total enrollment of

there is a shortage of seats due
to increased enrollment. Every
effort, however, will be made to
take care of this shortage. In
some cases, temporary seats
may have to be constructed until
new equipment can be purchas¬

Enthusiasm this year seems to

Arnall Says He Will
See That Mountain
Highway is Paved
*
Ellis Arnall, Georgia's next
governor, visited Dade County
for a short while Monday after¬
noon, coming to Trenton from
LaFayette, where he delivered
an address to a large and en¬
thusiastic audience during the
morning.
Col. Arnall, former State At¬
torney General, was accompan¬
ied to Trenton by a number of
enthusiastic Dade County sup¬
porters who had driven to La¬
Fayette to hear his address.
Although his appearance ln
Dade County was unadvertised,
a number of citizens, including
many ladies, were at the court
house to welcome him when he
arrived, at 2:30 p. m.
After shaking hands with
those present, Col. Arnall made
a short address, being Introduc¬
ed In a few well chosen words
by George W. Nisbet. Ool. Arnall
excoriated Governor Talmadge,
his opponent, for many of his
dictatorial acts as governor, and
especially on his opposition to
the old-age pension law, which
he opposed because, “It would
give the aged negro pensions on
an equal basis with the white
race.”
In his address, Col. Arnall
stated that if he is elected, he
will see that the Trenton-La-
Fayette highway was paved on
across Sand Mountain to the
Alabama state line, which ia
very essential at this time be¬
cause of the heavy traffic now
flowing from the mountain via
Trenton to Chattanooga.
Col. Arnall’s short address was
well received by his hearers, and
he left feeling assured that Dade
County would give him a large
majority vote on election day,
Wednesday, Sept. 9.
Health Center Is
Suggested For Dade
An article, headed “Dade
County Looks Ahead,” appearing
in The Dade County Times last
week, written by a member of
the Dade County Health Unit,
suggesting that a community
health center be established, is
causing very much favorable
comment.
Because of the present crisis
there is a shortage in both
medical and nursing personnel,
doctors and nurses having been
called to the Army and Navy,
making it necessary that com¬
munities or counties establish
health centers where proper
care may be taken of the citi¬
zens of the county, especially
those of underprivileged moth¬
ers and prospective mothers.
The Dade County Health Unit,
with the county officials, are
making plans for the establish¬
ment of a health center to be
located in Trenton, and will an¬
nounce definite plans in the
near future.
This is a forward step that
will meet the approbation of all
of our progressive citizens.
