Devoted to The Best Inter ests of Dade County and Georgia. NUMBER 20—VOLUME 45. Dade County To Get Veterinarian Service Arrangements have been made to secure part time veterinarian service for Dade County. This notice should be of special in¬ terest to livestock owners. Farmers of the County are re¬ alizing the advantages and pos¬ sibilities of livestock and are es¬ tablishing some good pasture and securing some outstanding breeding stock. Good pastures and good stock are the two main requisites for successful live¬ stock production. Rabies Under the State Law, which was passed at the last General Assembly, the County Board of Health appointed Dr. E. E. Chambers as County Rabies Inspector. Agent Adams states County that Dr. Chambers has agreed to do regular veterinarian prac¬ tice on the days he is in the County at a reasonable charge from his office in Trenton Mr. Adams states that live¬ stock diseases and parasites cause livestock producers to lose thousands of dollars each year and he states that farmer should take advantage of the advice and assistance that is being of¬ fered by a qualifed veterinarian.

GRAVEYARD working at SHANTY TOWN MAY 24 There will be a working to clean aff thememetery at Shanty Town Thursday, May 24. Also Memorial Services all day Sun¬ day, May 27. Everyone is cor¬ dially invited to attend. J. E. HOLLAND. Don’t forget the clean-up drive that is now in progress in Dade County. We want to make Trenton and Dade County so attractive that our returning service men will have no desire t0 move elsewhere. Also the more attractive a town is, the more chance we have of getting more industries to locate here. It Pays To Advertise m Cinmfi) Comments from the SIDELINES By ELBERT FORESTER NOW COMES the Seventh War Loan, officially opening on May 14 and ending on June 30. More time must be devoted to this drive and more money must be raised. There will be ample reasons given in speeches, stor¬ ies and advertisements why this particular drive should be put over the top in record time, but all arguments and reasons fade alongside the main one—that so long as our young men and women can take it in battle and as long as it is necessary for them to take it—just so long we can take it and give it at home! Our money; their blood and sinew. Our extra hours to earn more money to buy War Bonds; their extra hours to maintain the sovereignty and se¬ curity of the nation that will re¬ deem the bonds. The State’s quota is $121,000,000. Of this a- mount, Dade County is to raise $13,000. Judge J. M. Carroll heads the drive in Dade and needless to say, our quota will be cornin’ up “just like that.” To buy Bonds is one of the ways in which we can help on the Home Front. Germany has been “taken apart,” but the yellow bellies are yet to be licked... twisted out of their holes “one at a time.“ The toughest stages of the war with Japan has not been reached. More lives, many more will be lost. There is still much for us to do here at home. UNDER THE ARNALL adminis¬ tration, twenty-three million dollars worth of highway work in Georgia during the first year after the war, is being planned. No doubt, there is at least a couple of very important pro¬ jects in Dade County which will be “cut in” on this deal. The Federal government has ear¬ marked eleven and a half mil¬ lion dollars for highway work n the sttaate during the first postwar year and this amount must be matched dollar for dol¬ lar. MANY OF OUR BOYS in ser¬ vice are receiving citations of merit for outstanding service to their country. Many are receiv¬ ing promotions in rank. Fine young men, such as those fur¬ nished by Dade, make it hot for the “super men” and sooner or later will send them down “swinging”. IT’S ABOUT TIME for some one in Dade County to come out with a big fish tale. Judge J. M. C. Townsend releases a “fair” one. As usual, the Judge let the “whopper” get away. In the meantime, while the “whopper" was getting away from the Judge, his eldest son, Johnnie Mac, barely past three, reeled in a couple of- nice ones. This happened out at “Mullins’ Cove’ (or somewhere). Judge Will Cummings was on the party and according to information, real¬ ly “drug” ’em in—none getting away. No tellin’ what Larkin Blake, Uncle Bill Amos, Lump Fricks, Charley Bible and some of those fellows have in "store.” LT. BUFORD B. STREET ENROLLED IN B-29 FLYING SCHOOL AT MAXWELL FIELD Maxwell Field, Ala—2nd Lt. Buford B.

TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1945. Lawrence M. Bryson In Okinawa Landings ABOARD AN AIRCRAFT CAR¬ RIER IN THE PACIFIC__Law¬ rence M. Bryson, yeoman, third class, USNR, whose wife lives in North Trenton, was aboard this Essex class aircraft carrier when her planes battered Okinawa prior to the Marine and Army landings. With other units of the Pacific Fleet, this ship sent out her planes in a long series of sweeps and strikes that blasted enemy aircraft, shore intsallations and shipping from the Ryukyu Is¬ lands to the Japanese homeland. Veteran Pacific fighters a- board the ship consider the re¬ cent action among the severest of the war in the Pacific. Some¬ times day and night were brok¬ en by only short pauses for food and rest. Planes were fueled, armed, launched, then landed at once prepared to fight again. Besides doing her primary job of servicing its air group, the carrier put in a few licks with her onw guns, destroying one enemy plane and helping down another. TRENTON INFANTRYMAN PROMOTED IN ITALY WITH THE FIFTH ARMY, ITAL—Haskell C. Hibbs, whose wife, Jewell, lives here in Tren¬ ton, has been promoted from private first class to corporal on the Fifth Army front in Italy. He is an armored car driver with the 91st “Powder River” Divis¬ ion. Corporal Hibbs is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hibbs of Trenton. OUR TOMORROW With each sunset there is al¬ ways a sunrise to follow. With each sunrise, a new day. Each new day may bring about new and interesting experiences, a- gain heartache and sorrow may come on many of these days, bue these combined, go to make up our lives. The sorrow goes to help us realize and enjoy the goodness, the joy and happiness that is ours. Courage and strength are the foundation of a happy and well spent life. If one has courage, strength will come. Strength of soul, mind and heart. Courage is to be gained only through our knowledge of our need of it. No one can take it from you with¬ out your consent. Think of your¬ self as stronger than all else, then nothing can be taken from you ’till you weaken. You Weaken only when you have given up. Quit. Let our dreams be visions, vis¬ ions that tomorrow we may bring into being. Strive for the best and the best will be your reward. Do not weaken and give up because the way you. have chosen to get the best out of life may be hard. There are many paths along each' road and each path leads to the-same goal. Choose intelligently the path you are to follw and try to stay on this path. If you must change, let it be a better path¬ way. Never turn back down the road, don’t stop along the way; the friiit of your struggles is out yonder along the path. You never have it all! there is always more. You see, our dream of tomor¬ row is not just a dream—it is the future; it waits for us out there, so let’s you and I ac¬ complish it. CADET LOMA B. BEATY, USNR (Mmphis, Tenn.) NOTICE! Mr. C. W.

President Osmena Predicts Japs Be Will Hard To Beat WASHINGTON. D. C.—President Sergio Osmena of the Philippines, now in process of complete recon¬ quering from the Japanese and from which General Douglas Mac- Arthur’s land forces under Ad¬ miral Chester Nimitz will swing into final action against the enemy, to¬ day issued a statement in be- half of the Mighty Seventh '{ War Loan. President Os- mena’s state¬ ment was re¬ leased by Briga- adier General Carlos P. Romu- OSMENA lo, resident com¬ missioner of the Philippines to the United States, at the Philippine of¬ fices here. President Osmena said: “Needless to say, we Filipinos are very pleased with the signal suc¬ cesses achieved by the United States and her allies during recent months. After a long and hard struggle, the Germans have been pushed to the brink of overwhelming defeat and the end of the war in Europe is now clearly in sight. “In the Pacific, our gains have Pvi. Robert L. White in Germany WITH TE 100TH DIVISION OF ARMY IN GERMANY Robert L. White, or Star , Trenton, has recently assigned to the Co. A. 397th of the 100th Infantry and is now serving that organization on the Army Front in South¬ Germany. With his new assignment he become a member of the by Major General A. Burress of Rich¬ Va.

Under the inspiring leadership of such men as General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz, the Japanese have been dis¬ lodged from one position after an¬ other in their ill-gotten empire. In this connection, my people and I are extremely grateful that the Philippines are now being liberated from the tyrannical rule of the enemy. “Happy as I am that my country will soon be able to live in peace again, much remains to be done be¬ fore Japan is fully beaten. Aside from the additional campaigns which will be .needed to obtain military victory in the Pacific, there is also the human factor to be considered in that other peoples of the Far East eagerly await to be freed from the enemy. We Filipinos know only too well from experience what it means to be under Japanese domination. “One of the outstanding feats of the war has undoubtedly been the effective fashion in which the United States has overcome the formidable obstacles of distance in supplying the Pacific. Large quantities of supplies will be needed, however, to deliver the final crushing blows against a ruthless and fanatical enemy. All of us can make certain that these sup¬ plies are available for our armed forces by giving enthusiastic support to the Seventh War Loan Drive.” Roosevelt’s Appeal for 7th War Loan WASHINGTON, D. C.-Before his the Mighty Sev- enth War Loan for 14 billions of dollars in which he reminds the Nation it is still locked in a dead¬ ly struggle with its enemies. The President stressed the im- portance of greater produc¬ tion together with the buying and holding of War Bonds to vfctoy h He™ U? MR.ROOSEVELT a “/ don't need to tell you that ice are still locked in a deadly struggle with our enemies—the enemies of our way of life—and the war is still the chief joh of each one of us. The greatest production of which we are capable, faithful adherence to regu¬ lations that make it possible to sup¬ ply our boys in battle with every¬ thing they need, and buying and holding War Bonds—these are things we at home must do to sp^ed victory. “In the past three years more than 85 millions of Americans hare invested billions of dollars in bonds. I\ever before have so many people held such a direct share in a great national effort. To save—to buy and to hold alt we can for tear bonds — this is a small service to ask of us who do not fight—yet it is one of the biggest things we can do for our fighting men.” tack—the first time the citadel had ever been taken by an at¬ tacking force in its 200-year his¬ tory. Following the capture of Bit¬ che, the 100th went through the Siegfried Line, and made a two- day 100-mile dash across the Palatinate area to the Rhine River and Ludwigshafen. Cross¬ in the famous German river, the 100th again took up the chase and is now helping to drive the Germans back through Bavaria in Southern Germany. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR STATE AUDITOR COMMENDS SUPT.
