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.

more attractive a town is, the
more chance we have of getting
more industries to locate here.

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.”

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.

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.

been no less impressive. 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
