New Water System For Trenton ^ Being Planned i Meeting To Be Held at Courthose Monday Night To Further Plans For New Plant At a meeting held in the courthouse Monday night, plans were formulated for the proposed new water system in Trenton. The meeting, called by the city commission of Trenton and presided over by Mayor Dyer, was attended by a large crowd of Trenton businessmen and property owners. Much enthusiasm was man¬ ifest, and a spirit of cooperation was evident. The proposed system can, by figures furnished by the McCrary Engineering Company of Atlan- 1 ta.one of the oldest and largest engineering firms in the nation, be erected at a cost of $58,000. By estimating for a total of 140 subscribers to the water, the cost to each user will be only $2 per month for the first 3,000 gal¬ lons of water. According to the estimate furnished to the city, it will not be necessary to charge any cut-in fee at all. The initial survey and esti¬ mate was for Thenton alone, but the interested parties have taken into consideration the fact that the city may at some later date decide to extend their lines up the Chattanooga highway or aeross the creek into the Piney community, such additional lines, when and if constructed, will reduce the monthly rate to consumers in Trenton consider¬ ably. night At the meeting Monday it was decided to hold another meeting Monday night, January 21, at the courthouse in Trenton, at' which final plans are to be made for the water system.

Victory Clothing Collection Opens DONATIONS OF OLD CLOTH¬ ING BEING GENEROUSLY GIVEN BY THE PUBLIC U. S. Post Offices Authorized To Receive Clothing The price of a man’s life may be hanging in your closet! In a chest in the attic or basement of your home may be found clothing that will prevent helpless children from suffering from the icy winds of a bleak winter—perhaps might save a precious life. The future of millions of men. women and children is for sale— and the price of that future is one that you and I can easily af¬ ford to pay. These people who have borne the brunt and hardships of the war ; these are the people, now homeless and destitute of food and clothing, who bought us the days, months and years of time we had to have to win the war from the ruthless enemy. Now the people of America have an opportunity to repay, in part this debt. In an easy, inexpen¬ sive way, we can contribute their comfort and well-being, we must act at once. Any kind of used clothing that may be worn by men, women or children is urgently needed. Un¬ derclothing is especially needed for children; shoes, warm coats, dresses, heavy work cloth¬ ing for men are badly needed. Although the garments may bear a patch or two, if it is clean and usable, it will make some suffer¬ ing person warm and comforta¬ ble. Bedding, mattresses, sheets, quilts, anything one may have to spare that will give warmth and comfort to these destitute people will be gladly accepted. Pack your clothing and bed¬ ding into bundles and deliver them without delay to the re¬ ceiving station nearest your home. Clothing may also be de¬ livered to the school houses in your community, or to the U. S Post Offices. Postmaster Gen¬ eral Robert E. Hannegan has authorized and directed post¬ masters to permit local commit¬ tees of he Victory Clothing Col¬ lection for overseas relief to place boxes in office lobbies to receive clothing donations. In addition to your liberal do¬ nation of clothing, it will also be a splendid idea to write a per¬ sonal note of sympathy and en¬ couragement and pin to some garment. Your note may be the means of making some saddened heart feel that he has a personal friend who really cares for his future well-being. The effort is small; the encouragement may be far-reaching. Let every kindly patriotic citi¬ zen of Dade county open his or her heart and DONATE WITH¬ OUT DELAY to this great hu¬ manitarian clothing collection any and all old and used cloth¬ ing they can spare “Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it also unto me.” BTRLE— WILLIAMS Miss Hope Williams, of Chat¬ tanooga, became the bride of Raymond Bible, of Cloverdale, in a recent afternoon ceremony taking place at the Cloverdale Baptist church.

GROOM Etate Forest Fire Warden Throughout the state in the past six months, the district wardens of the Forest Fire Pa¬ trol, Georgia Department of For¬ estry, have been very active in the field in fire investigation. During this period, 24 prosecu¬ tions were made. Of this num¬ ber, 7 persons were convicted and given fines ranging from court costs and six months pro¬ bation up to five months in a county work camp. The other 17 cases are pending court trial Wardens are urging landown¬ ers and others to be extremely careful with outdoor fires to prevent their spread to wood¬ lands during the months of Jan¬ uary, February and March, re¬ cognized as Georgia’s fire months. Persons burning fields and “new ground” should obey the forest-fire laws by notifying adjacent landowners and con¬ trolling the fires, thereby avoid¬ ing prosecution. Georgia’s fire wardens will be especially busy during these fire months to ai prehend forest-fire law violators, but will still be able and willing to assist land- owners with their individual fire problems. Landowners wishing to report fires or need¬ ing assistance should call or write the district warden at the nearest district office of the Georgia Department of Forestry These offices are located in Calhoun, Gainesville, Washing¬ ton, Macon, Newnan, Statesbo¬ ro, Waycross, Butler and Camil¬ la.

He also has four battle stars denoting the battles in which he participated. Among the many adventures James encountered in his vari¬ ous duties while serving with the Array in far away places of the globe, he recalls especially one trip made from France over in¬ to Switzerland.
