Trick Backfired On Local Men (Exchange) William Belt and Ray White of this vicinity hid a seventeen jewel Elgin watch in a hollow stump about a quarter of a mile from Dr. Anderson’s office in an attempt to test the powers of Dr. Anderson. They th!en proceeded to Dr. Anderson’s office for a reading, with the story that they had lost the watch. Dr. Anderson told them that they had not lost their watch but had hid¬ den it trying to fool him, also told them that they would not find their watch when they re¬ turned to the hollw stump to get it, for a little colored boy had found their watch while they were visiting Dr. Anderson’s of¬ fice. They cannot say for sure the colored boy has the watch or not but it is a known fact that the watch was gone when they returned for it. He also told William Bell in his reading that when he re¬ turned home he would have a letter waiting for him from his wife, who was then on a visit in another town with her peo¬ ple, asking for a divorce. He received the letter alright, and the divorce is under way at this writing. I just want to add this little warning to the men of Fort Payne, (and women). If you have anything to hide from your respective mates, we would ad¬ vise you to keep them away from Dr. Anderson’s office, which, starting Monday, July 8, 1946, will be located in Fort Payne, jus across from the Ford Garage on Highway U. S. No. 11—Birm¬ ingham Highway. Remember, Dr. Anderson will open in Fort Payne, Ala., Mon¬ day, July 8, 1946. He has com¬ fortable separate waiting rooms for white and colored. Office hours will be ten a. m. until ten p. m. TRUMAN EMERGENCY MEASURE SEEMS UNWANTED Washington, June 30.—Presi¬ dent Truman’s emergency anti-strike bill, which congress cheered only a month ago, now appears unloved, unwanted and unlikely to succeed. Administration leaders are not pushing it, although the Pres¬ ident again formally asked for it on June 11. The lack of steam behind the measure has been widely noticed on Capitol Hill. Today it- was on Speaker Sam Rayburn’s desk and no one had yet risen to fight for it further. A ionttfo iraw THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1946. Paralysis Foundation Has Fine Showing The annual meeting of the Georgia State Chapter National Foundation for Infantile Paraly¬ sis held in Atlanta June 21, Chairman William K. Jenkins, reported that during the fiscal year ending May 31, the chapter had expended $117,000 for ser¬ vices rendered to individuals in¬ cluding $78,500 for hospital care, $5,000 for transportation of pa¬ tients to and from hospitals and clinics; $16,500 for Orthopedic appliances (such as braces, shoes, corsets, etc.);$17,000 for doctor and nurse services. Mr. Jenkins stated that the State Chapter experi¬ enced the greatest increase in an expanded program of service since its organization. This, of course, has been made possible only because of the continued interest and generous financial support of the people of Georgia during the annual March of Dimes. During the year, Mr. Jenkins continued, the chapter gave financial aid for care and treatment to 583 poliomyelitis victims in Georgia representing 132 counties; 117 of these cases were reported during the current year and 466 were previously re¬ ported. The , activities of the chapter included the training of public health nurses at Warm Springs, Red Cross nurses’ aides and instructors at Atlanta at a cost of $3,000; estabilishing a Po¬ lio Center at Grady Memorial Hospital at a cost of $20,000; and placing equipment in hos¬ pitals and clinics amounting to $9,500. Mr. N. Baxter Maddox, treas¬ urer, read an audited report showing the chapter had receiv¬ ed from the 1946 March of Dimes $167,000 and now has a cash bal¬ ance in the bank of $127,000 and U. S. Bonds in the amount of $226,000 held for a reserve a- gainst-an epidemic emergency. Mr Jenkins stated further, “With ample funds at its dispos al the Georgia Chapter is in po¬ sition to give immediate and ef¬ ficient aid to any person who might become a victim of infan¬ tile paralysis, regardless of age, color or creed. In other words, there is no reason whatever for any polio victim in the state of Georgia to go without care or treatment because of lack of funds. While a number of cases have been reported in surround¬ ing states, cases reported in Georgia are slightly under that of last year and for this reason thero should be no fear of an epidemic in our state.” In October, 1945, through the instrumentality of Mr. Robert P. Maddox, former chairman of the Georgia State Chapter, a Poliomyelitis Center was estab¬ lished at the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, under the supervision of Dr. R. L. Bennett, Director of Physical Medicine, Georgia Warm Springs Founda¬ tion. This center is adequately staffed and equipped to give im¬ mediate aid and efficient hos¬ pital care to acute and early convalescent polio patients fast as they are reported either to the Health Department or to the Georgia State Chapter. High tribute was paid to the Officers and Executive Commit tee in carrying through the im¬ portant work of the Georgia State Chapter with special commendation given the Gov¬ ernor Ellis Arnall, Honorary State Chairman Mr. Wm. K. Jen¬ kins, State Chairman and Mr. Freeman Strickland who directed the 1946 Georgia March of Dimes Officers unanimously re-elect¬ ed are Wm. K. Jenkins, chair¬ man; Mrs. Frank A. Dennis, vice chairman; N. Baxter Maddox, treasurer; and Miss Anna Kothe, secretary. BELATED HONEYMOON Sgt. and Mrs. Lee Waltz are honeymooning in Niagara Falls and Canada.

B en Huiet Makes His Announcement t. huiet in announc¬ ing FOR RE-ELECTION AS COMMISSIONER OF LABOR OF GEORGIA ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE OF THE PAC OF THE C. I. O.

Huiet stated it would continue to be his policy when reelected Commisssioner of La¬ bor of Georgia o serve all the people of the state and not any special pressure group or clique. That the radical leaders of the PAC of the C. I. O. put in the race and were actively support¬ ing his opponent simply because he would not allow them to dominate the Department of Labor of Georgia. Commis¬ sioner Huiet said he accepted the challenge of the radical leaders of the C. I. O. and would leave the verdict to the people of Georgia. Commissioner Huiet was elec¬ ted for three jterms with an overwhelming vote. He has kept the faith and justified the con¬ fidence they placed in him.

McDonald, chair¬ man of the Georgia Public Serv¬ ice Commission, richly deserves reelection to that office. He is seeking endorsement from the voters of Georgia on the basis of a record of public service. Mr. McDonald’s qualifications are pointed out in a published endorsement issued by promi¬ nent citizens of his home county and the counties of his Judicial Circuit. The statement points out that, in spite of total blindness and the added handicap of limited financial resources, Walter Me Donald secured a complete edu¬ cation by self-effort, graduating from the University of Georgia. He made a success as a practic ing attorney and represented his native county for three terms in the Legislature before becoming a member and chairman of the Public Service Commission, to which the people have reelected him repeatedly. His career challenges admiration and is a proof of his ability and charac¬ ter, the statement added, con¬ tinuing: “Under Walter McDonald’s guidance, the Public Service Commission has promoted and fostered Rural Electrification expansion to the extent that Georgia is preeminent in the number of farm homes served with electricity. His record shows that utility services have been greatly expanded during his ad¬ ministration and the rates for electric and other utility serv¬ ices have been reduced to the lowest level in Georgia history. During the war years, when ev¬ ery other item on the family budgart was advancing, Utility rates were reduced each year, representing more than five millionn dollars in annual sav¬ ings for Georgia people. “In addition, as pointed out editorily by both the Augusta papers, published in Walter McDonald’s home town, he is and has been the dynamo and the most active figure in the South’s fight for freight rate equality, and already has secur¬ ed freight adjustments that represent annual savings to Georgia shippers running into hundreds of thousands of The statement pointed out Walter McDonald served ably during the war as chair¬ of a committee of State cooperating with war agencies, and that, addition, he headed the Civ¬ Defense Committee of for the protection of service utilities. (Published by friends and admirers in his home coun¬ ty, who commend Walter McDonald to our fellow vot¬ ers as a worthy and deserv¬ ing public servant). Dade County’s Only Newspaper. BAD WEATHER By Menchew Macbeth CHAPTER ONE It was not in a juke joint but in a railroad station a few years ago he had met her. He had often wandered in there to sit on the smooth cool old benches of the shadowy ancient waiting room and to get a cold lime drink at the fountain. That particular evening he had just finished a greasy lunch at the Italian cafe across the street and with what he had had to drink was feeling comfortably drowsy-headed. He thought he would go in and buy a ticket to the next large town, this would give him a chance to sleep awhile with¬ out being disturbed and anoth¬ er chance at another job. He had seen the woman almost at once, dark eyes staring into space—two heavy braids of dark brown hair wound around a high crown above a white face. There was a look of loneliness about her, he could appreciate that sort of look. Loneliness had driven him from here to yonder for a long while now, and to his detriment most of¬ ten to hot night spots. Haunt¬ ing the juke joints each evening because of that empty place where ;his heart should have been, and because his thirst for alcohol could be waited upon at such places; drinking himself to a drugged sleep each nighit only to dream over and over of the woman, a figure that dwelt always somewhere in the cloudy redesses of his mind whether asleep or awake. He had hit bottom and faced the awful possibility of living the balance of his days that way. Now he had seen her, this woman, for she was a woman, a full bodied, settled woman—she was THE woman! The one whose image had been with him so long. He looked away quickly—sitting for a long moment gazing out the distant doorway where the sou¬ thern sunset blazed sullenly a- cross a muddy sky. It must be a figment of his imagination he mused yet even with his eyes closed he could still see her face! He looked once more, his heart a-quiver—yes, she was there al¬ right real as life and still star¬ ing into space. He tried to set¬ tle his whirling brain, he had to speak to her—to hear her voice—to see her smile just He gripped both knees his knuckles white and muttered un¬ his breath “I’ve got t’ clear head—somehow,” and set¬ his lips in a firm line he hastily from the station briskly around the keeping his eyes on the to the building. Mean¬ the woman had wandered to the news stand and was timidly, “Could I look the axis?” “Yes,’, the girl her, “If you put it back be¬ the boss returns.” “ No she sighed, as she laid paper down. “I’ll have to in the ladies waiting room tonight.” (To be continued)- L.

To the People of the Seventh District; YOUR CONGRESSMAN MALCOLM TARVER Has been YOUR Congressman. Nobody inside or outside Geor¬ gia except you has controlled him in anything. IIIS RECORD ON LEGISLA¬ TION Has been largely the same as the records of other Southern Congressmen attacked by the Political Action Committee be¬ cause they have represented the people of the South. So far, the P. A. C. has not beaten one of them. HIS RECORD OF PERSONAL SERVICE Every person who has written or called upon him knows about this and those who know will speak. "Will HIS RECORD FOR ECONOMY Has indicated he has sympa¬ thy for the tax payer. He has not voted for everything any¬ body wants. CAMPAIGN MISREP¬ RESENTATIONS j Unsigned ads attacking Tar¬ ver’s record in five or six par¬ ticulars have been published in the papers of the district. In view of his many years of serv¬ ice, thousands of votes on ma¬ jor issues, and the part he had in important legislation, it is significant that attacks are limited to so few cases. Even these would not have been made had the splendid gentleman op¬ posing me been correctly ad¬ vised as to the facts. They are with reference to i these partic¬ ular charges: 1. Tarver voted for, not a- gainst, the soldiers’ VOTE bill. (Congressional Record, 78th Congress, 2nd Session, Volume 90, Part 1, Page 1229). 2. Reported as chairman of the committee writing the bill $7,984,900 for Crop Insurance for the present year and sup¬ ported it, instead of opposing it as so charged, while he express¬ ed doubts as to the success of the program. (Congressional Record, 79th Congress, 1st Ses¬ sion, Volume 6, Pages 2587 and 2588). 3. Not only has supported Ru¬ ral Electrification but brought the bill making available for R. E. A. loans for next fiscal year. (Congres¬ Record, 79th Congress, Session, Volume 4, Page 4. Voted for, not against, ap¬ which came from committee for Veterans’ Housing.
