CHAPTER FIVE
She sat starring straight ahead

twinkling electric lights swam
about in a bed of tears that
hung around her eyes. “I’m

“I was an idiot to let my starved
heart and empty stomach

few minutes.” The old

whelming the brief

anew of how helpless and
less a woman’s will power
be against the world caused
to almost swoon in her sad
row of mind and body and

self, “of having a heart

time flaming high with an

About Dade County
Bookmobile Service
Bookmobile service began in
Dade county in October, 1944.
Since that time 23,453 books
have been circulated throughout
the county. The bookmobile
visits all the schools of the coun¬
ty and has home and store de¬
posits in all communities. These
books are free for all Dade coun¬
ty residents. The use of the
books has been - good in most
communities and there has been
a gradual increase in the circu¬
lation of the books since the ser¬
vice began.
Dade county is a part of a
three-county library unit. The
three counties, Walker, Dade
and Chattooga, make up the
Cherokee Regional Library. By
cooperating with these other
counties, Dade county is allowed
to have the use of a bookmobile
to travel throughout the county
and to have the services of train¬
ed library workers. Also the
Region has a bookstock of 18,-
000 books from which to draw.
The schools’ use of the serv¬
^ ice Hast year was good, 6,741
books having been circulated at
the schools during the school
term. Bookmobile service is not
intended to take the place of a
school library, but is used to
supplement the existing school
collection. In this way more
reading material is made avail¬
able to the pupil and a greater
variety of teaching material
may be had by the teacher.
The Lions Club formerly as¬
sumed partial responsibility for
sponsoring the service. This
sponsorship was discontinued in
April. It is necessary now for
some other agency or group to
sponsor the service. If you or
your community wish to make
some kind of contribution to the
continuation of the library serv¬
ice in Dade county, will you
please get in touch with L. M.
Allison, who is the local treas¬
urer of the Dade County Library
Board, and tell him what your
j group will be able to do?
Of the 159 counties in Geor¬
gia, only a few have no public
library service. Are we as Dade
county citizens going to let our
county go into the column of
counties with no library service?
A meeting of the Dade County
Library Board is being called for
Wednesday night, August 14, at
8 o’clock in the County School
Superintendent’s office in Tren¬
ton. Any citizens who are in¬
terested in library service for
Dade county are invited to at¬
tend. The Library Board is com¬
posed of O. C. Dyer, L. M. Al¬
lison, J. M. Carroll, A. W. Peck,
Mrs. J. M. C. Townsend, Mrs. E.
A. Ellis, and Roy Morgan.
The bookmobile will make its
regular schedule in the county
August 13, 14 and 15.

Marine Corps
Recruiter To Be
In Trenton Saturday
• .......... ■
Georgia’s Marine Corps Head¬
quarters has announced that
Sergeant David K. Andrew of
the Marine Recruiting Service
would be in Trenton this Satur¬
day, August 10, to accept men
for enlistment in the Marine
Corps. i ,j -
Sergeant Andrew, a veteran of
the 1st Marine Division, will es¬
tablish temporary headquarters
in the Post Office Building. His
office will be open from 8:30 a.
m. to 4 p. m.
Men accepted at the tempora¬
ry office here will be taken
to Atlanta at Government ex¬
pense for final enlistment. Af¬
ter enlisting they will be trans¬
ferred to Paris Island, S. C., for
eight weeks recruit training. At
the end of this training they will
receive a ten-day furlough.
In an interview with the Ser¬
geant he said, “Today, the Ma¬
rine Corps offers young men be¬
tween the ages of 17 and 30 the
greatest opportunies to be found
in the world. Not only do the
Marines, America’s Modern Min-
utemen, travel to many parts of
the world guarding American
lives and property, but they also
are getting a chance to further
their education while they travel.
This is made possible through
the excellent system of the Ma¬
rine Corps Institute.” And the
Sergeant added with a gleam in
his eye, “The high pay we’re get¬
ting now really adds up fast.”
Before he left The Times of¬
fice, he expressed the belief that
the young men in Dade county
would make good Marines. “Any¬
way, we shall see Saturday
whether or not these Dade boys
are ambitious and want to go
places,” he chuckled as he turn¬
ed to leave.

Prepare Houses Now
For New Layers,
Agent Advises
This is the time to prepare
laying houses and laying house
fixtures for housing new laying
hens, County Agent L. C. Adams
said this week.
Dirt and dust should be re¬
moved from the floor, walls,
nests and other fixtures in the
laying house and the floors
should be scrubbed with lye
water solution, he advised.
Recommended solution for the
lye-water solution is one ounce
of lye to each gallon of water,
the agent pointed out. Roosts,
dropping boards or pits should
be painted with corbolineum or
gas tar to kill the mites.
“When pullets are moved from
outdoors into the confinement
of the laying house during hot
weather, the house should be
opened to give maximum ventil¬
ation so that the pullets will not
suffer from the heat,” he ad¬
vised. If pullets have not been
vaccinated against fowl pox, this
should be done.
“Old hens should be replaced
completely with pullets each fall
if possible,” Mr. Adams declared.
“Pullets will come into produc¬
tion and lay during the fall and
winter months when egg prices
are good. Hens completing a
year of production will go out
pf production during the fall
and early winter months.”
