Fi unds For Bookmobile Coming In Slowly Few reports have come in on the progress of the work that is being done to raise funds for the continuation of the Book¬ mobile. If this money is not forthcoming, the bookmobile service will have to be discon¬ tinued. The Bookmobile visits all schools of the county and serv¬ ices the adults through commu¬ nity stops. A record of the books read by the schools is kept. Last year the West Brow school had the highest percentage of books read per pupils enrolled. Eight¬ een children in the schools of Dade county received certifi¬ cates for reading ten or more books during the year. Since the Bookmobile started coming to Dade county the to¬ tal book circulation has been 26,728. Clubs and organizations throughout the county are being asked if they will guaranty something each month, that by combining we may be able to pay the $50 a month which this service costs. We are also $300 in debt to them. Will those interested in help¬ ing along this worthwhile serv¬ ice, or those whose clubs have already decided what they are going to give, please get in touch with Mrs. Virginia Page at the Selective Service Office in Tren¬ ton?

Small Child Dies Of Lukemia Barbara Anne Smith, six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lowe Smith of New Salem, died at the Children’s Hospital in Chattanooga on Monday night, November 25. Last Thursday Mr. Super Moore had brought Barbara Anne to Trenton and Miss Bess Cureton immediately carried her to the hospital. Dr. Starr di¬ agnosed her illness as lukemia. Lukemia is the dread disease in which the white corpuscles destroy the red corpuscles in the body. There is no known cure for this disease, but continued blood transfusions can some¬ times prolong life for many months. Mr Grady Bradford of New Salem carried a number of friends to the hospital who of¬ fered to be the donors for blood transfusions for the sick child, but Barbara Anne was too weak to take the blood. Barbara Anne was born on August 24, 1940, and had just started school this fall. The bereaved parents have the sym¬ pathy of the entire community. You Can’t Tie the Heartstrings Of Ex- GI’s With Red Tape! You can’t tie the heartstrings of ex-GIs with red tape! When over 7,000 Southern vet¬ erans, attending a recent sur¬ plus automotive sale, learned there was a blind vet in their midst who wanted a station wa¬ gon—they voted unanimously to to let War Assets Administra¬ tion officials put his name at the top of the priority list. The vets even wanted to take up a collection to pay for the vehicle, but this move was nip¬ ped in the bud. Claude J. Be- denbaugh of Lake City, Florida, blind former GI, told them their action in giving him precedence in buying the station wagon would assist greatly in earning his own livelihood. Ordinarily, veterans are given their choice of vehicles accord- ing to the dates of their prior- jty certificates, a system adopted by WAA to asure equitable dis- tribution. The Floridan’s name was near the bottom of the list when, by acclamation, his for¬ mer comrades gave him first choice. Carl J. Hale, in charge of the automotive sale for WAA, said the 7,000 veterans attending the sale from six southeastern states was a record breaking crowd, attracted mainly by 264 passenger cars among the 2,500 vehicles for sale. DADE’S FIRST PATIENT ENTERS BATTEY GENERAL HOSPITAL FOR TUBER¬ CULOSIS SUFFERERS Charles F. Shaw, an aged cit¬ izen residing near New England, who has been a victim of tuber¬ culosis for the past several months, was entered as a pa¬ tient in the new Battey General hospital for tubercular patients, last week. The aged sufferer of the “dread disease," is the first patient from Dade coun¬ ty to enter the new tubercular hospital, which has recently been removed from Alto, Geor¬ gia, to the Battey General hos¬ pital, near Rome. The new State hospital for tu¬ bercular patients, was construct¬ ed by the U. S. War Department for the care and treatment of convalescent service men; and after its service as such had been completed, it was donated by the Federal Government to the state of Georgia who is now util¬ izing it as a home for tubercu¬ lar patients. Miss Bess Cureton, County Director of Welfare, made ar¬ rangements to have the aged in¬ valid enter Batty General Tu¬ bercular Hospital. NUMBER 47. Greyhound Lines To Add New Buses TWO OR MORE ROUND TRIPS TO BE MADE DAILY To relieve traffic congestion, and also to give Dade county citizens better service, the Southeastern Greyhound Bus Lines has inaugurated a “Tren¬ ton Special" bus schedule. There will be a bus leaving the Greyhound Lines’ terminal station, Chattanooga, during the morning and afternoon each day running to and from Tren¬ ton, making two round trips each day. No regular schedule has as yet been announced, pending authority of Sue U. S. Interstate Commerce Commission, which is necessary, we understand. The Times has been advised that this schedule will be an¬ nounced within a very short while, and that it may eventu¬ ally extend to Sulphur Springs and make an increased number of round trips daily, if patron¬ age justifies such extension. After suffering the inconven¬ ience of overcrowded buses, with standing room only, and oftentimes delayed schedules, during the war years, Dade county citizens will certainly ap¬ preciate this special service ren¬ dered our county, and we pre¬ dict that this appreciation will be demonstrated in a very ma¬ terial way in a liberal patron¬ age of our shoppers who visit the city almost daily, on busi¬ ness. DAVIS COMMUNITY P.-T. A. AMONG CHATTANOOGA AREA COMMUNITY CONTESTANTS On Monday, December 2, the Chattanooga Chamber of Corn- mere will give a dinner meeting, at which time the Judges of the Chattanooga Area Improvement contest will announce the win¬ ners. This Community Improve¬ ment contest is sponsored by a large number of Chattanooga’s prominent civic clubs, banks, re¬ tail merchants association and others, and there are cash prizes to the amount of $1,525.00 offer¬ ed the comunities of the area showing the greatest improve¬ ments made during the past year. Scoring is on home food sup¬ ply, maintenance and improve¬ ment of soil fertility and pro¬ duction, convenience and livabil¬ ity of the home and farm, and community organization and de¬ velopment. The live-wire members of the Parent-Teachers Association of the Davis community, atop Sand mountain, immediately west of Trenton, entered this contest, being the only community out¬ side the state of Tennessee to enter, and by their public spir¬ it and cooperative teamwork in the improvement of their com¬ munity, will evidently be among the cash prize winners. County Agricultural Agent L. C. Adams, his assistant, J. P. Dempsey, and three citizens of the Davis community, have been invited as guests to the banquet. MRS. T N. ORR ENTERTAINS LADIES’ SOCIAL CLUB Mrs. T. N. Orr, wife of Pastor Orr of the Trenton Methodist Church, entertained 24 ladies, wives of ministers presiding in the Chattanooga District, at luncheon last Friday.

The wives of the ministers of the Chattanooga District have organized a “Ministers’ Wives Social Club,” with social meet¬ ings with some member of the club semi-monthly. Being a member of the club, it was Mrs. Orr’s pleasure to entertain the entire organization at luncheon Friday. During the meeting with Mrs Orr the club elected officers to preside during the -coming year. Mrs. W. C. Calvert, wife of the pastor of the First Methodist Church, Chattanooga, being se ¬ lected.
