county. Numbers ^ citizens
have been brought before the
Court of Ordinary and Justices
of the Peace in this district,
charged with infractions of the
traffic laws. lo¬

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.

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.
