XEDITOIAL^ DAVIS COMMUNITY Davis community, nestled around Davis high school, atop Sand mountain, where only a few farm families reside, has dem¬ onstrated to the people of Dade county what can be accom¬ plished in improvement of their community when a whole-heart¬ ed, co-operative efforts is made by its citizens. Settled by our pioneer citizens, more than 100 years ago, Sand mountain remained undeveloped in an agricultural way until recent years, because the soil was considered taa poor for profitable cultivation, and its inhabitants made their livelihood by the sale of lumber, railway crossties and tanbark, which w,ere plentiful and easily obtained. However, with the coming of many of our splendid citizens from other and more progressive communities, new life was added, new farms were cleared, modern homes constructed, and scientific farming methods adopted, which has made the table¬ land on Sand mountain the fruit and vegetable area of Dade county. > Spot In their work of making Davis community the Garden of Sand Mountain, the citizens have not neglected to provide for the education of their children. In the center of this community stands the beautiful Davis high school building, staffed by an efficient corps of 11 teachers, and an enrollment of more than 400 students. An active Parent-Teachers Association, organized some four years ago, has rendered valuable assistance to management of the high school, and under their direction a modern cafeteria to provide hot, nourishing lunches to the children, is being operated. At the beginning of 1946 the Parent-Teachers Association of Davis Hi entered the Chattanooga Area Community contest, and although there were forty contestants, many of which were much larger, they w on 9th place and were awarded a cash prize of $75.00 Citizens of Davis community and members of their Parent- Teachers Association have won the admiration of every public- spirited citizen in Dade county. They have accomplished splen¬ did results through co-operation, an object lesson that many other of our county citizens should learn. ■Their splendid work will continue to grow greater through the years, and they deserve the sucqesss they halve achieved. -:x:- FARM BUREAU FEDERATION DEMANDS OPEN SHOP Mr. H. F. Wingate,, president of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation is a bitter foe |of the “Closed Shop,” as it is now enforced by the leaders of the Labor Unions in Georgia and throughout the nation. In a letter being received by members of the Georgia Farm¬ ers’ Federation, President Wingate states, "that enforcement of these undemocratic practices by labor unions is depriving free Americans of the right to work without paying tribute to some high handed (labor leader whose greatest interest in the labor¬ ing man is measured by the dollars he receives from the unions, he autocratically rules.” President Wingate is requesting members of the Georgia Farmers Federation to write or otherwise contact their local Representative in the General Assembly, which convenes on January 13, 1947, and demand a law be enacted that will abolish the Closed Shop contract in Georgia. Unless this is done the progress of our industries and freedom of our citizens will be come further jeopardized by radical labor dictators. The Times is in hearty accord with 'President Wingate in his effort to stamp out this unholy and un-American practice- During the years of war, when haste was paramount in the manufacturing of war material, these radical labor leaders were allowed to enforce their demands upon the citizens of the na¬ tion so easily, that in their arrogance they came to believe %heir directives w-ere supreme to law. In witness to this, note the arrogance of John L. Lewis in his defiance of a Federal Court injunction against ihim and calling a strike of the Soft Coal Minirs Union. Lewis had evidently come to believe that the ,coddling of his unions during the emergency of war, was an acquiescence of the American people to his demands. However, the union dictator was finally made to realize the weight and power of an outraged public, and called off the strike, pending a ruling of the U. S. Supreme Court. \ We believe that the working men of our nation have a right to organize and strike when their just and reasonable demands are at stake; but we also believe that the citizens of these grea'; United States have rights, equal to the members of any or union, and that these rights should be protected against croachment by selfish men. In justice and fairness to the millions of citizens who not union men, and who have no desire to become a (member of a union, we heartily agree with President Wingate, that Closed Shop now being enforced by labor unions should abolished. We also believe that the Congress of the United States enact laws that will protect our country against strikes, especially those that may cause suffering and of our nation. Such laws are in the making, and hope will be enacted in the we very near future.
