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.

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.

home in River Falls, Alabama.
Mr. Thomas had been in his us¬

family, and to attend the funer¬
al rites, which have not as yet

Mr. Thomas, with Mrs. Thom¬
as, have visited Trenton fre¬
quently as guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Dyer, and made many warm
friends in Dade county, who will

regret.

the loss of her aged father.
