Trenton To Have
An Air Field
Something new has been added
to Trenton’s list of accomplish¬
ments. Over on Jack Sell’s field,
just south of the Sittons Mill on
Lookout Creek, you will find a
landing field which will be ready
for use in approximately a week.
The field Is in good shape, but
not good enough for the ones
who will be setting an Aeronca’s
wheels down on shortly.
It is the plan of the young men
responsible for this move to put
Trenton on the map, to use the
strip for their own pleasure.
Later on, passengers will be
taken up for a small fee. There
are five members of the club
which bought the plane and
originated the idea, but Harold
Cox's crew helped make the strip
possible by grading it off and
tearing down a few interfering
fences. John Tatum, Roy Mc-
Bryar, James Milton Case, Martin
Smith of Head River, and a Mr.
Jackson from Lookout Mountain
are all veterans who took the
training course at LaFayette
under the G. I. Bill of Rights.
This course was begun February
5th of this year, and has pro¬
vided several- of the men their
private pilot’s license which will
enable them to get a commercial
pilot’s license. The rest are not
allowed to land on this field
because they haven’t licenses,
but they will soon remedy that.
Other flyers are Tom Sims and
Milt Case.
Sunday afternoon, Martin
Smith, who has his own plane,
provided onlookers a thrill
when he brought his aerital
vehicle down for a landing. Al¬
though the Trenton flyers al¬
ready have their own plane
which is now at Trion, they plan
to finish the strip completely
before trying to use it.
A T-shaped hanger is under
constructon which will house
only one plane.
A subject which has been wide¬
ly discussed is whether the creek
will rise enough to wash the
hanger away. Heavy rains in
the past have failed to make
the field useless because the sod
has held up well, and the flyers
have reason to believe that the
creek will not carry the hanger
away if it rises, and in that
case, the plane can be harbored
at Trion or LaFayette.
UNIVERSITY TO GET VETER¬
INARY SCHOOL BY SEPT-
The University of Georgia is
to have a School of Veterinary
Medicine after all. The State
Board of Regents has announced
that it is proceeding with plans
to establish the school next Sep¬
tember. It will offer a four-
year course and will be headed
by Dr. T. J. Jones as dean.
The Regents turned an archi¬
tect’s report estimating the cost
of preparing and equipping the
school building at $1,800,000 over
to Acting Governor Thompson
for final approval- The school
will have room for about 200
students and tuition will be $75
per quarter for state residents
and $175 per month for out-of-
state students.
Commenting on the action,
Chancellor Raymond Paty de¬
clared that Georgia has been
losing about $5,000 000 a year
in livestock deaths that could
have been prevented. He looked
upon the establishment of the
new school as promising.

Sunday Crash Injures
Mrs. Martin Nethery j
New England was the scene of!
another collision Sunday at 6 P.
M. which involved three cars,
one of them driven by Mrs- Mar¬
tin Nethery, wife of Maj. Nethery
of Trenton, who is now in the
Air Corps Reserve.
The accident occurred as Mrs-
Nethery was returning from
Chattanooga after taking her
husband there. A car parked on
the hill just south of Dave L.
Brown’s store made it necessary
for a north bound car of Negroes
from Alabama to go around it
Three southbound cars were
struck in succession by the Ala.,
car, Mrs. Nethery's car being the
third. The front was smashed
in, and she received minor in¬
juries over her left eye- The
Alabama car was missing a front
left wheel as a result of the
accident.
The five colored entertainers
were enroute to Engel Steadium
for a ball game. They expressed
regrets that one of the cars
kept going and they lost their
front wheel. They were fined
costs in Judge Carroll’s Court
Monday morning.
Maj., and Mrs. Nethery are
visiting his mother, Mrs. Grace
Nethery at her home in Trenton-

AUTO BURNS SOUTH OF
TRENTON TUESDAY EVE.
Nothing but the charred skele¬
ton remains of a blue 41 Buick
sedan which burnt about one-
fourth mile south of Trenton
city limits Tuesday afternoon.
The owner was unidentified, but
the car was from Hamilton
County, Tenn. Too-tight brakes
caused the complete loss of the
insurance covered automobile-
Rutledge - Talley towed the
wreckage in, and is holding it
until representatives from the
insurance company investigate.
Chromium and the parking
lights on the front end are the
only remains worth salvaging.
In Recorder’s Court
No Cases
Recreation Program Opens on School
The opening of Trenton’s first
recreation center got under way
Tuesday night, and the Advisory
Committee is happy to report
that it was a success! Because
of the tennis court already in
use, and the lighting facilities,
plans were changed Tuesday
morning to operate on the school
grounds. School officials are
debating as to whether roller
skating will be allowed in the
gymnasium. If so, this location
will be more suitable than the
Masonic Hall, which has been
condemned and is not large
enough for a skating rink.
Fifty boys and girls between
the ages of 7 and 25 cooperated
beautifully in the first attempt
at a recreation program. Mrs.
J. M. Carroll, director, and Labon
Jones, one of the Advisory Com¬
mittee were pleased at the num¬
ber attending. This location
seems to be more suitable than
the Masonic property. Inad¬
equate sports equipment is the
main gripe now, but another
week or so will take care of this.
Equipment for Tuesday night
was: one dart board, with nine
darts, one badminton set, one
bingo set, one pair boxing

tisements for bids have already
gone out on the project, which
is expected to cost about $90,000.
Cost of the projects will be
shared between the State and

to the State Highway Director,
who pointed out that this is one
of several projects announced at
this time which are proposed
where construction has been

Published Weekly—Since 1901,
Will Fix Jekyll’s
Value On September 8
At the request of attorneys for
the owners of Jekyll Island, the
appraisal of the property will
not be considered by Glynn
Superior Court until September
8. Attorneys for Jekyll Island
cl..b and F. R- Condone, owners
of the property, asked the con¬
tinuance after the State had
amended its condemnation
action to acquire the island to
join both in the same case- The
appraisers will make a report to
Judge Gordon Knox on Sept., 8.
Judge Knox ignored an in¬
junction sought by Represent¬
ative W. H. Lovett of Dublin
against the State Park Author¬
ity and the State Parks Depart¬
ment to prevent acquisition of
the island, as directed by the
General Assembly and author¬
ized by Governor M- E. Thomp¬
son.
The court action by Lovett was
heartily welcomed by Acting
Gov. M. E. Thompson, State
Auditor B. E. Thrasher, Jr., and
Attorney-General Eugene Cook,
last week. All concurred in the
belief that the move by the
wealthy Georgian would clarify
the entire Jekyll Island situation
by throwing the matter into the
courts.
Commented Gov. Thompson:
“I am so glad that the issue on
Jekyll Island is now out of the
rumor gossip stage and is into
the courts. The courts will be
able to make an official record
of all the issues involved. I
have always had great
for the courts and their de¬
cisions.”
State Auditor Thrasher’s com
ment on the suit was succinct:
“I consider the present
uation where all the actions
taining to the purchase of
Island are placed before
courts of this State to be
wholesome situation for the
izens of Georgia, in that
action will be passed on by
interested parties for the
welfare of the State.”
Attorney General Cook
called attention to the fact
he was acting In accordance
legislation enacted by the
eral Assembly and by
of the proper State

NUMBER 28.
July 20 To 26 Set
For Observance Of
Farm Safety Week
Farm people in Georgia were
called upon this week by Direc¬
tor Walter S. Brown of the Geor¬
gia Extension Service to join
farmers throughout the nation
in the fourth annual observance
of National Safety Week, July
20 to 26.
He pointed out that President
Truman has proclaimed the week
as National Farm Safety Week
and that an effort will be made
to reduce farm and farm home
accidents and to call attention
to year-round safety measures
that can be adopted to prevent
accidents.
In his proclamation, President
Truman declared that “more
fatal accidents occur in agricul¬
ture than in any other occupa¬
tion and . . . caution and intel¬
ligent effort on the part of every
farm family in the land will less¬
en the suffering and economic
loss caused by accidents, and the
coordinated observance by all
our people of a week dedicated
to farm safety will effect an im¬
mense saving to our country.”
The President called upon the
nation to observe National Farm
Safety Week “as a spearhead to
year-round farm safety pro¬
gram” and he requested “all
persons and organizations con¬
cerned with agriculture and
farm life to cooperate in the ob¬
servance of this fourth annual
National Farm Safety Week.”
According to Director Brown,
machinery, livestock and falls
are the most frequent sources of
non-motor vehcile fatalities a—
mong farmers. Accidental
deaths of farm residents total¬
ed 16,000 in 1945, eighty percent
more than 1944. An increase in
motor vehicle and farm home
accidents was responsible for the
increase, he pointed out.
Director Brown said that farm
families should learn three
things when' planning a safety
program: their
1. What hazards menace
lives at home, at work and on
the highway. the
2. What each member of
family can do to eliminate as
many of these hazards as pos¬
sible-
3. That carelessness on the
part of any member of the fam¬
ily perils the lives and happiness
of all.
