F. Morrison. The writer had hoped that this would not be necessary, and that Mrs. Morrison could be ap >- pointed to finish the term of her late lamented husband. But as the law does not permit of this (if Mrs. Morrison desires to finish the term) we hope she may be elected without op¬ position for the place. This is rot written as the desire of The Times and its Publisher, but one who feels a personal preference in the matter and takes this opportunity to express his pre¬ ference. We do not even know whether Mrs. Morrison has a desire to fill out her husband’s term of office or not — but if she does, we’re for her. CONGRESSMAN LANHAM IS COMING TO TRENTON Our Congressman, Henderson Lanham, is planning to be with us for two days during our Court He will be found along with the rest of us—in the Court House. Mr. Lanham since the close of Congress has been visiting in the different counties in the district so that the people in the coun¬ ty can see him, without having to go to Rome, for any business they might have. This summer as he told you in his “Weekly Report’’ he has been keeping an office in the Post Office in Rome. x His visit to Dade will be during our Court Week when everyone who can be is at the County seat. Mr. Lanham will indeed be able to visit with a lot of Dade Countians on our first day of Court, Monday, Sept. 15th. A VALUABLE BOOKLET The Times is in receipt of a copy of “Strength For Living,” the story of how worn-out gul¬ lied lands have been transform¬ ed into green-clad landscapes, issued by the Georgia Agricul¬ tural Extension Service, Univer¬ sity System of Georgia and the TVA. It is a beautifully illus¬ trated pamphlet, chock full of useful information for farmers. We think every farmer in Geor¬ gia should have a copy for his very own—and they may do so by writing Georgia Agricultural Extension Service, Athens, Ga., and asking for a copy of Bulle¬ tin 541.

TAKE IT EASY, MR. PEDESTRIAN Every two minutes an Ameri¬ can pedestrian is injured by an automobile- Thirty-three times a day someone is run over and killed. It is human nature to wish to set the blame when tragedy occurs. occurs. Rarely, Rarely, however, however, can can an an accident be adequately described in terms of only one casual fact- or. In most instances it is the result of two or more contri¬ buting conditions or circum- stances -- violations or unsafe acts of drivers or pedestrians; or roadway, vechicular, driver or pedestrian defects. However certain facts cannot be denied. And those facts place a strong incident squarely on the shoulders of the man or woman on foot- The record shows that two out of every three pedestrians killed in mo¬ tor vehicle accidents were either violating a traffic law or com- miting an unsafe act. Crossing streets between intersections was a most flagarant violation, ac¬ counting for one half of the deaths of the violation pedestri¬ ans. Coming from behind park¬ ed cars was the next most seri¬ ous hazard. Other violations of traffic re¬ gulations or the common sense rules of safety in which men, women and children lost their lives included such foolish acts as crossing intersections against the signal, crossing intersections diagonally walking in the road¬ way, playing in the roadway. Two percent of pedestrian deaths were caused by persons LYING in the roadway I All of these ^violations could have been avoided. And if they had, thousands of lives — 12,200 last year, to be exact — could have been saved. Pedestrians continue to combine the twin evils of carelessness and deliber¬ ately taking a chance to concoct an evil brew of death and pain¬ ful injury. It is nothing less than justice that the victim of pedestrian violation is nearly always the man or woman who commits the unsafe act. So to you, Mr. Pedestrian, we say “Take It Easy." Yours is the responsibility of saving your life, a matter which should give you understandable concern- IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOE HAGGARD GADDIS In sad, bvjJ oving, memory of our dear son and brother, Joe Haggard Gaddis, who fell from', the rear of a truck on August 23, 1947. Today being September 3, lit¬ tle Joe would have been 8 years old. It has been a sad and lone¬ ly day without him, for we miss him so much. So sad and sudden came your call- Your sudden death surprised us all. An awful change in a moment fell, Without a chance to say fare¬ well. ' We often sit and think of you— and then of how you died. To think that we could not say goodbye Before you closed your eyes. You were taken away from us so suddenly; the shock words cannot tell The grief of a broken circle, of A home he loved so well. Our hearts are still torn and bleeding — Our eyes shed many a^tear, But God alone knows how we miss little Joe after twelve sad and lonely days. We want to thank everyone who came to call on us in awful sorrow, and the ones who brought flowers, and Revs. Conrad Morgan, W. B. Shirey and F. M- Ott, for their comforting words to us. the McBryar Funeral Home. Sadly missed by daddy and mother. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Gaddis, Phyllis Jean, Sarah Reba Sue and Gerry Lou Gaddis, Sisters.

Married On the evening of the 41th, by Rev. W. J. Callan, at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. John Cantrell, of Mississippi to Miss Mary M. Hale, of this county. Marriage implies something more than two persons living together under one roof. It means mutual concessions; it means mutual help; it means supreme loyality to the combin¬ ed interests of a father, a mother and the children. Facts and Fancies For The Fair. Two sizes of buttons are used for most costumes. County Agent’s Column October 7th is the date for the Dade County Livestock and Poultry Show. Last year, you remember at the show, 4-H Club members exhibited pullets from their poultry flock. At the show this year, of course the main attraction will be the 4-H Club exhibit. 21 boys and girls are in the poultry chain. They were furnished 100 chicks each and they will show 12 pullets they have grown out. These pullets be will sold after the show to the highest bidder and the money retained in 4-H Council fund for a similiar project next year. the poultry In addition to show, snow ytmum plans are --------- now under way to t nc i u de exhibits of canning sewing, homecraft, beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs and sheep. Also farm crops, such as corn, cotton, vegetables. Would like to urge everyone to be selecting their exhibits. Further details of the fair will be announced. * * * The best time to put out fires is before they happen- Wood¬ lands will soon be dry and will readily burn over If fires get into them. Every day Georgia farmers lose $23,000 from forest fires, nearly $10,000,000 a year. This is a big loss but it can be pre¬ vented if people will only take a few steps before the fire breaks out and are organized to effi¬ ciently fight ones that are start¬ ed accidentally- Practically all of our woods fires are caused by man and practically all of them are caus>- ed by carelessness or indiffer¬ ence. To prevent or keep down fires during the fall and winter months the following practices are suggested: 1 Don’t allow wild or uncon- trolled fires on the farm. burn organic material—it should be turned back into the soil, 2. Build a firebreak at your boundry. Three rounds with a ( good turning plow will provide a j break. If the land is steep, use a ra ke. 3 Ask your neighbors to join y0 u in not having any fires. caution all workers on the farm an d others, such as hunters, to be careful with fires. 4. Ask your teachers to help by teaching forest fire tion in the schools. Trains are very plain this year. There are three Japanese lady students at Vassar. Bright tints take the lead in nearly all of the mixed goods House polonaises are made quite bouffant, and are really long basques. Ladybugs of red enamel are the last charming substitute for buttons Of fifty members elected on the London School Board, nine are women. Neckties of a narrow band of fur fastened with a bright satin bow are pretty. Young women should set good examples, for the young men are always following them. If women had the the ballot what would she do with it? It isn’t long enough for a belt or big enough for a bustle. According to some of the Eng¬ lish fashion plates, we are threatened with a revival of the “waterfall” style of arranging the hair. Give a girl long eyelashes and small hands and she will put up with No. 6 feet, and marry all around curly-headed girls wear¬ ing ones and a half. You may meet with twenty men in the day who stutter, but you never heard of the woman who had and impediment of speech. A poet out West, describing Heaven, says—“It’s a world of bliss fenced in with girls.’’ Where is the man who won’t re¬ pent now? A conscience void of offense is an inestimable blessing, be¬ cause it gives a pleasure which no rancoring of malice can des¬ troy; it is proof against malig¬ nity itself, and smiles upon its most sanguinary efforts.

Tax Commissioner of Dade County, Georgia, and un- der the provisions of the laws of Georgia, it is necessary that an election be called to fill the un- expifed term of said W. F.

That’s the way we used to wear ’em. We could get some black elastic and have our wives make us some garters and be fixed right up for winter (wouldn’t need any garters for summer, because we wouldn’t be wearing any “stockings”)..I simply know of nothing that would be more enticing, especially to the ladies, than a bunch of fine looking gentlemen, including the writer^ Mr. Gates, Wayne Williams, Sam Hale, John Murphy, Graham Hale, Luther Allison, Martin Carroll, L. C. Adams, James Case,, Grover Tatum and others, with a blending array of flashy pants “bloused” over at the knegs, ex¬ posing our beautiful legs. I can just picture one of us, for instance Graham Hale, turn¬ ing his head quickly to recog¬ nize a “whistle” of some passing female. Wouldn’t it be wonder¬ ful to be “sought after” in that resepect? We men can get to¬ gether and show ’em a thing or two on the short trouser busi- ( ness. Of course, there would be For instance, in summer time, when we hav* to wash our feet on Saturday | nights, we would have to wash up a little higher on the leg. Too, the sweat bees, gnats, flies, etc., would have a better shot at us. But we could afford some disadvantages in order to enjoy all these other things. What would be more charming than Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Williams crossing the street . . . “Peggy”) ankles with a dress down to her and Wayne with trousers up to his knees? I’ll tell you now, it would be the greatest sensation since the days of the flying sau¬ cers. Let’s get into a huddle on this, men, and we’ll show these New York lettuce eaters how to regulate the length of our pants ... yes sir, we’ll show ’em a thing or two. * * * SAFETY LINES Remember always wherever you are When driving your car at night Be nice to the man in the other car And always dim your lights. * * * Personally Speaking from a po- « etical Standpoint: Wayne Williams, the Kyzer- Frazier man Owns the biggest building in town, Don’t know how he managed to do it . . . I guess he knew his way aroun’. Mr. W. G. Morrison, Jr., and daughter, Sherry, spent several days days last last week week with with Mr. Mr. Morri- Morri- son’s mother and sister, Mrs. W. G.
