It is the law of Geor¬ gia that all children between to j the ages of 7 and 16 must go school. However, because so many disobeyed this law it was necessary to have someone to go around to find out why the chil¬ dren weren’t in school. This person is called the Visiting Teacher. When children are reported as not being in school and the teacher has done all that she can to try to get them to come, it is the duty of the Visiting Teacher to go to the home to find out the reason. Sometimes the child is sick, sometimes there is a problem which the Vis¬ iting Teacher and the child can work out together, sometimes the child just doesn't want to go to school and the parents don’t make the child go, or again it may be the parents who are keeping the child home to per¬ haps help with the work What¬ ever the cause may it is the duty of the Visiting Teacher to see that the children are back in school (except under unusual circumstances) and in case talk¬ ing to the child and the parents doesn’t bring results to take le¬ gal action. Mrs. H. S. Phillips, Dade’s Vis¬ iting Teacher, is working hard throughout the county to per¬ suade the children and their pa¬ rents that the children must at¬ tend school. Keeping the chil¬ dren home to help with the cot¬ ton picking or other labor a- round the farm is not a legal ex¬ cuse. Also laws for hiring school children during the school year have been made. It is illegal for anyone to hire children du¬ ring the school hours. When s^hoo 1 lets out for the day a child may work for you but only four hours and four hours means at farm work as well as .shop or factory. Tt is one of the things that Americans have been noted for 4 bat parents always want to give their children more opportuni¬ ties than thev had themselves We are ambitious for our chil¬ dren. Education is the first step in getting ah°ad in this world It. can make us better farmers as well as great statesmen, law¬ yers or doctors. What better opportunity for giving them more than w'e had. than to give them a free education. Let’s keep them in school. PROGRESS OF THE TRENTON WATER SYSTEM Little by little we begin to get improvements which give us a little more water in Trenton. This week two large storage tanks are to be installed and a pump in order that water can be pumped from the cave to the tanks. This should make enough of a reserve water supply to be able to have some water at all times. However, until the money from the City Water bonds which were validated last week is avail¬ able so that the system can be put in first class shape we may still have times we aren’t just satisfed with our water pressure. Angus Cattle Show at Atlanta, Oct. o 0 A BERDEEN-ANGUS cattle are sleek, smooth and compact, denetir.f .»■ fine beef-producing qualities as evident in these prize specimens. Ap zroxiinately 55 head have been entered in the annual Georgia Aberdeen Angus breeder’s show and sale which t'.cs place October th'- <v~ astern Fair Grounds, Atlanta, fi* RECREATION CENTER Once again the Recreation Center is without a home. So far with little support from the- adults of the community, a few have managed to answer the crys of the children of the county for a suitable place for supervised recreation. Every since the middle of the summer the children have gath¬ ered at the Dade High School grounds for outdoor play and later for roller skating in the gym. With almost no funds and very little encouragement from the adults, tennis rackets, volley ball and nets, darts, croquet sets and other outdoor equip¬ ment were secured. Later roller skates were bought by makng a loan from the bank which the children, by paying 25c to skate have already paid off. The children have certainly lived up to their part of the bargain. They were to appoint two of the older boys each even¬ ing to act as monitors to keep order. The adult in charge merely giving supervision and acting as chaperon This system has been faithfully carried out. Only twice during the many times that the Recreation Cen¬ ter has been opened has the chaperon had to call on the monitors or anyone else for dis¬ cipline. We feel this is quite a record and are assured by teach¬ ers who constantly deal with the children that it is almost a mir¬ acle. The point being that the child¬ ren so want this Recreation Center that they are willing to behave themselves and see that everyone else there does like¬ wise. Can we adults let them down by not getting together and finding some way that we can keep a Recreation Center open for them? HOME DRY CLEANING Home dry-cleaning mishaps increase during the winter when the homemaker’s are more confined to house. Only non-inflama- cleaning fluids should be for home dry cleaning. naptha or kerosene never, under any circum¬ be used. -o-- REMOVING GUM To remove chewing gum, use ice or egg white. If the is on fabric that will not water spot, rub it with ice. This the gum enough so that can be scraped or rubbed free- is also possible to soften the with egg white and then off with cool, soapy water. -o- TABLE ARRANGEMENTS On holidays, flowers add much gaiety at meal time. Vases table arrangement need to attractive in color, shape and An oblong or oval dish platter is excellent for the type of design desirable for tables. Cotton provided more than of all the cash farm in¬ in Georgia in 1924, but less one-fifth pf this income in just 21 years later. T«E DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1947.

CORRESPONDENCE Items of Interest from Various Places Trenton Having not appeared in our last issue I thought that I would weary you with a few locals of this and the surroundings. The Trenton High School met at the academy on the morning of the 14th prepared for a day of recreation, one that will long be remembered by the little children and young people of this place. They marched to Mr. G- W. Dodson’s spring to spend the day which was happily passed away. Mr. Editor, I wish you could have been with us on that occa¬ sion, it was grand and sublime. Mr and Mrs. Dodson threw open their gates, doors, and spring- house to make the little people happy, and the fathers and mothers of most of the school was there with baskets, boxes, and buckets all full of the dain¬ ties of life to enjoy the day with the children. The day was spent with much interest to those that were present, and especially to Messrs. McTeer and Sutton; I never saw t;wo men eat as much at one time. You bet I took my share and I thought George Dodson would kill himself nurs¬ ing his baby and eating; Geo. is a good nurse. Mr. J. B. Williams of this place was there with his box of rations and he had one extra box of marbles and you can guess whether we played or not. Mr. M. A. Tatum brought a sack full of croquet balls and mallets. Brad had lots to eat and made a good hand himself. I could not give the names of all who were present. The young ladles looked splendid, so Judge Bennett said. I suppose that Mr. J. W. Blevins and wife was there from the large gobbler that he brought home with him the day before. Don’t know where th*» sheriff got the gobbler but it was very nice at the picnic. Dr. W. E. Brock with his smiles was on hand as usual; the doc- Sand Mountain News Mrs. Una Belle Stone Bro. Joe Mayhew preached at the Church of Christ Sunday, delivering a really fine sermon. The series of evangelical serv¬ ices will begin at this church on Sunday, October 27. Bro. Cecil Williams will do the preaching, and everyone is cordially invited to come and hear the gospel. Mrs. Clarence Guffey is very ill at her home here. Mr. Bob Lacy is very ill in a Chattanooga hospital. Little Buford Clark is suffering with serious head injuries re¬ ceived when hit by a ball at school. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sharpton of Alabama spent the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs Lyman Daniel. Mr. and Mrs. Jlles Gass and little son, Arthur, visited Mrs. Una Belle Stone and family last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Winona Hixon and baby spent the week end with her pa¬ rents, Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Crisp. Mrs. Millie E. Daniel and Mrs- Una Belle Stone visited Mrs. Clarence Guffey and family Sat¬ urday afternoon. Bettle Crisp spent Sunday with Miss Lorene Horton. Junior Stone and his father- in-law, Mr. Brock, of Chattan¬ ooga spent Saturday with Mr. Stone’s brother Ernest and his family. Mrs Bob Lacy is visiting rela¬ tives in Chattanooga so as to be nearby her husband’s bedside. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Daniel of Chattanooga visited his pa¬ rents, Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Dan¬ iel, and family Saturday. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the kindness shown us during the illness and death of our sister, Mrs. Re¬ becca Ann Davis. We also wish to thank Bro. Hugh Price for his kind words of comfort, also the pallbearers and the Nation¬ al Funeral Home- J. A. Jenkins and Family. tor is a good hand to Issue pills. Dr. H. V. Davis was one of the gufests and looked as pleasing as a basket of chips set in fron»‘ of a stove. Mr. J. C. Smith has gone to Dayton, Tenn., looking after the legal business—tanbark. We learn that Mr. Andrew Brown has been robbing Peter to pay Paul, that is to say spoil one harrow to make another to harrow his wheat patch. Mr. Wm. Jenney, we under¬ stand, is walking over his corn filed with his hoe bidding defi¬ ance to any sprout. We learn that J. B. Perkins has the best field of oats In this vi- vinity, and we further learn that he was seen the other day in his corn field with a scrub broom on his shoulder. Like to know John what you were doing with the scrub broom? Mr Larkin Payner has erected a large scare-crow in his field Mr. Payne is a good farmer. Mr. C. M. Tatum’s corn looks well, but the sprouts are most too thick. Mr. John Loms is fearful that his straw trade will fall short this year, owing to the rust on his wheat. Mr. L. W. Payne’s clover patch is all turned to weeds. We notice that Mr. Lookout Long is taking roundance on his field of corn. I suppose that Mr. J. W. Cure- ton is mixing things from the looks of his wheat—half cheat. Too many mules to pasture Col¬ onel. Whenever you hear anybody that we will not have a good time at the close of the High School at this place all you have tc do is to come and see for yourself. We are looking for¬ ward to a good time. It will be well for you to look out for that day and not let it pass, for if you do you will miss a grand treat and something good to eat for the ladies off this place are excellent cooks. I would like to write more but I am sleepy.— Itemizer. Rangers Report SUMMARY OF NORTH GEORGIA RANGERS’ SCHOOL DISCUSSIONS Mr. A. R. Shirtey, Director of the State Department of For¬ estry, was the first speaker af¬ ter the formal opening of the school. Mr. Shirley pointed out that the Ranger’s place in the State Forestry Program is most Important for they hold the key places—that of fire protection. There are approximately seven million acres under organized fire protection In Georgia. There are, however, fourteen million or more acres not under organ¬ ized fire protection. These must have this protection. Timber, Mr. Shirley stated, is the largest single income crop in Georgia, providing $275 mill¬ ion a year gross income. Most people in the counties just do not know how much the forests mean to them. The Ranger is the logical person in the county to let the people know what fire protection for the forests means since the people in the county know him. The first full day of the school was taken up with County Unit Organization and the Educa¬ tional Program. Suggestions were made for the bettement of the educational program. In the evening, Mr. Fred Mc¬ Intyre, the FBI representative basic techniquesforest ayw ighH from Atlanta, gave an informa¬ tive talk on the basic techniques that the FBI use in investigating. The second day discussions were devoted to the Detection of fires and the Communications system. Again Rangers gave their experiences and there were discussions. The third and last day was devoted to general discussion of what had been heard, stressing the importance of the education¬ al program and immediate in¬ vestigation of the cause of the fire. All who attended reported, much helpful information had. been gained from attendance at the school. Comments from the SIDELINES By ELBERT FORESTER We read where the Citizens Food Committee has abandoned “chickenless” Thursdays. Truth of the matter, the particular rea¬ son for “laying off” the “Shang¬ hais” for at least one day each week was to conserve grain in order for more to be sent over¬ seas. But, the results were, while the poultry was being spared one day each week, they were filling their craws with the pre¬ cious grain just as they did on any other day—thus, no more poultryless Thursdays. In other words, it is reasonable to believe that an enormous amount of grain could be saved if we just “hauled off” and killed all the chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc. Reckon we could afford to do this though, in order to supply foreign countries with grain? * * * I am informed that the Tren¬ ton water system bonds are a- bout to be validated and plans for an up-to-date system are well under way. One official tells me that when the water system is completed, a water main will be extended as far north as New England and to any other section where such a line will pay its way. Sounds like a mighty fine project. Un¬ der present conditions, in the event of a “bad” fire in Trenton —there just wouldn’t be any Trenton. * * * If anybody happens to see a white pig about the size of an over-sized wood rat running at large, the chances are it belongs to John Murphy, Treasurer. The reason, several days age I sold John a couple of small pigs (“sight unseen”). He came ter them the following and after something like a two- hour chase over an area of some j 40 acres, one of the swines was caught barehanded. The other one deliberately ran off and left us. John took the apprehended home, stating that he would \ come back for the other. This he did, but the “other one” has not been seen since. Now, John’s theory is that I have sold these same pigs to a number of peo¬ ple on the same conditions he bargained for them. That is, buyers agreed to pay so much and then be unable to catch purchase- He even went so far as say he could produce a list of folks who had bought as he had and then failed to catch either of ’em. He con¬ however, that he is lucky to get the one. As a matter of fact, I think he is. I was born and reared on a farm. I have chased everything from a flying squirrel to a red fox, (from the shirt-tail age to 10 years ago at least) and never have I seen any four-legged animal equal this pig in velocity. To match his speed with a gray hound, it take many of the gray tribe to convince him that wasn’t backing up. I would his speed only to that of ; the “flying saucer.” Only the of which has been scan¬ seen by a very few. FOR SALE—One O. I. C. Pig about fourteen weeks old, full life, very active and alert.

WINTER MEALS Frozen foods, especially frozen fruits, can add nutritive value and variety to meals during the coming winter months. These frozen foods will prove a time saver for the housewife, too, for much of the preparation for cooking is done and it takes less time to cook frozen vegetables.
