THE VISITING TEACHER
Last week's paper carried our
first article by the new Visiting
Teacher. 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.

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?

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-

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.—

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

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.
