be freely given because it will
go for the benefit of the school.
Old Man Snoop didn’t have

Scoops on Old Man Snoop

gives out with any data on her¬
self here are a few choice bits.
Paul Castleberry seems to en¬
joy English Class very much.
Every day he is to be seen sit¬

Say Ruble who is Billy Frank?
Why be so secretive about him?
We heard a rumor about Ruble
and Scottie Wheeler, but it
seems to have stopped. Whats
wrong Scottie?
When unconscious of a mis¬
take, one thinks he is not mis¬
taken : but this false conscious¬
ness does not change the fact,
or its results; suffering and mis¬
takes recur until one is aw f ake'

AROUND TIIE FURNACE
Mark Hale says that a man
who won t take the Gazette has
not got the interest of the county
at heart, and that he needs re¬
generating. Correct.
L. S. Colyar, the superinten¬
dent of the furnace, is rusti¬
cating in Mississippi this week.
The output of the furnace
under the able management of
Mr. Dowling, is greater than ever
before.
Rev. C- M. Campbell preached
an interesting sermon last Sun¬
day night.
The furnace Sunday school
has been invited to join the
Rising Fawn Sunday school in a
picnic the 28th inst.
How mjiny of our subscribers
at the furnace will give us a
dollar for the church? Don’t
all speak at once.
Mr. Dempsey Hibbs, of Marion
County, Tenn-, has been visiting
his brothert, George.
Rev. T. C. Tucker will preach
at the furnace next Saturday
night at early candle light, and
Sunday at 11 o’clock a. m. Let
everybody attend. He will ad¬
minister the ordinace of baptism
Sunday morning at the ford of
the creek.

REPRESENTATIVE OF OLD
AGE INSURANCE TO BE
IN TRENTON SOON
Monthly Old-Age and Surviv
ors Insurance payments totaling
$78,470 were made in June of this
year to 5,240 residents of the 18-
county area served by his office,
according to Louis R. Stein, Jr.,
manager of the Social Security
Administration in Chattanooga.
Figures for Dade county showed
51 beneficiaries receiving $696
in the month of June.
Benefit Requests Increase
Applications for benefits re¬
ceived in the third quarter of
1947 showed a gain of 62% over
the same period in 1946, totaling
958 against 588 a year earlier.
The increasing number of work
ers reaching age 65 with an in¬
sured status was partially re¬
sponsible for the up trend. Then
too, wives of many of the work¬
ers who' have retired during the
seven years since benefits first
became payable are now reach¬
ing age 65 and requesting their
Old-Age Insurance.
Fund Totals Nine Billion
Although monthly Insurance
payments are going to some 5,-
200 persons, Stein is quite con¬
cerned over the fact that this is
but a fraction of the number of
potential beneficiaries in this
area. “If there were ever an
opportunity for community ac¬
tion to help againg workers this
is it—outstandingly so! We
have the money to pay benefits
—all that we ask before making
our payments is that the individ¬
ual be 65 or over and have work¬
ed long enough to qualify,” Stein
Many Delay Filing
“Our chief problem is to con¬
tact the potential beneficiaries
—many of whom are actually
cash income which they
worked and paid for. I
every worker reaching age
should realize that the time
come to establish his eligi-j
for Old-Age Insurance
if he has no immediate
to quit work and start
benefits,” Stein said.
Stein also urged survivors of
who have died to make
application for survivor
since they cannot be
retroactive for more than
months after the month
after the wage earner’s death.

clothes herself in green from

be remembered by me for it
was on that day we met our kind
friends and neighbors at Mr
A. B. Tatum’s for the purpose
of having a little May party it
was a fine day and we were glad
to meet each other, for now the
cold stormy days are over, gard¬
ens laid by and our peas matured
and it is now time for a little
sport. Our playground was very
nice the flowers sheding their
rich fragrance around us, the
birds carroling their sweetest
lap of melody and the soft re¬
freshing zephyrs were wafting to
us their sweet perfume. Mrs
Tatum prepared a nice dinner of
fresh peas and viands of all
kinds. Never did we enjoy our¬
selves better; all of these mes¬
sengers bear to us the pleasing
story that May has come.

should learn from her a useful
lesson.

LIBRARY SERVICE OFFERED
FREE TO MOST OF STATE
Rural Georgia—thanks to the
steady growng free library ser¬
vice —is educating itself through
acquiring the reading habit.
That fact is revealed in the
current issue of Georgia Progress
official publication of the State
Agricultural and Industrial De¬
velopment Board, which tells the
story of how books build a better
Georgia. County and regional
libraries now serving 126 of the
state’s 159 counties are contri¬
buting to Georgia’s progress in
many fields.
These libraries, together with
municipal libraries serving parts
of 19 other counties, provide
free public library service to ap¬
proximately four-fifths of the
state’s population. Eleven of
the libraries are regional, dis¬
tributing books to 25 counties
Georgia currently boasts 28
bookmobiles, operating in 39
counties. Only two other states,
Texas and Ohio, have more than
25 of the traveling libraries.
“These statistics,” Progress
said, “are in sharp contrast to
the Georgia of 1935 which pro¬
vided free public library service
in only 44 counties. Georgia had
no bookmobiles and no regional
libraries at that time. People
living in non-serviced areas could
borrow books only by writing the
State Library Commission in At¬
lanta to mail them books.”
For years the need for pro¬
viding more books for small
towns and rural readers was re¬
organized, but it was not until
1935 when the federal govern¬
ment offered WPA aid that the
state-wide movement was begun.
By 1939 the number of counties
with public libraries had in¬
creased from 44 to 134. After
aid was discontinued in
1943, the state approximated
in 1944 to enable the
to continue, later in-
creasing the grant to $150,00.
The first year (1944) 111 coun¬
ties qualified for state aid; 122
the second year, and 126 last
year. Through state, county
and municipal governments a
total of $718,061.09 is now avail¬
able for the work, the article
said. To qualify for state aid
a county must: (1) agree to serve
the whole county; (2) carry out
a program for continually im¬
proving the library service
through cooperat ,, _ between , the ,,
on
library, the schools, and the gen-
public; (3) have * certified
in charge, and (4) see
the library service is ad-
by a legally consti-
library board.

in books on the part of
rural and small town
suggests even greater
Comments
from the
SIDELINES
By
ELBERT
FORESTER
A release states that the price
of platium was increased this
week $3.00 an ounce. It now
brings $62.00 an ounce. Higher
level is due to improved demand
from jewelery and industrial
trade. Well, good for me!
thought I was acting wisely by
holding on to the precious metal
. . . Could have sold it many
times for around $55.00 and
ounce, but just figured the price
would go up. However, I have
checked upon the supply I have
on hand and it is less than 300
pounds . . . Guess it would be
good business to “cash in” now,
though, as the price might take
a nose dive to as low as $61.98
an ounce, who knows? I’ll play
safe while the safe playing is
good.

Was down at Cloverdale Sun¬
day ofter upon and called by to
see Byron Forester. Though
Byron, I’ll admit, is one of my
favorite cousins, he is always
“growling” about something.
For instance, Hettie, his wife
was telling me about Byron rais¬
ing some 66 bushels of corn on
an acre of ground. Well, I of
course thought that was power¬
fully good and told Byron that
he was really going to town, to
raise that much corn on a single
acre. “Yeah, that’s purty good,
I reckon,” Byron said, “but I’d
done better than that if the
'mons hadn’t got into it,” he
added- That brought on more
talk, however, and following a
couple of “whoops,” two fine coon
hounds came trotting around
from the back yard. One a
black and tan, the other a “red
bone.” “These old boys will take
care of the coons for me” Byron
commented. Frankly, if I’m any
ludge of coon hounds, these are
among the best. I promised
Byron that I would come down
some night and take a “round”
with him, and I plan to do that
very thing.
Be as it may. Byron, Hettie
and the children have worked
mighty hard. They have come
the hard way, but their labor
been crowned with consider¬
success. The fertility of the
has been greatly improved
and not only corn, but other
produce high yields . . •
higher than when Byron
fanning the land some
ago. Yes, it is a little un¬
usual for me to compliment a
but Byron is a “perfectly
one” and I see no reason
he shouldn’t be given at
an “A” on the progress he
made; much of which pro¬
has no doubt been made
severe handicaps.
