Chances are that it is to put in some money on the Senior King and Queen. You haven’t forgotten that we want to crown them have you? Put in some money now and be there Thursday night, October 30th to back them up to the last. The money should be freely given because it will go for the benefit of the school. Old Man Snoop didn’t have line to snoop this week because of six weeks tests and the Hal¬ loween Carnival. There’s some¬ thing new in the news this week that will be old by the time it is finished but you will get to know the seniors in the mean- ime.

Paul Castleberry seems to en¬ joy English Class very much. Every day he is to be seen sit¬ ting behind Old Man Snoop < Ruble Livingston.) 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' to their cause and character.— Mary Baker Eddy.

Morganville We are always glad to see the beautiful month of May make her appearance.; she is bright and lovely and always brings with her a pleasing story. All is cheerful, the sky is blue above us, the grass beneath our feet so fresh and green; the earth awakes as from a deep sleep and 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. The Chattanooga office of the Security Administration, ten adjacent counties in and eight in North is located at 1008 Geor¬ Avenue.

The 8th of May is long 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. Mother and Father we are not capable of giving you any advice as we are younger than you but May is senior and when her plants and buds peep forth they seem to say work and when the plants yield and buds bloom they look as if they should say take leisure and enjoy, and we should learn from her a useful lesson.

You see I was getting ten cents a week for taking no sugar in my tea. and Bill Wilkins, he gets fifteen, and I want my rights. I’m a working man.” 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. “The steadily increasing in- 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. * * * Our Editor and Publisher, Mrs. Morrison, is putting a mighty fine paper, and this, is recognized by other news- j editors throughout the ... they set the Dade Coun¬ Times up as one of the out¬ weeklies of Georgia, rightly so. One policy our has establised for which should be highly commended keeping the subscription list to date. . . That is, when a “time” is out, his i is stopped. This is cer¬ the way it should be. It better to have 1,000 paid up to a publication than have 10,000 delinquent. W. JOHNSON’S BODY TO STATES The body of S 2/c Leon W. was among those on the | transport Joseph V.
