TUBERCULOSIS The annual drive to stamp out tuberculosis is now It is appalling to realize that is estimated that there are 000 persons in the U. S. who a disease that nobody need Even this large figure is smaller than in 1907, when first drive for funds was held One of the reasons for this that part of the donated has been used to keep the lic informed about T. B. It far better to know how we prevent a disease than to the money, heartaches and fering in curing those should never have contracted it Part of the funds is used look for infected persons. rays and examinations are ed here. Treatment and care of who are sick take more This is done at home and in pitals where there are not enough available beds and waiting lists are long. There is a rehabilitation gram which takes more This may include therapy, aptitude study, tional training, job training placement. Until recently Dade has had too many facilities for ing in T. B. work. since we have had our Health Nurse, she has had mobile x-ray machine up several times and many in county have been Also the opening of Baty pital in Rome has made beds available for those w r ho hospitalization. Surely all of us will want help in this tuberculosis and will give generously.

Deer Head News , 1 The general health of this community is good; James and Johnny Austin have been sick for some time, but at this writing they are convalescing. Since you received a letter from Deer Head, the white angel of death has visited us and carried to the rea l ms of eternal bliss some of our best and dearest friends. Corn crops at present look promising. Not many days ago I met Mr. —well it doesn’t matter who he v/as he looked sad when I asked him what was the matter, he answered that “he would not have any biscuits this year,” so you see Mr. Editors, that wheat is a failure. Jess Adkins happened to bad luck the other day, he was haul¬ ing bark and his mules become frightened and ran away leaving him skating on his back down the steeps of Puddin’ Ridge, but was not seriously damaged only the loss of his shirt. We had the pleasure of listen¬ ing to an excellent sermon de¬ livered by Rev. James Newby, the second Sunday in July. We hope Mr. Newby will give us another call soon. W. O. Smith cut his foot very badly, but is able to get about with the aid, of a cane. I can’t imagine why Mr. Kil¬ lian wants us Coveites to come to Texas; we have plenty to eat, wear, and pure water to drink, and above all good health. We would like for Mr. Killian to ex¬ plain why he wishes us to leave a good home and seek some western land where water is a perfect stranger. We would be glad that every body would take the Gazette, for LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir: The Rising Fawn school was conspicuous by its absence in the recent article on “Progress In Dade County Schools.” Even the colored school had a nice paragraph. Us patrons of the Rising Fawn school feel that there is more than one reason why we were left out. Tax pay¬ ing time is here again and those of us who have paid our taxes find them doubled—to pay the school money. Why didn’t the Rising Fawn school get some of that money, when all the other schools got so much, and we have to pay just as much as if we were getting our share? We asked this $64 question before. If the Trenton school is so crowded, why wasn’t some of their ninth graders brought down here, where there was an extra room and some books, too? Why are the Rising Fawn teachers always the last to be hired? We used to have over 200 children in school. When and why did we lose so many? The people in Rising Fawn know we have the prettiest school grounds in Dade county, with plenty of room to play ball, and for the little ones a play house, and all of them can stu¬ dy good because it is off the main road. We love our teachers and we didn’t want to lose any of them, and we love our children. We don’t want any more skids put under our school, nor any more deals put over us. Bondie Taxpayer. There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows—Anonymous. The number of farm trucks in Georgia in 1945 was 60 per cent greater than In 1940. THERE IS A FOOD EMERGE--^' iili i BECAUSE... 1. Thi* year Western Europe has had the lowest per-capita crop yield in recent history. 2 . In addition, there was a 900,000,- 000 bushel loss in our own corn crop this year. 3 . This means millions of unfortu¬ nate people, in countries friendly t o us, will go hungry this winter, r i your part in saving food. A p'.'hr.c service project rf The Advertising Cow ~il it /A f « \ ★ a home paper is more intersting than all the others combined. Yours truly Rattlesnake. Personal Capt. J. P. Bond, was in our midst this week. Genial W. B. Amos, of Oolte- wah, paid the villiage a flying visit this week. Mrs. Sallie Rodgers was in town this week. Mrs. Rodgers was on her way to Porterville. Glad to see her looking so well. Mr. J. C. Warner, wife and two sons, arrived at the Fawn this week, and will remain some time. Mrs. G. L. Williams of ‘^exas, paid her brother, Mr. L. S. Tid¬ well a visit last Week. Mr. J. M. Cantrell and wife, left this week on a visit to Can¬ trell’s Cross Roads, Tenn. Bear in Mind That the school which opens at this place on the first Monday in next month will be entirely free for the first three months. All between the ages of six and eighteen, residing in the county, can take advantage of this. The success of the school is assured. We are all united and working hard. So Cheap Always call on J. W. Cowart and get great bargains, as he deals exclusively in bitters and family groceries which he buys for strict cash. Do not fail to see me I want all your beef, mutton, chickens, eggs, butter, vegetables, green corn and will pay the highest cash prices in groceries, script or cash. Do not fail to go to Iron Works and see Cowart before you sell your bart¬ er, if you do you will lose money. j. w. Cowart.
