How long are we going to wait for Dade’s Democratic Executive Committee to meet to set the date for our primary? The can didates are beginning to an¬ nounce themselves. The voters throughout the county are be¬ ginning to think about the coming election and wondering who is going to run for each office. Voting for our leaders is a serious business and should be given thought. When all the candidates have qualified, we should be given time for con¬ sideration before the day of ex¬ ercising our privilege of selection. Traveling through the county in the winter time can be dif¬ ficult especially if this dry spell we’ve been having doesn’t con¬ tinue. There should be time enough for us to see and talk to all the candidates that we may be able to know which man we honestly feel will be best for the office for which he is run¬ ning. The Executive committees of the other counties in the dis¬ trict have met and set the date. What’s holding us up? Dade’s Executive Committee is J. O. Gass, Chairman, John Murphy, Richard Fricks, S. B. Amos, Early Ellis, Gus Forester, W P. Cole, J. E. Strawn R. S Townsend and W. T. McCauley. PLANNING PROGRAM FOR 1948 An article in this week’s Times tells of a district meeting of representatives from the plan¬ ning committees of each coun¬ ty which will meet in Rome on the 16th. Dade’s planning committee met on Dec. 17 and many sug¬ gestions weie made and a tenta¬ tive agricultural program for 1948 was drawn up. During the past years we have been progressing but progress¬ ing in a rather haphazard manner. One community would get together and work for the betterment of their cart of the county but we were not working for better conditions for the county as a whole. At this meeting last Dec. im¬ provements in recreation, soil, forestry, food supply, homes, livsetock, poultry and marketing conditions for the entire coun¬ ty were planned out for 1948. Watch for this program, which will be published in The Times when completed. NEWS AT A GLANCE PEOPLE AND THINGS IN Fuel oil users in Georgi warned that petroleum may run short before the win¬ ter is over. Oil executives said the present situation is not a- cute, but may become so unless current oil supplies are con¬ served. Georgia school teachers will be limted n tleir selection of text books to be purchased with state money. The State Board of Ed¬ ucation has adopted a program designed to reduce pressure from some textbook salesmen on school teachers. An estimated 733 lives were lost in Georgia during 1947 as a reult of traffic accidents. The Uuniversity of Georgia’s Atlanta Division will begin con¬ struction of a $2,500,000 10-story combination library and class¬ room building in 1948. Georgia’s newest educational instiutiotn, the Uuiversity of Georgia branch at Savanah. spent $369,044 during the first year of its operation. It is quartered in abandoned Army buildings. Attorney General Eugene Cook will make two to the next Legislature to avoid long litigation. They are: (1) that the attorney general be given power to ask the Georgia Supreme Court for directive opinions in matters the State Government, and (2> that a bureau of review, compos- ed of lawyers, be set up to study all bills to be introduced in the General Assembly. TIIE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1948. A TRIBUTE TO W. L. WILKINSON Another of my life-long friends and school mates has been called to his reward. How fast they are passing; how very few of us remain. When W L. Wilkinson passed away some weeks ago, Dade County lost one of its best citi¬ zens; one who stood for the things that were for the best interests of his county, his fam¬ ily and his friends, and who had I the courage to express and up¬ hold his honest convictions at all times. A native of Dade County, Bill Wilkinson loved his home coun¬ ty and was loyal to its interests, and watched its growth and de¬ velopment with much pleasure and satisfaction. Although handicapped because of a physical affliction during the past several years, it was a source of pleasure to him that he could spend his few remain¬ ing years in the home of his na¬ tivity, amid the mountains and hills so near and dear to him. An outstanding characteristic of Bill Wilkinson das his loyalty to his friends. Since our early boyhood days, more than three score years ago, Bill Wilkinson and I have been loyal friends. We grew up together as neigh¬ bors on adjoining farms and ittended together our first term ">f school at old Union Church. There our happy, carefree days were spent together, the inno¬ cent pleasures indulged in by farmer boys of those days. Only a few weeks before his oassing, it was my pleasure to spend a day in his home as his guest, and during those last short hours together, Bill and I reminisced to our hearts con tent. In retrospection we re¬ turned again to the happy days of our boyhood. We talked of our school days and our old school, mates, many of whom have long since passed on. We talked of the church meetings and of our loved ones who at¬ tended; we enjoyed again our many ’possum hunts, and the thrills we experienced as we plunged into the swimming hole in nearby Lookout Creek. We enjoyed again every pleasure we indulg'd in during those happy days. Time had for us turned backward in its flight. It was cur last meeting. A good citizen has gone, and his presence and activities will be sorely missed by those who knew him best and loved him most. He was a loyal friend, reliable and steadfast in all things; and though he suffered much from his affliction and inactivity during the closing years of his life, he never grew bitter or resenful. He bore his afflicion as a true soldier bears his wounds of battle, and he leaves scores of warm personal friends who deeply sympathize with his bereft family and mourn with them their personal loss.

STORING FOODS Formerly it was thought that llght . caused home-canned foods in glass jars to fade, lose color and flavor during storage. Re¬ tests at the Massachusetts Experiment Station have shown that heat rather than light caus- es changes in color, flavor and nutritive value.

FOR TAX COMMISSIONER To the People of Dade County: For some time I have been undecided as to whether I would be a candidate for re-election to. the office of Tax Commissioner. ; Many friends have asked me t(> run again, and I have now de-! cided to become a candidate,' subject to the County Democratic | Primary. The people of Dade j county have been very kind to me and to my husband, W. F. Morri¬ son, who held this office prior to his death, and for this kindness I am very grateful. If I am re¬ elected to the office of Tax Com¬ missioner, I pledge you that I shall do my best to carry out the duties in accordance with the requirements of law and the wishes if the people. I will ap¬ preciate very much your vote and active support. MRS. W. F. MORRISON. FOR COUNTY TREASURER To the Voters of Dade County: I hereby announce that I am a candidate for the office of County Treasurer of Dade Coun¬ ty, subject to the Democratic Primary Election. The date for the primary election has not yet been announced, but I believe the people should have ample time to choose their public of¬ ficers. I was born and raised in Dade County, and have lived here all, of my life with the exception of about four years, during which time I served in the United States Army. Twenty-three months of my army service was overseas, in the European coun¬ tries. After my discharge from the servee I went to work for the Dade County Soil Conservation Association, working for that As¬ sociation fourteen months, seven of which I served as manager. Since leaving the Associaton, I have been employed by the Will¬ iams Motor Company of Trenton, and am now manager of the ^arts Department of that com¬ pany. I am a young man, new' in politics, and interested only m rendering to the people the best servee of whch I am ca- oable. This I promise faithfully to do if elected. Your favorable consideration of my candidacy will be greatly appreciated. VIRGIL JENKINS. MILT CASE CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY TREASURER Having been urged by many of my friends to run for County Treasurer, and after much de¬ liberation, I hereby announce my candidacy for County Treasurer in the next General Election. I shall not engage in any fnud, slinging, and have no promises • to make in the coming election. I served country in the ^ my armed forces during World War II, now I solicit the opportunity to serve my county as your Treasurer, and assure you that the Treasurer’s books will be open for inspection at any time. Your vote and influence will be appreciated. MILTON CASE. ANNOUNCEMENT For the benefit of my friends T wish to state that I will be in the race for Superintendent of Schools and will appreciate your support. Further announcement later. ROY MOORE. ACCIDENT PREVENTION A good way to prevent farm and home accidents is to organ¬ ize a family safety squad to make the farm and home safe.! Now is a good time to clear away all booby traps from the build¬ ings and yards. Another sug¬ gestion is to keep a first aid kit handy. IRONING TIP It is easier to dampen laundry evenly when using an inexpens¬ ive sprinkling bottle with a per¬ forated top. A large salt or pepper shaker is excellent for this purpose whether made of glass or metal. Warm water is better for this job than cold w'ater. HOME REPAIRS Simple home repairs require few r tools. Those tools commonly used include: screwdriver, pliers, knife, hammer, ruler, file, paint brush, scissors and oil can. A cabinet draw r er can be used to make a permanent place for j storing these tools. Time to renew your subscrip¬ tion to The Times.
