WHEN IS OUR PRIMARY?
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.

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

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.
What a man dodfe. not what
he feels, thinks, or believes, is the
universal yardstick of behavior,

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.

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.
