First Report On Dade County Red Cross Fund Drive The final report for the Dade County Red Cross Fund Drive is not in but the following list shows that though many have not felt the need as pressing this year, it does look from the length of the list of those who have giv¬ en, that more people than ever are conscious of the help which the Red Cross gives. However, many of the Red Cross’ old faith¬ ful friends who have yearly sup¬ ported it are missing from the list Perhaps no worker called on you. Won’t you bring or send in your gift to the Fund Chairman, Mr. M. J. Hale, in Trenton? All of us are very grateful to everyone who worked so hard to collect these gifts.

Draft and UMT Seen By Fowler ks ‘Insurance’ The proposed enactment of a Universal Military Training law and temporary reactivation of the draft were described as the “exact opposite of war-like acts on the part of this country” by Adjutant General Alpha A. Fow¬ ler, Jr., in his Army Day address this week. He held that a capa¬ ble military force—evident to everybody—would be America’s best insurance against another war The draft act now under study by Congress, he said, is only a temporary measure designed to fill the ranks of the armed for¬ ces until graduates of Universal Military Trainng would start ap- pearng to replace draftees. General Fowler asserted that present plans for re-activation of Selective Service call for the drafting of only non-veterans under 26. He stated that Geor¬ gia’s Selective Service System can be re-launched whenever Congress so directs. Most of the members of Local Boards have indicated a willingness to serve again, if the occasion demands, he said. The young military leader re¬ commended again that men eli¬ gible for either UMT or the new draft investigate the opportuni¬ ty offered for “at home military service” in the Georgia National Guard. The Guard, he said, would wel¬ come younger recruits (17 or older) just as long as vacancies existed for them. But he cau- ’ioned that enlistment in the Na¬ tional Guard by men subject to UMT or Selective Service would probably be halted when Con¬ gress acts. Baptists To Observe Hospital Day May 9 Georgia Baptists will observe their annual Hospital Day on Sunday, May 9, with an offering which provides charity service in the Georgia Baptist Hospital for the needy sick of Georgia. The minimum goal for the offer¬ ing this year is $60,000. The offering in 1947 amounted to more than $55,000. During 1947 the Georgia Bap¬ tist’ Hospital rendered charity -ervice to 1,485 persons, ndt -ounting the many people who received free service in the Shef¬ field Cancer Clinic and the Can¬ cer Detection Center at the Bap¬ tist Hospital. Birdie Johnson will serve as chairman for the Lookout Valley Association in this effort to raise a minimum of $60,000 on Moth¬ er’s Day. She has appointed the following list of local church church chairmen in the Lookout Valley Association: Cloverdale, Mrs. Charles Bible, Rising Fawn ; Harmony Grove, A. J. Wells, Valley Head, Ala.; Head River, M. O. Scruggs, Head River, Ga.;Hinkle, Mrs. J. C. Clark, Rising Fawn, Ga.; Wood- lawn, Mr. Henry Elliott, Avans, Ga.; Trenton, Mr. Louis McBry- ar, Trenton, Ga.; Cross Roads, Mrs. A. J. Kincaid, Rising Fawn, Ga.; Wildwood, Mss.

Patton, Trenton, Ga.; Lookout Mountain, Mr. John Hixon, Rising Fawn, Ga.; Rising Fawn, Mr. Gordon Steele, Rising Fawn, Ga. Devoted to the Best Interests oi Dade County and Georgia. Williams Motor Co. Truck and Car In To Used Car Lot t Highway Accident The vacant lot on the south¬ west corner of the Court House Square is being made ready for Trenton’s first Used Car Lot. The Williams Motor Company is clearing and leveling the land before gravel is put down. A fence has been built along one side which Mr. Williams is plan¬ ning to paint and beautify Cars will front on the street. This will remove many cars from the street and make a com¬ pact place for tlAs business of buying and selling cars. Let’s Meet The County A. C. P. Committee One of the busiest farmers in Dade County these days is Ed¬ ward J. Bible, chairman of the County Agricultural Conserva¬ tion Committee. Not only does he have to look after his own farm at Rising Fawn but he is helping, or trying to help all the other farmers in Dade County with their farr^ conservation plans. «. Mr. Bible was re-elected last fall as chairman of the Dade County Agricultural Conserva¬ tion Committee. Mr. Bible is just one of more than 3,000 county ACP Chairmen in the United States who have been elected by their fellow farmers to administer the Agri¬ I cultural Conservation Program. These men are not on a salary, but are paid only for the time they put in on the program. Quite often this is less than the wages they have to pay a hired man to take their place on their own farms But as.Mr. puts it, “some¬ body’s got to do it.” The Nation is faced with,.a serious soil and food problem. Population is in¬ creasing and people are eating more. At the same time the soil from which the needed food must come is decreasing. Every year more and more of it goes down the river. So, somebody has to lead out in the fight to save the soil. He adds, however, that he does not have the whole job of run¬ ning the AC Program in Dade County. “Two able helpers are on the committee with me.” They are Gus Forester, vice chairman and D. P. Hood, Regu¬ lar member. “And let’s not for¬ get the community committee¬ men They help a lot. And many farmers not on committees help out. By working together we’re making progress, but there’s a lot yet to be done.” No Subsistence Hike For On-the-Job Trainees—Yet Veterans who are on-the-job trainees have not been granted increase in subsistence allowan¬ ces—yet. C. Arthur Cheatham, director of the State Department of Veterans Service, cautions such GIs not to become confused by widespread discussions of the probability of such increases be¬ ing authorized by Congress. Increases have been granted to full-time college students, he declares, but so far no laws have been passed raising the subsist¬ ence of either on-the-job or on- the-farm trainees. Cheatham advises veterans seeking to enroll in on-the-farm training courses in Georgia to re¬ fer their problems directly to the responsible agencies, where prac¬ tical These agencies are: The State Department of Education and the Veterans Administra¬ tion. REVIVAL IN PROGRESS AT THE CHURCH OF GOD Come out to the Church of God each evening at 7 o’clock, where a revival is in progress. Sister Margarett Jacobs and co-work- ers from South Carolina are in charge. Special music and sing¬ ing. Everyone is cordially invi¬ ted to attend Last Sunday morning on High¬ way 11, about 2 miles south of Trenton in the Union communi¬ ty, a Chandler freight truck at¬ tempted to pass a passenger car being driven by Mr. B. W. New¬ som. The trailer of the truck came too close to the Newsom car’s left back wheel and flipped the passenger car completely around until it was headed south. Mr. Newsom and Mr. Allen who were in the front seat of the car were not hurt but the impact of the l ,wo colliding vehicles threw Mrs. Ida L. Allen, who was riding in the back seat with her grandson, about in the car, inflicting pain¬ ful injuries. Miss Marion Cureton, a trained nurse, who was also driving north arrived at the scene short¬ ly after the accident occurred (A north bound bus was the first. to arrive). When Mrs. Allen complained of her back and neck. Miss Cureton recommended that she not be moved until an ambu¬ lance could be gotten to take her to a hospital where she was later treated for back, neck and skull injuries. The collision skidded the trail¬ er until it straddled the road with the cab hanging off the pavement. This was shortly un¬ loaded and the sheriff had the freight truck removed from the highway where it was obstruct¬ ing traffic. Trenton Garden Club The Garden Club of Trenton met April 1, 1948 at the Wild¬ wood home of Mrs. Jim Austin with Mesdames R. F. Carroll, F. N. Belk, and D. C. Carroll associ¬ ate hostesses.

City Amends Ordi¬ nance On Pinball Machines At a regular monthly meeting of the City Council this week the need was felt to ammend the ordinance with reference to pin ball machines or any other ma¬ chines if there is a game of chance possible by the playing thereof. The age limit for those who may play ha-s been set at 18 years or older One reason for this is that too many children have been spending their school lunch money at these machines.

Jackson Day Dinner Nets Democrats Only $400 The Jackson - Jefferson Day Dinner in Atlanta this year will net a profit of only about $400, according to Stonewall Dyer, one of its arrangers.
