The Easter storms alone resulted in 27 deaths, 70 injuries and untold property damage. In Aliceville, Ala, 3 persons were killed, 45 buildings destroy¬ ed or damaged and 35 families were effected by the tornado on March 26. In Opelika, Ala., 31 homes were destroyed or damaged and three were iniured. In Calhoun County, Ala., there were two tornadoes during one week with 15 homes dam¬ aged. In Cartersville, Ga., there were 4 injuries and 25 buildings and homes destroyed or damaged during the March 26th tornado. Several counties in Tenn. re¬ port tornadoes with 2 injured and 17 families affected by the tornadoes. These disasters so close to home have made us realize the need to give. If you haven’t al¬ ready given, it is hoped that you will send your gift to the Fund Chairman, 'Mr. M. J Hale, in Trenton.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1948. The best things in life are not usually handed down to us on a silver platter. Instead, most oi us have to put forth some effort, time and even sacrifices to at¬ tain these things. ' The sport of hunting and fish¬ ing is probably enjoyed by more people, old and young, than ah other pastimes combined. Up to now, most of us have been willing to enjoy these sports as if they were handed down to us on the proverbial silver platter. But, alas! we have learned to our sorrow that such is not the ca^e. In the short space of a human life, several species oi wildlife have dwindled and van¬ ished from our northwest Geor¬ gia woods and fields. Qthers art on their way out. We realize that if these sports are to be en¬ joyed by our children and grand¬ children, we of this generation will have to put forth some ef¬ fort to perpetuate them That is just what a little group of landowners in the souththern part of Dade and Walker counties have done. They have signed agreements with the State and Federal wildlife de¬ partments that they will stop all hunting on their lands for a pe¬ riod of 3 to 5 years in order that these departments can restock and restore the game that once abounded in this area. They have even posted their lands or allowed them to be posted a- gainst roving dogs that might interfere with the peace and tranquility of such game. In a previous article I told in detail of the releasing of forty white tail deer in this refuge and how these deer are today doing well bn the range where no deer have trodden for nearly fifty years. It is true that these deer were furnished free by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State Game and Fish Commis¬ sion, but not without time and effort and sacrifices by the land- owners in the refuge. The most outstanding sacrifice that has been called to my at¬ tention or has been witnessed by me was made on the day the deer were released. Not by some big landowner, but just by a mere fourteen-year-old boy. This boy has reached the age when hunting means more to him than anything else in his life. He cares nothing for base¬ ball, basketball, football and oth¬ er athletic sports. He had a young hound that was beginning to tree nicely. He and his hound had spent many pleasant after¬ noons after school and on Satur¬ days during the present scfuirrel season roaming over on Hickory ridge He is a crackshof with his little .22 rifle and though squirrels were vgry scarce last fall he had killed several that his dog had treed. This boy was on hand to see the deer re¬ leased and his dog followed him across the fields to the site and just as lunch was over and the truck arrived with the deer some¬ one spotted this dog and jokingly remarked that they bet it would make a good deer dog and would really give the deer a bad day. This boy quickly spoke and said that he bet it wouldn’t for his daddy had signed up his land and he certainly would not let this dog run any deer for he was sroing to get rid of it. A good sportsman from over in Alabama then stepped up and said that this dog looked too good to kill and that he was going on a deer hunt down in South Alabama where hunting with dogs is legal and he would like to have the dog. This boy choked back the tears, bit his lip and picked up his dog and carefully placed him in the trunk of the Alabama sportsman’s car. gave his dog a farewell pat on the head and quickly turned away.

A Little Chip From Hickory Hill Pearl Hall Beaty It’s still raining. Getting mighty late to plant potatoes The Easter cold spell turned a lot of green things black on Hickory Hill. My bleedingheart was in full bloom, it just crump¬ led up and turned black. Where’s the Trenton news? There must be something hap¬ pening there. How’s about a lot of nice juicy news about everyone and everything. Us folks that don’t get back often like to read what so and so is doing and wehe and when. * * • When IT’s LILAC TIME Lilac time is memory time for me, Deep inside the garden of my heart; Memories as sweet and heady, As the fragrance the lilac imparts. There is the stirring of a breeze, The lilting note of a birds song; Then my heart is filled with longing, For that day so long since gone. In the fragrance of the lilac. Memory waves an enchanted spell; The day was warm and sunny in spring, I can hear the toll of the old church bell. She sits beside in youth’s morning. New bloom lilacs in her hand; The memory of her smile and laughter. Comes back from that other land. It is a beautiful spring time memory. That the sweet scented lilacs bring • And fills my heart with a hungry longing, For that long, long ago spring!

"That's Why It's Gone! Pete Swanson was bewailing the ‘good old days’ in Sam Hackney’s general store the other day. “I even miss the old spitoon, now that it’s gone,” says Pete; and Sam replied: “You always missed it, that’s why it’s gone!” Which,, in a sense, is how Sam runs his stor£.
