RED CROSS DISASTERS THE EXTREME SACRIFICE
As we close our Red Cross Fund
Drive this year we find how close
we have been to some of the 25,-
000 persons reported to be se¬
verely affected in the series of
March tornadoes and floods. 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.

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¬

Where’s the Trenton news?
There must be something hap¬

of nice juicy news about everyone

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£. He keeps it homey
and comfor^ble, but he has his
standards! And a privilege abused
is a privilege removed.
That’s how it is with all well-
operated businesses . . . like tav¬

any of them abuse the privilege—
by failing to maintain clean, or¬

take action to correct the fault or
report it to the authorities.
It’s what the brewers call their

proud of their privilege, and mean¬
