TALMADGE LEADING IN
GOVERNOR’S RACE
Judge Townsend
Strong Vote
Judge J. M. C. Townsend, in
Dade County, won over his op¬
ponent by 1431 votes to 232 and
early returns showed that he
was leading with a nice major¬
ity all over the state. Dade will
be very proud to have one of
her native sons in a state office
as Judge on the Court of Appeals
The Judge was in Dade Coun¬
ty for the election, making his
headquarters in his home dis¬
trict of Wildwood. Here during
the day he greeted many old
friends before his return to At¬
lanta Wednesday night.
The Lookout
Game Refuge
(By Hugh G. Forester)
There Is good news concern¬
ing the Lookout Mountain Game
Refuge. As some readers of this
paper may already know, there
is a vast wilderness on the Ala.,
side of Lookout Mountain that
joins our refuge to the South-
Several of our deer have been
ranging across the state line into
Alabama since their release last
November. Up until a short
time ago these deer had no
adequate protection on the Ala¬
bama side. At least two have
been killed presumably by roving
dogs on that side of the line.
Then a few months ago, two
wide awake sportsmen Mr. F. R.
Bell, a retired business man now
living in Mentone and Dr. W.
G. Allison a veterinarian also of
Mentone started doing some¬
thing about it- For several
weeks these men have worked
tirelessly getting landowners in-
trested in a game refuge on
their side of the line. At the
outset they came to me and got
all the information I could pass
along regarding a refuge. They
have been able to profit by our
mistakes and have surmounted
some of the obstacles that have
hampered us. Now they have
almost completed the signing up
of a 16,000 acre refuge and it has
recently been inspected by the
State and Federal Wildlife Ser¬
vice Coordinator for Alabama.
This official has pronounced it
an ideal range for deer and
turkey.
Mr. Bell and Dr. Allison have
also organized a club whose
membership is composed of land
owners and sportsmen in the
area. This club is known as the
Mentone Conservation Club-
Their main project at present is
the Lookout Mountain Game
Refuge and the restocking of
same with deer, wild turkeys and
quail. They have recently ap¬
plied to the Alabama Conser¬
vation Department and the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service for 50
deer, 50 wild turkey and 250
quail to be released on the ref¬
uge.

J. C. LEWIS WRECKS ON
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
Late Saturday afternoon Mr.
J. C. Lewis of Long Island, Ala.,
wrecked his 36 Ford at the cut
on top of Lookout Mountain. He
stated that he was unfamiliar
with the road and could not see
very well because of the fog; as
he rounded the curve the auto¬
mobile struck a rock, knocking
It over the cliff and heading the
vehicle into the bluff.
The four occupants of the
automobile had just been mar-
ried and were shaken up badly ;
those in the front seat received
several cuts about the face from
the broken windshield.
The collision smashed in the
grill and hood, bursted the left
tire, ripped and smashed both
front fenders. In addition the
left rear fender was battered in
when the car struck the rock.
The automobile was pulled In
by Rutledge—Talley Motor Co.,
Trenton Ga.
SPORTSMEN CLUBS
Sportsmen clubs, organized in
every community by the many
people who are directly interest¬
ed in fishing, hunting, or both,
could be the force behind the
fish and game conservation so
badly needed throughout Ga.

SAND MOUNTAIN ROAD BID
AT LETTING
Last Friday the State Highway
Board opened bids for highway
and bridge construction in 50
Georgia Counties. The 77 con¬
struction projects open a letting
estimated to cost $11,000,000.
Because of the size of the
letting, which was a record, and
the tremendous number of con¬
tracts proposed the' opening bids
were delayed almost an hour.
The State Highway Director,
Warren Neel, stated that because
Monday was a holiday and Wed¬
nesday election day the awarding
of contracts would be delayed
until Thursday of this week.
Many of the state aid contracts
were devided into two or three
sections and bid upon separately.
The apparent low bidder for
the 5.481 miles of grading and
paving of the Sand Mountain
road from Trenton to the' Ala¬
bama State Line is R. T. Smith
of Atlanta who bid $237,124.

the Miss State of Dade Contest
held for the second year on
Labor Day to raise funds for the
continuation of the Bookmobile
service.
Previously five community
f contests had been held. These

^ ^ Miss North Dade was
Pressed in white embroidered

Miss Beatrice Williams, the
south end winner, as Miss Rising
Fawn chose a light blue taffeta,;
Miss Rovena McAbee the winner
from Sand Mountain, wore a
sheer white net overlaid dress
and Miss Anna Marie Moore as

soft blue for the) occasion.
On the stage with these win¬

James Milton Case.
There was an excellent pro¬
gram for the audience during the
voting periods. Willard Harde¬
man with two other musicians
gave several numbers and fiiled
in the absence of the Lookout
Mountain Quartet. These fea¬
tured vocals by Willard. Mrs.
Doris Hardeman gave several
numbers on the piano and she
and Miss Jesse Dyer played for
the two majorettes, Joyce Case
and Helen Faye Wheeler, in
their two charming numbera.
Tatum & Case supplied recorded
music at the beginning and end
of the program and during the
voting periods. Mr. W. C.
Holmes was on hand with his
camera and lights and we hope
next week to be able to show
you a picture.

Miss State of Dade for 1948.
Miss Trenton received 14,047,
votes, Miss Rising Fawn 12,958,

who helped to make this service
possible. /
