Davis Citizens Plan
New Auditorium
The citizens of the Davis com¬
munity are continuing to show
much interest in their local
school. Last Saturday night a
small but enthused crowd
gathered at the Davis School
building to discuss plans
raising funds for the completion
6f their' new auditorium.
Since the building burned con-
struction has been made toward
completion of a new building
the same site, which provides
for classrooms- But the proper
school spirit and relationship
among students cannot be main¬
tained unless there is a place
provided for the student body
and faculty to meet together.
Realizing this necessity some of
the people there met with an
intention of trying to remedy
he situation.
Committees to raise funds have
been appointed and are working
toward that goal now. Some
good donations were received
and the treasurer wishes that
everyone who is pledged will
contribute their donation as soon
as possible. All this money will
be used to complete the new
auditorium. Mr. J. D. Crisp is
the bonded treasurer, and will
handle all banking and dona¬
tions.
DEDICATION OF DAVIS HIGH

The new building will be de¬
dicated with the State District
Supervisor of Schools, Mr. L. J.
Lance, being the principal speak¬
er. Rev. Bayne, State Home

devotional. We invite every
patron and friend to be present.

State Opens Dove
Season In September
Last June when the State
Game and Fish Commission
in Atlanta for the purpose of
establishing the hunting seasons
for 1948-1949 they discussed the
dove season at length. It was
decided that the season on doves
should be split so that the hunt¬
ers in the Northern half of the
state could enjoy some dove
shooting the latter half of Sept¬
ember before the doves migrate
to South Georgia. Accordingly
such reccomendations were made
to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service which has the sole
under Federal laws to regulate
the seasons on migratory game
birds and waterfowel-
The Federal Game
promptly turned down this rec-
comendation and set the
on doves to open on
18th over the entire state
Georgia. Again the State
Officials met and offered a
promise by chopping two
off the last part of the season
if the two weeks open
in September were allowed.
Again they were turned
Again the State Game
met and established their own
seasons on doves in defiance
Federal regulations- It was de¬
cided to open a season on doves
from September 15th to Septem¬
ber 30th in all^ counties North
of Macon. Such action was
made official by the posting of
same in every courthouse and
filing a copy with each
In the state of Georgia. All
State rangers have been

lations.
This writer deeply regrets
fact that so far as we are
cerned it will be legal to
doves in the last half of
ber, but all hunters will be
ject to prosecution if
ed by Federal game' protectors.

Baptist Church At
Trenton Organizing
A Library
Members of the Trenton Bap¬
tist Church are setting another
milestone of the progress in
making their church and com¬
munity a better one.
Miss Dorothy Maxwell, mem¬
ber of the Baptist Book Store
in Atlanta came here last week
to assist in organizing a library
at the Baptist Church. To start
the library the members pur¬
chased about 100 or 115 books
from the Baptist Book Store at
a cost of about $150 and intend
to add more later on-
A variety of literature is offered
to anyone and especially the
other churches in the commun¬
ity. Books for children, good
fiction, biographies, religious lit¬
erature, reference and program
material pertaining to special oc¬
casions give the reader a wide
range to chose from in satisfying
his reading desires.
The organizers felt a need here
in the community for the type
of literature not easily found in
a public library.
The library is going to be open
for 15 minutes before and aftei
church services with Miss Louise
Evans and Mrs. Charles Shank-
ies in charge of issuing and re¬
ceiving the books. Mrs. S. J.
Hale and Mrs. Lewis McBryar
were appointed to encourage use
of the library, and committees
were chosen to select books and
encourage use. In charge of the
adults is Mrs. R. S. Smith, the
young people, Mr. and Mrs. Roy
McBryar, Intermediate, Mrs.
Opal Gifford, Juniors, Miss
Louise Evans, Primary, Mrs. Vic¬
tor Quinton and Beginners, Mrs.
Chester Daniel.
It is hoped that everyone will
contribute their interest and
support this library. |
Lions Club Held Meet¬
ing At Joyland
At the regular bi-monthly
meeting of the Dade County
Lions Club which was held at
Joyland on Lookout Mountain
Tuesday night, the Club had as
special guests Mr.' Charlie Mor¬
gan, State Director of Parks
and Playgrounds, and Mr. Gerald
McQuaig, Director of Recreation
of the State Parks Department.
A most interesting talk was giv¬
en by Mr. Morgan, outlining the
work which had been done in
the Parks Department since the
first part of 1947, and a tremen¬
dous amount of improvements
have been made in the park sys¬
tem of Ga. Our Georgia Parks
system was rated as 48th the
first of the year 1947 and it has
now improved so rapidly and to
such an extent that it occupies
the No. 1 spot at the present
time in National rating. Follow¬
ing the talk by Director Morgan,
Mr. McQuaig showed two reels
of colored films covering scenes
from all of the 21 state parks
in Georgia, and these films
backed up what Director Morgan
had told about them. The
people of Georgia owe it to them¬
selves to become better acquaint¬
ed with the natural scenery af¬
forded in our own State and the
recreational facilities which art
being provided by the State
Parks Department for the bene¬
fit of the people of Georgia and
visitors at a minimum cost- One
could not listed to the talk of Mr.
Morgan and view the scenes
shown in the pictures without
coming away with the' definite
conviction that our state is
second to none in its scenic
beauty and recreational facilities.
It is hoped that the new admini¬
stration will continue the won¬
derful work which has been done
in that field during the past two
years. Other guests present at
the meeting were Mr. W. T. Mc¬
Cauley, Superintendant of Cloud-
land Canyon Park, and Mr. H.
E. Gross, Owner of Dyer Mer¬
cantile Company of Trenton.
