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.

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 structed to enforce these 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.

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.
