Dade County’s Only VOLUME XLVI1I. Wildwood Wins In Community Eient Contest __ At a banquet at the Reed House Tuesday night members from the nineteen winning com¬ munities in the Chattanooga Area Improvement Content gi thered to see who won first p.Cice and to secure their prizes. First place went to Kensington, one of the Georgia entries and a neighbor of Dade’s. In all there had been 86 en¬ tries in the contest this year. This was Wildwood’s first try in the contest and we are very proud that they were able to win 12th place. They had won a $40.00 cash- aw r ard by winning in the- Dade County elimination contest and they won $75.00 from ihe Chattanooga contest. Along with the boost to morale that cleaning up always gives, let’s hope this financial help will give them enough incentive to try again next year. . Those from the Wildwood com¬ munity who attended the ban¬ quet were Mesdames J. E. Wallen, George Carroll, Jr., and D. J. Hancock. Those from the Coun¬ ty Agent's office were Miss Patsy Stanfield, L. C. Adams and C. R. Ayers. Mr. A1 Clark chairman of the Committee sponsoring this an¬ nual competition presided over the meeting — Mr. Earl Carter, president of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce presented the awards and Mr. W. M. Land- ess, an official of the T. V. A.’s division of agricultural relations was the principal speaker.

Herman Talmadge’s decision to buy the Sa.vannah Quartermaster Deport for devel¬ opment as a state port and his subsequent action in making $808,100 available for the pur¬ chase, is being hailed as a good piece of business. It is gener¬ ally regarded as an excellent beginning of a program to de¬ velop Georgia’s ports, which in turn is expected to increase com¬ merce throughout the state. Georgia’s highway deaths to¬ taled 579 during the first 10 months of 1948, or 11 per cent below the same period last year. The national total was 25,720, only one per cent below the 1947 figure of 26,060 according < Council. to the National Safety The State Revenue Depart¬ ment’s Tag Division had licensed 741,800 vehicles through October which was an increase of 62,132 over the total at the same time last year. Passenger cars jump¬ ed from 487,858 to 527,216. State Legislators have been called to meet in informal con¬ ference in Atlanta December 16- 17 to help chart a legislative program for Georgia in 1949. They will swap their own views and likely get their first specific suggestions on vital issues from Gov. Talmadge and his legis¬ lative leaders. Average life span for a Geor¬ gia ma nis 61.72 years compared with a national average of 62.81 yee.rs, according to the Metro¬ politan Life Insurance Co’s state- by-state survey based on the last census. Georgia Women’s aver¬ age life is 67.46 years compared with a national average of 67.29. Nebraskans live longest—averag¬ ing 66.25 years for men and 70 04 for women. m Maternal and Child Health Clinic Dr. J. J.

M. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1948. A Story Of Interest From Floral Crest Back in the beginning of we read the Bible “And the said unto Cain, ‘Where is Ihy brother’? and he said, know not; am I my keeper?” Ever since then find the same spirit Men have selfishly amassed tunes with no thought of suffering and need about 7 hey might have done good. We read of Edison, Rockefeller, and others giving Charity or helping to build school or other public but we find little among of the common walks of life. One exception to this came our notice within the last month Our daily p-apers and 'radios have been telling the Leonard Wade (a son of W. Wade of Floral Crest ity,) a baker in the city of cago believes that he is brothers keeper. Years while a small boy he shot out one of his brother’s eyes, with an This younger brother, Ivie jost sight of the other eye three years later. Ivie was blind for thirty-three years. has been operating a store in our community for al years. Leonard has felt for number of years that he was sponsible for Ivie’s affliction that in some way he might him get his sight back. He came a baker and worked Miami for awhile. Then went to Chicago. There in big city he heard of a who could do great things the blind. He and his wife, Mildren gan saving their money. fourteen years he put it Last year he sent for his Ivie who went to Chicago entered the Wesley Hospital. Dr. R. A. Perritt formed a series of delicate oper- atons. These operations and hospital bills mounted up and they took all of these savings, 'vie says that Leonard does tell how much he paid out, but he knows it amounted to over six thousand dollars. Now Ivie see—he can read large print and can distinguish the colors. He has seen his father’s and mother’s faces again and can see “is wife and boys also his friends of which there are many. While in Chicago a reporter got hold of his story and the next day Ann Ford of WSM in Nash¬ ville had picked it up and broad¬ cast it from that station. The American Broadcasting Com¬ pany heard the story and invited Ivie and his wife to New York to tell about it over that net¬ work. Last Saturday night we heard Ivie’s voice coming over the air—telling of the devotion of a brother who fully believes H am my brother”s keeper.” How refreshing is such a storvl don’t suppose I could make Leonard believe it but to my mind Leonard is a great man. Most people are intent with their own selfish lives (not thinking of their brother)—to hold a big job and put away as mujch mon¬ ey as they can. Since Leonard began his work of love, his bus¬ iness has increased and is better than ever before. A Bible writer once said, “Cast thy bread upon the waters:for thou shaU find it after many days.” Leonard has found this so. Mrs. R. G. Peterson. Pattie Lynn Boswell To Marry Curtis Randolph Ayers Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Boswell of Pler.nville Georgia have an¬ nounced the engagement of their daughter, Pattie Lynn to Mr. Curtis Randolph Ayers. Miss Boswell has been our Home De¬ monstration Agent and Mr. Ayers is our assistant County Agent. The wedding will take pia e in Plainville on Saturday the eleventh cf December. This newly married couple will re¬ turn to Dade on the fourteenth and will make their home at the Big Oak Farms in Slygo. Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia.

Election i ___ In the districts where the candidates for Justice of the Peace and Constable had compe¬ tition, the voting was very large. Three districts, Rising Fawn, Trenton and Cole City turned out more voters for the J. P. election than they did for an election for their governor last September. Rising Fawn cast over 300 votes which is more than hnd been to the poles in the three other elections held in the county this year. The Rising Fawn election was hotly contested, Charles A. Whited, the present J. P. walked away with this by a better than 2 to 1 lead over his nearest contestant, receiving 182 votes of the over 300 cast- There are a few more than 400 registered voters in the Rising Fawn Dis¬ trict. About 285 had voted in the County Primary, 185 in the General election and 174 in the State primary. The Trenton District has about 690 registered voters and 376 of them turned out to vote in this J. P. election. There had been about 500 voted in the county primary last March and in the General Election (when those from other districts are allowed to vote at the county seat) this September but only about 260 voted in the State Primary. There were three canddates running for Justice of the Peace and H. F. Allison received a better than 2 to 1 lead over his near¬ est contestant. The Cole City District with its about 750 registered voters, this year hasn’t voted more than about 50% of them, but they took an interest in this J. P. election. Their heaviest voting was in the General election when about 380 or about half of them voted. The March primary was also about half as about 371 voted but this J. P. election with about 260 voting was a larger vote cast than in the State primary. One of the unusual things in this election is the three way tie for Consable in the New Salem district. There being only one candidate for Justice of the Peace, voting was light but the New Salem people really got one too many Constables. Looks like all over the county the voters like voting fer horr— folk. Nearly 1200 vote-s of the neorly 3600 registered voters turned out to vote even though ;n seme districts the candidates running had no opposition. Our ’argest turn out was in the coun¬ tv primray when better than 60% voted. 873 SLYGO DISTRICT Justice of the Peace W. P. Cole—3 Constable W. H. Dugan—3 Managers — —W. P. Cole —Charles C.
