Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME XLVIX. Large Crowd Enjoys i Barbecue & Dance There was a very good crowd at the Barbecue. Many were served and many stayed to par¬ ticipate in and to watch the Square Dance. This affair was sponsored by the Lions Club, Farm Bureau, Vhe Legion and the Improve¬ ment Committee to raise money for the Dade County Fair this fall. The barbecue was served out doors around the pit in back of the Leglin Hall. This had been prepared by E. G. Wright, jr„ Toll Jeffrey and Jules Case who worked since daylight and were assisted by T. S. Renfroe, James Morrison, Granville Pace, and Cleron Kyzer, chairman later in the day. Miss Bess Cureton and Mrs. Louise Wright had made the tea and slaw and brought the rest of the trimings which made up this delicious meal. High improvised tables had been erected which were big- help to the dinners. Everyone was in a festive mood and there was much milling about sa friends greeted friends. Mr. Waiter Simpson and later, Mr. Raymond Morrison were the callers for the Square Dance. Music was supplied by Lewis Sims, Mrs. Bradford, Otto Wat¬ son and Bob Russell. The new floor of the Hall proved so new and slippery that, except for those with rubber soled shoes, the participants had to remove their shoes in order to be able to stand up. There was no rain all evening to mar the festivities and it is to be hoped the affair was a financial success and that enough money was raised to put on our Fair this fall. Mobile X-Ray Clinic July 14 The Mobile X-ray unit will be in Trenton on July 14th. Those who wish to avail themselves of this service will please see the Public Health Nurse for an ap¬ pointment. ALONG OUR HIGHWAYS In spite of the long fourth of July week end, Dade seems to have come thru with about an average number of highway vio¬ lations and accidents. There were seven highway cases. These were for reckless driving, driving while under the influence of liquor, speeding, driving without a license and one case involved driving while drunk and resisting an officer. No local people were involved, fhere were four forfeitures of bond. There have been two highway accidents reported to us, both on the bad stretches of road be¬ tween Trenton and Rising Fawn. One car, one wavy, slippery when wet unmarked road just north of Adkins Store, turned over and landed in the ditch with all wheels turned up. A man and his wife who were inside, were hot injured and were able to crawl out. The other accident was just north of Rising Fawn. The car skidded into the ditch, lurned, on its side but again no one was hurt. There was a great deal of traffic throughout the county over the week end and with these two bad places on stretches of Highway 11 and the one way traffic on parts of the Lookout fountain Road it is indeed for¬ tunate there were no fatalities.
