Ruth Morgan Chosen In spite of the bad weather, there was a large crowd at the Dade High School Auditorium Monday night to enjoy the mu- sic of Chief Whitmere and his Dixie Land Serenaders and to select a winner to be Miss State of Dade for 1949. Five of Dade’s loviest young ladies had been chosen by their communities to compete for this year’s county title. These young ladies sitting on the stage in their soft colored long evening dresses made a modern bouquet of youthful America at it best. The only blonde, Miss Virginia Blevins as Miss North Dade wore a pale blue taffeta; Miss Ruth Wiison as Miss Rising Fawn and a true brunette wore yellow or¬ gandy; Miss Pauline Hartline as Miss Sand Mountain chose a soft pink chiffon with lace inserts; Miss Imogene Pennington as Miss Lookout Mountain wore a teal blue taffeta and Miss Ruth Morgan as Miss Trenton chose a pale pink chiffon. All girls wore corsages. The Library Board la¬ dies in the background were aiso in evening dress and hovered about in nervous agitation. After an opening number by Chief Whitmere und his seren¬ aders, Col. D. E. Morrison for¬ mally opening the program. He spoke of the need for the library service in Dade and the advant¬ ages of having a Bookmobile. He told us that the Bookmobile also serves Chattanooga and Walker counties and that when a new Bookmobile was needed they were the ones that raised the money and bought it and Dade had only given a chair.. He in¬ troduced Mrs. Ryan chairman of the Walker County Board and Miss Sarah Maret the Bookmo¬ bile Lady. He mentioned the two Two New School Buses Added The Dade County School Sys¬ tem opened formally at all schools in the county on Mon¬ day morning Sept. 5th. After a week of pre-pianing everyone was ready for registration and plans already made for grades and subjects to be taught as well as rooms to be occupied, so there was no time lost in get¬ ting down to work. Dade Coun¬ ty has its schools well staffed with efficient personnel who have been carefully selected which promises to give us a good year. In order to give better trans¬ portation service, two new school bus routes have been ad¬ ded to the system. One is on Sand Mountain from the Big Woods to Davis High ; the other bus will be used to help service m the north end of the county. Both of these two new trips will help to prevent children from leaving home at daybreak and returning at dark. Coach Woodall is diligently drilling the boys in order to have them ready for the first football game of the season ”'hir>d will be with LaFayette High on F'riday of this weelc. These boys are doing a nice job find before many days we will he around to see you asking for your support in paying for the equipment they are using. Roy W. Moore, Supt. of Schools. RISING FARM B.
