Miss Mennen said the 2,300 | who signed the registration books at the show was a definite upward trend for the annual affair, which drew only 500 vi¬ sitors last year. The flood of automobiles jamming the narrow roads near the mountain scene of the fa¬ mous art show brought out Sheri f f Lynch, three State Troopers, and several special deputies to handle traffic from before 1 P. M. until after 6. Among the works of Miss Mennen, Virginia Dudley, Ray Carlson, and Don Brewer, were : many outstanding scenes of Lookout Mountain and Dade County. Probably the outstanding ex¬ hibits of the show was the j manner in which the paintings were displayed. Strung from tree to tree, clothesline fashion, they swayed gently in the breeze that cooled the hot, dry day, and changed position often at the hands of a Life Magazine photographer who was seeking a good location for his shots. Most attracting paintings were Virginia Dudley’s litho¬ graphs of city scenes and wide variety of water color land¬ scapes . Miss Mennen’s flowers and scenes of Dade landscapes drew favorable comment from many Dade Countians who are fami¬ liar with her work and subjects. ‘Reflections” and) "Three Moonshiners,” by Ray Carlson, a furniture designer and artist, potrayed very striking use of color and depiction of local scenes. There was an increase in the number of quilts displayed and various layouts of pottery and driftwood drew much attention. Mrs. Art Moore dished out gallons of her famous apple cider and chunks of ginger¬ bread to thirsty critics who saw, and bought, a great deal of outstanding art. Driver License Suspensions For Traffic Violators Georgia’s “Get Tough” Safety Program t:ok on added impetus when Col. George W. Wilson, Director of Public Safety, an- anounced to the Governor’s Co¬ ordinating Committee on High¬ way Safety that, “beginning im¬ mediately, driver licenses will be punched by State Troopers when warning tickets are issued to traffic law violators for ex¬ cessive speeding, improper pass¬ ing, defective lights, and other violations.” Col. Wilson also pointed out that there are many repeaters who are continuously violating traffic laws, and that “from now on we are going to see to it that such violations become a part of the permanent record of those persons who repeatedly disregard our traffic laws. After the third warning notice, “Col. Wilson continued, “the driver license cf the violator will be suspended.” Zach Cravey, Chairman of the Governor’s Coordinating Com- mitee on Highway Safety, At¬ torney General Eugene Cook, Secretary ©f State Ben Fortson, and Public Service Commis¬ sioner Matt McWhorter, also members of the committee, heartily endorsed the action of the Director of Public Safety in this new program to bear down on traffic lawn violators. Mr. Cravey called attention to the fact that during the months of October, November and De¬ cember, our traffic accident rate always increases and that “it is Lmportantt that every possible action be taken now to hold our losses during the next three months, to a minimum.” Devoted to the Best Interests oi Dade County and Georgia. fHE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY OCTOBER 19, 1950 GET DAY OFF \S DADE TEACHERS ATTEND GEA MEET Dade County’s school students a chance to catch up on fishing and sleeping today their teachers visited to catch up on the latest in education.

DHS Gets Band f Singing; Over 90 Students Sign Up Dade High School’s dream of a band and group singing club is in the act of coming true this week with the planned organiza¬ tion of the two groups soon. Principal J. C. Billue said today that far over 90 students have voiced interest in the idea. An Instructor, G. C. Hamrick, of Chattanooga, has agreed to 35 Mill County Tax Set To Meet Expenses For 1950 Operation Dade County’s 1950 tax levy will call on citizens to shell out $3.50 per $100 worth of property this year to pay for services ren¬ dered by the county. In the release of the tax levy this week, the county listed the total wealth of the county, that amount which tax is based on, as $1,892,532.00. This figure is used to compute the General County Taxes. Total expenses of the county for the year are listed as $51,855.37 and the total of the 35-mill tax will put some 67 thousand dolars in the trea¬ sury. The tax levy, which will be found in full elsewhere in to¬ day’s TIMES, lists all county ex¬ penses and methods of taxation for the year. Dade Bond Drive Nets $619 Here Toward $15,000 Goal Miss Bess Cureton, County Chairman for Dade County an¬ nounced that salse of Savings Bonds for the month of Septem¬ ber were $619, making a total for the year of $863. She has been advised by the government that the Fall Cam¬ paign for the sale of Savings Bonds is a two-point program: 1. For Industrial areas a Payroll Savings Drive in every plant and industry. 2. For farm areas a farm and rural business campaign to sell an average of one Bond for every farm family. Every American should ask himself what he can do to help keep his country strong and free. One of the important answers: BUY U. S. SAVINGS BONDS. Dade County’s goal for 1950 Bond sales is $15,000. “Please buy your bonds in Dade County,” Miss Cureton said, “as the Chattanooga banks do not give Dade County credit for bonds bought in Chattanooga.” Seven Dade Men Drafted Out Of 43 Examined Seven more Dade Countians left for duty with Uncle Sam’s Army this week, bringing the total of draftees from the county to nine so far.

Fis- cher and York left for training last month. Published Weekly—Since 1901 cn the job of training the local talent, Billue said, at a cost of $1 per student, per week. John Nelson, will act as as¬ sistant to Hamrick, in the di¬ rection of the proposed band and singing classes. Training and music lessons would be divided into two one hour sessions per week. Sing¬ ing lessons would meet the same number of hours, but the cost will be only 50c per week, it was announced. Billue said arrangements can be made to rent instruments at $6 per month, with the rental going toward their purchase if the pupils desire. Beginning of lessons won’t mean that DHS will have a marching band any time soon, Billue added, but said he thought they would be playing by the end of this school year. Mrs. E. M. Parker, eighth grade teacher at DHS, was named by Billue as the spark plug behind the band planning and was given credit for a “fine job” of leading the right for or¬ ganization. Mrs. Parker first presented the idea of a school band at the first yearly meeting of the DHS Parents-Teachers Association September 11, and it has since gained wide support through¬ out the county.

Progress Parade Continues March Through Georgia Atlanta tGPS)—Georgia’s Parade of Progress marenes on. Evidence of this Is seen in re¬ ports received regularly by the Georgia Department of Com¬ merce from al over the state. They come from communities both large and small. These reports tell of activity that is Improving the economy of their section. They tell of the establishment of new indus¬ tries or the expansion of exist¬ ing plants. A study of the re¬ ports shows that this activity is well scattered throughout the state. “The Georgia picture conti¬ nues to be bright,” Commerce Secretary Clark Gaines said. “And the encouraging aspect of the picture is the fact that many smaller communities lo¬ cated in the rural areas are get¬ ting their share of this indus¬ trial expansion. A new plant or expansion of an existing one means more jobs, larger pay¬ rolls and a general betterment for the community. That, we are glad to report, is what is happening in both our rural and urban areas today.”
