Nation Wide Alarm
Seeks Russell Morgan
On Gross Break-in
A police alarm, covering the
entire South and extending as
far west as California, has been
sent out by Dade County Sheriff
Bill Lynch seeking the arrest of
Russell Morgan in connection
with a series of crimes com-
mitted in the county Sunday
night.
Morgan is the only remaining
party to be questioned in
burglary of Gross; Mercantile
Co. and Scruggs Grocery last
Sunday night and the wrecking
of Joyces Drive Inn.
Three other participants in
the crimes, Earl Hainey, Ray
Buckles, and Junior Underwood
have been questioned in the af-
fair.
Underwood is being held in
the county jail pending a total
bond of $1,600. Hainey and
Buckles were released without
bond after giving their state-
ments Monday afternoon.
Earl Hainey, who gave up
Monday afternoon to Sheriff
Bill Lynch, said in a full signed
statement, that the group’s ac-
tivities started Sunday night
when they visited the Midway
Cafe where they had a few
drinks. Buckles, who came in
with Hainey, said he went with
the party and carried a bottle
of whisky which they drank
while at the cafe.
Buckles said they later ob¬
tained another bottle and after
drinking that, he passed out
and could not remember much
of what happened after that.
Hainey, in his statement,
said the group took Buckles
home and then went to Sand
Mountain where Underwood
and Russell Morgan proceeded
to completely wreck the Joyce
Drive Inn. Hainey said he took
no part in the wrecking and was
forced to stay in the car.
He tt said . , when , ,, they decided to
burgle the Gross company,
protested, but Morgan told
to stay with them and
locked him in the car while he
(Morgan) and Underwood en-
tered the store they’
Hainey added that later
transtered the stolen goods
from one uixe car vax to wav another and re-
turned to Sand Mountain. He
said he told them he . had , „ . to
out of the car and they let him
go. He added that he went be-
hind a church house and ran to
his home. That, he added, was
the last he saw of the group
that night.
When Underwood was ca
tured late Monday night at his
home, Lynch and other law
fleers were led to Waterfall
Cave near the foot of Sand
Mountain ^nart^of* and there U *loot**taken"in they reco-
vered Prfak thp "

The party forced their entry
into in the the rear Scruggs oi the Grocery Gross ^t° Mer re
cantile Co., by smashing a wm-
dow in a side door and urdock "
ing the door from the inside,
accoraing to Scruggs. They then
t°J er a partit ; i0 ? ^
entered the n Gross part fo n the P
bunding where they took a
man's suit, a jacket, several pair
of shoes, uhree boxes of men’s
dress shirts, but no money. They
also took about 50 cartoons of
cigarettes and a few
irom the Scruggs department.
Both Hainey and Buckles gave
voluntary signed statements to
Sheriff Lynch which named
Underwood and Morgan as the
actual intruders at both
Gross and Joyce establishments.

New Gym Raising Plans Drive Obeyed; Starts
Fund
A second meeting to plan for the rebuilding of the Dade County
Gym was held Monday night in the Dade High Lunch room. Prin¬
cipal J. C. Billue had been elected Chairman of the Executive
Committee at the previous meeting and conducted the meeting.
The Executive Committee composed of Principal Billue, Supt. of
School Roy W. Moore and W. H.
Pullen had visited several gyms
in surrounding counties.
Board member W. C. Cureton
had studied the blue prints of a
gym in Tracy City which the
committee had brough back
with them as the one they
was most suited to Dade Coun¬
ty’s needs. Mr. Pullen drew a
rough sketch and explained and
answered questions about this
building. It would be a two story
building about 97x110 ft. It
would be built of concrete re¬
inforced by steel supports. In
would* the half basement ..._....... suitable” first floor ^
be rooms
26x30 ft. class rooms, a heating
plant, lockers and showers. The
gym, with ...x. a standrad , . , size , 50x84 er. n a
,, ft. basket W O ball court, v f ■would vv\juava . be uc
on the second_ floor with
bleachers on each side having a
seating capacity of over 1,000.
After a lively discussion on
many points, the cost was asked
for. Mr. Pullen said the Tracy
City gym had cost $94,000 when
it was built three years ago. Mr.
w. C. Cureton explained how it
would be passible for Dade
County to use a plan of such a
building and where costs
be cut without without taking taking away away
from the durable construction construction
and general plan of the build-
ing.
The meeting recessed for in-
dividual discussion, coffee and
doughnuts
When the group reassembled
Mr. Pat Wheeler asked where
the building and football field
would be. Mr. Roy Moore re-
plied that it was hoped the field
might be on the west corner of
the school property and the
proposed building east of that.
! After more discussion a mo-
tion w’as made and passed that
the group was in favor of the
proposed building plans.
Miss Bess Cureton raised the
question of state aid. Mr. Moore
said the Minimum Foundation
plan did give $500 per teacher,
| 5200 tobe ,«f edfor capital out-
l ^ nd and $300 A for malignance H f ^7^
Dade School System, because of
fires, was already in bad shape
and that, “we can’t use this
money, it is already needed
elsewhere.”
The question of raising money
came next. Mr. Moore said he
already had just under $39,000
from the Trenton school bonds
and tbe insurance on th f
! a ? d itwasjustonemans opi-
nk3 * but he felt $4 °’° °° ™ re
should h be raised H before f the
. building should , ... be started, 7 , ,
“ *
trr w ttt \A7i1Hq mc nmnncAH t,,™ In
^ dominations ^aUons of o^OO^sTtnd $100, $50, and
$25, so that people who could
not give a lot all at once could
buy “on the installment plan”.
These bonds would not be re-
deemable but more like a re-
ceipt. This was put in a suitable
motion to the effect that bonds
be sold and a building be built.
This carried.
Following the plan for fund
raising set forth fnr i h anri and adopted arirmtpri at at
the last meeting, the county
will be divided into zones and
then into smaller districts, with
adult leaders. The school chil-
dren will do the soliciting under
the help and supervision of th f/
leaders. As the Supt. of Schools
is aiready bonded, the money
will be turned over to Mr. Billue
who will turn it over to Mr.
Moore. It was voted that this
