It is to be remembered that the people of Georgia voted in November to kee P the unit system out of P rl mar ies. Dade’s Representative, Mad- dox J. Hale, who is serving on an important Constitutional Admendment Committee, took the light in a heated debate early this week after a labor leader in Atlanta called for his union men to pray for the Gen¬ eral Assembly. Hale said he does not think labor unions are the proper ones to pray for the le- gislators.

Published Weekly—Since 1901 NUMBER 4 bers of the Hospital Board pres- ent, Commissioner Fay B. Mur¬ phy of Walker County, Ordi¬ nary A. W. Peck of Dade County, Commissioner Tom Christian of Catoosa County, other public of¬ ficials, lawyers, many doctors from Northwest Georgia and other interested citizens. This was the second meeting to be held, the first was held last Friday night and had broken up in a legal dead lock, on the wording of the contract. This contract had been drawn by Attorney Kelly in Atlanta and Hospital Attorney George Paul Shaw, submitted to RFC and approved by them. Attorney Shaw read the contract to the group, stopping to explain each paragraph and ask for discus¬ sion. This contract had been submitted to the governing au¬ thorities of the three counties only the week before and Com¬ missioner Murphy and Walker County Attorney S. W. Farris felt the contract was difficult to understand and that they needed more time for study. Or¬ dinary Peck said he did not feel he should sign until further conference with Dade County attorney M. J. Hale. Catoosa Commissioner Tom Christian said he was ready to sign. This contract calls for the Authority to agree to have and operate efficiently a first class hospital to be used for the sick from northwest Georgia and for the three counties to agree to send their indigent sick to this hospital only and to pay for them out of a tax levy which ac¬ cording to law must never ex¬ ceed 5 mills. This does not mean that this high a levy would ever be needed as the levy would de¬ pend on the number of patients sent to the hospital and would be changed from year to year depending upon conditions. The Authority recently was granted $550,000 by the United States Public Health Service and $250,000 from the State of Geor¬ gia. The Authority also already owns the land, several buildings and hospital equipment amounting to about $500,000. The RFC has approved the pur¬ chase of $200 000 in Revenue Certificates to be issued when the counties and the Authority sign the contract which the RFC had approved before it was pre¬ sented. Officials of the U. S. Public Health Service have set July 1, 1951 as the deadline for the construction to start and now that the last link has been signed after more than three years of efforts the hospital will become a reality soon. Trenton Girl Scouts Get Service Badges The Senior group of the Girl Scouts of America met Monday night to continue work toward their badges. Margaret Clark received her membership card and Sarah Ellen Cochran and Patsy Wood- fin received service stars for being members of the troop for one year. ‘TREASURE ISLAND' SHOWN AT DADE FOR SCHOOL KIDS More than 3i90 Dade High School youths turned out Wednesday afternoon to see Walt Disney's presentation of Robert Louis StephenSloin's most noted story, “Treasure Island.’’ The local youngsters con¬ sisting of students up to the eighth grade, were admitted to the special showing at a special price of 20 cents by theater owner Granville Pace.
