Dade Gets Two Barracks To Relieve Overcrowding Al Tuesday’s public auction of the government surplus builT- >n ° s Fort Oglethorpe, the Dade County School System was able 0 obtain two buildings to help the crowded school situation * w bich troubles all the schools In the county. Superintendent Roy W. Moore and several others from Dade attended many others were also interest- Cd in acquirlng the bulldin « s | ' anK)ng them lhe school super- mtenden s from Walker and j Catoosa Counties, who had the >ame purpose in mind as Mr. Mo:re. The school authorities found business competition too strong to get the six barracks originally hoped for, so each superinten- c, ent in turn appealed to the crowd for sympathy fer the Id- { le children who did not have adequate educational facilities. Mr. Frank Gleason, Hospital Authority Chairman, who was i auctioneer, told of Dade’s prob¬ lem and stated that the schools should have firs choice of the buildings but bidding cn the buildings went up and up, past the school's pocketbooks. Mr. Moore and Mr. J. C. Bil- lue, Dade High Principal, made an offer for two buildings and told those who were also bid- ding that if they were allowed a to purchase the buildings, they would not make further bids cn other structures. Mr. Billue’s of- fer of $85 for Dade High’s choice was accepted with $33 being re turned by the crowd who passed around a hat. The second building, No. 123. was puchased for $100 by Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore sold the sprinkler system fer $150 to a business concern since the waler pressure in the county is ..hot strong enough to use such a Hre control. This building is di- vided into sections, and is large enou - h for both a teacherage and a communi y house. The problem is where this building should go, with the neediest schcol obviously getting first choice. North Dade, Hooker, Rising Fawn and Davis have applied for the barracks, but “ The Dade Superintendent of has arranged for two to run every few minutes the school out to Plum V' and ;he D ir ector of Pub Saf f f ty for the State of Geor- * a v :; - have Peace officers on be mountain roads to direct cne-way !rafflc and pre ‘ l! ‘ alUc Jams - Signs over the county on the of the show will point the to the Plum Nelly, and in NUMBER 40 here has not been an an¬ nouncement as yet as to which .school will get it. Ten days has been allotted to the purchasers to completely clear the grounds of all debris, so immediate action will be re¬ quired to get the buildings moved here. Mr. Billue and twenty volun eer boys from his school went over Wednesday morning to begin removing all the fixtures, from Dade High’s baracks, which contains a steam plant, skylights and toilet faci¬ lities. He believes this has some educational a.s well as economic value in that the boys will learn something of the mechanics of carpentry. When the building is ready to be torn down, a qua¬ lified carpenter will be present to supervise correct procee- dures. The boys are not re¬ quired to gb but have shown marvelous spirit in volun eering to help their school. Volunteers who have trucks which could be used to move the building will be greatly appreciated by Mr. Billue and Mr. Moore. The building is large enough and has plenty of material to divide it into a library, office and dressing rooms for the football team when it is reas¬ sembled. The present library will be used for the fourth grade classroom which has been housed in the auditorium. NEW ENGLAND PLANS CHILI SUPPER SATURDAY Coming with the cold weath¬ er are New England’s plans for a steaming chili supper with hot dogs, cakes and coffee which will be served at the com¬ muni. y house Saturday night.
