NRW rom IAN EtAMClSCO Caught In Passing The whistle at Dyers rang out the old year and in the new _year_ , New Year’s Day was quiet on the square. Only a few business places were open. We were one of them. Many were brought in over Christmas for Drunk Driving but New Year’s Eve seems to have been quiet. Not only penny post cards cost two cents to send as of January 1st. but it now costs us two cents to mail local mail a the post office. A large sign has been erect- ed at the Co-op which is so placed as to be seen from the Square. There have, been two or three contractors here checking at the location of the Dade Health Center. Bids for this work are to be opened January 15.

"When in the course of human events, it becomes neces¬ sary... The Declaration o1 Independence was a beginning and a birth of political liberty. “We, tbe people of tin) United States, in order to form a tnoie perfect union... 1 hi Constitution was a beginning and *n establishment of orderly democratic government. “lhat tins nation, under God. shall have a new birth of freejom. and that government of tbe people, by tbe people, for the people; shall not perish from tbe earth ..." Abraham Lincoln’* simple words at Gettysburg were, above many things, a begin¬ ning and a new devotion to tbe real nobility of man’s brotherhood. Let us remember these beginnings of ours. None of them coincided chronologically with a New Year, but apart from tbe date, each was of itself a new' year, a new age, a new point in human progress. Remembering this, let approach tbe New Year with humil¬ % us ity and let us seek in it tbe deep and biding roots of peace, for ourselves, for our community, and for all people. Forever. v C THE DADE COUNTY TIMES TRENTON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1952. weather is bad the school cannot use the old road off Lo kout Mountain and the more than 50 chlldren coming down to the valley to High School from Lookout Mountain are all iav ^ n 8 to almost to Chatta- 110 S a and back before they get to and from school?

Mother Morrison tells that when the teacher did arrive, she was punished for playing ball with the big boys. Some of those big boys were her brothers, Ben and Jim and John Whitt.

Mr. and Mrs. Brad Gross and children were visiting relatives New Year’s Day. The Shamboughs were also out. At least Franklin was. So ! I am taking it for granted the family came along too. Mr. and Mrs. K. D. Patterson j have that moved to New England but is close enough for us ; to still claim them, part time I anyway. Barbara Quilion spent the night with Bessie Moore Sun- | day night. We had a very quiet New Year’s Day. J. W. had to work and Bessie had to go to school, so it almost seemed like any other day to us. In the afternoon Edgar and I drove up to Lupton : City to see one of my sisters for a while. These pretty warm days make us want to get out and dig. We noticed several out raking leaves yesterday and one washing ! windows and I heard later one .fellow even set out some straw- berry plants. We wish you all a very Happy 'New Year.

TRENTON, GA. Y,l An Open Letter Jo The Members of l 12 l w Georgia Legislature |>| J 1 We hope we speak for the people you represent when we say that we believe Georgia is now entering a new era of prosperity. We hope $ we are also entering a new era of state government whereby the people of the state can become better informed about our state government. We are pledged to the idea that a democracy cannot function unless the people are informed. : :: Your newspaper pledges its support in letting the people you repre¬ sent know of your activities and accomplishments in the 1952 Georgia Legislature. The people you represent want to know what committees you serve on, how you vote on various measures. We want you to keep the newspapers informed of your progress and your problems, so that they can in turn present this information to the citizens of the counties you represent. And we want you to call on us and the newspapers for any help you may think we can give you. A free press and a free legislature are the two most vital forces in our country today and something that we must preserve with greater diligence than ever before. I Only a free press can establish lines of communication between gov¬ ernments and people. Anything else is dictatorship and chaos. A free press can make the American public the best informed people in the world. We are dedicated to the belief that an informed public is the greatest asset a democracy can have. As you take up your tasks, we wish you well. We pledge you our best efforts to give to the people you represent a free press; and we offer this prayer—May the free press of Georgia and America continue to serve in the future as it has in the past.
