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.
Did you know that when the

Voice even in the destinies *f nation* .. .
"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.

SLYGO
Well, ’51 has come and gone.
As I look back it wasn’t a very
bad year, but lets hope that
’52 will be better and this war
will be over and our boys com¬
ing home to stay, instead of on
furlough.
Seems a lot of our folks are
still holiday visiting. Mrs. Elmer
Burns spent New Year’s Day
with her daughter and son-in-
law, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Murphy
of Chattanooga.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hope of
Enstdale were the guests of her
I grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J
B. Sanders Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Street
and Mrs. E. F. Moore spent the
day Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Smith and family in
Tiftonia.
Mrs. Moore is probably mak¬
ing the most of her opportunity
this week. She and Clara Opal
and baby are spnding a few
days with her daughter, Mrs.
Ernest Graham of Daisy, Tenn.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank K. Pat¬
terson’s baby has been pretty
sick this week.
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.
Mrs. Edgar Moore

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.
