VOLUME LII BIT ’0 BULL By BROWNY h 3 -s been forgot¬ ten “ Board of Educa¬ tion" Th8 State has selected the “three neediest” counties in each of ‘ t ‘o e state’s ten congressional will be districts and money ent to improve and modem- sp school systems in those the counties. what the At least, thats release said. Bu: in the seventh ou r district—the three coun¬ _ ties selected for these im- nr 0 ments are Paulding, V r. Whitfield, in that order. We don’t like to sound ■ye are constantly fussng dipping about things like lit¬ tle kids. B U : I don’t believe there single county in the state a schools improved that n s its more than Dade. I don't believe there’s an¬ other county where none th; children have a gym play in. where some g0 140 miles a day to school and back, where many of the rooms in the county high school do not even have elec- r ic lights, where : labs are used for class roms. Some counties may be as bad off in a few re- pects but hardly in all of them. We don’t wish to seem spite¬ ful because we are glad to see • n i hbors in Walker, Whit- fi Id. and Paulding in line for hd improvements. But in all fairness, we may ask WHY Dade is not included in that list for school improve¬ ments . The answer ccmes back to us and it boils down to the fact that we brought it on our¬ selves . It is well known that due to the protest raised over the high school consolidation proposal in Dade, the State Board of Education has decided to leave us alone rather than start a fuss. In other words, we won’t get the money and the improve ments due us and that Dade children deserve because it ap¬ pears that we ourselves are too narrow to see further than the end of our noses. We have been this way at the expense of the school children of the whole county. The proposal was to build one, new, big, modern high school for the whole county. Not just fer Rising Fawn, or New Salem, or Wildwood or Davis or Trenton, but for the WHOLE COUNTY. They were not going to move Davis stu¬ dents to Dade High nor were they going to move Dade stu¬ dents to Davis High. The chil¬ dren at Dade High were to be taken out of their school as well as the children at Davis and all put into a big building which could offer more oppor¬ tunities for all of them. I’ was to be ALL NEW build¬ ing, with a modern gym, faci- n’i&s for teaching chemistry, nhysics. typing, cooking and all those things that other chil- d r en get and ours don’t.

Clark property in Trenton at auction on Friday, February 29- The property includes <* 50 x 140 foot concrete block build- ing, built for a skating rink, a two bedroom house with ad- joining garage and 10 lots. The Board paid $10,600 for the en- tire property. j The bidding was first open- ed on eac h piece of property separately. Mr. Tommy Walk- er bid $5,100 on the skating rink building. Walker is owner of the Walker Manufacturing Company of Chattanooga. Jerry Pace bid $2,525 on the house and garage. Those participat¬ ing most in the bids were Jerry Pace, A. W. Peck, Maddox J. Hale, and J. L. McCauley. After the preliminary bid¬ ding was finished, which to¬ taled $9,255 for all the proper- ty, bids were opened for a sin- |gle purchase of the entire pro- perty. Bidding on the property were A. W. Peck and the Board of Education represented by Roy W. Moore Supt., of Schools, Equipments and attachments Pullen Buys Trans-Planter A trans-planter has been brought into Dade by Bill Pullen, who thinks it will be of value in planting trucks crops, it will fertilize and water the plant as it sets them out, he SayS ’ It ought to work all right | m Dade, Pullen says. It was bought at Tail Creek commu- Blty, near Ellijay, Which is about as far back from no- i where as one can go. If it ] works there, and it did, conti- nued Pullen, it sure ought to be good here. Donate to the Red Cross to help them to collect Blood for our boys who are in world combat, to give them relief from their wounds and prolong their lives. They are begging for blood. They are suffering many hardships for our Free- 3om while we are home in the land of plenty. Eack 2,000 yars ago there was a red cross spattered with the blood of Our L.rd and Saviour, Jesus Christ, of the Salvation ;f our Souls and our future wel¬ fare . So please give to a worthy cause and accept Christ and make this a better world in which to live. W.' H. Dugan.
