County’s On ly New s paper. VOLUME lii bit ’0 BULL Hy BROWNY Friday Is Memorial Day. It la day to honor and pay tribute Americana who have died w country. (or their It is also a day to pay tri¬ bute to those Americans who ha ve died defending their country the same as any others but have done so in a war which their government has tcld them is not a war. Americans are dying the same as they did at Guadaca- a ] They suffer in Korea the same as they did at Cassino, and when they die they are as dead. Tell them that it is not a war. Next Memorial Day there will be others who, tragically, will be honored by the country on May 30. There will be many others — maybe someone close to you, someone you see and meet every day now. The world travels fast and tomorrow brings something different. Friday as we honor those heroes in Korea we may think back to the start of the Ko¬ rean War. It has already last¬ ed longer than U. S. partici¬ pation in World War I What were you doing on June 24, 1950? I was in school at the Uni¬ versity of Georgia. During the entire summer every radio news broadcast found an au¬ dience of anxious ears. We ‘alked about Korea constantly. We laughed a little and made jokes, but they were “serious” jokes. We were worried — not just that we might have to all leave school to fight again but afraid that it was beginning all over again. We joked with GI students about the GI Bill running out -and getting a chance to re¬ new it the hard way. The first "missing in action" telegram since World War II was received by Mrs. Alma. Fluke in Los Angeles on July 6, 1950. We thought all that kind of stuff had ended in 1945 . American troops moved into combat early in July. They were a thin line against 50 to 1 odds at first. Americans didn't like to retreat but there was nothing else to do. On July 11 we learned that the first Georgian to be killed In the Korean War was Norman Reese Carnes, a boy who had i^t graduated at the Univer¬ sity of Georgia In 1949 and re¬ ceived his army commission ‘ rom the R.O.T.C. at the col¬ lege. Some of the students had known him. I was writing alumni news for the Georgia Alumni magazine. It was my i b to write up his obituary for the magazine, it wasn't easy to do. Robert C. Miller, UP corres¬ pondent, described the early fighting: Men that you knew only a ,ew hour s ago as friends—fresh ea::er ' ioking youngsters — “ me back wet and filthy from i_?wling Their through rice paddies. their eyes are bloodshot and legs rubbery. .. a ^ by ne stumbles buddy. past support- a He holds his head k and it jerks spasmodic- ‘; V as i: trying to shut out the 5 n exploding b ! ent roar ai »d crash of shells.

For the second time in less than 10 years American boys are dying on foreign soil against an enemy who would 'destroy our country, our freedom, our independence. It is so easy to forget that we are in a war—too easy to forget. On this Memorial Day we pause to pay reverent tribute to those who gave so much. We pay tribute to the boys who marched away to die at Chateau-Thierry in 1918, at Bastogne in 1944, at the Manchurian border in 1950, and at the numerous places where Americans fought and died. We vow they will not be forgotten. We pray to God that soon our mission will be completed, and those who died may rest in peace. Janie Bradford Annual Editor Janie Bradford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Bradford, . of New Salem, was elected editor of the Dade High School annual last week for the year 1952-53.

FORESTRY DADE COUNTY Thre are some few men in Dade County who have money to burn Evidence may be seen in the charred remains scattered in the woodlands and mountains of Dade County. Thousands of young trees were killed and maimed by the forest fires that raged recently Perhaps these fires were started from a legitimate rea¬ son of burning bff their own fence rew or burning off the heavy accumulation of leaves on their own woodlot where the family feeds But what about the adjoining woodland? Does a cow the wind is blowing from 10 thoughtful person start a fire when to 30 miles hour? If one saw a thief taking a hundred dollars an be considered nobody out of his neighbor’s pocketbook would it a business? There are state laws governing fires and responsbidity fires. It is the duty of those who do not know these laws to for abide by law that is made for acquaint themselves with and a the good of all especially those that benefit unborn generations. Give the lovely trees a chance to grow. ^«ey.

Billue reports. This will be the first time since 1948, when Georgia began the changeover from 11 to 12 grades, that there will be four full classes in high school. Seventy were registered for the 8th grade. In addition. 23 from North Dade and 9 from New Salem will enter the 8th grade at Dade Elementary next year. Due to crowded condi¬ tions, North Dade and New Salem do not have but seven grades instead of the required eight grades of grammar school and their students must come to Dade Elementary for the 8th grade. Rising Fawn has the required eight grades and will send 18 students to Dade High as freshmen next year.
