A new hosiery mill employ, ins fifty people would just about double the industry in Trenton Not many towns could double their total indus- trv with one step. Let’s see. if Trenton gets the new mill that will raise it up to last place in industry among Georgia county seats. / It would probably mean more money floating around in Dade County to be spent for taxes. Taxes—that’s when you get something you think you’ve got, then the government gets what you’ve got, so you haven’t got what you thought you had gotten after all. Or just another way of say¬ ing you’re always broke. Ike says the government can get by on less taxes if he gets in. Adlai admits he won’t be able to lower taxes, balance the budget, or do anything that’s needed so much. Harry told him so. Trouble with Adlai is that he’ll be trying to work a pair of worn-out mules. Changing the driver of the mules from Harry to Adlai won’t help make the old, expensive and compla¬ cent mules work any better. And Adlai couldn’t get rid of them for a new team because it would hurt Harry’s feelings. Somebody said Ike has a brantl-new tractor waiting to take over. Adlai and Harry really got their signals crossed when Ad¬ lai told reporters he was going to ‘ clean up the mess in Wash. ington. ” The mixup came when they were talking over the tele¬ phone, Adlai getting his in¬ structions from the boss, and Harry told him that he would really have to ‘‘clean up and dress in Washington.” ‘‘I’m sorry, Mr. Truman,” Adlai said the next day over the phone. ‘‘I thought you told mf I’d have to “clean up the mess”, not “cleand up and dress.’ ' You’re not being paid to think, Adlai,” Harry reminded him.

Those who have not been contacted are urged to see their community committee¬ man oir come by the County Agent’s office at the court¬ house. Reports from all over Geor. gia indicate that the Septem¬ ber 9 drive was very successful and 35,365 members were re¬ ported after the one-day drive reports were turned in. Many more will be recorded before the state convention in late October, according to the state office. Amendments Will Appear Nine Times State Runs Constitutional Amendments in State Paperra; Voted Upon Nov. 4 The State of Georgia is pay¬ ing for a number of proposed Constitutional amendments, which will appear on the bal¬ lot on November 4, to appear in county organ papers throughout the state nine times. This is the third week that these proposed amend¬ ments have appeared in The Dade County Times. During the nine weeks that the amendments are printed, it is hoped that everyone who is qualified to vote in the No¬ vember election will read these amendments so that he or she will know what to vote for or against and not accept some¬ one else’s word for it. w m A£f L. C. ADAMS STRAWBERRY CROPS NEED FERTILIZING DURING SEPT. Now is the time for all good strawberry growers to feed their plants. Strawberries should be fer¬ tilized during September be¬ cause fruit buds are produced during the short days of late fall. As a general rule use of a 6-8.6 fertilizer at the rate of 400 to 600 pounds per acre will give satisfactory results. Use of one gallon per 100 feet of a row by small-path growers is recommended. If you want strawberries for the table or to sell each year you have to set out strawberry plants each year. Since straw¬ berry plants become very crowded and since individual plants produce the crop they must have room to develop if they are expected to produce a good quality of fruit. There¬ fore, excess plants are as harm ful as weeds and should be _ treated as such. with the play of Lawrence Woodyard ___ , on defense ____ in in 4 the Vi o Davis game and by the per¬ formances of Billy Joe Gifford and Oscar Barton, first-year halfbacks. The team as a whole, they are quick to say, was very unimpressive against Davis. This is the first year v that Davis has had a team. The Dade team will enter the Dunlap game with no var¬ sity injuries, Billue said. Sub¬ fullback Billy Blackstock, out last week, will be back in the lineup. to On offense Billue expects start the same backfield that began last week's game. That will be Ronald (Cubie) Steele as fullback, Norris (Knothole) Sims and Oscar Barton at ■ halves, halves, and and Merrill Merrill (Gechie) ■ I Smyth at quarterback Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade and THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1952 Named Georgia 4-H Club Officers These six boys and girls have been elected by fellow 4-H Club members to head the Georgia 4-H Club Council in 1953. Seven hundred 4-H’ers, delegates to the 19th annual conference of the State 4-H Council in Milledgeville, elected them from a record number of 32 candidates. Left to right, the new officers are: LaVerne Lynn, Decatur County, girls’ vice-president; Kathryn Fricks, Dade, secretary; Frank Hardee, Appling, reporter (rear); Jimmy Branyon, Clarke, treasurer; Joyce Venable, Jackson, president; and Bobby Rowan, Berrien, boys’ vice-president. .«> Davis Schedules Eight “B” Games Wooden Fence Reiru Built Around Field A schedule of eight “B” games has been completed by Coach Phil Woodard and Principal D. C. Chumley of Davis High School. The Davis Yellow Jackets, playing their first sea¬ son of football, will play against the “B” teams of larger high schools this year. Two games have been sche¬ duled with each of the follow¬ ing “B” squads: Chattanooga Central, Summerville, LaFa- yette, and Calhoun. The season tickets will be on sale soon, Chumley stated. Some of the citizens of the com munityare cutting timber to build a wooden fence around the football field, he added. The Yellow Jackets are show, ing a lot of improvement in practice this week, stressing defensive end play that ap¬ peared so ragged in the 30-0 loss to Dade High last week. A transfer from Pisgah, Ala., has added greatly to the end corps. “We were proud of our line play in the Dade game,” Chumley said, ‘‘and feel that our line is superior to theirs.” But he added that he thinks that Dade has the best back- field of any small school he has seen recently. Flower Show At Fair Planned by HD Clubs Council Will Sponsor Booth Demonstrations The Dade County Home Dem¬ onstration Council will sponsor a flower show at the Fair on October 3rd and 4th and it will be open to the public, Mrs. Myrna McMahan, council pre¬ sident, announced this week. The council, she continued, will have a booth at the Fair where hand.made articles will be sold. A demonstration on straw hat and bag making and coper tooling will be given at the booth also. SUPPER SATURDAY AT MORGANVILLE CHURCH A supper wll be held in the basement of the Morganville church Saturday night, Sep¬ tember 20, at 6:30 P- m.

Advances, Drubs Monteagle 11-4 Dalton Will At Rising Fawn Sunday No Dade Requests For Loans Or Hay Although Georgia has been de¬ clared a disaster area due to the drought this summer and the state was recently made available to the hay shipments furnished by the government to aid farmers, there have been no reqests for loans or hay in Dade County, T. R. Tucker, FHA administrator in this dis¬ trict declared Tuesday in Tren¬ ton. “One loan is being made in Catoosa County," he added, “and several other requests have been received from coun. ties other than Dade in this district.” He emphasized, however, that this area was not damaged to the extent that many other areas of the state and sur¬ rounding states were. Your Sanitarian Thomas W. Fox Mosquitoes in Trenton Due to Standing Water. Ditches It has been called to my at¬ tention a number of times in Trenton that there is an abun¬ dance of mosquitoes in the community. During my inves- tigations in and around town, I have noticed in particular se- veral places from which mos_ qultoes are definitely. These sources are: Ditches with standing water, efluent from septic tanks and grease traps or kitchen drains which make ideal breeding places, tin cans and bottles or jars which have caught water, automobile tires with water standing in them, and other places where water stands for a few days. - In order to generally and specifically safeguard the health of the community, es- pecially to prevent the inci- dence of malaria and other in- sect-born dtsaases, and to maintain the sanitary environ- ment of the community well as the comfort which we all desire at home, there are several things which we, as Individuals can do to help safeguard our community from disease and discomfort from mosquitoes. * First, we must rid our pre¬ mises of weeds and tall.grow- ing grasses so that we can lo¬ cate the breeding places. Then we must gather up all the tin cans, bottles, tires, and (Continued en Inside Court Convenes for Week Talmadge’s Letter Received By Peck Governor Urging Ordinaries To Aid Passing Amendments The letter sent to all Georgia Ordinaries by Governor Her¬ man Taimadge regarding the constitutional amendments which will appear on the bal¬ lot November 4 has been re, ceived by A. W. Peck, Dade County Ordinary. On being asked to comment regarding the Governor’s re¬ quest that the Ordinaries lend what help they can at the polls to help pass the county unit amendment, Mr. Peck de¬ clared that he is personally in favor of the amendment and will do what he can to help it pass. “It Is definitely to the ad¬ vantage of Georgians who live in rural and small counties to vote for the measure,” he stated. The threat of bloc vot¬ ing in large urban areas which would remove practically all political power in the state from the rural people and to the big cities can only be coped with by the county unit sys¬ tem, he continued. “If I lived in a large city I would probably feel dif¬ ferently,” he said* “but the unit system helps prevent big- city machines from taking control of a state as happens and has happened in so many places.” Health Lecture At Courthouse Saturday An illustrated lecture, “Health and Happiness,” will be pres¬ ented at the Dade County courthouse Saturday night, September 20, at 7:30 P. M. Members of the Wildwood Sa¬ nitarium staff, including W. D. Frazee, president, and Dr. Alan Harmer, medical direc¬ tor, are in charge. In announcing the lecture, Mr. Frazee said: “We are glad to extend the educational work of the sanitarium to the people ■ ) W. D. FRAZEE of Dade County. Much sickness can be prevented; and we want to help as many people as pos¬ 1 sible before they get sick. 1 “Health and happiness are so closely linked together it is impossible for people to have all they want of one without the other,” he continued. “The One who made us planned that we should enjoy life to the full. By learning and fol¬ lowing His way of life, we can avoid much disease and trou¬ ble. Recent discoveries in me¬ dical science are in striking agreement with principles re¬ vealed long ago in the Bible.” The results of interesting ex¬ periments will be shown on the screen. All are invited to this com¬ munity gathering. A second lecture, dealing with another phase of health, will be presented Tuesday night. The American Legion’s Dade County basebal team won its first Chattanooga city-series game last Saturday, eliminat¬ ing Monteagle 11-4 at Darwin Field. Bim Patton got credit for the victory, although being relieved by Bud Page with one out in the seventh. Hugh Philips led Dade at the plate with three hits. Bill Presley, Roy McMahan, Bud Page and Sonny Ellison each got doubles. Patton gave up srven hits for four runs in 6 1/3 innings and Page gave up three hits for no runs in a 2 2/3 innings. Dalton will come to Rising Fawn for a replay of the Look¬ out Valley League champion¬ ship Sunday at 3:00. Dade County, first-half winner, and Dalton, second-half winner, played to a 15-inning 9-9 tie at Dalton two weeks ago.

The , group studied the use and re¬ suits of Mr. Moore’s type of farming. The farm consists of a total of 42 acres, 21 acres in pasture, 10 acres cropland, 5 acres or- chard, 4 acres woods and 2 acres yard, building, etc. i The crop rotation generally followed by Mr. Moore on his cropland and the open areas of his orchard is - corn folow- ed by lespedeza, for 1 or 2 ; years, lespedeza followed by hard seed crimson clover in j the the fall next and spring, corn or truck crops | This cropland and orchard is class II and III land, gently sloping, deep Mountain land.

Published NUMBER 37 Dyer Foreman, Wilhite Secretary of Grand Jury The September term of the Dade County Superior Court convened Monday morning with Judge Freeman S. Me Clure, judge of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit pre¬ siding. The Grand Jury was charged and retired to the jury room where they began hearing wit¬ nesses. The Grand Jury will probably make its presentments Thursday. A. L. Dyer was elected Fore¬ man of the Grand Jury, W. H. Wilhite was elected Secretary, and Jim Jenkins was named Bailiff. Judge's Charge Following an opening prayer by the Rev. Joe E. Baker of Rising Fawn Methodist Church Judge McClure formally de¬ clared the court in session and began his charge to the Grand Jury. The March Grand Jury, he declared, is the jury that regu¬ larly inspects the county of¬ fices but that any jury may do it If it sees fit. No juryman can cite on a case of a person with whom he is related within the 6th de¬ gree, McClure said, explaining that this meant third cousins or closer relation. The grand jury, he said, has the right and power to make presentments of all violations of the law. The deliberations before the grand jury are se¬ cret and should remain so un¬ til called upon in court. The judge said that jurymen are in court at a sacrifice of their own time. Judge McClure gave the fol¬ lowing Instructions: 1. The fall term jury sets the fees of the jurors and bail¬ iff for the next year, with a minimum of $2 and maximum of $6 per day. 2. Investigate the clerk or ordinary for vacancies of Jus¬ tices of the Peace or Notary Publics and specify the dis¬ tricts . 3. Clerk vacancies on Board of Health, Board of Education, or Board of Registrars. 4. People make complaints about violations of the law. The court refers these matters to the sheriff. If law violations take the interest of the citi¬ zens, they should take out a warrant or wait and eome be¬ fore the Grand Jury—or keep still. Law enforcement is not entirely the sheriff’s job. Every citizen must be interested and take action. The Judge stressed that most important was the fact there Is too much illegal liquor and too many homes being broken up and too many delin¬ quent children. Also, he said, there are too many violations of traffic laws. If the traffic and liquor laws were more strictly enforced, McClure continued, there were be fewer law suits. Juvenile Court Children under 17 who com- mit misdemeanors should be brought before a juvenile court, the judge said, and he volunteered to serve as judge. Felonies, however, should be acted upon by the grand jury. Colonel Speaks Cel. Burk, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Safety, delivered a short talk on the need for better enforce¬ ment of traffic laws. He said the State Patrol was doing ‘ a fine job”. He declared that law officers are doing all they can because public opinion is not backing them up. Most of Monday and Tues¬ day was taken up with N. A. Hardin vs. D. T. Brown, a land case. It was thrown out due to insufficient evidence on a motion by defense attorneys, McClure and Maddox Hale.
