You know, the
nued, it’s back up the road
w p ere you had to swerve to
m iss something. That was the
courthouse — that’s Trenton.
Trenton has long been known
as the place on the road where
you have to turn to keep from
running into the courthouse.
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.
And Harry ought to know.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Soil Conservation
By HUGH CLARK
During “Soil Conservation
Week” last week, one of the ac-
J study tivities by was the a veteran meeting class and at
Art Moore’s Farm on Lookout
Mountain last Thursday. 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-

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.
