Hale has
ake his “coffee breaks’ once
auain And Roy Moore has his
‘office back from the Grand
Jury.
That’s one thing that every
Grand Jury accomplishes —
moving the Superintendent of
Schools out fnto the hall.
The Grand Jury is composed
of the citizens of the county
and it is suposed to check up
and see that everything is be¬
ing run right. It meets, de¬
cides on the cases brought be¬
fore it. and makes its present¬
ments.
There's a lot of good in the
presentments and recommen¬
dations, I guess, but it seems
like the recommendations
might be a waste of time.
No one pays any attention to
them anyway. (For instance,
read those made by the March
Grand Jury of this year.)
We’ve got a lot done this
y ear _or someone has. There’s
a football field at Trenton and
at Davis. And then there’s the
new Dade County Health Cen¬
ter, completed in July.
Of course, no one has been
moved into it yet and we’re a
little uncertain as to what it is
for or what it is supposed to be
for.
But ain’t it purty, though?
The Sand Mountain road
through White Oak Gap is just
about finished. And the Look¬
out Mountain highway has
been “finished” ever since it
first started sliding a couple of
years ago.
A lady in Trenton told me
that our paper printed some
false information about her.
We reported in the local co¬
lumn that she and her hus¬
band and family were enjoying
‘a cool swim at the Alpines
mar DeSoto State Park” one
weekend.
She protests that she wasn’t
swimming and that it was an
invasion of her privacy to re¬
port this in the paper.
Can’t be all that bad. Don’t
know exactly what it was she
didn’t like, unless it was being
reported as being out with her
husband.
R’s true that I can’t prove
"he did any swimming but I
era see them leaving Alpine as
1 drove up. And that's what
P ? °Ple go there for, anyway. If
s he wasn’t swimming, then

tions having booths and exhi¬
bits are requested to have

by 10:00 a. m. Saturday and
judging will begin immediately.
Judges Announced
Some of the judges for the

nounced this week. They are
R. O. Williams, landscape
specialist from Athens, Paul A.
Crawford, Jr., rural electrifi-
cation specialist from Athens,
and Mrs. Edna Fuller, of the

Dade Students Can
Purchase Insurance
Low Cost Accident Insurance
At One Dollar a Year Offered
Dade County students have
the opportunity of purchasing
low cost accident insurance
for only $1.00 a year under a
blanket policy issued to the
superintendent of schools.
The Policy is underwritten
by Pilot Life Insurance Com¬
pany of Greensboro, N. C.,
and provides medical expenses
benefits up to $1,000 for acci-
dents occurring while traveling
to and from school,
school, and participating in
extra-curricular activities ex-
cept social activities and inter-
scholastic football. Other be-
nefits include $1,000 for loss of
life and from $1,000 to $7,500
for loss of hands, feet or eyes.
Each child will be given a
folder explaining the plan and
if their parents desire this
coverage, they may send $1.00
to the school with their chil¬
dren for a full year’s coverage.
Roy Moore, Superintendent
of Dade County Schools, said
that this plan has been used
other states over a period of
five years and has been very
successful in relieving the fi-
nancial burden which occurs
when an accident happens. It
was tried on an experimental
basis in some Georgia Counties
last year and proved so suc¬
cessful that Mr. Moore Is hop¬
ing that all parents will take
advantage of this low cost pro¬
tection being offered through
the school system.
Wildcats Defeat Deaf 7-6
The Dade Wildcats pushed
over an early touchdown and
added an extra point and
fought off the Georgia School
for Deaf team to take a 7-6
victory at Cave Spring. It was
the second win for Dade
against one loss.
Fullback Cubie Steele bucked
over for the only Dade touch¬
down after a long drive the
first time the Wildcats got
their hands on the ball. A pass
from Steele to halfback Knot¬
hole Sims was good for the ex¬
tra point and proved the win¬
ning margin.
The School for Deaf came
back for its score in the second
quarter but the try for the ex¬
tra point was unsuccessful.
The air lanes proved, as they
did against Dunlap, to be the
best weapon of the Wildcats.
D evoted t o the Best Interests o i Dade County and Georgia.

County Bond Sales
Campaign Launched
“A Bond buyer for every man
and woman in the Armed
Forces.”
Miss Bess Cureton, County
Chairman, announced the
above as an objective for the
remainder of 1952,
There are, according to in¬
formation from "Selective Ser¬
vice, 257 men and women now
serving in the Armed Forces of
this nation from Dade County.
Chairman Cureton’s plan is
simple, she asks the coopera¬
tion of everybody of every
Service Club, every Veterans’
group, Federated Women’s
Club and men and women in
Farm Bureaus to help put ovet
this drive.
PAYROLL SAVINGS PRO¬
GRAMS WILL COUNT.
Workers on payroll savings
plan will be counted on this
goal.
Bond-A-Month buyers among
professional and business peo¬
ple will be counted on this
goal.
Every school room that has
stamp sales programs can be
counted on this goal.
Dade County has not reached
its 1952 goal of $15,000.
Sales to August 31st were
$3,226, 21.5% of the goal.
Chairman Cureton points
out, however, that irrespective
of goals, it is the opportunity
of every citizen to become a
Tegular Bond buyer to show
the men and women who are
sewing from our County that
the people back home are help¬
ing to make this County strong
by buying Defense Bonds.
