Oade County’s Only Ne wspaper. ____ VOLUME lii 9 O’ Bull Bit BY browny STEPHENS! "x^Pthat court has adjourn¬ until December, lots of folks Su ed .settle back to normal life Sun-trying to to figure get into what so kilV “ ; or meanness an have something on the ;ve c docket next time. Or trying to think up new to get out of any rap that ways against them. might come up With court out of the way for hile a fellow can find a parking place around the for a change. And Mad- square L time enough to 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 -•• P^ r r )uld ’ of have it ought been to be true. She ^ enjoying it, anv ra te. If not she would have done better to have stay- home. And no one will doubt the f; 15 r ; / f he about bein^ “cool”—that has ever felt the water U P (here at the Alpines.

Some Judges Announced; Livestock Sale Saturday Friday and Saturday are the big days for the 1952 Dade County Fair. The Fair will be held at the old skating rink building in Trenton this year. Livestock pens will be located on the east side of the building. Communities and organiza¬ tions having booths and exhi¬ bits are requested to have them ready by noon Friday. Those entering cattle are asked to have their entries in place by 10:00 a. m. Saturday and judging will begin immediately. Judges Announced Some of the judges for the booths and exhibits were an¬ 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 Georgia Power Company in Summerville. Judges for the livestock show were not learned. The livestock sale will begin at 1:00 p. m. The largest and best group of feeder calves ever offered for sale in Dade Coun- ty will be shown, County Agent L. C. Adams declared. There is also a large number of steers, he said, that will be put up for sale. 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.

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.
