OUR PLEDGE OF ALLIANCE AT NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK The Dade County Times is proud to join with the other 10,000 newspaper in America as we celebrate the 13th an¬ nual National Newspaper Week, October 1-8 Our calendars .are crowded with special weeks and spe¬ cial days, but this one is dif¬ ferent. It Is almost entirely non-commercial. We don’t expect to sell more papers or more advertising. It is rather the time each year when we newspaper editors pause to rededicate ourselves to our greatest res¬ ponsibility-community serv¬ ice. We Invite you, our read¬ ers, to look at us critically, make suggestions to us, help TAX LEVY By comparing last year’s Tax Levy with this year’s we find the total valuation of the county has gone up $50,517 and the net value has Increased $165,669. The year’s tax levy is twenty-five mills or $2.50 on the $10o and last year’s was thirty-five mills The levy for the operation of the County-wide school system remains the same at fifteen mills. The Curent Expenses and/ or General County Purposes remains the same at five mills. Listed under Other Expenses are a few dif¬ ferences. Only two have been raised: For public health purpose in county and for collection and preservation of records of vital statistics and pay for old age assistance and neeay blind and dependent children and other welfare benefits. Reduced are repair and Ucals and Mr. J. J. Farmer is very ill at his home. L. C Adams was confined to bed with sickness last week. Billy Joe Bradford and Hamp Gray have just returned from army service in Germany. Tom Renfroe went on a fish¬ ing trip to Florida the latter part of last week. Miss Lei a Kimborough was in the hospital She suffered ex¬ traction of three teeth. E. A. Ellis has returned to Georgia Tech, and Sidney Park¬ er to Vanderbilt Miss Merrill Stewart, daugh¬ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stewart, is librarian at Camp¬ bell High School at Smyrna. Mrs. W F. Morison is reco¬ vering from a recent opera¬ tion. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs James Morrison, is as¬ sisting her in the office. JUST A THANK YOU NOTE I know of no better way than through The Dade Coun¬ ty paper to try and thank all the good people for their many cards and letters of kindness shown me for the four months I have been sick. I received one only today us produce better newspapers for you. The theme of our observ¬ ance this year is “Your Right to Know ... A Constitutional Guarantee." Your right to know, your right to the news of your community, state and nation gives your newspaper the right to tell you this news. The right to tell is much more than a right or privil¬ ege; it is a grave responsibil¬ ity which we newspaper edi¬ tors cannot take lightly. It is an essential element of a free society. On slogan this year is “Your Newspaper Lights the Way of Freedom" May we always do just that. Our pledge to you at National Newspaper Week is that we shall always do our best to justify that slogan. build public buildings and bridges, support of paupers, pay to County agent and Home Demonstration agent, providing for fire protection of forest lands and conser¬ vation of natural resources, provided medical and other care and hospital fon indi¬ gent sick, salary of tax com¬ missioner and salary of soli¬ citor general. Last year’s items amount¬ ing to 17 cents on the $100 which are ommited this year are: acquire, improve and maintain airports, public parks and public libraries; providing for workmen's compensation and retirement or pension funds for officers and employees; and provid¬ ing a reasonable reserve for public improvements as may be fixed by law. All of this reduces the to¬ tal for other expenses from 2.77 last year to 1.77 this year making for the decrease in the Total Tax Levy. I CLOVERDALE I Glad to report all the sick people in our community are up and are much better. Mrs. William Phillips has returned to her mother’s home after a serious operation. Ed Bible, Jr., and family, from Macon, were week end vi¬ sitors with home folks Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Alford, Jr., (Frances Bible) are spend¬ ing a few days with Ma and Pa Bible. Ben has finished 13 weeks training and is report¬ ing to California for further training. with a very nice verse from Psalms, “God is oun refuge and strength: a very present help in trouble.” How true this is for without Him we can gain nothing. Also, I want to thank the people for the very, very beau¬ tiful flowers, especially the State Line Methodist Church, Cloverdale Baptist, Rising Fawn Baptist, Byrd’s Chapel Community group, the Com¬ bustion Boiler Makers group and all the good neighbors and friends for their flowers and potted plants which they have brought in.
