Work On
Plans are being made for
County this summer to
have a Recreation Center for
the children. The members of
Masonic Lodge have said
the grounds outside their build
ing may be used for this pur¬
pose.
■V- k to level the grounds is
to start this week with Mr.
Dave L Brown giving the use
c: one of his bulldozers for this
purpose. Tennis, Badminton
Volley Ball courts, two
horse shoe pitching rings,
swings, slides sand boxes and
ot'.f : equipment is planned and
will be provided if the public’s
ponse is generous. Many
have volunteered to help but
money will be needed for equip¬
ment and supplies. Several
have already volunteered for
supervision of the grounds and
the children.

To Begin Here Soon
Some time ago there was a
'it tennis court on the grounds and
is hoped that by changing
the direction a little,'two courts
can be made. All courts will be
out in the open which will
leave the shade of the trees for
the younger children’s swings,
slides and sand boxes.
Rev Ed Kelly, who is in
charge of the Goodwill Mission
with headquarters in the
sonic Lodge is working hard to
get; this Recreation Center
started as soon as possible.
Those who are working on this
have estimated that it will take
about $400.00 to get enough
equipment to open; $90.00 has
already been given. A Recrea¬
tion Center is a haven for our
children and should be ade¬
quately supported by all. Send
or give your donation to Ed
Kelly now, that this worthy
project may be hurried along.
New Display Shelves
The builders’ hardware shelves
have everything amateur for profession- the car-j 1
penter, or
al. There are also sections
marked for tools, plumbing sup¬
plies, bolts, farm tools, paints,'
sport supplies.
John Tatum says the sports ;
shop is featuring fishing sup-;
plies and expects to have a
complete line of tackle by the
end of the week.
The management invites
everybody to come in and have
a look. You won’t know the
place. It looks like there’s^a lot
more merchandise, but actually
it’s only displayed better, and
arranged for the customers
convenience.
is the pride and joy of the de¬
partment. Mrs. Hughes say*
the students are crazy about it
and all want to use it. She
has found it necessary to ar¬
range a practice schedule for
the machine, so that all her
tudents will have a chance to
use it.
The new machine, a product
of International Business Ma¬
chines, looks like a standard
typewriter, but works on elec¬
tricity. The real difference is
that so little effort is reouired
to manipulate it. It needs no
more than a slight fingertip
pressure to depress the k e y°-
The keyboard is slightly dufer-
ent, but only with the least
used characters'. It it not hard
to change over from a stand¬
ard typewriter.
Cuts Down Fatigue
By uing the machine an
hour at a time, Mrs. Hughes
says, her students are begin¬
ning to realize how much less
tiring it is to operate toils ma¬
chine than one of the manual
models. It involves almost no
arm movement. A fingertip
touch returns the carriage au¬
tomatically. Another advant¬
age of the electric machine is
in the quality of the work it
puts out. With mechanical
operation, a steady, even pres¬
sure results and all the letters
nome out the same shade— no
dark and light spots. Also, up
to twenty carbon copies may be
made at one time without any
more effort on the part of the
operator.
So many offices are being
equipped with these electric

Hughes explains, that she felt

Dictaphone Easy to Operate
The jFktaphone in the class¬
room is another interesting ap¬
paratus. The message the boss
dictates come out in the form
of grooves on a small plastic
belt. This little belt is inserted
into the dictaphone. A tiny
earphone, which looks much
like a hearing aid, slips over
the ear and transmit the mes¬
sage. The stenographer who is
taking it down, starts and stops
the device with a pedal under
the table. On the control panel
are three little knobs which
adjust the volume, tone, and
speed of transmission.

Dade P.f.A. Hears
Mr. Tapley Thursday
Parents’ night w r as the occa¬
sion cf an address by Earl Ta¬
pley of the University of Chat¬
tanooga to the Dade School P.
T. A. last Thursday night,
April 1. Mr. Tapley gave a very
effective talk to the group of
80 members on the subject of
closer and better relationships
between parents and teachers.
During the business session,
j^g initial plans were discussed for
scboo i’ s annual spring car-
nival. A committee was ap-

itook the attendance prize,
There were six present out of a
possible 18. The room having
the highest attendance percent-
age gains possession of a ban
ner.
If the stenographer should
miss a word or get behind, he
can press another pedal and
the belt will reverse itself, and
the last part can be replayed.
An extra fast typist can thus
take dictation directly from
the dictaphone without even
using shorthand. In any case,
the device makes both the boss’
; and the secretary’s job a lot
easier. But the machine will
i never take the place of short¬
hand, predicts Mrs. Hughes.
The spirit duplicator is a de¬
vice that will print copies made
on a carbon. It looks like a
small mimeograph machine,
but works on a different prin¬
ciple. A fluid is poured in,
which moistens the roller and
at the same time, the carbon
j impression is stamped on the
papers as they are fed through.
The acquisition of the three
machines b typical of the pro¬
gress that is being shown in
Dade’s business education. In
line with this expansion, the
-chool has added two new
courses to the curriculum. |
This year the students may
take second year typing and
shorthand, as well as first year (
typing and beginning book-
keeping. The bookkeeping
course is designed to acquaint
the students with the princi¬
ples and some basic problems
in double entry accounting. The
students also learned how to
: fill out income tax report
forms. They are planning a
visit to a bank soon, mainly to
see how the bookkeeping ma¬
chines operate.

Counril Hears Plans
The The Trpnt.nn Trenton Hfv city council)
Monday night heard plans for
the construction of a sewage
disposal system for the city. !
The plans and recommenda-'
tions were presented to the'
group by F. A. Medford, re-
presenting the J. B. McCrary
Engineers Corporation of At- 1
lanta. J
The sewerage proposal had' 1
been prepared .in considerable
detail largely on the strength
of recommendation of the State
Public Health Department. Re-
portedly, department officials 1
have expressed growing concern
over Trenton’s present inade-
quate methods of sewage dis-
posal. They fear that the lack
of proper sanitary safeguards
in the present system of septic
tanks might in time result in'
unhealthful conditions that
could cause a serious epidemic
The plan calls for two main
lines running from the center
of town, past the proposed new
Dade High School building, and
to a sewage disposal plant
which would be constructed „ n
the banks of Lookout Creek
outside the city limits. One of
these lines would run north-
ward, the other southward
from the square, and both
would run eastward toward
the creek.
Alternate Plan Presented
Mr. Medford expressed doubt
that the city could finance both
the two main lines at present
and recommended that one or
the other be chosen as an im¬
mediate objective. The line
running northward would cost
an estimated $39,114.25 and the
alternate line to the south
$45,424.75. Both lines would
take in the school and the
business district.
These figures do not include
the smaller lines running di¬
rectly from residence near the
main lines. These would have
to be at least partially financed
by individual owners. Council I
members expressed the opinion
that individual users would be
willing to pay the necessary as¬
sessment, since they would no
longer have the expense of sep¬
tic tank unkeep.
Home Demonstration Arrives
Miss Naomi Hubble, Dadei
County’s new home demonstra-
ticn agent arrived in Trenton'
last week and set up her office
in the court house behind the
door marked “Board of Roads” |
Miss Hubble comes to us from
Rabun County in northeast
Georgia where she has been
serving as agent there for the
last 2Vz years.
Miss Hubble indicated she
was glad to come back to this
section of the state. Having
lived for several years on the
Alabama side of Sand Moun-
tain, she is no stranger to these!
parts. She now calls Chatta¬
nooga home.
The new agent attended the j :
University of Chattanooga and
was graduated from Middle Ten-
nessee State College ln Mur-
phee^boro, with a major in home
economics. I
Interest High
Mrs. Hughes says she is en
couragd by the interest thi
students show in the courses
although they sometimes com
plain that they have to work tot
hard. “But I’m determined t<
keep the standards high,” de
clared Mrs. Hughes. “If a stu
dent gees out from' here badl;
prepared for the job he’s try
ing to hold down it would spoi
the chances for other Dad
students attempting to get job
in town.”
If vocational education is t«
be successful and useful, i
must call for the same higl
standards and degree of appli
cation as required by the aca
demic subjects. There is gooi
evidence that this is being ofo
served in Dade High’s busines
education department.
NUMBER 14
Mavor Mayor Dver Dyer and and nt.her other poun- coun-
ell members also believed tha1
the state would be willing to
allocate funds toward the con-
struction of the sewerage sys-
tom from that money which
had been earmarked for septic
tank construction for the pro-
posed new school building. It
was likewise felt that the coun-
ty government might set aside
funds which would have to be
used in the maintenance ol
sewerage from county buildings
in Trenton,
Additional money required foj
the P r °i ect would likely have
to be Poured by the sale of
bonds. It was emphasized that
the project was a lon g ran S e
P^ an and wculd take years to
accomplish.
Discuss Traffic Matters
The council ako discussed
severa -l traffic proposals. Mr.
? ,rom yer the J ead »tate , f hrglvway ^commendation depart-

the highway. It would ,„ operate
as a stop and go signal between
the hours of 7:30 to 9:00 A. M.
and 3:00 to 4:00 P. M. During
the other hours of the day it
would be a flashing caution
signal. The department consi¬
ders this desirable as a protec¬
tion for the school children
crossing at the intersection. The
council voted to apply for a
permit to establish such a
signal at this point, to be in¬
stalled when funds are avail¬
able.
The council voted to put stop
sign on Bond Street at Its in¬
tersection with Crabtree Streel
(the corner with Dr. Middle-
ton’s on the east _and Mrs. De
Witt Williams house on the
west side). Crabtree Streel
which runs from the highwaj
toward the depot will have th(
right-of-way.
Mr. Dyer announced that the
state highway departmen -
plans to erect an island on the
Sand Mountain road neai
where it intersects highway 11
This was considered necessary
to prevent cars from driving
outside their lane when turn¬
ing into highway 11.
Last Friday Miss Hubble was
quite busy getting her new of-
flce in ghape> sweeping( dust „

ever they need my srvices.”
