STATE POLITICAL
DIGEST
Georgia legislators are near-
nr t^p home stretch cf one of
the state’s most harmonious
sessions of the General Assem¬
bly. The busy session, notable
the number o f unanimous
ntp s recorded, has approved
most of Gov. Griffin’s legisla¬
tive proposals.
During the past week the
Senate passed bills which would:
1. Outlaw the use of fireworks
m rte Hate except at public
events.
2. Provide fer the use of school
app cpriations only as need¬
ed. It seeks to tie the outlay
of school funds more closely
to the ADA (average daily at¬
tendance) by authorizing a
midterm survey to determine
what changes in the ADA
have occurred since school
c-pened.
3 Give towns and cities power
over some local matters now
controlled b y the legislature.
It has been called a “simple”
Home Rule Bill.
4. Create a censor commission
to tighten u p regulation of
lewd and obscene literature.
The House last week:
1.Passed a bill to regulate
small loans (called the anti¬
loan shark bill).
TV ‘ d down administraticn
measure to ma'ke the sales
tax apply to casual and iso¬
lated sales by individuals.
This wa~ Griffin’s first legis¬
lative defeat o f the present

New Ofters Rare to Local Farmers

without costs and (3) an ex¬
tended discount of 20 per cent
on all hospital services, includ¬
ing X-rays, laboratory tests,
drugs, medicines and hospital
rooms. “We want our stock¬
holders to be healthy and hap¬
py,” added Dr. Cooke with a
smile.
The doctor stressed the fact
that the full amount of the
$100 purchase price need not
be paid all at noce. “The bene¬
fits will be available to all those
wno make the pledge within
the next 30 days,” he explained.
But the shares may be bought
at the rate of one share a
month for ten months. As scon
as the first share has been paid
for, the stockholder is entitled
to the privileges.
Dr. Cooke began distributing
questionnaires this week de¬
signed to feel the pulse of the
public on the subject of the pro-
prosed hospital expansion here.
The survey seeks to dete mine

the proposals to the extent that
they will invest in stock and

Scouting Offers Varied Experiences
i
All over America this
the Boy Scouts are celebrating
tneir 45th Birthday.
Here i n our own county we
have two troops of Boy Scouts
—Troop 36, located at New Eng-
land, and Troop 143 at Trentcn.
Hardie Price is scoutmaster of
Troop 36 and Ewell Brown as-
sistant scoutmaster. Seoutmas-
ter of Troop 14 3 is Spencer
Jenkins and Delmas Freeman is
his assistant. Rev. Robert Hil-
ten is the explorer adviser.
During the past year, troop
143 has tried to teach the boys
in the troop the principles of
Scouting. Let’s follow a boy
who wishes to become a Scout
from his first night in the troop
to the present time. Troop 143
started Feb. 15, 1954.
The first night at a troop
meeting is something new for
a boy. It is his start on a trail
of adventure, fun and outdo
life in his future Scouting.
Scout Oath First
He mu t first learn
scout oath, which is his p omi
to do his duty to God and
c:untry, to obey the 12 S out
Lews, to help other pecple at
all times, to keep him elf phy-
sically strong, mentally awake
and morally traight.
The TweT-e Scout Laws re-
semfole the Ten Commandments
of the Bible. He is to be pre-
pared and to do a good turn
daily. To be prepared, he must
learn what to do in case of
fire in the home and communi-
ty, tornadoes, floods and othe-
emergencies. A good turn means
doing anything helpful to any-
one without pay or faver.
Next he is taught the history
of our flag, how to fly it prop-
! erly, when to fly it, how to
shelter were sharing^ the .. bam

rank. To become an Eagle
he must first become become a
Star Scout, which requires five
merit badges.
Next up the trail is Life
Scout, which requires ten merit
badges, and finally the Eagle,
requiring 21 merit badges. To
get a merit badge he must
meet the necessary require¬
ments c f that particular sub-
t, -.u'en as forestry; ewlm-
ming, cooking and many others
that he can choose from.
Needs Encouragement
As a Scout advances through
the ranks ycu may say that he
is doing a good job. He is, of
course, but don’t forget his par¬
ents who ha/ve encouraged him,
the committeemen of his troop
who have given their time and
the other people who have
helped him on his way.
Now that the boy has reached
advanced Scouting, he can look
back along the trail to the ad¬
ventures he has experienced
from that first night a t the
troop meeting. He can picture
the hikes to different parts of
the community, the first night
of his camping trip, the sum-
mr camp and other interesting
'rts artng the Scouting trail.
I would like to encourage every
parent of a Boy Scout and one
who is to become a Scout to
nd by him in every way pos¬
sible. Support him every time
ou c n and keep pushing him
i ward al:ng the trail.
You may ask i n what way
you can help him. Here are
just a few that we can men¬
tion: (1- Encourage him to ad¬
vance. (2) Attend the district
Ccurt of Honor. (3) Attend all
the troop’s public demonstra¬
tions and exhibits.

and lower it, and hew to
fold it. He learns when to wear
his Scout uniform and how to
care for it.
The last thing before he be-
comes a Tenderfoot Scout is to
learn how to tie the different
kinds of knots that are re-
quired. After he has completed
this, he become; a Tenderfoot
Scdut with the approval cf his
scoutmaster,
Now the boy is ready for the
adventure of the outdoors. In
meeting the requirements of a
second class Scout, he must
i earn first aid, learn how to
follow trail signs or animal
tracks for a certain distance,
know the eight principal points
cn the compass and Jiow to
take different readings with
the compass,
The last requirement is a five
m ile hike and cooking a meal
in the epen. The requirements
for second class Scouting deal
mostly with the hiking and the
outdoor side o! Scouting. Alter

that the first adequate museum
of the history of thi area will
be opened approximately M y
1, 1955, on Lcokout Mountain
where it can be easily
by tourists as well as citizens of
this area. The museum will be
limited to the Civil War period
and the Cherokee Indian.
Each year hundreds o f fine
Civil War relics and Indian arti¬
facts are being lost forever
through neglect and lack of in¬
terest. The museum is being
developed to prevent the inter¬
esting pieces still left from alsc
disappearing.
Citizens of this area can
bring to the office cf The Dade
County Times any Civil War or
Indian relics which they have
stored away in attics and clos¬
ets. Every person bringing in
relics will b e given a lifetime
pass to the museum. A curator
who is a member of the Chat¬
tanooga Historical Society will
select the articles to be exhibit¬
ed and any article, so selected
will be displayed with the name
of the person who brings it in.
Free s u b s c r iptions to this

those who bring in noteworthy
articles or articles of unusual
interest.
