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).

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 hew many ore interested in the proposals to the extent that they will invest in stock and how many are interested but cannot, cr are unwiling, tc in¬ vest in the program. 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 with seme hegs. “And hogs and sheep just don’t get along to¬ ^Cattle h d and sheep work fine togetner, however nowever. ±u In fact, their grazing habits supplement grass °and’ clwer^when it is high, while sheep will graze close, eating what the cows can’t—or won’t.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES. TRENTON. GEORGIA THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1955 s co u t s o bserve 45th birthday BoTscmiT^ramEmcA 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. By SPENCER JENKINS *v 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.

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 newspaper will b e awa: ded to those who bring in noteworthy articles or articles of unusual interest. 4-H Council Meets; Plan Friday’s Program The Dade County 4-H Coun¬ cil met Saturday, Feb. 5, in the court house i n Trenton.
