faje County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME LV Dade Days Uv VIRGIL HARTLEY ' time ji , it is graduation and it seems as if the y V had only begun. Folks say th ~. : you are getting old when b gins to pass quickly. I always thought of myself :n ere youngster, but it nwk e- me think when I consid- t; seemingly short while ago gen 1 marched down the aisle to c ' my high school diploma, g; ;gh that really hasn’t been ] V , ago', children are now in who ware riot even born v g-e I graduated. Time flies, even for us youngsters. An interesting fact was dis¬ covered this week in the Times 0 For the second year in a r w the valedictorian at Dade County High School was work- in: art time at the Times when the announ cement of th honor came. Last year, Barbara Jo Hatfield was made valedictorian and she had been working for the Times for some time as a reporter and in. the office And again this year, G L Morgan, who is assistant print¬ er and compositor in the back op of the Times and who helps with the office work, was named valedictorian of his class. Either this proved something ab at working for a newspaper, or mething about the people who work for one. I have an idea that it proba¬ bly proves something about the type o f people who work on papers. It seems to be a fact that anyone who does any kind of journalistic work must have large measures o f carefulness and imagination. Take a look at a large city Sunday paper sometimes and consider the fact that each one has more words in it than several good - sized books. Of course, more than one person is involved in writing the thing, but it takes a lot of pushing and punching of type¬ writer keys to write that many words every day. It takes a lot of these too, to put out a small weekly. Getting back to students, however, maybe it’s clear why the same type of student who works for a paper is the same type of student who will have the perseverence, intelligence, good sense, and accuracy to be first in his class. To prove that there are glar¬ ing exceptions to this general rule, however, let me say that I know of one newspaper person who was not valedictorian of his class. I was not even in the first ten, or the first fifty. Act¬ ually, I was seventy-ninth in my class. Even though there were 518 in the high school graduating class, 79th is a long way from being first. Just goes to show. Supper At New Home Tuare will a box supper at the Home Community House on May 28 at 8 p. m. Everyone is cordially invited.

The only proved facts about Wauhatchie are that he igned the Hiawassee Purchase of July 8. 1817, a purchase that released Indian land for use by the white man, and that his name was ILsted in the census taken by the United States of , the Cherokee nation in 1835. A Chattanooga historical so¬ ciety known as the Chief Wau- hatchie Chapter, United States Daughters of 1812, recently ask- ed Mrs. Penelope Johnson Allen, a widely-known Chattanooga [historian, to prepare a report ;on the subject of Wauhatchie’s life. ! Mrs. Allen heard many tales in Dade County about a chief who had been in the area when the white man came, but the facts were sketchy. She found a tree in the northern part of the county which a local resi¬ dent said had been planted by the chief. The tree, a cedar which was cut down not long ago, was of a size that indicat¬ ed that it could have been old enough to have been planted by the chief in the early part of the nineteenth century. Mrs. Allen also found evidence that Mauhatchie had taken his name in honor of an earlier chief in South Carolina. The name is not actually Cherokee, but Muskogean, the nationality of the South Carolina chief. The first actual written rec¬ ord of the chief’s name is on the muster rolls of Capt. John Brown’s company of Col. Gid- ! eon Morgan’s Cherokee regi¬ ment which served under the (generalship of General Andrew Published Weekly—Since 1901 VACCINATION GETS GO-AHEAD AGAIN In what should be a final de¬ cision on the Salk polio vaccine innoculation program in Geor¬ gia, State Health Department officials said last Sunday that the vaccine which had been used £,nd which was proposed to be used in the second round of shots had been cleared for safety by government inspec¬ tors. Each batch of the vaccine that had already been released by the various drug manufact¬ uring firms was inspected in a triple check to determine that the batch was safe for use. After a recommendation last week by the U. S. Public Health Service that all vaccine be held up until it had been checked, Georgia temporarily halted the vaccination program for the first and second graders. Most all the children who were to receive the series of shot had already been in- noculated with the first. There are three shots in the complete series. Dr. John H. Venable, assist¬ ant director of the State Health Department, said that first priority for the second shot in the series will be given to those children who are in schools which will close early. The entire stock of vaccine that was being used by Georgia was manufactured by the Eli Lilly & Co. firm. Federal gov- North Dade Elementary School May 20, 1955 8:00 P. M.

After Wauhatchie’s name i s noted, “severly wounded, March 27. Lest his horse.” Gen. Jackson gave special mention t o the Cherokee regiment for its bravery. After the war was over, the Indians hired a white man for their blacksmith for their settle¬ ment in Dade County, and this man is mentioned in a letter- written by Wauhatchie i n an effort to attach the wages of an Indian who owed the black¬ smith, George Brewer, money. Mrs. Allen reports the letter to read: ‘‘Lookout Mountain, March 18,1885.Respected friend: Sir, you will please pay George Brewer what is coming to the Tick Eater (the delinquent In¬ dian) for his services as he is owing Brewer to that amount. This from Capt. Wauhachie, Lew .Kunne quog sky of the Light NUMBER 18 e r n m e n t inspectors declared that after tests, all vaccine manufactured by that firm had been found to be safe. The state already has on hand about 20,000 doses of the vac¬ cine that was left over from the first round of shots in the schools, according to' Dr. Ven¬ able. He said that this would be sufficient to start the pro¬ gram again in the early-closing schools, and that more vaccine should be available for the rest of the children in a short while. In the first round of shots, around 170,000 Georgia first and second graders were in- noculated. Methodists To Meet Rev. R. L. Hilton, pastor of the Trenton Methodist Church announced this week that the Methodist Dade County Fellow¬ ship program will b e held at Byrd’s Chapel Church on Sun¬ day, May 24. Activities o f the conference will be heard in th evening. He is the Rev, Gunnar Teilman, Missionary in Maylaya. The Rev. Teilman is on a year’s fur¬ lough from his missionary post. He is well acquainted with Dade County, as he served his first p a r t oj- ate here in the county. Horse Company. To the Glass, a Chief of the Lookout Moun¬ tain.” When the United States took a census of the Cherokees in 1835 in anticipation of their be¬ ing moved from Georgia, Wau¬ hatchie’s name w-as on the ros¬ ter. Accounts given by residents indicate that he moved shortly to Tennesse from Georgia, and there track is lost of him. It is not known whether he reached the new land of the Cherokees in Oklahoma. The marker has already been erected, and the service on the 24th will be to dedicate the marker. The marker was se¬ cured from the Georgia Histor¬ ical Commission, the agency which erects most of such markers in the state, and was obtained through the efforts of the Chief Wauhatchie Chapter, United States Daughters of 1812.
