DALLYIN’ IN DADE
Dr. and Mrs. N. H. Hutchison
Charming Newcomers to County
Dade Counity is most fortun
ate in having the services of
one of the most highly-recom¬
mended and competent physi¬
cians in the tri-county area.
Yeung, ambitious, and equipped
with the stamina asd desire to
be a good doctor, Dr. N. H.
TT utchison can't imagine any¬
thing else he’d rather be.
Moved in March
Dr. and Mrs. Hutchison,, with
+heir two children, Katherine
Ann, age 3Mi, and Douglas, age
1Ms, moved here the latter part
of March of this year in order
for Dr. Hutchison to take over
f he practice of Dr. J. K. Cooke,
who was leaving for the Air
Ccrps at the time.
It was certainly to Dade’s ad
■"■antage that a young doctor,
*~s,t getting out of the Navy,
-"■'m’d consent to come here to
"ke a try ait giving the coun-
> - *he additional medical serv-
it long had needed.
The vision of a small hospl-
which could handle fract-
--w. lacerations, minor surgery
”nd Obstetrics as well as giving
diagnosis service was a chal-
1o n"e that fired Dr. Cooke, and
Dr. Hutchison after him, with
enthusiasm and zeal.
Clinic still a challenge
When Dr. Hutchison took
-'vmplete charge of the Trenton
CMnic the first of April, he be -
"an working with the board in
at empt to improve the
standards of the clinic. The
challegen cnauegen l* is still suu there, mere, the me™| work
S ‘ rw/^
more Dade Countians are be- hn
ginning to realize that the long
trip to Chattanooga for .rea
ment is not necessary.
Born thirty-eight years ago
in Keota, Mo., Dr. Hutchison
was christened Norton Hum¬
phreys. He grew up in Wyom¬
ing and Colorado with no
thoughts of becoming a doctor
until he was about to graduate
from high school. Like most
high school youths, he had a
hobby, one that his contempo
raries did not care to go into;
for he bred and raised phea¬
sants.
He took his pre-med training
at Pueblo Junior College in
Pueblo, Colo., and at York Col¬
lege in York, Neb. When World
War II came along, he worked
for DuPont as a chemist and it
was there that he met a re-
“eanch chemist in the bio-che
mistry division, Miss Olivia
Schramm, who later became
Mrs. ‘“Hutch”, as his intimates
called him.
Mrs. Hutchison Chem. Graduate
Miss Schramm had quite a
background in the chemistry
line .a ’42 graduate in chem¬
. .
istry from GSCW at Milledge-
ville, Georgia, she had taken
a course in medical technology.
at Sou h Highlands Infirmary
in Birmingham, and later
did graduate work in che¬
mistry at the University of
Alabama extension center. She
also had cc-authored a number
cf scientific publications on
leukemia and tracer studies with
carbon 14.
They were married i n 1943
before Dr. Hutchison was trans¬
ferred to the Alabama Ordi¬
nance Works a t Childersburg,
now Coosa Pines, Ala., with the
end of the war, he and his di¬
minutive wife became associated
with Southern Research Insti¬
tute in Birmingham, receiving
his degree in 1950. After that,
he served his intern ship at
Ge neral Hospital No. 1 in Kan¬
sas City, followed by two years
of private practice in Moultrie,
Ga., Mrs. Hutchison's home
town.
Navy Two Years
Then he went into the Navy
for two years, spending his ser¬
vice time in Charleston, S. C.
Upon his discharge, he and his
family moved t o Trenton to
take over Eh. Cooke’s practice.
He is a member of Civitan
International at Moultrie, Scot¬
tish Rite Masons and Shriners
with membership in the Omar
Temple at Charleston, S. C. A

Like to Fish
Along the line of hobbies,
which neither Dr. or Mrs. Hutch¬
ison have time for they are fish¬
ing enthusiast. The doctor al¬
so loves to hunt and cnee raised
flowers. He spent four or five
months working on a detailed
scale model of a home they
wanted to build at one time, but
have changed their ideas com¬
pletely on the style of architec-
ure they wiuld like. Since com¬
ing to Trenton, he has helped
with the Boy Scout program
and assisted Miss McWhorter,
Public Health Nurse, in work¬
ing with the polio vaccine dis¬
tributing program.
Mrs. Hutchison considers her
children more or less her hob¬
bies; they are a joy but do taste
a lot of time. She has always
had a yearning to make things,
such as ceramics, and would
like to garden or paint, if she
could find the time.
She has followed her hus-
band , s interests by bec „ m i„ 8 a

coun.y, they are already act¬
ively engaged in helping Dade
County find its way up the lat¬
ter of progress and better living.
Fire Breaks Out
In Raulston Home
A Thanksgiving Day fire at
the home of Mr. and Mrs'. E.
L. Raulston in New England
hreatened to destroy the en¬
tire two-story dwelling, but due
to the quick action of friends,
neighbors and the Trenton Fire
Department, only slight dam-
age was done by the blaze.
The Raulstcns had left about
5.30 a. m. on a trip to Hatties¬
burg, Miss., for a visit with
their son, Bill Raulston, and
family and the house was closed
for the holidays. Mrs. Lonnie
Drew, who lives in the Rauls-
ton's tenant house directly be¬
hind. noticed smoke from the
house and immediately went
for help. The word spread
quickly and a call was put in
0 the fire department.
Since the blaze was still in an
early stage, the fire crew and
others were able to extinguish
it before more serious damage
was done. A couch in (the dining
room, which was also used as a
sitting room, and the drapes
behind it were destroyed. The
wall near the couch was char¬
red and the entire room and
kitchen blackened by smoke.
The fire apparently broke
cut from a defective extension
cord which lay under the couch.
From all appearances, Mrs.
Raulston believes the drapes
caught fire from the cord, then
fell across the couch.
Friends put in a call to the
Raulstcns’ son as soon as they
learned that the house was safe,
‘he news was waiting on the
so walked into
Raulstons as they
their boys’ home. Since they
satisfied the danger ot the
were completed
fire was over, they
their visit, returning home Sa -
urday.

been apprehended. Crane was
being held in Rome in connec¬
with murder charges in the
death of Junius Nesbit in 1951
the time he escaped. His
brother, Clyde, who will also

This is the second attempt to

Sheroff F. C. Graham was
injured in an automo¬
accident as he was begin¬

Sheriff's Race Contested
Thirteen candidates have qual¬
ified in the race for Dade Coun¬
ty Sheriff in what may be the
most hotly-contested election
in recent years. Ballots for the
December 14 election will carry
more candidates for this office
than any other single election
in the history of Dade County.
Ordinary R. M. Morrison
called a special election to elect
a new sheriff to fill out the un¬
expired term of Sheriff F. C.
Graham who died November 21
of injuries suffered in an auto¬
mobile accident. The sheriff
was beginning a trip to Ohio to
bring Paul Crane, an escaped
fugitive from a Rome jail, back
to Georgia when he wrecked
his late-model automobile while
attempting to avoid a collision
November 10 about a mile north
of Trenton.
A deadline of December 7 has
been set for qualifying as a
candidate in this election. Polls
will be open in all precincts of
the county on the voting day.

VOTE SET FOR DECEMBER 13
Cotton growers have an im-
portant decision to make on
Tuesday, December of the 13, County C. L. j
Ivey, Chairman
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee, le-
minds farmers.
On that day, growers will vote
in a referendum to decide
whether marketing quotas will

land cotton crop.
“If at least two-thirds cf the
growers voting approve the
quotas,” Mr. Ivey explains,
“marketing quotas will be in
eff.ect on all farms growing up¬
land cotton in 1956, penalties
will apply on ‘excess cotton and
price supports to tho.^e growers
who comply with their cotton
acreage allotments will oe
available at the full level of ef¬
fective supports.. Under cur¬
rent legislation, this support
will be be.ween 75 and 90 per¬
cent of parity, the level depend¬
ing upon the supply situation
at the time the determination
is made.
Mlf more than one-third of
the growers disapprove quotas,
there will be no marketing
quotas or penalties, but price
supports to eligible growers
(who comply with their allot¬
ments) will be available at 50
percent of parity. ‘In either
case, acreage allotments w ’ll
continue in effect for the 1956
cotton-crop.”
