I EDITORIAL THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FLECTION The Primary Election, which will be held in Dade County next Wednesday, is probably the most important election for the citizens of the county. It is at this election that we decide who will be in charge of the county business for the next four years. At this March 7 election we have a choice of men for four of the most important county offices, 3 taxpayers and citizens it is | our du fy> as wed as our P riv ^“ to go to the polls and vote 0ur choice. Do not say one vote does not make any difference, for if you and several others all say this it could make a lot of difference in the final count. Also do sa J T m Y vote cance * m y r * e ^ hbors becau se ma y be the ,y will change their minds and , will go to vote and if you didn’t go vote also, their candidate will get several extra votes. Voting gives us a chance for a choice. As the time for elec¬ tion grows near, we must pause and think about what we have heard and know about each candidate: which one seems to be better fitted for the office for which he is running, which one can we trust to do the right thing,, which one do we have confidence in to do the best job, which one would we go to if we were in trouble or wanted help. Let us think over all the good and bad we have heard about each candidate before we go to the polls. Let us make up our minds which one will help us and the county the most and then not be changed before we get to the polls and vote for cur choice. Vote as you please, but please vote March 7. tion over 1955. Patrons are urged to use the periodicals, filmstrips, recordings and books.

Many visited the pharmacy to get ac¬ quainted with the proprietor, Robert (Doc) Hadden, and to see his well-stocked shelves of prescription and sick room sup¬ plies and miscellaneous articles. Mrs. Stacy Jenkins was an¬ nounced as winner of the radio which was given away at the end of the day. Hadden said the pharmacy had been open since he had moved his stock in last Thurs¬ day, Feb. 23. A grad uate of Southern College of Pharmacy in Atlanta, where he was a stu¬ dent for four years, Hadden is registered as a pharmacist in both Tennessee and Georgia. Until recently, he was associat¬ ed with Fillauer Surgical Supply House in Chattanooga. A policy o f presenting free ballons to children who have just visited the doctor will be established, Hadden said.

LEARN ABOUT OUR CANDIDATES ,In ber ^ ive Community N ews - M rs - E ^ene Flower en- closed , the t following editorial.) 1 liave reading the sec- tion on vital statistics, by Myr- na McMahan, in our Dade pa- P er increasing interest. In these art icles Mrs. McMahan gives us the history and back¬ ground of each of the candi¬ dates in our coming election. These men and women have such fine backgrounds, that it will be hard for some of us to make up our minds just which of them t o cast our vote for. However, I feel that each citi¬ zen of Dade County should do as Mr. “Gabby" Green suggested when he spoke before a group at Davis High School. I quote: “Mr. Green asked the audience to consider two applications for a job before choosing the best man qualified for the job.’’ Suppose we do consider that we, as voters, are the employed. The candidates are each apply¬ ing to us for a job. How are we going to decide which ones are most capable to control the af¬ fairs of our county? Will we judge a man by the amount of “gos¬ sip” we hear about him or will we take the applications before us and study them carefully to ascertain the capabilities o f these candidates? Much too much “gossip” is be¬ ing spread about during this campaign. I regret to say that people are letting themselves be¬ come influenced by these slan¬ dering remarks. I cannot urge too strongly that the people of Dade County disregard all “gos¬ sip” you may have heard against the candidates, several of whose fine records behind them speaks for them. Let us not pollute our Democ¬ racy, but rather do as was sug¬ gested, study the applications carefully and then‘hire’the one best qualified to fill the job. Let’s keep our State of Dade a clean and moral place to live and completely stamp out “dirty politics” or I fear ruination for a free government.
