Modern Kitchen Units The FHA girls have recently varnished the attractive plywood and painted the walls ceiling. The department is a home ec teacher’s dream, with three kitchen units containing the Supreme Court and of Appeals to review by writ of error all final judgments of Juvenile Courts.” This simpli¬ fies the appealing of the judg¬ ment of the juvenile court. How¬ ever, it leaves some doubt as to the disposition of the child dur¬ ing the time of appeal. No. 2. For or Against: “Rati- fication of amendment to the Constitution so as to change the method of amending the Consti¬ tution.” This provides that the Governor, the Attorney General and the Secretary of State shall meet and determine whether a proposed amendment is general or local in nature. A proposed amendment which is general in nature shall be submitted to the people of the entire state for ratification at the next general election by a majority vote. If local it shall be submitted only to the areas directly affected. No. 3. This applies only to whether or not the General As¬ sembly is authorized to create traffic courts in and for certain cities and goes on tOkApply only to Atlanta. No. 4. For or Against: “Ratifi¬ cation of amendment to the Constitution., so as to author¬ ize the General Assembly to con¬ sider busineess pending at the adjournment of any regular- session at any later regular session of the same General j Assembly.” Under this proposed amendment, business pending in either of the houses of the General Assembly at the ad¬ journment of the first session would not die, as they do now, but could be considered at any regular session as if there been no adjjournment.

A. J. Tillman of Rt. 1, Ross- ville underwent the first suc¬ cessful aorta transplant done in this area Oct. 19 at Tri-Coun¬ ty Hospital,, and today is home and resting well. The operation involved re- moving a damaged section of the aorta, the main vessel sup¬ plying blood from the heart to the body, and replacing it with the “preserved” aorta from a special aorta bank at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. During sur¬ fee gery, the patient was packed in and “frozen”, with his body temperature lowered from a normal 98.6 to 80 degrees. Ap¬ proximately four hours was re¬ quired for the actual surgery. Following it, the patient was Published Weekly — Since 1901 _ NUMBER 41 R. Fawn Festival Friday, Nov. 9 The Harvest Festival sponsor¬ ed by the Rising Fawn PTA will be held next Friday night, Nov. 9 at the Rising Fawn school- house, with the doors to be open¬ ed at 7 p. m. In addition to the commu¬ nity fair, a carnival will be a featured attraction, with a shooting gallery, dart board, cake walk, fish pond, country store and many other conces- . ions. A snack bar will also be hi operation during the evening. Each class is competing in a King and Queen Contest, the results to be announced at the close of the evening’s activities. PATSY WIIEELER HOMECOMING QUEEN Patsy Wheeler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wheeler of Trenton, was crowned Dade High School’s Homecoming Queen in half time festivities Friday night during the Wildcat Trion football game. Patsy made a lovely picture in her red gown as she was presented an arm bouquet of chrysanthemums by the team captain, Eddie Wat¬ kins. Johnny Lynch, co-captain, also took part in the ceremony, carrying the flowers out on the field. The other candidates for queen were also beautiful in their pas¬ tel-colored evening gowns. Each was presented an arm bouquet of dahlias by members of the first string, with all the lovelies, in¬ cluding the queen, receiving kis¬ ses as they accepted the flowers. Runners-up were: Chi-Chi Bar¬ ton, Joyce Broom, Mary Lois Clark, Shelby Dawkins, Betty Harrison, Patsy Hartline, Shirley Keel, Rochelle McBryar, Caro¬ lyn Ryan, Judy Strawn, Jo Ann Steele and Frances York. A large number of fans were present for the occasion. Al¬ though the Wildcats bowed be¬ fore a strong Trion eleven to the tune of 35-0, onlookers term¬ ed it a “good game.” R. G. Peterson of Floral Crest donated the flowers, which were arranged by Miss Ellen Schnei¬ der. warmed with the use of elec¬ tric 'blankets and other devices until his body temperature w~s up to normal. Throughout the operation and for the length of Mr. Tillman’s stay at Tri-Coun¬ ty, he received special attention from the staff. This is certainly a big step i or ward for Tri-County Hospi¬ tal, and as Administrator Oscar Hilliard put it, “The knowledge that we have the surgeons, the nurses, the equipment to per¬ form such an operation in this area makes us feel very good.” It is fortunate that this .new hospital is so up-to-date that it can undertake such difficult surgery; Dade County is im¬ mensely proud of Tri-County Hospital.
