Dade County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME LVin • - For truly, the esrth is the Lords and the fullness thereof, but the responsibility is vested in for its stewardship man.' MAN'S RELATION TO THE LAND God created the world, of which the earth is a portion, with a purpose, and through his loving Providence He maintains the world for the good of human beings. Therefore, all human beings possess a direct natural right to have access to created natural resources. Land is a very special kind of property. Ownership of land does not give an absolute right to use or abuse, nor is it devoid of social responsibilities. It is in fact a stewardship. It implies such Hand tenure and use as to enable the possessor to develop his personality, maintain a decent standard of living for his family iand fulfill social obligations. At the same time, the land steward (has a duty to enrich the soil he tills, and to hand it down to future generations as a thank offering to God, the Giver, and as a living inheritance to his children’s children. The stewards of the land owe sacred duties and obiligations .to God, the community and humanity. A faithful and honest fulfillment of their responsibilities goes hand in hand with their rights and privileges . (From a statement of principles signed by 75 clergymen and workers of all faiths.)

The Trenton Telephone Com¬ pany has announced that the contract for this project was let last week to a Cedartown, Ga. contracting firm. The telephone line will go up Lookout Mt. where the Georgia Power poles are and from there will reach out to service about 5o customers in the community. Work will begin as soon as the necessary supplies and equip¬ ment are readied for the work which should be very soon.

REMEMBER Metlths . because she’s wonderful! Mother's are wonderful people . . they deserve so much more and appreciation than we take time to give them. Cele¬ brating Mother’s Day, once a year, is of course a beautiful gesture, but it is so inadequate. Every day should be Mother’s Day for us as individuals . . . tell her every day in actions, if in words that she is loved NUMBER 19 between the hours of 9:30 A. M. and 4 P. M. After it is know how many will want the surplus commodities, a requisition will be sent in and a distribution day will be set when the commodities can be given out. The government has set rules and regulations which will be followed. For a county to receive com¬ modities, the county officials lhave to be willing for them to be distributed in the county and [the director of public welfare has to approve the director but the commodities will not be dis¬ tributed through the county welfare department. After many meetings, the necessary prelim¬ inary work has been done. Be¬ cause there is no money avail¬ able to pay a commodities dir¬ ector or a staff, Ordinary Peck has offered the county trucks to haul the commodities into Dade and the Helping Hand will take over from there on a volunteer basis. Distribution will be once a month. R. Fawn Ties For Top Dade County teams split this week New Salem bowing to LaFayette 6 to 1 and Rising Fawn doubling the scoxe on Rock Springs 8 to 4.
