Published Weekly—Since 1901 Volume lviii Library Receives Additional Books The Dade County Library has received a shipment of new books. Mrs. Grace Nethery, li¬ brarian, reports the arrival of over 100 volumes and included are some much needed books for adults. The Dade Library is to receive books each year from the Cher¬ okee Regional Library funds. Dade, Walker and Chattooga counties make up the Cherokee Regional Library which is sup¬ ported by funds from the fed¬ eral and state library appropri¬ ations, the counties and school systems of the three counties and by private donations. The regional library has their main library and offices in La- Fayette. There are branches at Summerville, Trion, Rossville, Menlo and Trenton. There are two Bookmobiles which travel the counties, one of which comes to Dade about every six weeks. The Bookmobile suppli- ments the school libraries and {stops at appointed places throughout the county where books are left and picked up next time. These are called Book Depositories and are for the ben efit of those who cannot get to a central library. Dade’s present Library Board is composed of Miss Bess Cure- ton and Mrs. Douglas Morrison, who are also on the Executive Board of the Regional Library and Mr. Henry Elliott and Mr. Martin Nethery. The locai board and the regional executive com¬ mittee only meet at called meet¬ ings as the need arises. The entire boards of the three coun¬ ties which make up the Cherokee Regional Library have an annual meeting each fall. The Dade County Library is open all day each Friday and Saturday mornings and is lo¬ cated in the basement of the Morrison office building.

The scattered showers throughout the county did not seem to stop the flow of traffic through the county but there were only three highway acci¬ dents reported. One serious accident occured about noon Saturday when Dan¬ iel Fowler, who it is reported was (standing about two feet behind his mail box, was hit and serious¬ ly injured. Fowler, who had come to his mail box on the Scenic Highway near the Hinkle road, was taken by ambulance to a hospital where he remains in critical condition. It is reported he sustained back and lung in¬ juries and many broken ribs.

The car skid¬ ded, hit Fowler, climbed the bank and then appeared to leap Location Engineer Surveying on Hwy. 11 A location engineer, with his j crew, from the State Highway Department has been in Dade working on U. S. Highway 11. Approximately four years ago a survey was made but in spite of repeated visits toy public offi¬ cials and interested citizens nothing further, except more patching, has been done until this crew arrived. Since that time there have been many changes along the right of way of the highway and ithe engineer is here checking the property changes, the homes and stores which have gone up as well as water pipes and tele¬ phone and electric poles which have been added since that time. This survey will go back ito the federal and state high¬ way departments for approval.

The driver, who it is reported is a doctor, the younger woman also a doc¬ tor and the elderly lady all rid¬ ing in the car were all cut and bruised and also taken to a hos¬ pital. The wrecker, from Wails Wrecker Service, which was parked off the highway, had just finished picking up another car which had gone into a ditch. This accident was reported to the Troopers as having occured about 2 A. M. Saturday morning. It appeared a tire had blown and the driver lost control of his vehicle. The car turned over and landed on it’s top in a ditch. It is reported the three men riding in the car received only minor Injuries, Also on Saturday, about 9 P. M., a car towing another had a blow out, went out of control and rammed up against the fence ■of the D. L. Brown farm in Wild¬ wood. No injuries were reported. ment released many dollars for road building of which Georgia received 13 mil¬ lion. The State Highway De¬ partment speaks of these as “Distress Funds” as it was hoped that by releasing this money it would provide rpad work for the unemployed The state engineer did not state that Highway 11 would toe improved and resurfaced from the Tennessee state line to Trenton but those Distress Funds do give the state more money to do work on the high¬ ways of Georgia. Although it is understood that highway 11 is not in as bad condition as some pf the highways in Georgia, traffic on it appears to be in- Jreasing daily which keeps it one of the Georgia highway slated 'for improvements.
