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.

Daniel Fowler in Accident
Sheriff Allison Blevins reports
a fairly quiet 4th of July week
end. 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.
A car, carrying a Floyd Coun¬
ty license and containing a man
driver and two women, appar¬
ently upon seeing a wrecker
parked by the side of the road,
put on his brakes. 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.

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

dollars for road building of
which Georgia received 13 mil¬

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.
