on the community grounds on
ithe fourth of July. Although the
rain spoiled the red, white, and
blue decorations; the music sup¬
plied by the Such Mountain boys
iand the fireworks blazing away
gave the atmosphere of a holi¬
day. Chicken Bar-B-Q with all
the trimmings as well as hot
dogs and hamburgers were ser¬
ved. The lively sack race and
messy pie eating contest were
both won by Butch Stone. The
childrens contests consisting of
Peanut Scramble, Balloon Burst
ing and Cracker were won by
Gail Scott, Becky Pflug, Betty
and Junior Ellis. All the child¬
ren were winners as they were
given the opportunity to dig into
the saw dust pile where there
were pennies, nickles, marbles,
combs and peanuts. The greased
pole caused much excitement
and after several attempts fail¬
ed to reach to the top where
there was placed a ten dollar
bill, four boys were permitted
to climb onto each other and
made it to the top. The four
who had to divide the money
were Dick Stoner, Hugh War¬
wick, Jimmy Johnson, and But¬

viceable lamp, was won by Ike

Survey Started For
County Waterworks
The Dade County Water Aut¬
hority Board met last week and
passed two Resolutions. One was
tfor a Knoxville Engineering con
cern to draw plans for a water
works system in Dade and the
other which has not yet been
signed is for the Authority to
take an option on buying the
Trenton Water System.
After the first resolution was
passed an agreement was signed
between the Authority and the
Engineering firm which reads in
part. . . . “concerning the plan¬
ning, design and construction
of a new water works system for
such areas of Dade County as is
(feasible to be served by said sys¬
tem.” It includes the making of
“field surveys, investigations,,
preliminary report, location, cost,
annual cost of operation main¬
tenance, debt service and pre¬
liminary drawings’,. There is no
charge for this work but tha con¬
tract set out the price to be paid
the engineering firm when work
begins.
Five firms, represented at this
meeting, were bidding for this
job. The Authority chose Camp-
bell-Wallan Consulting Engin¬
eers from Knoxville and they
have already begun their pre¬
liminary work.
