Opens Trenton Offici e The State Highway Depart¬ ment is announcing the opening of an office in Trenton on Tues¬ day of this week. The office is located in Dr. D. S. Middleton’s former office. It is planned for this to toe a permanent office for the next two or three years. Wayne B. Bailey, Assistant Resident En¬ gineer will be in charge. The office will be used for records and maps and for the engineers to have a permanent place for Itheir drawings and planning tables. Mr. Bailey will be working under Sam A. Reed, Resident Engineer in LaFayette. Mr. Bailey has already moved here with his family and is living at the James Hatfield place in Ris¬ ing Fawn. Dade Aviary Has Beautiful Parakeets A new industry has been growing in Dade these past few months. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Ryan and Roy W. Christian have en¬ larged their aviary until it now contains well over a 100 para¬ keets. They are using the old store building on the south east side of the cross roads six the top of Whiteoak Gap As you enter on either side of the door are lange net en¬ closures. These are filled with many various colored birds sit¬ ting on rows of perches, or at the feeding table or just flying about. The yellows, blues, whites and of course the familiar green makes for an ever changing array of color. The noise, how¬ ever, from these many throats almost makes conversation im¬ possible. Back of two enclosures are rows upon row of cages contain¬ ing pairs of parakeets with a box attached to the cage which either contains eggs or young parakeets. On each of these cards is listed pertinent infor¬ mation about the parents, num¬ ber of eggs, number of young and day to day information about them. One rather large cage con¬ tained about a dozen birds which we were told were about 6 weeks old and nearly old enough to be sold. The young birds are sold to pet shops and some will bring as high as $50. All the birds have a band around one leg for identifica¬ tion, as the date of birth and other useful information is re¬ corded for breeding purposes or for the owner if they should desire it. NUMBER 5K> Improvement Plans Set To €o For Dade High School The Dade Improvement Club met last week with the Commit¬ tees reporting on their findings. It was felt that plans had pro¬ gressed far enough for the Soli¬ citing Comittees to start. The New Salem Committee had already done some prelim¬ inary work and the committees from other areas of the county were asked to meet so that the money could start coming in and work could begin. The commit¬ tees were reminded that they were not to forget to tell the people to think of the over all picture and in their giving to think of this on a three year basis. The committees were asked to remind the people that this pro¬ gram is solely for the children in Dade Co. that they may have the same advantages which a physical educational program, brings to them as the children in other schools have. The group was reminded that, “as badly as we hate to say it we are at the bottom of the list in this part of our school program. We have jnew and good buildings with 'adequate equipment and fine teachers but to reach the stand¬ ard of other schools and to give our children the same advant¬ ages as other children have, we must have a physical education program.” Those working on this pro¬ gram ask you, please don’t turn a deaf ear to those who come around to see you. Listen and give, for it is to help your child¬ ren, not the solicitor. Universal Bible Sun. Seventy-four Methodist Churches in the Chattanooga District will observe Universal Sunday, December 14.
