The Gem in Georgia’s Crown
VOL. 59—34
GLENNings
I lost a perfectly good after¬
noon this week.
And I had assumed a certain
amount of pride in what might
be called “resistance to redicul-
ous advertisements.”
In the Sunday supplement sec¬
tion of a big city newspaper
this ridiculous aspirin ad ap¬
peared.
“When you’ve feeling
‘HEAT-BEAT*
(tense, irritable, headachy)
Take a (Brand) Break!”
It appealed to me. I certainly
felt ‘heat-beat’ and I was tense,
irritable and headachy.. what’s
more I had ink on my hands
and it marked nty face each
time I wiped away the sweat. A
fly had drowned himself in my
glass of iced tea, which was too
sweet. I was ‘heat-beat’ alright!
The ad continued
“First take two (Brand)
aspirin. . .
“Then, relax. Sit down . . . .
put your feet up and rest.
“You’ll be refreshed in practi¬
cally no time.”
I did what it said. And sure
enough I woke up feeling re¬
freshed in what seemed like no
time. Then I looked at the
clock and realized I had slept
for nearly two solid hours.
Next time I feel heat-beat,
I’ll do what I’ve become ac¬
customed to doing. I’ll just quit
work and go next door whe*e
its air-conditioned and sip a
wakeful glass of tea.
Tomorrow night at 8 o’clock
two groups of Dade County’s
finest product.. .healthy, eager
and ambitious youth will charge
onto football fields.
One of the groups, the Dade
County High Varsity will face
another strong group at Pisgah,
'Ala. The other, Davis High var¬
sity, will meet Sequatchie at
at Davis Field.
Now, you may be thinking
that its just a couple of ball
games. But its more than that.
The boys from Dade and
Davis have worked mighty hard
getting ready for the season’s
opener. They want to win. Not
just for the sheer joy of winning
but to show another school that
“ours” is best. Whether they
win or lose is not so important,
but the way they play the game
will bring credit to Dade
County.
The coaches have done more
than teach the teams how to
block and kick and run with the
ball. They have also taught the

Operation Carp
With Limitations
The Dade County Wildlife
Club met Friday night at the
Courthouse and heard Howard
Zeller, fish biologist with the
Georgia Game and Fsih Com¬
mission, outline a plan for rid¬
ding Lookout Creek of carp.
Mr. Zeller spoke after Presi¬
dent Lunsford Fricks heard a
report that all property owners
along the creek, except three,
had signed consent agreements
to allow the club to use chemi-
cas to kill out the rough fish.
District Ranger Bob Baker,
recalled several successful oper¬
ations of similar nature on
which he has worked with Mr.
Zeller, in introducing him to
club members.
Mr. Zeller told members that
there were many considerations
on both sides of the ledger.
“Any project we undertake,”
he said, “we except to pay off.”
The present carp infestation
In the creek came about, he
said, over a long period through
such contributing factors as
changing soil usage, water
diversion and forestry. All these
changes have alsp changed the
stream.

of men have started prelimin¬
ary work on the widening pro¬

L. C. Easterling of Decatur,
Ga., with the Henry Newton Co.,
contractors for the road work,
said crews now are extending
colverts under the roadbed from
Trenton to the Tennessee line.
This is the first step toward

roadbed.
There have been complaints
from businessmen and residents
on the route that beginning the
project at so late a date will
bring delays from approaching
bad weather.
Mr. Easterling explained how¬
ever that the road would be
kept open at all times to traffic
the present paved roadbed
not be disturbed until
new lane is put down.

Dade’s Tomato Crop
tO City
Georgia produce market
scouts for Atlanta’s big Rich’s
department store were here this
week, searching for prize toma-
toes to display later this month
in Atlanta.
Miss Gertie Gordon, director
of special projects for Rich’s
picked Dade County as the first
istop this year on a statewide
roundup of fine produce. The
produce will be displayed and
sold at the store’s annual curb
market, held in conjection with
the harvest sale.
Georgia’s finest produce is
displayed in a carnival atmos¬
phere in a sidewalk mart on
Atlanta’s Broad street. Proceeds
'.from the sale of produce go to
the growers, with Rich’s paying
all expenses of display, advert¬
ising, etc.
Tomatoes from Dade have at¬
tracted such wide attention and
acclaim that Rich’s feel a mar¬
ket of the state’s finest produce
would not othewise be complete.
The Dade County Tomato
Growers Assn., headed by Mr.
Bill Pullen, and County Agent
L. C. Adams will have charge of
selecting and shipping tomatoes
to the market. Interested
growers are urged to contact
either of these men.
Last year’s sidewalk market
attracted literally thousands of
city folk—and extracted some
$12,000 for the farmers.
New Home Telephone
Project is Finished
The Trenton Telephone Co.
reports that telephone service
has been installed in all homes
in New Home, where requested
by the residents.
Some forty telephones were
connected in the project, short

service.
Manager Bill Tatum said the
next major project of the tele¬
phone company will be the re-
location of lines along U. S. 11,
preparatory to the widening of
the highway.
