ade <f rnuifw The Gem in Georgia’s Crown VOL. 59—No. 39 Fried chicken to me is one the mainstays of the American way of life. It can easily he associ¬ ated with pleasurable events from the time I can first rem¬ ember. It was the special Sun¬ day dinner when company came and it was the finest fare at school picnics. It has brought happiness, but alas—it also has brought grief. That’s why I think it’s practi¬ cally un-American for chicken packers to do the things they do. Like, for instance, the way these ready-for-the-frying-pan cellophaned trays offered in the markets are cut up. From the first chicken ever fried, I sup¬ pose, chickens have been cut a certain way. The joints are the places to divide and the breast is carved to produce the wish bone and that little fin-like rudder is cut off the back piece It’s been ages since we’ve been able to buy a cut-up chicken that was cut-up properly, but that’s only part of the story. We usually buy the whole chicken and do the cutting-up at home. Now everybody knows that for a chicken to have reached the size of frying, it just had to have that vital organ, we know as liver. And when I buy a chic¬ ken, I want the liver. I remember being awarded the liver when I was growing up, as a sort of reward for having picked the chicken and I’ve always treasured it. It is a source of constant ir¬ ritation to find the liver miss¬ ing from that bundle of parts wrapped and placed in the cavity. Which reaily means that two times in three buying chicken causes irritation. These packers, of course, pull out the livers and sell them separately at a price that makes filet mignon appear cheap. So that we’re being defrauded when we buy chicken. After ail, the reason we buy chicken so often is because it’s economical. But with the liver missing, hamburger is perferred. Once we complained about getting no liver and after an ordeal we were given a package which contained liver, we were told. When the package was opened at home we found a gizzard, a stringy neck, two chicken hearts, but only half a liver. The first impulse was to return to the market for another round, but we chickened. It happened again this week. In our mis-cut chicken we found lots of neck and gizzard, including ruffage, but no liver. What we need is a new party —not pledged to guarantee a chicken in very pot, but rather to guarantee a liver in every chicken. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1959 is£B & Here Friday Night _ ihe Dade Wild- County High cats will take on a strong Se- quatchie County football team Friday aay St night. L Br0Wn Fleld Coach Donald Payne that his team has worked hard getting ready for this game. The Wildcats will “be out blood’’ to revenge last year's de- feat by Sequatchie. Earlier in the season Davis High defeated Sequatchie and Dade hopes to carry on in the same manner. There will be ample parking and Boy Scouts again will direct parking so that cars are free to leave ,at any time. The lot will be patrolled during the game. Principal Dave Chumley en¬ couraged a big crowd in an ef¬ fort to match the home-coming crowd of more than 1,300, be¬ lieved to be the biggest crowd for an athletic event in Trenton VITALITY | 9 THE DESTINY By Glenn McCullough Lasu week I promised that I’d have the answers to some ques¬ tions about the proposed water system. I failed to get the answers. But for your considera¬ tion, here are the questions. Will the present inadequate fines of the Trenton system be replaced ? Will fire insurance rates real¬ ly be lowered? What will it cost the city for each new fire hydrant? Will a county authority pro¬ hibit the city from floating sew¬ age bonds at some future date? Is there any guarantee that proposed rates will not up—if the projected number of con¬ nections does not materalize? In the event of a fund surplus buildup—will there be a lower¬ ing of rates? Will the authority compromise its present gallonage-rate sche¬ dule to some degree? President Salutes Newspaper Theme The theme for National News¬ paper Week, Oct. 15-21, has been hailed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as representing “the hopes and achievement of American journalism.” The President’s message: “Your Newspaper . . . Free¬ dom’s Textbook” is a fine theme for this year’s observance. To me, it stands for the hopes and achievements of American journalism. As our editors re¬ port the daily affairs of their communities with zeal and ac¬ curacy, they help to supply our citizens with the lessons of his¬ tory, together with the informa¬ tion which is required to make history move steadily forward in •the direction of freedom and justice. I am delighted to add my wishes . . . (signed) Dwight D. pLr'Urw Everything is set for what promises to be a bigger and better clothesline art show pi um Nelly this week end.

'The stills were located in a gulch northwest of Rt. 143. No¬ body was near the scene, no ar¬ rests were made. STAGNATION fl DADE .... ON WATER i How can we be sure that the anticipated numbe* of water users will have connections made after the system is in¬ stalled? How much deposit is to be charged? We believe these question are important to the people of (Trenton and to a lesser degree to the people outside the city. We've heard a lot about the people in Trenton being unwill- ing to allow the county to grow. In an effort to be fair, we be¬ lieve the people of Trenton have every right to know the answers (Continued on Page 8) J Published Weekly—Since 1901 Sub - Committes Selected For Area Dade County sub-committees of the Coosa Valley Planning and Devolpement Assn were named this week by the Dade lepresentatives.

GOOD CATCH OF BAD FISH —Ranger Bob Baker pulls two carp from Lookout Creek during a population study made recent¬ ly by the Georgia Game and Fish Commission. The big catch of carp is but a part of the 550 pounds removed during the 2- day study, conducted by Howard Zeller in cooperation with the Dade Wildlife Club. The study was made to determine whether selective killing of rough fish in the creek is feasible.
