From a deep sleep the other
night I was awakened and told
“There’s something outside our
window.”
“What something There’s al¬
ways something out there.”
“But this is a prowler, or a
lion!”
This is not being the first
time my sleep had been inter¬
rupted, I shrugged It off and
went back to sleep.
Next day, Shirley greeted me
at lunch with a smirk on her
face and led me to the area just
outside our bedroom window.
There on the ground was
proof positive that we had in¬
deed had a prowler. But it was
no lion. It was a big, big cow.
Next time, guess I’ll investi¬

Here’s a sort of reprint-reprint

being the editor of a small

janitors, advertising managers,
promotion managers, etc. etc.
So as advertising manager,
here’s food for thought to our
advertisers.

compliment this week in the
form of a complaint.
A motorist from the Atlanta

demanded to know why “the

We told him we were trying,

DADE MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST
BUT WE’RE LOADED WITH QUALITY
A recent story in the Ellijay
Times-Courier takes the name
of TRENTON in vain and we
want a retraction!
The very idea! Trenton a part
of Ellijay? All we can say is
was only a few years ago that
Dade County re-joined the State
of Georgia, which had become
a part of the union—and there’s
still a good bit of sentiment in
/favor of the old State of Dade,
The Ellijay story proposed
program, according to Mr. H. T.
(no better identification given),
whereby the hamlet of Ellijay
would annext all areas within
100 miles, giving it a
in excess of 2 million. This
include Marthasville, often call¬
ed Atlanta, Buford, Gainesville,
'Toccoa, Athens, Rome, TREN¬
TON, and parts of Alabama,
Tennessee, Notrh Carolina and
South Carolina.
This whole proposition came
about because Marthasville it
cently celebrated a million pop¬
ulation. But when you look deep
enough in the newspaper ac¬
counts of this celebration you
can see that it’s not Marthas¬
ville, often called Atlanta, a'tall,
but what they sayis the metro¬
politan area!
Marthasville named a new¬
comer to the area as Mr. M. He
is a Yankee.
We’d like Mr. H. T., Mr. M.,
Marthasville, often called Atlan¬
ta, and Ellijay to know one
thing.
Dade is not interested.
STILL SMASHED
Sheriff Allison Blevins and
state revenue agents destoryed
a 500-gallon still in the Head
River area of Lookout Mountain,
Tuesday.
More than 20 gallons of moon-
shine liquor was poured out, the
sheriff said. ’
Nobody was near and no ar-
rests were made.
to members of the
tees.
Ways and means of
new industry for Dade
will be the topic of Mr Lassasi
ter.
The Jaycees arranged the
meeting as a means of endors
ing the complete plans for

Explosion Hurts 3
At Dade Band Room
Three school children
hurt, one painfully,
at the Dade County school
Trenton, when a gas heater ex¬
ploded in the band room.
Dennis Hie, s suffered
cuts about the face when a
was blown against him. He
treated at the Trenton Clinic.
Also hurt were Mike Steele
and Larry Case, both 10. They
suffered singed faces and hair.
! The boys were attempting
light the heater when it ex¬
ploded. The explosion damaged
several durms in the room.
They can have their numbers.
We’re content for those places
to concentrate on QUANTITY
and we’ll just keep on plugging
our QUALITY.
So far as we know, Ellijay
famous for just two things.
Apples and that unmentionable
products fo the hills,
i Well we’ll put up our Sand
Mountain sorghum, our Dade
j tomatoes, our lumber and that
product of the
hills, against the crowds of
Marthasville and the products
of Ellijay any day.
We’ll stick to quality and they
have their quantity.

Nethery Will Head
Girl Scout Drive
Martin Nethery, owner-opera¬
tor of Trenton’s Western Auto
Association Store, has accepted
chairmanship of the Girl Scout
Council Fund Drive.
Mr. Nethery is busy this week
getting out letters to Dade
Countians and organizing the
drive.
He urged citizens to mail
checks to him at PO Box 76,
Trenton.
He pointed out that the phil-
osphy underlying democracy is
the foundation on which Girl
Scouting is built. “Helping
others, giving service whenever
and whereever it is needed,
working with the group toward
a common goal, developing
qualities of leadership and learn
ing to work under another’s
leadership—all this is packed
into the Girl Scout program,”
he said.
VITALITY VS. STAGNATION
I THE DESTINY OF DADE ....
m If i ----DEPENDS ON WATER
“Georgia will become one of
the nation’s top industrial
—through proper
of its water resources.
“Water is one of the
of all industry, and industry will
■settle in those areas which can
supply it.”
We’re proud. We have advo¬
cated the above ideas. But these
as given here are direct quotes
from a man who is in far better
position to know the situation.
These statements were made by
a man who knows whereof he
speaks.
The man is Senator Richard
B. Russell...... .............
He made the statements in a
speech at Sanderville last week,
And he added. “I firmly be¬
lieve that water can unlock the
door to a golden future for
Georgia.”
Senator Russell went on: “One
of our most important assets in
bringing new industry here
the Georgia people themselves
. . . they constitute an indus¬
trial force without peer.”
Again, we take pride, for we
too had said just that.
Here in Dade we have a

Tax Revision Study
Group Holds Session
Rep. Maddox Hale, a member
of the Georgia House of Repre¬
sentatives’ tax study committee,
last week attended a three-day
session of the group in Atlanta.
The ad valorum tax problem,
existing throughout the state
and particularly in Dade Coun¬
ty, was discussed. The special
study committee is charged with
making a full report to the
General Assembly in January.
Rep. Hale said the committee
hopes to devise some means of
equalizing assesments with a
view to lowering the tax rate.
Such a move would have the
affect of boosting county and
state income and creating a
more favorable “business cilm-
ate” for new industry.
The House committee was set
up after the Senate turned
down a full General Assembly
study group.
Many associations, including
the State Chamber of Com¬
merce, G. E. A. and Associated
Industries of Georgia, have en¬
dorsed the purpose of the group.
wealth of people, willing to
work, We have a wealth of
water,, but want for a means of
putting it to use.
The senator also pointed out
that the majority of industries
now prefer to locate in smaller
communities, adjacent to large
cities, because of the appeal of
small town living conditions for
workers, yet the appeal of big-
city facilities in transportation,
finance and communications.
And we and Senator Russell
are not along in believing these
things. The Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, the Industrial Dev¬
elopment Division of Georgia
Tech, the Coosa Valley Planning
and Development Assn., the
