The Gem in Georgia’s Crown VOL. 59—No. 41 GLENNinqs 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¬ gate. — O — Here’s a sort of reprint-reprint that interested us. You know, being the editor of a small weekly entails a many-splen- dorsed task. We are reporters, janitors, advertising managers, promotion managers, etc. etc. So as advertising manager, here’s food for thought to our advertisers.

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 larger planning group. 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. * Teenage Committee Busy with Plans For Big Pet Show The youthful committee of Boy Scouts of Troops 143 and mer- bers of the Junior Garden Club were busy this week making plans for a pet show on the square Saturday, Oct. 31. will be split betwen the two or- The proceeds of the show ganizations.

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.

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 Georgia Power Co., and on and (Continued to page 7) MEDITATION O Eternal God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech Thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace.
