It was a great temptation, but
I overcame it and we had pork
chops for supper instead of
quail.
I was hunting for squirrel and
In the misty rain had become
cold, hungry and having seen no
squirrels, headed home. On the
way, back, I flushed a beautiful
covey of qual, and what with the
gun already loaded, I could al¬
most taste that lucious supper
I imagined.
In that instant that the birds
were in range, I thought of a
lot of things. If I’m caught for
shooting them out of season It’s
no particular matter. I figured
I could affrd a dollar, fine—and
if I pleaded ignorance of the
law, even it would be suspended.
But I thought of other things
too. And I’m not of the school
that believes laws are made to
break. And the reason for the
law3 governing hunting game
are well-founded. They tend to
insure me of good hunting for
the rest of my life. And I
thought how much more fun it
would be to be seeking that
same covy again after Nov. 20th.
Now, that covy is sort of a
challenge. And I guess Bob
Baker and members of the Wild-
lifet Club would agree that the
law itself is a challenge.
And if we're to benefit in the
long run, we’ll just have to obey
the rules of the game.
We still have guests almost
every weekend. Sometimes we
wonder whether these friends
and relatives come to see us or
the beautiful scenery here in
Dade County.
Shirley says she feels fully
qualified now to set up a tourist
bureau and conduct tours of the
Interesting spots here.
I was wondering why I’d been
put on the tourist sub-commit¬
tee of the Coosa Valley Develop¬
ment Assn. Everybody else on
the list was connected with a
hotel or motel
We think we’ve figured it out.
We had so many week end
guests, it was assumed we too
operated a tourist business.
And we do take pride in show¬
ing off our beautiful scenery,
especially this time of year when
it changes daily.
If you haven’t seen it recently,
don't fail to drive up Sand
Mountain and on into the Floral
Crest cominunity before frost
plays havoc: with the beautiful
fields of dahlias, bordered with
bright autumn leaves. The con¬
trast is really something to see.
Both the Chattanooga and
Atlanta papers recently carried 1
stories of our fall color pageant, > I
so if the power of the press
(hasn't diminished, Dade should
have many out-of-countians
here this weekend. ;

At Berry College
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
MOUNT BERRY, GA. Oct.—29
Aaron Ellis, whose home is Star
Route, Avans, has been named
president of the junior class at
Berry College. He is majoring in
math.
Activities outside class give
students at Berry College an op¬
portunity to make their course
work more effective by practice
and aid them in developing skill
in leadership. Such activities fit
into the program of Berry, to
develope the head, the hand,
and the heart.
Berry College began about the
turn of the century in a log cabin
as a school for mountain boys.
From that beginning it has
grown to a college with the
largest campus in the world, and
more than 100 modern buildings.
The college still clings to the
original plan, whereby each
student works two days a week
for the college, thus paying a
portion of his education expen¬
ses. Students wear attractive
uniforms, with the girls in pink
or green, according to their
class, and the young men in
blue. Religious life is a part of
the daily life of the students,
with interdenominational ser¬
vices in the brick-and-marble
chapel.
^he college is fully accredi¬
ted, and (graduates are in de¬
mand in business, teaching,
agriculture, and in special fields.
Many graduates continue in
professional schools.
