The Gem in Georgia's Crown
VOL. 59—N 0 43
GLENNings
At the football game the other
night between Dade High and
that Chattanooga team, two
different people came up to me
and contributed free, their res-
pe.tive witicisms.
The first came from Dale
Dover, the policy man, who says:
“Men are born with two eyes,
but with one tongue, in order
that they should see twice as
much as they say."
Being sensitive, I took it as a
personal affront. He thinks I
talk too much.
And as I stood sipping coffee
with Newell Scruggs, the pur¬
veyor of those super-aromatized
beans, along comes my second
contributor.
He was Elmer Oliver of Mor-
ganville, who said, during a dis¬
cussion of a newspaper’s func¬
tion, “Newspapers cover a mul¬
titude of sins.”
I agreed with him. We do in¬
deed cover a lot sins, so discreet¬
ly, in fact that many of us are
saved much needless embarass-
ment.
On the way home, I pondered
these two things and can truth¬
fully say that I practice both.
For I have seen the records in
City Hall on the Trenton water
system—but I have told only
half the story. And in so doing,
I’m covering some sins, discreet¬
ly, so as not to embarass a lot of
people. __
But, I do urge you to examine
these same records.
You may find it revealing.
There are people in Trenton,
using city water, who get
water bill!
There are those who get bills
—just $3 a month, flat rate, no
mater.
What I want to know is: How
do you qualify for this no¬
meter flat-rate deal?
How come I have to pay ac¬
cording to a meter reading and
others pay just $3 a month and
■btill others pay nothing
Now, I know who some of the
people are who have no water
meter—they’re not even on the
books. And I know of others
who get this flat-rate deal, but
I’m being discreet.
And, I have seen a good bit
more than I say.
Now, that the people of Tren¬
ton are going to have an opport¬
unity to say uhat they think
about the Trenton water system
and its special deals, I hope
they’ll avail themselves the op¬
portunity to throw some light on
the shadows.
Have facts—will tell.

WATER TOTE, CITY ELECTION SET!
SAFETY URGED BY
GAME RANGER AS
BEER HUNT OPENS
»Deer season opened today in
Dade, Walker and Chattooga
counties. Regulations will be the
same as last year with both
shotguns and rifles legal with
the exception of certain speci¬
fied calibers.
Bob Baker, ranger, calls at¬
tention to Georgia law providing
that it is illegal to hunt on the
lands of another without first
obtaining the consent of the
landowner or lessee. “Make cer¬
tain you have checked with the
proper person before hunting
because some landowners are
not going to permit hunting and
at least one landowner has
ileased hunting rights to a pri¬
vate club,” Baker said.
All kills are to be reported to
the State Game and Fish Com¬
mission, according to law. Deer
killed her may be reported to
any ranger on duty or at the
Haygood store at New Salem or
Hegwood’s Grocery on Rt. 289.
Baker cautions that hunters
should know what a moving ob¬
ject is befre firing.
Quiet Halloween Here
H. H. Hutchings, chief of
police, reports a very quiet Hall¬
oween in Trenton.
Some arrests were made for
drunkenness, he said, but none
for malicious mischief by prank¬
sters.
“It was one the best behaved
Halloween crowds In Trenton,
that I can remember,” he said.
