PRIZE WINNERS AT
THE COUNTY FAIR
ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR JUDGED
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN ITS
THIRTY-YEAR HISTORY.
The annual Chattooga County fair,
held last week, was conceded by
many, who have attended it regularly
year after year, to be the most suc
cessful ever held. It was attended by
record crowds during the three-day
session.
The exhibits were unusually inter
esting and attractive, although there
were probably not as many individual
entries. Many favorable comments
were made regarding the change in
method of display of community ex
hibits. The community exhibits were
particularly int< resting and contrib
uted much from an educational stand
point.
The ladies’ department gave evi
dence of interesting effort and great
skill, both in quantity and quality of
goods displayed and in the manner
of display. The booths were very ar
tistically arranged by those in charge.
The girls’ 4-H club and the women’s
home demonstration club exhibits
were interesting as well as educa
tional.
The live stock and poultry division
shower greater improvement than
any other departments at the fair. A
large number of highly-bred animals
and fowls were disp.ayed. It is hoped
that before the next fair a permanent
live stock building may be construct
ed. Such a building would greatly fa
cilitate the display of poultry and
other live stock.

SUMMERVILLE WINS
FROM DALTON HIGH
IN NIGHT CONTEST
INDIANS ARE VICTORIOUS IN
THIRD STRAIGHT GAME BY
19 TO 6 SCORE.
By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
Summerville should be proud of
their fpotbal team now. They went to
Dalton last Friday night to play a
supposedly much better team. Going
out on the field at 7:30 in the first
game under the arcs in SHS’s foot
ball history, the Indians put on a
great show all the way. Not for a
moment after the first quarter was
the outcome in doubt. The team was
in great form for the game despite
the fair being held in the park. Coach
Boney put the boys through the traces
on a very small piece of ground out
side the park.
Beatty was captain for this game
and played his best game since he
put on a uniform. He hardly ever
failed to gain and average 5.8 per
try. Thomas nearly equalled this with
an average of 5.7. But Beatty was
undoubtedly the best back on the field
that night. “Lightning” Sitton played
a good defensive game and also play
ed his best game of the year. Har
den, Dalton’s captain, was their of
fensive threat, and played a nice
game.
Dalton won the toss and elected to
receive. Summerville defended the
north goal as there was a slight
breeze from that direction. Harden
received Thomas’ kick on the 20 and
returned it 15 yards to the 35, and
the game was on. On the first play,
Bramlett tried a pass which was no
good. Harden made 7 yards and Tripp
tackled. Bramblett ran for 2 yards.
Easley made but one yard as
Thomas smacked him but it was good
for a first down. They were held for
three downs and Harden punted to
the SIIS 11, where it was downed.
Turner ran for 8 yards. Beatty made
5 and a first down. Summerville
could not gain and Thomas punted to
the 15, where Myers tackled. Thomas
hit Bramlett after he had made 5
yards. Rogers made a yard and Hank
ins tackled. Harden made 4 yards and
a first down. Rogers gained 3 yards,
Thomas made the tackle. Thomas tac
kled Bramlett after 4. Rogers made
2 yax-ds with Thomas tackling. Dalton
kicked to Beatty on the 19, who ran
it back to the 34. Thomas made 6.
Thomas ran for 4 yards and a first
down. Thomas made 7 yards. SHE
was penalized 15 yards for holding.
Thomas again gained 7, and then
punted to the 18; it was returned to
the 30. Harden made 9. Myers tackled
Bramlett after he had made 3 yards
and a first down. Dalton missed con
nections on a lateral and Thomas re
covered for Summerville on the 20-
yard line. Beatty got the ball; it ap
peared as if he had sprouted wings
as he tore around right end and side
stepped a couple of Dalton players.
He could not cut in and so he outran
everyone for 20 yards and a touch
down. Thomas’ kick was good. Score:
Summerville, 7; Dalton, 0.
Thomas kicked to Hackney on 18,
he ran it back to the 28 where Thom
as tackled. After an unearned first
down, Dalton fumbled and Myers
recovered on the 39. Beatty ran for
8 yards. Hankins made 2 yards and a
first down. Then Dalton braced and
the Indians missed a golden chance
to score as they could make but 6
yards in four down and the ball went
over. After Dalton made a first down
they punted to the 26 where it was
downed again, Summerville was held
and Thomas kicked to the 26 and it
was returned to the 43 by Easley.
Starting their first and only touch
down march, Harden made 2 yards,
.'ramlett made 4 yards as Denson
tackled. Rogers broke away for 16
yards and a "first down on the 31,
where Sitton tackled. Bramlett made
4 yards. Dalton fumbled but recov
ered for a 2-yard loss. Howard (Eas
ley’s sub) caught a forward lateral
for 8 yards and a first down. Beatty
threw Bramlett for a yard loss. Har
den made 8 yards with Hankins tack
ling SHS was penalized yards for
being offsides and Dalton had an un
earned first down on the 9. Harden
made 2 yards. Then with a slight va
riation the old statue of liberty was
pulled from its sleeping bag and used.
With Rogers carrying the ball to the
I-foot line, where Beatty tackled des
perately, Harden plunged over for the
touchdown. Dalton fumbled on the try
for extra point and Beatty recovered:
Score right before the half: Indians,
7; Dalton, 6.
Dalton’s kick was blocked by the
SHS line and Thomas recovered on
the SHS 38. Hankins’ pass to Myers
was good for 21 yards and a first

By “THE SUNSHINE LADY.”
I had something very nice to shov
che Wise Old Owl last night when h<
tame to visit me. It was a who!
xackage of letters from the thir
;rade children of the Trion school
Jhe letters were all about “Birds,’
and we were so sorry we did not re
ceive them in time for them to he
entered in last week’s contest on thai
uhject. That contest closed at noon
Friday, Oct. 23.
But any way, Wise Owl and I en
joyed reading them. There were some
plendid letters among them.
“Let’s choose the test one of them,”
1 suggested, “and send the writer a
/mall special prize, to show the Trion
children that we were glad to hear
Tom so many of them.”
The Wise Old Owl agreed, and so
we read all the letters carefully; and
at last the Wise Old Owl decided that
the letter written by Gei - aldine Haw
dns deserved the prize. So we are
nailing you a little remembrance,
Geraldine; and we hope that you and
all your classma.es will write to us
again often, and become members of
the Wise Old Owl’s club.
Send your letaers to us early
onough so that they will be in The
Summerville News office not later
than noon on Friday of the week fol
lowing announcement of the subject.
That is, you have eight days to write
them and get them to The News of
fice. In that way, you will have a
chance of winning the rgeular week
ly prize of 50 cents in cash.
Other Trion boys and girls whose
letters about “Birds” deserve honor
able mention are: Dale Brown, Faye
down the DHS 41. Again Hankins’
pass was good, to Payton this time,
for 11 yards and another first down.
Stevenson (Caylore’s sub) intercept
ed the next pass as Sitton tackled,
and the half ended.
Summerville got their choice and
elected to receive. Dalton kicked to
Thomas on the 19, who returned to
the 24. Beatty ran for 2. Thomas
plunged for 11 and a first down as a
starter towards a touchdown. Thom
as plunged again for 5 this time.
Beatty circled his left end for 13
yards and another first down. Thom

down. Again Thomas for 9 yards and
then tio gain. Myers lost 3 yards on
a reverse. Beatty made 5 yards and
continued the first downs. Hankins
could not gain. Thomas made 5.
Beatty made 2. Thomas plunged for
2 yards and a first down on the 2-
yard line. SHS was penalized 5 yards
for being offsides. Thomas drove hard
into the middle of the line and went
over from the 7-yard line. His try for
the extra point was wide/ Senr*:

PLANS TRIP.
President Rooseelt is expected to

Pan - American conference next
month. He will likely travel aboard
the cruiser Indianapolis which is now
on the East Coast, available for
service. The rumor that Germany
casts longing eyes on South Ameri

cause the American nations, assem
led together, to reaffirm the princi

Trion, Ga., Oct 22, 1936.
Dear Sunshine Lady:
Birds are cheerful little fellows.
They wake us up every morning with
their sweet songs.
The bluebird is the first bird to be
seen in spring. He seems to say,
tpring is hex-e. Spring is here.”
In winter birds fly south. Some
birds stay here.
We should fix a little feeding table
for the birds who stay with us.
I scatter crumbs for them.
Your friend,

After the Wise Old Owl and,l had

Baptists To Meet At
Trion Sunday At 2
The Baptist Executive Committee
will meet with the Trion Baptist
church next Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2
o’clock p.m. At its last annual ses
sion, the Chattooga association named
Rev. D. B. Maffett as county-wide
chairman of the Baptist Orphans’
home work; they also adopted resolu
tions urging all Baptist to observe
the Thanksgiving and the spring of
ferings to their orphans’ home, and
also urging that we increase our
shipment of produce and supplies
when the committee calls on us for
these. Also the association, at same
session, named a chairman from each
church whose duty it is to co-operate
with the county chairman, to keep
their churches informed, and to see
their their churches do their share
in carrying out these resolutions.
At our last meeting, held at Menlo
church last month, we featured state
missions. Pastor J. G. Black was in
charge and he gave us a splendid
program. Several churches were rep
resented and the Menlo people turn
ed out in large numbers, for which
the committee is very thankful.
The committee has set aside this
month as our Baptist Orphans’ home
month. They have given Bro. Maffett
complete charge of the program for
next Sunday afternoon, that he may
present the work and needs of the
heme. We most earnestly desire that
each church be represented at this
meeting and that the meeting be at
tended in large numbers, and that
we may have an interesting and pro
fitable session. Remember the time
has been changed to 2 o’clock.
In our Orphans’ home at Hapeville
we have over 300 children that are
looking to us for support. They must
be cared for. The management tells
us that they have a heavy debt on
them. Let us give this matter our
serious and prayerful consideration,
and make our cash offering at
Thanksgiving very liberal, and when
the committee calls on us for provis
ions to make up car to be sent to
them later on, let’s do this in a big
way—Chairman of Committee.

ENDING?
Students of international economics
see signs that the trade war which
began in 1930 is beginning to die
down. The recent currency agreement
between England, France and the
United States, together with tariff
reductions with France, Italy and
Switzerland, are expected to mark
the beginning of the end of the eco
nomic war which has involved cur
rencies, tariffs and many other bar
rier* to trade.

TEMPERANCE RESOLUTION.
Adopted by Summerville - Menlo
Methodist quarterly conference Nov.
Ist:
Whereas, the liquor interest is so
possessing the country, as manifest
ed by the sales of wine and beer, and
bootleg liquor in many of the filling
stations, road houses and restau
rants, and;
Whereas, so many of our young
.people visit these places and many
of them, both boys and girls—some
of them minors—are drinking, and;
Whereas, there are so many acci
dents occurring on our highways, the
number of such accidents is growing
in proportion to the increased sales
of intoxicating drinks;
Therefore, be it resolved, first, that
as officials in the Methodist church,
we believe it to be our Christian duty
to do all in our power to cori'ect the
prevailing conditions.
That we, as church officials, here
by ask the county officials (com
missioners) of Chattooga county to
prevent the sales of legal beer and
wine in our county, beginning Jan.
1, 1937.
That the same request be made to
the mayor and council of Summer
ville.
That the following committee be
appointed to present this to our coun
ty board of commissions: C. L. Hale,
G. J. Boling, J. W. Murphy and A.
C.C. Pinion. To the City of Sum
merville: Dr. E. R. Buskin, C. L.
Hale and G. C. Sublette.
That we respectfully ask all church
schools, women’s organizations, young
peoples’ Sunday school classes, chur
ches, school boards, teachers of Chat
tooga county to pass similar resolu
tions and present the same to our
county board and city officials.
The revelation that the British Air
Ministry, through Canadian orders, is
drawing upon American aircraft com
panies to speed up its aerial rearma
ment, indicates that the British gov
ernment realizes the dangerous con
dition of European affairs and the
necessity for the empire to have a
powerful means of making its voice
effective in international affairs.
