Sportsmen Warned
To Limit Game to
Legal Bag Limits
Too often alleged sportsmen
yield to temptation and take
game and fish far in excess of
the legal bag limits. Much of this
unfortunate situation, according
to Charles N. Elliott, director of
the state game and rish com
mission, is due to the fact that
many people do not realize that
this harmful and illegal prac
tice has the same affect on the
future wildlife crop that harvest
ing ail available livestock would
have on a farm.
To illustrate, he said, if farm
ers were to sell all their hogs or
cattle and leave none for pro
pagation, they would be con
fronted with the unhappy alter
native of either purchasing new
breeding stock or doing without.
So it is with birds, game and
fish.
Sufficient stock must be left to
keep the yearly surplus on a de
sirable level. Unfortunately, it is
not easy to obtain stocks of wild
life for breeding purposes, Elli
ott asserted, so everyone must be
doubly careful to stay within the
commission’s reasonable limits-
Failing to do so, sportsmen
place themselves in the ridicu
lous and unnecessary position of
a people systematically robbing
themselves of their own re
sources.
Battey Will Train,
Heal TB Sufferers
ATLANTA, June 5 (GPS).—
State educators and health au
thorities disclosed that Geor
gia’s huge new tuberculosis san
itarium at Battey General Hos
pital in Rome will have one of
the most comprehensive pro
grams for the rehabilitation of
patients in the nation. The san
itarium is expected to be remov

The hospital, said to be the
largest single-unit tuberculosis
sanitarium in the world, will of
fer elective courses in a dozen or
sodentary vocations suited to the
physical handicaps of a person
recovering irom tuberculosis, ac
cording to M. D. Mobley, director
of the division of education.
Courses will include watch re
pair, radio, such commercial sub
jects as typing and stenography,
barbering, shoe repair work and
home economics.
Mobley said a staff of teachers
would be employed by the state
department of education and Dr.
Rufus Payne, superintendent of
the hospital, said patients would
be kept there until they were
physically able to compete with
unhandicapped wage earners.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1946
Drivers’ Licenses to
Expire June 30,
1946, Says Spence
In a statement issued in Atlan
ta this week, Maj. W. E. Spence,
director of the department of
public safety, called attention to
the fact that all current Georgia
drivers’ licenses expire at mid
night June 30, 1946, (those with
1946 stamped on license) and
that the law provides that all
motorists be in actual possession
of a new license on July 1, 1946.
Major Spence said that evi
dently many drivers thought
that even though they waited
until the expiration date of their
present license, June 30, 1946,
to mail an application, this was
sufficient to meet the deadline.
He pointed out that the law
requires a driver to actually have
the new license in hand on July
1, which necessarily contemplat
ed the applicants make allow
ance for the time it takes the
application to arrive and the li
cense to be issued and delivered.
To be sure that you get your
driver’s license by July 1, 1946,
make application for it now-

SINGING AT CHELSEA
BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY
There will be a singing at the
Chelsea Baptist Church on the
second Sunday afternoon at 2
o’clock. Everyone invited.
2,880 Defective
Cars Found First
Week of Check
During the first week of the'
trafiic safety check program be
ing conducted by the peace of
ficers of Georgia, 6,205 cars were.
checked and 2,880 failed to meet
requirements, Sgt. H. C. English,
who is in command at the Dal
ton post of the state patrol, said
Motorists whose cars barely I
met requirements were urged to|
have adjustments or repairs
made at once.
“The results of the program
are very encouraging,” Sergeant j
English said. “People have begun
to realize that their cars must!
last for a long time yet and are
cooperating with the police in
these spot inspections.”
“For this program to be com
pletely successful, motorists
should voluntarily take their
cars to repair shops and have
their lights, brakes, horn, wind-i
shield wiper and tires tested.
Repairs should be made when
necessary. In this way, the haz
ards or traffic accidents will be
greatly reduced,” Sergeant Eng
lish explained.
The traffic safety check pro
gram being conducted by your
local police and the Georgia
State Patrol is part of a nation
al program in progress in all
states. Throughout the nation,
drivers who are involved in traf
fic accidents and violations are;
being checked for drivers’ li
cense and registration tags and
their cars given spot-check safe
ty tests.
At the present rate, 1,000 peo
ple will be killed and 342,000 in
jured in Georgia during 1946.
This toll would mean that scarce
ly an individual in Georgia could
escape the tragedy of having one
or more of his circle of friends
or associates in business or or
ganizations, become a candidate
for a hospital or the undertaker
due to a traific accident. Vigor
ous and concerted action can and
will correct this situation.
It is a statement, of the obvi
ous to say that the public ap
proves the idea that we should
have safety on our highways, but
public approval does not neces
sarily mean public support, and
in the past a large part of the
so-called support has been lip
service- Approval has been most
frequently applied to activities
that affect the other fellow. If
there was ever a need for unself
ish devotion to a single cause, it
exists today in our quest for
highway safety.
In conclusion, Sergeant Eng
lish called upon the public to
give their full force oi support
toward the accomplishment of a
reduction in our traffic toll.

City Court, revoked the proba
tion granted Earl Rose, and or
dered him to serve 10 months on
the public works. Last March 14,
