Laborers Needed
On Dam Work
At Cartersville
Increase in Wages Decreases
Number of Job Openings in
Textile Work in This Area
Jackhammer operators and la
borers are still need in Carters
ville on the Allatoona Dam con
struction project, according to M.
A. N. Patton, manager of the
Rome office of the United States
Employment Service. They are at
present working 48 hours per
week and pay time and one-half
for over 40 hours. The starting
rate for jackhammer operators
is 80 cents per hour and for la
borers 65 cents per hour.
An increased number of appli
cations are being received for tex
tile work in both Chattooga and
Floyd counties since the latest in
crease in wages became effective,
Mr. Patton stated. This naturally
decreases the number of job
openings for textile work and
those hired for this type of work
are usually required to be well- i
qualified workers with good back-I
grounds.
Mr. Patton continued: “There
are numerous openings for loop
ers, knitters, boarders and other
hosiery manufacturing occupa
tions; also, sewing and chenille
machine operators, female train
ees for rayon yarn manufactur
ing. These traineers start at 57
cents per hour and the average
earnings of production workers
is 70 cents to 90 cents per hour.”
Other orders on file with the
Rome office for work over the
state include radio engineers,
nurses, electric motor repairman,
watchmakers, pharmacists, in
strument repairman, mechanical
design engineer, auto mechanics,
powerhouse engineer and others.
It 1s the policy of the USES to
refer workers to jobs that they
are qualified to do on a local ba
sis and if no local openings exist
for these workers’ skills or if he
wishes to go out of town to work,
he is then given that considera
tion.
A representative of the Rome
office of the USES may be con
tacted at the court house in Sum
merville on Thursday mornings
or applicants may apply direct to
the office in Rome at 522 Broad
Si., Mondays through Fridays.
Community Singing
Planned Tonight
This evening at 8 o’clock, the
Rev. Ben Scarborough, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, will be
in charge of a community sing
ing in the local gymnasium. The
program will include Negro spir
ituals, hymns, patriotic songs,
songs of sentiment and home,
humorous songs, and folk music
of various lands.
Don’t hesitate to come if you
can't carry a tune! Every nor
mal person can be taught to car
ry a tune—so the records prove.
In a recent survey in the public
schools of Ithaca, N. Y., it was
found that practically everyone
is able to learn to sing a tune.
Remember, tonight at 8 o’clock
at tae gymnasium, Bro. Scar
borough will be in charge of your
community singing.

Chattooga County Chamber of
Commerce Met Friday Night
Friday night, Aug. 16, the Chattooga County Chamber of
Commerce met in Summerville at the county* court house.
About 60 members were present. The speaker was Julian
Reece, president of the Rome Chamber of Commerce. G. J.
Boling, president, opened the meeting and welcomed all new
members. B. W. Farrar, secretary, read minutes of the last
meeting and a report was made by the fact-finding commit
tee, which was appointed to investigate the various needs
of the county.
Mr. Boling notified all the
members present that the offi
cers of the chamber of commerce
were only temporary and that an
election would be held the first
of November, at which time per
manent officers would be elect
ed and take office. The present
officers are: G. J. Boling, presi
dent; T. J. Espy, vice president;
J. L. Henderson, treasurer, and
B. W. Farrar, secretary.
The report of the fact-finding
committee, dated Aug. 12, did
not make any specific recom
mendations but the most likely
subjects which the chamber of
commerce might attempt on a
county-wide basis. Some of the
suggestions were: Promote and
establish better health units (this
has already been started), better
i housing facilities, promote better
i market roads for the farmers,
' promote 4-H clubs, county freezer
I unit, investigate better fire pro
tection for rural towns and dis
tricts, encourage outside fac
tories interested to locate in the
county, encourage tourists to vis
it our section of North Georgia
and various other suggestions.
The fact-finding committee was
commended on their report by
President Boling.
Mr. Boling then introduced
Fred tSarr, of the Rome Cham
ber of Commerce, who gave a
short talk, and introduced Henry
Pyne, who spoke on “Aims and
Objectives for the Year,” outlin
ing the procedure the Rome
Chamber of Commerce follows.
Among some of these aims were;
Agricultural standpoint, business
and commercial, industrial de
velopment, civic responsibilty de
velopment, schools, churches,
recreation facilities, etc. Mr.
Pyne also made the statement
that it was better and lots more
profitable to “pick tourists than
■ to pick cotton,” which created a
considerable murmur that grew
I into a round of applause.
i Mr. Pyne then introduced the
; president of the Rome Chamber
i of Commerce, Julian Reece, who
' spoke on “What Experience Has
; Taught Me That a Chamber of
■ Commerce Means to a Commun
ity.”
The meeting adjourned at 9
o’clock after a very educational
meeting on the meaning of a

State Funds Aid
Rural Libraries
ATLANTA, Aug. 21 (GPS).—
Rural people in 122 of Georgia’s
159 counties were provided free
public library service during the
past fiscal year through the aid
of state funds, according to Dr.
M. D. Collins, state superintend
ent of schools. The amount of
state money available for this
service last year was $150,000 and
a like amount has been authoriz
ed to continue the program in
1946-47.
State aid has served to stimu
late and encourage increases in
local appropriations from city
councils, county commissioners
and county boards of education,
Dr. Collins said. However, there
are 17 counties which still have
no free library service within
their border and 20 counties in
which 28 municipal public li
braries are located failed to qual
ify for state aid last year.

Primary Children
Learn Creative
Art This Week
AU Children Interested in
Modeling Clay and Painting
Are Urged to Attend
On Wednesday and Thursday
of this week, Miss Jewell Poole,
Mrs. Andrew Williams, Jr., and
Miss Faye Busbin will direct the
primary children in learning to
use clay and tempera paints. All
children who are interested in
modeling clay and painting will
meet in the gymnasium from 9
to 12 and from 2:30 to 4:30.
Clay, one of the most impor
tant art materials that can be
used in all primary and elemen
tary grades, will be used because
working with it is creative. The
child begins with a lump of clay.
Out of it, by his own ingenuity,
he makes something. It may be a
little dog, cat, horse or cow. Per
haps he models a pair of book
ends, a paperweight, or a little
dish to be painted in many colors
and shellacked. Another reason
why clay will be used is that chil
dren thoroughly enjoy working
• with it. Native clay will be used
for this work. Monday afternoon
several of the children went with
Miss Poole to find the clay and
bring it to the gymnasium.
The children will make paint
ings. They will draw in pencil
figures o. children, vases of flow
ers, young animals and birds, or i
whatever design they desire on'
paper. Then they wPI paint it!

use their own color, design and
originality.

r 1. All children in all county
schools (both white and colored)
who walk to school will please
report to their respective schools
on Wednesday morning. Aug, 28,
at 10 o’clock to register.
2. All children who ride school
buses will report to their schools
on Thursday morning, Aug. 29,
for registration. The school buses
will cover their regular routes on
Thursday and will run in time to
have all children at school by 10
o’clock.
It is important that your child
register on one of the dates set
above. If he does not, he will be
counted absent for one day.
Because of the crowded condi
tions in the Summerville school
and because this school has been
warned by the Southern Accred
iting Commission that unless
some of the heavy teacher loads
in the schools are relieved, the
school will be taken from the ac
credited list, it will be necessary
to take some of both the high
school and elementary school
pupils to the Gore school. If you
live in the Summerville School
District and have been paying on
the bonds for the Summerville
school, your child will not be ask
ed to go to another school. How
ever, if you live in the Summer
ville district and WISH your
child to attend the Gore school
to take courses such as vocation
al agriculture which are not of
fered in the Summerville school,
you may send him to Gore,
Transportation will be provided
directly from the Summerville to
the Gore school. If enough stu
dents do not volunteer to attend
the Gore school to relieve the sit
uation in Summerville, then a
sufficient number of pupils from
outside the Summerville district
will be asked to register at Gore.
Once a child has been perma
nently registered in either the
Summerville or Gore school, he
may not change to the other
school but must remain for the
full year in the school of his orig
inal registration except in un
usual instances. Children will not
be permitted at will to change
from one school to another.
All children above Trion in
Grades 1 through 5, including the
group on the Chattanooga High
way, will register in the Myers
and Welcome Hill schools. Dur
ing the following week, if the
schools become too crowded,
' enough pupils will be transport
' ed elsewhere to take care of the
| situation. All children above
Trion in Grades 6 through 11 will
report to the Summerville school
for registration. If the child can
not be taken care of in the Sum
merville school, the parent will
receive a letter stating in which
school that child may be enrolled.
ALL CHILDREN WILL BE
TAKEN CARE OF IN SOME
I SCHOOL IN THE COUNTY. The
I county board realizes that you
are disturbed about the crowded
conditions of your school and
they want to assure you that a
building program will be gotten
under way as rapidly as possible.
| In the meantime, they feel sure
*of your cooperation in helping
them through a critical period in
! a manner that will be best for all.
