INDIANS LOSE TO
MODEL 7-0; PLAY
LEE HIGH FRIDAY
By Billy Espy
After holding a strong Model
eleven scoreless for three and a
half quarters, the Summerville
Indians suffered their third de
feat of the current grid season
(as Billy Evans. Model fullback
I broke through the Indians’ de-
I sense and scampered 63 yards to
I score the Blue Devil’s only TD. A
1 pass from Potts to Self was good
■ for the extra point attempt and
- the score stood 7-0.
Although the Indians were the
underdogs, they battled the Blue
Devils to the whistle, and threat
ened 3 times, as they penetrated
Model territory within the 30-
iyard line three times. On one
I occasion the Indians were on the
I Model 16 and interference was

Strickland, lanky end who has
done a good job of filling the
gap left by the injury to Grant
Davison, the pass was ruled com
plete on the 2 yard line, but the
Indians were unable to score.
The red and white line played
their usual good game, although
it was ■weakened considerably by
the loss of Roy Lee Bagley, who
was injured in the second quarter
and had to leave the game. Bag
ley has played well this year
from the pivot spot and also
I backing the line. His absence will
i be missed very much.
The secondary also played a
I good game, with Capt. Bobby Nix
making many jarring tackles, as
did Jimmy Bush and Joe Faye
I Dacus.
I Offensively speaking, again it
was Dacus and Nix bearing the
brunt of the attack, as Fullback
Ralph Stanley aided the cause
greatly by accounting for 5 first
downs.
And now for a little construc
| tive criticism, the Indians’ block
ing was off, especially on sweeps
and off-tackle runs, as was their
downfield blocking. If this was
corrected they would stand a
better chance of winning their I
■ remaining games. Also the line |

either hurried the passer, there

throwing the passer for a loss.

Welfare Increase
Is Misunderstood
Georgia’s 15* County Welfare
Boards have recently been flood
ed with inquiries and correspon
dence on behalf of aged and
blind recipients of grants under
the Social Security program, ac
cording to State Director William ,
E. Ireland. “The mistaken idea
that an automatic ‘across the ;
board’ increase of $5.00 per
month of reach of these benefi
ciaries was granted under the
supplemental basis of Federal ■
participation in the last regular
session of Congress, has created’,
considerable misunderstanding •
on the part of these beneficiaries ■ ■
of public assistance,” Director i ■
Ireland explained. 1
“In October, the large sll ■
monthly amount that any old .
age and needy blind recipient :
could receive was raised from
$45.00 to $50.00. For aid to de- ;
pendent children the largest j
amounts were raised from $24.00
to $27.00 for the first child and ■
from $15.00 to SIB.OO for each ad- | (
ditional child, with $99.00 per ,
month as Georgia’s largest pay- ;
ment to any one family for aid ]
to dependent children. In cases ■ •
where the recipients were eligi- i
ble, these higher grants took I
effect with November payments. 1 ,
However, despite this increased
Federal participat ion, the \ I
amounts of grants in all public
assistance categories could only j i
be increased to such extent as i
State funds were available forj
‘matching’ Federal funds,” he I
' pointed out.
The Director also emphasized
the fact that such increases as
were now provided could only be
granted on the basis of certified I
budgeted need in accordance
with the rule that has always
been the case.
“There is no possibility under
Federal and State laws and reg
ulations of awarding an over-all
increase of a fixed amount to all
recipients. The situation is simi
lar to the one that has constant-
I wish Io thank each and every
one that supported me for your

daughter of Riegeldale Illustrious
Benjamin out of the world record
cow Green Meadow Melba, which
sold April 12 last to Dr. John R.
Martin, Lynbeth Farm, Chatta
nooga, Tenn., for $26,000.00. Ben’s
Melba was 13 months old the day
she was sold. Dr. Martin subse
quently sold her to Mr. and Mrs.
F. L. Weyenburg, Wey Acres
Farm, Thiensville, Wis., for $28,-

world record prices for Guernsey
females. The previous record price
was attained in 1925 when Shut
tlewick Levity that had a two
I year old record of 16,898 lbs. milk
i and 804 lbs. fat and was twice
senior and grand champion at
the National Dairy Show, sold for
$25,500.00. The blood of Green

in the animals that are to be sold
since most of them will be sired
by sons or grandsons of this
great cow.
ly prevailed since the grant of
public assistance was first in
troduced, namely that old-age
benefits do not accrue automati
ally at the age of slxty-five, but
must in every case be based upon
the determination of individual
I need,” Mr. Ireland declared.
1 He also explained that any
temporary increase in the bal
ance of funds in State Welfare
Department which may result
from the increase in Federal
funds must be devoted to adding
new applicants to the rolls and I
the prevention of freezing axist
ing amounts of grants to pres- I
ent recipients. If such funds as I
may become available from this
source were immediately dis-1
bursed to present recipients, it |
would only be a few weeks before
the Welfare Department would i
be caught in an unsound finan- j
cial condition, while the amounts
to present grants would have to
be reduced in order to avoid ex
hausting our ability to take care
of Georgia’s eligible new appli
cants who are entitled by law to
this type of assistance.
It was also pointed out that
under the Federal interpretations
of the recent congressional sup
plement to the public assistance
program all eligible applicants
must be certified and added to
the present rolls. It is estimated
that these will number about a
thousand additional recipients
each month. Also that State
funds currently available are not
sufficient to absorb such an add
ed load and at the same time
raise existing averages grants to
any noticeable extent.

Fire Protection News
By George Bishop,
County Ranger
One fire was reported in the
county last week. It started late
in the aftemon of the 26th, and
we discovered it when it started
up again at 2:30 on the 27th.
This happened northwest o i
Trion on Riegel Textile Corpora
tion’s land, and one-half of an
acre was burned. Some careless
hunter or hunters caused the
fire.
Having just one fire in a dry
week in the fall season can mean
only one thing. That is that al
most everyone is convinced that
To Our Customers
One year ago, Nov. 1,1 bought the Summerville
Diner.
I haven't served the people the past year like I've
wanted to, due to ill health, but I do want to thank the
good people of Summerville and Chattooga County
for the way they have stood by me through it all.
I have had to change management several times
the past year, but now I hope to keep the man I have
in charge, Henry Miller, and give you better service
throughout the coming year.
Come on to the Diner and enjoy a good meal and
friendly service as the most reasonable price.
Thanking everyone again.

iwe can’t grow timber and bum
I the woods, and so are being care
jful with their burning and with
fire while they are in the woods.
Some few are still careless or
thoughtless, but with the coope
ration of every thinking person
in the county, we can steadily
decrease that number.
In all, three fires were reported
during the month of October.
I These three fires burned a total
?f 2 acres, all three were caused I
jby hunters, and we estimated

State Department of Forestry
: that after November 1, they could
