INDIANS LOSE TO LEE HIGH, 25 TO 6;
( I
DACUS RETURNS KICKOFF 104 YARDS
BY BILLY ESPY
The only bright spot in the
rainy, muddy game between Lee
High and the Summerville In
dians came in the third quarter
when Joe Faye Dacus. Summer
ville’s fleet halfback, took a Lee
kickoff 4 yards behind his goal
line and with some excellent
blocking raced 104 yards to score
the Indians’ only touchdown.
Key blocks on this run were
made by Bobby Nix and Jimmy
Bush.
Lee High scored early in the
first period after taking, the
kick-off and marching 60 yards
to score with Keeton going over
from the 1. Parrish scored the
extra point.
Lee kicked to Summerville,
Bush taking the ball to the 38.
Ralph Stanley was hurt throw
ing a block on this return and
had to leave the game, his ear
being cut badly. Dacus lost 4,
and Cash fumbled the ball, be
ing recovered by Lee High on
the 22, 2 lirie plays netted 4 yards
as Mac Smith heaved a long pass
that was intercepted by Bobby
Nix on the goal line. Nix raced
up the sidelines to the 25. where
he slipped and fell trying to side
step in the mud. Dacus picked
up 5, Nix got 1 and a pass from
Dacus to Jimmy Bush was good
for 9 and a first down, then the
Indians’ offense bogged down
and Dacus kicked out of bounds
on the 10. One line play picked
up 4 for Lee and from there it
was Keeton again, this time rac
ing 86 yards for the tally. The

: Huge Group Hears Pope
> Lanham and John Brock
i More than 500 persons gather
bed at the beautiful Memorial
l Home site Sunday afternoon to
; pay tribute to these Chattooga
Countains who lost their lives
in World War I and II and to
celebrate Armistice Day.
I The occasion was the third an
nual Armistice Day celebration,
which was sponsored jointly by
t American Legion post 129 and
. VFW Post 6688.
1 C. Flannery Pope, State Com
mander of the VFW, told the
group of veterans and their fam-
■ ilies that he believed if those
• who had given their lives in the
L two World Wars could speak,
; they would advocate a number of
; improvements in this country.
I Naming them, Mr. Pope placed
;! national security first and elimi
nation of juvenile delinquency
second.
“I am of the opinion,” he said,
: “that there is no juvenile delin
l qunecy, but that it is a matter
, of parental delinquency.”
Other points brought out by
the speaker as improvements
! those giving their lives for this
! country would endorse includes
the following: better hospital
care for veterans: better housing
for veterans; better program of,
• on-the-job training; improve-;
’ ment of processing veterans
1 claims; and each post with a
1 home of it’s own.
Commander Pope reminded the
group of the purpose of the VFW,
■ which is to perpetutate the com
radeship which grew out of the
associations in the Wars, and to
honor the dead by aiding the
living.
Congressman Lanham
Also on the platform located in
front of the unfinished Memorial
Home structure, was Congress
man Henderson Lanham.
Advocating some sort of world
union or organization to preserve
the peace, Congressman Lanham
declared that he was not advo
cating Pacificism, nor appease
ment or the abandonment of our
national policy of strength and
preparedness. ;
I “But we must not rely entirely ;
L upon our preparedness program,”
he said. “If we stop there, our 1
(very efforts to get ready for war
I may lead us into war. For ex- j
ample we are now thinking in '
terms of winning a third world ’
war. Some even are advocating > -
that we start a third world war •
as a preventive of war.’
He pointed out that it is the
duty of our top military men to 1
think in terms of winning a third j 1
■ world war if it should come, but <
'that it is just as certainly the i
' duty of our statesmen, our religi- . 1
ous leaders, our scientists, our
philosophers and just “plain p
John Q. Citizen” to be thinking i
in terms of preventing the Third >:
World War.
I “We must think and talk peace
instead of war,” Congressman I
Lanham told the huge group of J
—. I (
i try for the conversion failed. |
The third period saw another :
Lee score pushed across as a pass
from Dacus was' intercepted by
Lee on the 46. From there Lee
drove to the 16, where Nac Smith
went over for the score. The try
for the extra ooint again failed
and at the half the score stood
■ I 19-0.
Summerville received the kick
off after the half and after an
exchange of punts, Summerville
held Lee on their own 18, the In
’ dians failed to gain and Dacus’
I kick was blocked on the 16. .
; 1 Again it was Keeton, this time •
from the 16, again the try for 1
s conversion failed. i
Then came the big moment for■:
the Indian rooters? Dacus took :
’ the kickoff behind his goal line, i
hit the sidelines, picked up a
couple of well timed blocks and '
■ got to the midfield stripe where !•
Bobby Nix took out the last Lee f '■
' player and Dacus was all by <
himself to score the Indians only : <
; touchdown. The try for the ex- j i
i tra point failed. , 1
The rest of the third period ;
[ and all of the last period the two ;
teams battled without a score |.
and neither team seriously •
! threatened.
Friday night the Indians play i
i their last home game, playing •
■ host to the undefeated team 1 .
from Sylvania, Ala. Sylvania has

listeners.
The speaker quoted from Dr.
Arnold Toynbee in his book,
“Civilization on Trial,” which
says that whether western civili
zation survives or goes the way
of all prior civilizations, depends
upon our answer and response to
the great challenge our civili
zation, which is war.
Discussing a world government,
Congressman Lanham said that
most advocates of such a plan
agree that it should have at least
the following miniipum powers:
1. Prohibit the use or threat of
force in the settlement of in
ternational disputes; 2. Control
atomic energy and other similia.
scientific developments; 3. Limit
the arms and forces of member
nations to leves required for in
ternal policirtg; 4. Raise revenue
under a limited but direct taxing
power independent of national
taxation.
“You men bo whom I speak to
day know better than anyone
else living the horrors and de
structiveness of war. Your or
ganizations could become the
mightiest forces in America to
day in promoting world security
and peace if you would embrace
as part of your program the
formation of such a world feder
ation. It is my hope and prayer
that you throw your strength in
to the urgent battle for the pres-
I ervation of civilization and hu
manity.”
In conclusion, the speaker said
that “then we could rejoice in
the poets Parliament of Man, the
Federation of the World. Then
j indeed could we beat our swords
into ploughshares, and our spears
into pruning hooks, and men
would learn wa: no more.’
John Brock, of Adairsville
Seventh District Commander of
the American Legion, told the
veterans that they are first citi
zens and that both the organiza
tion he represents and the VFW
are primarily concerned with
civilian activities.
The only good thing about war
is the friendships made, Mr.
Brock said, and the nearest thing
to heaven on earth is a war’s
end.
A welcome was given by Em
mett Clarkson, commander of
the local American Legion Post,
who expressed his appreciation
for the help given toward con
struction of the new building,
which is now in progress.
In a joint - welcome to the
group, Hinton Logan, VFW com
mander of Post 6688, commented
on the progress of the building
and urged all eligible men to join
the VFW.
Miss Mae Earl Strange. Unit
President of the American Leg
ion Auxiliary spoke briefly and
announced the Auxiliay’s mem
bership drive.
John Stubbs, of Summerville.
Seventh District V. F. W. Com-;
mander. acted as master of
ceremonies and introduced the
Speakers. He extended a special
welcome to the honor guests, the
gold star families, who had re
served seats near the speaker’s
stand.
The Marine Reserve Band, of
Rome, presented several musical
selections during the program,
including the National Anthem.

CITY ATTORNEY ESPY
RULES ON SEWER,
WATER QUESTION
City Attorney T. J. Espy this
week issued a ruling to the effect
\ that it is not illegal for the City
of Summerville to have sewers
and a water system installed in
houses outside the city limits.
The ruling followed a charge
by a group of citizens that the
city was acting Illegally in con
nection with the installation of a
number of sewers and water sys
: terns in several outlying houses
of the Summerville Manufactur
ing Company villiage.
Mr. Espy cited the water Reve
nue Certificate Act, title 87-801.
which grants to municipalities
the authority to construct water
systems and sewer systems
“within and without the munici
pal limits” of any city in Georgia,
i In Georgia Reports 201, page
228, Mr. Espy also cited the case
of Reed vs. the City of Smyrna,
and revenue certificate law 37,
Constitution of ’45, where each
revenue certificate becomes a
part of the charter of every mu
nicipality of this state.
The city attorney has forward-i
ed his ruling to Maddox and
Maddox, of Rome, the law firm
representing the citizens making
the charges.
Survey for Park
Is Now Being Made
A survey is being made this
week of the park area, after
which plans for drainage will be
made, according to a statement
by the Board of Directors in
charge of the building of the
Park.
The move to secure a park for
Summerville was begun recently
by a group of interested citizens
who felt that the need for such
a recreational spot was great and
that it was up to the people to
;see that it was obtained.
The Board was eleced recently
at a meeting ol a number of in
terested people from Summerville
and vicinity.
The plot of land between the
Summerville High School and the
railroad has been set aside for
this park.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
IN FAVOR OF A
COUNTY HOSPITAL
The monthly meeting of the)
Chattooga County Medical So-i
ciety was held Tuesday evening
at the home of Dr. R. N. Little.
Several items of business were
taken up, among them the dis
cussion of possibilities of getting
i a county hospital for Chattooga
County. The Medical Society
| went on record as being 100 per
i cent in favor of taking advant
age of the present program of
the Federal and State Govern
ments under the Taft-Hartley
; law, for erection of County Hos-
I pitals wherever needed.
' Under this program the Fed
|eral and State governments will
furnish two-thirds of the neces
sary funds for building and 1
equipping a county hospital, pro- ,
vided the County raises the re
maining one-third and furnishes
a suitable site for location of the :
building. This is a wonderful
opportunity for Chattooga Coun
ity to secure a much-needed,
) adequate, well-equipped hospital :
I for only one third of its actual
cost. ;
Following the business session
of the meeting, a delicious din
ner was served by Mrs. Little.
After dinner, three case his
tories were presented for discus
sion by Dr. G. H. Little, of Trion,
and Dr. Howell P. Holbrook and
Dr. William T. Gist , both of
Summerville.
Only two members were absent '
from the meeting.

LOCAL SEAL SALE
QUOTA IS $2,000
If the Chattooga County Tu
berculosis Association is to carry
out its plan for expanded tuber
culosis control services to com
munity residents during the com
ling year, it must raise $2,000 in
}the 1948 Christmas Seal Sale
I which begins Dec. 6 and will con

duct the Seal Sale throughout
the county simultaneously with
the 3,000 organizations all over

they have a second home way out

Although they are the or,ly
ones in Georgia, Mr. and Mrs.
Lon Ed Kirby of Summerville,
are not the only couple in these
48 states who have a soft spot in
their hearts for Mr. and Mrs. Al
Young, of Long Beach, Calif.
There are 50 other veterans and

'returned from a tour of the
Southwest Pacific. And he want
led his wife, Nellie, to visit him
Plans were made and Mrs. Kirby
: was on her way to the West
I Coast, but her sailor husband
was worried. There was no place
for them to stay. Thousands of
servicemen were sending for
their wives as they returned or
before they shipped out, and
.rooms were rare.
Mr. Kirby made many inquiries
at booths whose purpose was to
aid servicemen in their search
for living quarters, and it was
after one of these futile inquires
that he was standing alone won
dering where to go next.
A soft spoken man with a
twinkle in his eyes approached
and a casual conversation en
sued.
Mr. Young's resulting invita
tion to “come home with me”
both shocked and delighted the
distressed Chattooga Countian.
Mrs. Kirby arrived and the two
of them spent eight days, rent
free, in a completely furnished
bedroom, with adjoining bath
They were the sixth of the 51
couples who were the guests of
“Uncle Al” and Mrs. Young dur
ing and following the war years.
Visting Others
Prior to visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Kirby, they had visited eight
other of their war made friends,
| and planned to call on seven
more before returning to Cali
i fornia. A tour earlier this year
i carried them to visit five vet
i erans and their wives. The 51
couples who visited Mr. and Mrs.
Young were from 31 states.
“I had heard,” Uncle Al said
“that Southern hospitality had
died. But I can n. ~ay that is a
malicious lie.”
Mr. and Mrs. Young will re
turn in time to attend the wed
sring of their youngest daughter,
who will be married on December
26.
will be tfe: Last time I’ll
walk up the aisle 1 ”* Mr. YJung
said, “because all four of them
will be married then.”
Inspired to Help
Their inspiration to help the
servicemen during the war years
was a picture in a newspaper of
a young soldier and his wife sit
ting on a park bench. They had
spent the night there.
Mr. and Mrs. Young immedi
ately went to work furnishing
and equipping an extra room in
their real estate office >and mak
ing it inviting and comfortable.
The results of this move have
been far reaching. Not only have
they given much joy to the
couples who were fortunate
enough to be their guests, but
the couples in turn have inspired
Mr. Young to write a book. It is
entitled “Furlough Den.’
The Indoor Sports Club, orga
nized for cripples, will receive
the entire proceeds from the sale
of this book, according to Mr.
Young. There are 17 clubs, and
Mr. Young is associated with the
Long Beach group, which is com
posed of 175 members.
“It is organized for mutual in
terest among cripples,” Mr
'Young said, “and we hope to be
able to get a clubroom with the
proceeds from this book. It’s al
ready sold and will be on the
I market soon.”
The creed of “Uncle Al” is this:
“Do not keep alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak approving, cheering words,
while their ears can hear them
and Vvhile their hearts can be
thrilled and made happier by
them. The kind things you mean
to say when they are gone, say
before they go. The flowers you
mean to send for their coffins
send to brighten and sweeten
their homes, while they live in
them. If my friends have alabas
ter boxes, (full pf fragrant per
fumes of sympathy and affZ:-
tion) laid away, intending to
break them over my dead body,
I would rather they would open
them that I may be refreshed
and cheered by them, while I
need them.
“I would rather have a plain
coffin without a flower, a funeral
without an eulogy than a life
without the sweetness of love
and. sympathy. Let us leam to
anoint our friends beforehand
for their burial. Post mortem
kindness does not cheer the
[troubled spirit. Flowers on the
I coffin cast no fragrance back
ward o’er life’s weary way.”
