INDIANS LOSE TO SYLVANIA BY SCORE 13-0;
ANNUAL EVENT WITH TRION FRIDAY AT S
By Billy Espy
It's a sad, sad story.
The Sylvania Rams came to
Summerville Friday night and
gained revenge for the licking
they received here last year.
Boasting a heavy, hardcharg
ing line and a fast backfield
built around a hard-running
back named Hardeman, the
Rams scored early in the open
kick was blockd by Ivey on the
12. A pass from Halpin to Chand
ler was good for their first score.
Miller plunged over for the ex
tra point.
The Indians threatened In the
second period as they rolled to
twin stripes as two passes failed.
The red and white line was not
holding on pass-plays as time
and time again Indian backs
were thrown for losses or were
hurried into getting off a bad
pass.
The second Sylvania score
came in the third period on a
pass from Hardeman to Chisen
hall, the try for the extra point
failed.
The rest of the game the two
teams battled between the 30-
yard lines and neither showed
enough offensive strength to
score.
Summerville did not look as
impressive as they have in earlier
games, due to the absence of Joe
Faye Dacus, who was burned by
Turkey High Here;
Chicken, Pork, Ham
May Substitute
Turkey prices in Summerville
range from 83 cents to 95 cents
per pound.
That’s the information derived
Wednesday from a survey of the
meat markets in Summerville.
Several of the markets do not
handle turkeys.
One merchant said that turk
eys weighing 18 pounds and more
would be approximately 79 cents,
while those in the 10 to 18 pound
bracket would go for 85 cents.
Another said his would range
from .89 to .95, while another
quoted his price as 83 cents.
It was the opinion of one
prominent merchant that most
of the people might have a
“turkeyless’ Thanksgiving, and
instead rely on chicken, ham or
even pork/which is dropping in
price.
Friers can be obtained for
from 69 to 75 cents, while hens
are 59 to-69 cents a pound.
Hams are generally .69 cents
per pound, half or whole.
Some merchants reported that
pork was off as much as six cents
a pound.
16,000 Fish Added
To Lake Chaftooga
Through the cooperation of
the State Fish Hatchery and
H. G. Bussey superintendent of
the Summerville Fish hatchery,
an additional 16,000 fish were put
in Lake Chattooga last week
making a total of more than
23.000 bream and bass that the
lake has been stocked with this
Fall, according to W. H. Smith,
President of the Chattooga
County Wilflife and Conservation
Club.
The new lake, located on Wal
ter Sturdivant’s farm, near Boll
ing, which is almost filled and
will cover 17 acres, is one of the
prettiest fishing lakes in the
state. It is one of which every
sportsman in Chattooga County
should be proud, Mr. Smith said.
It is expected that the lake
will be opened to fishing for
bream late next summer, accord
ing to officials to the Wildlife
Club.
An additional stocking of bass
will be made early in the spring
and the waters fertilized for
rapid growth of the fish.
Vets Still Enlist
In Army, Air Force
Veterans are still re-enlisting
in the U. S. Army and Air Force
in substantially the same per
centage as before the Selective
service Act went into effect, ac
cording to a release by the Rome
Recruiting Office.
Os the 48 men enlisting in
October through the Rome Sta
tion, 32% or one-third, were
veterans. This is only slightly be
low the yearly figure of 40%.
The three Chattooga Countians
enlisting last month were; Rob

Hubert H. Cook, Box 283, Sum

Ralph Stanley, who is out with
a badly cut ear.
Playing good defensive ball for
the Indians were Hubert Strick
land and Roy Lee Bagley in the
line and Jimmy Bush, Bobby
Nix and Sewell Cash in the
j secondary.
S’Ville’s offense was under the
! direction of Bobby Bush, quarter
! back, who did a capable job of
i running the team.
Friday night’s game with Trion
jis considered by many as the
j game of the year as both teams
! always fight hard to come out on
top. •
Trion has thus far won four
j games and lost five. The Indians
have won three and lost five,
while tying one. From the stand
point of games won. and lost, the
Bulldogs are favored. They look
ed very impressive in their most
recent win. a 6-0 licking they
handed Calhoun as the Bulldog
line repeatedly stopped Kenneth
Moore, the high-scoring spark
plug of the Calhoun team.
I am making no pre-game pre-
I dictions but on a dry field it will
j undoubtedly be a toss-up, while
i on a muddy field the Bulldogs
will be favored due to their
| heavier line and running attack.
So come on out. to the Trion
! field Friday night at 8 o’clock.
Newspapers Blasted
By Green, o! KKK,
Here Thursday
Newspapers were bitterly crit
icized here Thursday night when
Dr. Samuel Green, Grand Dragon
of the Ku Klux Klan, spoke say
ing that newspapers “misrepre
sent the Klan and Klan princi
ples.’
Dr. Green spoke at the Sum
merville baseball park before ap
proximately 1,000 persons, in
cluding a number of children.
His figure was outlined against
a 12-foot-ra 11 blazing “fiery
cross” and was flanked by 75 or
more robed and hooded Klans
j men.
It has been reported that there
I are more than 125 members of a
newly organized Klavern i n
Chattooga County.
Dr. Green said that the first
; principles of the Klan are to up
hold white supremacy, to pro
i tect the chastity of the home and
womanhood, and to be upright,
law-abiding citizens.
“There will not be found any
whipping parties in the Klan.
1 will personally see that any
member found to be among any
whipping parties is promptly ex
pelled and I will assist in his
prosecution,” he added.
Dr. Green swid that the quali
fications for membership in the
secret organization are the high
est in any other similiar associa
tion and that a member must be
a natural born American and
Protestant. He said that the Klan
is intolerant to everything that
is un-American, and intolerant
to Communism and ism’s of all
kinds “which would destroy the
principles of democracy and the
things for which our forefathers
stood.”

$1.50 A YEAR
r An explanation of the work
i and an appeal for help in the
Christmas Seal Sale was made
by three members of the Chat
tooga County Tuberculosis As
sociation at the regular meeting
. ol the Summerville Lions Club
Tuesday evening at Riegeldale
I Tavern, Trion.
Appearing on the program were
Mrs. Emmett Clarkson, Presi
. dent; Mrs. O. L. Cleckler, Seal
Sale Chairman; and Mrs. B. W
. | Farrar, Rehabiliation Chairman!
Following the discussion, the
. Lions Club passed a resolution
to support the program by sell
ing “bonds.” A goal of SSOO was
: set and these bonds will be dis
s | tributed at the next meeting
, Mrs. Farrar, introduced by Mrs.
Cleckler, told the Lions of actual
, cases helped by the Tuberculo
j sis Association a service made
possible by the purchase of
; Christmas seals by each and
'everyone.
She reminded the Lions of the
; nursery rhyme, “Old Mother
Hubbard,” which they heard as
lads, and pointed out that the
TB Association's “cupboard” was
j just as bare.
Mrs. Farrar told of a Cloud
j lan d boy, who returned home af
ter fighting shock, paralysis and
death in the war, only to find his
wife in a serious condition with
tuberculosis. There were three
children, Mrs. Farrar said the
youngest nine months old, and
| the mother was reluctant to leave
and go to Battey.
The Association assisted in
securing entrance for her at the
| hospital, but then another prob
lem presented itself. Who would
care for the children, while the
father worked? This too has
been solved and the mother is
still at Battey, and improving
Mrs. Farrar said.
She also told of another des

and the purchase of groceries.
Thirty-two families were helped
in 1946 and 17 in 1947.
Mrs. Clarkson brought the
Lions members some of the how,
why and wherefore of tuberculo
: sis in the county.
"There is much need for edu
, cation to combat some of the
• mistaken ideas that have grown
up concerning the tuberculosis,
| the most common one that it is
! inherited,” she said. “People will
! Lave to be taught that they need
not die of tuberculosis just be
! cause their father or mother died
of it.”
Figures showing the death rate
; from tuberculosis are encourag

ed killer has dropped from first
: place to eighth place, but there
is still much work to be done.
