S VILLE LOSES IN
EFFORT TO OUST
GA. POWER CO.
The City of Summerville lost
another effort to oust the Geor
gia Power Company from the
city May 18.
Fulton Superior Court Judge
Bond Almand ruled in favor of
the Company on a petition
brought by the city seeking to
have the power company de
clared a trespasser.
Summerville, which is trying
to gain municipal ownership of
the power distribution system
alleged the power company a
trespasser on the grounds that
its franchise, granted in 1924
was invalid
The city alleged the franchise
t<> be void because It was grant
ed by city council without prop
er compliance with advertising
requirements.
Judge Almand declared that
the city, under lUs charter, had
express right to grant the fran
chise to a public utility for "the
use of Its streets in the erection
of electric light poles."
Judge Almand ruled that an
additional reason why the city
cannot question the company's
occupancy of Its steets, was that
the city and Its officers stood by;

"HONOR THE DEAD"
PLEADS LOCAL VFW
Chattooga Countians will be
asked to ‘.‘honor the dead by
helping the living” Saturday.
That is the day VFW Buddy
Poppies go on sale throughout
the county, R. C. Hardeman and
Glee Bryant, co-chairmen, re
ported this week.
These poppies are made by
veterans in Georgia veteran hos
pitals, and in addition to being
paid for making the symbolic
flower, five per cent of the sales
from the county will be return
ed to these veterans. It was
pointed out that many of the
veterans have no income whatso
ever and use this as a means of
making money for cigarettes,
and other incidentals. Veterans
admitted with non-service con
nected disabilities do not receive
any conpensaiton.
Ninety-five percent of the
sales remain in the county in the
VFW relief fund, from which
veterans and their families in
this county are given aid when
needed.
The poppies will be sold by
Boy and Girls Scouts as well as
other volunteers.

COUNTY HOSPITAL
There are a great many
things to consider before you
cast your vote on May 28 for
or against hospital bonds.
Those against the measure
will point to the increase in
taxes which passage would
necessitate; they will point out
the possibility of the hospital
becoming what is known as a
“political football.”
But they will agree we need
a hospital.
Among those in favor of the
measure will be some who re
member seeing death stalk in
to their household because
adequate hospital care was not
available in time. Others who
have not had this experience
will want a hospital as a pro
tection against this unwelcome
guest, and they will think not
only of themselves but also of
their friends and relatives.
This latter group will be
aware that taxes will be rais
ed, and they’ll be aware that
in some instances county hos
pitals have become involved
with politics; but they’ll bend
their backs a little lower to
take on the tax increase,
knowing that they are invest
ing in their future. And they’ll
take a chance that the hospi
tal will remain in capable
hands and be handled effi
ciently. What these people are
interested in is the health of
the community and they’re
willing to stake everything on
it.
Which group will you be in?

HEALTH DEPT.
DISCUSSES FOODS
ON BROADCAST
In it’s weekly readio broadcast
Tuesday afternoon the Chat
tooga County Health Depart
ment presented Miss Wilma
Pace, county health nurse, and
Mrs. Margaret H. Mathews, Reg
ional Nutrition Consultant, of
Rome, in a discussion of the Bas
ic Seven groups of foods.
Pointing out that good health
was the result of good foods, the
program was designed to show
which are the right foods to
eat, how to plan meals that con
tain these foods, to buy wisely
arid proper preparation.
The first step in food prepara
tion is to plan ahead—a week
at a time—giving thought and
care in the selection of family
food needs. Good food is not ex
pensive food. The Basic Seven
groups of foods include green
and yellow vegetables, oranges,
grapefruit, tomatoes and raw
leafy vegetables, potatoes and
other vegetable^ and fruit, milk
and milk products, lean meat,
chicken, fish and other protein
foods, bread and other cereal
products and butter and marga
rine.
From the basic groups well
rounded meals can be prepared
daily. By knowing which are the
protein foods and the daily re
quirements of each member of
each member of the family for
this food, the family shopper
can by thought and care know
exactly just how much lean
meat, fish cheese or other pro
tein foods to buy for her family.
Not only will she assure her
family of their daily needs but,
will make the family budget for
food go further.
Laying stress on the need of
the body for protein foods it was
pointed out in the -discussion
that during the war prisoners
suffered more from lack of pro
tein foods than any other and
that it is the shortage of these
foods today in Europe and Asia
that is causing such a serious
health prolem. It w T as further
revealed that the lack of the
proper amounts of protein foods
was a contributing cause in the
large number of school children
being overage for their grades.
These children do not feel well
। enough to do good school work.
A properly well-fed body and
an alert mind go hand-in-hand.
The Chattooga County Health
Department has a weekly broad
cast on some phase of the coun-
Ity’s health problems. The pro
gram is heard at 2 p. m. each
Tuesday.
