INDIANS HOST TO McHENRY;
TRION GOES TO CALHOUN
BY T. EMMETT NUNN
The Summerville Indians will
open their football season at
8 p. m. Friday against McHen
ry, of Rome.
Brooke Pierce has been put
ting his squad through a rigid
training schedule for the past
few weeks, and a good season
is anticipated.
The Indians’ grid schedule
follows: Sept. 23, LaFayette;
Sept. 30, Lakeview, there; Oct.
7, Carrollton, there; Oct. 14,
Chattanooga Valley; Oct. 21,
Cartersville, there; Oct. 28,
Model; Nov. 4, Lee High; Nov.
11, Sylvania, Ala., there; Trion
(at Summerville).
Sufficient bleachers are being
added to the field to accomo
date 1,200 fans.
With kickoff time at 8 o’clock,
Coach Brooke Pierce is expect
ing his hands full, as the Car
dinals are after revenge for a
13 to 12 setback, the Indians
handled them in a mud battle
last fall.
McHenry has lost their main
offensive threats In Billy Carver
and Gene Lambert, but still ex
pect to have a fair running
game, and not too good a pass
ing threat. Also, they are a week
less on practice, which should
help the S. H. S. cause.
Joe Dacus. Bobby Bush, Gene
Woodall and Bob Pettit, will
probably be Coach Pierce’s
starting offensive backfields,
with paiph Stanley, Billy
Flannagan and Bob Moore the
most experienced on the front
line. Backing up the three most
experienced, Billy Donovits,
Billy Moorehead and two sopho
more ends, Leslie Mathis and
Winford Hardeman round out
what will probably be the start
ing lineup.
Trion’s football ambitions, at
the pinnacle of hope since the
last of the good seasons way
back in ’44 will open the 1949
campaign under the lights of
Calhoun High.
Smiles are very much in or
der, as twelve lettermen with
10 of the 194 c- starting lineup,
probably facing the barrier at
kickoff time.
Besides this host of “T” wear
ers. a better, more experienced,
and larger in numbers group of
youngsters coming up from the
“B” outfit, and midgets give
the regular lineup more com
petition, that should show up
under fire to a good advantage
A possible drawback will be
the change to the “T” forma
tion which will be entirely new
to the boys, due to the change
this fall, but after a few games,
the kinks should straighten,
and a smooth Bulldog machine
begin high class operations.
Calhoun’s '‘Yellowjackets”
however, will have different
ideas for the Blues and will be
out to sting hard in retaliation
for their No. 1 loss of last fall,
that started a different trend
in their schedule, victorious un
til that night.
That was the first time Ken
neth Moore, the State’s leading
scorer for ’4B. was stopped and
those memories are foremast
with the Yellowjackets. Under
new coach. Jerry Tillttski, it
will be a well conditioned squad
as all University of Georgia
products firmly believe in. due
to the Wally Butts’ training.

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1949
EMERGENCY POLIO
DRIVE BEGINS IN
CHATTOOGA COUNTY
Confidence that the entire
community would give whole -
hearted support to the Polio
Epidemic Emergency Drive was
expressed today by A. B. Ham
mond, County Polio Director of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
The Drive, announced by Basil
O'Conner, National Foundation
President is being held as a last ■
resort because “in no other way
can the National Foundation
continue to aid increased num
bers of polio patients without
slowing up scientific research
and professional education,” he
said.
It is the first emergency drive
in the history of the fight
against polio in the United
States.
“All of us are deeply touched
by the pathetic plight of those
afflicted with this cruel disease,”
Mr. Hammond said. “In Georgia
we have seen polio strike, claim
ing 110 of the children and
adults in our own State to date.
We have been alert to the signs
of danger, secure in the protec
tion of March of Dimes funds,
guaranteeing that no one would
be deprived of the best available
medical care for lack of money.
“But today that security is
shaken —by a financial crisis.
The high cost of polio through
out the nation has depleted the
epidemic aid resources of the
National Foundation. But it
hasn’t exhausted the sympathy
and generosity of the American
people. No one of us would con
demn any child to a life of pro
longed suffering —for lack of
money to pay the bills for his
medical treatment and care.
We’ll get the money—and give it,
to help our children walk again.”
Contributions are needed—
quickly, Mr. Hammond empha
sized. We shall try to reach
everyone personally in the short
week alloted for this emergency
drive,” he said.
Money may be sent in enve
lopes addressed to POLIO care
of A. B. Hammond. Berryton.
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
OF AMERICAN
LEGION UNDER WAY
Commander J. W. Argo states
[that the membership drive of
i American Legion Post 129 is in
full swing and that in the first
30 days of the drive, 30 per
I cent has ben gained over the
[total number the Legion had on
roll for 1949. He hopes to have
jat least 500 members by con
| vention time next year, it was
stated.
Commander said he is happy
।to note that a lot of civic-mind
led veterans are joing the Le
gion. and that is what is needed
[to makethis post, the be c t post
in the state.
“We want to grow strong
(enough so that when a call for
help comes we can answer it
immediately.” he said. All vet
etans should belong to some
■ veterans organization. Modesty
, prevents us from saying that
! the Legion Js the best organiza
tion in the w’orld, but we are
[ the largest. We have the great
est voice that has ever been
heard in Washington. When our
representatives sneak. they
speak for 3000.000 veterans.”
The Legion is working at all
i times to make and keep this
country a great and free na
♦ion. the local commander con
tinued. urging all veterans to
join he American Legion Now
and do their part in this great
work.
An open invitation is extend
ed to all eligible veterans to
join the American Legion.
