HOW TO
GREASE YOUR
OWN CAR
First
Put on your dirtiest
clothes so you can crawl
under your car.
Second
Buy a supply of transmis
sion, differential, univer
sal joint, water pump and
pressure grease, a grease
gun and a spray gun. Also
some penetrating oil and
No. 40 oil.
Third
Equip yourself with lots
of strong words such as
"Darn” and “Oh, Hang,”
and the like to use on the
joints where the grease
doesn’t want to come
through. Keep using these
words until the grease
comes out on the other
side.
Fourth
Buy yourself a complete
set of wrenches to use on
the containers that must
be opened to inspect the
lubricating supply inside.
Also some new skin to
graft on your knuckles
when the wrench slips.
Fifth
Fill your spray gun with
penetrating oil to spray
on the springs. Be sure
not to breathe for about
10 minutes while spraying
the springs or you may
oilplate the inside of your
lungs, which is bad.
Sixth
Be sure not to miss any
place that should be lub
ricated as it may cost the
price of twenty grease jobs
for repairs.
OR
... if this seems like
to much trouble and ex
pense, drive your car in
here. We can assure you,
if you get our “Guaranteed
Lubrication” — you just
won’t try that home job
again.

SUMMERVILLE LOSES
ON LATE TRION
RALLY, 12-6
BY T. EMMETT NUNN
The 1949 football season
winged its way into history, but
not into oblivion as the spirited
Red and White Warriors of
Coach Brooke Pierce and Gar
land Pinholster carved again for
themselves a place of remem
brance and reverence in the
hearts of the homefolks.
For the third time in as many
years a hard fought battle left
physical marks that will soon
fade out, but the marks and
memories are there and the tra
ditional Trion-Summerville bat
tles still hold the significance
for our folks as any of the
classical big time struggles.
For three quarters the In
| dians matched first down for
I first down with the hepped Bull
idog favorites and then tied up
) the 6 all count with a fourth
j period score that almost was
enough. Trion’s Big Blue, how
ever, mustered a last big push
iin the last three minutes to
'break the deadlock and roll to
their ninth win in 10 starts for
, the year.
Somewhat visibly handicapped
by the injuries to Dacus and
Mathis, the Indians still fought
back and when Trion was hurt
jby losing Lee and Young early,
the battle evened more and the
fans collected a fine evening of
; football.
For both teams, there .were
outstanding players as there are
in all games; but more outstand
ing was the team efforts as pre
diction both ways put the two
down in even battle.
For the Indians, Bobby Nix,
Buck Helton, and Ralph Stanley
pushed their bids for long rec
ognition in minds of fans as did
Joe Dacus with the game efforts
although shackled severely.
For Trion, William “Bleb”
Sams, was the hardest rock in
a tough Bulldog line that was
only dentable on occasions. Red
Green, the little scooter half
back for the Blues, tallied both
I the Trion pointers, with Larry
Bohannon doing the Trion
heavywork in the absence of the
(hurt Lee.
All the way through, hard
tackling and blocks that stick
:saw boys on both teams helped
up and off the field regularly,
as asking no quarter and giving
none was the evening’s rule.
Both Nix and Dacus took hurt
after hurt but always came back
and rammed with everything
they could muster as pay dirt
was their only reward. Helton
and Stanley, dealing out double
amounts of misery, knocked
themselves out on occasions with
driving stops that echoed leather
and all the rest chimed in with
a full night’s work.
From the starters on, every
one did his part and now all
that’s left is to wear an award
’ S” with pride.
The coaches come in for the
share as Coach Pierce and Pin
holster had their boys physical
ly and mentally ready and pro
vided the tools to push the show.
Summerville, in these two. have
the finest in leaders and teach
ers and will continue to do well
by backing them all the way.
Statistics Close
In the figures, a comparative
closeness, same as the scores,
would give anyone a clear cut
picture of the classic. Summer
ville had 12 first downs with
Trion having the same. SHS
rolled in every quarter with the
last period drive being the best
with four, and Bobby Bush trav
eling the last yard for a six
pointer. There were three in the
first, two in the second, and
three in the third .
Trion had two in the first five
in the second period and six
points as Red Green moved the
last five yards and Trion’s first
score. No first downs for Trion
in the third period, but five con
centrated chain movers in the
fourth pushed Green over again
with seconds left in the game
for the win margin.
Trion tried 10 passes, com
pleted five as Malcolm Nelson
fired to Hankins, McGraw and
Lee. Summerville intercepted
two with one interception by
Woodall at the SHS one yard
line, stopped a Trion possible
scoring drive:
Bobby Bush and Dacus, both
throwing, tried eleven aerials,
completed three and each had
i one intercepted.
Summerville kicked five times
with two good for 34 yards each
and one for 43, one for 37 and
another for 29.
Trion kicked six times with
two almost or slightly blocked
that went for 16 and 14 yards
while others went 32 and 40
yards, 31 and 23 yards.
In yardage Trion had the
j greater total but in the third
period Summerville out rushed
by 47 to 13 yeards.
In all, Trion gained 232 yards,
Summerville 160.
Over a period, the difference
between the teams in scoring is
I quite close and for the three
year period just concluded, it is
I doubtful if many classics can
equal the Trion - Summerville
game.
In 1947, it was a 6-6 tie. In
1948, the score was Trion 7-6 and
now 1949, the small 12 to 6 for
7 points difference over a three
iyear span.
For closer, more evenly
j matched teams, we remain open
i for comparison.

BERRYTON SCHOOL OFFERS
MUCH TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
< . . ‘ ' '' ' '■ . -J
V
THE NEW BERRYTON SCHOOL—Hard work and pa
tience has made this school one of the best in the
county, located in a nice remodeled building.
By Helen Buffington
The folks down Berryton way
can now speak with pride about
i their school. And they do.
Not so before.
It was as good a school as was
: possible with the equipment and
buildings available, but these
circumstances prevented the
teachers from doing the things
they so earnestly desired to do.
These circumstances also did lit
tle to encourage the children
to attend; and what parent
could be blamed from forcing his
child to sit in a dreary, in
adequately heated building day
| after day?
An old, hard to heat church
building near the creek was Miss
Mamie Smith’s first grade school
I hoom. There was only one stove,
that the pot-bellied variety, for
I the building. The rest of the
{students, second through
(seventh grades, met at the regu
lar school building, which also
was hard to heat and had few
I facilities.
But Chattooga Countians
voted for the issuance of school
bonds and SB,OOO was made
available to the Berryton School
for improvements.
They have been tremendous,
as any person who was acquaint
ed with the situation previously
can point out.
Two of the four rooms were
made larger and the windows
were placed more effectively.
All the rooms were painted,
using the modern method of
painting one side white and the
other pastel to provide better
( and scientific lighting. Instead
lof the old-time blackboards,
green ones are now used at Ber
: ryton.
Mrs. B. E. Neal, who is princi
pal and who teaches the second
। and third grades, has the desks
in her north wing room placed
diagonally, to prevent a glare
from the windows.
Greal Helps
Perhaps the three most notic
able improvements are the in
stallation of a hot air furnace,
rest rooms, and the addition of
brick veneer to the side of the
building.
The yards also have been im
proved and cleaned but some
work remains to be done along
this line.
The entrance to the school is
one that beckons and issues a
warm invitation to passers-by. A
sunny, canary yellow brightens
the walls of the entrance hall.
Doors lead to the left aud to the
right into classrooms. The wall
which stares you in the face as
i you go up the steps is not a cold
one. A bold, striking painting
immediately arrests your atten
tion. Flowers and pot plants also
add their touch to the scene.
In this hall are the drinking
fountains which are one of the
few things that could readily be
improved. The younger children
are unable to reach the make
shift fountains without the use
of a chair and the entire set-up
detracts from the looks of the
building.
Teachers Interested
Remarkable and gratifying Is
the energy and Interest mani
fested by the four teachers of
the little school. They have ex
pended every effort to make
theirs one of the finest little
schools In the country. They not
only work with the children but
| they work with the parents and
visit in the homes. Every home
home has been visited. Mrs. Neal
reports.
The result is shown in the fact
that the Berryton School had
the highest attendance percent
age last year In *he county. ThU
was true despite the fact that
the conditions at the school were
most unfavorable, with the con
struction and Improvements be
ing made during school hours.
According to Mrs. Neal, there
tsn’t a child anywhere In the
community who isn’t in school.
Such activities as the 4-H
Club, the educational radio pro
grams, record players, play
ground equipment, modeling
. with clay and paper machet. and
painting encourage interest' in
the school.
Miss Smith’s 30 members of the
first grade work at a big table,
and find pleasure in working
with water colors.
She began teaching at the
Berry ton School in 1925, but has
not taught there continuously
since.
Mrs. Neal, a teacher in Chat
tooga County Schools for 30
years, has taught at Berryton
for the past 10 years. She now
teaches 28 pupils in addition to
her duties as principal.
This is Mrs. Jack Cash’s first
year at Berryton, but the other
teachers are enthused by her
display of interest in the af
fairs of the school. She teaches
the fourth and fifth grades.
Mrs. S. E. Allen smilingly
tutors her 21 sixth and seventh
graders and specializes in help
ing them get a practical view of
life through their lessons. This
is her sixth year of teaching at
Berryton. Using maps, globes,
puppets and various other meth
ods she deftly guides them to
ward their high school years.
Most of the students do con
tinue their education after they
leave Berryton by going to high
school. The percentage has
gradually climbed upward dur
ing recent years.
The students at Berryton
learn how and like to do things
with their hands. Not only do
do they do wood-carving and
painting, but they make articles
like book-ends and tables. Most
attractive were book-ends made
of bricks which had been paint
ed.
A 30-minute recreation period
draws to a close each day’s ac
tivities at the school. A variety
of activities is planned by the
teachers cooperatively for this
period.
Good library
The pride of not only the
teachers, but also of the students
Is the 475-book library. Not hav
ing bookshelves in the rooms,
the groups used their initiative
and made bookcases for their
books from apnle boxes. The
school receives 14 magazines,
five of which are professional
children’s magazines.
Last year, 40 members of the
Berryton 4-H Club carried out
projects. Betty Jean Vaughn
went io far as to win the Dis
trict Bread Making Contest. Mrs.
Neal is a county 4-H advisor,
while Mrs. Aller and Miss Smith
are school advisors.
The school has no lunch room,
however, a majority of the stu
dents live in the Berryton mill
village and can go home for
lunch. The rest bring their
lunches. In Miss Smith’s room a
special box has been made to
keep them in.
In Mrs. Cash’s room, soft
drinks, candy, potato chips and
crackers are sold. Her hoom also
houses a neat little first aid cab
inet, which has been seldom
needed.
The public health nurse visits
the school and has given immu
nization shots to the children.
‘Auditorium’
Slide doors between Mrs. Cash
and Mrs. Allen's rooms are push
ed back for the chapel progams
which are held at frequent In
tervals In the school.
While much remains to be
done, it Is clearly evident that
I the work which has been done
has gone far in providing en
lightenment and making it
more encouraging for the chil
dren in Berryton to go to school.
With the Improvements come
the announcement that the 4-H
Club of Berryton plans to use
the old church building, which
was formerly the first grade
class room, as a community rec
reational building. De fln it e
plans have not been made, but
with the 4-H Club sponsoring
the project, residents of the
[community feel that something
fine is sure to come of the plans.
ACCIDENTS
The cost of accidents in the
United States last year is esti
mated at $7,400,000,000.
