PRETTY SUPPORT FOK INDIANS—
These 11 lovely girls form the cheerlead
ers squad of Chattooga High School and
they’ll be on hand at 8 p.m. Friday to
do their part toward helping the Chat
tooga Indians defeat the Trion Bulldogs.
The classic will be at the Chattooga field.
Jan., ’63
For New
The target date for occupancy of the proposed new
Chattooga High School is January, 1963.
A time schedule leading up to the occupancy was set
Tuesday when the Chattooga Board of Education held its
monthly meeting.
Here is the schedule:
Selection of a site, October 3;
completion by architect of all
preliminary plans, perspectives
and the model, December 1; bond
election, March 1; contract let
ting, May 1; start of construc
tion, June 1; occupancy of school,
Jan. 1, 1963.
The school board will meet
with the Chattooga-Municipal
Commission at 8 o’clock tonight
to discuss possible sites. The
board and architect looked at a
half dozen sites Tuesday and
they invite anyone who knows of
any to notify them at once.
The planning commission is
expected to confer with a pro
fessional planner located in the
Rome office of the Coosa Valley
Planning and Dev e 1 opment
Commission on the site matter.
When it consolidated the
Summerville, Menlo and Lyerly
high schools this year, the school
board announced it would pro
pose a bond issue for the erec
tion of a new high school out
side Summerville.
In another matter which came
up at the September meeting,
the board declined to grant an
other hearing to Ernest S. Sin
clair. who was dismissed as a
teacher at Menlo High last year.
Mr. Sinclair appeared before
the board seeking the hearing
and stating that he had not ap
pealed earlier because he did not
have a copy of the charges made

Judge F. H. Boney Gels Dose
Os (hen Medicine Tuesday
Judge F. H. Boney got a taste of his own 'medicine
Tuesday.
The Chattooga City Court judge had announced
that those returning late from lunch would be fined to
the tune of $1 a minute.
Yes, it happened.
The judge himself was 15 minutes late. Red-faced,
he paid his Sls fine.
The judge had an explanation but no one was lis
tening. It was this: He had to go at lunchtime to Cloud
land to auction a building. Resurfacing of the road to
Menlo was underway and he was held up both going out
and returning.
The genial judge admitted he might be a bit more
understanding in the future when an attorney, juror
or witness turned up late.

High School
Chattooga to
Get Emergency
Hospital
Chattooga County is expected
to soon receive an emergency,
portable hospital for use in the
event of war or natural disas
ter.
Plans for obtaining the 200-
bed hospital were made last Fri
day by county, municipal and
civil defense leaders and a rep
resentative of the State Depart
ment of Public Health.
There will be no cost to the
county although the hospital re
tails for $150,000. It is being
made available as a part of the
civil defense program.
Preliminary plans have been
made to store the hospital at the
Menlo School, County Civil De
fense Director Tom Hogg said
this week. Although a more
centrally located place is desir
able, he said, the Menlo site will
be used until other plans can be
made.
Medicines for the hospital
must be stored in a refrigerated
place, preferably at a hospital
where they can be used before
expiration dates and then re
placed.
The hospital would have to be
set up in a gymnasium or other

No Increase
Seen Now in
School Meals
A cutback in school lunchroom
funds will not immediately af
fect the prices of lunches in the
Chattooga and Trion systems,
superintendents said this week.
Chattooga Supt. James Spence
said he understands the schools
may receive a few more govern
ment commodities this year and
that this should offset the cut
back in funds. Present lunch
prices in the county are 25 cents.
Trion Supt. A. J. Strickland
said that the cutback in his sys
tem will amount to one third—
from a three-cent reimburse
ment on each plate served.
The present rate in Trion is 25
I cents and Supt. Strickland said
he hopes to keep it at that.
However, he said, there may be
some change if this is not eco
। nomically feasible.
Mr. Strickland said his system
also expects to receive some
additional commodities and that

All was not gloom at the meet

Mr. Brown explained that
many lives can be saved during

keys to survival, he said is fall

its own. You cannot expect peo

Mr. Brown said.

develop in detail what he and
his group would do in the event
of war or natural disaster The

Tax Equalization for
Chattooga Gets Nod
Chattooga Gets Nod
Tax equalization in Chattooga County has been given
the go-ahead.
The Board of Tax Assessors last Friday gave the green
light by formally requesting County Commissioner John
Jones to proceed.
This was the first step neces
sary for the county to get a re
appraisal program.
Commissioner Jones said this
week he is ready to proceed and
that his first step will be to ask
the state for a loan for the work.
Although the first grant of
state funds for re-appraisal
work has been exhausted, it is
understood that more money
may be granted for this purpose.
The grants are made on a first
come-first served basis.
The state will lend the money
to counties, interest-free, for a
five-year period.
Action by the Tax Assessors
climaxed months of study and
discussion. They attended a tax
workshop in Rome where experts
from all over the state discussed
