Slightly over seven inches of
rain fell in Chattooga County

to be evacuated Tuesday morn
ing. Bridges were washed out in
several places over the county,
and fields and gardens were
flooded.
Tornado warnings were out in
this area Monday night, but the I

electrical storms. Nearly four
inches of rain fell Monday and
Monday night.
The showers started Saturday
and continued with little let-up
through Monday night. At 8
a.m. Sunday, .67 of an inch had
fallen. But 2.65 inches fell be
tween that time and 8 a.m.
Monday and 3.88 inches fell

$3,600 Given
During April
Cancer Crusade
The Cancer Crusade in Chat
tooga County will near $3,600,
Mrs. Marlin Payne, chairman,
announced this week.
The goal was $4,559.
Some S3OO of the total was :
collected by the Christian Youth
League in residential solicita
tions. Members of Mrs. Payne’s
committee handled the other
phases and the Trion Combined
Charities Fund made a contri- :
button of $2,300. Ira Pollard Jr. I
handled the colored phase of
the drive.
The Summerville Woman’s =
Club sponsored the overall j
drive, which was conducted .
throughout the month of April, i
As the drive ended, Mrs. j
Payne thanked all those who |
assisted.
“As the crusade is drawing to |
a close, I would like to thank
each person who has worked
with the program, and each
who has contributed in any
way,” she said.
“However, this does not mean
that support is not needed
throughout the year. Our quota
of $4,559 has not been reached.
And contributions may be given
anytime.”
Distribution of literature on
cancer was a vital part of the
month-long effort. The litera
ture stressed the fact that can
cer can be cured if it is dis
covered early enough and that
there are seven danger signals.

Chattooga Aid Asked
For Rome Jr. College
Chattooga County was asked Wednesday to lend moral
support to the establishment of a state junior college in
Rome.
Since Chattooga cannot qualify for the college itself,
the most accessible place to the county is Rome, members
of Summerville-Trion Rotary
Club were told.
J. D. Maddox, of Home, who is
working with a committee on
the project, said endorsements
by Chattooga County civic
groups, municipalities and the
county commissioner would be
helpful. Community interest is
important, he said.
Others from Rome speaking
on the matter at the Rotary
Club were James Scarborough
and Dr. Charles Williams.
Here are some of the points
they brought out:
Two junior colleges are to be
established in the Seventh Dis
trict.
They will be of the “commu
nity” type with no boarding
facilities.
The cost per student would be
SSO or S6O a quarter.
The county in which the col
lege is located must have 550
students graduating yearly and
there must be at least 800 grad
uating annually within a 30-air
mile radium. (The former is one

SUBSCRIPTION RATE LOWERED — Persons living
outside Chattooga County but within a 25 mile radius
of Summerville (circled area above) may now sub
scribe to The Summerville News for only $2.06 —the
same rate at that inside Chattooga County. The pre
vious rate for all outside the county was $3.09. This rate
will continue to apply to all areas outside the 25-mile
radius. Publisher-Editor D. T. Espy said the new rate
was established because areas in lower Walker County,
eastern DeKalb and Cherokee and northern Floyd are
within this trade area.

factor which would eliminate
Chattooga County).
The community in which the
college is located must provide
a tract of land of at least 100
acres in or near a city, with all
utilities available. The commu
nity must also provide the
money for buildings. Total cost
should be about sl>4 million.
The state will operate the col
lege.
There is speculation that the
other Seventh District junior
college will be located in Dalton.
Cartersville and Marietta have
expressed an interest in getting
one of the colleges but Marietta
is now about to establish a city
college of its own.
If one college were located in
Rome and other in Dalton,
then both sides of the district
would be served.
There is diversity of opinion
about how such a college would
affect Shorter and Berry Col
leges. But many people feel that

Lyerly Won’t
Help Pay for
CD Program
The Town of Lyerly will not
make any contribution toward
establishment of a civil defense
program, Mayor W. T. Greer in
formed County Commissioner
John Jones this week.
Mr. Greer said he had con
ferred with various councilmen
and town leaders and that was
their feeling about the matter.
In the meantime, Menlo
Mayor J. P. Smith had stated
that although Menlo has no
funds for such an expenditure,
he believes that at least a nomi
nal fee may be raised to aid in
the establishment of the pro
gram.
Mr. Jones went to Menlo
Tuesday and conferred with
Mayor Smith on the matter.
The commissioner said last
week he hopes he, the mayors,
CD and director Luther Smith
can get together in the near
future and work out the final
details which are largely finan
cial.
In the meantime, it has been
learned that Summerville Mayor
J. R. Dowdy has instructed CD
Director Smith to go ahead and
submit the Summerville papers
on federal reimbursement with
out waiting on the proposed
city-county CD program. There
is a May 15 deadline if a CD
unit is to receive federal funds
as reimbursement of half the
expenditures on the program.

Studies CHS Today
A visiting group of educators is in Summerville today
for the purpose of evaluating the Chattooga High School.
They will give a report at 3 30 p.m. today at the school.
The public is invited.
The group, headed by Dr. Morrill Hall, associate pro-

The visit climaxes a year-long

required every five years by the
Southern Association of Second
ary Schools and Colleges in
connection with accreditation.
Chattooga High is accredited.
The self-study by the faculty,
which was done in extra work
without extra pay, has been
compiled into a booklet. It
mentions the weaknesses and
strengths of the school, as the
teachers see them.
