Tuberculin skin tests are now required of
children entering the first grade in Chat
tooga County schools.
11 the test turns out positive, the child is
then given a chest X ray to see whether he
has active tuberculosis.
This policy was adopted by the Chat
tooga Board ol Education upon the recom
mendation of the Chattooga TB Committee.
This is just one of the worthwhile projects
of the TB Commit tec over the years. The
Committee ahpost folded last, year because
of lack of leadership but once the public
learned of the plight of the organization the
response was wonderful. Several interested
Let's Not H asle Revaluation
A finance expert at the University of
Georgia predicts that property revaluation
will ultimately be required bv law in Geor
gia.
This probably should have been done in
the first place but probably wasn’t because
the legislature didn't want this “hot po
tato." Nevertheless, forward-looking, cour
ageous counties like Chattooga have pro

persons volunteered their services and this
vitally important committee was retained.
Since TB is such a health problem in our
county (we have one of the highest rates in
the state) we definitely need the services of
a TB-combatting group.
Now comes a time when Mr. and Mrs. Av
erage Chattooga Countian can help. Not
all of us can serve on the TB Committee or
assist with the tuberculin skin testing at
the schools or assist needy TB patients. But
all of us can give something to aid the TB
Committee financially. We can do this by
buying Christmas seals.
But we must be careful in the future. As
the finance expert at the University said, if
the board of tax assessors later adjusts
downward the new values, the effort and
expenditure involved will be largely wasted.
We must keep the new tax records cur
rent and we must keep the evaluations in
ratio. No one should pay more than his
fair share but then we should be sure that
no one pays less than his fair share.
slon is enforced is typical Rus
sian bullying. They want to
revise the rules of the game so
as to favor them at every op- I
portunity If they want to get!
out of the U. N. then they'
should be allowed to go. Indeed |
it wouldn't hurt if any other
dozen or so pro-communist or
neutralist nations packed up
their bags, sold their fancy
mansions on Long Island

Then the U. N might become
what many people hoped it
would be in the beginning- a
meeting place for the genuinely
free, anti-communist nations!
of the world.
One encouraging sign from
the U 8. government was the
action November 9th by which
the United States, as an indica
tion of its intentions, an
nounced it would not pledge to
contribute this year to the U. N
Special Fund and Technical
Assistance Program. The U. S
contributions, normally 40 per
cent of the total, would have
been about S6O million for the
new year.
It should be remembered that
the U N Special Fund, headed
by the ultra-liberal American.
Paul Hoffman, is the agency I
that channeled U S taxpayer-!
supplied funds to Castro’s Cuba |
over the protests of great num-1
bers of American citizens.
The Los Angeles Times, com
menting on this action, said
' The goose that lays the golden

quoted as saying it appeared
that the car driven by the youth

Mrs. Estes died in the emer

15 minutes after her arrival. Mr
Estes was treated for chest and

INFORMATION has it that
Summerville is “blooming” out
in a big way with the beginning
of the holiday season. Frankly,
it is always good to see a city,
town and/or even a village
really “act like” it’s Christmas
season—yeah, there’s lots of
things, groups and individuals
can do to reflect the true
Christmas, and as a rule too
many of us fail to do anything.
Right?
HEADLINES—T alk e d re
cently to a group in one of
Georgia’s rather small towns.
The subject was “Education.”
I The following Thursday, the
howe town weekly gave a very
fine report of the meeting on
the front page—with headlines,
"Forester Shows Need for Edu
cation”—('Course you can in
terpret it two ways, but I no
doubt showed the need one way
or the other, which, at least af
fords some consolation.)
QUOTABLE— "My hands do
the work of the world. They up
hold the temple of industry and
make clean the market place.”
MY PASTOR SAYS—There's
a heap of difference between
people in an organization all
working together, and all of
them just working at the same
i time.
MY PASTOR says—" None of |
1 us knows the heartaches, the,
: sorrows or the burdens of the;
person seated in front of us or |
behind us. That person has en- j
tered the sanctuary to find
help from God, and your assis- |
tance by a spirit of prayer and
reverence and by refraining |
from conversation will be of
aid. If you have to whisper. |
whisper a prayer." (Good and
timely advice.)
A FRIEND from the hills
sends word that there are very
good crops of goobers, “sim
mems”, “taters”, hickory nuts,
walnuts and turnips. (Come to
think about it, what else would
a fellow want—might add that
it has already been established
that this is a “squirrel year”—
So, might cook up a pot of
squirrel stew occasionally.

Countians Asked to Aid
Needv School Children
A drive to collect used or new clothing for unfortunate
Chattooga County children will soon get underway.
A central storing place is now being sought, Graves Myers,
chairman of a sub-committee working on the project, says. As
soon as a location is secured, an announcement will be made.
Pick-up service is being planned, said Mr. Myers.
This is another part of the program of the newly-organized
Chattooga County Advisory Committee on Children and Youth,
which met Monday night.
Mr. Myers said his sub-committee is working diligently on
the project.
In addition, work is moving ahead on providing hot lunches
for all county children, reported the Rev. Mack Driver, chair
man of the sub-committee responsible for this particular proj
ect.
The Rev. Mr. Driver said letters have been sent all churches
asking that they “adopt” one or more children at $5 per month.
Although all the schools (and some civic groups) already
provide many free lunches, there are still some 36 children who
need lunches but can’t get them, a survey done by School Supt.
James Spence showed.
It is hoped that 36 churches, clubs or individuals will each
adopt a child and supply the $5 a month necessary to buy him
a hot lunch at school. Officials state this is often the best meal
of the day for many students. Any group wishing to adopt a
child may contact the Rev. Mr. Driver or make the check pay
able to the Chattooga Board of Education and send it to the
school superintendent’s office, specifying what it is for.

Discussing the proposed
abolishment of the City Court,
Loggins said that if the addition
of the second Superior Court
judge to the Circuit “works out
the way we hope it will” he
might favor the abolishment but
added that if it didn’t he
wouldn’t favor it. Loggins said
he meant by that that if the
extra judge can handle the work
load with ease.
Trion City
Limit Change
Eyed By Sen.
Residents of “Dickeyville”
may get a chance to become a
part of the Town of Trion next
year.
State Sen. Joseph E. Loggins
said this week he is considering
the introduction of legislation to
incorporate that area, south of
Trion, into the town, provided
the people approve it in a ref
erendum.
State Rep. James H. Floyd,
who lives in Trion, said he would
go along with the proposal.
“It has been my long-time pol
icy that the only way I would
agree to put areas into munici
palities is with a referendum,”
said Floyd, “and if the senator’s
proposal has a referendum pro
vision I’ll go along with it.”
Loggins said he hasn’t firmly
decided on the matter and has
not outlined any proposed boun
daries. However, he said he has
in mind a southern boundary
near the A & W Drive In.
