MANY LOCAL EVENTS ARRANGED FOR FOURT
By Quimby Meltoi
GAINESVILLE, July 3—This
north Georgia city is certainly
taking care of the large num
ber of Legionnaires and mem
bers of the Auxiliary, who are
here attending the state con
vention. With Ed Dunlap
heading the committee on ar
rangements nothing has been
left undone that will make our
stay here enjoyable.
Griffin could get some good
dots from Gainesville on how
to handle a crowd. And Grif
fin is going to have SOME
CROWD on July 16 when we
celebrate our 90th Birthday
* —
Griffin and Gainesville have
many things in common.
In both the textile industry
plays an important part.
In both cities Southern cul
ture and hospitality are genu
ine.
Both cities have excellent
public schools. Gainesville has
it on Griffin in this respect hav
ing Brenau College and River
side Military Academy in addi
tion to the grammar and high
schools. But Griffin’s common
schools rank with Gainesville's
excellent schools.
—1 & —
Gainesville has many beauti
ful homes and shade trees just
as Griffin has.
Gainesville and Griffin both
have many miles of paved high
ways leading to them ' from
neighboring cities and both are
trading centers for a large area.
Gainesville and Griffin both
have wide awake merchants
with good stores and good stocks
of goods. ’
We could go on forever com
paring the two cities. Not only
do the names of the two start
with “G" but both are good old
fashioned Georgia cities which
while they honor the memories
of the past, are wide awake
enough to forge ajiead with
modern times.
— * —
Griffin folks will be glad to
know that Mrs, Trams, Griffins
candidate for president of the
Auxiliary of the state, is gaining
in strength and that her elec
tion looks certain Mrs. W. E.
H. Searcy, Jr„ and Mrs. Harry
Johnson are looking after her
campaign and are lining up
votes for her, Here’s hoping
this Griffin woman Is honored
with this irr^iortant post.
* _
Lost night, it was our pleasure
to make a short talk at the
banquet tendered by the Gaines
ville Chamber of Commerce.
We extended an invitation to
Gainesville people to visit Grif
fin on July 16. Already several
Gainesville folks have told us
that they will be on hand. That's
fine. We'll show them how
Griffin can entertain-visitors.
—i * 1 - —
Tomorrow’s The Glorious
Fourth. That's not news to
anyone but It does give us an
excuse to plead with everyone
to be careful. Don't take
chances with fire crackers.
Don't take chances on the road.
Don't take chances at the swim
ming pool. Don't eat too much.
Let's see If Griffin can't have
a Glorious Fourth without any
mishaps.
