Tuesday, June Bth, will be a
day long remembered by many.
On that day some 6,250 voted in
the dual bond referendum. This
was 44 percent of the 14,200
registered voters, and was a
larger percentage than usual.
They day will be remembered
as the one that launched an ex
pansion program of water lines
into the county. The voters
approved this by a margin of
301. Junior College bonds were
defeated by a two to one ratio.
There are some who will also
remember that day. They are
members of the Exchange Club
of Griffin who found time elec
tion day to attend the noon
meeting. They will remember it
because of a very attractive
young lady who “pinch hit" for
the man who was scheduled to
speak. And if ever a pinch hitter
“came through”, it was she.
Capt. Gary Cook, Salvation
Army, was program chairman.
A Missionary from Korea was
to speak. But sickness kept him
from coming to Griffin. Instead
Capt. Cook brought Capt. Judy
Moore, a most attractive Salva
tion Army “lassie.”
Judy Moore, along with
others among the younger
Salvation Army folk, have’ been
greatly concerned about the
young people who have turned
Atlanta’s Tenth Street area into
what has become known as
“hippie territory.” Capt. Moore
has been especially interested
in young girls who run away
from home and turn up there.
Judy Moore won the attention
of her audience with her very
first statement. Declaring that
she was not a professional
psychiatrist she said her
group did not know “what to
do” when they tackled the pro
blem, and that they still did not
know the “answer”, but that
they were working in faith and
in hope that what they were do
ing and what they would do
might help young girls who are
desperate when they run away
looking for an “answer”.
One could not help but be im
pressed with the sincerity of
Judy Moore. As a matter of fact
if that audience of business and
professional men were not
“hypnotised” by her sincerity
and by her soft clear voice, as
she told of things that had
happened and were happening
every day, one would not be
painting a good picture of that
meeting Tuesday.
Good Evening would like to
pass on two things Capt. Judy
Moore said to Exchange.
It took her sometime, she
said, to convince the young
people that she was sincere,
that she wanted to help because
she loved them, and that she
was not a professional “do
gooder.” She told of how one
night, sitting in her uniform on
the steps at Piedmont Park,
watching a gathering of young
people, something caused a
young girl to sit beside her and
when Judy put her arm around
the crying girl and whispered “I
love vou” that opened the door
for the young girl to “toler
ate” her if not “accept her.”
Then die told how often a run
away girl would tell her, after
she had gained her confidence,
“I wish my parents felt about
me as you do. I’m hungry to
have father or mother take me
in their arms and whisper to
me, and mean it, “I love you.”
“I know”, the young girl
would continue, “they think
they love me. They provide for
me, they give me an allowance
and all that, but do they really
love me? Uusually all I get is a
quick kiss on the cheek and here
they go, to work or play and I’m
left to wonder.”
Judy Moore has that ability to
“love”, truly love even the most
unfortunate girl whom she
takes into her arms.
Wish everyone could hear this
dedicated, sincere and attrac
tive young Salvation Army
worker.

Henry plans celebration
Henry County will observe its 150th
birthday with a nine-day Sesquicentennial
celebration, starting Aug. 19 and
continuing through Aug. 28.
The general chairman, Cary Hall, along
with Chamber of Commerce President
Tom Burdeshaw, have been largely
responsible for planning. They said the
program will include a showing of an
original historical pageant for nine nights,
outdoor church observances, Children’s
Day, Ladies’ Day, Pioneer and
Homecoming Day, Industrial Day,
Fireman’s Day, Youth Day, and American
Heritage Day.
There will be parades, historical
displays, special retail sales events,
nightly fireworks, rides, and “then and
now” windows, and much, much, more.
Enthusiasm is building for this
celebration as at least a dozen beards and
several early-19th century long dresses
are in evidence.
Henry County, an original county, was
formed from land acquired by a treaty
with the Creek Indians. It was signed by
Chief William Mclntosh at Indian Springs,
on Jan. 8, 1821.
Clete
fined
for bet
NEW YORK (UPl)—Clete
Boyer, Atlanta’s recently re
leased third baseman, was
fined SI,OOO by Baseball Com
missioner Bowie Kuhn today
for admitting he bet on football
games during 1968 and 1969.
Kuhn’s action was the first
taken against a major leaguer
for betting since he suspended
Denny McLain on Feb. 19,1970
for gambling and being in
volved in bookmaking activities.
Boyer, 34, asked for and was
given his unconditional release
by Atlanta a week ago as the
outgrowth of a newspaper story
in which he was harshly critical
of Paul Richards, the Braves’
vice president of baseball
operations, and Lum Harris,
the Braves’ manager.
Technically, Boyer is a free
agent now and that ostensibly
would place him out of Kuhn’s
jurisdiction except that Boyer
has had “three or four offers”
from major league clubs,
admittedly is anxious to sign
with one of them, but
discovered he couldn’t until his
status was settled. Presumably,
today’s action by Kuhn clears
the way for Boyer to sign with
another club as soon as he pays
the fine.
The Oakland A’s were inter
ested in Boyer as soon as he
was given his release from the
Braves. Boyer said Charlie Fin
ley, the A’s owner, had called
him twice and said he was
anxious to have him. Later,
however, when Boyer called
back, he said he found Finley
“cold.”

Sadat warns U.S.
By United Press International
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat bitterly attacked the
United States today and ac
cused it of participating in
Israeli occupation of Arab land.
He said the United States has
become a partner in Israel’s
aggression against the Arab
world.
Sadat’s speech came shortly
after official Israeli sources in
Tel Aviv raised the possibility
of an unbreakable impasse over
efforts to reopen the Suez
Canal. There were reports
Israel would harden its stance
in view of the fact Egypt was
not wavering in its position.
Sadat was speaking to the
nation in a radio and television
broadcast from Cairo and the
text of the speech was carried
in advance by the Middle East
News Agency.
“The continued American
military and financial support

Parts of Henry were taken in the

In commemoration of the
sesquicentennial, the county historian,
Mrs. R. A. Rainer, Sr., has written a book
tracing the county’s history. It is being
published and will include copies of

came through with his matches.”
The basic shcedule will begin Thursday,
Aug. 19, with an old fashioned bargain
days sale at stores throughout the county

drastically reduced prices. Bargain days

Saturday, Aug. 21, Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge will address a luncheon. His
speech will be followed by a mile-long
parade. That evening, the first of the

October. Political sources said
the attack on American Middle
East policy reflected Sadat’s
pessimism over the American
political effort to reach a
peaceful settlement.
Cairo’s semiofficial newspa

that war will be inevitable
unless a peaceful solution to the
Middle East crisis is found this
year.
Predictions of a stiffening of
the Israeli policy dominated the
Israeli press today in reaction
to Prime. Minister Golda Meir’s
foreign policy speech to the
Knesset Wednesday.
Almost without exception the
newspapers forecast the

peace now that Egypt has

Moscow providing for a continu

The Cairo reports were
equally pessimistic.

for water beds
ATLANTA(UPI)-JohnKerr,
24, of Decatur, was bilked out
of $6,780 Wednesday by two
“friends” who offered to sell
him 1,200 water beds at $5 each.
Kerr told police he only knew
the two men by their first
names and that they had off*

legedly being shipped here
from Florida, if he would meet
him in Piedmont Park with
the cash.
Kerr said he met the pair,
went with them in their car,
had a gun shoved in his ribs
and was tied up and left in an
other section of the city while
the “friends” departed with his
money.
