Katona Ends Atop |
Lakewood Scramble
BARRON & THOMPSON CLAIM
VICTORY BEFORE 24,000 FANS
By AL THOMY
Some 24,000 Labor Day specta
tors, largest racing crowd ever to
assemble in Atlanta, watched 40 or
less cars make 199 trips around
the Lakewood track before phara
phrasing a famous baseball line:
Who’s in first?
Iggy Katona of Milan, Mich.,
driving under the colors of Mid
western Assn, for Race Cars
(MARC), said, “I won the race.”
Chester Barron, who appeared to
take over the lead on the 175th
lap, said, “I won the race.’’
Roscoe Thompson, like Barron a
representative of Southern Racing
Enterprises (SRE), said, "I won
the race.”
Officials from the two racing
groups went over the scoreboards
a process which took some three
houjrs, and announced that Katona
was' winner of the $2,000 first place
money. Barron was named second,
and Thompson third.
The finish went something like
this:
KJatona, who led midway the
race until near the finish, broke a
tie rod on the 175th lap. Barron
appeared to take the lead, but of
ficials ruled later that Katona ac
tually had lapped the Austell, Ga.,
driver and thus finished first, limp
ing in with his wounded machine,
a ‘55 Ford.
Barron ran into a three-ar colli
son on the 199th lap and thus did
not finish the race. Rulesstate a
man cannot win if he doesn’t cross
the finish line.
Although Ije was announced as
the winner after the dust had set
tled, Thompson, who was driving a
‘55 Buick, finished third. He had
gotten seven laps behind on a pit
stop and never made up the deficit.
There were several minor spills
and flip-overs during the schedul
ed 250-mile race, but none serious.
The event was shortened to 200
laps when the first turn, which
suffered a recent cave-in, appeared
to be weakening. But then the race
ended on the 199th lap.
Barron, jockeying a ‘55 Chevro
let, got $1,500 for second, and
Thompson was awarded $750.
Officials had not tabulataed the
other finishers at a late hour Mon
day morning.—Atlanta Constitution
Motorist Asked To Co
operate with School
Safety Patrols
The work of School Safety Pa
trols in protecting children at haz
ardous crossings can be only as
effective as the cooperation of mot
orists will permit, warns the Geor
gi Motor Club (AAA) in “School’s
Open Drive Carefully” campaign
L. S. Langworthy, Safety Direct
or of the AAA club, pointed out
that patrol members are not allow
ed to direct traffic. Their job on
the team for child safety is to keep
youngsters on the sidewalk until
there is a safe lull in traffic.
"Motorists should learn to identi
fy these boys and girls by their
white Sam Browne Belts and AAA
badges,” Langworthy said,” and to
help them in their iob by driving
slowly through school zones.
“The responsibility of patrol
members and motorists alike is
greater during the opening weeks
of school than at any other time,
for children have not yet thorough
ly learned their classroom lessons
in safe walking.
"As a motorist, it’s your duty
to be able to stop, should a child
run unexpectedly into the street,”
Langworthy concluded.

AFTERTHOUGHTS
Judge Frank Jenkins has publish
ed, or rather his friends have pub
lished a number of his poems un
der the title, Afterthoughts. Re
membered as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Georgia, Judge
Jenkins, now in retirement, lectur
es to seniors in the Emory Law
School, and enjoys the quet of his
home. It is in this atmosphere that
he has written some of the best
poetry I have lately seen.
This brief review could not, of
course, reproduce more than a few
lines of these poems, but I must
pass on one or two examples. Here
is a quatrain on Friendship:
For Friendship, neither how nor
why,
No measurement is given;
Too fine a thing to beg or buy,
It comes the gift of Heaven.
And there is the poem Wild
Flowers, which I love:
A little grandchild gaily walked
with me
Down the long road, across the
wood and field;
We played along at who was first
to see
Translated dreams of Nature, half
concealed.
Flowers? They were more than
flowers ;all aglow,
She gathered immortelles. Unwith
ered, they
Are kept within our hearts as
bright as though
Her emblem love was given yester
day.
And I like the poem which the
Judge calls Personal:
Never for me has a holiness come,
But am many faulted grown, 9
Save the day that I came into
Chistendom
By faith and His grace alone.
Now spent and worn, I can hear
the wings
That are come to unpprison me;
But holy for twice, there are finer
things
Than the soul’s felicity.
Though the Master speaks, there is
pardon sure
For the answer in distress;
For He knows that for us there
are two things pure—
Faith and faithfulness.

Gov. Marvin Griffin signs a proclamation designating Sept. 11-18
as Soil Conservation Week in Georgia as three members of the
State Soil Conservation Committee look on. The commiieemen,

that. “Every person—as a daily consumer of food, clothing, forest

Soil Conservation News
Forsyth County
As a part of the observation of
Soil Conservation Week September
11—18 two tours have been plan
ned in Forsyth County. The tours
have been planned for Wednesday
September 14th, one starting from
the local agricultural offices at 10
A. M. and touring through the
Dave Creek, Sharon, Big Creek,
Brandywine communities and the
secon dtour leaving the agricultur
al offices at 1 P. M. and touring
the Settingdown creek watershed.
It is urged that everyone come in
their car and make one of these
tours and see what is being done
by some of your neighbors in the
way of conservation of our soil
and water. The women are cor
dially invited to make the tours as
many of them are more active jn
the conservation field than many
of our men folks. Each of the
tours will last approximately two
hours.
As a climax to observing Soil
Conservation Week attend the big
Area Conservation Celebration in
Gainesville at the Civic Building
Friday September 16th starting at
11:00 A. M. A delicious chicken
dinner will be served. FREE.
A New Start
Have you found his plan for
your life? Do you feel his guiding
hand directing you into that ser
vice to him that can make your
life fulfil all his high expectations
of you? We may not know all that
he purpases for us; but we can
know that "in his will is our
peace”.
In regard to those who were in
exile in Babylon, there is much of
value for us today In studying the
plan by which those who stayed in
Babylon “strengthened the hands’
of those who returned with rich
gifts of gold and silver, goods, live
stock, and other "precious things’ s
Over and above’ their gifts, they
ialso sent a freewill offering for
the house of God that is in Jesusa
lem” as Cyrus had suggested.
So it has ever been in the work
of the Lord. Some go out as mis
sionaries preaching the good news,
others work faithfully at home to
support the missionaries in their
labors. God has a place and a part
for everyone.
Envies, jealousies and spites as
well as an evil imagination has
caused so many to lose sight of
the one thing they should never
lose sight of < that is the Will
of God for their lives. Let God
have his way with you every
thing else matters little. You can
make a new start today.
