WILLIAM HUCK Cumming Georgia, Thursday Sept., 8, 1955. 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. Revival Services At Second Baptist Church Begins Sept., 10th. Revival Services will begin at the Second Baptist Church Satur night September 10th, and will con tinue through Saturday night the 17th. The services will be held only at night.

The boys and girls of Forsyth County returned back to school af ter summer vacation last Monday, September sth. A staff of ninety well qualified teachers are employ ed by the ten schools throughout the County. Seven of the ten have a modern lunch room. Final inspection of the new For syth County High School was made by the State School Building Au thority last Friday and the keys to the building were at that date turned over to School Superintend ent A. R. Housley. Because of the delay in the inspection of the build ing open house had to be postpon ed. The date of Open House will be announced later. A. R. Housley, Supt. Forsyth County Schools Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton 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. * ASC NEWS In Forsyth County there remains 27 overplanted cotton farms.

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. W. R. CALLAWAY LOOK INTO YOUR MIND Where do you get your opinions about the school in your communi ty?
