THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS - NOVEMBER 13* 1969
DOLLARS AND
GOOD SENSE
By: William J. Martin
Dear Mr. Martin: My hus
band and I need some advice
on what kind of car we should
buy for our specific needs. Th
ere are just the two of us.
No children. We don’t know
whether to get an economy car
or go to a little bigger one for
trips, etc.
Mts. B.C,
My definition ofan“econom
y” model is an automobile hav
ing six cylinders and
devoid* of a lot of fancy frills
and goodies.
In my column sometime ago,
I discussed the things to look
for when buying a new car. I’m
enclosing a copy of that column
for youabooklet which may help
you. In this column, I reco
mmended that the reader go for
an eight-cylinder car for long
distance and freeway driving. I
still recomment that with one
exception. If your car is go
ing to be used primarily for
commnting to work, the stop
and-go type of driving, I would
suggest that you select an auto
mobile of six cylinders or less.
An import, even.
However there are some
other questions which need to be
ansered. You say there are ju
st the two of you. Do you mean
that that you are (1) recently
married and have not started
a family yet but are in the
market for a new car, (2) your
children are grown and have left
home leaving just you and your
husband, or (3) you have been
married for a few years and
have no plans for children, etc.
You see, if you’re just marr
ied and haven’t started your
family yet, I would certainly
recomment that you do not sock
a lot of money into a big sporty
car. Except for the annual va
cation trip and an occasional
weekend, you probably won’t be
making that many trips anyway.
In addition, when your fam
ily doescome along, you won’t
be tied down with a large mon
thly carpaymenttowrestlewith.
If, on the other hand, you fall
into the latter two categories,
are reasonably adjusted finan
cially and will have more time
for travelling, then purchase the
big model, even the larger delux
model.
But, if you really want to ec
onomize, which as a family fin
ancial counselor I must urge

“Make your next move
to the country!”
"Space for families to stretch and grow . . . plenty
of breathing room away from the city's congested
tread-mill! And all without sacrificing the conveniences
of city living!" . . .
This is the message we can send to the crowded
cities. Industry and private citizens alike are finding
rural areas mighty attractive alternatives to their urban
problems!
We need to create jobs in rural areas . . . help stop
the out-flow of our young people . . . build for the
future. We've got lots to offer! We've got power to
grow . . . out where there's room to grow!

you to do, then get a compact
or an import. But be careful
when you select a “compact,”
Sometimes, you can put more
money in a so-called compact
than in a larger model.

4—H’ers
The Cumming fifth grade boys
had 4-H. The date was Nov.
4, 1969 at 9:00. We met in the
cafetorium. Joey Mauldin, the
president, called the meeting
to order. Stan Harris read the
bible and lead us in the Lord’s
Prayer. We said the Pledge of
Allengance. Mr. Rucker told us
the 4-H pledge and gave us
our Record Booklets. The meet
ing was adjourned.
Well, it’s past for another
year the color, excitement,
and spirit of football season.
And the Flash of Crimson and
Fabulous Flashes finished up in
grand style last Friday night
at our own stadium with a ra
ther unusual show! Many of
you said you knew something
was up when you heard my
voice, and not Mr. T’s , on
the P.A.!
From the opening number,
with our Flashes decked out
like toy dolls, to the closing
number, with guest soloist, it
was a show we all enjoyed, and
we appreciate the many kind
comments we’ve heard since,
indicating that you, too, enjoyed
it.
When we really want to get
to Mr. T., we tell him that the
horn he used on Friday night's
show plays better than his
“real” one! I said once before
I wish he wouldn’t be so con
vincing at the start of that act!
I think we all realize, though,
that he couldn’t play like that
if he was really that far gone!!
Now if you think the Flash of
Crimson sits in the bandroom
the rest of the year, you don’t
know this outfit very well! And
if you think last F r iday night was
your last opportunity to see and
hear them this year
You can begin by going to Le
nox Square with us on Saturday,
November 22 for the Santa Claus
parade. TheFOCandMr.T.are
working up some special arr
angements for the parade, to in
sure , once again, that the Flash
will provide something differ
ent in the way of entertainment
as they represent Forsyth
County down there in the Big
City! Don’t know how many
other bands are to be in the
parade....hope to have more de
tails for you later.
Right now we hope many of
you will mark Thurs. night,
December 18' on your calen
dars. That is our Christmas
Concert, and if you have not
heard either of the concerts in
the past two years, you should
be with us that Friday night.
If you have been before, we feel
you will want to come again. It
is a very special sort of con
cert, and we feel it will be well
worth your valuable time at this
particular season.
The Red Peppers go into high
gear this week, with the first
home basketball game Saturday
night. The Peppers were origi
nated, you know, to play at the
basketball games, and other e
vents where the FOC could not
play for one reason or another.
Since that time, in 1967, they
have really extended them -
selves, and the reputation of
Forsyth County High School, o
ver a wide range of places and
occasions.
Thursday evening, November
20, they will perform for the
big Soil and Water Conserva
tion District Affiliate & La
dies’ Night at Gainesville’s Dix
ie Hunt Hotel. Some of you
Forsyth County folks will be
at this affair, and a large num
ber of people from surround
ing counties, as well as a num
ber of dignitaries are expect
ed.

We care where our product is served.
Beer served in pleasant and wholesome surroundings is
the aim of the United States Brewers .Association. And
we are always striving to do something about it.
The USBA is represented by field men around the
country. They meet with proprietors of establishments
where beer is sold. They work in every way possible to
promote a set of high standards wherever beer is served.
This USBA effort means even more enjoyable places
for America's great beverage of moderation.

Peppers will play at Atlanta’s
Regency Hyatt House for Blue
Bird Company’s Annual Sales
Meeting. Mr. Pete Wren came
up from Fort Valley recently
to hear and see the Peppers,
and informed Mr. T. that the
Flash of Crimson and Peppers
have a widespread reputation.
Things like this are nice to
hear, especially in a day and
time when bad news makes the
headlines, and travels fastest.
So you see that the time be
tween now and Christmas holi
days is pretty well filled for
the Big Kids in the FOC. If
you walk into the bandroom now
you will see some different in
struments in use, as the Band
goes from football into concert
season. The lower voices of
the alto, bass, and contra-bass
clarinets and the E - flat’s high
carrying tone; the exotic sound
of the oboe; French horn and
baritone which add so much in
depth; the lovely and vibrant
tympani; by Christmas-concert
time, you will notice a change
in the sound of the FOC. This
is the time of year Mr. T. stops
yelling, “Louder! No guts!” He
now pleads, “A little more taste
and a little less guts!”

Scout Troop
Organizes
The Men’s Club at Midway
Methodist Church will sponsor
an organizational meeting for
new scout troop. The meeting
will be held Saturday night at
the church.
Parents of boys irom age
11 to 18 are urged to bring
their sons and get involved.
I went to a meeting last night.
It was at Sawnee School, and the
parents of our newest Band
members, the Sparklers, were
there to help their youngster
choose the right instrument to
begin his or her career in the
Band Program. The sounds
emanating from the instruments
as eager mouths sought to make
some semblance of sound from
each the wrinkled brows of
some parents as they wondered:
“Oh my gosh! How can I stand
that every night, under my own
roof?!”....the enthusiasm and
determination of these begin
ners is a welcome asset to
the Program, and we welcome
you, Sparklers from Sawnee,
and your parents. All during
the week, similar meetings will
be held at our other schools in
the County, and we expect a fine
group of beginning students, un
der the instruction of Townly
Johnson.
I urge you parents who will
soon be hearing all sorts of
strange noises from basements,
back bedrooms (I hear one par
ent is planning to build a fall
out shelter...didn’t say wheth
er it was for him or his child!),
and other places of practice,
to encourage these young peo
ple; they will need it. Keep
their eyes and ears, and yours,
on the Flash of Crimson....it
is quite a goal, we believe, for
any aspiring young musician.
And along the way, until he or
she achieves that goal, many
desirable, enjoyable, educa
tional, rewarding moments will
be yours.
Take it from one who knows!
