The recently organized Junior Cham
ber of Commerce is assuming its civ
ic responsibilities in great style, and
the other service clubs in our town
had best look to their laurels if they
want to keep pace with progress. I
am personally indebted to this hard
working group of young men for the
new press box they have erected at‘
the high school football field. It is the
best accommodations for the working
press of any field in our region, and
likely will match those of larger cities.‘
Another recent accomplishment of the
Jaycees was its contribution to safety
on the highways during the Labor
Day week end. In order to-impress
the motoring public and make it more
safety conscious, the Jaycees served
coffee to every auto driver and the
occupants of the car when they passed
through Blakely. They set up a road
block and stopped every car and in
vited its occupants to drink a cup of
hot coffee. In addition to the Jay
cees’ contribution to a safe week on
the highways, this gesture made a lot
of friends for our town. WSB radio
station, Atlanta, heard of the Jaycees’
goodwill gesture and featured the Jay
cees on the Five Star Final News
program on September 4, and mailed
to Edsel Bryan, president, a certificate
showing the Jaycees to be the recip
ient of the “750 Award” for that par
ticular day.
This is what the news broadcaster
had to say about the Blakely Jaycees
on the September 4 broadcast: “One of
the brighter aspects of the recent La
bor Day week end has come to light.
Down at Blakely, Ga., the Early Coun
ty Junior Chamber of Commerce en
deared itself to all motorists who pass
ed through the town from 8 o’clock
Friday night till two o'clock Tuesday
morning. During that time the Jaycees
served some 2000 cups of coffee to
motorists who stopped and partook of
this fine southern hospitality on the
courthouse square. The merchants of
Blakely and the police played major
roles in the venture. The merchants
supplied 90 per cent of the supplies—
the police helped to steer the weary
travelers to the coffee oasis. Guests
were outspoken in their appreciation
of the project, both as a safety meas
ure and as a community booster. Those
who signed the guest register will soon
get a picture postcard from Blakely,
Georgia. And so to the Early County
Jaycees, for their booming success
with Labor Day travelers, goes to
night’s 750-Award, along with our
congratulations. And that’s your Five
Star Final . . " :
A number of readers have asked for
some information on how to make a
contribution to the Cancer Fund-® in
memory of a friend or loved one who
has passed away. It is very simple. All
you have to do is mail or take your
contribution to Mrs. O. F. Thompson,
who is the Memorials Fund Chairman.
She, in turn, will see that the one
making the contribution receives an
acknowledgement and that the family
of the deceased is also notified. And
it is a lasting memorial.
Alex Howell, the hard-working pres
ident of the Blakely Lions Club, says

Club’s Birthday Calendar, he is going
to boycott this column. If you want
your name placed on the calendar and
some member of the club hasn't called
on you, please telephone Alex, or J. T.
Manry, or Bert Tarver. The Lions cal
endar is a useful one. It supplies a
lot of information about the birthdays,
anniversaries, meeting dates of serv
ice clubs, and so on. In addition, it
is a lot of fun looking up the birthdays
of your friends, and reminding you
to send them a card. Besides all this,
the profits made from this project go
to operate the Lions’ charities and civ
ic projects. Better hurry ,if you want
to participate. The calendar goes to
the printer next Tuesday. Call Alex
up right now. Don’t let him sleep to
night.
Congratulations to James Murdock
upon his recent election to the presi
dency of the Southeastern Florists As
sociation. The association comprises
the states of Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, Louisiana, North and South Caro
lina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Miss
isippi. For this position there is al
ways a spirited competition among the
candidates, and James's election speaks
well for the esteem in which he is
held among his fellow florists. James
is a man of unlimited energy and ev
ery job he undertakes, he gives it his
best. I congratulate the other florists
for electing him,
