Blakely Loses To
o
Marianna; Play
-
Camden Co., Fri.
Ai good big man will whip a good
little man is an old axiom that proved
true last Friday night in Marianna,
Fla., as a big strong Florida Bulldog
eleven whipped the Blakely Bobcats
13-6.
The Bobcats played without the serv
ices of their touchdown maker, Ward
Holman, who didn’t suit up because of
a knee injury, and regular :nd Johnny
Dixon sidelined because of a hurt
shoulder., The Bobcecats who entered
the game as underdogs, won every de
partment, except that of crossing the
double stripes.
On the first play from serimmage
quarterback Raymond Jennings looped
a pass to end Marvin Heffner, a 71
yard touchdown play, and that's the
way the game remained until mid-way
he 4th period when Trey Herring hit
on two pass completetions, one to full
back Milton White for a first down on
the Bulldog 30, and then on 4th down
of the next series. hit Bill George for
26 yards to the Marianna 4. Milion
White carried to the one, and Herring
on the 2nd try pushed it across. Ed
Morton's boot for the extra point was
a shade wide.
The Bulldogs came back with five
minutes on the clock, running on 4th
down on the Blakely 46 and Robert
Frank ran in to the end zone. Eddie
Stephens rocked the line for the ex
tra point.

A Blakely Mother
Expresses Her Thanks
A Blakely mother is very apprecia
tive of the response made by the peo
ple of the community when her daugh
ter was said to need an operation.
“I wish I could personally thank
each contributor”, Mrs. Eunic Smith
said “and I want the people of Blake
ly to know how it happened that Rita
Faye did not have the operation,” she
went on to explain.
It had been determined by a Col
quitt doctor and the fact verified by
the officials at the Phoebe Putney
Hospital that Rita Faye needed the
operation but the 100.00 was not avail
able for the initial fee for the opera
tion at that time. After the eight vear
old invalid girl was brought home,
relatives let it be known that the child
needed the operation and in a few
hours the money had been scured.
But it was 24 hours before every
thing was cleared for her to return
i 0 Albany, transportation secured, and
necessary arrangements completed.
And after undergoing tests and re
maining under observation for three
days it was decided the operation for
an intestinal block was not needed,
And so the money went for the stay
in the hospital, doctor's fees, and
medicine, Mrs, Smith was quite reliev
ed to learn the operation was not nec
essary but she wants everyone to
know that at the time word went
around the money was needed, she
thought the operation was necessary,
as did the doctors under whose care
the child had been placed.
Rota Faye has been an invalid all of
her life,

Visiting Teachers
‘ Fall Conference
‘ Held At Radium
| e
~ The Georgia Association of Visiting
i'l‘enchers held their fall conference
here November 8,9, 10. The theme of
the conference was “Shared Respon
sibility in Recognizing the Potential
Drop-Out.” Visiting Teachers along
wth psychologsts, psychiatrists, psy
chiatric social workers, ministers,
members of the Georgia Department
of Public Health, court officials and
other school ‘personnel have spent
three days discussing what they as
a “team” can do to help the poten
tial drop-out before his problem ac
tually develops. Georgia Visiting
Teachers feel that in facing this prob
lem in a child before it is a real
problem they are assuming the same
role that immunization shots assume
in preventive medicine.
Having been organized in 1945 the
Georgia Visiting Teacher program has
grown to become recognized as one of
the outstanding programs of its type
in the nation. Acording to Miss Florrie
Still, Coordinator of Visiting Teachers
Services, Visiting Teachers have been
called the “attorney for the child” The
chief concern of the Georgia Visiting
Teacher is the child himself and what
type of future he is building for him-

Five Negroes Go
To 88th Congress
Washington, D. C. — The 88th Con

Four Negro House members won
re-clection in Tuesday voting and
were joined by a fifih, Democrat Au

petbag rule sent one Negro to the
Senate and seven to the House. One or
more Negroes from the south sorved
in every Congress thereafter through
1901. After that, there was no Negro
mmber of Congress until 1928.
Both Democratic and Republican
candidates in the new 21st California

part of Los Angeles which ranks sixth
among cities in Negro population, The
dis.riet is about 80 percent Negro.

Detroit; William L. Dawson, Chicago;
and Robert N. C. Nix, Philadelphia.
