‘Tm terribly sorry, but if youU
called for reservations....”
Someone figured driving 50 miles back and forth costs 20
dollars. But with Southern Bell 50 miles is only a short long dis
tance call away. Which means in Georgia, the most a 5-minute
call of 50 miles or so can cost is $1.68, dialed direct without the
operator. Anytime day or night.
We figure it’s a lot smarter to get on the phone for those
one-of-a-kind things, reservations, shopping, or whatever,
before getting on the highway.
Make a short long distance call today.

Blacks play major role
at the start of Olympics
The Olympics Games opened
last week and from all sources, ex
cept the Soviet, the ceremonies
were quite a spectacle. The rehear
sed pageantry was filled with
everything as athletes from around
the world were showcased to
millions of viewers.
As I sat and watched on TV I
was determined not to get caught
up in all the showbiz gala, but
something happened, and I found
myself too, waiting for the U.S.
team. Tears formed in my eyes as
Gina Hemphill, granddaughter of
the late Jesse Owens, circled the
track with the Olympic torch.
Rafer Johnson, winner of the
decathlon in the 1960 games, made
me feel proud as he climbed to the
top of the stadium to light the tor
ch signifying the opening of the
games. Then there was Edwin
Moses, world record holder in the

Youth Enjoy Tennis—This ummer over 25 youths between
the ages of 8-15 were involved in a summer tennis program
held at Dykes Park and sponsored by the Inner City Tennis
Club in conjunction with the recreation department.
Instructors in the program were George Bailey, Rita
Bradley, Lonnie Hollis and Trudi Menuwa.
400-meter hurdlers and winner of
102 consecutive events, accepting
the challenge of athletes’ oath.
There were a few other things
that happened during the opening
ceremonies, and I would like to
present these awards:richest
delegation, Saudi Arabia; best
dressed delegation, Romania; best
speech, President Ronald Reagan
(it had only 16 words); best kept
secret who would carry the Olympic
torch into the stadium; largest
delegation, United States, and best
drop of the day- One of the
pigeons flying overhead.
Well, so much for the awards;
the games have started and as ex
pected the Americans are
dominating.
There’s only one regret that I
have about the opening
ceremonies: I couldn’t be there to
witness the event live.
