Athenians GoToßat
For Aidmore Benefit
Two more well known Athenians today joined the ranks
of those urging wholehearted participation in the Atlanta
Crackers-Georgia Bulldogs baseball game here March 31
for the benefit of Aidmore Crippled Children’s Hospital.
Dr. M. T. Summerlin, . Athens
dentist and trustee of Aidmorel
Hospital, said, “this hospital's
program is one of the finest I
have ever seen, and the children
who receive treatment need it
desperately.”
He continued that during the 15 |
years since Aidmore was estab-'
lished this has become one of the
best known institutions of its kind
in this section of the country.
“The facilities provided by Aid
more for treating crippled needy
children are of top quality,” he

The People Will Have the Final §
Next Wednesday!
I am a candidate for Tax Collector of Clarke County in the Democratic
Primary to be held next Wednesday.
Recently, attempts have been made to picture me as a “Johnny-Come-
Lately” to Clarke County, when, as a matter of fact, I was practically
raised in this County, by my Uncle, J. C. (Choice) Cooper.
I might also mention the fact that when the Board of County Com
missioners for Clarke County was first instituted in 1803, my grand
moher’s grandfather, William Hopkins, was a member of the original
board.
I am in this race because I feel I am adequately qualified, both by
experience and 'temperament, to satisfactorily discharge the duties of
the office of Tax Collector. I feel sure the taxpayers are more concerned
about the qualifications of candidates than in any other factor.
I have had twenty-four years’ experience in the field of accounting,
collections and loans, general finance and public relations.
I am a candiadte for Tax Collector, because I am certain the people
of Clarke County are perfectly capable of making up their own minds as
to whom they wish to fill that office, and will do so.
lam a candidate for Tax Collector, because I am married and the
father of four children, all of school age, and I need the job.
If you will give me your vote and support next Wednesday for the
office of Tax Collector, I shall be deeply grateful, and will evidence that
appreciation by giving you an efficient and courteous administration of
the duties of that office. :
Respectfully,
i
Joe B. Cooper
girls deserves the support of
l everyone,”
Another Athens leader, Police
| Chief Clarence Roberts, referred
to the enthusiasm with which the
project is being received here.
Chief Roberts is in charge of tick
| et sales.
| “Our advance sale of tickets has.
, exceeded our fondest hopes,” he
stated, “and I am sure that this
game will be remembered for a
long while for its contribution to
hundreds of children who need aid
very much.”

Vie Next Week
Vie Next Wee
The Harlem Globetrotters, bas
ketball’s greatest attraction may
be forced to call on all their famed
court * magic to offset the speed
and uncanny shooting of the crack
Hawaiian Surf Club Ambassadors
in their meeting at the City Audi
torium in Atlanta on Sunday
afternoon, March 30th.
Veterans Babe Pressley and
Duke Cumberland are expected to
give the fans some fancy Globe
trotter showmanship and even
against such formidable opposi
tion as the Surf Club Ambassa
dors will add some comedy to the
game. Sonny Smith, Bob Hall,
Ducky Moore and Leon Hillard
other Globetrotter greats will add
to the making of a very fine per
formance in their appearance at
the Auditorium and it might be
one well remembered by fans in
this section.
Last season the Globetrotters
broke all existing records for at
tendance by attracting over 2,00,
000 fans for the season and in
Olympia Stadium in Berlin drew
an estimated crowd of 75,000 for
a single night's performance.
The Hawaiian Ambassadors
might prove a real thorn to the
Globetrotters both in color and
ability as they have one of the
fastest and most accurate shooting
teams in basketball.
Led by sensational Philip Kani
ho, the greatest player in Hawaii,
the Ambassadors hope to upset
the high flying Globetrotters. With
such fine players as Art Kim, Ray
Wong, George Makini, Art Ziehm
and Robert Akeo in their line-up,
they could accomplish this feat
too.
