Drivers Say:
Fully-Opened 1-85
Good While It Lasted
COMMERCE -Area motor-
ists will quickly tell you one
thing: It was good traveling In-
terstate Highway 85 into Atlanta
while it lasted. Trouble is, it
didn't last long.
Highway department officials
opened the last 15-mile portion
of the super-route one week ago
to handle the tremendous load of
South Carolina traffic flowing
into Atlanta for the Clemson -
Tech football game.
But it was closed again Mon-
day and, for all practical
purposes, it will be closed until
late October or early November
- when the entire route will be
opened from Atlanta to the
South Carolina line beyond La-
vonia.
Any rate, area people who
had the opportunity to travel to
Atlanta last weekend came
back with a "glowing" report
on what to expect when it is
opened all the way. Many mo-
torists told of driving the 80-plus
miles in little more than an
hour.
Presently, traffic is re-routed
around Jefferson or Gainesville
to reach the end of I-85 now
opened as far as Braselton.

had time to enjoy a box of popcorn.

SMYRNA, Ga. (AP) Fire
damaged the Richard B. Nash
Junior High School one of a
series of fires which has dam-
aged schools in Cobb County in
recent weeks.
Several weeks ago one of
three buildings at the R. L. Os-
borne Junior High School was
destroyed. A 16-year-old boy ad-
mitted setting this blaze. He
was turned over to Juvenile
Court authorities.
No estimate was available
immediately in connection with
today's fire. But firemen said
the damage was confined to a
storage room and a hallway.
The school is expected to be
repaired and back in operation
by Monday although classes
were not held today.
Several trailer classrooms at
a school in Sprayberry were
damaged by fire several weeks
ago.

Speaks
The "We Try Harder" man
will speak at the Georgia In-
dustrial Relations Conference in
October. Robert C. Townsend,
Chairman of the Board of the
Avis Rent-a-Car Corporation,
will be the keynote speaker at
the Associated Industries of
Georgia's annual conference.
The "We Try Harder" slogan
was inroduied by Townsend
when he became head of the
avis Corporation.
Townsend took over the ailing
Avis in March of 1962, which up
to that time had never showed a
profit. When the books were
closed that year, the company
showed an operating loss of well
over $600,000. A few months
ago, Avis reported a net profit
of almost $3 million. The slogan
had paid off.
Townsend's approach to busi-
ness is unorthodox by usual
standards. He has no secretary,
answers his own phones, writes
his own letters and keeps his
own files.
Townsend has a reputation as
a money-maker-for his busi-
ness associates and his stock-
holders. His management of the
half billion dollar investment
fund of American Express was
so successful that he was
charged with management of
that company's $100 million de-
posit foreign banking business.
ARMSTRONG&DOBBS
A new home is a new beginning, a
new life; security and adventure. It's
a place to relax in, with room to
grow. Never before have new homes
offered so much in comfort, in roomi-
ness, in freedom from labor and up-
keep. And never have they been so
easy to buy.

to the minute, up to the needs of
modern families is the job of Arm-
strong & Dobbs. From our constant
efforts to offer Athens home builders
and new home buyers the finest ma-
terials and service, Armstrong &
Dobbs has installed its own new Door
Unit Construction Department.
The Door Unit Dept. manufactures
complete pre-hung units in short
order...usually it can produce all
the doors for a home in one day. In-
terior doors and exterior doors of all
styles are available: Colonial, Pro-
vincial and Modern entrance doors
in mahogany, birch or pine... interior
panel doors, louver doors, sliding and
folding door units.
Armstrong & Dobbs Door Unit service
not only offers Athenians immediate
service but lower prices, due to the
elimination of shipping and handling.
costs. This is just one more service
of Armstrong & Dobbs that-means
you can have the finest home build-
able. You deserve to live your life in
the best home you can buy.
