Roy Rogers To
Present Show At

A number of pint-sized cowboys

idol in person.
Roy Rogers, the “King of the Cow
boys,” will put on two shows at the
City Auditorium, at 4:15 p. m. and

With Roy will be Dale Evans, his
attractive wife, Trigger, the golden
palomino that is called the “smartest
horse in the movies,” Bullet, Roy’s
Getman shepherd dog, and Pat
Brady.
Not so long ago Roy was a little
boy who loved to go to the movies,
and who dreamed of one day becom
ing a movie cowboy like idols of
that day, Buck Jones and Hoot Gib
son. Roy has realized his ambition,
and when he visits Atlanta he plans
to give one of Bullet’s puppies to
some other youngster who dreams of
one day becoming a movie and tele
vision cowboy.
Roy will also demonstrate some
of the skills of the trade, such as
shooting and riding. With the help
of Trigger ,the horse with whom he
has made 89 movies, Roy will show
off some real trick horsemanship.
Tickets for the show, at $2.50,
$2.00 and $1.25, including tax, will
be on sale by mail from the Roy
Rogers Show? City Auditorium, At

Washington Full
School Children
Says Sidney Camp
T \
Washington is full of school chil
dren, and Congressman Sidney Camp
suggests that visitors include Monti
cello, Mt. Vernon and Williamsburg
in their itinerary. He writes:
Washington has been full of visit
ors this week, among them thousands
of school children visiting the capital
during the Easter holidays. The city
is beautiful with new green foliage
and bright flowers everywhere. We
have already received information
that groups of high school boys and
girls from the district expect to come
to Washington in June and we are
glad to receive the information and
hope to be able to help them get the
most from their visit.
*
Many of these groups will be com
ing by automobile or bus. We hope
that in planning their itinerary they
will include a stop at Charlottesville,
Va., long enough to visit Monticello,
the home of Thomas Jefferson, one
of the sacred shrines of American
history. This magnificent architec
tural gem is as beautiful and inspir
ing today as it was 175 years ago and
like Mt. Vernon, home of the Father
of our Country, should not be over
looked by anyone making a sightsee
ing Washington trip. Thomas Jeffer
son, the intellectual giant, is per
haps America’s greatest contribution
to Democratic leadership.
To make a trip up here complete,
it should include visits to Monticello,
Mt. Vernon, near Alexandria, Va. and
finally the restored capitol of Virgin
ia at Williamsburg. The first could be
visited en route to Washington and
the latter two on the return trip.
Visiting students who miss seeing
these shrines will always regret it.
ROATION CONTROLS ROOT-KNOT
Three or four year rotations that
include root-knot resistant crops such
as peanuts, oats, rye, crotalaria, and
cotton will help hold root-knot dam
age to a minimum and produce good
quality according to agronomists for
the Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Georgia.
