Newspaper Page TextCommittees Named For Walk For Mankind Butts County citizens are joining Project Concern’s Walk for Mankind in increasing numbers, according to Dennis O’Neal, chairman of the project Walk for Butts County. The Walk which is scheduled for Saturday, May 19, has an impressive roster of commit tee members. On the Schools and Churches committee, chairmaned by Joe Taylor, are Doyle Jones, Jr., Bailey Crockarell, Y. C. Hudson, Pat Patterson and Pliny Weaver. Joe Brown, Jr. chairs the Registration and Manpower committee. His committee members include Ricky Beau champ, Johnny Carter, Randy Hudgins, Jimmy Maddox, Y. C. Hudson, Lee Roy O’Neal, Harvey Hall, Asa Maddox’ Maurice Moore, Fred Raney and T. E. Robison, Sr. Sheriff Barney Wilder has assured the Kiwanis Club, co sponsors of the Walk, that the full route will be patrolled and all walkers protected and given aid when required. The Traffic and Communications com mittee is chaired by Frank Forehand. He is assisted by Francis Holland, Lewis Wel don, Bobby Mackey, Harvey Hall, Luke Weaver, Guy Bearden and Rogers Starr. Entertainment will be pro vided during the Walk and heading this committee is Victor Black, with members, Ralph Carr and Charles Campbell. Free refreshments will be provided walkers, along the Walk and at the finish line. Chairman of this committee is Hugh Glidewell, assisted by Bobby Mackey, Doug Durrett, Lewis Weldon and Sandy Sanvidge. Chairman of the Treasurer committee is Lou Moelchert, with members Ed Manley, M. L. Powell, Levi Ball and Malvern Edwards. Publicity on the worthy event is being handled by Herman Waits, chairman with com mittee members, Bob Pinck ney, Doyle Jones, Jr., Frank Forehand, Harry Redman, and Richard Watkins. The Walk for Mankind has a two-fold role to play in that the primary concern is that of raising funds for medical relief in areas where people receive little medical attention. The secondary role might be said to have aesthetic and therapeutic values. Those involved in the Butts County Walk will have the enjoyment of an outdoor ‘hike” in some of Georgia’s magnificent scenery while serving a worthy cause. The route planned will cover 23 miles, beginning at Jackson High School on Woodland Way, lead to High Falls State Park via Brownlee Road, retrace the route to Mount Vernon Road (also known as Claude Maddox Road), trace the trails to Indian Springs State Park and back into Jackson along State Route 36. O’Neal said that plans call for the first contingent of walkers to begin their Walk at eight o’clock Saturday morn ing, with the last walkers to leave no later than nine o’clock that morning. Brown reported that the Jackson Business and Pro fessional Women’s Club will direct the stationing of refresh ments along the route every three miles. Water and salt tablets will be available as well as soft drinks and snacks. Check point for walkers will be at the end of each mile of the planned Walk, announced Forehand. Cards will be checked and credit given for each mile covered. This is to aid those unable to complete the Walk to realize sponsor’s funds from the miles they do cover. Members of Jackson Kiwanis Club will mann checkpoints, assisted by volun teers. Citizens are urged to pre register with Joe Brown, Jr.’s committee to obtain their Walk Card and to get the sponsor cards needed to solicit their own sponsors of the Walk. They may call 775-7341 or 775-3178 for registration information. Car Strikes Pumps At Gas Station A car driven by Karen Sue Parr, 20, of Sarasota, Fla. pulled into the Storey & Polk Gulf Service Station at the Georgia 16-1-75 Interchange about two o’clock Wednesday morning, April 18th, with the driver losing control and the auto striking and knocking down gas pumps at the station. Gasoline was extensively spilled and a major fire was possibly averted due to the quick action of the Dundee Volunteer Fire Department from Griffin who quickly hosed down everything with water. Miss Ronnie Heice of Ft. Wayne, Indiana was a pas senger in the car and was brought to Sylvan Grove Hospital for treatment of a gash to her head. The accident caused damage to the pumps, oil rack, two cases of oil and two posts. It was believed that the mishap occurred when Miss Parr inadvertently hit the gas pedal rather than the brake. The accident was investi gated by the Butts County Sheriff’s Department.
