(sportsN ON THE I DOYLE JONES, JR. M There won’t be much sleeping Friday night at the Jones househould. At least by one of the residents. Just as on Christmas Eve when visions of sugar plums dance through the minds of the children, we’ll be seeing visions of tomorrow’s opening game between Georgia and Pittsburgh and Sanford Stadium comfortably filled with some 50,000 fans. Before retiring Friday night we’ll have the football paraphenalia laid out and ready to load in the car by dawn’s early light. Cushions, stadium seats, binoculars, umbrellas, rain gear, etc. will be placed on the large chair in the den. Martha, more phlegmatic and less excitable, will sleep more soundly and just plain more, will arise about the usual time and after breakfast will launch into last minute preperations for the lunch. Sandwiches will have to be made, the chicken fried, eggs stuffed, ice chests loaded, and a myriad of other time consuming chores. We have invited Col. John E. (Jay) Jones and his attractive wife, Sandy, of Warner Robins and Dick and Livia O’Hara of Jackson to be our guests for this inaugural game. Jay and Sandy have been with us on several other occasions while Dick and Liv are first timers. Jay is a cousin, a pilot in World War II who served his country with distinction, and a native of Statesboro. About ten o’clock, depending on the Jones and O’Hara’s punctuality, we will set sail for Athens Town, using the route which over the years we have found takes less time and encounters less traffic. We go the Monticello Road, across the bridge and turn left at the bridge onto 221, going northward until the road intersects with Route 11 several miles southeast of Mansfield. You go through Mansfield, Pony Express Junction, the Hub, and Social Circle. North of Social Circle on the Monroe Road, you turn right and proceed on a virtual private road through Good Hope and High Shoals. You can either hit the Madison-Athens highway at Bishop or Watkinsville,and it is then you see the first traffic of fans coming from southern and eastern parts of the state. If the traffic is unusually heavy or bumper to bumper, we take what we call the back route at Watkinsville, approaching Athens from the direction of Whitehall and Princeton. We come into Athens from the old Ag barn complex and then proceed to our favorite parking and picnicking spot behind the Extension building where we finally come to rest under what we have dubbed over the years as the “Jones tree.” The drive to Athens along this route is quite scenic. On several occasions John and Georgia Schroeder have made the trip and John never fails to comment that the gently rolling hills and green pastures in and near Mansfield remind him of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. And indeed it does. Later in the Fall the leaf show is worth the trip to Athens alone. The game is a mere bonus. Upon parking, we set up a card table, the ladies start placing the tempting dishes on the table. Since Col. Jones is a confirmed vegetarian, Sandy almost always brings a pot of baked beans that have to be seen and tasted to appreciate the talents of this gourmet cook. Not being a chicken eater, I usually have a clear shot at any or all of the sandwiches and other goodies, including sweets which I shouldn’t eat but enjoy so immensely. After a leisurely meal and visiting with friends, like the Porter Paynes of Atlanta, who traditionally use the same NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice hereby is given there will be a public hearing at the Main Courtroom, Butts County Courthouse, Jack son, Georgia at 7:30 o’clock p. m. on Monday, Sept. 22, 1975 upon proposals by owners of the following des cribed properties that these petitioners be granted Spe cial Exceptions of locating Mobile Homes in Zoning Classifications A-R (Agricultural Residential) and R-15 (Single Family Residential.)

Public Hearing to be held by the Butts County Board of Appeals. The public is invited to the public hearing herein above announced. THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA parking area, we repack the lunch for a later snack and start for the stadium around 1 o’clock. We never invite anyone idly. There is a method in my madness and it has to do with food. A prerequisite is being a good cook and a good lunch preparer. Please take note, Livvy! Who can ever forget Martha Blake’s (Macon) ham and biscuits; Evelyn Blosfield’s (Griffin) potato salad; Mabel Cornell’s (Indian Springs) fried chicken; Elizabeth Watkins’ (Jackson) fried peach pies or peach puffs as we used to call them: Louise Copeland’s (McDonough) and Georgia Schroeder’s (Jackson) general excellence in packing a delicious picnic basket? The food and the fellowship have been unforgettable. And after the game, if Georgia wins, the long uphill trek seems infinitely shorter, like walking on air. Believe it or not, when we reach the car, the food tastes even better the second time around, the spontaniety of the occasion whetted by the Bulldog victory. After the repeat repast, we head for home, ebuillent, happy, talkative, planning already for the next home game. When Georgia loses, however, it seems Jackson has moved back another 75 miles.
