THE WAY IT WAS This is the way some of Jackson’s late business
leaders looked about 50 years ago in a picture evidently taken in the
basement of the Jackson Methodist Church. The identity of the group, or
the occasion, is not known but it could have been a meeting of the Jackson

mountains of North Georgia,
visiting Lookout Mountain,
Ruby Trails, Cloudland Can

FISHING PROSPECTS
ARE GOOD LOCALLY
Butts County fishers have a
good week in which to land
that big one, if the forecast of
Ben Gunn, of the Department
of Natural Resources, is
accurate.
Gunn says High Falls will
be full and muddy, excellent
for crappie, fair to slow for
others. Jackson Lake should
be full and stained, good for
bass and fair for others.

WESLEYAN TO OFFER

Hundreds To
Ride in Bike-
A-Thon Sat.
The excitement is running
high among the Butts County
Breath of Spring Bike-A-
Thon Committee as they
approach the ride on Satur
day, April 2nd. According to
Lether McCord and Mary
Wood, chairmen, several
hundred are expected to
participate in the Cystic
Fibrosis first annual Bike-A-
Thon. The ride begins at 10
am. at the Courthouse
square. The route is approxi
mately two miles long and
the participants may ride
this route as many times as
they desire. It is felt that by
limiting the length of the
route, the safety of the
children could be guaran
teed.
Assisting with the ride will
be the CB Club, Jaycees,
CVAE Club and the B&PW
Club.
Goals are simple -- to find a
cure or control for the
inherited disease, while
improving diagnosis and
treatment of children suffer
ing with serious lung
damaging diseases, accord
ing to Mrs. McCord. We have
dedicated volunteers, a na
tional organization, re
nowned scientists and re
searchers, and 110 diagnostic
and treatment centers, she
stated. What we don’t have is
enough money; that is why
the Cystic Fibrosis Founda
tion is appealing for support
to expand research and care
programs through this Bike-
A-Thon.
Funds raised in the
Bike-A-Thon wil help support
the C-F care, teaching and
research centers across the
U.S., where children with
lung diseases are diagnosed
and treated with the most
modern techniques and
ruth at random

TREE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
MORNING
Like a buxom lady
with a tall hair-do
and a zigzag scarf,
she pushes aside brown blankets
and sleepily contemplates
getting out of bed!
NOON
As she is making biscuits
the flour is in her hair,
her arms reach out
to help the little ones,
her apron, torn where pockets were,
is sagging at the seams!
NIGHT
A pink bed lamp
is lighted near her pillow,
her hair reflects the glow
and in her limbs
there is a quiver
as she draws the curtains!

1 am writing this letter to
see if I can get some action
from the Sheriff’s Depart
ment. Sunday afternoon a
car was parked on a county
road; it was parked only a
short time. In fact the motor
was still hot when I returned
to this car there were two
law men checking it out. Now
if the lawmen would only
check on a road leading to
my property of the beer
drinking parties leaving the
empty cans in the middle of
the road. Who wants the road
littered with beer cans?
Now if this lawman from
Jackson doesn’t contact me,
Billy Leverette how about
you getting in touch with me.
Something has got to be done
to rid this road of the
drinking parties. I hope the
Sheriff’s Department will
read this and get in touch
with me at once. Thank you.
