There’s always something
going on in Georgia.
Any doubters need only
take a look at the new edition
of “Special Events in
Georgia,” a brochure issued
twice yearly by the Georgia
Department of Industry and
Trade’s Tourist Division. The
current calendar of
happenings, July through
December, is packed with
exciting events taking place
throughout the state in the
smallest communities, the
largest cities.
Signal summer activities
range from the “Dixie 500”
auto race at the Atlanta
International Raceway at
Hampton to tobacco auctions
at Hazlehurst; from a rock and
roll revival at Savannah’s new
Civic Center to a country
music show at Cumming’s
Lanierland Country Music
Park.
Favorite annual events
include the Masters Water Ski
Tournament at Callaway
Gardens, July 14-16; the
Atlanta International Film
Festival, August 11-20;
Brunswick’s Tarpon Derby,
August 1-31. The Georgia
Mountain Fair at Hiawassee,
August 4-12, draws thousands
of visitors with its
demonstrations of old-time
mountain skills and crafts.
Atlanta’s Theatre of the Stars
seasonal schedule of music and
comedy presents “1776,”
“Promises, Promises,” “The
The first federal cigarette tax was levied in 1864. / 3
Jim Nabors Special,” “Sound

Fall listings feature a
selection of fairs and festivals
timed to take advantage of
Georgia’s golden season, when
vivid leaf changes make
highway travel an annual
spectacular in living color. The

Yellow Daisy Festival, and the
Plum Nelly Clothesline Art

Museum at Berry College near
Rome. Dedicated to the
memory of the famed
mountain teacher who
founded the Mount Berry
schools, the museum houses
galleries of art and

Miss Brenda Susan Brakes
field and Charles Thomas Gra
ham were united in marriage at
4: p.m. Saturday June 24, at
Grace United Methodist Chap
el In North Augusta, South Caro
lina. The Rev. Robert C.
Faulkner officiated.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Brake
field. The groom is the son
of Mrs. John B, Graham of
Nahunta, Georgia.
Even though Eddie MacDonald, sr. crossed the finish line
first, last night’s race at the Golden Isles Speedway could
have been and almost was, won by any of the top three con
tenders, MacDonald, Nolan and Tommy Riggins.
MacDonald started on the pole position, with Nolan back
in the third row, but it took only six laps for Nolan’s Ply
mouth to push its way through and pass big Eddie’s Chev
elle. While Nolan and MacDonald were busily juggling the
lead, a swift young newcomer to the Late Model Division,
Tommy Riggins, slipped by MacDonald and charged down
on Nolan, driving a Chevelle home • based on St. Simons.
Nolan fans frantic when Jack did a complete turn around
on a turn and stopped dead in his skid-marks in front of the
grandstands, bringing out the red flag, stopping the race
and sending him to the tail of the pack on the re-start.
This placed Riggins in the lead with only 13 laps in the
record book and it looked as if he was home free for the
next 23 laps, with only a few skirmishes from his oppon
ents. With four laps to run, a trail of smoke followed Rig.
gins around the dirt oval and he was forced to forego his
near-victory until another day.
With Riggins crippled, a new race was on between Nolan
and MacDonald until Carter Ramsey’s Ford turned sideways
on the track and Nolan took to the woods to miss him, with
just a few yards to the finish line. MacDonald spurted past
and took the checkered flag.
The heat races were won by MacDonald and his son, Eddie
Jr.
In the Hobby Division race, a round of applause went to
Charlie Smith of Brunswick, for giving a good performance
in his 1957 Chevrolet and finishing fifth.
It was reported that Ray Potter’s race car caught fire on
the way to the racemeet and was a total loss. Race fans,
drivers and pit crews collected approximately $ 125.00 for
Potter.
For an intermission entertainment , sixteen motor-cycles
gave an exhibition in three heats. The group consisted of
cyclists from age 13 through 45 and included one girl, De
nise Lowe. All but one, were from Brunswick and clay
Pickren and Doug Rowell performed on their souped up yama
has.

Correction
In the wedding announcement
last week the ENTERPRISE
errored by listing the wedding
date as June 7, when it should
have been July 7, 1972., at
7:30 p.m. The error was
typographical and unintent
ional. Also the name of the
groom was misprinted, the
grooms name is Stanley Will
lam Edwards.

“With crime on the
increase, drug usage rampant
and women being pulled off
the streets and raped, this is a
terrible time for the Supreme
Court to make such a decision.
“I hope that when the
composition of the Court is
changed further, this foul
decree will be changed.
“Something has to be done
to stop crime. This will only
increase it.”
