GOLDEN ISLE
SPEEDWAY
RACE RESULTS
When the announcer gave the familiar call, " Gentlemen,
start your engines”, 26 late model Sportsman race cars
simultaneously came to life at the Golden Isles Speedway
Friday night ( July 7, 1972 ) to compete in the track’s big
gest event of the year, the Permatex 100.
Before a packed stadium, the bright - colored, decal-de
corated machines circled the % mile dirt oval 109 times,
enduring nine caution flags without an injury, and five lead
changes before David Ezell of Jacksonville took the check
ered flag in a Chevrolet. Ezell’s purse for the evening was
better than SI2OO.
The fastest car to qualify was a 1964 chevelle piloted by
Johnny Whitley who turned an average of 79.9 mph. Whit
ley was presented a trophy for his feat by NASCAR’S Pete
Keller.
Keller also presented trophies to Cuyler Payne for having
the best-appearing car in the race, and the reigning Miss
Permatex, Wanda Lastinger.
Miss Lastinger was selected by a panel of three judges,
Carl Rooks, Pat Dabbs and Tommie Willis, and will be on
hand each week to greet the drivers and fans.
A visiting queen, Deborah Jett, Miss Permatex of Nash
ville, Tenn., along with Miss Lastinger and her runner-up,
Rose Marie Tankersley were driven by Mr. and Mrs. J.D.
Duckworth of Jekyll Island, in an old-fashioned “ Pace Car”,
a 1901 Oldsmobile. >
The ” Most popular Driver ” trophy went to Jack Nolan of
Jacksonville, who has had a winning streak recently in his
Mopar money-maker.
Ezell, always a good competitor in the Late Model cir
cuit, ran most of the event in fourth place. At one point,
the three leaders, Wayne Shugart, Eddie MacDonald, Sr.,
and Whitley, connected, tangled and went to the woods, giving
Ezell the lead and he held on in spite of many threats from
the field.
After the race, while munching a piece of victory cake,
Ezell commented ” I’m tired and hungry, but it’s great.”
Permatex has added richly to this super-sport of stock
car racing, not only in dollars to the drivers, but in an over
all effort to make this one of the safest, as well as thrilling,
spectator sports in the nation.

We like being No. 1
so much we decided
to do it again.
The brand-new Datsun Pickup. In just 13 years the Datsun Pickup

His designed to carry on the tradition.
It's a sensational-looking vehicle. There's the roomier,

new power-flow ventilation system. There's a new two-stage
suspension, engineered to deliver a smooth ride whether light
or loaded. Best of all, there are new power-assist brakes.
From Li'l Hustler we carry over all the things that
made us No. 1 in the first place. Overhead cam engine that
delivers up to 25 miles per gallon. 6-foot all-steel load bed
with tie-down hooks. Rugged 4-speed fully-synchronized stick
shift. 6-ply-rated whitewalls, 5 including spare.
Drive the all-new Li'l Hustler today. It's a whole lot of
little truck, from the people who should know.

Newlyweds Shirley Fricks Burgess of Ellijay and C.W. Burgess of Jasper lead wedding party off
Bent Tree Mountain peak bridge. The couple, natives of the Blue Ridge region, wanted an outside
mountain panorama setting for their recent nuptials, and chose a 3,000 feet high peak in Bent
Tree, luxury mountain resort near Jasper. (PRN)
Georgia Mountain Top Wedding
ATLANTA (PRN) - Other
than the wedding aisle jutting
100 feet into the wild blue
yonder of the Blue Ridge
Mountains and a headier than
usual nuptial atmosphere
3,000 feet above sea level, the
marriage of C.W. Burgess of
Jasper and Shirley Fricks of
Ellijay at dusk Friday (June
30) was like hundreds of
Georgia June weddings — well
almost.
The setting was a long
wooden overlook bridge
extending from a Bent Tree
mountain peak, with Sharp
Top, Burnt Mountain and a
half dozen other Blue Ridge
peaks for altar backdrop.
Rice throwers included teen
age children of the Ellijay
bride and Jasper groom. The
young attendants were Betty
and Steve Burgess of Jasper,
18 and 15, and Debbie and
Johnny Fricks of Ellijay, 16
and 12, respectively.

NOTICE TO ALL DOG OWNERS
CITY OF NAHUNTA

streets of Nahunta, after August 14,
1972 without inoculation Tag on Collar
will be destroyed immediately without
further notice.

performed the ceremony
smoothly, except for worrying
about the groom dropping the
ring a couple of thousand feet
to Lake Tamarack valley
below.
Instead of white satin, the
bride chose a maxi dress with
a calico-printed skirt “sort of
square dance style to suit the
rustic setting.” The groom
wore an informal tweed sports
jacket.
The high flying wedding
seemed perfectly logical to
Burgess and his new bride
because both are natives of the
Blue Ridge region. Burgess had
two other good reasons. He is
a property owner at Bent
Tree, a luxury mountain resort
near Jasper, and chief
electrical contractor.
As for pretty brunette
Shirley, “I wanted the most
and fanciest stretch of Blue
Ridge I could find for this
wedding, no matter how high
we had to climb,” she
explained breathlessly after
the ceremony.
The couple came down to
earth in a hurry, however,
heading for a South Carolina
beach honeymoon on
Saturday.
The groom’s other children
include: Mrs. Wanda Bates of
Mableton and Mrs. Carol
Lawson of Cumming.
