OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod I know you won’t believe it, but we made a bit of a mess out of the “clue” for the mystery picture con test last week. We said one of the “kids”' was employed by one of the community’s larger stores, and the other farmed south of Seminole’s second largest community. In away we were right, but at the same time we were wrong. The smaller baby was Frank Williams, and the other was his brother, Anderson Williams. Because of the mixup, we have two winners. Mrs. Etta Cross gets a subscription for correctly identifying the boys, and Miss Carolyn Lane gets one, too, for straightening us out on the relationships in volved. Anderson Rodenberry Wil liams and Frank Park Wil liams are sons of the late William H. Williams, former rural mail carrier, and Mrs. Dixie W. Mock, of Iron City. Anderson, now employed by Swift & Company at Ocala, Fla., left Seminole County in 1928. (Anderson and Frank have another brother, Carroll E. “Tubby” Williams, and two sisters.) Anderson C. Williams, a farmer residing about 4 miles south of Iron City, is the son of the Rev. Evan C. Williams and the late Mrs. Abbie Folds' Williams, of Iron City. He has a sister, Mrs. Pete Tyler, of Donalsonville. The picture was turned in to The News by Frank’s daughter, Mrs. Willie Byron Parker, of Augusta. It has been stated by Frank that he thinks the two fami lies are related very distantly. We’re taking a breather this week, but we’ll have a good one in next week’s issue. Be watching for it. We pro mise no confusing hints will be made. —o— been said that an archi tect covers his mistakes with ivy, a doctor buries his, but a newspaper spreads its as far as it can, so all can see and say goody-goody. _°_ It has occured to' me that what the post office really needs is less code and more Zip. - f t ■ -.x* We can find room for a few more letters to Sarita, ancTJf you kids hurry, the jolly old fellow can read it before this Christmas.

Take over Pamela: Dear Santa Claus, I have been a good girl this year. I am eight years old in the third grade, with all A’s on my report card. Santa, I would thank you. very much if I could have a Tammy doll, a watch, ring, and some new clothes. Santa, I am going to put you a slice of cake under the Christmas tree. Please don’t forget to leave some gifts for the underprivileged child ren. With all my love, Pamela Miller Route 5, Box 341 Colquitt, Georgia Snnalsnnutllf Single Copies: Ten Cent* VOLUME XLV Members sought for country club A group of local men have a new approach to the subject, and they seem to feel now is the time to succeed in the long efforts to establish a country clulb and golf course for the people of the commun ity. John Hanna is chairman of the committee which has sent a letter to over 200 pros pective members of the club. The letter explains the way in which the men hope to finance the project. “A few weeks ago the country clulb committee made application for a loan in the amount of $60,000.00 through the Farmers Home Adminis tration. This loan, if approv ed, would be used to construct a country club building, swimming pool, nine-hole golf course and'other recreational facilities,” the letter states. “The proposed building would be large enough to conduct banquets, dances, civic club meetings and afford our youth organizations an excellent meeting place. Such a facility would be an attrac tion to induce people to come to Donalsonville and make their home with us,” it con tinued. The cost of the center would be shared by at least a hundred citizens or busi ness firms who would pledge to pay $290.00 each, to raise the necessary equity of $20,- 000.00 Hanna says. “When and if the loan is approved, we will need to be in position to purchase appro ximately 100 acres of land and other items. We will need pledges from our citizens to meet this amount,” Hanna ex plained and he added, “This money would not be on an immediate demand basis. Ar rangements could be made to pay it over a period of time'” , . Hanna also stressed the fact that while , the proposed club would be a source of recreation and pleasure for local citizens, the country club and the facilities it would include should also be recognized as a necessity in the community’s search for industry. Industry places much im portance on the recreational facilities in a community, when they are seeking a new location, he said. Donalson ville and Seminole County find themselves at a disad vantage because no such center is already here. . Hanna also emphasized that some prospective mem bers did not get a letter. We trid to include every poten tial member, but we already know we missed quite a few. Because of this, we want to invite any citizen to feel welcome to indicate willing ness to participate.

NEWS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1963 Fl -> QUO/ |»F F < MpF * r IB ■niK’ e i m wo ■HR j waaaaaMMKi Xeitii j i NEW KIND OF “WEEK”—Members of the “Y” clubs of Seminole County High School look on as Donal sonville Mayor Arden Parker signs a proclamation of December 2-9 as “City Be Honest Week”. “It will be the duty of every citizen to think about honesty and to live honestly,” his proclamation said. Standing, left to right, are Kaye Cannington, Wanda Brooks, Danny King, Joe Hastey, Karen Ward and Mary Moseley. The special week is a local project of the combined “Y” clubs. PTA forum on college tonight at 7:30 A forum to assist students and parents in preparation for college will be held in the Donalsonville elementary school lunchroom at 7:30 on Thursday evening, Dec. 5. Leading the program will be Dr. Harry S. Downs, asso ciate director of the office of testing and guidance of the board of regents of the Uni versity system of Georgia. Dr. Downs will speak to the group on the subject, then open the proceedings to ques tions and comments. The project is being spon sored by the Seminole County PTA chapter. Its purpose is to offer to parents and stu dents information on how to determine if a child is college potential, ways to choose which college to attend, and even suggestions on financial aids that are available. Mrs. Agnes Moseley points out that the forum is not re stricted to high school stu dents. On the contrary, she says, parents of elementary school students are especially urged to attend because of the importance of each child’s preparation for higher educa tion being started in time. “As 1 the end of high school approaches, many parents be gin to panic about the next step for their child,” Mrs. Moseley said. “They begin to wonder what can be done for the child now, Should he go to college, and if so, where?” “The purpose of the forum this, week is to help parents know now what they will face when time comes for their son or daughter to go on to a college, or not,” she added. After the Thursday night program to the public, Dr. Downs will speak to the chap el gathering at the high school, to be held from 9 to 10 a. m. Here he will be available to consult and advise indivi- dual parents and students, and all interested persons are invited to the chapel program, too. Mrs. Moseley stressed that the project is intended to of fer information of importance to every student and every parent, J. B. Jenkins is chairman of the committee planning the forum, and serving with him are Mrs. Moseley, Mrs. Clark Mosely, Phil Spooner, Mrs. Roy Robinson, Mrs. Joe Kirk land, Mrs. Dorothy Dale and Mrs. Billy Jones.
