Gracious, Mercy Me! Our
chest expansion is to the burst
ing point! Sure we are so proud
of our Newton Rams! Last year
Avondale just mopped up with
us . . . but this year the Rams
made a great come-back . . .
Avondale favorite team, of
course ... we all thought, had
the Rams literally scared to
death . . . but they did a mag
nificent work with Avondale
... in a tie game . . . just wait
until next year boys and girls
. . . and see what the Rams
do! Our outstanding player
Ed Hertwig was honored at
the Dinkler-Plaza Hotel this
week . . , and how this thrills
us all . . . The Atlanta Touch
down Club presented him with
a certificate designating him
as THE OUTSTANDING LINE
MAN of the week in all GEOR
GIA! Congratulations Ed from
the Office Boy and the entire
NEWS staff.
We are not only proud of
the Rams . . . but of Richard
Priest and his Newton Hi-
Band which gave moral sup
port in a beautiful manner to
the Rams . . . and those Cheer
Leaders! What a boost they
gave their team . . . We are
justly proud of each one who
had the smallest part in sup
porting the team to a great
victory for us in a tie with
Avondale.

City Natural Gas Users Asked
To Make Applications Now
The City Gas Department
urges citizens who are planning
to change, or install natural
gas for the coming winter, to
apply immediately at the City
Hall for this service to avoid
the last minute rush for gas
service.
Gas crews are working con
tinuously to insure all services
are completed for cold weather.
However, applications must be
received as soon as possible
for this to be done.
Gas applications are taken
at the City Hall, and, if your
home is located within 75 feet
of the gas main, no charge is
made for the service Line,
other than the SIO.OO meter
deposit, which is required on
all users. The Gas Department
has a SI.OO charge for turning
gas off at the meter, and SI.OO
charge to turn gas on again,
and in no case should anyone
turn on gas other than an
authorized city employee.
