famed Rebin Lake Beach Sat
urday, April 13, and before the

his death in 1955.
Mrs. Lamon finds her career
very time consuming; but en
joys hiking and outdoor re

time.
She is finding a warm wel
come in Allen Memorial
Methodist Church, as well as
the community life of Oxford
and Newton County.
From Hawkinsville come Mr.

life.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
summer is over, the four mil
lionth person to visit the Gar
dens since its opening in 1952
will have passed through the
gates.
In 1962, over a half million
people visited Callaway Gar
dens. The one-day attendance
record was broken in 1962,
when 14,109 people visited the
Gardens on May 26.
Gardens President Howard
H. Callaway said that attend
ance last year "gave us added
proof that the public wants
clean, wholesome recreation”
and pledged that the Gardens
would continue to provide such
recreation.
The latest innovation at Rob
in Lake Beach, noted for its
unusual pavilions and its water
ski tournaments, is a new con
crete dock for the novelty boat
lake. This dock will berth all
the canoes and pedal boats
which visitors enjoy on Chick
adee Lake and, via Kingfisher
Canal, on Martin Lake.
Special events at Robin Lake
this year include the return of
the Florida State University
Circus on June 15 for their
third summer at Callaway Gar
dens. This talented troupe of
collegians stages its famous
flying and acrobatic circus
nine times each week at Robin
Lake, under a gaily striped cir
cus tent. In addition, the stu-

Service, North Georgia Con
ference. She stated that the
response to the request for con

for the establishment of a
nursing scholarship in honor
of Mrs. Arthur Styron, retir
ing president, had been over
whelming. In addition to this
tribute, Mrs. Styron was pre
sented a Sustaining Life Mem
bership in the W.S.C.S., which
is the highest honor conferred
on a woman by the Methodist
Church.
Another high point of the
conference was the presence
of the retired missionaries in
the conference who were
guests. Their combined years
of service for the Methodist
Church in the mission field
totaled 734 years.
Miss Lucy Banks, Vice
president, stated that the Cot
