Modified Stocks
To Run Sunday
At AIR Track
ATLANTA—An even better
and more expanded field of
cars and drivers is now possi
ble for the rain-postponed Na
tional Championship 500-Mile
Modified stock car race at the
Atlanta International Raceway
next Sunday, September 22.
A.I.R. officials were holding
58 signed entries from NASCAR
drivers and car owners, but
not all of them were able to
prepare the cars in time for
the original date of the world’s
longest modified stock car race.
Already, officials have re
ceived phone calls from several
owners who report that the
week’s postponement will en
able them to be ready.
NASCAR officials, headed by
Executive Manager Pat Pur
cell and Chief Steward Pete
Keller devised a schedule that
will protect the position of the
drivers and owners already in
Atlanta, but which will also
reopen the entry list to new
comers.
All 36 cars which were ready
to run last Sunday, have been
impounded under guard at the
Raceway, locked in the Garage
Area.
The track will reopen Thurs
day for practice for all cars
and drivers.
The 24 cars which have al
ready been qualified for the
race, through time trials last
week, will hold their starting
positions in the Race Day line
up next Sunday.
On Friday, the remaining 12
cars now in the Garage Area
will be permitted qualification
time trial attempts, thus pro
viding them with the advantage
they have earned by their
prompt arrival at the Raceway.
All others, which arrive at
the Raceway this week, wheth
er previous entries or new en
tries will be admitted to quali
fication time trials on Satur
day. The fastest 50 cars and
drivers will start Sunday’s race

Night Fishing
Techniques Given
Among experienced anglers
night fishing has long been re
cognized as an effective means
of hooking big trout, walleye,
bass, and several other species
of fish which become quite act
ive in their feeding activities
after sunset.
Recently, wily anglers have
been literally “shedding new
light” on the traditional app
roach to nocturnal fishing. Al
though not popular in all parts
of the country as yet, fishing
with lights has scored some im
pressive results in widely
scattered areas.
Equipment for this type of
fishing, say the Mercury out
board experts, includes a boat,
motor, standard fishing gear, a
pair of gasoline lanterns, re
flectors and some sort of device
for holding the lanterns out
over the water. Live minnows
are the recommended type of
bait, but artificials in the form
of jigs, flasher spoons, and
plastic worms can also be
effective.
When the boat is anchored,
the lanterns are lit and hung
over the gunwales of the boat,
several inches from the water.
Reflectors, which can be made
from heavy foil or tin, are
placed so that most of the light
is directed downward.
The light attracts insects and
other aquatic life, which in
turn attract shad and other
small bait fish. This concent
ration of food is irresistible to
larger game fish. Soon, they’ll
appear and commence snatch
ing your offerings with the
same abandon that they do
other available food.
Once the action starts, it’s
usually fast and furious. School
fish, such as crappie and white
bass, are particularly suscept
ible to this type of fishing.
And, report the Mercury folks,
even walleyes and big trout
have been taken by fishermen
using this lantern technique.
Hinton Gains Yardaqe in Friday's Game
JEFFREY HINTON (No. 17), Ram fullback, picks up a gain
in the Ram-Rockdale County game Friday at Conyers. Help
ing make the stop is Rockdale's Larry Smith (No. 42). Hinton
scored two touchdowns in the NCHS 19-0 victory Friday.
Stone Mountain
Scenic Streetcar
Makes Its Debut
“An attraction within an at
traction. ..” that’s what
they’re calling the new Stone
Mountain Scenic Streetcar . . .
the Dinkey.
Again reaching back in time,
the Stone Mountain Scenic
Railroad resurrected an old
1910 streetcar from Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, had it shipped to
Atlanta and put it into the
hands of the Atlana Transit
System for a full-scale rejuve
nation and modernization.
Working from blueprints
created by the late Leo Johnson
of the Transit System, work
crews stripped the old car
down to the bare metal and
started the painstaking task of
reconditioning and replacing
parts.
From bell to bumper, the
dinghy old streetcar was gradu
ally transformed into a “brand
new” old streetcar complete
with a powerful, new GMC die
sel engine, air brakes and the
latest in modern safety devices.
Inside and out, special care was
taken to preserve the original
appearance of this ancient
traveler, from handcrank-ope
rated doors to rattan seats.
The finished product is a 40-
passenger vehicle that offers a
smooth comfortable ride and 1
THE COVINGTON NEWS
an unobstructed view of the
awe-inspiring mountain pano
rama. The trip ‘round the
mountain also includes a detail
ed commentary on the history,
folklore and facts about this
wonder of the world which has
attracted millions.
This newest of Stone Moun
tain Memorial Park attractions
will operate rain or shine Tues
days through Fridays from 10
a. m. to 5 p. m. at special re
duced fares. On weekends, the
now famous Stone Mountain
Scenic Railroad Show-Train
will operate from 10 a. m. to 5
p. m. complete with smoke
belching steam engines

Cooler Georgia Water
Beginning to Stir Fish
Some improvement with
cooler water temperatures in
rather slow summer fishing
has been noted by fishermen
on the northern lakes, includ
ing Allatoona ana Lanier.
Salt water fishing is in the
transition from summer off
shore mackerel fishing to in
shore fall fishing for trout and
channel bass. During the cur
rent spring tide with Northeast
winds prevailing, muddy water
makes for poor fishing.
