Mathews Night Should Be
Brave Highlight Os Season
Interest in Eddie Mathews
Night, Tuesday, September 27,
has been so great that it is cer
tain to be one of the highlights
of the 1966 Atlanta Braves sea
son.
The Braves ‘'4oo” Club, spon
sor of the event, reports that gifts
for the Braves’ Captain have been
pouring in. Also, contributions
in Eddie’s name, to the Scottish
Rite Children’s Hospital in De
catur, have been coming in stead
ily.
It was Mathews’ request that
any monetary contributions on
his night be made to the famous
hospital which subsists strictly
on contributions and doesn’t ac
cept any payment for treatment
of indigent children.
For a contribution of $1 or
more, fans will receive a special
lapel button to wear on that night
and an autographed picture of
Captain Eddie. The buttons may
be purchased at the Braves down
town offices and advance ticket
windows at the stadium. They
will also be on sale each night
during the game. Mail order
contributions should be ad

career which had its beginning
for the Atlanta Crakers 16 years
ago.
While Mathews Night will be
the highlight of the final home

from the three-out-four defeats
the Braves handed them last
road trip.
After the Pirates, San Franci
sco will be in town for a three

The Nelson Brothers, Onie
Wheeler, and Jimmy Fox.
On Fan Appreciation Day the
Braves will be giving away many
terrific gifts to their terrific
fans, who have made the first year
in Atlanta a great one.
Holiday Travel
In a survey of the public’s
reaction to Memorial Day holi
day traffic on the highways,
here’s how they rated it: 16
per cent said it was worse than
they expected ; .33 per cent said
it was about what they ex
pected, but a happy 51 per cent
said the traffic situation was
better than they had dreaded.
The super-highways of the In
terstate System, over which
much of the holiday traffic
flowed, were doing a good job
getting people to their destina
tions-and back again.
“I shoot golf in the low 70’s.
If it gets any colder I quit.”
Demand For Recreation Outgrows Facilities;
Look To Private Land For Needed Expansion
A sleeping giant shows signs
of awakening in Georgia.
The giant is outdoor rec
reation, already a $l5O million
annual business and destined to
grow to $225 million by 1970,
experts believe. The demand
for outdoor recreation will more
than double by 1975, they say.
What aroused the sleeping
giant? Let Wayne D. O’Stean,
Extension Service resource de
velopment specialist at the Uni
versity of Georgia, provide the
answer:
“More people have more
money and more leisure time
than ever before,” he said. ‘‘Bet
ter roads and cars help us go
farther, faster. With money,
time, and transportation at his
command, the urban or suburban
dweller can cater to his desire
to return to the country from
whence he came—to swim, boat,
fish, hike, and take part in a
host of other outdoor recreation
activities that only the open land,
with its waters and wildlife, can
provide.
“In addition,’ Mr. O’Stean
continued, “the sleeping giant
is stirring because more rural
Georgians--landowners and far-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
mers—are developing plans to
get a slice of the outdoor rec
reation dollar.”
And he believes this is a favor
able trend, both for the farmer
and the recreation enthusiast—
and for Georgia’s overall eco
nomy. The resource develop
ment specialist said there is no
question that Georgia lacks rec
reation facilities, and added “the
greatest need is around our cit
ies.”
Although recreation areas in
National and State Parks are
expanding at a record rate, they
cannot expand rapidly enough to
keep up with the pyramiding de
mand for facilities, he believes.
And even if they could, there
just isn’t enough public land
available for the needed expan
sion.
“So we must look to land in
private ownership,” Mr. O’Stean
declared. Many private develop
ments in Georgia already provide
year-round recreation, he stated,
and there is much more land in
small private holdings that is
suitable for outdoor recreation
facilities.
Citing examples of how small
landowners can play a big part
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
in meeting the growing demand,
Mr. O’Stean said one farmer sold
fishing rights to his pond to 20
families at $75 per family per
year. (The farmer will net about
$1,200 from the enterprise.)
Another constructed and fur
nished six cabins on lake site.
Horseback riding, fishing, and
farm vacationing are provided,
and the “No Vacancy” sign is
out much of the year. Yet
another farmer is developing his
380-acre farm into a hunting pre
serve, leaving his present crop
land undisturbed.
The recreation facilities them
selves are only part of the pic
ture, Mr. O’Stean pointed out.
Vacationers, campers, and pic
nickers buy food, gasoline, fish
ing tackle, camera supplies, and
a host of other products. They
rent boats, motors, and horses:
they attend fairs, festivals, plays
and sports events.
Mr. O’Stean believes more in
dividuals and communities will
benefit from outdoor recreation
projects when they realize that
recreation-like livestock, row
crops, and vegetables--is a sal
able crop.

Steve Piper, the battering Ram fullback, has an excellent ball
carrying average through the four games the NCHS eleven has played.
In 35 carries he has a total of 178 yards. That’s an average of 5.1
yards per lug. . .Assistant Tech Coach Lewis Woodruff has been at
The Flats for 20 years. He says that this year’s Tech backfield is the
fastest he has seen. Only one regular (Doc Harvin) runs the 100 in
over 10 seconds. . .Elaborate plans are being made for the Newton
Blue Rambler Band’s appearance at the Falcon-Pittsburgh game in
Atlanta on Dec. 18.
Tech’s two tailbacks started off the game Saturday in fine style.
Jimmy Brown made 18 yards the first time he ran from scrimmage,
and Lenny Snow reeled off 17 yards on his first carry .... The
38-3 victory over Texas A&M was the 400th triumph for Georgia
Tech in its long football skein. The win was Coach Bobby Dodd’s
157th since he assumed the head coaching job 21 years ago ...
More than 2,000 high school band members were on hand for the
initial 1966 game at Grant Field. The majorettes put on a
sparkling show at halftime.
The Georgia Bulldogs have four terrific home games at Sanford
Stadium. The first home tilt is Oct. 8 with Mississippi, Kentucky
is the homecoming game on Oct. 22, North Carolina comes to Athens
on Oct. 29, and Tech concludes the season at Sanford Field on
Nov. 26 . . . Tift County high is one of the better teams of South
Georgia. The principal is Charles Cate, former executive of the
Georgia High School Association in Thomaston.
Baldwin County coach E. J. Lundy has apparently gone in for
underclassmen this football season. He had two seniors in his
Starting team here Friday night . . . The Bulldogs went at
tooth-and-toe Saturday night at Jackson, Miss. For the third time
in recent years a field goal settled the battle with the Ga. Bulldogs
winning 20-17 . . . Opening football games in the Midwest were
well-attended with capacity crowds on hand to see Arkansas-
Okla. State, and the Nebraska-TCU tussle.
It could be that the San Francisco Giants of the National League
may come up with two 25-game winners this season in Juan Marichal
and Gaylord Perry. . .Covington’s Jack Meadors says that Georgia
Tech will have a season record of 8-2 and that Georgia will have a
7-3 slate. . .“The owner of a compact car put a rabbit in his tank...
for short hops.” (The Bibb Recorder).
Southeastern football writers for the large daily newspapers
toured the SEC in a group this fall. Their poll of the SEC for 1966
is interesting. They selected Alabama first, Tenn, second, Ole
Miss third, Georgia fourth and LSU fifth. . .The Astrodome in
Houston seats 66,000 for boxing. The Clay-Williams fight will be
held there Nov. 14. . .George Patton originally came to the Georgia
Bulldogs as a quarterback. Now he’s an All-American tackle.
After all, the Atlanta Braves are drawing real well at the gate.
They haven’t been in the first division of the league all season
(until yesterday), and stand to draw a million and a half at the
Stadium turnstiles. . .Believe it or not, the College football school
that has won more games is Yale, with 607 victories. . .Controlled
bloc voting continues to keep certain college football teams high
in the various poHs. Michigan State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ar
kansas and Alabama are riding a wave of “popularity”.
It is interesting to note that three of the greatest coaches in the
South have records somewhat similar. Bear Bryant of Alabama
has won a career total of 160 games. Bobby Dodd has won 156, and
Johnny Vuaght of Ole Miss has 149. . .We like to read other sports
writer’s columns and often come across something to pass along to

Summer’s End -- Don’t Make It Tragic
By Dean Wohlgemuth
The kids are back in school.
The summer is fading fast, and
vacation time Is already just a
memory to most folks.
Yet there Is one last, brief
reprieve before we settle down
to our tasks for another long
year until the next summer sea
son.
Indian Summer! Those last
few warm days of summer in
September, that are so Inviting
to outdoor recreation. Just as
surely as spring’s warm breath
means, for most outdoor fam
ilies, the beginning of the new
season of fun, sun and water
sports, Indian Summer brings
the outdoor season to a close.
And just as huge throngs open
the vacation season in spring
In various ways, such as pic
nics, boating, swimming, camp
ing, fishing and similar outings,
Indian Summer draws the cur
tains together In the same fash
ion.
Perhaps In spring, Wildlife
Rangers of the State Game and
Fish Commission may tend to
make excuses for the public if
people are a little careless on the
water, while participating In their
favorite sports. After all, it’s
Fish Aren’t Slowpokes
When an angler claims a fish
“took off like a shot,’’ one may
envision the sudden departure
of a Titan missile, and to the
guy on the short end of the rod
at the time, it certainly seems
that way.
The speeds which many game
fish can achieve dispel any not
ion that a fisherman can “fish
too fast.’’ In fact, say the fishing
experts at Mercury outboards,
when you consider the sprints of
some saltwater billfish, there’s
no fishing boat in existence that
could stay even close.
According to studies, sword
fish are able to reach speeds of
about 70 miles an hour; marlin
can score in the 50’s. Tuna,
normally considered pot-bellied
heavyweights, can hussle along
better than 40 mph.
On the freshwater scene,
speeds are a great deal slower.
But on small-spool reels their
effects are equally spectacular.
And, when compared with the top
speed of most fishing skiffs, some
freshwater species are more than
equal in the dashes.
In the broad classification of
Salmo, Atlantic salmon and brown
trout have been clocked at 23
mph. This isn’t too bad when
you realize this pace may be
Thursday, September 22, 1966
been a long winter and a lot of
people haven’t been out before,
this year. They’re a little rusty
on boatmanship and swimming.
Maybe that’s why there are so
many accidents.
But what can we do to alibi
for those that have accidents
ranging from relatively minor
mishaps to major tragedies late
In the summer season? The
folks have been taking the family
outings all summer. What’s
the reason?
Perhaps It’s apathy—overcon
fidence and lack of respect for
the dangers of big bodies of
water, brought on by familiarity
through constant contact with wa
ter during the summer.
Or perhaps It’s just plain care
lessness—the kind of careless
ness that most people get away
with most of the time, but soon
er or later their carelessness
catches up with them. Their
luck runs out.
Folks in Georgia were right
careful for the most part this
summer. For example, they
prevented a single drowning ac
cident from occurring over July
4th for the second straight year.
Let’s start a record for trag
edy-free weekends.
four or five times faster than
most trolling speeds. This mark
earns even more prestige when
compared against the timed man
euver by the fabled bonefish
whose measured best is one mph
slower -- and the bonefish is
known as a speedster !
Actually the speed of different
fishes is relative—to size, to
type of water, to equipment, etc.
—for even a bluegill seems roc
ket-powered to a five-year-old,
note the Mercury folks.
The obvious conclusion,
though, is that you can’t fish
too fast if fish really want to
strike. But most of the ones
we catch seem to be on the
lazy side.
Dip your new net in linseed
oil and let dry. Net will last
three times longer.
SHARP HOOKS
Glue a piece of emery cloth to
the inside of your tackle box.
Hooks can be sharpened anytime
on it.
CLEAN HANDS
Take fish smell off hands like
this: Wash hands in lemon juice
or toothpaste.
