Jack (Catherine) Jennings, Ear
lier Treatment Education Chair
man and Residential Chairman
for the Crusade. Mr. Malcom
reported on the activities ac
complished during the empha
sis month. Mrs. Jennings an
nounced that eighteen programs
were presented in behalf of the
control and cure of cancer.
Miss Rebecca Pennington gave

which are available and cited the
number of cases which had been
assisted.
Ben Banks, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, presented the
report of the Mass Media Chair
man, Miss Mae Hardman.
Mr. Heald startled his listen
ers with the fact that four times
as many people die with cancer
as are killed on the highways
each weekend. He touched them
with reading the letter of Theo
dore Ward regarding his five
year old son who had cancer,
Mr. Heald, in urging that ed
ucation be of prime importance
in any community, reminded the
group that the American Cancer
Society is an emergency organ
ization whose services will no
longer be necessary when the
cure and preventatlves for this
dread disease are found. For
this reason, it is most signi
ficant that all people realize the
urgency of giving for research
and education.

That education is a year-round
endeavor was Indicated with the
program on cancer given by Ray
Reece at the Covington Rotary
Club on Tuesday, May 30, when
he was introduced by Otis Spil
lers. At the conclusion of a film,

June Opening Scheduled For Six Flags Over Ga.
Extremely favorable weather
conditions have virtually guaran
teed a mld-June opening of the
sl2 million SIX FLAGS Over
Georgia, Angus G. Wynne, pre
sident of Great Southwest Cor
poration announced today.
The 276-acre family amuse
ment center, now In the final st
ages of construction ten minutes
west of downtown Atlanta on In
terstate 20 at the Chattahoochee
River is expected to attract one
and-a-half million guests during
its Inaugural season.
SIX FLAGS will be open daily
through Labor Day from 10 a. m.
tp 10 p. m. then on weekends
through October.
More than 75 adventures,
shows and attractions await the
visitors at this adventureland of
glorious entertainment. The cost
of the one-price ticket purchased
at the main gate—s3.9s for adults
(12 years old and up) and $2.95
for children—entitles the guest
to an entire day of fast-paced
fun. The only additional costs
will be for food and souvenirs.
SIX FLAGS Over Georgia Is
comparable in concept and scope
to Its Dallas/Fort Worth counter
part SIX FLAGS Over Texas.
Mr. Wynne explained the park’s
name Is based on the dominant
flags of Georgia’s past.
“They are the true symbols
for the history of this dynamic
and colorful area,” Mr. Wynne
stated. The flags represent Eng
land, France, Spain, The Con
federacy, The United States and
Georgia.
Parking space for 6,000 cars
has been provided and “Com
muter” trams will transport the
guests from the lots to the en
trance and return.
The atmosphere at SIX FLAGS
will be one of cleanliness and
hospitality. To that end the
management will hire a work
force of 1,200 college students.
86 young men alone will act as
“sanitation engineers” - their
single responsibility will be to
keep the park clean and well
maintained. “These young peo
ple will act as ‘hosts’ and ‘hos
tesses,’,” the GSC president ex
plained. “They will operate the
rides and concessions, particl-

Some of the top professional
talent in the country has been
retained to design the park and
all its rides and attractions.
Randall Duell, noted California
architect and prime designer of
SIX FLAGS Over Texas did the
early architectural planning on
SIX FLAGS Over Georgia. Hans
Peters, a veteran of 32 years in
Hollywood where he won Academy
Award nomination for his contri
bution to such notable films as
“Battleground,” “The Red Badge
of Courage” and “The Americ
anization of Emily,” has been
engaged as permanent art di
rector. Assisting Mr. Peters in
art direction and design Is Gene
Patrick.
Each of the park’s six sectors
includes various rides and at
tractions and there will be a min
imum of 20,000 guests a day.

Huge air conditioner units will
hang over the queue lines to keep
guests comfortable In the sum
mer heat.
However, fun is the watchword
at SIX FLAGS. The Plantation
Ride will carry guests by boat
through a pitch black tunnel on a
winding trip as animated animals
re-enact scenes similar to the
Uncle Remus stories. SIX
FLAGS’ guests will be transfor
med for the moment into astro
nauts as they literally soar over
the park in the “Astrolift” built
in Switzerland. In boats carved
from hollowed-out trees, guests
will ride the nervetingling Log
Flume, racing up and down a
swirling water course, through
harrowing troughs to a thrilling
climax.
Summing up the goals of SIX
FLAGS Over Georgia,Mr.Wynne
stated, “Our park will be a place
of beauty where people can bring
their family and friends and have
the time of their lives.”
