GUY UNES BY GUY BUTLEB
Stupidity
One of those foolish signs and
slogans you find around on walls
shows a man sitting at his desk
looking quite blank.
“You know why I sit here like
this looking stupid?” he quer
ies, and then answers his own:
“Because I’M STUPID.”
The guy is perfectly exem-
plified by At
lanta Polict
Chief Herbert
Jenkins whc
lengthily to
the Buckhead
Exchange Club
gives out de
claring that
"Senator Rus
sell is behind
the times.
He is trying’ to
stop the calendar by holding on
to the status quo and traditions
of 1910.”
Jenkins added that he “sub
scribes 100 per cent to the
public accomodations all. of
local and national leadershi.
“I believe the time is coming
when a man operating a busi
ness under a government lic
ense cannot operate on a se
gregated basis.”
It is the accomodations por
tion of the bill that Sen. Rus
sell and his Southern colleagues
are fighting tooth and toenail
and which, many brilliant minds
have determined, will under
mine freedom and take away
people’s personal and property
rights, and so on.
Mr. Jenkins, in taking issue
with Georgia and Southern tra
dition and bucking the majority
opinion of the people (taxpayers)
for whom he works, is in ef
fect low-rating the Senator’s
thinking and judgement and set
ting himself up as smarter than
the Georgia lawmaker. If he is
a superior thinker then he
should be somewhere other than
head of a police department. If
his judgement is better than
Mr. Russell’s he belongs in
Washington for certainly they
can use some brilliant men in
the nation’s capital.

CITY MANAGER RESIGNS,
CONTRACT AWARDED SMITH CO.
FOR CITY STREET PAVING
John C. Hoffman, city manager of Forest
Park since last October, has submitted his
resignation effective as of April 10, he
revealed yesterday.
“I do not fully agree with some of the economic program
of the City Council,” he said, “but there was no friction with
the Council or the Mayor. Indeed, I informed them I would
remain on if they like after the resignation date until they find
a replacement.”
One of the main reasons for quitting, he declared, was that
his hearing is not so good anymore and that interferes with
his work considerably.
Mr. Hoffman, who is 63, has a
home In Forsyth, Ga., and said
he may retire there for a time,
but he also, as an old land and
shopping center developer, may
enter into business in Atlanta,
he said.
At its Monday night meeting,
City Council and the city mana
ger opened bids for repairing
and resurfacing some 35
streets in Forest Park. About
15 miles will be worked over
but the County is taking charge
of one-third of that thus leav
ing some 10 miles for the Jack
Smith Contracting Co. of At
lanta, the low bidder.
There were three bids opened
on this work, estimated to cost
between SBO,OOO and SIOO,OOO,
and the Smith company was low

Forest Park’s Gold Beats Wine,
30-0; Kicker Is Discovered
Two of Clayton County’s three white high schools have had their
spring climactic intra-squad football games and at least one
coach, Milton McDonald of Forest Park High, is quite enthusi
astic over the drilling plus what he saw in the contest.
Forest Park’s Gold team slap
ped it on the Wine last Fri
day night, 30 to 0, as several
fine new prospects were uncov
ered, notably a point-after kic
ker.
“That was the biggest thrill
of all to me,’’ said Coach Mc-
Donald. “In the entire five years
I’ve been here we’ve been with
out a man to smack that ball
between the goal posts and I
don’t know how many games
we’ve lost and how many ties
we’ve missed thereby.
“It has been our custom, in
view of this important lack, to
try to run the ball over for the
extra point and our success at
that has not been phenomenal.”
The new kicking “sensation,”
McDonald revealed, is named
~ Steve Pierce and he kicked all
four points after touchdowns
last Friday night before about
2,000 spectators.
"It really gave me a lift,”
said Coach Mac. “And I was
also surprised at the power and
finesse displayed by the Gold
team which actually had more
new boys --those up from the
B team -- than the Wine.”
The Wine, incidentally, had
two touchdowns calledback, one
by Ronnie Stroupe and the other
by Mack Bass, two boys upon
whom the team is depending
next Fall to round out a vast
ly improved offense.
Frank Cates, acenter; Tommy
Burge, a guard; Tommy Broad
well, a halfback; Dwight Pep
pers, quarterback on the Wine,
plus kicker Pierce were some
of the standouts who impres
sed McDonald and his staff.
Peppers especially starred
with nine completed passes out
of 14 attempts and 91 yards
gained rushing all by himself.
The old standbys came thro
ugh, too. Julian Akin scored a
TD from 12 yards; Waren
Vaughan scored a couple, from
15 and 3 yards, and also peg
ged one to Kenneth Prock for a
touchdown, the pitch-and-run
eating up 45 yards. A safety
netted the two more points.
Glenn Payne, end and line-
square yard of repairing and
resurfacing.
McDoual-Warren co. was se
cond low with 7" cents per
yard and Mullins Bros. Pav
ing co. was high with $1.25.
Mr. Hoffman said the city
would have to add to that the
cost of raising manhole covers
and casings around water val
ves.
The Smith company expects to
start work in two or three
weeks, patching where it is
needed and pouring 11/2 inches
of asphalt surfacing.
“Our procedure will be to in
vite the property owners of each
street, one street at a time,
to meet with us. It will take
50 per cent of the residences
representing 75 per cent of the
property frontage on a street
backer; Ken Prock, end; Jim
my Betsill, tackle and blocker;
Danny Payne, guard, and
Glenn Baker, now moved to
halfback were others singled out
by McDonald for praise.
“I have to admit,” smiled

to sign an agreement before the
work is started.
He said the total outlaw of
each property owner would run
not over $1 per front foot, thus
the owner of a 100-foot front
age would be assessed SIOO.
They would have three years
to pay, if they prefer.
The streets in worst need will
be taken up first.
Hoffman said they also decided
to up the residential building
code to make it comparable
to Atlanta and surrounding
cities.
Milton, “that things seem to be
looking up.”
Last year the Panthers won
only two and the year before
one. “So,” the coach concluded,
“it is about time.”
Actually, Forest Park does
not have its final of 28 days’
practice until today but they
moved the intra-squad game up
a few nights because of the pres
sure of other school business.
David McMullen, all of whom
have ability.
Frank Hancock is the only

Coach Avenger is looking for

Avenger expects to have a much
