The main theme of the
meeting was why Clayton
County needs a hospital and
and the vital necessity of
getting citizens out to vote
on the Sept. 1 bond election
date.
It was pointed out by
Chairman Hastings the hos
pital will cost taxpayers a
maximum of one mil>—or $1
per thousand dollars of as
sessed evaluation—and that
the Authority will submit
hospital sites convenient to
the most people.
A Hill-Burton Hospital
would help to attract in
dustry because that is one

Bider d when industry plans
to move into a permanent
location.

ihe hospital each year.

Fountain
Will Use
Kiwanis
Gridiron
High school football practice
is on again and next Monday
begins in earnest all over Clay
ton County and the state.
Coaches called out their hope
fuls last Monday for the first
time but they worked this week
in shorts and T shirts. Monday
they’ll don pads.
Besides all the new players
who will replace the old in the
four county high schools, there
will be something else new this
Fall. W. A. Fountain school
of Rosetown will play all of its
five home games at Kiwanis
Field instead of on its own
school field.
Its school field was lighted at
dedication ceremonies Tuesday
night but it will be used only for
practice, negro midget and Lit
tle League football and base
ball, band practice, drills, etc.
A year ago Fountain High play
ed its final home game at Ki
wanis field, marking the first
time it has used the park. For
est Park High will continue to
play its games there, of
course, on Friday nights—ex
cept for road games.
The home dates for the Rams
Sept. 4— Saturday.
Sept. 10— Friday.
Oct. 14— Thursday.
Oct. 22— Friday.
Oct. 28— Thursday.
Sept. 3 will be opening night
for the Panthers who will en
gage their bitter rivals, the
North Clayton Eagles, before
a packed and overflowing
crowd.
Coach Fred Bowers of Forest
Park, who In his first football
season here won 4 and lost 6
and yielded to N. Clayton only
14-12, reports he has 34 play
ers on his varsity against 30
last year.
Coach Bud Amsler at Jones
boro High, with a 3-7 record
last year, hopes for improve
ment but says his squad will
be very light from tackle to
tackle. His main loss was Joel
Smith, brilliant quarterback.
He is hopeful that Mike Tal
lant will step into that position
and handle it adequately.

The event will highlight open
ing of the first nine holes of
Lakeshore’s championship 18-
hole course on scenic Lake
Spivey. The Paul Holm Co.,
which specializes in organiza
tion and management of private
country clubs, has produced
the necessary capital through
membership development the
past year to complete such
facilities as an Olymplc-slze 1
[ swimming pool, tennis courts
NUMBER 116
and private yacht basin at
Lakeshore, Clayton County’s
only private country club. The
Holm firm retains Snead as a
special staff consultant.
Snead has won every major
golf championship in the world
with the exception of the U.S.
Open. Earlier this year he beat
out golf’s current top money
winners, Including Gary Play
er, Arnold Palmer and Tony
Lerna, at the Greensboro Open.
He recently defeated Jack Nick
laus at match play In St. Louis.
His opponent, Goodloe, is well
known to Georgia golfing fans.
Look for a slam-bang contest of
driving and an even closer bat
tle of wits.
The Paul Holm Co., with oper
ations in the eastern U.S. and
the Bahamas, has recently
moved its headquarters to At
lanta to take advantage of the
city’s centralized location. Re
sponsible for developing the
successful ski resort at Gatlin
burg, Tenn., the firm is cur
rently constructing the Parthe
non Club, and exclusive riding
and racquet club, in West At
