FOREST PARK HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS OF 357 BOYS AND GIRLS
Methodists
Tackle
Integration
ST. SIMONS ISLAND — More
than 800 delegates will open
the 100th anniversary session
of the South Georgia annual
conference of the Methodist
Church here June 6.
A large volume of reports
will face delegates for consi
deration when they meet at
Epworth-by-the-Sea, a 325-
acre Methodist assembly center
on Frederica River. Reports
will range from church exten
sion and missions to finances
and social concerns.
Annual conferences are held by
Methodists each year to hear
reports on various church pro
grams and to outline plans for
the new church year. Georgia
Methodists are divided Into two
geographical bodies, the North
and South Georgia Conferences.
North Georgia includes 212,
000 Methodists, South Georgia
148,000. An equal number of
laymen and ministers arenam
ed as delegates to the June an
nual conferences.
Methodists In South Georgia
are expected to register gains
in church membership and
church school attendance this
year. Increases in financial giv
ing will also be reported. The
conference will be asked to a
dopt a total annual budget of
$978,492. This figure does not
Include local church operational
budgets.
Receiving chief attention will
be a resolution dealing with
abolition of the all-Negro Cen
tral Jurisdiction. Delegates to
the St. Simons meeting will be
asked to vote for the resolu
tion which will pave the way
toward racial Inclusiveness In
the Methodist Church In the
southeast. The proposed re
solution Is step one of a three
step plan adopted by the Gen
eral Conference, lawmaking
body of the denomination. The
first step opens the door for
further study and negotiation
with Negro Methodists. The
first step will require a two
thirds vote of the annual con
ference for passage. To achi
eve actual integration on the an
nual conference level and in
local churches, two additional
votes must be taken. No time
table has been set bn steps
two and three.
Vets Home Loans
Money for direct home loans
is readily available to eligible
Georgia veterans, Pete Wheel
er, director, Georgia Dept, of
Veterans Service, said.
Under this program, the Ve
terans Administration itself can
make loans up to $17,500 to eli
gible World War 11, Korean,
and jPost Korean veterans for
the purchase of homes in non
metropolltan areas, Wheeler
said.

APOLOGY TO MR. EDMONDS
Sometimes it happens In the best regulated newspapers. And
it happened in The News last week. Quite Inadvertently, in
the rush of getting to press, the signature of Mr. Ed Edmonds
appeared under a “Congratulations Grads” ad that had to do
with something else—a laundry.
This paper hastens to apologize to the County superinten
dent of Schools and run the ad In this Issue as he—and we—
would have wanted It.
Being a man of rare perspicacity and understanding human
nature and human frailties, Mr. Edmonds very graciously
accepted the error in stride.
Once more, we offer our apology to the Superintendent and
promise that It won’t happen again.
Born in Ilkeston, Derbyshire,
England, Brig. Needham came
to the U.S. in 1924 with his
parents, who were Salvation
Army Officers. He married the
former Florence Jolly in 1935
and in 1939 they were both com
missioned as Salvation Army
officers. Among his many as
signments, Brig. Needham has
served as Youth Secretary to
the National Capitol Division
at Washington.
Active in social work Brig.
Needham Is a member of the
Academy of Certified Social
Workers, the Atlanta Kiwanls
Club, the National Assn, of
Social Workers, the National
Conference on Social Welfare,
the American Public Welfare
Assn, and the State Commis
sion on Aging,

GUY LINES
BY GUY BUTLER
Well, fellow baseball fans,
let’s fact it:
Unless some- .
thing is done, 1
and that with
in two or three
weeks, to im
prove the ap
pearance and
performance ।
of our Braves,
there probably
will be no pen
nant flying
over Atlanta
Stadium come fall.
Messrs. John McHale, BIU
Bartholomay and Bobby Bragan
have been quite patient this
month and a half of the sea
son already done, and along
with It a fourth of the season’s
games. But the team hasn’t got
going as a unit, bouncing a
round In the second division
most of the way.
True, Injuries have played a
part, such as Mack Jones’
shoulder surgery that kept him
out over a month at the start;
Denis Menke was slowed and
kept out of several games with
a leg Injury; Joe Torre has had
two or three minor mishaps;
Gene Oliver, was hors de com
bat for a time; Bolling has
likewise been ailing.
Still, the club had pretty ade
quate replacements for all those
men and didn’t suffer too much
by their absence, except per
haps In a hitting way.
The main deficiency has been
in the pitching department.
Os course, the Braves traded
Lee Thomas off for Ted Aber
nathy, a very good relief hur
ler, the other day and Atlanta
may wind up the beneficiary
from that swap. The bullpen
was hardly a world-beater al
though O’Dell has done well.
Carroll and Olivo have had
their good spots and bad. Arnie
Umbach, a SIOO,OOO bonus baby
several years ago, wound up
strong with Atlanta last season
but he has done little to help
the Braves this year. Nlekro
has been just so-so.
It Is In the regular pitching
line that the team has not held
up. Clonlnger, a sensation last
year, and Blaslngame have
been the two chief disappoint
ments on the hilltop.
If they could right themselves
and begin winning the day might
be saved. Otherwise, Manager
Bragan Is going to require
another dependable hurler. At
least one, two wouldn’t be bad.
To be sure, acquiring winning
twirlers is no part of a cinch
job.
With Lee Thomas gone, the
Braves have little they can
afford to offer as trade bait.
They wouldn’t trade Aaron,
Alou, Menke, Torre or Clon
lnger. They can’t afford to get

Managers Outlast
Morrow’s Daddies
The much-heralded game be
tween the Daddies and the Man
agers was played last Saturday
at the Morrow Little League
field and what a game it was!
Both teams played excellent
softball, although most of the
men hadn’t practiced at all.
The turnout of spectators was
something to behold being one
of the largest crowds ever as
sembled on our field. The game,
which lasted seven Innings, was
a hard-fought battle, and the
Managers managed to win 14
to 6.
Everyone agreed It was a lot
of fun, and perhaps we can have
a re-match in the near future.
Following the game, little
Master Terry Hoffman drew
the winning entry from the box
for the General Electric port
able television, which was won
by Leo Smith, 100 Flamingo
Way, Morrow. Mr. Smith was
thrilled with his prize, as he
said he had never won anything
in his life, We are proud to
be able to contribute to his
happiness, and we certainly ap
preciate all the contributions
everyone made to our organi
zation.
We only wish we could have
rewarded each person. Also,
we must thank our members
who have worked so valiantly
to help us In our projects.
Certainly we must name Wiley

G. Poul Jones Enters
Congress Race, To
Oppose John J. Flynt
G, Paul Jones, Georgia State Republican chairman, announces
he is a candidate for Congress representing the Sixth Dis
trict, opposing Democrat John J. Flynt.
Jones, now serving as a Bibb County legislator, said he is
entering the race to give the people the representation they
deserve in Congress by replacing the present White House-
controlled congressman.
"Official voting records ex”
pose the present congressman
by proving that he supports the
Johnson-Humphrey adminis
tration demands on two out of
every three White House-push
ed votes. By his Inflationary
votes, the present congress
man favors increased spend
ing programs and is contribu
ting to a further decline of
the dollar.”
Jones said he believes the
best way to reduce inflation is
not a federal tax increase but
rather a reduction in waste
ful federal spending programs.
The Macon Businessman-en- |
glneer said he consulted hun
dreds of people in helping him
reach his decision to run. "I
also mailed thousands of let
ters to voters in the Sixth
District asking their views and
recommendations concerning
such a race,” Jones said. He
reported that 79% of the re
plies were favorable and urged
him to seek election to Con
gress.
Jones said he firmly believes
this district deserves better re
presentation than it is getting.
“Apparently the present con
gressman feels he doesn’t have
to stay in touch with the people
in Ids District. He doesn’t have
an office open in the district
so that the people can contact
him locally. I imagine he will
open one up for the campaign,
as he has in the past, but that
indicates he is interested in us
only during a campaign. This
also indicates he is not repre
senting the best interests of
the Sixth District but is a cap
tive of outside interests who ap
parently are manipulating his
vote in Washington. A barely
adequate representative is not
good enough. I believe this dis
trict deserves better repre
sentation in Congress than it
Is getting.”
Jones promised that after he
Is elected he will have two
offices, strategically located '
throughout the district so that
everyone will have easy access
to their congressman.
Jones thinks we should give
more latitude to the U.S. and
South Vietnamese military for
ces to carry out a policy of
winning the war quickly,
"The biggest mistake about the
war is that the strategy isn’t
being directed by military
men,” Jones said. Jones fa
vors a policy of permitting com
manders in the field and on the I
sea to coordinate their stra- j
tegic and tactical activities,
“rather than have such acti
vities held up for approval,
item by item, by the State De- I
partment and by the White
House. I
"In other words,” Jones |
stressed, "the political decis
ion should be to win the war,
and then our mllitarv should be

given the OK to apply their
years of professional training
and experience toward victory.
“When I am elected,” Jones
states, "I pledge to represent
the people of the Sixth District
of Georgia in Washington ra
ther than serving as LBJ’s re
presentative in the Sixth Dis
trict. I pledge to serve the
people of Georgia rather than
to serve the Johnson-Humphrey
administration, as is now the
case.
"The present congress is
committed to wreckless and ir
responsible spending pro
grams. The administration
gives lip service to attempts
to minimize the dollar drain
abroad and to strengthening our
economy. This can best be ac
complished with the election of
a conservative congressman
from the Sixth District of Geor
gia in November.”
Maddox Faces
Flynt Again
More opposition cropped up for
Congressman John J.Flynt with
the payment of his entry fee
for the Sixth District Congres
sional seat by Frank Maddox of
Jonesboro, a Democrat, adding
his name to that of G. Paul
Jones, Macon Republican.
Clayton County builder Mad
dox opposed Flynt two years
1 ago and was beaten.
■ The three Incumbent state le
gislators, Arch Gary, Hewlett©
Harrell and Bill Lee, announc
ed they would seek election a
gain, paying their qualifying
fees for the new Clayton F ay
ette district.
The Democratic primary will
be held Sept. 14. Members of
that party have until June 15
to qualify for state offices.
