There will be no easing of
the pressure, for after the
Pirates come the Phillies who
have been playing good base

revenge for a series of de

Braves earlier in the year.
Then come the Dodgers June 24,

beaten them this year.
Winding up the home stand
will be the Cubs. Leo Duro

Amphitheatre And Mitchell
Museum Coming To Clayton
Plans for the development of an amphitheater-museum cul
tural complex were made public at a Town Hall meeting at
Forest Park High school Tuesday night.
To be located in the central
part of Clayton County, the pro
ject centers around a proposed
amphitheater with an initial
seating capacity of approxi
mately 3,000, with ample room
for expansion as needed. The
tract of land on which it will
be constructed is being donat
ed by Arthur Huie, Jr., of Jones
boro and Mrs. L, K. Lenihan of
New York. The property ad
joins the west side of the new
Lillie Suder Elementary school
property on Jodeco Road.
Simultaneously, it was an
nounced negotiations were
under way with several par
ties to acquire one of the ante
bellum homes in Clayton
County. Plans are to renovate
and restore the home for use
as a museum to preserve the
hlstroy of the area. Permission
has been received from the
Margaret Mitchell Marsh Es
tate to name It the Margaret
Mitchell Memorial Museum and
to promote Clayton County as
the “Home of Gone With The
Wind”, since this area was the
setting of much of the book
and the scene of much of her
research.
Although the initial planning
and negotiations have been
handled by the Clayton County
Chamber of Commerce, a non
profit corporation will be form
ed and its board of trustees will
acquire the properties, develop
and administer them.
In unveiling the projects, which
ended several weeks of sus
pense leading up to the Town
Hall meeting, Martin Burks,
vice president of the Chamber
of Commerce, pointed out many
possible uses for such an am
phitheater, adding that “it will
serve the entire area south of
Atlanta.” He also revealed that

Same Day As Death Notice
Always a devoted son and bro
ther, Pfc. Tom E. Boren cus
hioned the shock to his family
by his personal letter to tjiem
arriving the same day as that

of seeing his older brother,

into the combat zone. He re
lated how he tried five times
to reach his brother by radio,
but his efforts were interrupt
ed when his unit was sent into
combat Wednesday ... on Fri
day, June 9 (June 10, in Viet
Nam) he died in battle, just five
days after his arrival In Viet
Nam....but his letter Is a liv
ing testimony to his family of
his love and devotion.

summer months.
“Such an attraction,” ac
cording to Mr. Burks, “would
have an immediate economic ef
fect on our area by causing some
of the thousands of Florida
bound tourists passing through
our county daily to stop off and
stay a day or two”.
Another highlight of the even
ing was the unveiling of the
Marchman Trophy, to be award
ed annually to the civic club
or organization doing the most
to make Clayton County more
beautiful. A memorial to Col.
Frank Marchman, past presi
dent of the Chamber for whom
the trophy Is named and who
devoted much effort toward
beautification was presented to
Mrs. Marchman.
Throughout the evening the air
was filled with excitement and
suspense for everyone attend
ing the meeting, which was de
signed to launch Clayton Coun
ty’s “Stay and See” program
In cooperation with the State
Chamber of Commerce. The
meeting was preceded by a con
