guy UNES BY GUY BUTLER
Still Gaining!
Clayton County, which has been
setting records for swift grow-
Ing for several
years now,
continues on
the move with
announcements
of a planned
Amphitheatre
and a Margar
et Mitchell
Memorial Mu
seum.
This comes
on the heels of
the revelation that J. C. Penney
Co. Is going to build a $25,
000,000 catalog distribution
center in the countv.
It’s gotten to be habit for Clay
ton County to think big and ac
quire big things to match and
this latest adds two more big
projects to the lengthenlnlng
list.
Besides Penney’s catalog
house, It will build a 100,000
square-foot retail store and a
separate automobile service
center.
The Penney center of 2,050,
000 square feet will be six
times the length of a football
field.
The Mitchell Museum will
focus attention of Gone With the
Wind fans upon this area, the
locale of much of Miss Mit
chell’s writing. The group head
ing this plans to acquire an
ante-bellum home and turn
It Into a museum.
That will really be a ten
strike for the community and
a fine memorial to the gifted
Miss Mitchell.
“Peggy” Mitchell deserves
Immortality and certainly a
lasting tribute from the people
of her home state and her home
community for the magnificent
work she did.
Peggy Is a refreshing memory
to this writer. We worked as
“teammates” on the old At
lanta Journal before the Coxes
took over. She was in the Sun
day magazine dept, and went
out on feature assignments. Of
tentimes she would run into a
sports angle she had to incor
porate into her article. Well,
Peggy was a gal who kept her
nose buried in books and her

main “recreation” was walk
ing to the library and back,
mainly for more research on
Gone With the Wind, no doubt,
although she kep all that pretty
much to herself In those days.
Well, It was obvious that she
had never seen a football game,
a baseball game, a prize fight
or anything of a sporting na
ture. So, when she’d run Into
these athletes or athletesses
she had to write about she’d
make a dash for the sports
dept., where Morgan Blake, O.
B. Keeler, Ed Mlles, Bill Mun
day, Ole Timer and I ablded.
These other sports staff mem
bers rarely stuck around but
I was the fall guy—the wheel
horse—and had to be present
most of the day, wherefore
Peggy generally put her sports
posers to me.
“What,” she would ask, “is
a hole-ln-one?”...“What do
they mean by a curve ball?
Can they really make a base
ball curve?”...Or “What is a
field goal?”
So, the writer tried to set
her straight. For she gener
ally went away satisfied with
the explanation.
Despite her complete lack of
know-how about sports, she was
a great little gal, was Peggy.
And no writer has ever achi
eved such fame and fortune with
one book such as did she.

STRINGER NOT LONG ENOUGH
HE CASTS BACK 60 FISH
L. G. Bray of 124 Linda Drive, Decatur, went fishing Satur
day at the Catfish King Lake, directly behind the Catfish
King Restaurant on Moreland Ave., and caught over 100
catfish, bream and bass. “Only trouble,” said Mr. Bray, I
didn’t go prepared to bring home that many.” His stringer
would only accomodate 40 fish, so he was compelled to throw
60-odd fish back Into the lake.
