Well-laid plans were bared to
a sanctioning assemblage of
some 500—management, labor,

Hewlette Harrell, J. E. Ed
monds, Loren Cheaves and
Charles Summerday, to name

In his opening talk Stan May
quietly discharged a stinging
challenge, “Beaten paths are
for beaten men." Mrs. Mozelle
Christian followed Mr. May on
the program. Getting to the root
of the matter she stressed
LACK as the underlying cause
Os Inertia. “No. 1, lack of know

No. 2, lack of promotion of
ideas.”
Our beautification committee
has already hurdled these ob
stacles for us. (See story on
page one.)
Arthur Perkins, president of
the Clayton County Chamber of
Commerce, unveiled the beauti
ful Col. Frank Marchman tro
phy to be presented annually to
the winning club entered in the
competition to make the county
more beautiful.
Outlining the four areas of
competition, Charles Tucker,
County agent, first reminded
would-be contestants of the
August 1 deadline. He announced
that landscaping, residences
and public property will receive
30 points each and the scrap
book 10 points.
Outside Judges will look at
utilities, how well maintained;
even well-placed garbage cans
will count. The scrapbook dead
line is April 1, to be judged
April 20. This period is bene
ficial due to the natural beau
ties of springtime.
Jonesboro Woman’s Club
members wrote the skit for the
occasion, “How Not to Treat
Tourists," performed by coun
ty women’s club members.

MISS JAMIE GAIL REEVES
Miss Clayton County, Peggy
Conner, preceded the curtain
call, crossing the stage bear
ing placards “Stay and See Clay
ton County" - and “A Moment
in the Life of a Tourist.”
The curtain rose to the burles
que bumps-and-grlnds sounds
of music from the Third Army
Band. A case setting — all
women patrons, seated at gaily
covered tables—sassy waitres
ses leaning over tourist cus
tomers cleaning tables; one
mopping the floor in a “don’t
care If you don’t return” at
mosphere—a graphic illustra
tion of “How Not ...”
One well-seasoned traveler
Inquired of a waitress, “Is
this place triple A?” Quizzi
cally, the waitress retorted,
“What?" Tourist’s answer,
“You know? A-A-A.” Waitress
replied, “Shucks, no! This is
a dry county,” A lost tourist
on her way to “ Spivey or Bust,”
received cool, silent treatment
In answers to her inquiries.
Another way NOT to attract
tourists.
The well-organized and per
fectly executed “Town Hall
Meeting” is a harbinger of a
more beautiful Clayton County.
As Emerson said, “Beware of
an idea whose time is come.”
