Director of Athletics of Geor
gia Tech Bobby Dodd presented
the Forest Park Clvltan ticket
chairman, Jack Kinman, with
the tickets to be sold by his
club for the upcoming game.
The event was the Bobby Dodd
Kick-Off Dinner held at the
Parliament House, Aug. 2 at 7
p,m. Coach Dodd had the plea
sure of kicking off the ele
venth annual ticket sales for the
60,000 PONDS,
AND LAKES IN
GEORGIA NOW
Georgie’s countryside is
dotted with 60,000 ponds and
lakes ranging in size from a
fraction of an acre to hundreds
of acres. Farm ponds and other
private ponds in our state are
growing in number by 1,200 a
year.
Three of the nation’s top ten
lakes or impoundments, by
number of visitors, are located
in Georgia. More and more
Georgians every year are turn
ing to water sports and acti
vities for fun and relaxation.
Boat registrations in the state
in recent years have increased
by 5,000 annually.
In spite of the tremendous in
crease in facilities and parti
cipation, water safety has been
greatly improved through the
efforts of many individuals and
organizations. Last year in
Georgia, drownings were re
duced 51 per cent, injuries
were down 20 per cent and
accidents related to swimming
and boating were down 30 per
cent.
MADDOX CLAIMS LEAD
Gubernatorial Candidate Lester Maddox said the following
predictions were made as the results of a privately conducted
two-week poll made by a non-partisan group, and involved
all areas of the State. The poll just releaded, did not include
the Court Houses, but covered the man and woman in the
street; in their places of business and in their homes:

Clvltan Preview Game. This
intersquad game by the Yellow j
Jackets is now played each
year and the entire proceeds go
to the retarded children of this
metropolitan area. Each year
the Civltan clubs of the At- |
lanta area sponsor this project ।
and each year the game gains ■
momentum and the Civitans are
better able to help retarded
children.
At the kick-off dinner Coach
Dodd gave the Civitans present :
an informative Insight into game
plans and a preview of what to
expect. The intersquad games
through the years have been
getting closer and harder fought
evidenced by the closer scores. i
Coach Dodd told of his plans to
have the squads play "open- ;
up” football which is more ex
plosive and exciting to watch. !
With the possibility of going i
for the short yardage on that |
fourth and short-yardage si
tuation rather than the old fore
gone conclusion punt, and a good
mixing of the quick openers '
and more passing attacks, and
a desire of each player to give |
the best account of himself,
the viewer stands to have one
swell time.
Robb WCG Speaker
August 19TH 0
MILLEDGEVILLE—Dr. Felix
C. Robb, director of the Sou
thern Assn, of Colleges and j
Schools, will be the August I
Commencement speaker at the
Woman’s College of Georgia. ।
Commencement exercises will |
be held Friday, August 19, at
10:30 a.m. in Russell Audi
torium.
The more exciting "play” of
the game, however, is the
citizen who purchases tickets
thereby helping the retarded
children to become active and
useful members of our com
munity. At the dinner, during
the question and answer period
held by Dodd, many questions
arose concerning the proceeds
of the game and where the money
went. Coach Dodd explained that
In putting this game on the field
for the public to view, not one
agency or person got a per
centage for his work. The en
tire amount of the ticket price
goes directly toward the child
ren. Coach Dodd will be play
ing the entire squad so every
one will have a chance to see
his favorite Jacket In action.
All tickets In our area are
being sold by the Civltan clubs,
Including Forest Park, Morrow
and Jonesboro. Price for all
tickets is sl. Also if some
prefer to make their checks
pavable to the Atlanta Assn,
for Retarded Children, it is then
an approved tax deduction. Dodd
was very happy to again accept
this post and to put this game
together for the children be
cause he has seen them and the
progress made by the funds
raised. One of our Civitans
played Santa for the children and
was later heard saying he sure
ly must have been the only
Santa with tears In his eyes.
In the Forest Park area, per
sons desiring tickets may ob
tain them from any Clvltan or
calling Jack Kinman at 361—
3219. Mr. Kinman will be happy
io arrange to deliver the tickets
with the “thanks” of the Forest
Park Civitans.
The members of the Forest
Park club look forward to see
ing you at the game. We Civi
tans get no "free” tickets but
enjoy treating our families to
a good college contest while we
help children who are close to
our hearts.
The game will be played at
Grant Field Saturday, Sept. 10,
at 2 p.m.
Other Civitans in attendence
at the dinner were: Governor
of Georgia District North, Wes
ley Whitehead; Governor-elect
of District North, Thorne Win
ter, Jr; Dr. E. Cook, district
publicity; John Truelove, dis
trict ticket chairman; Forest
Park president Marty Holman
and Forest Park vice president
Gordon Kraft. The dinner was
attended by representatives
from all but a few of the Me*
tropolltan Clvltan Clubs.

Beware The Bat-
It May Be Rabid
Beware the bat - particular
ly the red bat. Since July 25,
health department officials
warned, six rabid bats have
been found in metro Atlanta
alone. Five of the six were of
the red bat variety.
The red bat, like batman, is
something of a 'Toner”. But
there the similarity ends, for
this variety, when infected with
deadly rabies, has more in com
mon with Dracula than with the
television hero. There is parti
cular danger where chi Idren are
concerned, said the health de
i partment, because they are
more likely to find the bats,
I and, not realizing the danger of
i infection, are most likely to pick
' up the rabid bats.
Although the infection seems
; to have hit lasiurus borealis
j (the red bat) particularly hard,
; the health department noted that
I no species is immune to the
danger of infection, and that
METRO POLICE
! SCHOOL BEGINS
Forty officers from 12 me
' tropolltan area police depart
ments started classes Mon
i day, August 1, as the first At
, lanta Metropol Traffic School
i began.
These men will be given three
j weeks of intensive training in
traffic law enforcement andac
i cident Investigation and upon
i completion will serve as in
structors in their respective
I departments.
any bat constitutes a potential
source of infection. In a ten
year study of bat rabies, be
gun in 1956, 32 of 228 non
colonial (or ‘Toner” bats) ex
amined proved to have rabies.
Os 303 colonial bats, such as
the familiar twilight bat, four
proved to be infected.
In issuing the warning of ra
bid bats, Dr. John H. Venable,
director of the State Health
Department, said that he had
been advised by the depart
ment’s public health vete
rinarian, Dr. John H. Richard
son that the following precau
tions should be observed;
1. Avoid any bat showing un
usual behavior such as para
lysis, inability to fly, or ap
pearance in daylight, or that
appears ''tame”.
2. Caution children not to
touch any bat they find, but to
report the discovery to a parent
or adult immediately.
3. When such a bat is found,
handle it carefully. Wrap it in
plastic and take it to the local
health department - or call the
health department for instruc
tions.
Rabies among bats poses a
potentially serious health ha
zard in the metro Atlanta area,
warned the health department,
particularly in the case of chil
dren. So beware the bat. He
may not be a friend of Bruce
Wayne’s at all. He may be
Dracula’s cousin.

God Is Dead Issue-TV Program Aug. 17
One of the current and con
troversial theories of theology
will be explored August 17 at
10 p.m. when Channel 8 pre
sents Local Issue: "God Is
Dead”.
The half-hour program will
focus on the thoughts of one of
the leading modern exponents
of the "Death-of-God” theory,
Thomas J.J. Altizer, Associate
Professor in the Department
of Religion at Emory Univer
sity.
His assertion: "I say not that
■ this God is simply missing, not
that this God is in eclipse, but
rather that this God is dead.”
Professor Altizer is shown
teaching a class at Emory Uni
versity and at his home.
His theories drew national
attention when he and the Uni
versity were attacked by some
of the alumni. Among those
appearing on the program is
Dr. Robert Shumate, M.D. an
alumnus of the Emory Medical
School, who called attention to
the controversy by placing an
advertisement in the Atlanta
Journal which attacked Emory
University for continuing to
employ Mr. Altizer.
