EDMONDS EXPLAINS USAGE
FOR OCT. 25 BOND ISSUE
BY J. E. EDMONDS
Clayton County School System
has received $1,800,000 from
the State School Building Au
thority for the construction of
additional school facilities.
This money is allotted to the
Clayton County School System
according to a State Depart
ment formula which supple
ments local building programs.
The School Building Authority
allotment will be used to con
struct a new elementary school
on Lake Harbin Road In Mor
row, a new gym and music room
at G. P. Babb Junior High
school, new libraries at For
est Park Senior High and Jones
boro Senior High and a new
county stadium.
The school on Lake Harbin
Road will help to relieve
crowded conditions In two
critical areas, Morrow and
Tara schools.
The gym and music facilities
at Forest Park Senior High
are currently being overtaxed
by the necessity of use by G.P.
Babb students. The new con
struction at G. P. Babb will
relieve this situation.
There is an imperative need
for ample library facilities at
both Jonesboro and Forest Park
Senior High Schools. Increased
enrollment in the past few years
coupled with the addition of
thousands of library bookshave
brought this about.
Clayton County Stadium will
meet a need for a structure
large enough to seat crowds
at athletic, music and com
mencement events. It will be
located in the center of the
county.
Construction of all the above
facilities will be financed by
the School Building Authority
money just received and will not
be a part of the Junior College

CATS BLANKED,
WOODWARD FOE
The “Big Maroon” from Forest Park had their dream
of region dominance clipped away Friday afternoon at Che
nenev Stadium by the Southwest Wolves, 27-0,
After averaging over 20 points
a game' for the first half of the
season, the Panthers learned
how the other half lives, as the
Wolves rationed the Cats to only
six first downs.
Sky high a week earlier against
Griffin the Wine and Gold prov
ed to be flatter than the ter
rain on which the game was
played. The listless Panthers
allowed the Wolves to score
once In every quarter as the
Southwest ground attack liter
ally rolled over the Cats.
Quarterback Bernard Scruggs
tallied the first 7 points in the
first quarter as he scampered
2 yards for the TD and then
kicked the PAT himself. After
being stopped cold by the South
west defense for the umpteenth
time the Wolves scored Im
mediately opening the second
quarter. Tills time Ronnie
Gardner waltzed into paydirt
from 2 yards out and the Pan
thers were seeing their bubble
burst, 14-0.
Forest Park appeared to be
mounting a rally as they com
pletely dominated halftime pro
ceedings, but were disappointed
as Gardner came right back with
another elite run of 8 yards as
the score advanced to 21-0.
Following an uneventful few
minutes, Lee Gonoble helped
the Wolves’ spirit by dashing
8 yards for a score after a
wayward Panther pass had been
picked off at the Cat 17. The
Parker cheerleaders then got
their only exercise of the night
when the Panthers blocked the
conversion attempt.
The loss dropped the Forest
Parkers’ slate to 3-3, and 2-2
in region play. The decision also
knocked the lifeless Panthers
from their contending position
to one of lesser rewards.
Coach Carl Madison’s charges
will try to reverse the mo
mentum at Klwanls Field to
morrow night against always
tough Woodward Academy.

Maddox Won’t 'Throw
the Scoundrels Out’
Round and round she goes and
where she stops nobody
| knows. . .
Will it be
on the number
of Bo Calla
way? Or Les
ter Maddox?
Or perhaps on
the name of the
leading write
in as of this
date of publi
cation, Ellis
Arnall?
If anyone of us knew for cer
tain we could get rich, never
to hit a lick at a snake the rest
of our lives.
But politics being what it is,
we’ll never be sure until the
last man’s counted out on Nov.
8.
There has been much conjec
ture over what happened in the
primary runoff. Callaway sup
porters believe too many of
their constituents outsmarted
themselves by voting for Mad
dox in the effort to make the
main show a cinch for Go-80.
The claim is that some 70,000
C allaway voters punched tickets
for Maddox. Arnall people say
if that number had stayed away,
their man would have won out.
Nobody will ever know the ex
act total of cross-overs but
It had to be a goodly number.
Maybe not 70,000 but that fi
gure couldn’t be too far out,
judging from the results ofboth
primaries.
One thing is for sure: those
who want to “see the scoun
drels In the State Capitol thrown
out”, and such people are bound
to be numerous, won’t get their
fondest wish if they elect Mad
dox.
Lester let it be known tie was
willing to go along with the old
gang If they’d throw their sup
port to him and the agreement
obvously has been reached. If
Maddox wins the same old crowd
will remain in to live four
more years off the taxpayers.
A Callaway victory will mean
a house-cleaning, likewise if
'-'Arnall’s write-inners were to
prevail.
The only good editorial The
Atlanta Journal has had in years
provided some good points the
other day. “Georgia has been
needing two political parties,”
It stated, rather surprisingly.
“The Democratic party of the
state has been a loose amal
gamation of friends and rela
tives; a nice way of life, if you
■vere part of the group. The
party’s internal weakness was
