Clayton Expected To Get
Metropolitan Status Now
As this issue of the Forest
Park Free Press and Clayton
County News and Farmer went
to press, it was apparent that
the Atlanta Aldermaic Board
would act favorably on a resolu
tion which seeks to have Clay
ton County officially named a
part of the Atlanta Metropolitan
Area.
Aiderman John A. White will
introduce the measure. If ap
proved, as expected, the resolu
tion would go to the U. S. Bu
reau of the Budget, which de

DICKSON FUNERAL
HOME IS MEMBER
OF NATIONAL AFDS
A release from the Associated
Funeral Directors Service with
headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., in
explaining the purposes and
benefits of membership in their
organization, announces that
the Dickson Funeral Home rep
resents the organization in
Jonesboro.
AFDS, as the organization is
known, is an international or
ganization with a membership
of more than 1800 leading fu
neral firms. Only outstanding
funeral homes throughout the
United States and Canada are
invited to membership. Profes
sional standing in the commu
nity, business policies and serv
ice records must be outstanding
for selection and sustained mem
bership which represents a high
honor in the funeral service
field.
The basic purpose of the
AFDS organization is to assure
high standards of service at rea
sonable cost on those cases
where death takes place away
from home. Membership in the
organization enables a firm to
give the community better and
broader service because of its
affiliation with responsible fu
neral firms in all parts of the
country.
The Dickson Funeral Home is
operated by Pope Dickson.

Approval by the bureau would
mean a population increase of
30,000 to 35,000 for the Atlanta
area. Mr. White said that Clay
ton County has been included
unofficially in many population
estimates.
The Clayton County Commis
sion has requested the Alder
manic Board to pass the resolu
tion, which was prepared by the
Metropolitan Planning Commis
sion.
Commission Chairman Belton
Haynie said the development of
Clayton County would be im
proved if added into the Atlanta
area.
SHARK!
/ ° k
O
O
o
Nobody loves a shark — either
the man-eating or the loan variety.
But while some folks just scream
“Shark!” and let it go at that,
others arc making a real effort to
rid Georgia of all loan sharks.
Among those doing the most are
Commissioner Zack Cravey and
the Georgia Association of Finance
and Loan Companies.
Both had a hand in the passage
of the new Georgia small loan law,
which went into effect only last
May. Now they are trying to make
that law work.
We all know the new law gives
the little man more protection. We
all know he now can borrow money
cheaper than ever before. But is the
new law sufficient? Nobody can
answer that question honestly until
Georgia has had at least a year's
experience under the new law.
Perhaps it does need improve
ment. With the exception of the Ten
Commandments, there never has
been a perfect law. And even the
Ten Commandments are not al
ways obeyed, we hear. But Georgia's
new small loan law is such an im
provement over the chaos which
existed, and it has been in effect
such a short time, that it seems
obvious to us that at least a year of
experience under State supervision
is necessary before we will have
records on which to base any pro
posed change.

stration than ever before. It is this kind of administration that I shall endeavor
to give you. We need to bury all political hatchets and approach our problems
with a degere of unity and enthusiasm which is seldom evidenced in small
towns.
There are so many things which need doing - We need to invite industry to
locate in Forest Park so as to more equitably distribute the tax load. I have
worked diligently towards that objective. We all know that indusry will not
come to a community that cannot offer sewer facilities. We also know that
when our sewer lines are completed a health hazard will be eliminated that our
State Health Department has recognized for some time. Your council and I
have ordered a survey made on the South Side of the City, with the cooperation
of our County Officials in building a disposal plant, work can begin in that area
next year.
There is so much work which needs to be done. Sidewalks are needed to get
the children out of the streets. Much can be accomplished if we approach the
problem in*unison.
As stated, I cannot promise you any specific thing which does not come
under the Executive Branch of your City Government. I can only present them
to your Council for consideration.
I can promise you a meticulously honest administration of city affairs, and
that you will be kept advised as to what transpires at your council meetings.
Moreover, I can promise to represent you at all functions with dignity and pride
to the end that we will have a little city of which we may be justly proud. All
these things I do, unequivocally, promise to do to the best of my ability, God
being my helper.
May I thank you fnr your influence and support. Exercise your right of fran
chise on December 3 and encourage your friends to do the same.

Anything which I may promise to do
personally would be an insult to your in

your interest, must pass upon anything
which may be accomplished under our ।

It is honestly felt that my experience
in City Government qualifies me for your
serious consideration. I want to thank the
good people of Forest Park for their pa

made mistakes, I am only human.
