15-acre landscaped plot in For
est Park on Lake Mirror Road,
Clayton County. It is 14 miles
south of downtown Atlanta, one
half mile east of Expressway
41 S.
Members of the public will
have an opportunity to see some
of the most remarkable high
speed and automatic production
facilities of modern industry.
Four production lines are already
in operation. A single line may
produce metal containers with
incredible precision at speeds up
to 500 a minute.
From these lines will come mil
lions of metal cans every year !
for Georgia canners to carry
fruits, vegetables, soft drinks and
beer throughout the nation. In
addition, hundreds of thousands
of metal and paper containers
will be produced for biscuit
dough.
Nearly 100 are presently em- I
ployed at the plant which, when
in full operation, is expected to
employ about 250 people with an- j
nual payroll and employee bene
fits of more than $1,500,000.
The plant was designed and
engineered by the American Can
Company and built by Beers
Construction Co.
The plant tour will include
viewing the production lines,
bulk-loading of box cars, truck
loading docks, warehousing and
first aid rooms. Displays will in
clude a 40-foot exhibit of Com
pany-wide products, and an in
teresting historical collection of
containers in commemoration of
the 150th anniversary of metal
cans which is being celebrated
this year.
Ample parking facilities will be
available at the plant and in the
parking yard of the Georgia
Power Company across the high
way.
Other Company officials who
will take part in the opening
ceremonies include Robert C.
Stolk, Canco Division Sales Vice I
President, and Robert B. Thomp
son, Canco Division Manufac- I
turing Vice President.

One quotation from the introduction to the book is significant. It says: “Few offi
cials have more authority and a broader public responsibility than has the Ordinary.”
Since assuming the duties of Ordinary of Clayton County last month, I have spent a
great deal of time with this book, for study of it will help me make you a better ordinary.
Here are a few notes on my activities thus far as your Ordinary:
In February of this year the Ordinary’s office collected over $5,000 in traffic fines.
This is against $2,000 last year for the same month.
We have held one traffic court since I took office and over 100 traffic cases have been
completely handled.
We have stopped closing the office at lunch hour and we have been working nearly
an hour past closing time each evening to get caught up.
We have had the safe repaired and have changed the combination.
There are four different accounts in the Ordinary’s office and at the end of Febru
ary our books balanced to the penny.
I hope that on election day, April 23, you will cast your vote to let me continue to
work for you as your ordinary.
Respectfully yours,
JOE T. LANE

DEAR FRIENDS:
In 1956 a book was published by the Institute of Law and Govern
ment at the University of Georgia, Athens, called Manual For The Office
Os Ordinary.
This book is a little over 100 pages long and is packed with the
duties and responsibilities of county ordinaries. It contains every known
legal citation of law cases, up to 1956, to use as reference when questions
arise in the minds of ordinaries.
The introduction to this book was written by Dean .1. Alton Hosch
of the School of Law at the University. Mr. Hosch is also Director, Insti
tute of Law and Government which produced the book.

(Continued From Page 1)
While it was no laughing mat
ter some of the candlelight epi
sodes were downright funny.
Over at the Jonesboro Case D.
M. Johnson was seen carrying a
lighted candle and a cold tea
pot.
Minit Inn on Highway 54
served by candlelight as long as
the customers could stand the
absence of regular heating facili
ties. Roy Ballance turned on
the ovens of his ranges to pro
vide as much heat as possible.
Market Cafeteria was with
out water for 15 hours and Man
ager Frank Hahn melted ice for
coffee.
Damages ran into heavy fig
ures. Many home owners lost
the contents of their ice boxes
and deep freezes.
But the big cost was to the
Power Company and Southern
Bell in restoring lines and re
placing poles.
Despite some icy spots on
bridges and roads, accidents were
held to an absolute minimum.
The area looked like a winter
wonderland as the sun finally
came out and the icicles sparkled
like diamond tiaras. The fields,
white with ice, were beautiful,
though grim.
School children had a field
day, as schools closed down dur
ing the big freeze. Schools re
opened Monday, and it was back
to the books for the students.
Nothing like it had happened
in 25 years, and all who were af
fected hope devoutly it will be
at least 25 more before such
, freakish weather descends again.
It was colder in Clayton Coun-
I ty than it was in Nome, Alaska.
But now we’re out of the deep '
freeze and looking forward to I
