POINT OF VIEW I
— By JACK TROY *
Ernest Cheaves of Forest Park is back home from a 25,000
mile business trip in Europe for Gulf Oil Corporation.
He was part of a two-man team that surveyed France, Luxem-
To be sure his friends would not be left out of a trip that of
fers such great scenic sights, Mr. Cheaves brought back color slides
from all the countries he visited. He will show these to friends
and groups.
In early July a card was received at the office from Mr.
Cheaves, mailed from London.
He noted: "Have been in Europe about 10 weeks—France,
Luxembourg. Belgium, Netherlands, West Germany, etc., and Great
Britain. Now in London. See you last of July."
And Friday he was back home, enriched by his experiences.
He was in Paris when President Kennedy made his trip to see De-
Gaulle. He had to leave before the President arrived.
"Some days we would change countries three times, working
in all of them.”
One thing he couldn’t agree on was that the Russian dancers
came to London while he was there and had all sorts of expensive
dental work done for about $1 each. This is the result of socialized
medicine.
Mr. Cheaves agreed that all the countries he visited are nice,
but "I’m glad to be home.”

Dear Mr. Troy:
I appreciate very much the mention which you made of East
ern Air Lines’ participation recently in the opening of Atlanta’s
magnificent new terminal.
We are pretty well settled down in our new quarters here and
the terminal seems to be quite functional and efficient. We do
have to do a lot more walking than we formerly did.
Whenever you have the occasion to be in the airport vicinity
drop by and let us show you a little more of the interworkings of
Eastern Air Lines. We are located in Finger “B”, second floor.
Room 136.
Incidently, you might want to contact Mr. Jim Watkins, Pub
lic Relations Representative, Eastern Air Lines, Atlanta, Georgia,
to get some information concerning our new proposed hangar to be
started very soon. This should bring new growth to this area.
Thanks again for your nice reference pertaining to the cour
tesy flight.
Sincerely,
PERRY J. HUDSON

FP First Baptist Church
Holds Annual Homecoming
On Sunday morning, July 30th, the congregation of
the First Baptist Church held their first service in the re
cently completed portion of their half million dollar church
plant.
This service was in the form
of a dedication and homecoming
to which all former members,
pastors and friends were ex
tended an invitation.
Mr. Robert Coleman, Chair
man of Ushers, and his commit
tee welcomed the people as they
came.
A lovely musical program was
planned by Mr. C. Roland Boyd,
Musical Director.
The pastor, Rev. Hoyt G. Farr,
chose as his subject, “The House
for the Church”.
An old fashion picnic basket
dinner was served on the
grounds at noon.
The afternoon program con
sisted of a tour of the church
and a special recognition service.

It was a fabulous trip, first class in all
detail, and Mr. Cheaves wrote books of re
ports for his company.
“I found out one thing over there. You
can say anything you want to say. They’ll
heckle you but it won’t be against the law.
Communists are given free reign with free
speech.”
The extensive trip was made by jet, train
and car.
“We saw everything tourists see with
more leisure time to enjoy it. We boated
down the beautiful Rhine river,” he said.
Mr. Cheaves worked hard but he also had
time to see many interesting things. He
saw the changing of the guard in London
at Buckingham Palace.

like to make a donation to mail

Senior High Schools on which
our voters are going to decide
August 29th will provide for
3600 high school students. These
buildings will provide the space
and facilities to the extent that
we can set up an adequate cur
riculum for meeting the needs
of our students comparable to
that of any system in Metro
politan Atlanta.
Some of the outstanding edu
cational features to be in each
| of these plants will be two lan
! guage laboratories, enabling us
to offer several modern lan
guages and speech development
programs; four (4) natural sci
ence laboratories with adequate
facilities for experimental sci
jence programs; two (2) home
making laboratories and four
(4) commercial units.
Our music program, both in
strumental, band and choral, will
be housed in adequate studio
quarters and will provide for all
students desiring such training.
There will also be quarters for
an art program.
The cafeteria will house a food
program that will be attractive
and wholesome and we will have
a snack bar for our students.
The physical education pro
gram will have facilities for both
boys and girls. The gymnasium,
! seating 1800 will also serve as an
auditorium.
There are two shop labora
tories where we can offer wood
and metal work and a modern
library center, large enough to
meet the needs of these large
student bodies, will be in each of
these plants.
We are hoping to have our
athletic fields and play grounds
developed on these two school
sites but under our present bond
ing capacity we cannot put these
in our school contracts.
Be sure you go to the polls on
August 29th. We again urge you
to study our school system and
we believe you will be pleased
with the progress and enthus
iastic about our future.
