Booster Program Pays
Off at North Clayton
Uiwanis Club of South College Park and the Boys and Girls
Committee co-chairmaned by Roy Hancock and Frank Bradley
have been all-important behind the scenes in support of the
North Clayton High School football team, and the Kiwanians
have had a 10l to do with bringing about factors that are respon
sible„in good measure, lor the success of the Eagles in 1962.
One thing they have done in particular in the last couple of
years has been to sponsor the North Clayton High School Football
Booster Program in the fall, raising money through advertising
promotion to improve the lighting of the field which they origi
nally helped to provide, and for the general football progress.
The Kiwanians, foremost, have had the greatest faith and
confidence in the Eagles of 1962, even before the Initial kickoff
of the season. They were looking for vast improvements in the
team's performance, and they weren't surprised when the Eagles
rewarded their confidence wilh the greatest season in the school’s
history.
The South Georgia AA championship isn’t bad for a start.

To the Citizens of Forest Park:
I am taking this opportunity to thank each of my supporters in the recent
City Council election. My victory would have been impossible without the
help of my friends.
Because of my duties as Councilman and my medical practice I was unable
to talk to each one individually, my friends and supporters did this for me.
The election is now over and I will serve all to the best of my ability with no
discrimination.

was based largely upon the criti
cisms and suggestions that he
has heard in ms office from
newcomers to this area.
Mr. Hodges spoke of much out
standing talent that is moving
Into the county which is going
unrecognized and unused from
a lack of communications be
tween the newcomers and the
Clayton people and its organiza
tions. He feels that there should
be an organized effort to bring
these people into our community
life.
Mr. Hodges also specifically
pointed out several projects
worthy of consideration of the
county’s service clubs either as
individual projects or as a col
lective project: The immediate
formulation of plans for park
areas in Clayton County before
such sites are not available; a
good library, which could well
be a memorial library for Mar
garet Mitchell who made the
Battle of Jonesboro a household
subject throughout the world
preservation of historical shrines
and a county museum could be
considered along with the library
project; a project to unclutter
the South Expressway of its sign
boards and thus reveal Clavton
County as some of the prettiest
country in Georgia; the selec
tion and wide use of a motto to
be used to identify the county
by slogan; a movement to spoilt
sor a movie of Clayton County
in which the New Clayton Coun
ty with its present attractive
ness to industry can be shown
to groups in about 15 minutes; a
church beautification program;
a school beautification program.
Mr. Hodges spoke of future
problems which we as Clayton
Countians face: the integration
problem in which we should pray
for a proper solution and the
procurement in the future of a
junior college facility. He feels
that plans should be laid now
for a junior college to meet the
head-on need that will soon
arise.
Mr. Hodges feels that from all
the comments he has heard from
newcomers and from those in
vestigating Clayton County that
the two greatest factors which
have influenced industry and
business to go into other areas
are our churches which with
some exceptions need beautifi
cation and our schools which

Dear Mr. Troy: /
Now that the United Appeal is “over-the-top” for the first time
in its four-year history, I want to thank you personally/for your
help in raising our community’s level of civic responsibility.
This year’s fine record owes much to the support given to us
by you and Forest Park Free Press and Clayton County News
and Farmer.
We have already received gifts and pledges totaling over 100%
of the minimum budget required to continue ,70 important
health and welfare services next year. We’re hopeful the sum
will climb even higher.
Frankly, this was a test year for Metropolitan Atlanta’s United
Appeal. After three near misses, success was imperative if we
were to continue.
On behalf of the United Appeal campaign cabinet and of the
thousands of people who will benefit from the dollars given,
thank you again for your part in helping us insure the united
way of giving. Please accept the enclosed citation as a small
measure of our appreciation.
Sincerely,
HAROLD BROCKEY
Campaign Chairman
Dear Mr. Troy:
Just a note to thank you personally for all you did to help us
make this year’s United Appeal a success. We couldn’t have
done it without you.
Sincerely,
BETH HERZOG
