History Came to Life When the
Dalton Boys Won the Pro-Am
LAKESIDE, ATLANTA, PRO, “BABE” HART,
CAME UP WITH A CADDY NAMED PALMER
By JACK TROY
Editor, The Free Press
Jekyll Island Course, Ga.—
The Dalton boys joined the old
pirates—Sir Henry Morgan, J. P.
Morgan, et. al.—in this history
saturated land stolen from the
Ospo Indians, and they had a
field day in making off with the
gold and silver of Tommy
Bean’s pro-amateur golf tour
nament, played on the old
sanddune course and the bril
liant new nine-hole course laid
out among the great oaks and
the sheltering pines.
The Dalton boys, from Dal
ton, Ga., were led by Pro Jim
Stamps, a jovial six-foot-plus
giant who has the same control
over a golf ball that late Jekyll
resident Richard Crane once
had over the nation’s plumbing
fixtures industry.
Ken Adams, Louie Vinegard
and Hubert Joyce confused the
spectators when the Dalton
boys teed off on the first hole
last Wednesday morning. It was
difficult to tell, by the tee shots,
which was the pro. This fine
team came in with a 66 to pick
up all the marbles and Pro
Stamps, with a 70, beat par by
two strokes, and was the low
pro for the fine tournament
that attracted 27 outstanding
Georgia Pro-Am teams—a total
of 108 good golfers.

Low amateur was John Oliver i
of Valdosta, with a three-over-'

also of Valdosta with a 76.
Pro Tommy Bean and his I
attractive wife have done a
wonderful job in the Jekyll
Club. Visiting pros, in the pro
amateur and in the annual
Georgia PGA tournament this
week, had only the highest
praise for the new nine-hole
course, and expected the second
new nine to match it later on.
Then, of course, the old sand
dune course, built for the mil
lionaires by world renowned golf
architect Scotsman Walter J.
Travis, is a great course. The
freeze killed the fairway grass
this winter, but that doesn’t
happen very often on this fab
ulous golden isle.
Almost every race under the
sun has played a part in Jekyll’s
history, and there was a Greek
on the loose • during the golf
tournament — none other than

the PGA. George, an old Ogle

nal columnist Eddie Barker—

homes as head of Jekyll Con
struction Company—in laying
some friendly bets. George, a
great needier while a baseball
star and no different today,
speaking of Eddie said: “What
does a dog do—bark!” And then
he proceeded, on the first day
of the PGA, to take Barker for
five bucks.
The Greek fits the description
of the golfer that you may have
seen—one who yells “fore!”
takes six and puts down five.
"Babe" Hart, from Atlanta’s
Lakeside Country Club, whose
membership includes such noted
Clayton County golfers as
Henry C. Dorsey and Terrell A.
Starr, drew a lot of attention in
the Pro-Am when he came up
with a eaddy named PALMER.
This cat, first name Ernest in
stead of Arnold, wore a col
legiate type black hat, cream
leather jacket, black pants,
suede shoes and smoked a long
black cigar. Palmer had never
played any golf in his life. Babe
Hart allowed as how he had it
made with a caddy named
Palmer because, as a fine pro,
he didn't need any caddy help
in selecting his clubs. Babe
didn’t win, but on the first day
of the PGA, he caused a sensa
tion when he appeared wearing
a chartreuse golf shirt and gold
flannel pants. This boy Babe
has style, and he just might
make a good prospect for the
new Country Club under con
struction in Clayton County.
More about the PGA tourney
next week. A funny thing hap
pened on the way to the course
today. A Mr. Peas, who heads
the New York Jones Beach
Olympic layout and golf course,
joined Pro Bean, and the only
thing lacking was Harvey Tur
nipseed of Jonesboro.
We'd like to tell you next
week, too, about the way this
golden isle had a change of
name, from Ospo Island, named
for the Indians, to Jekyll. It has
a local connation involving
Oglethorpe University, Atlanta.

fires in Georgia is debris burn

HINCTON -
WHAT PROBABLY will be
the most important and highly
debated issue to come before
the Congress this session is a
proposed cut in income taxes
which the Administration hopes
will stimulate the nation’s lag-
ging economy.
There is, of
course, much
to be said in
favor of a tax
reduction. The
federal govern
ment is reach-1
ing deeply into
the pocket-l
books of the American people
now as never before. Relief is
long overdue.
However, in the interest of
restoring sound fiscal responsi
bility to the nation—which also
begs for attention —we must not
let a sweet-sounding tax cut
make us lose sight of the need
for a substantial reduction in
federal spending, now approach
ing SIOO billion a year.
* ♦ ♦
MANY FEAR, and with good
reason, that the present finan
cial situation of the national
government will lead to a criti
cal impairment of this country’s
economic stability. Common
sense clearly calls for a reduc
tion in non-essential government
spending, especially in non
defense, a balanced budget, a
reduction of the staggering na
tional debt, and the rescue of
the declining value of the dollar.

nearby fire department could stop it. A pitable lone stream of
water played on nearby houses in an effort to save them, and
citizens prayed for more rain to help in containing the roaring
fire to the Brown House.
A service station operator also told us about the tragedy that
had befallen the great Perry high school basketball team in
Houston County; it really happened down the road at Dublin
last Saturday night. Two star players were sidelined and Perry
lost, 45-44, ending an unbeaten streak of 50 games.
In this life, some you win, some you tie, and some are rained
out.

are cause for concern. The last
fiscal year ended June 30 with
a deficit of $6.3 billion. The
current fiscal year, which will
end next June 30, will leave the
government in even worse
financial shape.
This is especially dismaying
when the year started with the
Administration offering a bal
anced budget and predicting a
surplus of $463 million. Here is
what happened: Because spend
ing went up from $92.5 to $93.7
billion, and income fell from
$93 to $85.9 billion, a deficit of
$7.8 billion is expected.
AND WHAT ABOUT the next
fiscal year? The 1964 deficit
probably will zoom to $lO bil
lion, even without the proposed
tax cut.
Many in Congress share my
firm conviction that the national
budget should be balanced, that
spending should be curbed be
fore contemplating a tax cut in
the billions of dollars.
The national debt is now ap
proximately $302 billion, more
than the legal limit, and the gold
reserve is at $15.9, the lowest
since 1939. I strongly believe
that a several-billion-dollar tax
cut at this time, without a cor
responding reduction in spend
ing would bring us dangerously
close to new inflation and the ul
timate destruction of the dollar.
