ECCENTRIC BANNER?
Sounds Like a Case for
Man With Butterfly Net
There continues to recur, in memory, one of those “clas
sic” Saturday Eve Post stories written by Harold 11. Martin,
entitled “Atlanta’s Eccentric Banker”, and it was all about
the nutty activities of Mills B. Lane Jr.
Mr. Lane, coming to work in a football suit, was sup
posed to give all the bank employees a laugh, but we’re sure
it must have made them a little sick.
For if the average business man were to pull such a
trick, they’d send for the man with the butterfly net!
Instead, if you have money and do it, you’re “eccentric”,
and that’s grounds for H. Martin to write one of those “cute”
stories about people, instead of the usual drivel about the
birds and the bees and the cats at Burnt Mountain.
Who's burning now ... on Burnt Mountain?
Chester Lane Addresses
Clayton School Group
Superintendent Edmonds,
Clayton County Association
President Peacock, and Teach
ers of the Clayton County School
System.
I consider it my personal privi
lege and honor to be on this, the
1963 Orientation program of the
Clayton County School System.
As you are aware, the Clay
ton County Chamber of Com
merce has long been one of your
avid boosters, and today is no
exception to this most cordial
relationship we share.
Since being asked by Hrs. Bell
some few weeks ago to have a
part on this significant program,
which I might add kicks off an
other record breaking year, I
have looked forward to having
the opportunity to informally
discuss our County and the re
lationship education and good
schools play in its growth.
In the essence of time, and by
dispensing with the customary
student-teacher jokes, I would
like to discuss with you how
Clayton County’s opportunities
can be your opportunities, too.
Opportunities and success work
hand in hand, and the success
our County has enjoyed these
past few years, during our trans
istion from a rural to an urban
economy, must be measured by
the same yardstick of success for
our school system due to the
importance of education in in
dustrial development.
This morning over 100 of you,
representing our new teachers,
joined me on a short tour and
saw. many sights, all evidence of
a growing county. We saw many
of our school facilities, of which
90% are less than 13 years old;
we saw new commercial business
under construction; the Atlanta
Army Depot, Metropolitan At
lanta’s 6th largest employer; the
State Farmers Market; and our
new industrial districts where
such companies as American
Can, Knox Glass and Union Bag-
Camp are located.
For the benefit of our new
teachers, I would like to diverse
for a moment and look at some
of our educational accomplish
ments and record of growth dur
ing the past 10 years.
Perhaps you have already
heard that Clayton County is
Georgia’s fastest growing coun
ty. While our population increas
ed 100% during the past 10 years,
and I might add we were the
only county in Georgia to do so,
our school population, during
this same period, increased over
300%. In 1954, we had 5,600 stu
dents enrolled in 10 schools. To
day, 1963, we are anticipating a
record enrollment of 16,000 stu
dents who will attend 20 schools.
During this same pace-setting
10 years of growth, the number
of teachers has increased also.
Ten years ago at a similar meet
ing such as this, there were 186
teachers; today there are 604
of you.
As you can see, while our coun
ty has grown, our school system
has grown even faster.
Today our school system, which
incidentally is the Bth largest in
Georgia, is big business in Clay
ton County. To give you an idea,
the amount of money being pro
vided for the education of our
youth is a record 6»/ 2 million dol
lars, representing 51c out of
every tax dollar collected.
Georgia today has many
counties that go wanting for new
people, new jobs and new in
dustry. Today there are counties
in Georgia that do not have the
first job to offer their June
graduates. Other counties are
finding their schools empty, and
each year see more and more
trained teachers, such as you,
leave due to the lack of avail
able opportunity.
Fortunately, we here in Clay
ton County are blessed with a
booming economy due to a strong
industrial and commercial de
velopment program which is
providing us with a balanced
source of tax revenue. Clayton
County can today proudly speak
of its two new modern high
schools, built and equipped for
the future. We, as citizens, can
proudly say we are education
conscious, due to our past sup
port of every bond issue offered
for capitol improvements. We, as
parents, can be proud of the fact
that all of our schools are ac
credited by the Georgia Accred
iting Commission, and our high
schools bp th« Southern Associa
. tion of Colleges -and Schools.
And. last hui-not .least*. few
counties in Georgia can match
Clayton’s record and past per
formances of providing local
supplement of salaries. While we
do think there is still room for
improvement on both the state
and local levels, we of the Cham
ber would like to remind each of
you there are few counties in
our state that have faced as
many challenging growth prob
lems, and there are even fewer
counties who have succeeded in
molding a school system such
as ours.
In closing, I would like to leave
you with just one thought, the
Clayton County challenge, which
is “planning for the future”.
Baring unforeseen calamities,
we will have:
1. A population of over 100,000
in another 10 short years.
2. Our schools will continue to
require 60 new classrooms a year.
3. Automobiles will double over
the 22,000 we now have, placing
an additional burden on our
present streets and major
thoroughfares.
I mention these visions of the

Marvin Morgan
Is Killed in
Plane Crash
M/Sgt. Marvin E. Morgan,
known to his many friends here
as “Don” was killed instantly
when the plane, an L-20 Beaver,
crashed on a routine training
flight, over Korea. The plane,
with Morgan and five officers
were first reported missing Aug.
4. An Army Patrol, Republic of
Korea, reached the scene of the
crash, Aug. 13 and reported no
survivors.
Bad weather and the craggy,
heavily wooded terrane hamp
ered the search. Eighth Army
Headquarters in Seoul sent a
Patrol to verify the incident,
which had occured in the moun
tains, 18 miles Southwest of
Kangsong-ni, S. Korea, the air
strip they had taken off from.
Born in Rome, Ga. in 1925, M/
Sgt. Morgan has made the Army
future because they create two
interrelated problems for or
ganizations such as the Chamber
and Board of Education; that is,
planning and preparing for our
expansion, and working together
to make it come true. Remember
only this: If we think small, we
will build small. If we think big,
we will stir imagination, gene
rate action, and get the job
done!
