YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS IT - FOREST PARK vs. NO RTH CLAYTON THIS FRIDAY NIGHT IN FOREST PARK
THE SQUADS of both schools, North Clayton's Eagles, South Georgia AA champ
ions, and Forest I’ark, looking for better days in football, are ready for the opener
this Friday night in the handsome Forest Park High Kiwanis stadium. Forest

That great Fall sport that really sends ’em bursts upon the summery scene Friday
night and Saturday when all four of Clayton County’s football teams venture forth for
their baptism under fire.
Forest Park will be the focal point for it’s at Kiwanis Field Friday night at 8 that
those two “friendly neighbors” butt heads in what should resolve itself into another
titanic struggle.
The 4,500 seats are virtually
certain to be filled and human
ity spilling over into the side
lines for Forest Park and its par
tisans are clamoring for revenge
for the 2-0 upset of a year ago.
A crowd of over 5.000 is not un

Taking Aim On Rockdale
JOEL SMITH, senior quarterback of Jonesboro’s promising Card
inals, takes dead aim on Rockdale, the Eagles’ opening opponent
this Friday night at Conyers. Rockdale defeated Jonesboro, 14
to 0, in last year’s game; the tables may be turned this time,
Clayton will bring a host of sup
porters too, to cheer on their
heroes who hope to continue
their brilliant play of last season.

body else took the Cardinals for

boro has a new coach in Bud

“old” ones who have gained a

And on Saturday W. A. Foun

Fountain has a 3-6 record last

Panthers, 2 to 0, in last year’s opener, and then won 12 games in a row. The Pan

By Journal’s Eric
“Any questions?” The Atlanta Journal’s political car
toonist, Eric, kept asking his Forest Park Kiwanis Club
ladies night audience plaintively, as he kept them in
stitches with cornpone humor relating to many fields and
professions, including his own, the newspaper field.
It developed as program chair
man Mit Bradford introduced
Eric, that he had failed in the
second grade because he couldn’t
pass the bathroom.
Eric was also having a little
’ trouble with his teeth —he didn’t
can, right, smile approval. Occasion was the
bank's fine dinner honoring and “welcoming
aboard” new Depot Comander Alexander of
Laurens, S. C. Notables were in attendance to
welcome Col. Alexander. Story on page 6.

Claims Injuries
During Windstorm
Lawyers for Mrs. Grace Moon, of Atlanta, have filed a
damage and personal injury suit asking for $125,000 dam
ages against Lake Spivey Parks, Inc., according to papers
’ filed in the clerk’s office in the Jonesboro Courthouse.
The suit is based on the contention of Mrs. Moon in
the petition to the Superior Court i
of Judge Harold Banke that she I
suffered grievious injuries at |
Lake Spivey “on or about the
24th day of July, 1962.’’
Petitioner, according to the
petition, “went to Lake Spivey
with a group of adults and teen
agers from the Cascade Baptist
Church in Atlanta, Ga.”
The petition then shows—
“ That petitioner purchased a
ticket for admittance to Lake
Spivey at the gate of defendant’s
facilities before being admitted
to the premises.
“That at all times relevant to
this petition, your petitioner was
an invitee of the defendant here
in.
“That at all times relevant to
this petition, defendant owed to
your petitioner the duty to use
ordinary care to protect petition
-1 er from injury while she was on
, i defendant’s premises.
“That after petitioner and the
' I group she was with had eaten
; j lunch, petitioner and some of
■ the teenage party went swim
ming in defendant’s lake at one
of the beaches designated for
swimming purposes.
"That at or about two o’clock
p m., it appeared that a thunder
storm was approaching, and the
lifeguard blew his whistle, and
ordered all swimmers out of the
water.
"Petitioner shows that she
came out of the water and pro
ceeded to the picnic table where
she and her party had eaten
lunch; that she gathered up
some of the picnic apparatus
j and started in the direction of
her parked automobile.
“Petitioner shows that in order
to reach her automobile, which
was parked in the parking area
north of the picnic area, she was
required to walk in a northerly
direction along a roadway or
! footpath. That such roadway or
। footpath was the shortest and
most direct route to petitioner’s
automobile.
“Petitioner shows that as she
: proceeded along said pathway,
she came to a small building
standing approximately five or
six feet to the west of said road
way.
“That said small building con
| tained a record player, common
, ly known as a ‘Juke Box’.
“That said small building was
