What Kind of a Race for Governor
Would Honest Ernest Make Now?
Would Honest Ernest Vandiver like to run for
Governor again — in light of the communist-in
spired plot that resulted in an intercollegiate
interracial marriage — the very first in Dixie —
at the U. of Georgia, the nation's oldest char
tered university?
Georgia has a proud heritage, a really select
alumni, in spite of the fact that so many failed
to back up a great coach, Wallace Butts, who
brought Georgia undying international fame in
football.
But now Georgia has been shot on the ground,
right out of the double-barreled shotgun of the
Karl Marx manifesto. The pat scheme of the
. Communists in infiltrating schools and colleges
is for the primary purpose of mongrelizing the
races. They want the good ole U. S. A. to become
one with Nineveh and Tyre, with Sodom and Go
morrah, with the once great Rome, and with the
once proud Egypt, among other lost civilizations.
You see, the Communists put over their nefari
ous schemes by using a hard-core of leaders to
knock off the great majority — without firing a
shot. They have done it all over Europe, they’re
now bearing down on America, with the aid and
comfort and tacit approval of the national ad
ministration. The national administration, with
Bobby Kennedy out in front and President John
Kennedy admitting, in the background, that he
is “not very popular” in the South because of his
“civil rights’ stand, is trying to cram mongrel
iz^tion down the throats of Southem-whites; and
we believe they will not be able, in tliF lohg run,
to accomplish their purpose.
We believe that the voters — north, south, east
and west — will repudiate the Roman Catholic
Kennedys, and introduce a more substantial type
of leadership — like, shall we say, the Goldwater
type. He is a man of high moral character, and,
boy, does this country stand in need of leader-

When it was on the “level”. The
visiting fireman outdrove all of
them on one hole, proving the
old adage that a blind pig will
find an acorn.
The Depot course, so well con
ducted by Pro Adams and aided
by Sarge Charles Roper, is a
masterful —if not MASTERS —
course, with no rough to disturb
you, and no hills to climb, with
fairway neat and greens smooth
as satin and fast as halfback
Harry Wrens, the old Oglethorpe
grid star who is head of civilian
affairs at the Depot.
Thanks, gentlemen, for the
memory Col. Murray may have
enjoyed this from a vantage
point in Heaven.

Chaplain Moss Must
Have Prayer for Rain
Chaplain Moss of the AGD,
who was teamed with against
Col. Louis Crouch and Jack Troy
last Wednesday afternoon in a
“furious” golf match, kept talk
ing to himself in such a manner,
as: “Come on, Moss; you’ve got
to sink this one,” and sure
enough he was dropping long
putts, a la the heydey of Bobby
Jones, and first thing Col.
Crouch and Troy knew they were
three down, after the first three
holes.
Moving along to the eighth,
with heavy black clouds rolling
in from the direction of At
lanta, Col. Crouch, noting that
we were two down and two to
go, on the first nine, suggested
it was “do or die.” So we de-

ship like that! It does, indeed. Too many people
— good people — are straying away from the
Church, neglecting their children, drinking too
much booze, living it up and burning the candle
at both ends.
Stop and think, friends, what you’re doing to
yourself, your children, your county, your state
and your nation. Got no guts? No moral fibre
... no intestinal stamina? Have you forgot God?
Just remember your forefathers, who fought
deserts, pestilence, Indians, snakes, wild animals,
thirst and hunger and overcame everything else
to make this country a place in which EVERY
FOREIGNER would love to live!
It is a great country in spite of the Kennedys
and the likes of such as Ralph McGill and Mar
tin Luther King, Junior, and the NAACP, and the
Communists, all of whom seem to fit together
like peas in a pod. There is no secret what the
communist-inspired groups can do. The U. of
Georgia has just gone through something almost
as bad as the father of the boy, a mill executive
in South Georgia, who issued that heart-rending
statement: "THIS IS THE END OF THE
WOLRD!”
We grieve for that fine father, and for his wife,
and for the rest of his family. What a HOR
RIBLE THING for a boy to do to his family! He
is getting now what he deserves. He is living
among the strange people in Greenwich Village,
New York. He deserves it; he and that colored
gal, who really played him for a sucker, deserve
one another. They’ll come up with a hybrid
pickaninny in a rather short time now, as the
date of conception is not established, but even
Dr. Addlehead, President of the U. of Georgia,

fee shop on the Georgia campus, so he wouldn’t
have known much about where they did other
things besides drink coffee. How about that!

What Excuse Does Ole
Harry Truman Have Now?
Harry Truman, former President, sounds like he has entered
a phase senility when he attacks Gov. Wallace of Alabama on
civil rights procedure. ("Gov. Wallace is making an ass of him
self,” he declared).
It was Truman who said, and we quote: “I would throw them
out of my office (the NAACP) if they tried to tell me what to
do!” A bigger ass is Truman, king size, on the order of a Moscow
mule.
Truman, who qualified for President by being a Prendergast
man in Missouri, was a bankrupt haberdasher, even though he
had a JEWISH partner named Jacobs, now dead. When you
can’t succeed in business under these conditions, you certainly
need help from the likes of Prendergast to jump from Senator
to President. Os course, an Act of God (Roosevelt’s death) put
Truman in office the first time, and a foolish Republican named
Dewey played into his hands when Truman ran and won the na
tion’s highest office.
Truman is no real favorite with many army people, we feel
sure, for his high-handed action in removing Gen. Douglas Mc-
Arthur from Korea, when McArthur might just have knocked off
what later was developed. But Truman doesn’t accept any blame
for that. He even called Drew Pearson an SOB in a letter, later
published, because Pearson didn’t hold that Margaret was so hot
as a piano player. A man is entitled to his opinion, Mr. Truman!
What excuse do you have?

houses, of unique design, each of which
will accommodate 1,000 bathers at a
single time. An unusual feature of these
scrupulously maintained facilities is that
the dressing rooms surround indoor
flower gardens.
Concession Stands—For the conven
ience of visitors, concession stands are
located at several places around the
beach, offering anything from lunches
and soft drinks to beach umbrellas, swim
suits, suntan lotion and photographic
film.
Beach Pavilion —Here the visitor may
obtain lunch or dinner in this huge,
open-air pavilion and be protected
against the sun and rain. Dancing may be
enjoyed during the summer months on
Saturday nights. Called a “peek into the
future” by Parks and Recreation au
thorities. the pavilion consists of 21 giant
shells, towering 19 feet into the air from
slim bases to form an over-lapping shel
ter over an area half the size of a foot
ball field.
Ski Pavilion —A pavilion of unique
design that gives the appearance of
floating on water has been erected on
the West side of the lake. The pavilion
extends 120 feet into the water and has
7,030 square feet of floor space that can
be used to seat nearly 1,000 persons. The
steel and concrete structure also is used
for private parties and special events.
Calculated to give protection from sun
and showers, the roof protrudes gener
ously past the floor area. The roof is
composed of a continuous series of seven
half-circle concrete barrel vaults sup
ported by tapered columns. A mezzanine
houses excellent facilities for news media
representatives coering the ski tourna
ments.
Miniature Train—One of the South’s
longest miniature train rides skirts
Chickadee Lake as it travels from East
Beach to West Beach. The almost one
mile round trip is fascinating to thou
sands of youngsters and grownups alike
each season.
Other facilities—Among the other rec
reational facilities available in Robin
Lake - Chickadee Lake area are speed
boat rides, water skiing, canoeing, a
miniature Mississippi River steamboat
and foot powered paddleboats. A large,
grassp play area is provided for the chil
dren and the Gardens sightseeing trolley
leaves the South Bathhouse periodically
for tours around the entire Callaway
Gardens. Deck tennis and volley ball
are included in the activities.
Water Skiing—The fastest growing out
door sport, water skiing, is a regular
activity at Robin Lake. The skiing area
is well apart from the swimming area
and professional ski instructions are
available. A daily free ski show is pre
sented during the season.
FSU Circus —A daily circus, the famed
Florida State University troupe, in
which all performers are college stu
dents, is presented at the north end of
Robin Lake. Now under a real circus
tenet, the circus features tumbling,
trapeze, trick bicycle and unicycle riding
and other gymnastic acts. The students
also supervise a recreation program for
youngsters who are guests at the cot
tages and motel.
Parking—Paved, landscaped parking
areas at Robin Lake will accommodate
2,100 cars. Nearby overflow parking areas
will take care of another 2,000 cars. The
parking areas are well lighted at night.
General—The beach is open for swim
ming and water sports from April to
September 15. Hours are from 9 a.m.
until 7 p.m. The beach remains open
three nights a week for night swimming.
An orchestra plays for a dance at the
dining pavilion each Saturday night.

A FINAL GENERAL NOTE
Callaway Gardens were designed and
are operated for the benefit of the
people. Any income from services or
activities for which a charge is made
goes back into the maintenance and de
velopment of the Gardens, to make them
more beautiful and more complete.
Many special programs are carried out
annually for educational and community
service purposes, with the public schools,
garden clubs and other youth and adult
groups participating.
The Gardens are open year-round and
plantings have been planned to the
maximum extent possible to provide a
view of the natural beauty of the South
ern Piedmont at any season. The golf
course is open for play 12 months out
of the year and sport fishing in Moun
tain Creek Lake from September through
May.
The Gardens offers something for every
member of the family at every season
of the year!
Tommy Lamb
(Continued From Page 3)
unsuccessfully to beat him in
the Junior Boys’ Slalom in the
1963 Georgia Open Water Ski i
championships here Sunday.
Tommy Lamb, a “wolf” in a
ski suit, won his first tourna
ment, first cup, and probably
the first kiss his dad, Chris
Lamb, has given him since he
was a baby!
Tommy, a sandy-haired, blond,
wiry type young man, is only 13
years of age, as of last July 12th.
For about four years his devoted
and conscientious father, who is
a piano salesman, has been driv
ing the boat for Tommy’s ski
training at Cypress Lake, States
boro—which is, Statesboro is,
the only Statesboro in the world.
Now Tommy Lamb—LAMß?—
is established as one of the finest
competitors that the only States
boro has developed — probably
the finest —at age 13! He’s
Statesboro’s FIRST state water
Ski Champ!
There’s a legend about Stone
wall Jackson. When he died they
cut him open to see what made
him tick. What did they find?
GUTS!
Last Friday Tommy couldn’t
practice; the lower part of his
back was killing him. His dad
rushed him over to LaGrange to
see Dr. (King) Cotton, chiro
practor. Dr. Cotton found a slip
ped sacrum and two vertebrae
out of place. He got Tommy to
feeling a lot better, but the boy
found he still could only prac
tice about 15 minutes, and so
back he went to see Dr. Cotton
Friday night.
And the second trip did it.
Tommy returned to the Callaway
ski course, and he was okay. To
day he won the championship
against eight experts. He was
classed, Tommy was, as a NOV
ICE, INTERMEDIATE.
That’s kinda funny. He’s the
doggondest novice, age 13, who
ever shot across the water with
a short rope at 34 miles an hour
and made 2 1-2 buoys in cham
pionship form.
Someone had suggested to
Tommy a week ago that he
should eat more GRITS, and he
showed more GRIT Sunday than
the other eight boys put to
gether. Kirby McCormick, from
Independence, Mo., placed sec
ond. Tommy has skimmed over
the ramp and landed on his
skis. He’il pick up all the marbles
one day.
An eighth grader at Pittman
High School, Bulloch County,
Tommy makes good grades. "I
would like to be a ski champion,”
he said, after winning the boys’
title. “My father would like for
me to be a piano technician.”
Actually, Tommy hasn’t made
up his mind what he wants to
be. But he’s sold on one thing:
To be the best of whatever he is.
He’s a great kid, and when he

with its unusual golfers’ bridges

Plantings in the Clubhouse
area include several varieties of
holly and a hillside with over

Before becoming utterly esta
tic in the description of the flora
and fauna and Cason Callaway
vegetable garden, it is well to
mention that Callaway Gardens,
in a sports sense, is famous for
the world-renowned Masters Ski
tournament established by Fuller
(Bo) Callaway. Mr. Callaway re
cently visited France and other
■ ski spots on the continent for
I fresh ideas and new talent for
the great tournament. We would
not even mention Cypress Gar
dens in the same breath. And
that takes into account, at the
same time, that the writer of
this article is a native-born
Floridian.
* * *
THE MAGNIFIENCE of the
Gardens, combined with a natu
ral simplicity that is God-given,
brings to each and every visitor
—and they come by the hun
dreds of thousands from all over
the world—a sense of peace and
' wellbeing that IS difficult to
describe.

In the hush of the Mahim woods

Great Creator at first dark, when
the birds silently wing through
the trees to their nests, and the
sky changes from a soft blue to
a softer golden hue, and then
fades into a deep purple blue.
There’s a song at twilight,
when the lights are low, and the
flick'ring shadows softly come
and go. Perhaps you feel like
singing or humming, and you
have a feeling that all is well
with the world. For here is a
spiritual affinity that you alone
have with nature, and surely you
are at peace with yourself. That
is another of the finer ways we
know to describe Ida Cason Cal
laway Gardens.
It is indeed tonic for the soul.
It is manna for mere mortal
man. And once you have visited
Ida Cason Callaway Gardens,
you will never be satisfied until
you return for visits that impel

ings that surely must be said to
