Bobby Kennedy Is Conscience Stricken
As He Has Ruined Brother John
We’ve said it before and we'll say it again ...
It makes you real sick deep down inside to be
Irish and to realize that the Kennedys are Irish.
We salute relatives of New England—specif
ically Providence, R.l.—who were lawyers, sena
tors and judges and one presently a newspaper
colmunist—who felt the same way about, the
Kennedys of (.he "Bay of Hogs" Hyannisport.
They had no respect for "international boot
leggers,” manipulators of the stock market, and
just plain money-grabbing Kennedys who had
the background such as Honey Fitzgerald, the
scoundrel mayor of Boston, Mass. The President
named his Yacht, Honey Fitz, in honor of his
grandfather. Good for him.
We have great respect for the office of Presi
dent, but none whatever for the one who now
holds the highest office in the land. And as for
Bobby Kennedy, we d like to spit on his picture
—if we had one around the office.
There is one member of this clan, Teddy, who
seems to be disporting himself in a worthwhile
manner as Senator from Massachusetts. You
don’t hear much about him; he keeps his mouth
shut as Junior Senator, and we could almost like
this Kennedy.
But. look! What a dastardly thing John Ken
nedy did in FEDERALIZING the National Guard
of Alabama. He’ll go down in history as as big a
bust as Harry Truman, who was sponsored by the
notorious Prendergast, the political boss of Mis
souri.
John Kennedy is DEAD in the South. He is a
dead DUCK.
He can thank, in large part, his dear brother

Bobby, who probably is as big a kookie as ever
became appointed to a public office. Just think
that John Edgar Hoover, the great American
who for these long years has headed the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has to take orders from
such as this!
And to think that, once in a while, it is sug
gested that maybe Bobby Kennedy is presiden
tial timbre! He is some kind of timbre all right
—a timber wolf!
Would you compare morally or spiritually or
in any other respect Bobby Kennedy and Senator
Barry Goldwater, of the opposite political faith
—the Republican party?
You wouldn’t if you follow the record. A box
score of Bobby Kennedy is not a very pleasing
thing. It is a disgrace to the American system of
federal justice. Or injustice, let us say.
Head of the Justice Deartment—Bobby Ken
nedy! Good gosh!
This country has gone a long way down the
road in big power politics—and the road back is
long and steep and winding and full of pitfalls.
Who’s going to climb this highest mountain?
But now Bobby Kennedy is turning HONEST
and admitting that he has not been such a re
markable ASSET to his brother John, at that. He
is admitting that he has played heir in supports,
ing the 10 per cent minority against the §6 ptr
cent white majority. Maybe he ought to go into
a phone booth and tell Father so-and-so about
that. It’s the hour of confession. And what Bobby
could tell the Father would curl a normal Ameri
can's hair! He ought to change his name to
Booby!

municipal court judge fined us

“The judge said last time if
it happened again we would

“But, this is a free country
and many people have dogs—
even some of our neighbors—
and we love dogs and intend to

being recommended for Larry’s
asthma.”

Revival of Welcome Means Just
What it Says at First Baptist
We’d like to tell one and all, in connection with the WEL
COME Revival starting Sunday at First Baptist Church of For
est Park, that we have gained a new appreciation of Rev. Hoyt
Farr’s church and congregation through association with one of
the finer members.
For the summer months, Miss Barbara Starr has been work
ing with us on the, Clayton County newspapers. Miss Starr and
her fine Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., room-mate, Judy Hayes, returned
Sunday to LaGrange College for their junior year.
We’ll certainly miss Barbara Starr, who set up the books on
The Forest Park News and who also wrote entertaining stories
in the rather brief time of her employment with us.
Miss Starr is a Sunday School teacher at First Baptist
Church, and she has a class of young girls who continue to
bring in more members for her fine teaching, advice and coun
sel. Maybe Miss Starr has the best record for regular attendance
of any department in the Church.
She is such a fine girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Starr,
that not long ago we paused to talk with Mrs. Vollie Burks about
her and she said: “I would be happy to have Sharon under
Barbara as a counselor all the time," Sharon worked with us a
year ago during, the summer months, and she is a wonderful
girl, too, and is now enrolling at West Georgia College for her
freshman year.
But we simply wanted to say that if inspiration for a revival
is needed, the example of Miss Barbara Starr should stand out
as a shining light. And her room-mate, Miss Hayes, is another
example of what regular Church attendance and fine family life
mean to all young people. Miss Hayes, a Methodist, teaches a
Sunday School Class.
And these two outstanding girls are the athletic type, too,
as well as being very pretty indeed. Barbara plays guard and
Judy plays in the backfield on the LaGrange College “Powder
puff” football team. Personally, we’d hesitate to line up against
them; they play for keeps.

sense of values” of many of our
parents which is seen in the
’ lives of the children and young
people of our public schools. He
pointed out that a high percent

I was from the families where the
! children have passed their par
ents in basic education, and
from broken homes.
The Clayton County Ministers
Association and the Forest Park

into one organization. The presi
dent of this newly formed group
is Rev. Charles Vaughn, pastor

handsome field goal for the win
ning three points in a game that
was so wild at the finish that it
put a rodeo to shame.
Not a soul among the 6,000 or
more dared turn toward an exit
in view of the breathless finish.
North Clayton had to contend
with a genius named Leslie Wil
son, halfback, who was given a
fit by his own center, who snap
ped the ball everywhere but into
the stands on Wilson’s punt at
tempts, which were truly great.
The first snap was one of those
a kicker has to jump for, and
Wilson came down, looked
around and into the faces of
flying Eagles, and boomed the'
ball near the Eagle goal. He did
that sort of thing all night. Only
one snap was really good. The
rest were horrible!
As the Eagles fought furiously
to win, starting with about 10
minutes left in the game, Wilson ’
put the burden on them by tak
ing a low, pitiful snap and bang
ing the football down to the
nine-yard line of North Clayton,
where it stopped on the roll.
During the course of their wild
adventure to cross the Ram goal,
91 yards away, the Eagles had
to gamble on fourth down to
keep the ball and QB Taylor did
it on a keeper for a first down.
Larry Short made a BIG play,
after Brannen had burst through
the middle on a sizeable gain.
And after Brannen again had
shown the Rams the facts of life
about stopping a bulldozer on
flying feet.
Taylor, too, was fighting his
heart out by running keeper
plays around end eventually it
was fourth down, 59 seconds left,
five yards to go for a VITAL
first down.
And here came Terry Short, all
145 pounds of him at halfback,
and the measure by the officials
showed that there was nothing
SHORT about Short. He made
it! That should have won the
game!
But such was the spinning of
the wheel of fortune, destiny, of
ficials, and other things, the War
Eagles were out of luck. 31 sec
onds showed on the clock.
Desperate Rams in the middle
of the line took the matter into
their own hands. They CLOB
BERED the North Clayton cen
ter, Tim Simnfcns, and when QB
Taylor reached for the ball,
planning to hand it off for a
fullback Brannen pile-driving
slant to score from the one-foot
line, Taylor couldn’t get ahold
of the ball!
So he was MOBBED as he
tried desperately to slant off
tackle himself on a keeper, and
the game ended on this NOTE.
A truly SOUR NOTE, indeed.
Had COLLEGE PARK, in fact,
violated the Cardinal rule of hit
ting the center BEFORE the ball
was snapped?
COLD LOGIC indicates that
that is exactly what happened!
But so wild was the finish that
; officials may be excused for not
catching it. A Free Press spotter
: on the goal line saw the viola
tion.

IT WAS another of those
nights to remember as cars, with

stream even after the k^k-otr.

And there was no place in the
rather small stadium to sit . . .

were impelled to pass on the
