MCCLENDON BROTHERS
END CAMPBELL RULE
Terry and Jimmy Combine Talents
To Lead Jonesboro Victory, 61-50
Friday night Campbell of Fairburn found out what it
was like to have Big Brother glaring down on them. In
fact, the Bears—as Campbell is called—had just as much
trouble with Little Brother.
Reference here of course is
given to the McClendon boys.

two (6-5), had 15 points in a
rousing third quarter which
served to pad his total of 28 for
the night. But it was the smaller
and younger Jimmy < 6-3) who
stole the thunder in the first
half, showing moves and spirit
which shadowed the perform
ance of Terry.
For the night, Jimmy a junior,
had 14 points, but his assists
proved he could have had more.
At one time in the third quarter,
he passed off five straight times
so that Terry could improve the
patent on his fall-away shot.
“We moved Jimmy in the pivot
a while tonight,” said Jonesboro
Coach Bayward McManus. “And
he proved he could do a fine job.
He has some good moves and is
much quicker than you’d think.”
Unless the eye is deceiving, the
people at Campbell’s gym could
well believe McManus. In the
first half Jimmy outrebounded
his brother, outshot his brother,
outstole his brother and general
ly did the things that little
brothers are not supposed to do.
Prompt Action Projects
Slated This Friday

morning (January 31) could save

otherwise die of cervical cancer,

THE DEATH of President
Kennedy has focused national
attention on the Constitutional
and statutory provisions for
ascension to the presidency.
There are some who favor
changing the presidential line
of succession as to who is to
follow the
Vice President
as chief execu
tive in the
event of his
removal from
office. A good
argument also
can be made
for leaving it
just as it is.
The Constitution explicitly
provides that the presidency
automatically devolves on the
Vice President, and leaves to the
Congress to establish by law
who would succeed him and so
on down the line.
Present law, under a 1947 en
actment, created this line of suc
cession after the Vice President:
Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives,. President Pro Tem
pore of the Senate, Secretary of
State, Secretary of Treasury,
Secretary of Defense, the At
torney General, the Postmaster
General, Secretary of Interior,
Secretary of Agriculture, Secre
tary of Commerce, Secretary of
Labor, and the Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Cabinet members become only
“acting” President until replaced
by a Speaker of the House or
Jonesboro jumped to an early
lead and the game was tied only
twice, at 2-2 and 8-8. But Camp
bell, paced by tall Warren Scar
brough with 19 points, kept in
contention with a swift second
quarter recovery before the fatal
third period occurred.
Dennis Moncus, a far-shooting
guard, followed Scarbrough for
Campbell, getting 11 points.
Ronnie Hardy was third with 10.
For Jonesboro, the McClendon
boys led the scoring, but tall and
improving Ted Samples had 12.
Until Friday night, Campbell had
won 15 straight games without
defeat, in a year which was not
supposed to be extraordinary for
the Bears.

; how it can almost always be
cured when found at this stage.
' The program on Friday is
; being sponsored by American
Cancer Society Units, the Medi
: cal Societies of Clayton, Fulton,
. DeKalb and Cobb Counties, and
by WSB Radio and Television.
Free movie passes to regular en
tertainment programs at nearby
theaters, and door prizes have
been added to the program as
added incentives for attend
ance.
“If we can get every woman
to have this test at least once
a year, deaths from uterine
cancer would practically dis
appear,” doctors claim.
The Society announced this
week that women normally re
ceiving services at the two
health clinics in Clayton County
would be able to get the test free
there.
Senate President Pro Tempore,
who upon elevation to the presi
dency serves for the remainder

*L- » * * *
f¥ WILL 'BE noted that the
folWiofet consideration is that
the office of the President be
held by an elected official, rather
than an appointed one. This, I
think, is to be desired in order
to keep our government as close
as possible to the people, and
answerable to the people.
James Madison, in one of The
Federalist essays on the Consti
tution, wrote that “the genius
of republican liberty” demands
that all power be derived from
the people and that those en
trusted with it should be kept
close to the people.
The United States is not a
perfect Republic in all its as
pects, of course, but we should
always give careful study to
any proposed changes in insti
tutions of our government which
have served us well, particularly
when it concerns the highest
and most powerful office in the
land.
We certainly never want
change just for the sake of
change, and whenever we decide
to bring it about, either by law
or Constitutional amendment, we
must be. certain that what we
are getting is an improvement
over what we had.
Happiness, I have discovered,
is nearly always a rebound from
hard work.

SPACE AGE COMES TO GEORGIA
Ga. Power Completes
Work On Thiokol
Georgia’s march into the space age took another step
forward today when the Thiokol Chemical Corp, plant in
Camden County began receiving electric power for opera
tions.
John J. McDonough, chairman of the board, Georgia
Power Company, announced
that power company crews com
pleted the final work necessary
for linking the new plant with
the Georgia utility firm’s net
work of generating plants and
transmission lines.
During ceremonies today at
the plant site, C. W. Roberts,
power company vice president,
and W. L. Berry, Thiokol plant
superintendent, threw switches
which started power flowing to
the new installation.
To meet the anticipated needs
of the Thiokol plant, Georgia
Power has built a new 44,000-
volt substation and 13 miles
of 44,000-volt transmission lines.
Cost of this construction pro
gram was approximately sl,-
019.700.
The new electric facilities,
Mr. McDonough said, were de
signed to meet both the Thiokol
plant’s early requirements and
any future expansion. The sub
station and line serving Thiokol
have been constructed to afford
future conversion to 115,000-volt
operation.
Because of extensive marsh
lands. poles for the transmission
line in many instances had to
be set with the aid of dynamite.
