LEGISLATURE APPROVED THIS REVISION OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
Atlanta’s Metropolitan Area Gets Two Congressmen for First Time in History
'Grateful Chamber Says Thanks;
Each Donor to Be Honored'
The Clayton County Chamber
of Commerce, in voicing thanks
to the many contributors who
have made their new building
possible, says all Clayton coun
tians will benefit through the use
of the new facility.
President John Dean, express
ing thanks to all on behalf of
the Board of Directors, stated
the success of the campaign can
be traced directly to the united
effort of each and every volun
teer who has given of his time,
energy and know-how during the
past seven weeks of the initial
drive.
The Clayton Chamber kicked
off in early December a concen
trated drive to raise a minimum
of $20,000 to construct a new
modern Chamber of Commerce
Building. Over 50 businessmen
and civic-minded citizens repre
senting all areas of Clayton
County, have worked under the
able leadership of General Chair
man H. C. Traylor. Mr. Marmon
Born, Grady Lindsey and Arthur
Perkins are assisting in this
drive as Co-Chairman of various
divisions.

PTA Begins Juvenile
Protection Program
Because the home, school,,
church, and the community
shape the lives of children and
youth, it is the responsibility of
the PTA to cooperate in or initi
ate programs that help these in
stitutions provide the under
standing, guidance, and proper
training needed by each child.
This is basic in our program.
We must determine the needs
of children in the community.
We must cooperate with all com
munity groups that are con
cerned with the protection of de
pendent and otherwise disad
vantaged children—children who
are physically or mentally handi
capped or placed at a severe dis
advantage by some family situa
tion —to see that such children
get necessary care. We must also
see that delinquents are provided
with opportunities, under
thoroughly trained personnel,
for rehabilitation so they can
take rightful places in their own
groups and can grow up to be
come responsible citizens.
OBJECTIVES
1. To know the needs of chil
dren and youth in the commun
ity, and through action, to en
deavor to satisfy those needs.
2. To determine the services
available for children, and to
acquaint parents and teachers
with these services.
3. To use all available knowl
edge of the causes of juvenile de
linquency in searching out and
eliminating contributing factors
in home, school and community.
4. To promote the use of ef
fective, up-to-date methods of
preventing delinquency and of
dealing with juvenile offenders.
5. To increase community
awareness of, and concern for,
its neglected and dependent chil
dren, and to point out to -the
community its responsibility for
an ongoing program of protec
tion.
6. To study, and to encourage
PTA members’ interest in, the
school and community services
and programs needed to cope
with the problem of school drop
outs.
FOREST PARK, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1964
Clayton County Placed in New
Sixth Congressional District
New District to Represent
455,575 People, 16 Counties
Georgia’s brand new Congressional Redistricting plan,
passed by the Legislature in a post mid-night session last
Saturday morning, will, in the long run, probably affect
Clayton County as much as any county in state. The new
set up will place Clayton County in the Sixth District along
with 15 other counties. The Dis
trict includes: Clayton, Henry,
Fayette, Carroll, Coweta, Heard,
Troup, Meriweather, Spalding,
Pike, Upson, Lamar, Monroe,
Butts, Jones and Bibb.
Clayton was included In the
old Fourth District with great
deal fewer people. With the ad
dition of Bibb County, Georgia’s
in the state. In fact, the Sixth
district will be as large as any
in thes tate. In fact, the Sixth
is the largest of the 10 Districts
with a population of 455,575 ac
cording to the 1960 census. The
average of the other 10 is in the
neighborhood of 400,000. Rep
resentative Groover of Bibb
County said he would not chal
lenge this set-up.
The final vote on the plan was
133 to 69.
Congressman Jack Flynt of
Griffin was not immediately
available for comment on the
new plan, but he had stated
earlier that he would not dis
approve of a plan which would
include Bibb. It doesn’t seem
likely that Congressman Flynt’s
position has been weakened by
the new plan. His re-election is
almost certain.
, 7. To study, and to encourage
■ PTA members’ interest in, the
I school and community services
: and programs needed to cope
■ with the problems of children of
■ migrant parents.
8. To assist with developing
• and promoting any new services
, that contribute to the well-being
of migrant children and to keep
, ing students in school until they
graduate. Help to improve serv
’ ices already in existence.
9. To encourage and support
local, state, and federal legisla
tion designed to deal effectively
with the problems of dependent,
neglected and delinquent chil
dren.
Science Fair Slated
At Forest Park High
The Science Club of Forest
Park is sponsoring a Science
Fair Friday, Feb. 28, at the gym
nasium. Students will compete
for a chance at the District
Science Fair (in the Clayton (
County area) and, if they are
successful there, will go on to ,
the State.
Many of these projects have
a lot of work and planning be
hind them and are very inter
esting and educational. Every- '
one is invited to drop by and
look them over any time Friday
night between 7 and 9.

POLITICAL RALLY
All candidates running for
office on April 4 are invited
to come to Mountain View
School for a short speech and
’ to meet the people and giving
. the people a chance to meet
the candidates.
So candidates put this date
on your calendar for 8 p.m.
and watch the papers for more
final plans.
> Rally is being sponsored .
: by the Mountain View Area
i Youth Center and the Ki- i
wanis Club.
★★★ ★ ★ ★
Except for the addition of Bibb
and the change from the Fourth
to the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, Clayton County will not be
too greatly affected; although we
will probably be as affected as
anyone.
Os course, Fulton County will
receive one congressman and De-
Kalb and Rockdale will have one.
: This breaks up the nation’s sec
ond largest Congressional Dis
trict which was presented by
Congressman Weltner. On Mon
day of last week the U. S. Su
preme Court ruled that the 10
districts must have equal rep
resentation on a population basis
' which gives recognition to the
Atlanta area and its some one
million persons.
Marchman, Cole
Head Red Cross
Campaign
Mrs, Frank G. Marchman, of
Ellenwood, and Tom Cole, of
1 Jonesboro, are coordinating the
activities of the Red Cross
i March Educational Month Cam
paign for Clayton County. They
have been named to spearhead
this phase of the annual Red
Cross Month, which is sponsored
by the Metropolitan Atlanta
Red Cross Chapter.
Mrs. Marchman, who is Red
Cross coordinator for the coun
ty, and Cole, public information
Representative, will assist Mrs.
Maggie Davis, nationally-known
Atlanta writer, who is chairman
of the month-long program.
Announcing the appointments,
Lee Rogers, chapter public
jnformation-public relations
chairman, pointed out that
March has been traditionally
Red Cross Month. Formerly, a
fund campaign was conducted,
but because of the support given
Red Cross through the fall
United Appeal, this is no longer
necessary. March is now an
information and educational
month in Clayton and the other
four counties in the chapter’s
jurisdiction.
“This is an opportune time to
inform the residents of the area
about the services available to
them, and to present to them
the opportunities of serving the
community as Red Cross volun
teers”, Rogers said.
Mrs. Marchman and Cole, in
coordination with Mrs. Davis
and her committee, have
planned activities centered
around the changing techniques
of Red Cross srevices. Since the
bloodmobile community visits
are being reactivated in Clayton
County this spring emphasis
will be put on this service during
the month-long campaign.
CUBSCOUT
BANQUET HELD
Cub Scout Pack of Morrow
had their Blue and Gold ban
quet last Thursday night. The
food was delicious and enjoyed
by all.
Awards were given to a num- ;
ber of boys and several new boys
came in and received the Bob- ;
cat pin.
Penny Jones led everyone in ;
a song after dinner. The song
was in German and put in '
motions. But it was fun.
We surely appreciate the won
derful program Mr. Walker of
Atlanta had for us. He told us
the story of how the first bow
and arrow came to the Indians.
He also explained the right way
and the wrong way a bow and
arrow should be used. It was
most interesting.
