Some cars do their best out on the highway. Others seem tailor-made
for driving on city streets.
Then there’s Corvair—that gets along just great most anywhere.
Swishing along a highway. Scurrying around in traffic. Or wading
through a soggy trail.
Take highway driving. Corvair’s got a bigger new engine with
horsepower up nearly 19% in the standard version. But in case
figures don’t impress you, just wait until you head a
Corvair for some faraway places. You’ll get the message.
Take city driving. Corvair’s trim size, light steering
(because the engine weight’s in the rear) and flat corner-

ter of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Cowan.
The STAR Student then se
lected Fred Smith, teacher at
Jonesboro High School, as her
STAR Teacher, the teacher who
made the greatest contribu-
: tion to the student’s scholastic
achievement.
Cathie serves as STAR Stu
dent for both Jonesboro High
School and the Clayton County
School System area.
Others in the Clayton School
System area named STAR Stu-|
dents for their individual high
schools, and the STAR Teachers
they named are: Claire Maree
Spiker of Forest Park High
School, who named Mrs. M. E.
Kirkland as her STAR Teacher,
and Stephen Carswell Davis of
North Clayton High School, who,'
: in turn, named James H. Wil-
I liams as his STAR Teacher.
The announcements were!
■ made as a part of the Student i
j Teacher Achievement Recogni- i
I tion (STAR) program, sponsored
statewide by the Georgia State
Chamber of Commerce and in
the Clayton School System area
by the Clayton County Chamber
of Commerce.
Designation of STAR Students
was based on top ranking scores
i they made on the December 7,
! 1963 College Board Scholastic
' Aptitude Test and scholastic
j averages during the first semes-
ing make anything from rash-hour driving to parking a cinch.
Take back-road driving. The weight of Corvair’s engine bearing
down on the rear wheels gives them remarkable gripping power on
most any kind of surface, whether it’s loose, solid, dry, wet—or even
snow covered.
Something else you can take note of, too: There’s no radiator to
Overheat or run dry. No hoses to check or replace. No need for anti-

There is only one problem

some.
Clayton County Country Club
Taking Shape in Jonesboro
Metropolitan Atlanta’s newest
private club, the Lake Shore
Country Club, is rapidly taking
on the appearance of being one
of the most beautiful and unique
in its natural setting overlooking
three-mile long Lake Spivey.
The sparkling white beach is in
and fenced and the clubhouse is
approximately seventy-five per
cent completed with hopes of
use in about thirty days with
help from the weatherman.
Sailing and fishing boats will be
provided for the members this
summer.
The most exciting use of the
club’s 153 acres of rolling wooded
hills, spotted with streams and
ponds, is the championship
18-hole golf course, designed and
laid out meticulously by Lester
Lawrence of Columbus, who is
one of Georgia’s well known golf
course buildfers. All tees are at
least 50 feet from front to back,
thus insuring a challenge to pro
and “duffer” alike. The greens,
when constructed this spring,
will all contain a minimum of
5000 square feet of putting sur
faces, guarded by bunkers and
natural hazards of streams and
woods.
The Par-72 Championship
18-hole golf course, when com
pleted, will stretch more than
6800 yards. It will be constructed
so that members can play with
out too many frustrations yet
challenge the skill of the world’s
greatest players. The course will
be watered by its own watering
system, fed from the beautiful
ponds serving both as reservoirs
and hazards for the poorly hit
golf ball.
Actual construction began
over a year ago and by this sum
mer the club hopes to have 9
holes open and in play. Much
depends" on the weather, but the
tedious work has already been
accomplished and all Clayton
County can be proud of this
beautiful new addition to our
growing county.
The first step in any forest
management program is to con
trol forest fires, say foresters
'with the Cooperative Extension
Service.
A well-balanced diet pays off
in the event of an illness. “A
well-nourished body,” says Miss
Lucile Higginbotham of the Ex
tension Service, “responds to
treatment better than one in a
run-down condition."

streets being badly in need of repair, these streets I
Mountain View areas. These streets are critically in I
need of re-patching.
If elected, I will cooperate with city officials, the I
other County Commissioners and county representa- I
fives to get laws passed. I feel that the citizens in I
this area have been neglected by the present Com- I
missioners. The citizens I have talked with seem to I
agree with me. If these neglected streets can be H
repaired, these citizens could see some results of I
thir tax money, as we know that a large amount of I
the tax money comes from this area of the county. I
I wish to answer a question asked me many times, I
as to whether I am a licensed real estate broker. B
The answer is “No” and I have no desire for one.
I must say I can't blame the people for asking, as B
my opponent is in this business and has used the B
county water and equipment for improving large I
tracts of land, enabling him to make large sales. I
One sale I know of amounted to approximately I
$300,000 and this sale was handled by Mr. Duncan’s I
company. The commission on this sale alone was I
approximately $25,000. This sale was made possible I
at the taxpayers’ expense. I could name several I
other transactions which he has used for personal I
gain.
Also. I have been asked whether I am connected I
with an Insurance Company or had a license to sell ■
insurance and the answer to this is definitely “No”. I
Some of our present Commissioners are in the in- I
surance business..
I would like to add that I would be in favor of H
County insurance being let out by a bid method, ■
insuring fairness both to the Insurance Companies I
and the taxpayers, saving the latter a great deal of I
money.
