$50,000,000 City Is Planned
In Future of Clayton County
Forest Park is due to have some competition in the not
too distant future.
It was learned yesterday that a large development com
pany, backed by oil money, has taken an option on 3,000
acres of Clayton County land approximately four miles
southwest of Forest Park with
the idea of creating a brand-new,
complete city which would rival
Forest Park in population and
size, it is believed.
The self-sustaining city will
have its own industrial center,
shopping center, residential sec
tions, schools, churches and rec
reation facilities.
Cost can only be roughly esti-
dent, accepted the awards for
the Jonesboro Woman’s Club.
Other members attending the
convention were Mrs. C. E.

Scholarships are awarded on the
basis of musicianship displayed
by the student in an individual
audition.

Tommy Vaughan Defeats
Lamar Foster in Run-Off
Tommy Vaughan, Forest Park
contractor, defeated Lamar Fos
ter, insurance man also of For
est Park, in last Saturday’s run
off election for the Northern
District 1 Commissioners race.
The vote was Vaughan 1847 and
Foster 1646; the margin was 201
votes.
Tommy Vaughan had been the
top man in the four-way contest
in the April 4th primary. In that
race Vaughan recorded 2768
votes to Foster’s 2553. Colie
Adamson and Jerry Tomasello
recorded 1732 and 1226 votes re
spectively. This was the only
runoff of a possible four that de
veloped from the April 4th pri
mary.
Only 3493 voters found it nec
essary to return to the polls for
the runoff. This is less than one
half the record 8.000 that voted
on the 4th. Even voting at a rec
ord pace, Clayton County turned
out less than 50 per cent of the
registered voters. This county
has got to have one of the worst
voting records in the state and
it is a record about which the
people should be concerned.
Mr. Vaughan and the other
successful candidates will be
sworn in and take over their of
ficial duties on January 1. 1965.

Successful Horse Show
A most successful horse show
was presented last Saturday by

vided into two sections, one at
1 p.m. and then at 6 p.m. Riders
from Rex, College Park, Decatur,
Atlanta and many other points
within a 50 mile radius took part.
Shown are just two of the riders,
Douglas Cagle of Atlanta, has
ridden since he was five years
old, is now eleven. He won a
First Prize Trophy. Pam Vinson
of College Park is astride
“Champ” in all the regalia of a
Western “Cow-girl”, as she chats
to her father, Thomas E. Vinson.
Youth predominated, with a
fair sprinkling of proud parents
who watched with admiration as
their youngsters put on a dis
play that did credit to them
selves, their mounts, and their
trainers. County Agent Tucker
and al 4-H’ers who had any part
of the Horse Show can be con
gratulated on a wonderful event.
Unusual interest was added by
the attendance of a blacksmith,
