Ordinary Joe Lane Finds
Shocking Statistics
Ordinary Joe Lane is in the news these days. Mr. Lane
discovered something about pistol permits that has resulted
in the following editorial in The Atlanta Constitution. Time
was when all that Clayton officials ever got out of the At
lanta daily was a hard time, so Mr.
out of five applicants for pistol licenses have criminal rec
ords on file with the FBI.
"Applications are increasing enormously in volume. In
Fulton County, they have nearly doubled in the past three
years. In Clayton, more pistol permits are issued than mar
riage licenses. There are noticeable upsurges immediately
after serious crimes, such as the murder of three police
men in Gwinnett County, or during times of racial unrest.
"If the 40 per cent figure Mr. Lane found in Clayton is
even vaguely representative of the state as a whole, there
clearly is a need for more rigorous safeguards."
Labor Day Golf
It seems to us that Clayton County and the Atlanta
Army Depot have enough golfers to saturate the field in
the Exchange Club Labor Day golf tournament.
The progressive Exchange Club hopes to have a field
of 96 players in the tournament. Qualifying is Saturday,
Sept. 4, all morning long, and match play will be a feature
of Sunday and Labor Day Monday. All amateurs invited.
A reasonable entry fee of $lO is being charged.
The tournament, of course, will be played over the new
Lakeshore Country Club course and will be the climax of a
week-end of great golf.
Slammin’ Sammy Snead and Dynamite Goodloe will be
featured in a match-play exhibition Saturday, Sept. 4, at
Lakeshore.
What else could golf bugs want in the way of a grand
Labor Day week-end of golf?
There will be nc conflict in the Snead match and the
tournament, as Snead and Goodloe will play Saturday aft
ernoon. Sept. 4, and qualifying for the amateur tourney
will be held in the morning of the same day and will con
clude before Snead and Goodloe tee off at 1:30 ~'m.
Hurry and get your tickets for this finest head-to-head
Snead-Gocdloe match, bestes’ ever scheduled in Clayton
County. Tickets have been selling well at the modest $5
price.

Lane’s recognition is noteworthy in
deed. The editorial is as follows:
‘‘State law denies pistol permits
to persons who have been convicted
of felonies, but it does not require
fingerprinting applicants, although
that is the most reliable way of
checking for criminal records.
"In fact, the Legislature turned
down a fingerprinting proposal last
year.
