golfing week-end as well.
The Lakeshore Country Club is presenting a big exhibi
tion match between Slammin' Sammy Snead and Georgia’s
Country Club on the shores of Lake Spivey.
Match play is set for 18 holes bn Sunday, Sept. 5, and
18 holes in the finishing play on Monday, Labor Day. The
finals should provide a great climax.
The Exchange Club of Jonesboro is making every effort
to make this one of the finest match play tournaments ever
held in the Greater Atlanta area.
All golfers of Clayton County and the Atlanta Army
Depot are especially invited. The Depot’s Commanding Os- !
fleer Col. Roland Savilla is an especially fine amateur golfer
and he heads the list of those invited from the Depot.
Lakeshore Country Club has many excellent amateur |
golfers and it is hoped that as many as 30 of these players ।
will qualify to play in the Exchange Club Invitation match
play tournament.

The only way to really en
joy the Forest Park High

son this year is to know who
is playing and what their
number is. This is a problem
that the Forest Park Music
Club is solving by selling at
each game a larger and
more complete program for
twenty-five cents with pro
ceeds going to the high
school and the Music Club.
The members of the Forest
Park Music Club, who will be
selling these in the stands,
hope you will help support
your school and your band
as you have in the past by
purchasing these programs.
Much appreciation goes to

Important Hospital Bond
Vote Is September 1
The voters of Clayton
County will go to the polls
on Wednesday, September 1,
to express their feelings
about a new general hospi
tal for the area. If the
voters give their approval,
the Hospital Authority pro
poses to construct a 150 bed
general hospital together
with a 20 bed psychiatric
unit. Although no specific
site has as yet been se
lected for the facility, it will
be located so as to serve all
the citizens of Clayton, as
well as those in nearby sec
tions of adjacent counties.
Grand Jury Recommends
‘Yes’ for Hospital Issue
Whereas, it has come to
the attention of the Clayton
County Grand Jury in regu
lar session on August 26,
1965, that a special Bond
Referendum has been called
for September 1, 1965 for the
purpose of deciding whether
to provide the necessary
matching funds for a mod
ern 150-170 bed Hospital so
badly needed by the people
of Clayton County, and,

being made seems finan
cially sound and within the

prices are offered in their sale starting
Sept. 2 and continuing through Labor Day.
