Two new Philco transistor | ;
radios have been won by
William McCollum and Da
vid W. Pierce of Forest Park,
in Ford Motor Company’s
“Safe Driving Incentive Pro
gram for Young Americans.”
More than 3,200 young ‘
drivers across the country i
received awards in the pro- |°
gram. Winners qualified for | |
an award by driving with
out an accident or moving
traffic violation from July
1 to September 30 of last
year. They also answered a 1
quiz on driving rules and
practices, and wrote brief
essays on personal programs |
for safe driving. !
“It was gratifying to learn |
that so many young Amer
icans share our concern for
traffic safety,” Henry Ford
111, company chairman of
the board, said.
The company awarded 15
Mercury Caliente hardtops,
15 Mustang hardtops, 200
Philco portable stereo phon- |
ographs and 3,000 Phileo
transistor radios in the com
petition. Under a similar
program, another 10 cars,
30 phonographs and 200 ra
dios were awarded to mem
bers of families who wvork
for Ford, its subsidiaries,
dealers and advertising
agencies.
Ford announced the pro
gram early last summer for
licensed drivers who would
not have reached their 25th
birthdays by September 30.
It was prompted by the fact
that young people in the 15-
to-24 year age group have a
disproportionate number of
motor vehicle accidents.
Winners were selected by
an independent judging
company, after a panel of
driver training instructors
had screened the entries.

ton Boykin, left, a Georgia Power Company engineer.
Celebrating the event with them are John Smith,
right, science teacher at the school, and Jon Cole
man, student. Edison, inventor of the incandescent
light and father of the electric power industry, was
born February 11, 1847, in the town of Milan, Ohio.

Mrs. E. L. Hule, President
of the Jonesboro Senior
High School PTA, was the
recipient of the Life Mem

each year to someone who
has given years of service to
children. Having been a
school teacher for many
years, a busy participant in
4-H activities, an energetic
worker in the life of her
church, and enjoyed a long
time association with the
PTA, Ethel Hule has earned
this honor and recognition.
The meeting, held Tues,
Feb. 7, was opened with the
pledge to our flag, led by
members of the Boy Scout
Troop from Philadelphia
Presbyterian Church. Mrs.
Ivan Harrison gave the de
votional.
Nominating Com m | ttee,

tie Lou Watson, headed by
Mr. David Job, was elected

County.
To commemorate Found
ers’ Day a program of un
usual interest and imagina

ATLANTA ARMY DEPOT—
Howard D. Pope, 53 Astor
Ave., Forest Park, who has
been named Suggester of the
Month for February at the
Depot. Mr. Pope’s suggestion
will mean an estimated first
year’s savings of $3,000. He
suggested that brake shoes
from 4000-pound towmotor
forklifts be relined rather
than salvaged. The Depot
has no facilities fcr bonding
new linings to brake shoes, so
Mr. Pope suggested that they
be placed on contract for re
lining. He has been employed
at the Depot 24 years, is af
filiated with Victory Baptist
Church, and has four chil
dren: Mrs. K. W. Dowlen, liv
ing in Fort Worth while her
husband attends Southwest
Texas Christian University;
Linda, who attends Arlington
(Texas) Baptist College;
Danny, a student at Forest
Park High, and Christy, who
attends Hendrix Drive Ele
mentary.—U. S. Army Photo.
