G&F Railway
Reaps Benefit
AUGUSTA, GA., March 1,
1967 — Employees of the
Georgia and Florida Railway
reaped their third benefit
from Southern Railway’s
acquisition of the line when
their pay was raised today
to standard rail industry
levels. This means an in
crease of more than 50 cents
an hour for each employee.
J. P. Belvin, G&F’s presi
dent, said in announcing the
pay increase that “with the
railroad in receivership for
most of our 56 years of op-
Mortuaries
To Restrict
Ambulances
Dalton, Ga., Feb. 16—The
four funeral homes in Dal
ton are joining in a national
trend to abandon ambulance
service unless the service is
in connection with a fun
eral.
They have announced that
the cutoff date for this serv
ice will be March 1 and gave
official notice to the Whit
field County Board of Com
missioners to this effect.
Frank Taylor, chairman
of the Board, stating that
this came as a surprise to
him, named a committee to
study the situation and re
port back to the next meet
ing of the Board March 7.
Tom Tate is chairman of the
committee. Others on the
committee are Wallace
Hayes, Wallace Bates,
Comptroller Roger Joyce and
Tom Minor, county attorney.
The funeral homes an
nounced in a full-page ad
vertisement this week that
the ambulance service had
become a public service and
that due to the increased
cost of equipment and pres
sures of the new wage and
hour laws and new Medicare
laws, it would be impossible
to continue giving individual
ambulance service.
The ad was signed by
Kenemer Brothers Funeral
Home, Love Funeral Home,
Stroup Funeral Home and
Willis Funeral Home.
The funeral directors
stated that the future re
sponsibility of ambulance
service would be left in the
hands of the Whitfield
County Board of Commis
sioners.
eration before Southern took
over, we could never afford
to pay more than 50 to 60
per cent of what other rail
roads were paying.”
Southern’s successful ef
forts to improve the G&F
and locate industry on the
line, Belvin said, led to in
creased business. “Just last
year,” he added, “we were
able to give our people a
better wage increase than
we could over the whole pre
ceding 15 years. Now our al
liance with Southern has
helped us bring them up to
standard wages.”

Hendrix Drive PT A
The Hendrix Drive PTA
held its regular monthly
meeting on Tuesday, Febru
ary 21 at 7:30 o’clock p.m. in
the school auditorium. Mrs.
Charles Thompson presided.
To open the meeting, a very
impressive flag ceremony
was given by members of
Explorer Scout Post 119, and
they led the salute to the
flag.
The Inspirational was
done in song by the students
of all the second grades un
der the direction of Mrs.
Carol Gooch. Later on they
came back out and sang a
number of songs. Needless
to say, their performance
was well received by their
proud parents and all others
in attendance.
Under new business, a
nominating committee was
elected to select a slate of
officers for the coming year.
They are John Lewis, Mrs.
J. T. Lazenby, Mrs. Bill Per
ry, Mrs. Don Chapman and
Mrs. Ted Morgan.
It was with both pride and
pleasure that Mrs. S. W.
Hardeman was awarded a
Life Membership in the
Georgia State Congress of
Parents and Teachers. Mrs.
Hardeman is especially de
serving of this award as she
has not only worked long
and tirelessly for Hendrix
Drive PTA, but also holds
offices in the Forest Park Jr.
High PTA and the Forest
Park Sr. High PTA. Mrs. Ray
Griffin made the award.
Mrs. Bill Perry was in
charge of the Founders’ Day
program and she presented
our own Principal, John
Lewis as speaker of the eve
ning. Mr. Lewis did a bit of
reminiscing, starting with
the year 1955 when Hendrix
Drive School opened in a
“sea of mud". He Illustrated
what has been accomplished
through good communica
tion and cooperation be
tween the school and the
PTA and how the PTA can
help communicate the school
program to the community
at large. Hendrix Drive
School Is a living testimonial
to a good relationship be
tween these three: the
school, uhe PTA and the
community.
Mr. Lewis stated that the
PTA has spent nine thou
sand dollars for this school
since its beginning In 1955.
This money was spent for
such things as lunchroom
equipment, playground
equipment, film projectors,
library books and many oth
er things. This year, the
PTA spent one thousand
dollars on library books and

We are proud of Hendrix
Drive School and consider it
to be one of the best staffed
and best equipped in the
entire state.
As special guests, we were
fortunate to have all but
two of our PTA past presi
dents. They were Mrs. Hen

was given to the library in
their honor.
At the close of the meet

many members of the Chris
tian community, and last

The role of Jesus is played
by H. B. Warner who does
a tremendous job in por
traying the life of Christ.
The scenes showing the trial,
crucifixion and resurrection
of Christ are particularly
moving.

large motorized screen that
comes down to stage level.
There is no charge for ad
mission for the King of
Kings showing and Peach
tree Christian provides free
parking for more than 200
cars in its church parking
lot. A nursery will be open
for small children.
Kids today don’t have to
go to bed early to rise early
and wise.
