Grand Old Opry Here This Friday
Country and Western Music at its best.
That’s what the Tara Shrine Club will present for the en
joyment of the music lovers of this area this Friday night,
his Texas Troubadours on live television, we think you’ll
agree that they belong at the head of the class in the
Country and Western Music field.
They long have been one of our favorites and we con
gratulate the Tara Shrine Club for bringing this outstand
ing Grand Old Opry show to the county.
The date, remember, is this Friday, March 31, and the
time is 8 p.m. Tickets may be obtained from Tara Shrine
Club members.
When you dine at Harbin’s Drive-In and Restaurant you
may obtain tickets there from either Frank or Shorty
Harbin.
A prominent citizen saw one of the posters on display
and said: “I wouldn’t miss the Grand Old Opry show for
the world.” And that’s the feeling of many others who plan
to enjoy the outdoor program.
'One-Stop Service'
For Communities
Steps have been taken under a directive from
President Johnson to assure that rural communities
in Clayton County have access to all existing services
in their development efforts, Chairman Collins of the
county’s Technical Action Panel said today.
Mr. Collins, who also is
County Supervisor of Farm
ers Home Administration,
said the system will be op
erated through the Techni
cal Action Panel. The coun
ty TAP will serve as a cen
tral, “one-stop” source of in
formation on programs
available to rural commu
nities that might help them
solve economic problems and
develop community facili
ties.
The system has been or
dered to carry out a Presi
dential order that Secretary
of Agriculture Orville L.
Freeman “put the facilities
of the Department of Agri
culture field offices at the
disposal of all Federal agen
cies to assist them in mak
ing their programs effective
in rural areas.”
Mr. Collins said it will ad
vance the Agriculture De
partment’s “outreach” pro
gram, designed to insure
that rural community needs
are not overlooked, and that
rural people know of pro
grams available to them
both through the Depart
ment of Agriculture and
other agencies.
The Clayton County Tech
nical Action Panel included

Georgia State Plans
New School of Education
Beginning in September, Georgia State College
will establish a new School of Education which in
time is expected to rank among the best in -the coun
try.
Dr. William M. Suttles, vice president of Georgia
State College, outlined plans
for the new School at a
luncheon for GSC alumni
who were attending the
Georgia Education Associa
tion convention in Atlanta.
The luncheon was sponsored
by the Georgia State College
Alumni Association.
"We have received 75
names as possibilities for the
deanship of our new School,”
Dr. Suttles said. “We are
presently in the process of
screening them, and we
hope to be able to announce
a dean within six or eight
weeks.”
“If, however, we should
feel that we have not yet
found the right person, we
will open the School of Edu
cation in September under
an acting dean and continue
the search until we do find
the right person.
“We are interested in a
dean with imagination, a
person who has the ability
to look at and deal with all
education, not just some
narrow segment.”
The Board of Regents on
January 11 authorized the
establishment of the School
of Education at Georgia
State College. Dr. Suttles’
statement was the first pub
lic exposition of its scope.
The GSC vice president
said he believes that within
ten years, the School of Edu
cation may have as many as
7,500 students out of a
total enrollment of 25,000 at
Georgia State College.
In answer to a question,
he said, however, that
rumors that Georgia State
will become an institution
devoted primarily to teacher
education are totally false.
