The Old 'Fight'
If the Atlanta Braves would show the fight and spirit
against opposing National League teams that they do in
fighting among themselves, they might—just might—finish
in the first division for a change.
Lately Manager Hitchcock has fined players for insub
ordination and now he is coming to grips with Aaron and
Carty, who fought on a plane—of all places!
In the background stands Paul Richards, vice chairman
in charge of baseball, and the best bet of the season is
that he isn’t going to stand for a club ridden with dissen
sion to go unchallenged.
Richards doubtless would like for the Braves to be shed
of the likes of Aaron, Torre, Carty, Jones and Menke, as a
start. No matter how many records an Aaron sets, it doesn’t
do the ball club much good if it’s only individual perform
ance. What the Braves need is all-out team effort. And
this they get largely from Alou. How many others hustle
like Alou does?
One thing for sure, the Braves of 1968 will show a new
face, with most positions being held by dependable major
leaguers. The cleaning out job is going to come close to
being a clean sweep.
Richards, we feel sure, has had enough. The Braves are
this year going to finish in the second division for the fifth
time in the last six years. So they’re called hard-hitting
Braves?
Hard-hitting among themselves, and playboys when the
manager isn’t looking.
Under these conditions, will they draw a million and a
half fans to the stadium?

Marty Holman, President oi
the Forest Park Civitans,
brought to order, the first
meeting of June. This meet
ing was attended by Mr. C. C.
Souther, Lt. Governor of
Civitan International, Geor
gia District North. The pro
gram for the evening was en
titled "Communism in Your
Country” and was presented
by Reverend Clint Rogers,
Pastor of the Second Baptist
Church of Forest Park.
Reverend Rogers has made
an extensive study of this
subject and has presented
this program many times in
the Atlanta area. This pro
gram was aimed at arming
the public with a knowledge
of the real threat of Com
munism to our Democratic
system of Government. We,
as Citizens, must see and
recognize the difference be
tween genuine communism
and the folly of simply call
ing anything that we dis
agree with communism. True
communism does have the
avowed purpose of eliminat
ing our system of Govern
ment, and we must not lose
sight of the fact that even
though we have problems in
our Government, it is by far
the finest system of Govern
ment in the world today!

the South Expressway at

Reverend Rogers cited the
need to be concerned with
the fact that today, twelve
countries in the world are
under communist rule and
this amounts to one-fourth
of the world. The fact was
brought out that Mr. J. Ed
gar Hoover, Chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investi
gation, must surely be one of
our greatest Americans for
his relentless fights against
communism in this country.
Reverend Rogers relates that
in reading of "Political Af
fairs”, used as a study guide
for the Communist Party in
America, it is clear that the
communists are not resting,
and that we as citizens must
also work to prevent com
munism from spreading in
our country. The record of
activities of Gus Hall, leader
of the Communist Party in
the United States, clearly
shows that many disturb
ances on the front pages of
our news media was called
for by the Communist Party.
Reverend Rogers strongly
recommended the entire
club to read “Masters of De
ceit”, which is currently on
the news stands, to better
understand the communist
threat to our country. Our
appreciation goes to Rever
end Rogers for a fine pro
gram.

Morrow Boils
In Zoning
Hassle
At the regular meeting of
the Morrow City Council on
Tuesday night two separate
matters were brought before
the council pertaining to re
zoning property in Morrow,
one of which led to quite an
uproarious meeting.
Councilman Bryan, acting
as chairman in the absence
of the Mayor and one other
councilman, read the peti
tions regarding first a vari
ance of zoning to permit the
operation of a one-chair
beauty salon in a residence.
This was strongly opposed
by residents of the adjacent
neighborhood, and a motion
to deny the petition was
passed by the council.
Second on the agenda was
a petition by Dr. Flynn of
Morrow who has recently
acquired some fifty-eight
acres of land on Mt. Zion
Road in Morrow, part of
which was not in the city
