Charles Toole, president, Forest Parti Woman’s Club, dis

sored by the Forest Park Woman’s Club, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m.
in the City Recreation Hall.
Attn: Forest Park Voters
Why? “Meet Your Candi
dates"
When? Monday, Nov. 13th.
8 p.m.
Where? City Recreation
Hall.
Who Cares? We do, the
Forest Park Woman’s Club,
cares enough about our city
and those who are elected to
run the affairs of our city.
We feel so strongly about
this that we are sponsoring
a “Meet Your Candidate
Night” on Nov. 13th at 8
p.m. in the City Recreation
Hall.
There will be a panel con
sisting of Mrs. James W.
Stanford, President of the
Sixth District, Georgia Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs,
Rep. Lamar Northcutt, Dis
trict 35, and Mr. Phillip J.
Kimbell, Preiident of the
Forest Park Jaycees, the
Moderator will be Judge E. T.
Brock. Atlanta Municipal
Court.
The public is invited to
come, bring your questions if
you have any, written on a
piece of paper, know what
each candidate will work for.
The office of Mayor is open
as well as four Council seats.
Raymond Johnson
After serving 3 years as your Councilman for Ward 1 has proven from
"The Minutes of the Council" he is qualified to be your Mayor. He has
always served the citizens with honesty, straight-forward convictions.
He is for the progressive growth of our City and will only vote his feel
ings toward this goal. He has worked many hours in helping citizens
solve their problems and in most cases satisfied their needs.
Mr. Johnson's record speaks for itself and his attendance at Council
meetings is 98%. He is proud of his role as Councilman and puts this up
beside his opponents. While Mr. Johnson's opponents have served longer
terms as Councilman than he, they have allowed illegal street tax to
stay on the books and never tried to do anything about it. The records
will prove that in 1966 Raymond Johnson made a motion to do away with
this illegal street tax and neither of his opponents (Messrs. Summerday
or Burks) would vote for this removal. Raymond Johnson had a letter
from the City Attorney stating your $3.00 street tax was illegal, but
Messrs. Summerday or Burks would not vote to do away with it.
Mr. Johnson asks how can two men ask your vote to be your Mayor when
there was a letter from the City Attorney and is on record at the City
Hall stating the street tax was illegal and they still continued to make
you pay this illegal tax.
Raymond Johnson says he will continue to work for street improvements
and traffic control.
Raymond Johnson is making no promises to you if you elect him your
Mayor. He says he will only do the best he can tor you and will strive to
keep and make Forest Park a city you will be proud to call your own.
Raymond Johnson only asks that you let him see what he can do for you
by your vote on December 2 to be your Mayor.
He thanks each of you for your support in the past.
Vote for Raymond Johnson Dec. 2

Youth Appreciation Week
Proclamation
WHEREAS, the overwhelming majority of the youth of
the United States and Canada are constructive, responsible
citizens who receive altogether too little recognition of their
achievements, and
WHEREAS, the men of Optimist International have dedi
cated themselves to promoting community-wide recognition
of our fine young people during Youth Appreciation Week
each fall, and,
WHEREAS, the citizens of Forest Park have indicated
they wish to join the Optimists in expressing their pride in
our youth and their approval of the many fine things they
are doing to improve both themselves and our community,
I, S. S. Abercrombie, therefore proclaim November 13-19,
1967, as Youth Appreciation Week in Forest Park with the
sincere hope that every adult will not only stop to think
about the many plus qualities of the younger generation,
but actively recognize the individual and collective attributes
and achievements of as many young people as they can
possibly reach, so that our citizens of tomorrow may fully
realize that we are confident in their ability to build and
govern the bright world of the future.
