POINT OF VIEW
By JACK TROY
Some Words in Praise
Os Integrity in Coaching
Buster Fleming was praising the integrity of coaches and
a recent column by Furman Bisher Atlanta Journal.
Bisher praised coaches in general and Georgia's Vince
Dooley in particular. He wrote—
A >1 "As I grew up. I came to develop
Father Superior of the group. Dooley, and others, laid the
wood to some fractious, romantic or contrary athletes last
week and all were quite sincere when they told their vic
tims that 'this is going to hurt me worse than it does you.’
“I won’t contend that Georgia would have beaten Hous
ton if Jake Scott, Brad Johnson and Wayne Bird had been
on the list of availables. But, if you will check the list of
teams whose coaches took athletes to the woodshed lately,
you will get the trend.
"Michigan State canned six. Michigan State lost to Ohio
State. Grigham Young canned three. Brigham Young lost
to Utah State. Louisiana State canned one, Its place-kicker,
and Louisiana State had to settle for a tie with Ole Miss
because the substitute place-kicker blew the extra point
that would have won. And Georgia lost to Houston.
"Sometimes the price of discipline gets to be just too
much to pay. Yet, Dooley had no choice in the end. To have
suspended his three players for a few days, then to have
taken them back again in time for the Houston game would
have amounted to no penalty at all. It was better to have
lost the game than to have lost the morale of all the Bull
dogs.”
Famous Paintings
At Bank of Jonesboro
It is not unusual to find talents and great ability
among members of a family. It is unusual, however,
when two members become great artists. And if see
ing is believing, you must see the painting and draw
ings of the Chatov brothers, Roman and Constantin,
whose works are now on dis
play in the Community
Room at the Bank of Jones
boro. Their exhibit contains
oils and drawings of still life,
figures, and portraits. The
style is mainly contempo
rary.
The Chatov brothers have
a background as interesting
as their works of art. Roman
was born in Russia. At an
early age he began sketch
ing for a Theatrical Maga
zine. He was a student in
Paris at Saumier Academy
and studied at National
Academy of Design and Arts.
In the 1930’s he was associ
ated with WPA Art Budget
Committee, painting murals
in prominent places of in
terest, one of which was on
exhibit at the Ford Pavilion
at the World’s Fair in 1938.
He painted a portrait of
John Barrymore, as Hamlet.
His portraits include those
of prominent Georgians also.
Roman and Constantin
have had shows at Atlanta
High Museum of Art, in
Montgomery, Alabama, Al
bany, Georgia, Fort Worth,
Texas. Hunter’s Museum in
Birmingham, and at the
National Annual Art Show
in Springfield, Massachu
setts. Both are art instruc
tors in their respective
studios in Atlanta.
Constantin was also born
in Russia, in the province
of Georgia. This, he says, led
him to make Georgia his
home. He was a pianist of
great talent, however, turned
his talents to painting when
one of his hands became in
jured. His studies in this
country include the Stu
dents’ Art League in New
York. His paintings have
been exhibited in Atlanta
Art Association show, the
Museum of Art in Birming
ham, Artistic Associates Gal
lery in Atlanta; in New Or
leans at a private home;
Hunter’s Museum, Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, Annual
Savannah Museum show,
Savannah, and the Annual
Callaway Gardens Show at
Pine Mountain, Georgia. He,
too, has painted portraits of
well known personalities in
the area and state.
Probably dearest to the
hearts of Atlanta area resi
dents is a portrait of Clark
(The jHnrwt Park Press
and
up, A. VW
a very sincere disrepect for people
who dealt out punishment, all the
while remonstrating with the in
tended victim for having placed
them in such a position, and com
plaining that they would really rath
er be the punished than the punisher.
"Now, just this very week, I have
come upon a group in whom such a
distraught emotion is no less than
holy. Vincent Joseph Dooley, head
football coach at the University of
Georgia, is sort of the unwilling
Gable Constantin painted
for MGM for the movie Gone
With the Wind.
The Chatov brothers’
paintings may be seen dur
ing banking hours every day
at the Bank of Jonesboro.

Os FP Auto Service
This is the sixteenth anniversary of one of For

Owner through the years is George Taylor, astute
businessman and expert
mechanic.
Mr. Taylor is highly re
garded In Clayton County as
a man of great integrity and

calibre. Mr. Taylor has a

“We are proud of the com-

sentative to the Georgia General Assem

City Council and a group of interested citi

vember 4.
City of Morrow to Develop
25 Acre Public Park
The City Council of Morrow, Georgia, a munici
pality of approximately 2,500 people in Clayton Coun
ty, will put the question of acquiring and developing
a 24-acre tract of land for recreation purposes square
ly on the shoulders of the people who will use it.
A Recreation Study Com
mittee, appointed by the
City Council in the spring of
1967, recently reported to
the Mayor and Council and
a group of interested citi
zens that the projected
growth of Morrow and the
surrounding area warrants
the need for a public recre
ation complex. At the pres
ent time, there exists no
public recreation areas or
programs in the Morrow
area which are either City
or County supported. The
City of Forest Park has had
a successful municipal rec
reation program for several
years.
In pointing out the needs
for recreation, the Study
Committee recom mended
the purchase of a 24 acre
area located just East of the
City which would be devel
oped to include a Commu
nity Center building, swim
ming pool, tennis courts, ball
fields, picnic areas, day
camping and nature study
areas, etc.
The Study Committee
pointed out that matching
funds on a 50-50 basis for
acquisition of the land could
possibly be obtained through
the Federal Land and Water
Conservation Fund Act. Ad
ditional matching funds
could be obtained at a later
date for development. The
cost of the land was set at
approximately $50,000. It
was Indicated that this was
a good price and that the
longer the purchase was de
layed the higher the cost
would be.
The City Council accepted
the Study Committee’s re-
plete equipment in our shop
and we have been told we
are one of Greater Atlanta’s
most complete auto service
operation."
Mr. Taylor is proud also
of the repeat business at
Forest Park Auto Service.
That means satisfied custo
mers.
"We do our best to give our
customers the best and fast
est service and we have had
many compliments on this
policy,” Mr. Taylor added.
port during a breakfast
meeting on Saturday morn
ing, November 4th, which
was attended by several city
and county leaders. Mayor
Bob Elliott indicated that
the Council was indebted to
Rudolph Johnson and the
Recreation Study Committee
for their long hours of hard
work. He further indicated
that the City Council would
probably give the project
their formal approval at the
next regular meeting of the
Council in November.
Mayor Elliott further
stated that a bond referen
dum would probably be pre
sented to the City voters
sometime in December for
approximately $195,000. Part
of this, $25,000, would be the
city’s half of the acquisition
costs. The remaining $l7O,-
