WSB-Radio and The National Bank of Georgia are co-sponsors of the all-star team. ment of Public Health. The savings result from Veterans Administration reimburse ments to the Home for par tial costs of operation. This reimbursement level is now at about $2.50 per patient per day. Legislation is pending in Congress to raise the VA’s participation in the cost of patient care to $3.50 per day. Mr. Wheeler said, “I have good reason to believe this legislation will be enacted by Congress resulting in a great opportunity for even better treatment for our veterans at the Home.” He added, “If we were not able to get the federal re imbursements, the State of Georgia would have to foot the entire bill of the vet erans care just as if they were patients of the hos pital.” During the present fiscal Panthers Defeat Grady, 50-23 The Forest Park Panthers were able to add to their win column Friday night as they journeyed to Grady where they downed the Grey Knights. An aggressive defensive team, led by Jan Bradford and Joan Butler, held Grady to 23 points. Carol Haynie, whose outstanding play sparked the Pantherettes, racked up a total of 20 points, which, along with Cindy Stanford’s 12 and Jenny Babb’s 9, downed the Knights, 50 to 23. The boys ’ game was no pushover as a tough Grady team held the Panthers to 38 points in the first half. In the second half the Pan thers led all of the way. Mike Orr topped the Panthers in scoring with 21 points. Jerry Stubbs was second with 17 and was followed by Eddy Creech with 12.

IT Vl& OF CLAYTON COUNTY Qj FOREST PARK, GEORGIA Member FDIC Graham Endorses War on Poverty Americans have a “moral and spiritual responsibility” to attack the problem of poverty, the Reverend Billy Graham told members of Congress and business lead ers at a luncheon on Capitol Hill. Graham strongly com mended the programs of the Office of Economic Oppor tunity, and said: “For the first time in 17 years, I have come to Washington to ex press my support for a gov ernment program.” He de scribed the OEO and its goal, adding, “I believe in it.” Graham addressed a bi partisan audience of 104 Congressmen and 48 busi ness leaders who are mem bers of OEO’s Community Action Committee of the Business Leadership Ad visory Council. He told them the poverty program should not “be involved in partisan politics.” Graham said that at one time he had not been sym pathetic to the anti-poverty program. “Now,” he said: “I am a convert.” He said early administra tion problems “have been ironed out.” He added: “My beliefs are based now on first-hand knowledge . . . and one of the things that impressed me with what the Office of Economic Oppor tunity is doing is that their programs are not give-away programs . . . they’re giving people an opportunity.” Graham said he had found 175 references from the Scriptures teaching us that “we have a responsibility as a church, as a society, and as a people, to the poor.” Denmark has been a con stitutional monarchy since 1849. service, he received instruc tion under veteran Navy petty officers. He studied seamanship, as well as sur vival techniques, military drill and other subjects. Free Press-News & Farmer, Thurs., Dec. 14, 1967 28PANTHERSSTAY, ’6B LOOKS BRIGHT BY GARY CONGDON Forest Park’s Panthers have finished their second season under Coach Carl Madison, with a 4-5-1 record. The Panthers got off on the wrong foot with a tie against North Clayton. They won the next three until a close loss to Griffin “took something out” of the team. They came back and blasted Southwest, 28-0, only to lose the last four games on the down hill grade. Lady Luck could have smiled on Forest Park many times to assure the Panthers of a vic tory, but didn’t. Also there were many times when a little extra effort would have done the same job. The Panthers finished the sea son with only two bad injuries. Bo Bo Bynum twisted a knee in practice and Jeff King pull ed some muscles in his leg, also during practice. Both will be back and doubtlessly ready to play next year. Forest Park will only lose 13 seniors from this year and will be returning 28 players. There is no doubt the 13 boys leaving would be great value in 1968. Ronnie Hammond, Ronnie Ca tes, Robert Evans, Mike Bry ant, Pat Turner and Keith Ford ham will all be missing from the offensive backfield. Neal Saul and Johnny Holland will by replaced in the defensive secondary by Jack Davis and Roddy Bowlden, both of whom saw action In several games, Bo Ludwlng, Eugene Bryson, Jim McMillan, Jerry Lamb and Buddy King will be the only members of the line to gra duate. The Panther team next year should have a terrific line with Burnett, Lyle, James, Stapleton and Pollard returning. Randy Kidd and Tommy Hunt, quar terbacks, will find fine targets in Eubanks, Phillips and Cash. To match this tough team there will be an equally tough sche dule. Unless some school is switched these are the members of the Region that Forest Park will be trying to win in next year: Avondale, Southwest De- Kalb, Columbus, Walker, To wers, Gordon, Lee, Griffin and Jonesboro. The order in which the Panthers will play has not yet been set and all home games next year will be played in the new County Stadium. The Panthers should be really strong. This past season the boys thought they could win the Region. They are “sure” they will win next year. The 28 re turning players will need some help and Coach Madison is look ing for all boys who want to work harder than they have ever worked before to build a cham pionship team. Every day all prospective players are work ing with isometric exercises in an attempt to build them sleves up. This type of workout will continue through the sum mer next year until fall prac tice begins. If you want to play football and if you are willing to make many sacrifices, see Coach Madison as soon as pos sible, don’t wait until the last minute to sign up. This was an exciting team that fought its way through many exciting games but the future hold brighter hopes. 1967 RECORD WON 4 - LOST 5 - TIED 1 FP 7 North Clatyon 7 FP 21 ♦ North Fulton 0 FP 24 ♦ Jonesboro 0 FP 17 ♦ Grady 13 FP 13 ♦ Griffin 15 FP 28 * Southwest 0 FP 13 * Woodward Acdy. 20 FP 14 ♦ Therrell 33 FP 0 ♦ R.
