Displaced Persons
Clayton County Rep. Lamar Northcutt an
nounced Wednesday he will call for a constitutional
amendment to force municipalities to provide for
persons displaced by home condemnations involved

At a press conference,
Northcutt was especially
critical of treatment he said
some persons in Clayton
County have received be
cause of expansion of the

The city’s power of emi

ticularly on elderly people
who have no place to go.”

We came south on I-75 to Ocala, Fla.,, and resisted
temptation in not stopping at Silver Springs as we passed
by on highway 40 on the way to Daytona Beach.
U. S. 1 is now four-lane all the way to Miami, and a
beautiful and scenic drive it is, if you don't mind a few
traffic lights in the cities. You can always swing over to
highway 95 after you are well down the road, and enjoy
no traffic lights.
To an old Floridian who hadn’t driven to Hollywood-by -
the-sea in several years, it was really nice to pass through
the old and new places, the latter, of course, the Kennedy
Space Center. Thousands upon thousands take a bus tour
of the Center, which is well worth the while as you will

Old Memories Come
Crowding Back
As a Floridian who played football at Mainland High,
Daytona Beach, and traveled with the Buccaneers from
Jacksonville to Key West for football engagements, it
brought up memories as we passed Cocoa, West Palm Beach
and came up short of Miami. The Diplomat where we are
in the seminar is in the suburbs of Miami Beach.
I told Guy Butler before I left that I had planned to
visit an old competitor, Jimmy Burns, in Miami to see how |
he was doing in retirement. Then Guy told me that Jimmy
had passed away the night before in his Miami home.
Jimmy and his friends believed he had licked dread can- |
cer, but he really hadn’t. Jimmy was a fair competitor
and as much a friend as competitors can get. He was on
the Georgian, Guy Butler on the Journal and I was on The
Constitution as sports editor. We all wrote baseball and
the competition in the days of Paul Richards and the
Atlanta Crackers was rather keen, to put it mildly.
May the good Lord keep fresh the memory of a former
Atlantan who had been Sports Editor of the Miami Herald
for 23 years. I am glad Guy Butler could attend the funeral,
The Orange Bowl was Jimmy’s idea, among other proj
ects he launched and brought to fruition. ‘
This is all for now. A seminar is waiting. Every sub- i
ject will be covered including how to win friends and in
fluence people.

be able to drink your fill of free

C. J. Tucker, 1968 cam

They were told that the Cen

the nation and that the At

contributions from the At

The volunteers were re

are born in this country each
year with serious birth de

10 families knows the an

“We hope that businesses,

fight against birth defects”,
