jacent to the golf course and have someone build a lot of
houses near the Country Club. Clayton County has 80,000
population and deserves to have the finest country club.
“There is a lot of land and with roads running through
it it will be possible to build many houses adjacent to the
second nine holes of the golf course.
“Big things are happening at Lakeshore Country Club.
We have dropped the equity fee and are selling 3n and 4n
memberships which do not include shares. Initiation fee
is SIOO.
“When we reach as many as 400 members we are going
to move ahead in a manner of which Clayton County can
be proud. We’re going to make sure we have a first class
golf layout and country club. The future is unlimited,”
Whaley said.

Beautiful New Dwarf House
We wish Truett Cathy the best of fortune In his new
Dwarf House in Hapeville. As the teenagers say, it is the
living end.
Believe us, the Open House a couple of weeks ago at
tracted an overwhelming and appreciative throng of men,
women and children. There were family groups everywhere.
Officer Don was signing autographs and the line of chil
dren looked endless.
Mr. Cathy, both in Open House and Grand Opening,
went all-out to welcome his guests. Among the buffet deli
cacies were ham and sausage rolls. Punch bowl and tiny
sandwiches and cakes too. The big lot was decorated and
a gala time was had by all.
The new Dwarf House itself is a building of beauty and
charm, and the animated mural featuring dwarfs that really
walk is something both adults and children can enjoy.
Our best wishes—again—to fine Clayton County citizen
and Dwarf House owner—Mr. Truett S. Cathy.

So far Whaley and his committee
have reinstated 20 members and
signed 38 new ones for an equivalent
of 58 members. The drive will con

"What we’re trying to do,” Whaley
said, “is to sign up between 300 and
400—maybe even 500—members so
we might build the other nine holes
of our golf course, to give the County
a great 18-hole golf course.

Bonds Again
Offered as
Refund Option
Savings Bond Chairman
for Clayton County, Jewell
A. Garner, today reminded
taxpayers that the Treasury
Department will once again
offer them the opportunity
of taking income tax refunds
in United States Savings
Bonds.
The savings option, intro
duced in 1963, is in addition
to the two standard options
of taking tax refunds in cash
or applying them to next
year’s tax.
“When a taxpayer elects to
take his refund in Series E
Bonds,” Mr. Garner said,
"his money goes to work im
mediately on two jobs. It be
gins to build his financial
security. At the same time, it
contributes to our country's
economic strength. Those
who elect the U. S. Savings
Bond option join millions of
Americans who are invest
ing in their country’s future
in this way.”
“When you check the Sav
ings Bond line on your 1967
tax form.” Mr. Garner con
tinued, “you automatically
assure yourself of two ad
vantages: You provide your
self with an easy method of
holding on to your tax re
fund dollars and a sure way
of making it grow one-third
larger at maturity. When
your mark is made, the rest
is automatic. For example, if
you're entitled to a refund
of $42. you'll get a SSO face
value Series E Bond (cost
$37.50), plus a check for
$4.50.
Mr Garner said, “choosing
Bonds is the surest way I
know of to make your tax
refund really mean some
thing to you."
