Since 1960, you have per

of Education, two new Health

date in the northern part of
the county. We have imme
diate plans to build a new
Civic Center in the College
Park area. Many water and

been made, including a beau

be a good steward of your
money while serving you as

of my duties.
It is indeed difficult for
me to announce to you at
this time that I will not be
a candidate for re-election to
the Board of County Com
missioners in the Democratic

1968. This decision was
“reached only after careful
' consideration of the needs of
i my own family, my personal
business responsibilities and
. also a desire to give others
an opportunity to serve in
this capacity. I sincerely

weigh the candidates for this

you choose a man of high
moral character, sincerity of

DEFINITE PLANS
(Continued From Page 1)
Atlanta, are Architects for
this project, and have been
working with the Board of
Directors for about one year
to complete plans which will
result in this being one of
the finest buildings in Clay
ton County.
The building will be three
stories in height, with an
overall square footage of 16,-
500. The Association will oc
cupy the entire ground floor
area. Two additional stories
have been added, for rental,
because of the increase in
business activity in the
Jonesboro area. The bullding
will be completely air con
ditioned and provide both
elevator service and stairs to
upper floors.
The building is to be of
Georgian Colonial architec
ture, with four column, two
story high portico, that
Georgia made historically its
own. The brick is a bright
| red, varigated, typical of
Colonial days. The portico
and the cornice around the
building have a balustrade
effect, also typical early Co
lonial. Windows are shut
tered and three old Colonial
lanterns hang from the por
tico to light the entrance
way, which is a Colonial
type, massive door.
The entire interior wall
area will be a running story
of Early America, with spe
cial emphasis on the “Gone
With the Wind” era. The
Bank counters and decora
tions will be designed ac-
