BANK OF JONESBORO Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. 139 Main Street 478-7252 Nancy’s Notes and Quotes If you are interested in tak ing off a few pounds or a few inches read on. A couple of friends came in the office and stated that they had been try ing for weeks to exercise at home and their efforts had given them no results. Then they started singing the praises of the Lake City Community Club. It seems this club has started exercise classes at the Community House on Harper Court and the classes are on luesday and Thursday eve nings from 7:30 to 8:30. These ladies and many more are de lighted with the results when lessons are given by an instruc tor. They must have found out the old adage “Misery Loves Company” is true because they state that when you are working with a group it sure makes it easier. I he charge for registering is SI.OO and classes 20c each. » * * The Morrow Lake City Rec reation Association would like to urge all coaches, managers, and mainly fathers to get over to the new fields this Saturday morning because they are badly needed. The fields need a lot of work done on them and manpower is the main key to the problem. Everyone likes to spend Saturday mornings in bed but we have had the word that if the gentlemen would just go over one time and see how desperately they are needed they would be more than happy to donate a small amount of their time. Without the manpower it will be impos sible to finish the fields in time. Would you believe only about 10 men showed up to work last Saturday? lime is running out. * * * Did you Clayton Countians know that Tommy Vaughan has been elected vice chairman ot the Clayton County Com missioners, Elbert C.
