Panthers Lose 4th
Region Game of Year
BY RODNEY HUDLOW
The Forest Park Panthers,
moving into the final week of
the season, played host to
Gordon at Baker Field. During
the season the Panthers have
been rather inconsistent in the
hitting department and this
day happened to be one of
their bad ones. Howard Alex
ander went to the mound
seeking his sixth win of the
year. Except for allowing two
home runs, Alexander pitched
well enough to win. But, as
mentioned before, the Panthers
had trouble at the plate and
they lost their fourth region
game of the year. 3-1.
On Friday, the Panthers
were to meet the Robert E.
Lee Rebels in the final game of
the year, but they lost this one
to the weather as rain forced
the game to be postponed.

ketball spring practice ended

Keep It Beautiful
If America hired people for the job, it would take the
largest sort of army to keep our country free of litter.
But there's no need to hire anyone. It's a job we can
do for ourselves. All of us Every family that spreads a
picnic lunch. Every boatman who cruises the lakes and
waterways Every motorist who uses our roads and
highways
It is the pleasure of the U S Brewers Association
each year to give its fullest support to the Keep America
Beautiful Campaign Remember: Every Litter Bit Hurts.
This is our land Let’s treat it right.

intra-squad game on Wednes
day. The team of Jeff King,
Rocky Davis, Darnell Dodson,
Phil Rowan, Rodney Hudlow
and Jerry Cargile met the team
of Butch Bell. Mike Gladden.
Danny Daugherty, Gary Long.
Tommy Willis and Larry Prock.
Davis’ team won the game
68-59, as Rocky led the way
with 41 points. Gary Long and
Tommy Willis are two boys
who will be transferring from
Fountain, and they have
looked very impressive during
the two weeks. Only five boys
who were out for spring prac
tice, Butch Bell, Jeff King,
George Rice. Bobby Royes and
Gary Long, will be seniors next
year, so Forest Park should
have fine teams for the next
two years.
1 hope we shall never forget
that we created this nation, not
to serve ourselves, but to serve
mankind.

On May 15, THE CITIZENS BANK OF CLAYTON COUNTY BECOMES
The Citizens & Southern Bank of Clayton County
We made the name change because the Citizens Bank of Clayton County has always
been affiliated with C&S. This affiliation makes it possible to offer many bank serv
ices which would not otherwise be available.
The name change will be helpful to you when you need banking assistance away
from Forest Park, and are in the vicinity of another C&S Bank. Your bank will con
tinue to be operated by the same folks who have served you since we opened and
your checks and other bank items are still perfectly usable.
On behalf of your Board of Directors and the Staff of the Bank, let me say how much
we appreciate your business and your support.

‘King of the Canebrakes*
"King of the ( anebrakes", a
fascinating biography of W 1
(Young) Stribling, is just off
the press, written by Jimmy
Jones, a per
sonal friend ot
long standing
who was
sports editor
of The Macon
Telegraph tor
some years
and later a
sports writer
on The At
I a n t a Con
stitution.
Stribling, Georgia's only
outstanding heavyweight fight
er who lost two matches for
the title in that division, lives
again in Jones' book and dies
again, Oct. 3. 1933, in a tragic
motorcycle-automobile acci
dent just outside his hometown
of Macon at the shockingly
young age of 28.
Jones tells the story ot
St rib’s stunningly sudden
death caused by his turning to
wave at a passerby friend in his
car and failing to see in time
another car coming around on
the road ahead.
Strib’s toot was all but torn
off. hanging by a shred of
flesh, he had a severe pels ic
injury and his motorcycle
handlebar was driven into his
stomach He would have lost ,i
leg or a toot any way it he had
survived the accident Ih it
would have been doubly tragic
tor such a fine all-around
athlete as was Stribling, so
active and so interested in hl.
and in his family. His wit..
Clara was in the hospital when
his death occurred in the
morning after the collision
presenting him with his third
child
Not only Jones but the
writer as well were very close
to W I and his entire family
