despair than humor, that if
Gen. Sherman came back to
Clayton County again the only
two buildings he would recog
nize would be the Forest Park
Junior High and Jonesboro
Junior High. The parents are
not so concerned with the
outside of the buildings, as
shown, but with the dismal,
disparaging conditions inside
the buildings for which we
must have money for improve
ment. Part of the bond issue
will go for this.
Other classrooms are needed
on schools already built so
when you step into the voting
booth to mark your ballot will
you check your heart and not
your pocketbook? Will you set
the pace for the rest of our
state and make Clayton Coun
ty known for its “educated"
young people and not for the
double sessions we might have
if this issue is not passed.
“Your Yes vote is needed”,
so please mark your calendar
and vote on May 20.
February, 1963, “merely pour
ing Federal funds into a contin
uation of the out-moded type
of institutional care which now
prevails would make little dif
ference. We need a new type of
health facility, one which will
return mental health care to
the mainstream of American
medicine and at the same time
will upgrade mental health
services.”
The National Institute of
Mental Health distributed to
the States a guideline for com
prehensive mental health plan
ning.
Between 1963 and 1965 an
intensive program of state and
local planning was carried out.
Not only did public and private
agencies participate but thou
sands of private citizens took
part individually or as members
of organizations.
Our new Clayton Mental
Health Center is the end-prod
uct of the studies and plans
and is one of the first to be
built in Georgia.
We feel indeed fortunate for
having the opportunity to
bring to this community the
most inexpensive, comprehen
sive, and effective mental
health care available.
This is a two part series.
Next week we will report on
the Mental Health Center's
! staff and services.

Soil Stewardship Week Is
Set for May 11-18, 1969
By Tom Cole
Soil Conservationist
CONFRONTING THE
ISSUES is this year’s theme
for the observance of Soil
Stewardship Week by the
Upper Ocmulgee River Soil and
Water Conservation District
along with other districts with
in the 50 United States.
We face new and greater
Conservation Challenges.
Today, we face new and
greater challenges in the use ot
our natural resources than ever
before. The amount of land
space remains virtually the
same while the U. S. Popula
tion surges beyond the 200
million mark. Newcomers in
our midst expect, and logically
have a right, to share and enjoy
our remaining resources the
productive land, water, wild
life. forest and natural
landscape.
LAND: must provide the
basic needs for our existence
food, clothing and shelter. It
must provide space in ever in
creasing amounts for other
things places to live, to work
and play.
WATER: The so-called
population explosion and the
resulting industrial expansion
demand heretofore unheard-of
quantities of water. As we
crowd closer and closer to
gether with our homes,
factories and schools and as we
use water over and over again,

it is even more imperative that
we clean up our streams and
maintain an adequate supply of
high quality water.
These increasing pressures
on the land by our ever-ex
panding population make it
necessary that we intensify
conservation efforts at all levels
of society. All people, young
and old, need to learn the im
portance of our natural re
sources and the absolute
necessity of managing them to
meet the needs of society
today and tomorrow.

“While the farmer holds the
title to the land, actually, it
belongs to all people because
civilization itself rest on the
soil.”

of “Pa”, “Ma” and Herbert or
“Baby” Stribling as he was
known. Like his big brother,
“Baby” was a boxer too,
although smaller and not
nearly so famous.
W. L. had nearly 300 fights
in a 1 2-year career that began
as he attained the age of 16
and lost only a dozen of them.
He was never counted out
although he fought some of the
standout men of his time Max
Schmeling, the heavyweight
champion; Ernie Schaaf, Primo
Camera twice, Mike McTigue
twice, Paul Berlenbach, the
light heavyweight champion,
Phil Scott, Tuffy Griffith, Otto
Van Porat and others.
The writer covered Strib’s
first four fights, all held in
Atlanta and all four-round pre
liminaries promoted by J.
Hume McDonald in the City
Auditorium.
That was in 1921.
The writer, along with
McDonald and hundreds of
box-fight fans, saw in the
clean-limbed 117-lb. Stribling a
future headliner. He was quick,
flashy, a skillful boxer from

covered W. L.’s first four
victories in preliminaries but
also his first fight north of the
Mason-Dixon line, against a
sturdy fellow named Tommy
Burns in Detroit, which Strib
also won. 1 also covered that
much-debated bout with Mike
McTigue in Columbus, Ga.; his
tilt with the rugged and hard
hitting Berlanbch in Yankee
Stadium; his titular battle with
Jack Sharkey in Miami Beach
in 1929 which Strib lost by a
hairline; his match with Phil
Scott in Wembley Stadium,
London, in 1930, which he
won by a knockout in four
rounds and which elevated him
into a shot with Schmaling in
1931 at Cleveland for the
championship.
As Jones points out,
Stribling was overtrained for
that bout with so formidable a
foe as Schemling and weakened
in the closing rounds of the
15-rounder. Referee George
Blake stopped the contest with
only 14 seconds to go and
awarded it to the German on a
TKO.
