Newspaper Page TextSPORTS) Desire Emphasized in Panther Football BY RODNEY HUDLOW When you play football for Carl Madison you have to have that little extra desire that it takes to become a winner. Spring practice has started and already about half the boys that started out have quit. You can bet the boys left really want to play. Coach Madison demands a lot from his players and that’s why Forest Park will be defending its North Georgia AAA title next tall. Coach Madison has built a winning image at Forest Park and these boys intend to keep it that way. Most ot the lads come to school early so they can work out in the gym before classes. They start out by working out on the weight machine. Then they work on running plays and getting their timing just right. After school ” they practice in pads, working on the basics such as blocking and tackling. The Panthers will lose a lot ot boys to graduation but this is not expected to hurt them a great deal. Some of the boys returning from last year’s squad are Tommy Hunt, Barry James, Ronnie Kinsey, Steve Ogletree. Roddy Bowlden, Jack Davis, Doug Heptinstall. Bobby Slagle, George Rice and Jimmy Farmer. Hunt is the No. 1 candidate for quarterback, although he was basically a de fensive back last year. Ronnie Kinsey is expected to play both offensive and defensive end. With Jeff King returning as placekicker the Panthers should have no problems in OPENING SOON JUNE 2nd DEE & B.

FP Seeking Rooms for a Witnesses’ Jehovah’s Witnesses of Forest Park are taking part in a mammoth search for rooms to house some of the 45,000 dele gates coming to a Christian convention in Atlanta July 6-13. J. G. Woods, presiding min ister, said the Forest Park con gregation is one of 50 engaged in the daily rooming canvass now under way. It will cover Atlanta and suburbs and even further, in necessary. “It takes a lot of prepara tion to provide for 45,000 people,” Mr. Woods com mented. “In fact, that many people are a good-sized city in themselves. Hotels and motels will accommodate many of those coming from all over the coun try and some foreign countries. But the house-to-house search for rooms, while tiine-consum ing, is the only way to be sure every delegate has a place to stay. On the theory that many hands made for light work 50 congregations within driving distance of Atlanta were assigned the job of hunting rooms. At a recent kick-off rally in Atlanta more than 2,000 were given instructions in how to cover their assigned territories. Roller/! Good, Clean Fun!

Hytl rangea Color - Pink, Or Blue BY CHARLES S. TUCKER. County Agent The color of the flowers of most of the common florist hydrangea (H y drangea Macrophylla) can be changed as desired. These hydrangeas usually produce blue flowers when the soil has an acid pH. When the soil pH is basic the flowers are pink. The actual mechanism in volves an aluminum com pound. Aluminum occurs in most Georgia soils but is only available when the soil is acid.

Within the pH range of 6.2 to 7.5, aluminum is not available in sufficient quantities to permit the blue color to de velop, and at this pH the flowers are pink. At a pH around 6.0. pinkish blue is common, and at 5.5 or lower, clear blue develops. To get blue flowers, make the soil acid by applying ap proximately 2/3 cup of sulfur around the plant and working it into the soil surface in an area out to 18 inches from the trunk of the plant You may also want to make several ap plications of alum (aiuminun sulfate) to supply the plant with aluminum. Apply one teaspoon per gallon of water in three applications at two-week intervals. To obtain a basic soil pH for pink flowers, add agricultural lime to the soil. Work into the soil surface. Generally, % to one cup per plant is sufficient. Do not add too much lime as this may result in poor plant growth. One year may be re quired in order to obtain flower color change from either sulfur or lime.
