Perry and Ft. \ alley Schools Urged
To Resume Relations in Athletics
BY GEORGE LANDRY
State News Editor
Macon Telegraph and News
It is a great disappointment that
two high schools so tremendously
fine as Ft. Valley and Perry, only
12 miles from each other, are so
far apart on their athletic rela
tionship.
And even though it might stir
up a hornet’s nest by suggesting
it, this corner would like nothnig
better than to see them get togeth
er and there’s no better time than
right now.
We are aware of the extreme
bitterness of yesteryear when Per
ry and Ft. Valley broke off their
athletic ties and they have never
been put back together.
The widely circulated story has
it that somebody hit somebody else
at a red hot basketball game be
tween the two schools.
Who it was that hit whom and
who was to blame has nothing to
do with the case.
The reason that’s the case is
simply this:
Why in the world should some
body who let a careless fist fly six
or 10 years ago be big enough to
make two such fine schools turn
their backs on each other from
then on till the end of time?
There just isn’t any reason.
We base our argument on these
assertions, which we make and
intend to stick by, come flying
fists or what have you;
There just aren’t any two finer,
gentlemen (and we use the word
with both sincerity and respect)
than Principal Eric Staples of
Perry and Peach County School
Supt. Ernest Anderson. We point
to them because they are the
heads of those two schools.
And just as the above is true,
you’ll not find, no matter how
wide or long a search you make,
two finer coaches than Norman
Faircloth of Ft. Valley and his as- 1
sistant, Charles Sims; and Coach
Staples of Perry and the incom
parable veteran who is his assis
tant, Frank Holland.
I would almost attempt to fight'
you myself, personally, at the drop
of a remark that you think there is'
a finer bunch of young athletes
than those at both Ft. Valley and
Perry. I know because I have
watched them perform; I’ve seen
them in the glory of victory and
in the pain of defeat; and I have!
observed them as closely as any'
observer could.
CONTESTS WOULD BE
PROMOTER’S DREAM
Athletic contests between Perry
and Ft. Valley would be some of
the greatest high school sports
attractions any promoter could
dream up, be it in Middle Georgia,
North Georgia, East or West Geor
gia, or the North or South Pole.
Certainly, such contests would
be close, hard-fought, bitter bat
tles, spiced by some of the sharp
est rivalry that could be matched.
And why shouldn’t they be!!!???
We expect athletic competition to
be tough, not an exaggerated ver
sion of the Virginia Reel.
This corner proposes right
here and now that Ft. Valley
and Perry schedule a basketball
game (on a neutral ground, say
City Auditorium in Macon, if
need be) at the very earliest
possible date) . . . we further
suggest that these two teams
meet on the gridiorn in football
this fall, and every other fall.
And from that point, we would
like to see full athletic relations
and competition be resumed to its
fullest and healthiest point.
Let it be crystal clear, that this
corner places the blame for stop
ping athletic competition on nei
ther Perry nor Ft. Valley. And af
ter all, who in the world ever
solved a problem by pointing the
knifing finger of blame anyway,
even if it’s in the direction of the
person responsible.
However, if such athletic rela ]
tions and competition are not re-|
sumed, there’s no alternative but
to put the blame on BOTH!
SCHOOLS.
It’s not the student body who
makes up the schedules, so nobody
can blame them, no matter what.
We’ve heard students from both
schools remark plainly and open
ly that they’d like nothing better
than to see these two teams meet
just like they used to do.
But seriously speaking, let’s!
start some sort of move, and make
sure it’s a successful one, to get |
these two fine schools back to- 1
gether.
If necessary, it could be made a i
standing rule that anyone involved 1
in any fight or trying to start one
could be tossed in the clink where
they ought to be in the first place.
In this writer’s book, they just
don’t come any finer than Perry
and Ft. Valley and that goes for
the student body, the athletes, the
fans, the coaches, principals and
everybody else concerned.
Os course, there are some of us
for the die-hard variety who might
argue that you’ll never get Perry 1
and Ft. Valley back together; that |
it’s like putting an egg back with
its yolk, or the whole messy busi-1
ness back in its shell,
( But, we just don't ana won’t i
buy that.
i Some say it would take the mo
dern-day miracle of high >chool '
athletics to get the fine forces of
Ft. Valley and the powerful Pan
thers of Perry on the same field
or court together, except in a
tournament or a play-off.
i Call it a miracle if you like and j
let it be that if it does become a
reality rather than just a chal
lenge.
But, we’d rather refer to it as
just plain common sense and good
sportsmanship.
EDITOR’S NOTE Mr. Landry
is right. It does not matter what
happened eight years ago. Whose
fault the scrap was should not
make any difference now. The
students get along fine and we are
inclined to believe the adults will,
too. It is our understanding that
Perry school officials have agreed
to forget the past and schedule
games but that the opposition from
a Fort Valley school official pre
[ vents a resumption of relations
| between the two fine schools.

OMISSION: For some reason,
the names of three charter mem
bers of the Perry Kiwanis Club,
who were recognized at the an
nual Ladies’ Night program re
cently, were ommitted from the
list. They are E. P. Newhard, the
first president of the club; Rev.
J. A. Ivey, who served a year as
president; and W. C. Talton. Mr.
Newhard lives at Avondale Es
tates, Mr. Ivey at Dawson and Mr.
Talton at Hawkinsville. Mr. New
hard is the fellow who furnished
the big bell which opens and
closes each Kiwanis meeting. We
have come into possession of an
official program for the “Charter
Night” program dated April 26,
1938, and will turn it over to the
Kiwanis secretary, Tom Moore.
WEATHER: One of the winning
stories at a recent “liar’s contest”
was about the man who, during a
cold spell, kicked the cat out the
back door and his foot froze. This
is the kind of weather that started
off this week—ls degrees. We can
remember a winter back in the
late twenties when the thermome
ter dropped to 7 degrees right
here in Perry. The drop came
right after a rain and considerable
damage from ice resulted. Not
long after that the depression
came and everything was frozen.
BUSINESS; Most businessmen
in Perry and the county are ex
pecting a better 1959 than 1958,
even though 1958 wound up as a
pretty good year despite a slight!
recession in the first four months!
of the year.

HIGH SCORER: After Boot

ed if any Perry player had shot
that many points in one game in
history. The answer is yes. Bowie |

A MATTER OF RECORD
Cows with production records
sell higher than cows with no re
cords, declare dairymen at the Ag- '
, ricultural Extension Service. They
add that records also furnish ac
i curate breeding and dry dates; aid
in culling, breeding, and feeding;
. are valuable for proving herd
sires, and serve as guides for cf
i ficient dairying.
PREMATURE BIRTHS
A study of 7500 mothers in
three hospitals showed that women
i who were heavy smokers account
, ed for 33.3 per cent of the pre
mature births; lighter smokers (15
to 25 cigarettes a day) accounted
. for an additional 38,6 per cent of
premature births. These facts are
from Miss Audrey Morgan, family
life specialist, Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
