Spring Football Training
Launched by Perry Panthers
Coach Herb St. John of the Per-1
ry High School Panthers is doing
a lot of hunting these days—not
for birds or game animals but for
a quarterback to run his football
machine next season.
St. John and his assistant, Ben
Lee, met about 40 boys on the
football field Monday afternoon to
launch four weeks of spring train
ing.
The intensive search for a quar
terback is brought on by the grad
uation of Thomas (Boot) Hunt,
who is headed for Georgia. Boot
has been around so long, reserve
quarterback material was hardly
necessary.
“We’ll come up with some
thing,” said the quiet coach, and
he will.
Among the candidates who an
swered the first whistle for spring
training were Pierce Staples,
James Langston, Larry Walker,
Bill Wadick, Larry Harkins, Ted
Perfect, Lee Gotten, Bill Britt, Jer
ry Horton, Larry Giles, Mike Ja
cobs, Jimmy Smallwood, Wilson
Martin, Christie Matthews, Larry
Arnold.

Tucker had been indicted on a (
charge of murder but the solicitor
agreed to allow him to enter a

| slaughter.
Corinne West, a Warner Robins
Negro, who shot and killed James
Brooks, a Negro, near Warner Ro- '
bins last Nov. 14, was sentenced
by Judge Long to 10 years in the
j State Penitentiary after she was
I allowed to plead guilty to volun
tary manslaughter. The solicitor
j said she admitting shooting Brooks

: ment.
Driver Fined S2OO
Lucius G. McPherson, driver of
a transport truck, pleaded guilty

Eddie Jackson, colored, had a!
5 bad day in court. A jury found j

by Judge Long at the same time, j,

for not getting a job because he

ance. Gus was in court because
his wife signed a warrant charging
him with abandonement of two
minor children. Gus said he had
given his wife some money for
the children, but his wife shook
her head.
Wants Better Paying Job?
“You don’t want to get a con
struction job because that kind of
job only pays S3O a week,” Judge
Long said, “and your unemploy
ment check is almost that much,
and you had rather not work. You |
have been getting the check for
about five months now, so it’s
about tme for you to go back to
work, isn’t it?
"Yes sir,” Gus said.
“You have a legal obligation to
support your children,” Judge
Long said. “You are ordered to
pay $7.50 each for the support of
the two children. If you don’t do
it, you will go to the public works
camp.”
CARD OF THANKS
The kindness and sympathy of
neighbors and friends in our re
cent sorrow will always remain
with us a precious memory. Our
sincere thanks and gratitude for
all those comforting acts.
