SICK SPORT
Down around Cape Canaverial Flor
ida, the thing to do is get your board
and head for the surf. This tropical
town is known as the surfing capitol
of the Eastern Seaboard.
Surfing buffs from all over America
make annual treks to Cape Canaverial
to test their skills against the treach
erous waves which constantly pound
the beaches. Florida waves don’t com
pare with those around California or
Hawaii but the ones around Cape Ca
naverial are a challenge to any surfer.
The weather has a lot to do with surf
ing. It’s amazing how fearless surfers
are when hurricane season is in full
fury. They fight and risk waves which
would make the saltest sea captain
turn sallow. It’s not uncommon for
sufters to drown or be struck by
lightening during bad weather.
One location which surfers find
“groovey” is Sebastian Inlett. This is
where the Banana Rivers
flow into the Atlantic. There is a swirl
of waves moving in and out of the
rockbound rivers which makes surf
ing extremely dangerous. But this
doesn’t bother the avid surfer who
will hang ten over Grand Cooley Dam.
Not just anyone can be a surfer. It
requires a great deal of coordination
and determination to stay with the
jitterbugging board. You might also
add a dash of intestional fortitude to
the requirements for being a surfer.
When you hear the word “board”
you automatically think of building
boards and you would be 100’/ wrong.
Surfer boards are made of fiber glass
and range in price from S9O. to $350.
So getting into the sport of surfing
doesn’t cost peanuts as you might sus
pect even though the working attire is
relatively inexpensive.
During a recent trip to Cocoa Beach
I revisited the Cape Canaverial Surf
ing Place and was shocked to see the
type people surfing is attracting. A
large majority of them are teenagers
and college age youngsters. Among
this group you find the typical All Am
erican boys and girls. In the next cate
gory you see boys with long hair,
beads and filthy clothes. The girls
wear mini-bikini and appear glassey
eyed and unkept.
In discussing these physicial wrecks
Mr. Merchant
Here Are TEN Solid Facts You Should Consider
In Planning Your Advertising
1- This newspaper is an advertising medium that is WANTED -it is sought after and
paid for, and advertising in it is net an intruder in the home.

iterest to every member of the family.

9 The printed word is MORE RELIABLE THAN the spoken word and it cannot be
refuted because it is easily available for re-checking. More accurate information is
obtained by reading than by listening,
10 The newspaper is ideal for comparison - items in a newspaper may be easily
items in other newspaper ads.
THE MOST EFFECTIVE and MOST ECONOMicmI. WAY
TO PROMOTE BUSINESS IS THROUGH
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
The Houston
Home Journal
with one of the local yokels I learned
that over half of the' surfers are on
dope. That they live a nomad existance
and that their only aim in life is to
ride the relentless surf. It’s the IN
THING to do he said and is an accept
ed part of the sport. To be wiped out
by waves or dope is the surfers claim
to fame.
I must admit that I get a large
charge out of seeing a surfer ride his
board in on a big one with ten toes
hanging right or left but the dope
part leaves me high and dry The
younger generation isn’t going to
pot but the surfers seem to be tied
to waves of another world
WHICH WAY
Several season’s ago a certain Per
ry Junior League Baseball player hit
a sharp single. When he reached first
base his coach told him to play it
safe and don’t try to steal second The
youngster shook his head up and
(town to indicate that he understood
the instruction perfectly
On the very next pitch he scamper
ed down to second base which almost
caused his coach to strip a gear. The
coach casually yelled out to his char
ger that he wasn’t supposed to go to
t™£ nd 'f The blanked face youngster
took into consideration his coaches
remark and when the next pitch was
thrown he promptly stole back to first

THE OLD TIMER** J
From jWrs. W. B. Bailey, Rock
mart, Ga.: I remember the first
cars bought in our county, one
by a doctor, the other by a
neighbor of ours in the country.
How thrilled I was to be one of
the first to ride in it. High wood
en wheels, no top and the whole
steering gear turned around.
The doctor would go on calls
and forget the car had to have
gas and water to run. He was
very absent minded. Our neigh
bor went riding one Sunday in
the adjoining county People
were going home from church
Your relatives have descended.
And they need your car.
Where does that leave you?
Close to home with your Ford Rent-A-Car dealer,
that’s where! Rent a new Ford, Mustang, or Torino
(° r a day, week or month. Low rates . . . insurance
included.

in their wagons and buggies. The
mules and horses took to the
fields, some turned over and
there were a few broken bones.
Our neighbor had to stop as the
road was narrow. The enraged
people pulled him from the car
and threatened to hang him if
he ever came that way again.
That same man was attending
college at Emory College in Ox
ford, Georgia, several years pre
viously. He was sent home for
re-ding a newspaper in church.
At that time, students were re
quired to attend church, as the
school was supported by the
Methodist Church. A junior col
lege is located there now Emory
University is in Atlanta,
