Coffee Break
By HELEN BUFFINGTON
Candidates abounded at Menlo Saturday for the
Independence Day program and barbecue.
Even if you didn’t know them, it wasn’t very hard
to pick them out. They wefe moving through the
crowds, shaking hands and dispensing little cards.
Issues apparently weren’t discussed very much—there
wasn’t time. This was strictly good-will visiting.
* * * * *
Although there were a few friendly cracks about
the influx of politicians at the event it all was really
very proper—candidates in a democracy out seeking
votes during a July 4 celebration.
Besides, they helped swell the sale of Menlo bar
becue.
*****
Young Barry Alexander of Menlo, who was recov
ering satisfactorily from a recent paralysis, suffered an
intestinal virus during the week-end and was unable
to attend the July 4 celebration which his mother
helped plan.
The three-year-old stayed a short time but had to
be taken home just as the program started at 4 p.m.
His mother, Mrs. Emory Alexander, as president of the
U&a^^eptrTeaqhgiL Assn,, had pyt much time and
planning into the program but was unable to see it.
She chose to be with her sick child.
* * * * *
There was an unexpected question by a certain
Chattooga County five-year-old after his parent re
turned home from the Menlo celebration of the na
tion’s birthday:
“Mommy, was Mr. Khrushchev there?”
*****
The bank seems to be the place for losing things
recently.
Someone lost a good size collection of trading
stamps there recently and Bank President D. L. Mc-
Whorter is looking for their owner.
♦*■ * * *
It was only natural that the pulp magazine writers
latch onto the sensational Easter Sunday slaying of a
teen-age couple in Walker County.
As a result, at least two of these magazines have
or are carrying stories and pictures about the killing
and the subsequent trial of Blevins.
Included are pictures of Chattooga County’s Earl
B. Self, solicitor and chief prosecutor in the trial, Jack
Knott, GBI agent who worked on the case, and At
torney Bobby Lee Cook, special prosecutor. Judge S. W.
Fariss also is pictured.
In addition, True Detective has honored Agent
Jack Knott with a citation as one of the outstanding
law enforcement officers in the nation in 1963.
*****
Chattooga County has a number of native sons
and daughters who have done well for themselves.
But few have done so well as has Reese Cleghorn.
The 34-year-old Lyerly native last week was named
associate editor of The Atlanta Journal.
He had already established for himself an enviable
record in the field of journalism, having held a high
position with Associated Press in New York, having
edited and published his own newspaper in California
and having had articles published in such outstanding
national magazines as The Saturday Evening Post
and Argosy.
We join with many other Chattooga Countians
■in .congratulating Mr. Cleghorn on this latest ad
vancement and extend best wishes for his continued
success.
