New Facilities
Are Slated at
Georgia Park
ATLANTA (GPS) Approx
imately SIOO,OOO worth of
facilities will be part of the
initial development of the new
Coffee County State Park near
Douglas, it was announced by
State Parks Director John L.
Gordon.
The first facilities to be con
structed at the 1,480-acre state
park will include a caretaker’s
residence, a rest station, a com
fort station, a well and water
system, picnic tables, grills, and
25 tent camping sites with
water and electricity hookups.
Construction of these facil
ities is expected to begin in the
near future, it was pointed out.
Commenting on the future
state park, Director Gordon
said:
“We are very grateful to
Senator Frank Eldridge of the
7th District and the represent
atives of the U.S. Bureau of
Outdoor Recreation, the City
of Douglas and Coffee County
whose cooperative efforts have
transformed the dream of a
state park in this part of Geor
gia into a reality.
“What is being accom
plished in Coffee County is an
outstanding example of what
city, county, state and federal
teamwork can do for the
people of Georgia.”
The site of Coffee County
State Park is located five miles
west of Douglas on Route 32
and less than 50 miles east of
Interstate 75.
The area has been described
as a highly scenic and heavily
wooded region where natural
beauty is unhampered by tra
versing power lines.
For every dollar donated by
Americans in 1969, CARE de
livered $8.53 in food, self-help
and medical aid to less fortu
nate peoples. Public contribu
tions to CARE, New York
10016, are multiplied by U. S.
donations of farm abundance
and operating support from
local governments.

ATLANTA (PRN) - The
first time I saw her she was
walking along the dock,
carrying four large trolling
rods and a bucket of squid.
She was wearing a pair of
shorts and a striped tee-shirt,
like girls wear when they go to
the beach, but she wasn’t
worrying about towels and
suntan lotion and where the
boys were, she was thinking
about ice arid bait and if it was
going to rain and what kind of
sea she was going to have.
“Judy Helmey?” I asked.
“Right,” she answered, “want
to go fishing?” I had found an
animal that shortly before I
didn’t know existed-a girl
charter boat captain.
Judy and her dad, Captain
Sherman Helmey, run a
charter boat service out of
Savannah. She has been
captain of her own boat for
three years, quite a feat for
any 18-yearold, male or
female. Her career on the sea
actually started when she was
five years old, because that’s
when her mother died.
“Daddy didn’t have anywhere
to leave me, so I had to go
along with him. By the time I
was a teen-ager, I had spent a
lot of time on the water, and I
knew a lot about fishing,” she
said. “I thought it was a lot of
fun then and I still do.”
One day more customers
showed up than Capt. Helmey
had room for, but none of
them wanted to go anywhere
else. Like the stand-in on
Broadway, this was Judy’s big
chance. When Capt. Helmey
asked the men on the dock if
any of them would mind
fishing from a boat captained
by his daughter, I’ll bet every
one of them volunteered. Ever
since, during the spring,
summer and early fall, Judy
has been plying her trade as a
charter boat captain.
■ “Dad got to thinking about
it awhile back and sort of
thought I needed something
more than just a high school
education, so I took a
secretarial course,” Judy
smiled from behind long
blonde hair that fell over her
shoulders. “I enjoyed it,
because the people were so
nice to me, but I knew all
along that I had rather be

fishing.”
Last year after Judy
graduated from Savannah High
School she got married, so her
real name is not Helmey, but
Jones. Judy Jones, charter
boat captain. “Everybody in
the fishing business still calls
me Helmey, because of my
dad, but I don’t care,” she
laughed. “Helmey and
Helmey. My dad and 1 are
partners.”
“What happens if your
motor breaks down?” It was a
stupid question. “I fix it,” she
said. “I’ve never had anything
to happen that I couldn’t
handle, except once. That
time I called dad and he came
over and helped us out.”
With an attractive girl out
on a big ocean alone with
several men, do any special
problems arise? “I’ve only had
one guy that ever got out of
line, and he had been drinking
quite a bit. He couldn’t keep
his hands off of me, so I gave
him a little shove. He fell
down in the bottom of the
boat, and after that he didn’t
bother me anymore. But I was
sure glad he got out of there
before dad found out about
it.”
While we were talking,
carloads of fishermen were
whizzing down U.S. 17 on
their way to Florida. Highway
17 runs along the Georgia
coast, and I’ve heard it said
that it carries the heaviest
traffic load in the state. These
fishermen are passing right by
some of the greatest fishing on
the Atlantic Seaboard, off the
Georgia coast. Hundreds of
Spanish mackerel are being
caught here now, some as big
as seven pounds. Not to
mention dolphin, king
mackerel, snapper, bass,
wahoo, sailfish, marlin, and
even tarpon.
If you would like to give it
a try, give Judy or her dad a
-call, area code 912, 897-2478.,
Judy can’t go to the Gulf
Stream, because it’s too far,
and her boat isn’t that big. But
she knows where the fish are,
and the rates are extremely
reasonable. In fact, there are a
number of excellent charter
boats on the Georgia coast.
Too bad so many people are in
such a hurry to get to Florida.

IN MEMORY OF

The evening of Aug. 22,
1968,
Our hearts were broken
when Johnny passed away.
We miss his smile, I miss his
touch
I miss his voice. 1 loved him
so much.
But only time can heal our
broken hearts they say.
I’m trusting in God to meet
him some day.
For two years now we’ve
visited his grave
We miss him so much day
by day.
He finished his work he
kept the faith
His suffering is over with
Jesus he’s safe.

Talmadge Defense
Os C 5 A Continues
ATLANTA (GPS) For the
second time within a few
weeks, U.S. Senator Herman
Talmadge has come to the
defense of Lockheed-Georgia’s
CSA transport plane.
In his latest Senate speech
on the subject, the Georgia sen
ator accused two colleagues
who oppose the controversial
aircraft of a “deliberate” at
tempt to bankrupt Lockheed
Aircraft Corporation, the con
tractor.
He centered his attack on
Senators William Proxinire
(D-Wis.) and Richard S.
Schweiker (R Pa.) for their
sponsorship of an amendment
restricting approval of the
S2OO-million contingency fund
sought by Lockheed.
Charging that the proposed
amendment is designed “to
force the contractor to bank
rupt,” Sen. Talmadge said it
sets up only two conditions
under which the fund could be
spent to continue CSA produc
tion beyond the end of 1970.
“The first condition is im
possible to meet,” he declared.
“The second is bankruptcy for
Lockheed, the CSA contractor.
Conspicious by its absence is a
condition which would allow
the contingency fund to be
spent following a negotiated
settlement between the Depart
ment of Defense and Lock
heed.”
The Georgia senator said the
sponsors of the amendment bill
it as a “keep building the
planes amendment” that would
keep the Lockheed employees
at work, insure that the planes
would be produced and protect
the government’s interest.
But Sen. Talmadge con
tended that by forcing Lock
heed into bankruptcy the
amendment would have exact
ly the opposite effect.
The proposed amendment
states the S2OO-million can be
spent only if the Armed
Services Board of Contract
Appeals rules that a part or all
the money is owed Lockheed,
or if a trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization determines that
the funds were needed to com-

Sen. Talmadge called the
amendment an attempt “to do
indirectly what its sponsors
have previously attempted to
do directly by eliminating the
S2OO-million contingency
fund.”
He asserted that such action
would “bring chaos to the C 5
program, waste millions of
dollars of taxpayers’ money
and deny the American people
an airplane vital for defense.”
