Harlem Bulldogs face Lincoln County
The Harlem Bulldogs will be looking for victory No. 6 this Friday when they journey to Lincoln County to meet one of the toughest foes in Region 4-C in the Lincolnton Red Devils.
Lincolnton will be out for blood this year as it was the same Harlem crew that knocked the props from under the high-flying Red Devils last year.
Lincolnton, several times state champs, was not only beaten, but held scoreless for the first time in over 40 games by Coach Denny Kline's crew
Winfield a finalist
Georgia's "Stay and See" program enters its final stages this week as three travel authorities begin a five-day judging tour of 13 Georgia communities to determine which one will be designated the 1965 "Stay and See Georgia Champion."
The Winfield community of Columbia County was named last week as a semi-finalist in population V (under 250), competing against Crawfordville for the title in this division.
Although Winfield is the smallest town making the semi-finals, it has probably put as much effort into its planning as any town to reach this milestone. More than $14,800 has been spent to improve the public buildings.
Winfield's entry into the contest was sponsored by the Winfield Home Demonstration Club, Mrs. A.B. Thomas, president.
The Stay and See Committee was headed by Mrs. Albert Dozier, with Mrs. Byron Maguire, Mrs. Lloyd Paschal, Mrs. H.E. Bullard and Mrs. Talmadge Thomas, committee members.
Mrs. Dozier said the judges will be shown several points of interest.
Among them will be Mistletoe State Park, where construction is just beginning; Rousseau Springs, famous for its mineral water; Happy Valley, homesite and burial place of Basil Neal, Revolutionary War soldier and his son, Basil Llewellyn Neal, Confederate soldier; Rose Hill, home of Ignatius Few, founder of Emory University; Pecan Grove Farm, site of the home of William Few, signer of the U.S. Constitution; Woodville, built in 1814 of timber sawed by hand; Cedarville, built in 1858 upon a land grant from King George III, and Winfield Hills.
