“The Hydroelectric Development of the Coosa River” was described last night by F.C. Weiss, vice president of the Alabama Power Company, to the Northwest Georgia Chapter of the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers.

POLIO CLINIC IN ROME TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW
The polio clinic at Floyd Health Department this week has been very disappointing, according to officials.
The clinic is free, and mainly for those who can’t afford to get shots from their doctor. Sponsored by the Floyd Polio Chapter, it started Monday and will continue through tomorrow, the hours 1 to 3:30 p.m.
The City Board of Education requires the polio shot along with the smallpox and triple vaccine for children entering the city schools in the first grade. The Floyd Board does not require the shot but it is recommended.
In order to get in the required three shots it was necessary to start this early in the summer.

LITTLE LEAGUERS EYE PERFECT CAMPAIGN
Only two games stand between Pepperell’s Little Leaguers and a perfect season.
They coasted to a 12-1 triumph over Floyd County Kiwanis Thursday night for their 18th consecutive win of the year. However, they have two make-up tilts in the offing, meeting the American Legion outfit at 6 o’clock tonight and squaring off with Kiwanis at 2:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon.
Mike Head was on the hill Thursday night and limited the enemy to three safeties. Jo-Jo Knight handled the catching duties.
Coach Otis Gilbreath’s boys garnered 14 hits. Leading the parade were Knight with three-for-four, a double and two singles; Rickey Stephens with two-for-four, a triple and a single; Johnny Mathis with two-for-four, a two-bagger and a single; and David Erwin with two-for-three, a double and a single. The game’s big blow was delivered by Gary Moore who blasted a home run.
