Franklin Soldier
Gets Hole-In-One
On Georgia Links
MSgt. Harold L. Baldwin, of
Franklin, who is stationed at
the Atlanta (Ga.) General De
pot, recently became a one-in
a-million golfer.
Here's an account from the
depot newspaper of how the
local soldier joined golfdom's
Hall of Fame:
"On a recent Saturday, M
Sgt. Harold L. Baldwin stepped
up to the tee on hole number
two of the Depot golf course,
chose his four wood, and pro
ceeded to split the fairway of
the 250-yard layout with a per
fect drive. The result: a hole
in-one.
"I saw a piece of paper off
the far side of the green and
thought it was my ball," Bald
win says. "When I discovered
my error, there was only one
other place to look ? in the hole
? and there it was."
It was the first hole-in-one
for the course and for Baldwin.
"I was so excited I blew up
on the rest of the round," Bald
win exclaims. He "blew up" to
a neat 34 for the nine holes,
which is near the course record
for Depot personnel, a 31 shot
by Major Milton B. Christian.
Baldwin previously recorded a
33 without benefit of an ace.
"The ball hit directly in front
of the green, rolled through the
sand trap and into the cup,
traveling about 25 feet after
settling to the ground.
"In the party with Baldwin
were Major Christian, Captain
Roy Southern and M/Sgt Harold
Womack."

Ever See around a, Comer?
The stunning new windshield you find in
every 1954 Buick does a lot more than
merely keynote the most modern beauty of
the times.
Just take the driver's seat in any one of
these tomorrow-styled ears and you'll feel
positively eagle-eyed.
That spectacular sweep of glass broadens
your point of view to the right and to the
left.
It puts more safety in your seeing. It lets you
see more of what's coming from the sides ?
and quicker and easier, too ? because the
corner posts are pulled 'way back.
This, you realize, is true panoramic visi
bility ? and makes anything else seem as
outdated as long skirts.
But you ought to look into what else goes
with the dream-car styling of these great
new Buicks.
You ought to look into the whip-like per
formance of true high-compression V8
CAN YOU SEE ? STEM . STOP SAFELY? CHECK YOU* CAH-CHECK ACCIDENTS
engines that reach new horsepower highs.
\ou ought to look into the silky new ride,
the new handling ease, the utter smooth'
ness and instant response of Twin -Turbine
Dynaflow.*
Most of all, you ought to look into the sen
sational new Buick Century that's taking
the country by storm? the great new Buick
performer that gives you more horsepower
per dollar than any other car in America.
We cordially invite you to come in today or
the first thing tomorrow ? to see and drive
one of these great new Buicks? and judge for
yourself that here is the beauty and the buy
of the year, by far.
