Last Saturday morning 1 was on the Shirley Highway, a limited access road into Washington, when I came up with a blown tire. I pulled over and had jack ed up the front and when one of those “behemoths” bearing the “Carolina” legend, pulled up in front of me, and a very efficient gentleman stepped out of the cab and immediately took charge of my tire changing operation. At his quiet but forceful insistence, I sat in the car, held my foot on the brake, while he pulled off the brown tire And put on the spare. Your man saved me a great deal of time and trouble, restored a good deal of faith in the story of the good Samaritan. I’d like to send him a good thick steak.” Mr. Beam identified the driver as Lynn Brinkley. At last re ports'. Mr. Brinkley was scheduled to get his steak.

Several stops were made enroute, to get soft drinks, apples, candy, potato chips nuts, tangerines and or anges. Upon the arrival every one unloaded to get lunch. Some of the crowd dined at the Ship A’Hoy Restaurant, one of the lar gest eating establishments in the South, and via a Cherryville girl, Miss Helen McGinnas, serves as hostess in the Ship A’Hoy, how ever, she was otf duty Saturday, but we were seated by an assis tant and served by the most cour teous waitresses. And we will give you a tip here, “if you are ever in Atlanta, dine at the Ship A’ Hoy and if Miss McGinnas is not; on duty, the other good looking waitresses will serve you with the same service and you will receive genuine Southern hospitality and you will also eat some of the finest foods, prepared in the good old Southern style. After lunch every one was re freshed and ready to board the bus for the football stadium which was ten blocks from the square in Atlanta. On the way down, the group appointed Fred C.
