C- Couple I In Hospita by Peggy Porter, The Waycross (G A friendly couple who said they had found it was a good idea to say nothing but "Yes, sir" when stopped by a policeman were "caught" here yesterday in Waycross' neighborly noose, 4 4 W e 1 c o m e World." Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Templeton of Clinton S C who were on their way to visit their grandchildren in Lake Wales. Fla., were stopped late one recent afternoon on Memorial Drive. "Arresting officer," Capt. H. E. Bond of the Waycross Police Department, and two members of the Waycross Kiwanis Club, this month's sponsor of the project, explained the city's hospitality program to the startled husband and wife. Both good sports, the Templetons laughed with relief when they realized that the arrest wasn't "real" and said that they thought it was "a wonderful idea." But Mrs. Templeton said later I wondered what I had been doing wrong. When I saw so many people get out of the police car and come over to us, I just didn't know what was going on." The Templetons were taken to the Arcade Motel, where they were to spend the night as the guests of the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Clint Culbreth. There they were interviewed by A1 Morris, radio announcer for WACL, and had their pictures made bv Paul Flanders. The Welcome Worlders were full of questions, and they were able to learn more about the attractive couple. The Templetons, who have i_ i _ _i r op Deen married ior oo years, have two daughters. The one in Lake Wales, whom they were going to see, has two children ? a 12-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy. Their other daughter is in summer school at Clemson. studying for her master's degree in nutrition. Templeton, who is vice president of Lydia and Clinton Cotton Mills in Clinton, also attended Clemson. And as Mrs. Templeton said, "He has been in textiles ever since."

Both of the Templetons are involved in the civic life of their community. Templeton told the group that he was a member of the Kiwanis Club, a fact which overjoyed F. C. Hambright and R. B. Dulaney, representatives of the local chapter. He is also on the executive council of the Blue Ridge of the Boy Scouts of America. Mrs. Templeton is active in all kinds of youth work. She especially enjoys working with the Camp Fire Girls. She also does volunteer work at Whitten Village, an institution for the mentally-retarded in Clinton. But neither of the Templetons consider their many civic activities as "work." As Mrs. Templeton said "These things are our hobbies." She said that her other main hobby is handwork, and that Mr. Templeton enjoys reading in his spare time. Both are members of the First Presbyterian Church in their city. The Templetons, who have been through Waycross many times, said that they like this section. Mrs. Templeton said that they had been "driving along, looking at all the pine trees." When someone remarked that she sounded like a native Georgian, she laughed and said that she is. She was born in Carlton, although she only lived there three months before her family moved.

When Gershwin wrote that lovely song, he purposely neglected to mention the bugaboo that can make your summer living uneasy ? the mosquito problem. A lot of today's living is carried on outdoors as can be seen by the increasing popularity of "backyard" parties ana outdoor barbecues. Because of this trend, we find that the need for controlling mosquitoes is greater than ever before. Since all mosquitoes require water in the first stages of development our first project should be the elimination of any stagnant water in the yard that might encourage the insects to breed there. These preventative measures will help also: Empty any water - holding containers, such as old tin cans or paint cans that might be found around the garage, and unused flower pots or watering cans in the yard. Keep roof gutters clean and free from blockage. Piled-up leaves and other debris, when soaked with rain, become an excellent breeding spot for the insects. CAR NAPPER Rufus Handback asked to borrow Harold Hairston's car to go home to lunch the other day, his own car being in the shop. After lunch he tried to start the car to come back but it failed to start. He called Harold to get someone's car and come start his. Harold went outside and there was his '60 Oldsmobile still parked outside the gate. When he drove up at the Handbacks in his own car Rufus' eyes nearly popped out. It seems that he had gone home in Houston Ellis' '59 Oldsmobile instead. Plow he got it started is still a mystery. So if you are missing a car some day just look for PllfllC iiui uo. little late arriving in Lake Wales). Tracy Everett of Standard Oil gave them a tank of gas and the Green Frog gave them dinner and breakfast. The Welcome World guests said over and over again that "We'll never forget it" at the dinner held in their honor at the Green Frog. Later they attended a square dance session at the Elks Home. "Waycross has a place in my heart," Tcmpleton remarked, "because it is a nice town with nice people." Comments of the couple were recorded by Kadi o Station WAYX and will be sent to their home as a gift from the station. The next morning Jaek Williams, Jr., editor and publisher of the Journal-Herald, took them on a tour of the Okefenokee Swamp Park. "Thrilling" was Templeton's one-word summary of the Welcome World project. HOBNOBBII EMPLOYEE Vfa't'lfk: ''~Clark Meadors ?
