The most delightful golf book
ever to cross this desk is Bobby
Jones new Golf is My Game. /"
which is written in Jones' easy
and charming manner. In the
most captivating part. he re-
lives his Grand Slam Of 1880.
Bobby devotes nearly three
pages to his semifinal match in
the 1890 British Amateur, the
first step In the Grand SLAM.
His opponent was Washington 8
George Voigt. three-time men,
ber Of the Walker Cup team and
now retired Treasury Depart
ment employe.
Without the British Amateur
victory. there could not have
been a sweep Of the amateur
and open championships Of
Great Britain and the United
States. And In the two amateur
championships where match
play was involved. Jones was
closer to defeat against Voigt
than anybody else.
. HHA
One Of Voigt's proudest pos
sessions Is his newly-received
copy Of Jones book, auto
graphed by Bobby. "I'm going
to write Bobby a long letter
thanking him." George said the
other day. "It's a wonderful
book. and. I'll treasure 1t
always"
Voigt said Jones' description
Of the match in which George
had his famed opponent 2 down
with five TO play Is exactly as
1t is In his memory.
"The only thing I didn't
know about the match was the
glass Of sherry" Voigt said.
- An
Jones had brushed on his
quarter-hnal opponent, 4 and
3 on the morning Of his match
with Voigt. and he faced q long
wait before the afternoon semi
final. Tired and nervous, he
suggested to his wife that they
have q glass Of sherry on the
hotel balcony that overlooks the
18th green at st. Andrews.
It was the first drop of
alcohol he ever had touched
before playing o tournament
round, Bobby confesses.
It also was O great mistake.
The wine flushed his face and
he became keenly aware that
his eyes were the slightest bit
out Of focus. II really began to
get panicky as our starting
time approached and the con-
dition continued" Jones writes.
But Bobby holed o 15-footer
for a birdie three on the first
hole to match Voigt's birdie
made from Is feet away. He
solemnly declares the sherry
still was in his eyes until more
than half the round had been
played.
The first nine was tight. and
they were even with 37s. Veigt
won the 10th and 18th for his
Cup margin. and Jones writes
Of how with Voigt'sS help.
Bobby won the 14th, 18th and
18th holes to win, l up.
II did not think Voigt was
the kind Of player who would
toss away this sort Of lead, I"
Jones writes, land I was quite
certain that I was not capable
Of the golf needed to wrest 1t
away from him. All I could do
was what I did, namely, resolve
to swallow the medicine, what
ever 1t might be. and to keep
on trying as best I could"

|SOuthside Milk Producers Unit
To Settle Milking Center Issue

ISOLATION will decide tonight
Monday whether or not to es-
tablish a milking center in the
area.
Thomas Stark, Jr., of Amelia
announced today the meeting is
to be held in the Blackstone
Municipal Building. At the same
time he expressed the view that
the association will reject this
thing due to the fact it would
be revolutionary in this area. ="
Stark is president of the as
ISOLATION.
"A milking center is defined
as a grouping Of dairy COWS
from several owners in a cen
trail location where the COWS are
housed, fed, MIXED and cared
for. The milk from these cows
is pooled and marketed by the
manager.)
First Approval
At a membership meeting Of
the association on April q a
small majority Of the members
present voted to proceed with
plans for central milking facili-
ties for 500 or more COWS.
Tho plan was to establish a
milking center in Amelia county

of milk COWS might permanently
locate their herds. Stark explain
ed they would be housed in a
central barn in groups of 20,

Interstate Highway
Decision Delayed
Congressman
POff Wins Delay
For New Study

A final decision on the location
Of Virginia east-west Interstate
Highway link Route GA .
which had been expected by this
time has been put off further.
The U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads has Inc last Say-so over
the location since the federal
government puts up 80 per cent
of the construction funds, while
the states add the other 10 per
cent. It also has standards to
guide it.
Bertram D. Tallamy, federal
highway commissioner, last week
wrote a letter to H. H. Harris,
Virginia Highway Commissioner,
announcing the new delay. He
said it had been requested by
Congressman Richard H. Poff of
Radford and the Sixth Virginia
District.
Sees Costs Closer
Tallamy disclosed that Poff
had requested another cost study
Of the two routes over which
final selection has waxed hot.
The Congressman pointed out
that revised estimates and newer
calculations may bring the costs
of the two routes much closer
together than originally calcu-
lated.
The Virginia Highway Depart
ment'S own study in 1858 indi-
Gated that the southern route
would cost 38 million dollars
more than the northern route.
The new study will be pre-
pared by engineers of the Vir-
ginia Highway Department. 1t is
expected to require a delay of
some length both for the engi-
neering study. and then recon
sideration by all the intermedi-
ate and final approving head
quarters.
Once Approved
The Bureau of Public Roads
had originally approved the
northern route before a southern
alternate was suggested. The Vir-
ginia Highway Commission fin
ally voted approval of the south
ern route. This has brought con-
tinuing and vigorous protests
from proponents of the northern
route.
The mort hern route would
parallel U. S. Ri. $50 to Char
lotteSville and Stanton, then
overlap Int. Rt. 81 to Lexington,
turning west to Clifton Forge.
The southern route would paral-
lei U. S. Ri. $50 and 46O to Roa-
noke. then swing along U. S. Ri.
