JESSE MCLENDON GIVEN SEND-OFF STEAK DINNER
The men who work with him in transporting Schley county's children to school 
got together at a steak diner Wednesday to give able, popular Jesse McLendon a 
rousing send-off to the army.  Driver of County Line bus for six years, Jesse 
had a perfect record for safety and won the confidence and admiration of the 
boys and girls, their parents, school officials and the general public.  The 
dinner was staged in his honor at the Belmont Hotel.  There weren't any 
speeches, just a swell meal, a lot of jovial conversation and a round of firm 
handshakes.  "This one is for Jesse, to let him know what we think of him," 
said big Leo Williams as the meal started.  That was all the speech-making 
that took place.  Jesse pulled out for Fort McPherson Thursday morning.  
Attending were A.P. Snipes, L.S. McMickle, M.C. Murray, Willie Stewart, E.E. 
Jernigan, C.H. Greene, Leo Williams and the guest of honor, drivers of the 
county system, and Raymond Duncan.
