WEAR Honor America’s W or Dead The poppy as the memorial flower for American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following die first World War. Veterans return ing to their homes in this coun try remembered the wild pop pies which lined the devastated battlefields of France and Flan ders, and Uie soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of tiieir dead comrades’ sacri fice. Miss Moina Michael of Athens, Ga. first originated the idea of wearing the poppy in honor of the war dead. The poppy program begins in die fall when disabled veterans start making die flowers in government hospitals and spe cial convalescent workshops maintained by the American Legion Auxiliary. Orders of poppies means money for dis abled veterans to meet per sonal needs or to send home, as well as freedom from the monotonous hospital routine.

SENATOR RICHARD B. RUSSELL AND MAYOR C. A. RUTLEDGE visit the site in Yargo State Park where con struction has started on an area for the disabled. On the left is News publisher Harry O, Smith, Senator Russell, Construction Starts On Facilities for Disabled Twenty-six years ago when C. O, Maddox, Sr. started work ing with the Federal and State governments to obtain the land that was to become Fort Yargo State Park, he probably never thought that a part of this beautiful park would be one of the first in Uie nation where facilities for the use of the disabled people would be built. Mayor Rugledge and Sam Dunaway, soil conservationist Senator Russell and Major Rutledge arc largely respon- sibl e for making these facilities available at Yargo State Park.

The trend from returns tliat have been counted indicate that George C. Wallace will get about 55% of the votes for President of the United States, in Barrow County, with die other 45% being divided about evenly between Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphry. Senator Herman Talmadge is an easy winner in Barrow Coun ty by a landslide of about 95% of the local votes over Repub lican Earl Patton. Local Democrats won all con tested races in Barrow. Re presentative James Paris, a Democrat, apparently wins over his Republican opponent Philip Gresham b? about 2 to 1. Par is will represent the 14th House District consisting of Barrow and Oconee County. Democrat Aaron Looper is die apparent winner over his Republican opponent Mrs. El len Venable, by about500 votes. Democrat Tim Segars wins the County Commissioners Race for District No. 2 over Mr, Maddox, who was one of die first to realize the por- tentialities of a park at Fort Yargo, had many plans and dreams for tis development and use. He worked diligently for years to bring tliis park to our community and deserves much of the credit for it becoming a reality. The final development was the result of the combined efforts of a number of individuals and organizations including Senator Richard B. Russell who worked so close with local groups in makeing the park possible; Ma yor C. A Rutledge who was instrumental in helping to final ize the plans for the handicap ped area in addition to working with the members of the City Council and Parks Department in changing the City’s sewerage system to take It out of the lake area. The County Commission ers, the Oconee River Soil and Water Conservation District, the organization and final ap proval of the Marbury Creek, Watershed project , which in cluded tiie multi-purpose lake in die Fort Yargo State Park, made the park possible. Horace Caldwell, former State Parks Director, was vi tally interested in the project and helped in its planning. The State Parks Department with cooperation of Federal and local governments built the lake and recreation facilities includ ing camping, picnicking, boat ing, swimming, fishing, tennis, indoor roller - skating, min iature golf and scenic trails. The latest addition to be ap proved by Governor Lester Maddox and John L. Gordon, director of the Georgia Depart ment of State Parks are die Out door Recreation Facilities for the disabled. The state will con tribute $725,000 for the con struction of these Facilities which when completed will cost SI 450,000, half of whichiscon- tributed by the Federal Govern ment. The contract for constru ction has been awarded to J. ^ Burdette Company of Atlanta, ° who has already the low bidder. started grading. The facilities for the dis abled will provide for a variety of ourdoor opportunities for the handicapped. In explaining the purpose of the development Mr. Gordon said that some 50,000 disabled individuals in th' 1 Stn»e of Georgia who could benefit from outdoor recreation are now denied the' opportun ity because of the inability to manuever the park paths, the steps, the narrow door ways, and other obsticles that block the wheel-chair the crutch,and tiie blind. The special facilities at Fort Yargo Park will remove as many stunbling blocks as possible. Mr. Gordon expressed his appreciation to Senator Russell and Senator Herman Talmadge for their valuable assistance in obtaining funds for this project. He said that some 13 agencies serving the ill and disabled in Georgia have been actively en gaged in the planning process.
