Will Atlanta
Gobble Griffin?
E. A. Isakson, chairman of the Georgia Real Estate
Commission, made a speech a few days ago to the Cobb
County Real Estate Board in Marietta.
It included some food for thought for Cobb and
Marietta — and since we are just a little further from
Atlanta than those two are, for Griffin and Spalding as
well.
“In 20 years,” Mr. Isakson declared, “Atlanta will be
a huge metropolitan complex with Marietta as one of
several boroughs within the area. . . . Everything within
35 miles of Five Points will be Atlanta. . • . Each borough
will have five or six representatives in a 30 or 40 member
board of aidermen, but there will be no city government in
the different borough.... In just 12 years, by 1980, there
will be 10 million people in the metro area. ... In order
to govern these citizens properly, people must begin think
ing about consolidated government.”
Now our comments:
Georgia has about four million people now in the entire
state. It is difficult for us to imagine 10 million in the
metro area in just 12 years. In order to reach that figure
the metro area undoubtedly would have to spread much
further in miles and in all directions than it does now. We
are not experts in population, but 10 million metro Geor
gians strains our imagination. Perhaps his “metro area”
includes other states, a kind of strip city.
As for Cobb County and others within 35 miles of Five
Points becoming part of a super city, we would not try to
predict what will occur in Cobb County 12 years from
now. We do not believe, though, that Griffin and Spalding
will become a mere “borough” with representatives on a
super board of aidermen sitting in Atlanta. It would be
unwise to surrender local government, and we do not think
that such will happen here.
Griffin-Spalding and Marietta-Cobb have a great deal
in common so far as proximity to Atlanta is concerned.
There are substantial differences, though. Cobb is closer,
for one thing, and has grown much faster than Spalding.
For another, Spalding has only one active incorporated
municipality, Griffin. Cobb has a number of them.
The fact that Griffin is Spalding’s one town makes it
easier for city and county to cooperate. This would be
much more difficult with several towns within a county.
Furthermore, eventual consolidation of city and county
into a single unit of government and through it mainten
ance of local identity is more likely.
The future looks bright for Griffin-Spalding, as it does
for Marietta-Cobb. We do not envision Atlanta swallow
ing us up, or swallowing Cobb either, for that matter. But
if it SHOULD gobble Cobb, it would take a great deal of
digesting before it bit at Spalding. From where we sit it
looks as if we will continue near to but independent of
Atlanta indefinitely.
Nevertheless, Mr. Isakson gave us some things to think
about, and the most important points upon which to think
are (1) that we must contend with the giant, (2) that
our local governments must be strong, efficient and cap
able in order to contend successfully, (3) that we must
plan for the future and for tremendous growth.
There are plenty of other things to consider, but these
certainly are enough for a starter.
The Arts Grow
Despite Fads
WINDSOR, ONTARIO, STAR
The new leisure which most developed parts of the
world have enjoyed in the past decade has produced many
superficial and, to pessimists, alarming forms of entertain
ment and recreation. But the older and more enduring
forms of culture have also benefited.
Today’s world of topless dancers, strange music, and
outlandish costume could scarcely be imagined 10 years
ago. To some, it may appear frightening evidence of a de
cline in both moral and esthetic values. The New Morality
itself, often an excuse to cover and justify familiar old
human traits, can be cited by pessimists as sure evidence
that our world is going to the dogs.
But are such things as styles in entertainment, music and
dress really permanent, or are they simply symbols of the
age ? They are only symbols. The world has gone through
many such symbols, and survived. Pessimists were once
alarmed by such dances as the Charleston or the Big Apple.
Flagpole sitting used to be cited as proof that the world
was nearing its end. Women who smoked were once
thought doomed and their world along with them. Yet the
world survived.
Serious music, . drama, painting, and other arts are
flourishing. Despite the empty beguilement of television,
public performances continue to draw good audiences to
symphony concerts, the ballet, and the theater. Art galler
ies find public support mounting. Amateur painting, sculp
ture and crafts are being taken up by new enthusiasts daily.
Such arts do not win the wide attention that the short
lived excesses command. It is now almost as socially ac
ceptable to express an interest in Beethoven as in the
Beatles, or in the classic proportions of the Venus de Milo
as m the measurements of a topless dancer. We shall prob
ably never reach a stage where culture becomes more pop
ular than entertainment.
Fads must soon disappear, if only to make way for new
ones.

Dreams
Do you believe in dreams? Do
they have any significance? I
would like your opinion. O.M.
The Bible Indicates that dr
eams have significance — at le
ast some of them. Joseph dr
eamed dreams that came true.
Joseph and Mary were “warn
ed of God In a dream that they
should not return to Herod,” and
they departed Into their country
another way. Daniel dreamed
significant and prophetic dreams
and Peter in his sermon on the
day of Pentecost said. “Your
young men shall see visions and
your old men shall dream dr
eams.”
Psychologists say that we all
dream every night. Most dreams
last only a few seconds, while
some may last for hours. Some
scientists think they are expres- .
sions of our Inner motives and
desires. Many students of the
Bible believe that God speaks
to men through dreams.
Sir Frederick Banting, the
Canadian physician who disco
vered the cause of diabetes, fo
und the cause in a dream. In the
middle of the night, he awoke
with a start. The dream he had
gave him the clue to the cause
of diabetes. Thousands of lives
have been saved by that dream.
George Handel, the composer
of the Messiah went to bed one
night restless because he could
not think of a good ending to his
oratorio. He dreamed he heard
angel voices singing the Halle
lujah Chorus, and he awoke
and set down the music he had
heard in a dream. Yes, some dr
eams have significance.

Streams and rivers, his

religious absolution, have
become, by ironic inver
sion, repositories for man’s

most of the life-sustaining
oxygen having been dis
placed by filth.
