Communist pressures that
would wreck snd ruin this coun
try,” Gov. Lester Maddox
charged Thursday.
Maddox was recatlng to the
GEA’s public stand against the
posslbiliy of closing public
schools rather than submit to
federal desegregation pressures.
Saying he has called for clos
ing the schools only as a last re
sort, however, the governor add
ed that “I am glad to see that
the GEA has come over to our
side and wants to keep schools
open.”
Wednesday, GEA president
Franklin Shumake said, "We
will resist any continued effors
in Georgia to close schools, de
feat bond elections, defy laws
and promote subsandard
schools.”
Braniff May Seek
South America Route
ATLANTA (UPI) — Within
the next 10 years, Atlanta will

president and chairman of the
board of Braniff Inernational
Airlines, said Thursday.
Lawrence made the predic
tion as he announced the in
auguration of Braniff service
between Atlanta and Hawaii.
Braniff will initiate the first

Sept. 1.
Lawrence said he was delight
ed a recent Civil Aeronautics
Board decision had awarded
Braniff the “coveted” Atlanta
market for the Hawaiian flight.
The Atlanta area is about 21st
in the nation in total population
but 12th in the volume of air
traffic, he said, and predicted
120 passengers per day would
use the new service by 1970.
Braniff’s Atlanta to Hawaii
flight will cost about $250,
Lawrence said.
However, he added, Braniff
and the other major carriers
have applied for a rate increase
which would be "in the neigh
borhood of eight per cent” if
approved.

RECREATION AND TRAVEL
New Houseboating Wrinkle:
Central Booking Service
By JIM CROSSLEY
“Houseboating is like be
ing able to pull up the
anchor on your motel room
and cruise around all over
the place. No wonder it is
getting so popular.”
This is Russ Chittenden
talking, operator of Port
Ken-Bar on Lake Barkley,
Ky., and pioneer houseboat
enthusiast.
“Houseboating offers the
very best of resort cot
taging, yachting, trailering
and motor touring. It takes
a little from each and comes
up with a unique experience.
“With the newest develop
ment, a central reservation
office for the country,” he
says, “houseboating has
overcome one of its early
drawbacks — the potential
client’s tough assignment of
tracking down a boat to rent,
located and timed to fit his
vacation.
“This year Rent-A-Cruise
of America, with an office in
Florence, Ala., co-ordinates
all queries and charters for
nearly 100 localities from
Maine to California and the
Lakes to the Gulf. Interested
families just select an area
for vacationing and Rent-A-
Cruise makes all the ar
rangements. This even in
cludes having disposable
galleyware like plastic
dishes, glasses and knives,
forks and spoons and a kit of
disposable sheets and pillow
cases ready on board at de
parture time.
“The whole thing is so
futuristic it shakes you up.
There's nothing new about
houseboating really. Since
people began settling along
the Mississippi and the Ohio
houseboats were familiar
sights.
“Cincinnati, Ohio, for in
stance, long before air-con
ditioning, drew part of its

UN WEATHER FOTOCAST®
character from the river
scene on hot summer eve
nings. Families were escap
ing the heat on their little
houseboats chugging up to
ward Coney Island, eating
slipper on the open-air front
porch. It was as much a part
of the city as cable cars in
San Francisco.
“Boats were built by the
owners then. Not in fac
tories. Many a Star auto
lived a long afterlife when
its engine was salvaged from
a junk yard to propel a boat.
“In some ways this change
is really rich. Houseboating
along the Mississippi was
just the opposite to the pres
tige-builder it is today. The
shanty boat dwellers of days
gone by were pretty low on
the social stairstep.”
The trim craft that make
up the Port Ken-Bar fleet are
a typical 32 feet in length.
They are designed to look
“boatish” but also “motel
ish.” Most of the customers
are resort hotel people
rather than boaters.
Bunks and convertible
furniture stretch sleeping ac
commodations. The kitchen,
icebox, shower and lavatory
are miniatures but adequate.
Carpeting and vinyl floors
heighten the motel room
look. Every nook is a stor
age area.
“These little floating cot
tages are increasing by the
hundreds each year,” says
Chittenden. “Operating them
is no problem. Controls are
simplified. There’s a brief
manual for guidance.
“For reassurance, as much
as anything else, the Rent-
A-Cruise client is covered by
insurance as part of his
rental. And if he cares to, he
can hike the liability from
$50,000 to $350,000 with a per
trip policy that isn’t expen
sive.”

All kinds of plants
grow in rural Georgia
Rural Georgia is growth country . . . for in
dustry as well as agriculture. There are favorable
tax and labor situations, sites usually cost less to
buy and build on.
And many industries find a fresh outlook in the
rural areas. Industry, like people, seems to thrive
in fresh air, and breathing space also means expan
sion space at realistic costs.
The Consumer-Owned electric systems, long spe
cializing in supplying low-cost electric power to rural
areas, are working with local and state leaders to
re-vitalize rural Georgia . . . help provide more job
opportunities . . . help restore the balance between
rural and urban communities.
It's part of a long-standing dedication to making
our communities better places in which to live.
