“Amazing Atlanta” was the
theme of a special edition of
Sunday’s Atlanta Journal-Con
stitution. One of the many
‘amazing” things about the
special edition was its size-300
pages-with a great deal of it
being made up of the story of
Atlanta, with special emphasis
on what had happened during
1960-70.
The entire edition was a
credit to the City of Atlanta,
and to Atlanta Newspapers,
publishers of the combined
papers, and, in fact, a credit to
Georgia, for in telling the story
of “Amazing Atlanta” one could
not overlook the story of
Glorious, Glamorous Georgia.
While mere size should not
always be the criteria for
judging a paper, a magazine or
a book, still we do not recall any
newspaper published in the
southeast any larger - unless it
has been some Florida paper
extolling the merits of “The
Sunshine State.”
The history of Atlanta, less
than 150 years ago an Indian
village, has truly been
“Amazing” especially has this
been true during the 1960-70 era.
From the very first, the citi
zens of what is now Atlanta,
have been “Alert”, “Am
bitious”, “Aggressive”, “Ac
tive” and “Awakened” to the
possibilities of their city, thus
they laid the foundation - “The
Atlanta Spirit” that “Assured”
this “Amazing Atlanta.” In fact
the growth and development of
our sister city has at times been
“Alarming.”
It’s interesting to this neigh
bor of Atlanta to note that the
first name of the settlement was
“terminus” spelled with a small
“t”. This was where two rail
roads, one from Augusta, the
other from Montgomery had
their terminals. Then the name
was changed to “Marthasville”
in honor of the daughter of
Governor Lumpkin; and then to
Atlanta.
No doubt thousands of copies
of this “Amazing Atlanta”
edition will be mailed to people
in other states. There is no way
to estimate the interest they will
create.
Georgians have always been
proud of Atlanta though it has at
times been mighty hard for
some to admit this. Years ago
there was a story going the
rounds in the city rooms of
Atlanta newspapers.
It seems that years before the
Atlanta Constitution had an
editorial in which they chided
the City of Savannah for not
taking advantage of being the
state’s largest seaport and said
something about “if Atlanta
was on the shores of the Atlantic
Ocean we’d outgrow New
York.”
It may have been an editor
of the Savannah paper, or it
may have been Johnny Spencer,
of the Macon Telegraph coming
to the aid of Savannah, who
answered this saying, “If
Atlanta could suck as hard as
she can blow she’d suck the
Atlantic right up to the door
steps of the Constitution.”
There was rivally between the
cities then, but even then under
neath it all, all Georgia cities
were proud of all other Georgia
cities.
Those responsible for the
special booster edition chose the
adjective “Amazing” in des
cribing Atlanta.
If Good Evening were asked
to select an alliterative ad
jective to be used in describing
Griffin he would have a hard
time choosing between
“Glorious”, “Growing”, and
“Gracious.”
Take your pick! Or do you
have a better one?

Center Here Helps Teach Teachers
Updating teaching methods
and increasing subject informa
tion through in-service training
programs, as well as individual
teacher consultation is the goal
of the Griffin based Educational
Services Center, according to
Director Dr. Robert E. Flan
ders and Associate Director
William E. Brizzell.
In an interview in their offices
Dr. Flanders and Bizzell talked
about the progress and ac
complishments of their unit
since its start during the 1966-67
school year. The center is
housed in the old Vineyard
school.
“Before the inception of
Georgia’s shared services
project, of which we are one of
three in the atate, the small
school system did not have
suffient personnel, nor money,
to be able to afford the services
of a staff of consultants in the
necessary curriculum areas,”
Flanders said.
Mr. Bizzell concurred that
forming seven school systems
into a service area, with each
system’s paying the equivalent
of one consultant’s salary, was
the only reasonable way to de
fray the operating costs of such
a project.
Not only does Bizzell serve as
the center’s associate director,
but he also acts as science
consultant for the seven parti
cipating school systems:

Because - -
Griffin has been my home for so many years I
don’t feel like I could ever change it for another.
We have a wonderful hospital, staff of nurses
and doctors. We also have the best police force in
Georgia. Our schools and teachers are the best any
where.
The people of Griffin are wonderful, it just
makes you never want to leave. I came to Griffin
in 1916 and have never thought of leaving, for this
to me is a beautiful city.

Health Center Plans
German Measles Fight
A mass immunization
campaign designed to “end
German measles” in Spalding
County will be undertaken Jan.
29-30. Immunization teams will
visit elementary schools in the
county to immunize susceptible
children in the first five grades
and susceptible girls in the sixth
grade.
The program is part of a
statewide effort to eradicate
“German” measles in Georgia,
announced earlier this year by
the Georgia Department of
Public Health.
German measles is not the
in January of 1969 in antici
pation of regulations requiring
that by 1972, 25 per cent of all
secondary school teachers must
have their masters degree,”
Bizzell said.
The center is building a pro
fessional library to be used by
teachers to assist them in
selecting new text books in
addition to providing a reserve
of knowledge concerning course
content and new teaching
techniques.
Flanders, a highly renowned
educator in his own right, went
on to explain how the library
will work.
“We are purchasing pro
fessional books for teachers in
all of the critical curriculum
areas, which will be available to
teachers on a check-out basis
just like from the public
library,” Dr. Flanders said.
Art, mathematics, social
studies, reading, language arts,
foreign languages, science,
vocational education, and
special education consultation
are offered through the center.
“Special education involves a
pretty sizable number of
students in each system when
we consider all of those who are
mentally retarded, handi
capped, emotionally disturbed,

same as the “big red”, “bad”,
seven-day measles. Children
need a shot for both kinds of
measles. The German measles
(or Rubella) shot has never
been given in the school before
this year. The big red, seven
day measles shot has been
given before in Georgia shcools.
Only the children who have
been immunized by their
physician against German
measles should not take the
vaccine at this time. However,
if there is doubt as to whether or
not a child has had the disease
or the vaccine, parents were ad-

Friday To Be
School Day
Students in the Griffin-
Spalding School System will
have a regular school day
Friday. Originally it had been
scheduled as a student holiday
and a teacher work day.
Because icing closed the
schools here Jan 12., the day
will be made up this Friday.
Teachers will make up the work
day June 10.
Exams are scheduled this
week and Supt. D. B. Christie

children to school if possible.

population,” Bizzell said.
Because of the Educational
Services Center’s concern for
assisting school systems with
new ideas and methods in
teaching, Dr. Flanders sees that
the responsibility for providing
teacher training for sex
education courses in secondary
schools might come under the
center’s job if the systems it
serves desired such assistance.
“This is a course that I’m
sure that, at least in the secon
dary program, somebody
should be doing...a constructive
job of teaching (sex
education)” Dr. Flanders said.
Flanders added that such
courses should only be taught
by a highly competent in
structor with all available in
formation and tools, such as
films and speakers, at his
disposal.
“The school is the only insti
tution (that can reach all young
people)...and if family planning
is important to society, the
school is the institution in
society that is set up to teach the
necessary courses to prepare
students for married life, which
many of them enter almost
immediately after graduation,”
Dr. Flanders said.
Dundee Mills, Inc. announced
plans today to build a water
pollution control facility which
will cost $454,000.
John T. Newton, vice presi
dent in charge of manu
facturing, said that the facility
should be in operation by Oct. 1.
Rast, Gregory and Dean of
Birmingham, Ala, was success
ful bidder on this contract. The
contract calls for a pumping
station, an acre and a half
aeration basin, a clarifier and a
sludge lagoon. The project,
when completed will be capable
of treating two million gallons
of effluent per day.
Also included in the quality
control facility, Mr. Newton
said, is a laboratory for con
tinual testing of the processed
effluent which empties into
Cabin Creek.
“This facility will take care of
the dye and finishing wastes
and the sanitary waste from
Dundee’s finishing division and
from Plant Number One,” Mr.
Newton said.
“We have had a difficult
problem to solve here,” Mr.
Newton said. “We have had
pilot studies with model plants
in operation for several years
before we hit upon the right
combination to suit our needs,”
he said.
Dundee’s water pollution
control facility has the approval
of the Georgia Water Quality
Control Board. R. S. (Rock)
Howard, executive director for
the Board, complimented Dun
dee for its water quality control
effort:
“We are highly pleased that
they (Dundee) are getting their
program into operation. It will
add a great deal to the improve
ment of a fine recreational area
in Cabin Creek and the High
Falls Lake.”
Mr. Newton pointed out that
most textile industry operations
(such as spinning and weaving)
have no water quality problems
at all. Water quality problems
come primarily from textile
plants which have a dyeing or
finishing operation such as
Dundee’s, he said.
