News at a Glance
ATLANTA, (GPS) — The 1956
“Slow Down and Live” campaign
is now officially underway in
Georgia and throughout the na
ticn. Sponsored by the National
Conference of State Safety Co¬
ordinators, the program continues
through Labor Day, .September 3.
Hawkinsville’s J. H. (Tommy)
Thompson, president of the Mo¬
tion Picture Theatre Owners and
Operators of Georgia, is chairman
of the state campaign, and John
W. Maloof, director of the Geor¬
gia Citizens Council and first vice
president of NCSSC, is state co
North Georgia
Set For Record
Tourist Trade
ATLANTA, (GPS) Most people
as a rule think of tourists as vis
itors from outside their home
state. But that isn’t necessarily
so, according to the Georgia De
partment of Commerce.
“Tourists from one section of
Georgia to another are just as
good as tourists from Yankee
land,” says Commerce Secretary
Scctt Candler.
And right now the Commerce
Department is directing particu¬
lar attention to North Georgia’s
recreational areas as an ideal
place for Georgians and out-of
staters alike to visit and stay
awhile.
One reason is that the natural
beauty of the picturesque Blue
Ridge Mountain region soon will
be at a seasonal peak. For ex¬
ample, the laurel usually is in
full bloom the latter part of May,
and the rhododendron in full
during the first week in June and
up until July. In fact, some peo¬
ple say it’s the season when North
Georgia is even more romantic
and breath-taking than “Paris In
the Spring.”
But no matter when one may
go, the Blude Ridge is a mecca
for vacationers, fishermen, hunt¬
ers and beauty-seekers frem early
Spring to late October, according
to its promoters.
Among the diversions are hoat
mg, swimming, fishing, hunting,
hiking, picnicking, camping, square
dancing, horseback riding, handi¬
crafts, summer theater, gold pan¬
ning and many other ways of re¬
laxing.
In addition to many commercial
resort developments, there are five !
well-equipped State Parks and 16
U.S. Forest Service recreation
areas within the high-altitude area
of more than 3,000 square miles.
Attractive hotels and lodges, mod¬
ern motels, vacaton cottages and
fishing camps are available
throughout the area. j
And so, with Georgia’s cool Blue
Ridge beckoning, the state’s
mountain area is anticipating a
record tourist season, not only
from out-of-tate visitors, but from
Georgians as well.
Wheeler Raps
Bradley Report
On Vet Benefits
Lashing out at the recent Brad¬
ley Commission report on veterans
benefits, Pete Wheeler, Director
of the Georgia Department of
Veterans Service, said this week
that “this commission of many
starred generals is again trying to
cram another economy report down
the throats of America in the at¬
tempt to balance the National bud¬
get at the expense of our veter¬
ans, their dependents and survi
ors.”
The first report by the Presi- ;
dent’s Commission on Veterans’ j
Pensions was handed to President i
Eisenhower this week ft r his ap¬
proval and ultimate submission to
Congress. The Commisvon, head¬
ed by General Omar Bradley, four
star former general officer of the?
Army, and others has recommend¬
ed that the Veterans Administra¬
tion benefits awarded to veterans
be gradually reduced and ulti¬
mately brought to a close.
Wheeler rapped report as be¬
ing “anefher Hoover Commission
in disguise, designed to slice up
the Veterans Administration into
many pieces seeking legal bene
fits under the program.
The Bradley report recommend¬
ed placing the G.I. Home Loan
program under the control of the
Federal Housing Administration;
placing all pensions and compen¬
sation under the direction of the
Secial Security Agency, and vir¬
tual elimination of the G.I. Insur-1
ance program. I
Wheeler stated that “he feels
sure that the Congress will see to
it that the Bradley- report meets
the same fate as the recent Hoov¬
er Report recommendations, most
of which was not acted on by Con¬
gress. We must never forget that
the care and treatment of disabled
war veterans is as much the total
erst of war as is the purchase of
planes ; ships and other weapons.”

Plymouth Fury
Paces Darlington

Race Fields
DARLINGTON, S. C—The new
Plymouth Fury will pace the two
major racing events at Darlington
(S.C.) Raceway this summer. Bob
Colvin, president of the South¬
land’s major speedway, announced
this week that the Chrysler pro- ”
'
duct had been , chosen , for . the , tra
ditional honor spot .... this year as:
the outstanding example of . the .,
motor . industry combining ... , horse
power and , safety; , . the , lessons
taught in major-league auto rac
The South Carolina speed plant
will hold only two racing events
this summer. The Indianapolis
big cars contest the Fourth Annu
plans are not as far advanced are
Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus,
Douglas, Moultrie and Savannah,
according to HHFA spokesmen.
The land to be used for the
Bainbridge project is a 6.3-acre
area covering two complete city
bh cks in which at least 79 per
cent of the dwellings are either
sub-standard or lack plumbing, it
was pointed out. The area is only
a block away from the courthouse.
Under the proposed redevelop¬
ment plan, the two-block area will
provide space for 15 store or com¬
mercial units ami 350 aut mobile
parking spaces. The Bainbridge
Housing Authority is the agency
in charge of carrying out the re¬
development program.
Preliminary plans, viewed and
discussed at a recent meeting
called by the Housing Authority,
and attended by Mayor Griffin, R.
V. Connerat, of the HHFA's Ur¬
ban Renefal Administration, and
other officials, include studies of
the expectations and proposed
zoning changes in streets, street
rights-of-way, the increase in
street width, changes in utilities
and also preliminary plans for the
land use.
Plans were first begun on the
project last summer, and the in¬
itial engineering work was started
in October. With surveying and
topographic work now underway,
the purchase of property and
clearing of land is scheduled in
the near future, Mayor Griffin
said.
Georgia’s U r b a n Redevelop¬
ment Law, passed by the 1955
General Assembly, gives each city
the power to clean out and rede¬
velop dilapidated areas which do
not fit into the over-all plans of
the city.
