Alas, the carburetor. Decent and hard-working though it was, it just couldn't think. So every now and then it would do thoughtless little things. Like get everything dirty. Waste gas. Shamelessly pollute the air. Our new computer would never behave that way. In the first place, it's too educated to get every thing dirty. (It's always properly informed about changes in the speed, engine temperature and load. So it’s al ways properly informed about what's improper.) And it's too shrewd to waste gas. (Since it knows everything precisely, it can de cide everything precisely. And its decisions about how much fuel you need are so precise that you actually wind up burning less gas.l Finally, it’s too prudent to pollute the air. (No unburnt fuel around the engine means no unburrit fuel to evaporate in the atmosphere. Even the pollution Iromexhaust fumes is greatly reduced.) Just think. When you get a carburetor-less VW Squareback or VW Faslback, you not only become the proud possessor of a sound body. But ol a brilliant mind. BELL AUTO SALES Atl. Hwy. Gainesville, Ga.

Gold is discovered here every day of the week. But, the fact for which Dahlonega is best-known was the discovery of the precious metal in 1828. Soon this tiny hamlet became a boom-town, prospectors came in droves and the Federal Government operated a mint from 1837 until 1861. During this time more than a million gold pieces were minted, marked with a prominent “D”. Old newspaper stories tell of nuggets found in the middle of the town square after every hard rain. The local cemetery is said to have many “gold-filled tombs”. Several rich veins reportedly show color freely when graves are dug. Six blocks from the town square is the pioneer gold-panning museum, operated by the Chamber of Commerce. Visitors can pan for gold here and keep all they find. The cool mountain air makes it pleasant for gold panning year ’round. In the center of the town, the old courthouse has been restored by the Georgia Historical Commission and is open to the public daily. It was from the steps of this building that a man tried to restrain his fellow miners from leaving Dahlonega for the gold rush in California. “There’s millions in it” he claimed, pointing towards the surrounding mountains. Later, the quotation was immortalized by Mark Twain whose adaptation was, “Thar’s gold in them thar’ hills.” A few miles down the road is Auraria, now a ghost town, but once a thriving mining village. The old-timers say the town had as many people, as many banks, as many newspapers, robberies, murders, lawyers and gold strikes as the imagination of a ■ THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS - JUNE 13, 1968 story-teller could conjure up. Many of the old tales are recreated until this day by the few descendents who remain in Auraria. For an enjoyable day or weekend, try the gold-mining district of Georgia at Dahlonega and Auraria.
