Artists, Sculptors Visited
Stone Mountain This Week
Atlanta, Ga. — Six internationally
known figures in the world of are
will be in Atlanta this week to help
select a sculptor for a perpetual mem
orial to the Confederacy on historic
Stone Mountain.
Lamar Dodd, Chairman of the Stone
Mountain Memorial Sculptor Advis
ory Committee announced that the
six jurors will evanluate models of
proposed memorials executed by nine
famous sculptors. The artists will be
identified with public unveiling later
this month of the models on which
they have worked for more than a
year,
The memorial may be completion
or replacement of the long unfinished, |
mammoth carving of Confederate!
generals on the nearly shee face of
the mountain or it may take another
form. A recommendation by the com
mittee on the selection of sculptor
and memorial will be submitted to the
Stone Mountain Memorial Association
for final decision.
On the jury committee, in addition
to Chairman Dodd, who heads the
art deportment of the University of
Georgia, Athens, are: Lloyd Goodrich,
director, Whitney Museum of Ameri
can Art, New York; Paul Manship,
sculptor, New York; Henry Marceau,
Philadelphia Museum of Art; John
Walker, director, National Gallery of
Art, Washington; and William Zorach,
sculptor, Brooklyn.
“Each of the jurors occupies in his
own right a unique position in the
field of art in our nation, and indeed
in the world,” Mr. Dodd said. “Not
only are they will informed on art
objects, but they also know the
meaning of monuments and their
rightful place in a society.”
Matt L. McWhorter of Atlanta,
chairman of the seven-man board of
commissioners of the Stone Mountain
Memorial Association, said that work
on a new monument probably will get
under way early in 1963.
This will be the third attempt to
create a memorial to the Confederacy,
and the first effort since the 1920'5.
Gutzen Borglum partially executed
one great carving, which was re
placed by another, carved by Augus
tus Lukeman, but abondoned before
completion because of lack of funds.
“This effort will succeed,” Mr. Mc-
Whorter stated noting that the park
and the recreational-educational facili
ties now being created about the
mountain constitute “a wide and utili
tarian public attraction.” and that
“we now have a suitable financial
structure on which to build.”
Since formulation of park plans by
the association established in 1958 un
der special legislation, a widely known
consultant in the resort field has es
timated that by 1965, the new Stone
Mountain Memorial Park will attract
up to 5,000,000 visitors a year,
In addition to the proposed monu
ment, the park will boast facilities in
cluding a restaurant and nine-story ob
servaton tower atop the bald, awesome
800-foot granite mountain; the world's
largest cable-car skylift—to the moun
tain summit; a 435-acre lake; marina;
restored plantation; a mesuem, a sce
nic railroad (already in operation)
circling the mountain base and featur
ing a replica of “The General,” fa
mous Civil War locomotive, plus an
cient-vintage restored railroad coaches
restored plantation; a mesuem, a sec
zoo; and public camp ground, picnic
, and bridle paths.

| Time was when gout was thought
'to be a disease of kings and royalty
who lived high, drank port wine and
ate sweetbread. Today we know that
anybody can have gout.
| The disease is an inherited distur
'bance of the body's handling of uric
‘acid. In one study seventy-five per
{cent of the persons with gout had an
jcestors or relatives who also suffered
with it. The disease often skips a
generation but studies indicate that
|unaffected relatives of gouty patients
|often have a higher-than-average
' level of uric acid in their blood,
| Uric acid is one of the end products
‘of the digestion of prines and is nor
'mally excreted from the body. In pa-l‘
tients with gout, it collects in the|
' blood. There it combines with sodium
or salt to form sodium urate and thisl
:is deposited chiefly in the joints, bones :
‘and bursae, |
~ Since gout can be inherited and as- |
sects more males than females, some |
physicians recommend that al] male |
children of gouty patients be check- '
ed periodically for elevated uric acid |
in the blood. Only a small percentagel
of young males with the elevtion will
eventually develop gout. On the others
nand, the majority of gouty patients
will be derived from this group. Con
sequently a diet low in foods con
taining much purine may lessen his
chances of developing the disease.
Some foods high in purine content
are organ meats (liver, kidney, sweet
breads) and sardines. Milk. eggs,
cheese, nuts, all fruits and green
vegeiables are low in purine content.
Gout occurs mcst often in the thir
ties. It may occur, however, as early
as the second decade or as late as
the seventh. Any or all joints may be

Westerners What
Ga. Has To Offer
Atlanta, (GPS) — Gov. Ernest Van
diver and Gov.-Nominate Carl E.
Sanders, who headed a delegation of
some 40 Georgia businessmen and
public officials on a three-day indus
iry-hunting expedition, are back
home “highly encouraged” over Geor
gia's prospects for the future,
Both the present governor and the
next governor did a good job of “sell
ing Georgia” to Westerners, according

j particularly the big toe. are favored.
| The digease is characterized by acute
| attacks of excruciatingly painful and
! inflamed joints followed by intervals
| of complete well-being. A blow to the
| joint, expbsure to cold, acute infection,
| surgery, exposure to some drugs, sud
’den changes in barometric pressure
often usher in an attack.
Atiacks o“ten occur several hours
|after midricht. The patient awakens
. with -a red. swollen, painful joint.
| The acute attack may last several
idays or weeks and kidney colic may
| accompany it. The colic caused by
urate stones in the kidney.
? Treatment for an acute attack of
' gout includes drues that depress the
inflammation in the affected joints
and promote excretion of uric acid.
During the interval when the disease
is inactive, the patient may continue
to take drugs to aid the excretion of :
uric acid and avoid foods high in,
purines. . |
Gout may become chronic and

gout may cripple. The disease is a
form of arthritis. ‘
Doc MAG Says: |
1. Gout, once thought to be the rich
man’s disease, is no longer considered
so. It can strike anybody, but usually
occurs in males in middle age. A
hereditary factor is apparent in a
large number of cases.
2. If you have gout, do all you can
to avoid attacks as repeated attacks
may lead to permanent crippling.

four years of Gov. Vandiver's admin

gia's state government from the gar

“Unneeded and wasteful boards and
burcaus have been eliminated. Cog.-
ly, old-fashioned methods have been
cast aside and replaced with efficient
time-saving techniques which cost
less in taxpayers’ dollars.”

”OW engmas, suspensions, f rames
and narrower front ends show their
stuff on Mexico’s tough Baja Run!
With months of proving-ground tests under
their belts, why did new Chevrolet trucks take
on the rugged Baja (bah’hah) Peninsula?
'This is the toughest line of trucks Chevrolet
has ever built. Sending them over the most
punishing terrain in North America (a road
totally unlike the fine highways on the Mexican
main?,and) was double proof of this fact.
Frames, engines, susyensnon systems were sub
jected to stresses far greater than trucks
normallir\ encounter., You can be sure that
trucks that can handle this kind of beating can
handle any kind of work.

He strongly urged the California
industrialists to consider Georgia in
any plans for expansion.
The Governor predicted that Geor
gia's personal income this year will
exceed $7-billion for the first time.
He based it on this: “During the first
seven months of the year our rate of
advance over last year amounted to
7.7 per cent, compared to the national
rate of 6.4 per cent.”
Pointing to the fact that 258 new
industries and industrial expansions
were recorded in Georgia last year,
Vandiver said the primary reason was
the maintenance of “a good business
climate in which industry can pros
per and its emvloyees can live profit
ably in peace and contentment.”
A fool and his money have a lot of
friends he never laid eyes on beforg.
