Four Mosiac piciures depicting Indian life were presented 10 the Georgia
Department of State Parks to be placed in the new museum at Kolomoki Mounds
and were on display at the dedication ceremony on July 21,
The pictures were given by Mry. Dudley H. McDowell, in memory of her
husband, the late Mr. McDowell, who had made the mosiacs as a hobby, forming
the figures with Indian arrowheads found in Early County, and arranging them
on black velvet. Three of the mosiacs were completed by Mr. McDowell several
years ago, those of a Muscogee Indian chief, another of a deer in flight and a
smaller picture of an Indian tepee with figures of an Indian family around the
front of the tepee.
The last picture was not finished at the time of Mr. McDowell’s death, tho*
90 percent completed, and Mrs. McDowell finished the drawing of the two Indian
braves, paddling a conoe up a stream.
Supt. Cecil Hall, Superintendent of Kolomoki State Park, and_Mrs. McDowell
stand by the last picture, Mrs. McDowell is holding the bronze plaque that will be
placed under the Indian Chief mosiac.
During the tour of the museum, conducted by Supt. Hall, following the dedi
cation, this group of pictures brought forth much favorable comment, and attracted
more attention than any other one item in the museum,

Miss Georgia
Cables Father
Good News
Pretty, blonde Mary Maude
Walker sent a cable to her
father in Viet Nam Sunday. It
said, in effect, that his daughter
is the new Miss Georgia.
The tall (5'9"), shapely (36-
22-36) Miss Walker won the
title Saturday night as the rep
resentative of Tifton.
“I still feel like I'm in a
dream,” she told a post-mid
night news conference. But she
said one of her first acts would
be ‘to cable the news to her
father, “Air Force Col. €. J.
Walker, a pilot in Viet Nam.,
“He wanted to be here,” she
said, “But it was impossible.
I have seen my father for
about only four days in the past
two or three years.”
The senior at Georgia South
ern College said she was more
interested in education than in
a career in show business or
modeling.
Education is somethig you
can grow with, It stays with
you the rest of your life. You
cannot always be a model,” she
said, adding that she would like
to teach exceptional children.
She said she had no steady
boyfriend. “My education comes
first,”” she said.
Miss Augusta, Louisa Tura
bull, was first runnerup in the
pageant and Miss Waycross,
Carol Wynn Carswell, was next:
Americans will smoke 536-
billion cigarettes this year, for

Sleep is apparently eluding
more and more people, as wit
ness the fact that sales of sleep

If you live to be 80 years old,
you will have spent well over a
quarter of a million hours in bed.
Sleep is the restful state that
allows the human system to re.
charge after the day's effort.
The average person changes po
sition 20 to 50 or more times
during a night's sack time.
Sleeplessness isn't unique to
super-charged, moderns, however,
the early Romans wooed sleep
in adult-sized cradles, rocked by
slaves,
