BAILEY Athenian Writes Of Lovely Cities And Their Planning According to Agnes Rothery in House Beautiful, July 48, “Travel i one of the best, as well as one of the most agreeable, ways to stimulate. expand, and refine that power of evaluation by which you select the good from the bad. To be sure, you must work at it. Mere sightseeing won’t do. But if, as you travel, you consciously study the art, architecture, land scaping, handcraft that are ac knowledged to be fine, you will {ind yourself turning towards the best, appreciating it, singling it out from among the poor and mediocre.” On our recent motor trip to Michigan we had a birdseye view of past-war change and progress. Through villages, towns and cit ies we compared the human, physical and economic patterns. We saw good and bad, ugly and beautiful, contructive and de structive planning. Cornelia, Georgia has a new Lumite plant located a distance from its residential district. Elyria, Ohio boasts a new Gen eral Motors and Bendix Westing kouse at the end of the city limits, ; We drove through Columbus, Ohio, on one long street ' with traffic lights at ever corner and a speed limit of twenty five miles an hour, The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor was our destination For the July 4th Holiday Michael's Will Close All Day Monday July sth i Michael's Store Hours For Tuesday thru Saturday Including Wednesday Will Be 915 to 545 o and here we found ever stireet and avenue lined with ancient trees minus telephone poles and overhead wires. Green lawns, clean pavements, regulated park ing. Campus town with its at tractive shops like Hattie Carne gie fringed the University prop erty and looked live decorzative lace. This year, enrolled in the University System were 44,000 ‘students. ' The industries have not over crowded this section but have stretched out beyond Ann Arbor village to Willow Run. Kaiser ¥razier operates there and the University of Michigan now owns the air port. : > Cannot Athens unite its sac. tions, have a long time resident with deeproots study the overall ‘picture end plan step by step every new development? We are not building for today but as our borebears did, for the generations to come, Every part of Athens is in jeopardy by island zoning. In passing I would like to con gratulte Leathers & Sons on the location and architecture of their new plant. It is located near the Seaboard R. R on P!~~~ MOSELLE S. WESTON.

PAGE ONE-A Civitans Not To Meet Until July 12 Because of the Independsaca Day program Monday night im Sanford Stadium, the regular meeting of the Civitan Club has been postponed till Monday night, July 12, July The Fourth By Mrs. M. C. Southiwell, Chair man of Patriotic Anniversaries, Elijah Clarke Chapter, N, S, D. A. R. i July the fourth marks the an= niversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by Continental Congress in 1776. We, Americans, feel that it com memorates the birth of a great nation. It is the greatest secular holiday in the United States and is a_legal "holiday in all states, territories and possessions. From the time of the landing of the pilgrims our independence was inevitable “for coming events cast their shadows be-= tore.” Nothing important merely happens—it develops and Ba= con’s Rebellion in 1676, and the Mecklenburg Declaration in 1775 paved the way for the Declara tion. “The Declaration was the climax of many decades of thought, discussion and experi ence.’ As it stands today, it is substantially the work of Thom as Jefferson, ¥ Fortunately for this world and this nation particularly, the Declaration of Independence stands the test of time, for it was a true expression of the popular will of the people. They realized the gravity of ‘the step they were taking, and the vast ness of the responsibility they were assuming. They saw in the future a new nation born, commercial and political freedom and self-government. Some have questioned Thomas Jefferson’s generous statement, “All men are created equal.’”” Needless to say, all men are not created equal in ability. The un fortunate creature born an idiot, who must go through life in capable of thought is not born the equal of a normal, average man, and the average man is far from being the equal of the exceptional man of genius, such as Thomas Edison. What Jeffer son really meant was that men are born equal in their rights before the law. They are enfitl ed to equal opportunities, to ;“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” but they must prove that “they~can’ make use of these opportunities. ~ One of the major factors in the progress of the National Society, Daughters of the American Rev olution has been the consistent effort to extend opportuniies ta young and old for the develop= ment of character and ability. Such schools as Tamassee and Crossnore have provided the means for many to develop their ability. We recognize todey that many citizens now in places of greatest service to their country have risen from humble origins to these positions. It was through their courage to seize an oppor tunity and their faith in the American ideas of equality as stated in the Declaration of In dependence that made this pos sible.
