Micky Mouse films were perhaps
the highlight of the afternoon.
The school and chapel choir,
composed of boys of many ages,
sang a group of Christmas carols
later in the afternoon, The silence
and rapt attention of all present
was Indicative of the beauty of
the ‘parformance.
During the return trip to Athens
one of the “40 and 8" members
said, “I wouldn't take anything
for this experience. They invited
me back, and don’t think I'm not
going to accept. I believe all of
us feel that way.”
When the cars bringing mem
bers of the Society back to Ath

away from St. Joseph’s, thir'v
nine happy little boys were stand
ing on the lawn, waving excitedly
to their newly-found friends, and
in someé cases, confidantes. Only
Rex. the canine pal of every boy
in the home, failed to restrain
himself, and he was racing madly
back and forth in froent of his
“charges.” displaying his unlimit

them.

¢ Swede Nilsen, 1006 East 26th
Street, Houston, Texas, now claims
he is the hottest hardware sales
man in town. Swede says that in |
order for a man to do a top-notch f
job of selling he has to really feel |
good, and Swede says he is now |
taking HADACOL, and believes |
aq‘e has never felt better, He found
at by taking HADACOL he
overcame deficiencies of Vita
mins 81, 82, Niacin and Iron.
Here is Mr. Nielsen’s statement:
“Before I started taking HADA
COL—that was a good bit ago—
-1 was just plain lazy. I felt groggy
and tired all the time, Seems like
it was hard for.me even to lift my
feet. When a man feels that way
he naturally doesn’t do good work.
What really gave me a bad time
was my eating habits—l would go
all day sometimes without a
square meal. What really was
gtrange was that while I was so
listless and sleepy during the day
-1 couldn’'t sleep at night. Imag
@e rolling and tossing and cat
napping all night long. But that's
all changed since I have been tak
ing HADACOL. I guess I've taken
from 6 to 10 bottles of HADACOL
+and believe you me, there is no
¢omparison now to the way I used
to feel—l * feel fine! HADACOL
certainly is wonderful. I get a
wonderfu! night’s sleep—and eat
—why I svwear I eat everything.in
sight. Yes, sir, HADACOL sure is
wonderful. And you can bet your
life I recommmend HADACOL to
all my friends.”
HADACOL is simply remark
able in the way it has helped folks
of all ages—yes, thousands of men,
women and children who have
been plagued with deficiencies of
Vitamins 81, 82, Niacin and Iron.
HADACQOL is that wonderful new
preparation promising blessed re
lief for stomach distress, nervous
ness, if caused by an upset stom
ach, vague aches and pains or a
general run-down condition when
they are due to such deficiencies.
HADACOL Attacks Real Cause
Remembeér, HADACOL is not a
quick-acting product that only at
tacks the symptoms of the mis
eries, but actually relieves the
real cause of pains and aches due
to such deficiencies—Yes, and-eon
tinued use of HADACOL helps
prevent the miseries from coming |
back.
The most important thing about !
HADACOL is that you get these |
precious Vitamins in liquid form, |
which means that they are quick- |
ly absorbed and dispatched to the |
*blood stream, ready to go right to |
work. HADACOL helps build up |
the hemoglobin content of your |
blood (when Iron is needed) to |
carry these precious Vitamins and |
Minerals to every body organ, yes, |
to every part of your body. |
HADACOL Can Help You f
Don't go through life putting up |
with a stomach that is easily up- |
set, that causes you gas pains,
heartburn, sour risings after |
meals, a stomach that will not di- |
gest food properly! _es, if due to |
lack of Vitamins 811, 82, Niacin |
and Iron, you can overcome the |
deficiencies which are causing
these miseries by taking HADA
COL, which contains those prec- |
ious Vitamins. |
Start taking HADACOL right
away and if you do not get the
results you expect your money
will be immediately refunded.
HADACOL costs only $1.25 for a |
trial size bottle. Large family or
hospital size, $3.50. There is only
one true and genuine HADACOL.

site of mineral springs, whence
flow 30,000,000 gallons of water
daily. Ruins of an old sugar mill
still stand as mute evidence of the
initiative and pioneering orignal
ty of the Spanish settlers of the
17th and 18th centuries,
Moreover, Ponce de Leon
Springs Hotel, recently opened to
the public, provides accommoda
tions -of rare charm and conven
ience.
Named After Explorer
Discovered by Ponce de Leon in
1513, the De Leon Springs area,
named after the famous Spanish
explorer, was wrested from the
Indians by the early Spanish set
tlers in 1570, and established the
first colony on what came to be
~ ’x,}."[;(:' ;;;;Aég k §
THE PANNER-HERALD. ATHENS, CEORGIA
known as Spring Garden Lake.
The English established plan
tations here during the period of
English occupation from 1763 to
1783. John James Audubon, the
famous naturalist, visited the
springs in 1832, It was fought
over and twice despoiled during
the Seminole and Civil Wars. And
in 1872, its modern period com
menced when the property was
acquired by Maj. George Norris.
It was Norris who planted 11,000
orange trees, built the first hotel,
and beautified the place generally.
The earlier record of De I.eon
Springs is veiled. Ponc de Leon
makes mention of it in his journal
as early as 1512, and the early
Spanish explorers are believed to
have ranged through the region
during this period.
The Spanish colonists entered
the St. Johns River in 1570 and
sailed up to the springs in the
vicinity of the headwaters, where
they drove; out the Calusa In
dians.
Clearing the acres of wild
‘orange trees, they planted sugar
cane brought from Puerto Rico,
and in the subsequent years erect
ed a sugar mill along with the
necessary brick vats,
Occupied by the Spanish for
nearly 200 years, the area was
ceded to England along with all
the rest of Florida in 1763 as ex
change payment for Cuba. The
region was retaken by the Indians
in 1783, and was again claimed
by the Spanish. It was purchased
by the United States in 1819 in
the $5,000,000 transaction which
brought Florida under American
control.
Name Changed
Gen. Zachary Taylor encamped
with his troops just below the
springs during the warfare against
the Seminoles in 1838 and shortly
afterward Thomas Starke pur
chased all the land grants in the
area. The sugar mill, which had
been burned down by the In
dians in 1835, was rebuilt by
Starke in 1840. Again during the
Civil War the property was de
stroyed by Union troops under
Colonel Noble.
In 1872, the property was ac
quired by Major Norris, and the
hotel was built, Norris, with his
brother, A. H. Norris, of New
York, built the Spring Garden
steamer, well known for many
years as providing the principal
means of transportation along the
St. Johns River. In 1885, the
brothers changed the name of
their hostelry to the De Soto
Springs Hotel, and in 1889 a sec
ond change produced the present
name of the Ponde de Leon
Springs Hotel.
In later years, the hotel prop
erty was acquired by C. M.
Greiner of Buffalo, N. Y. He
turned it over as a token of grat
itude to Walter Blanque, who had
BY ). R. WILLIAMS OUR BOARDING HOUSE
been caretaker for a number of
years. It was from Blanque that
the present owners bought the
property.
Restoration and construction
work recently done have involved
an outlay of more than SIOO,OOO.
Spring Enlarged
The Ponce de Leon Springs,
noted by Audubon as having a
diameter of 60 feet, have been en
larged until they now form a natu
ral pool approximately 250 feet in
diameter. This is a favorite bath
ing place and stands directly in
front of the Ponce de Leon Springs
Hotel. The sparkling mineral wa
ter, which boils up steadily from
the center of the pool, fias a con
stant temerature of degrees.
The springs have a depth of 110
feet and a daily flow of 30,000,000
gallons. :
For the fisherman, there is the |
St. Johns River. Along its course
are lagoons, deep shaded recesses,
connecting streams.
In these waters af?e some of the |
biggest black bass that ever tested t
a fisherman’s road. You will find
also 85 miles of fishing waters |
within a 10-mile radius of the ho
tel, including a score of lakes
where bass, crappy, bream,
speckled perch, and pickerel
abound.
Canoeing, boating, and sight
seeing by land and water are of
fered as diversions for visitors,
along with fishing, swimming,
shuffleboard, ping pong, golf, and
the usual recreational facilities.
Two jungle cruise boats ply the
nearby waterways, and an under

Wu’s statement, Rau appeared

Even Wu's determination to

not appear to distress them.
It was learned that the three

the message were not revealed,
but it was believed to contain a
plea not to break off talks and an
offer to come to Peiping if that

be stabilized in an industry if its
output is under price ceilings.
Board Statement
The nine-man wage board is
sued a statement last night declar
ing that while price-wage controls
are an essential part of the fight
against inflation they are-at best
a weak weapon.
It declared the best solution is
through such measures as full pro
duction, higher taxes, reduction of
federal non-defense spending and
tightened credit controls.
While the government went
ahead with these gradual steps,
demands continued in Congress
for faster and more sweeping ac
tion.
Senator Georgia (D.-Ga.) told a
reporter wage - price controls
should be issued at once. He called
for a rollback of prices to levels
of 30 to 45 days ago.
Senator O’Mahoney expressed a
similar view, saying the people are
ready for all-out controls.
The effect of imposing selective
controls, as in the case of auto
biles, is sure to be trouble be
cause they leave the way open for
prices and wages in related fields
to soar.”

Dairy cows need 12 to 15 gal

memorating the Civil War battles
which were fought around this
strategic area.
As a matter of fact, the history
of Harpers Ferry goes back far
beyond the Civil War. In 1734,
says the West Virginia Industrial
and Publicity Commission, Robert
Harper took a little-explored short
cut through the Blue Ridge Moun
tains and was so impressed with
the wild beauty of the land at the
junction of the Potomac and She
nandoah Rivers that he settled
here.
He established a ferry across the
Potomac River and the town that
grew around it was called She
nandoah Falls. The name was
changed to Harpers Ferry when
the town was incorporated in 1763.
Revolutionary Arsenal
Harpers Ferry’s military role
nrobably began when George
Washington selected the town as
the site for one of three govern
ment arsenals. The entire area
that is now Harpers Ferry became
a government reservation and the
Hall Rifle Works was established |
on the bank of the Shenandoah‘
near the present site of the new
highway bridge across the river.'
The first breech-loading rifles
made in America were produced
in the Hall factory.
Current plans call for the in
clusion of some 1500 acres of
land in the Harpers Ferry Na
tional Monument, ‘about half of
which would be in West Virginia,
the remainder in Maryland.
The Maryland section would lie
on the Maryland Heights, the
steep cliff across the Potomac
from Harpers Ferry. The West
Virginia portion would include
tracts on London Heights across
the Shenandoah from Harpers
Ferry and on Bolivar Heights west
of the town. Earthworks and gun
emplacements wused during the
Civil War remain in fairly good
condition in each of these areas.
The land would be developed
for récreational use by the Na
tional Park Service, with roads,
picnic areas, shelters, and marked
points of interest. A central ad
ministration building also is plan
ned.
Cvil War Engagements
The primary obstacle is the ac
quiring of necessary land for this
use. The National Park Service
will construct and maintain the
National Monument but the land
must be made available by pri
vate gift or state purchase. The
committee is preparing to request
an appropriation by the West Vir
ginia Legislature next January for
the purpose of acquiring the land.
During the Civil War, Harpers
Ferry was a strategic point de
sired by both Federal and Cen
federate armies. The town was
the #cene of numerous engage
ments. The bridge over the Poto
mac River was destroyed seven
times during the war.
The most famous Civil War en
gagement here occurred in Sep-!
tember, 1862. Gen. Thomas J.
(Stonewall) Jackson’s Confeder
ate troops swept through the

Shenandoah Valley and sur
rounded Harper’s Ferry, The Fed
eral gun empiacements on the
heights were insufficient to with
stand the attack and Jackson's
army captured Harpers Ferry and
took some 12,500 prisoners. After
this battle, Jackson rejoined Gen
eral Lee to take part in the Battle
of Antietam a few miles away.
- All of this has prompted Dr.
Henry T. McDonald, retired pres
ident of Storer College and emi
nent historian of the area, to call
Harpers Ferry a “focal point in
history.” Dr. McDonald is one of
the members of a committee re
cently appointed by Gov. Okey L.
Patterson to formulate plans
leading to establishing of the Har
pers Ferry National Monument.
Although the monument is still
in the future, Harpers Ferry of
fers a new treat for travelers.
United States Highway 340 has
been rerouted over a new bridge
across the Shenandoah, then fol
lows the south bank of the river
past the junction of rivers, then
into Virginia for a short distance
and across another new bridge
over the Potomac into Maryland.
This road, traveling at the base
of Loudon Heights, offers a brand
new view of Harpers Ferry and
several of its points of interest.
Jefferson’s Rock, Storer College,
John Brown’s “fort,” and the site
of the Hall Rifle Works, all are
clearly visible from across the
Shenandoah to even the most cas-~
ual visitor.
These interesting features of
Harpers Ferry invite closer ob
servation and may be reached
easily by turning off the new
highway onto the old route which
enters the center of Harpers Fer
ry.
