increase, points out extension

Parks Director Horace G. Cald
well, who has been praised in
many quarters for the improve
ments he has made in the parks
system during the present admini
stration, still isn’t satisfied with
the progress being made. He
thinks the state should spend even
more money to increase park fa
cilities.
"Parks are one of the greatest
investments we have in Georgia,’’
the director said in a recent
speech before the Cordele Lions
Club. But, he added:
“Never have we had more than
$200,000 at one time to spend on
Georgia’s parks and you can’t
do much with that.”

for pledging $2.3-million in bonds
to his department for an improve
ment program at 16 of the state’s
37 parks.
The director said that 25 years
ago parks were only meant for
family picnics, but today they
provide economic benefits as well
as recreation and a place to spend
leisure time.
Pointing out that the average
tent camper spends at least $7.50
a day, Caldwell said so far this
year some 50,000 persons have
camped in Georgia’s camping
areas.
Comparing Georgia’s parks sys
tem with those of other states,
he said: “Kentucky was given
S2O-million to spend on their state
parks and they were in better
shape than ours to begin with. I
want our parks to be third or
fourth, not 48th or 49th.”
