Readers Can See Georgia In March Digest The Peach state is the subject of a splendidly illustrated eight-page article in the March issue of Reader’s Digest. According to author Ronald Schiller, “Georgia is rich in agricul ture, a leading producer of textiles, aircraft, automo biles, marble and ceramic clay, and-with two thirds of its territory still covered by forests-accounts for more pulp and paper products than any other state in the union.” Roving Editor Schiller starts the reader on a tour of the state, beginning in the northern portion at the falls of Toccoa and Amicalola, Tallulah Gorge and the Chattooga River. Schiller notes that native handicrafts are plentiful in the area and that “$2.50 will buy you some “The simpler y° ur retum the less Block charges.” Block didn’t become America’s largest income tax preparer by charging high prices. For example, if you qualify for the short form, Block charges a very low price. And Block’s price includes your resident state return. H&R BLOCK’ THE INCOME TAX PEOPLE 506 E.

Phone 775-3749 NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY of the biggest, most delicious home-cooked meals you’ve ever eaten.” Atlanta, which was fea tured in the June 1975 Digest, is described as “eye popping” and “fantastic.” But Schiller reserves his richest phrases for Savan hah, which he calls “one of the three or four most graceful cities in America.” It contains, he says, “some of this country’s finest ex amples of 18th -and 19th - century architecture, rang ing from warm grayish-red brick Georgian and Federal structures with lacy iron balconies, to neo-classic temples of white stone and Victorian Gothic mansions built of wood.” Other stops in Schiller’s itinerary are the Okefenokee Swamp and the fabled Golden Isles. The article is accom panied by six full-color photographs of spectacular Georgian sights and will be seen by 42 million Ameri cans.
