TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
By Bernice McCullar
State Department of Education
THEY SPEAK SPANISH IN
FAIRYLAND — They’re speak
ing Spanish in Fairyland these
days. I know. I’ve just come from
there. Up on the very rim of
North Georgia, in the shadow of
Lookout Mountain, is an elemen
tary school called Fairyland. Icye
W. Fariss is principal. It’s in Wal
ker county, where Frank Leake
is superintendent. The children at
Fairyland put on a wonderful
end-of-year program to show
their parents how well they had
learned Spanish. Up there where
the purple rhododendrons grow
shoulder-high and there’s picture
postcard scenery outside every
window, there are lively learn
ings going on. They are backed to
the hilt by parents, too. They put
on festivals and raise money to
hire two extra teachers. They also
take turns mowing the school
house lawn!
THE LAWYER WHO
TEACHES ART — Up in North
Georgia, near Chattanooga, Ro
bert Caldwell, a lawyer, teaches
art to the school children. I saw
an exhibit of their art and his.
It was dynamic, exciting, ima
ginative. Most interesting picture
I saw was signed with the name
“Taylor Caldwell.” Same name as
the novelist. The picture was of
three petunias, with crosses in the
middle. It was his version of the
Crucifixion. Said he to his little
sister, “The two smaller ones on
the sides are the two thieves.”
(Some excellent art work is be
ing done by children in Sam
Wood’s Clarke county schools.
This has been on exhibit at the
Georgia Museum with artist La
mar Dodd talking with the child
ren about their work. We have
a state art consultant now. She
is Miss Olleen Williams.)
OUR NEW TV STATION —
Ed Crudup, former superinten
dent in Griffin and Rome who is
now our TV co-ordinator, tells
me that our new television sta
tion in the Waycross area will be
ready in September and will
reach 29 school systems in 26
counties. In these schools are
3,370 teachers and 90,503 pupils.
SCHOLARLY DOCUMENT —
There fell into my hands recent
ly a most scholarly and interest
ing book about education in
Georgia. It is a doctoral disser
tation done by Marion Jennings
Rice of the University staff. Its
title; Georgia School Law: A
Case Study Based on the De
cisions of the Georgia Supreme
Court and Court of Appeals.
I’LL BE BACK TOMORROW—
One of the best school superin
tendents I know has not the sha
dow of help in his office. He
makes out all the checks, routes
the buses, keeps all the records,
and when he has to come to At
lanta on school business, he has
to post a notice on the door,
“Gone to the State Department
•of Education. Back tomorrow.”
How can any local school board
expect a superintendent to deve
lop a fine, modern program of
education if he has to double as
secretary, clerk, bookkeeper and
janitor? That’s poor economy, if
you ask me.
LOOK WHAT COLLEGE
PAYS- — NEA Research bulletin
says that a 4 year college course
costs $6200, but is worth $178,000.
That is the difference in ho*w
much more a college graduate
earns during his lifetime than a
high school graduate.
THE BUDGET GOES UP
The Department of Education
presented the 1961-62 budget to
the State Board on May 25, sub
ject to approval by the Governor.
The new budget is 214 million;
the old budget (1960-61) was 198
million. The Required Local Ef
fort (sometimes called the
“chargeback”) went up. The in
crease of $15,667,160 was tagged
for these items:
Salaries of teachers (S3OO more
and 700 more teachers) — sll,-
900,000.
Current financing — $250,000.
System-wide services (superin
tendents, principals, visiting
teachers, curriculum directors,
travel) — $250,000.
Maintenance and Operation and
Sick Leave — $1,200,000.
Bus Drivers’ Salaries — $1,000,-
000.
Textbooks — $105,000.
Operation of Area Trade
Schools — $315,000.
State Schools for the Deaf and
Blind — $104,000.
Scholarship Program for Fu
ture Teachers — $150,000.
Educational Television — $96,-
636.
INTRODUCING GRANDAD —
Jimmy Peters. Bth grader down
at Nashville, had the honor of
introducing his grandfather.
Chairman James S. Peters of the
State Board of Education, when
Mr. Peters went down from his
home at Manchester to talk at the
end-of-school exercises for the Bth
grade at Nashville. Jimmy is Mr.
Peter's only grandson. Dr. Claude
Purcell, hearing about the intro
duction, wrote Jimmy, “Be sure
to say we thing your granddaddy
is the best state board chairman
in the nation.”
BIRTHDAY PARTY — Mrs.
Bruce Shaefer, of Toccoa, now
the only woman on the 10-mem
ber State Board of Education,
left after the Late May board
meeting for Washington to attend
President Kennedy’s birthday
party and the meeting of the exe
cutive committe of the National
Democratic Committee. She is the
only Georgian ever to have serv
ed on this small group of the Na
tional Committee.
WHAT A WISE MAN SAID —
One of the real thinkers of our
time, gives this advice to intelli
gent people. Are you one? “This
is a world in which each of us,
knowing his limitations, knowing
the evils of superficialities and
terrors of fatique, will have to
cling to what is close to him,
to what he knows, to what he
can do, to his friends, and his
traditions and his love, lest he
be dissolved in universal con
fusion and know nothing and love
nothing. We can help because
we can love one another. Let
us love and be wise. Let us not
hallow our ignorance. Let us do
what we can, where we are.”
EFFECTS OF TELEVISION
The average child in the U. S.
from ages 3 to 16 spends as
much time watching television
as he does in school. This is
one of the conclusions brought
out in a book published recent
ly titled. Television in the Lives
of Our Children. The authors of
this book recommend that the
federal government investigate
the effects of TV programing
on taste, family solidarity, and
.mental health.
NEW PLAN FOR LUNCH
MONEY? The Chief State School
Officers are interested in a bill
before Congress that would dis
tribute school lunch money on
the basis of the number of child
ren who actually eat lunch in the
schoolroom instead of the num
ber enrolled in school. Be for it.
Georgia would get more money
that way.
Opening Date for
1961 Leaf Auctions
To Be Set July 5
ATLANTA — Agriculture Com
missioner Phil Campbell will
meet with the Tobacco Advisory
Board at Macon July 5 to fix
the date when 34,000 Georgia
growers can start marketing
their product.
Campbell, who receives recom
mendations from the board after
it makes a survey of growing
conditions, also will stipulate the
number of days that sales can be
made. Florida auction dates, as
usual, are expected to coincide
with those of Georgia.
“The members of the board
will make a survey of all tobac
co growing counties within three
or four days before the meeting
in Macon,” Campbell said after a
preliminary meeting of the group
in his office Tuesday. “This is
necessary because weather condi
tions cause such a variance.”
This is the sixth year that the
Tobacco Advisory Board has
functioned. Last year sales of
Georgia-Florida flue-cured tobac
co totaled $102.8 million, an all
time high.
The market opened last year
on July 28 and there were 19 full
days of sale before the buyers
moved north to the Carolinas.
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture will limit the price
support of flue-cured tobacco to
the Georgia-Florida market again
this year. In other states grade
price supports will be 6 cents a
pound higher for tied tobacco.
The differential is 10 per cent
of the support level rounded to
the nearest whole cent. In recent
years the diffenential has been
5 cents a pound.
Hodges To Head
Delegation To
NEA Convention
Carl V. Hodges, president,
Georgia Education Association,
will head the GEA Elelegation to
the NEA Convention, Atlanta
City, N. J., June 25-30.
Some 150 GEA members have
been named to serve with the
more than 5000 delegates to the
convention. President Hodges is
superintendent of Fitzgerald
City Schools and a former princi
pal of Blackshear High School.
Theme for the convention is “A
Charge to Keep.” NEA President
Clarice Kline, a Wisconsin class
room teacher, together with the
NEA Staff, has planned an excel
lent professional program around
the theme. Approximately 20,-
000 classroom teachers and ad
ministrators are expected to
spend the convention week discus
sing school finance, school pub
lic relations, curriculum, college
training, certification, and other
topics of interest to the profes
sion.

New Car Registrations Dropped
Nine-Percent In Georgia In
First Four Months of '6l
ATLANTA — Total new car
registrations in Georgia dropped
9 percent in the first four
months of 1961, while the regis
tration of new compact cars
gained 8.7 percent, the Petro
leum Council of Georgia has re
ported.
The Council reported that, ac
cording to the latest official state
records available, total new car
registrations, including compacts,
were less in April 1961 than for
the same month last year.
In the first four months of this
year the registration of all new
cars was 3,814 less than for the
same period a year ago, however
for the same comparative period
the registration of new compacts
gained 2,204.
Compact sales through April
this year in Georgia accounted
for 39.2 percent of total new car
sales, a gain of 8.7 percent over
the 30.5 percent of new car sales
through April of 1960.
Domestic compact sales in the
state continue to make gains also
on the total compact market. In
the first four months of 1961
there were 1,688 fewer foreign
cars sold in Georgia than in the
like period for 1960.
Petroleum industry spokesmen
long have maintained that the
high cost of operating an auto
mobile has boosted the sale of
compacts. The industry contends
the high gasoline tax is a major
factor in the operating costs of
an automobile.
Gasoline tax in Georgia now is
11.2 cents per gallon, which a
mounts to a sales tax of more
than 50 percent.
Boy Scout Camp
Near Brunswick
Opens June 18th
The Boy Scout summer camp,
“Camp Tolochee,” will be open
for four weeks, June 18 through
July 15th. The Camp is on Little
Blythe Island, located in Glynn
County, near Brunswick, Georgia.
Rod Jonas, camp director as
sures the Scouts a full four
weeks of Scouting adventure in
cluding nature, Scoutcraft, handi
craft, Indian Lore, rowing, ca
noeing, swimming, life-saving,
mosk e et, marksmanship, and
archery.
The program is so arranged
that boys have an excellent op
portunity to qualify in the vari
ous requirments of the advance
ment program of the Boy Scouts
of America. Early reservations
will assure the Scout Troop of
the week of their choice. Each
Scout should make reservations
through their Scoutmaster, in
order to select their Troops
choice week.
Two plans are available to
Scout units to attend Camp Tolo
chee. Plan “A” The Troop comes
under its’ own full-time adult
leadership (21 years or more).
Cost is $14.50 per boy per week.
Plan “B": The troop comes with
out leadership, and the Camp
provides a full time, provisional
Scoutmaster. Cost is $16.50 per
boy per week.
The Council President, Rev.
Frank Nalls, speaking for the
Executive Board of the Okefe
nokee Area Council, says the
Council Camp will be rated as
an “A” camp, by the National
Camping Committee, which will
assure each Scout a safety-first
camp with the best recommend
ed program offered.
Cant Afford Not To
Fertilize Pastures
TIFTON, GA. — “Can you af
ford to fertilize improved pas
tures?”
“When you consider the costs
of establishing improved pastures,
you cannot afford not to fertilize
them!”
Dr. Glenn W. Burton, nation
ally known forage scientist at
Georgia’s Coastal Plains Experi
ment Station and winner of the
John Scott Award for his work
on Coastal Bermudagrass, recent
ly asked and answered that
question.
He should know. By proper
fertilization, his team of forage
specialists increased beef produc
tion 425 lbs. (worth S3O net pro
fit) per acre — an increase
worth $1,560 net profit on a 50-
acre operation at $3,000 net pro
fit on a 100-acre operation.
In a 3-year grazing test on
Coastal Bermudagrass, they found
this:
Cattle on non-fertilized pas
tures gained 259 lbs. per acre per
year.
Cattle on fertilized pastures,
receiving 200 lbs. nitrogen and
500 lbs. 0-10-20 annually, gained
685 lbs. per acre per year.
This means approximately $35
worth of fertilizer gave an addi
tional 425 lbs. of liveweight gain.
At the average price for steers,
such increase would mean $80.75
more gross income per acre.
TOUR OF THE WEEK
Georgia Department of Commerce
OKEFENOKEE SWAMP PARK-
LAND OF THE TREMBLING EARTH
Murky waters mirror the giant cypresses and marsh flora. A quiet
ness prevails in this cavernous swamp, except for the occasional scream
of a frightened waterfowl.
Okefenokee Swamp Park, acclaimed as the most unique and
beautiful natural wonderland of America, embraces 700 square miles
of marshes, dark lakes and forested islands. Penetrating deeply into
Georgia’s southland areas, this prehistoric jungle is a sanctuary for
animal and plant life, many of which are extinct except in this region.
Whether viewing this moss-draped wonderland from a scenic boat
tour, from the 75-foot observation tower or by strolling down the
wilderness walkways, you will find Okefenokee Swamp one of the most
fascinating adventures in natural wildlife.
Hours can be spent going through the Museum and gift shop which
harbor relics and priceless remnants of the Land of the Trembling
Earth. A complete collection of native and exotic reptiles are on display
at the serpentarium and alligator pools. Wildlife lectures and shows are
presented daily at the Park. A picnicking area with all the facilities,
plus a snack bar, are available for those who want to make a day of it.
Okefenokee Swamp Park is located on U.S. 1 and U.S. 23, turning
onto the Vereen Bell Memorial Highway 8 miles south of W r aycross.
The Park is open every day in the year, from 8 a.m. until sunset. Ad
mission rates are $1.50 for adults and 55 cents for children. Special
admission privileges are given to educational groups.
During the vacation months ahead, plan your tour to the Okefenokee
Swamp Park for a new panorama of scenic beauty.

Feeder Calf Sales
Are Scheduled for
August, September
Dates and places for this year’s
feeder calf sales, which are gain
ing popularity with both sellers
and buyers in Georgia, have been
set by the Georgia Feeder Calf
Sales Committee.
Eight sales have been schedul
ed, compared with only five last
year, according to Orville Sweet,
Extension animal husbandman of
the University of Georgia College
of Agriculture.
Tentative places and dates for
sales announced by Joe Woodruff,
chairman of the committee, are:
Americus, August 29; Valdosta,
August 30; Sylvania, August 31,
Washington, September 12; Thom
aston, September 13; Macon, Sep
tember 14; LaFayette, September
26; Covington, September 27.
These sales bring together
large lots of feeder calves, mak
ing the sale more convenient for
both buyer and seller, Mr. Sweet
explained.
Advantages of selling cattle
through these sales was pointed
up last year, when they sold for
an average of two dollars per
hundredweight higher than those
of the same grade in the same
location during the same week.
A total of 2,875 calves were
sold in five sales last year. The
number is expected to increase
sharply this year, not only be
cause of three additional sales
but also because of larger num
bers at each sale, Mr. Sweet said.
All calves sold .are field inspect
ed by members of the area sale
committee. Then they are weigh
ed, identified and graded accord
ing to USDA standards before be
ing grouped into lots.
There are 198 local school sys
tems in Georgia, with 1,930
schools.
