Box 12S, Nahunta, Ga^ Thursday, October 25, 1962 OFFICIAL ORGAN BtANTUT COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Sunday Journal To Publish Best of Fifty The Best of Fifty Years will be published Oct. 28 by The Sunday Atlanta Journal and Constitution Magazine. The best of 50 will be going some with this Magazine which pioneered the field of the locally edited newspaper maga zine over fifty years ago with Angus Perkerson, now retired, as editor. This magazine which began with the best, set the pattern for other newspapers all over the country. Now hundreds have a staff devoted to the locally edited magazine. Among the best of the early staff members who cut journalistic teeth in the old Journal Magazine was Margaret Mitchell, then called Peggy. This commemorative issue will con tain the story she wrote in the April 1, 1923 issue. This girl reporter, destined to become one of the world’s most famous writers because of her novel, ’’Gone With The Wind,” interviewed five prominent At lantans to get their ideas for suc cess, among them was the late Ben Massell. She quoted this real estate tycoon as saying, “When I hear a man say proud ly, ‘I don’t owe a dollar’, I haven’t much use for him”. Students See Gyroscope in Science Show 450 Nahunta High School stu dents saw an unusual demonstra tion of gyroscopic principles es sential to space travel when Gen eral Motors educational science show, Previews of Progress, was presented at the school October 17. Designed to stimulate more student interest in scientific and engineering careers, the 45-minu te stage presentation was narrat ed in non-technical language by Mike Krawcheck and Bruce Sch roffel of General Motors Public Relations Staff. The gyroscope demonstration in the show featured an attempt by a Nahunta student at the school, to manipulate an ordinary looking suitcase. A small gyro scope, whirling at 13,000 revolu tions per minute inside the suit case, made this seemingly simple task difficult — to the delight of the audience. The “misbehaving” suitcase served to illustrate how gyro scopes are used to indicate direc tion and to safely guide ships, planes and missies along prede termined courses. Among other highlights in the non-commercial show were a model car powered by sunlight, a roaring jet engine and a vehicle known as a Ground Effect Ma chine that skims over land or water on a cushion of air. The two-man team that appear ed here is one of seven Previews teams now touring the country. Nearly two-million students and adults are scheduled to see the show this year.
