GEORGIA HERITAGE — A veteran of the American Revolu tion and Indian wars settled in northeast Georgia in 1784. The home he built in the Tugaloo River valley (on present-day U.S. 123 six miles east of Toccoa) is still standing, along with addi tions built later at both ends. The builder of the home was Ma jor Jesse Walton, who aptly named it “Traveler’s Rest.” The massive doors and walls are dramatic evidence to today’s tour ists of the typical protection needed on the frontier, when a home might have to be turned into a fort if Indians went on the warpath. Walton was killed by Indians in 1789; legend says that he held off an attack by redmen for four days before the Indian victory. Later Walton’s house passed into the hands of Devereaux Jarrett, who became one of the wealthiest and most successful businessmen and planters in North Georgia. He en larged the house and opened Traveler’s Rest to the public as * stagecoach inn, trading post, and post office. As Jarrett Manor it became well-known for hospitality, comfort, and for the fa- Inous people who stayed there.

You say, “yes, it would help our overall economy by adding new jobs and new money. But new industries are hard to find.” Before we set our sights alto gether on “new” industry, may be we should take stock of what we have and see if we are mak ing the most of it. The National Plant Food In stitute’s Southern Office says the use of enough fertilizer to meet just the minimum fertilizer recommendations on all acres of cultivated and pasture land would raise the agricultural in come of the average Southern county well over a half million dollars a year. This would be “new” money in the hands of the counties’ farmers, most of which would be spent locally for food, clothing, new equip ment, cars, and appliances — and would provide an annual payroll in excess of a half mil lion dollars a year — from the soil. How does one go about bring ing an industry like this to his county? Most counties start with a planning committee and community meetings. Farmers are encouraged to have their soil tested for nutrients, and to follow through with the fertil izer and other management prac tices recommended by the local agricultural leaders. Crop yields in all southern counties can be substantially and profitably in creased by getting more people to use these proven and recom mended practices. Success requires the efforts of everyone, but in return every one stands to benefit. Get in touch with your county agricul tural agent. If a program is un- , , v?v ; n y Our county, support it. If none is planned. USDA 'Ready to Go Ahead' with Watershed Recreational Projects Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman said this week the U. S Department of Agriculture was “rea dy to go ahead’’ with public recre ational developments in watershed projects as authorized by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962 USDA was authorized to help cre ate, enlarge, or improve bodies of water within watershed projects to provide for a full range of water based sports, and to assist in devel oping recreational areas bordering the water. “These developments will help meet the growing demand for new outdoor recreational facilities, and at the same time broaden the scope and local benefits of watershed pro jects,” Secretary Freeman said. The recreational facilities wouk lure outsiders to the area, and wouk provide the type recreation that in dustrialists seek for their employee: in searching for new plant sites, C W. Chapman, State Conservationist of the Soil Conservation Service ex plained. On nearby land, private andowners could develop supporting recreational facilities, such as week end or summer guest cottages and hunting preserves. The development would bring town and country interests closer together, and thereby promote soil and water conservation activities which pro tect and improve farm and ranch lands, according to SCS. This, in turn, would contribute to an im proved agricultural economy. ‘ “The Department is ready to help local watershed sponsors develop the e recreational areas,” Secretary Freeman pointed out. Funds are available under USDA’s regular $60.6 million watershed ap propriation for fiscal year 1953. Construction could begin in the first of these projects early in 1963. USDA was authorized to bear up to 50 percent of the cost of (1) land, easements and right-of-way, (2) con struction, and (3) minimum basic facilities needed for public access to and use of the recreational area. This cost-sharing and technical help would be provided through the Soil Conservation Service, which ha leadership for USDA’s watershed program. Land bordering the water could be developed for picnicking, camp ing, hunting, or other outdoor uses. SCS would provide local sponsors with funds to cover up to half the land costs, and also would help lo cal spon ;ors pay for the land inun dated for recreational purposes. Minimum basic facilities which could be cost-shared include: (1) boat docks and ramps, (2) beach de velopment, (3) picnic tables and fire places, <4) parking lots, (5) public water supply, (6) sanitary facilities, including toilets and garbage dispo sal, (7) power facilities, (8) plant ings and other shoreline or area im provements, (9) roads and trails, and (10) other similar or related facilities needed for public health, safety, access to, and use of the re creational area. Local sponsors could charge an admission fee to meet their annual operating and maintenance costs. Watershed residents also would de rive other benefits from the develop ment. “There has been a dramatic in crease in the Nation’s need for addi tional recreation areas during the past decade,” Secretary Freeman said. “City dwellers and suburban ites are seeking the outdoors as nev er before.” “At present, some 62 million acres of privately-owned land are being used for recreation. Estimates are that by 1980 we will need 85 million acres for this purpose. Watershed projects can go a long way in help ing fulfill this need.” How Good Were The Old Days? Five pounds of sugar for 27 cents! Butter 39 cents, 10 cents a quart for milk, pork chops at 23 cents a pound and a peck of potatoes for 33 cents! Remember these prices? Housewives in Atlanta were paying those prices in most markets in the spring of 1913. That’s the year the Department of Labor was establish ed and the Department, then as now, priced these foods and other items bought by workers’ families every month. Today, as the Department cele brates its 50th Anniversary, price are much higher, of course. Just last fall the average national price for pork chops was 84 cents a pound, 30 cents for butter, 23 cents a quart for milk, 61 cents for 10 pounds of potatoes (about 5 pounds less than a peek* and 57 cents for 5 pounds of sugar. Before nostalgia overtakes you, however, look at wages then and now, based on figures also available from the Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics In May, 1913, the inion wage scale for bricklayers was 45 cents an hour in Atlanta. Union rate for hod carriers was 23 cents and union carpenters were getting 40 cents. The last BLS survey of these wage scales in January, 1963, showed th ese rates: Bricklayers $4.30 an hour, building laborers $2.20, and carpen ters $3.65. These figures come from two of the many statistical programs which the Bureau of l abor Statistics con ducts. One major purpose of all th ese programs is to help the Depart ment see how well it is carrying out the directive from the Congress that established the Department of Labor 50 years ago on March 4, 1913: “To foster, promote and develop tire welfare of the wage earners of the United States. BOOK REVIEW 'The Living Sea' Is Narrative of Undersea Search One of the most fascinating true adventure stories of our time. The Living Sea, by Captain Jacques-Yve r Cousteau, is the Book-of-the-Month jClub Selection for May. (Published by Harper and Row.) Many readers will remember Cap tain Cousteau’s now-famous first book about underwater exploration The Silent World, published a decade ago. In the intervening years, the noted French diver and his asso ciates—often at the peril of theii lives—have ventured deeper and deeper into a vast world which ha scarcely yet been glimpsed: an un derwater region unknown and even unsuspected by most human beings The Living Sea is an absorbing nar rative account—and a fascinating photographic record as well—of the discoveries Cousteau and his daring explorers have made. Using an oceangraphic ship, the Calypso, ci a mobile base, Cousteau and his diving teams excavated an ancient Greek vessel buried in silt some ten mi'es from Marseilles and 135 feet beneath the surface of the Mediterranean. From this long sunken craft they recovered a cargo of wine jars (some filled with wine two thousand years old) and beauti ful black Campanian dinner plates. Under the waters of the Gulf of Suez, they explored a modern British freighter, a casualty of World War 11, her hold jammed with sea-chang ed trucks and motorcycles and fight er aircraft wings. From Sardina to Greece, using an ingeniously designed underwater camera, they surveyed the myster ious “deep scattering layers” (DSL) that occur everywhere in the ocean to plague and confound modern ma riners and distort sonar responses. A study of the thousands of photo graphs taken by this camera reveal ed that the DSL are composed large ly of dense marine life—crustaceans, arrow worms and such—which like a w'atery fog rise at night and fall a gain with the coming of day. Further exploration of the DSL led to the in vention by the Cousteau group of a Deepsea Camera Sled, which travels miles below the ocean’s surface pho tographing weird and wonderful creatures never before seen by man. In the Indian Ocean the Calypso encountered a veritable dolphin army. “A nation of dolphins had gone mad before our eyes. Dolphins, of course, are air-breathing mam mals, and we were familiar with their light, measured prancing into the air to breathe. But these were shooting vertically high out of the water, bending and contorting in the leap. It was a mass high-jump con test, a bridal feast, or a frenzied victory celebration after some un known war in the deep.” Exploring the underseas wonders of Assumption Reef, in the Aldabras north of Madagascar, Cousteau and his crew were adopted by a huge fish, a grouper they named Ulysses. “Ulysses became our inseparable friend. He followed us everywhere sometimes nibbling our fins. After deep dives when we decomp essed thirty feet do" n on a weighted an'’ measured cab'e, the boredom wa en’ivened bv Ulysses’ horsing around with us until we went to the ladder Afterw?”d he won’d hang arorn'’ iust under the surface, sitting on hk tail, like a boy sadly watching hi' playmates being called in to sunner Ulysses ouiokly got on to our divine schedule and would be found earlv in the morning waiting under the lad der for the day’s first sortie. He would go bounding down with us for a round of clumsy mischief and meals from the canvas bag.” Perhaps the most dramatic chan ter of The Living Sea is one in which Cousteau describes an amazing ex periment—that of two men who a greed to live and work underwater continuously for a week. Their dwelling was “Consheif One,” a cy lindrical container seventeen fee* long and eight feet high, anchorer thirty-three feet beneath the surface but well above the ocean floor. / hatch on the bottom of the chambe was always open to the sea. kepi down by internal air pressure Through their liquid door, the two men passed in and out to perform labors that may well anticipate tho e of workers and technicians who in years to come will exploit the as yet largely untapped mineral and ma terial riches of the Continenta Shelf. The Living Sea has 24 pa^es c color photographs, 64 pages of b’ack and-white photographs, line dra’- ings. diagrams and charts.
