Sanders Governor of Georgia J'S’® ^.’M^is MAJOR VACATION SPOT FOR GEORGIANS Stone Mountain Memorial Park Open This Year for Full Season This Summer heralds the first full season for Georgia’s newest tourist attraction, Stone Mountain Memorial Park. Lo cated 16 miles East of Atlanta, Stone Mountain has become a major vacationland for Geor gians looking for summer fun. At the center of the 3.000- tcre recreation complex is 683- foot high Stone Mountain which is the eighth wonder of the world. The world’s lar gest granite monolith, it weighs approximately a half billion tons and has a base of same five miles. Now, the world’s largest work of sculp ture is being completed on the sheer North face of Stone Mountain as a memorial to the Tonfederacv. The deep relief "arving will depict three 138- feet high equestrian figures — Robert E. Lee, Stonewall r ackson and Jefferson Davis — and will take 3 to 4 more years to complete. The activity surrounding the °arving can be easily viewed from a Swiss Skylift or from the terrace of one of the na tion’s finest Civil War mu seums. The Skylift carries the visitor to the Mountain’s sum mit for a breath-taking view of Atlanta and the Blue Ridge mountains. At the top of the Mountain is the Hall of Sculp tors. a beautiful rock garden, and reflecting pool, surround ed bv the flags of the Confede rate states. Around the five-mile base of the Mountain runs the Sce nic Railroad. The train is modeled afeer the famous “General” of Civil War history. In keeping with the folklore of the region, a full-stage Indian battle is staffed during the trip ’round the Mountain with the ’•aiders repelled and the pass engers returned safely to the old-fashioned station. In a more nostalgic atmos ohere is the Marina, where vou can board the Mississippi stv'e paddle wheel steamboat -”'d tour the lake at the base of the Mountain. While en route, Confederate stories and songs are offered to recapture the era that was the “Mississi noi”. For the young at heart, there is a ston at Mark Twain land where Huck Finn can be seen fishing. For those interested in Civil New Student Aid Programs Ara Available to College Students Two new student aid pro grams are now available to needy and able Georgia col lege students. One involves scholarships administered by the State Scholarship Commission, the other loans through the Geor gia Higher Education Assist ance Corporation. Both agen cies were created by the Geor gia General Assembly earlier + his year as nart of Governor Carl Sanders’ overall program to improve education at all i n Georgia. The State Scholarship Com mission in the 1965-66 aca demic year will provide 450 scholarships for students in nursing, dentistry, social work, pharmacy, physical therapy medical technology, dietetics, hospital administration, and other para-medical fields. The number provided in 1966-67 will be 900. The Georgia Higher Educa tion Assistance Corporation will guarantee the repayment of loans made by banks or other financial institutions to students to finance their col lege education. These new programs will supplement three existing State student aid programs in the form of medical scholar shios. teacher scholarships, and Regents’ scholarships. The Regents’ scholarships must be used at institutions of the University System of Georgia, the teacher scholar ships in either State or pri vate colleges in Georgia. The other loans and scholarships may be used at accredited in stitutions either in Georgia or outside the State. Qualified students attending college or accepted for admission may apnly for them. Recipients of loans obtain ed through the Higher Edu cation Assistance Corporation must pay back the loans after graduation, plus interest not to exceed 6 per cent. Those who receive other loans or scholarships .may repay them either bv practicing their pro fession for specified time per iods in Georgia communities where their services are need ed or bv cash with interest. Requests for application forms or for further informa tion about th«se nr^yrms mav be mad° to L. R. Siebert Executive Director. 744 Wash ington St.. S. W., At’anta. Ga. 30334, or to the college the student is attending or will at tend. Inquiries about teacher War and regional history, there are several fine muse- U' is One of the highlights is the Battlarena where history is relieved through an exacting reenactment of Georgia batt’es in an auditorium especially built to enhance realism for the viewer. Through an ar r: ngement of special lighting effects and sterophonic sound, the battles come alive on a 25 bv 43 foot relief map . . . making for an exciting and educational event. Another point of interest is the restored Ante - bellum Plantation surrounded bv a comnlete community of authen tir buildings furnished with 18th and 19th century heir looms. All the original build ings were moved from Georgia sites to Stone Mountain mak ing the Plantation one of the more memorable attractions at the Park. Those interested in automo tive history will find the An tique Auto Museum most ap cealing. It reflects the “Golden Era” of automobile transpor tation complimented by man nequins dressed in costumes of the period. A Ford that Grand pa kept in the parlor, a Max well similar to the one made famous by Jack Benny, a 1928 Cadillac with velvet uphol stery. are just a few of the cars in the collection. For the children especially, there is a Game Ranch with “look-and-do-touch” animals. Located on 10 acres near the Mountain, it offers the visitor a chance to see Georgia wild life in its natural habitat. Accomodations at the park range from camp sites with all modern facilities to the newlv-opened Stone Mountair Inn. This luxurious 92-room motor hotel, beautifully de signed in Georgian style, has heated indoor and outdoo swimming pools. This is p “Gone With the Wind” Inn of moonlight and magnolias and gourmet food — reflectin c th° ffmeiousness of Southern hospitality. Whether you want to rid” horseback, walk nature trails relive history or relax in Southern hospitality, Stone Mountain is an ideal resort for a day or week this summer. scholarships should be made to the State Department of Education, Atlanta, 30334. Household Workers Must Be Reoorted For Social Security Many housewives do not know that maids, cooks and other household workers must be re ported for social security. Accord ;ng to 0. L. Pope, district mana ger for social security, house wives frequently ask whether so cial security reports are due if a maid works only part-time Sometimes the employer says that the maid doesn’t want the social security tax withheld. Often the employer says the maid doesn’t have a social security card and won’t get one. Both the employer and the maid have responsibilities, Pope said. He suggests that employers who aren’t sure of their responsibili ty get in touch immediately with the social security office. Many employers brng their maids with them when they visit the social security office. “This is a good idea, the maid may need a social security card, and, of course, we welcome the chance to explain the law to maids as well as their employers,” Pope said. If a maid or other household worker is paid cash wages of SSO or more in a calendar quarter, the wages must be reported for so cial security and taxes paid. Calendar quarters are three month periods beginning in Janu ary, April, July and October. Each quarter contains 13 weeks — not 12. If a maid’s wages are as much as $3.85 a week for each week of the quarter, she will earn SSO and must be reported. It does not matter whether the w’ork is regular. The maid may work each week, every two weeks, or just a few hours a day each week. The employer must report if the wages total at least SSO in cash in a quarter. The social security office at 704 Jane Street, Waycross, has free booklets that explain this part of the law. VITAMIN D Vitamin D is especially impor tant to young people, according to Miss Lucile Higginbotham of the Cooperative Extension Ser vice. It aids in building strong bones and sound teeth. You ob tain vitamin D from sunshine and ' from certain foods. Valuable food : sources are egg yolk, butter, sal ' mon, tuna, sardines, and milk. HD MEMBERS IN WASHINGTON, D.

'Paramedical' Professions Offer Opportunities in Health Field Augusta, Ga. — For the young person hoping or wanting to serve Georgia’s health needs in one of the so-called “paramedical” pro fessions, the opportunities are brighter and more rewarding then ever. Georgia’s need for nurses, medical technologists, medical record librarians, X-ray techno logists and medical illustrators has never been greater. According to a health career counselor at the Medical College of Georgia, “the growing need for personnel in these professions has been matched by educational op portunities which now make it possible for many collegiate-level students to secure loans and scholarships never before avail able.” A 1962 survey of the supply and demand for nursing and para medical personnel in Georgia es timated that by 1970 the need for staff nurses with academic de grees would increase five-fold. In 1962, Georgia had 335 hospital staff nurses with college degrees. 1,690 of the 11,272 registered nurses needed in 1970 should have baccalaureate degrees, the sur vey reports. Education in this profession at the Medical Col 'ege of Georgia is now possible through a Nursing Student Loan Program. The Georgia medical school is one of only 13 institutions in the nation, and the on'y school in the Southeast, offering a bacca laureate program for medical re cord librarians. The college Bul letin says that “ . . .job oppor tunities in this field are unlimited. At the present time there are about 40 medical record librarians in Georgia employed in the ap proximately 200 hospitals in the state.” The need for personnel in this profession already is great, and is expected to increase sharp ly between now and 1970. Students interested in this bac calaureate program may qualify for loan and scholarship assist ance to finance their two years of professional and on-the-job in struction. Closely associated with Geor gia’s physicians and serving in an important capacity are the state’s 513 medical technologists, of whom less than half possess college degrees. By 1970, Geor gia’s estimated need for profes sional personnel in this field is placed at 738. Students with a po tential interest in diagnostic labo ratory procedures have long been encouraged to investigate medi cal technology as a career pos sibility. Now, with the availability of financial support for students in this academic program, more young men and women are be coming interested in the profes sion. “The demand for skilled and certified X-ray technologists is in creasing every day.” This de claration from the Department of Radiology at the Medical College of Georgia places a current ur gency on the need for interesting more students in this profession. As evidence of the need, a 1962 survey shows that Georgia had some 655 X-ray technologists practicing in the state. By 1970, a 71% iherease is expected, mean ing that a minimum of 1,123 tech nologists will be reequired to fill positions in hospitals, clinics, doc tors’ offices and industry. Training in this field is consid ered attractive because of the generous stipend offered trainees at the Medical College of Geor gia. “Medical education today is making increased use of the ar tist’s talents to reach broad and varied audiences through publi cation, television, lectures and ex hibits.” This statement from the catalog of the Medical College points up a developing associa tion between the medical practi tioner and the medical illustrator trained in visual media such as drawing, sculpture, photography, The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, May 20, 1965 and the like. Students with an ar tistic bent are in high demand, and one of the nation’s few insti tutions offering degree programs in medical art (baccalaureate and graduate) is the Medical College of Georgia. The availability of financial sup port for students in this specialty through loans or scholarships is encouraging more young men and women to consider medical art as a career possibility. Georgia has long had a state loan program for students in med icine. now, in addition, qualified students interested in many of the health-related professions are finding that much educational support is readily offered. As a consequence, numbers of these students no longer need deny themselves a proper and adequate education for financial reasons a lone. Information on loan and scho larship funds is available on re quest from Dr. David B. Mc- Corkle, Director of Student Af fairs, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta.

The People Vote for Eldercare There is impressive evidence that the medicare bill — which is now in the Senate after having been hastily pushed through the House — is not wanted by a majority of the American people. Take, for instance, a national survey conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, New Jersey, which is one of the highly regarded or ganizations of its kind. It was to worded as to give respondents a choice of features they wanted in a health program for the elderly. In each case, the people overwhelmingly chose the features provided in the American Medical Association’s Eldercare proposal, as against those of medicare. Under Elder care, the eldercare population would be entitled to buy private medical insurance, providing wide bene fits and public funds would be used to pay all or part of the cost for those whose incomes are below certain levels to be stipulated by the state. In other words, those who could afford to pay nothing would be given this protection for nothing. The survey found that the majority prefers a health plan which, first, limits the care to those who need financial help; second, is not tied to the social security system; third, is administered by the state rather than the federal government. Eldercare meets all of these wants; medicare none. Specifically, 74 per cent of all those polled chose the Eldercare features, after comparing the two plans. It is significant that those with incomes under $3,000 favored the Eldercare provisions by the same per centage. It is certainly the duty of the Senate to examine these alternative proposals with the utmost care and to consider them in a nonpolitical atmosphere of pub lic needs and desires. LACK OF LIME CAN LIMIT SIZE OF COTTON CROP Lime, or rather the lack of it can be the main limiting factor in cotton production, Georgia cot ton growers were told today by P. J. Bergeaux, a soils and ferti lizer specialist of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service. Mr. Bergeaux points out that extremely acid soils can limit cot ton yields even when these soils have been adequately fertilized. This fact was vividly demonstrat ed last summer on a number of Georgia cotton farms. In each instance the cotton had been heavily fertilized but failed to grow off and remained stunted and yellow looking. A soil test revealed that ex tremely acid soils was causing this condition. The soil pH of each field investigated was 4.7 or be low. With this extremely acid soil condition a number of things can limit growth of the cotton plant. When the soil pH drops below 5.0, Mr. Bergeaux said, mangan ese and aluminum become very soluble and can be toxic to cot ton if appreciable amounts are present in the soil. This condition, manganese toxicity, is called “crinkle leaf” of cotton. Extreme ly acid soils are also usually de ficient in calcium and magnesium. This is particularly true on sandy type soils. Research has shown, the agro nomist continued, that the op timum pH level for cotton is bet ween 6.0 and 6.5. At this pH level manganese and aluminum are not present in toxic levels in the soil. Also calcium and magnesium, if dolomitic lime has been used, are not limiting in the soil at this pH level. Acid soils can easily be elimi nated as a potential hazard to reducing cotton yields and profits by having a soil test made and applying recommended rates of lime. The lime should be applied two months before planting to ob tain maximum benefits for this crop year. We Do All Kinds of Job Printing.
