Newspaper Page TextThe Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, January 20, 1972 Sidney Lanier, Georgia’s famed poet, was born in this house on High Street in Macon. (PRN) TOUR GEORGIA MACON (PRN) - Sidney Clopton Lanier, born in Macon in 1842, was one of the state’s most versatile sons. He received recognition as a poet, musician, teacher, scholar, lawyer, mathematician, naturalist, linguist, novelist, soldier. And his self-description -a line from his last poem chosen to mark his grave - reads, “I am lit with the sun.” The birthday of the famed Georgia bard will be celebrated in Macon on February 3, highlighted by the issuance of an eight-cent postage stamp honoring the occasion. A number of programs and printings are planned, with the Macon Chamber of Commerce and the Middle Georgia Historical Society preparing special biographical material. An accordion folder of striking color photographs which illustrate Lanier’s works will be distributed by the Historical Society. John J. McKay, historian and relative of the poet, has included photographs of Georgia scenes which vividly depict Lanier’s beloved “Marches of Glynn” and “Song of the Chattahoochee.” Sidney Lanier was born on There's nothing funny about ourl2ooSedan. 72 delivered 1200 Sedan ’Wf’ ’ 19490 ° plm saite tax T.E.E.

Sidney Lanier attended Oglethorpe College near Milledgeville, graduating in 1860 and teaching there prior to entering the Confederate Army with the Macon Volunteers in 1861. He was captured while serving on a Confederate blockade runner and spent five months in Federal prison. During this period he developed lung trouble with which he struggled until his death at the age of 39 years. Lanier’s accomplishments have been commemorated by many memorials throughout the country and by his inclusion with other poets, scholars, statesmen and benefactors of mankind in the Hall of Fame at New York University. The Department of Industry and Trade, Tourist Division, believes all Georgians would enjoy joining Macon in celebrating the birthday of Sidney Lanier, Georgia’s immortal poet who was “lit with the sun.” oimstws -*• * I Editor’s Note: This week’s column was written by the Game & Fish Department’s Press Services Editor Marvin Tye as regular columnist Dean Wohlgemuth is on leave. ATLANTA (PRN) - Now that the hunting seasons for most game are coming to a close, the Georgia sportsman is beginning to think of fishing. Chances are the average fisherman is thinking of the opening of trout season in April, the spawning runs of white bass or anadromous species such as shad and striped bass, the coastal fishing that hits its peak in the summertime or fishing for fresh water species such as bass, bluegills or crappie in the spring and early summer. If you don’t mind a little cold weather, Mr. Angler, you can quit dreaming and start fishing. Some of the best opportunities to catch really big bass are available during the months of January and February. The fish gather in large numbers in deep holes in our larger reservoirs. Once the fish are located, the fisherman has an excellent opportunity to latch on to a real prize catch. The best methods to use are trolling until deep holes and concentrations of fish are found and working the bottom with weighted jigs, plastic worms or similar lures or with live minnows if you prefer fishing with bait. To insure success, you’ll have to be comfortable. It’s not as hard as it may seem. You’ll need to dress in several layers of light, warm clothing beginning with thermal or insulated underwear and followed by cotton or wool trousers, a long sleeve shirt and sweater or jacket. Os course you’ll need waterproof boots and wool socks. A warm hat and gloves will BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH Georgia Game and Fish Commission Winter Fishing Can Be Hot complete your clothing needs unless there is rain. In that case, you’ll need a rainsuit consisting of pants and jacket with a parka hood. It’s really surprising how warm and comfortable you can be on the coldest days with such an outfit. As an example of how good winter fishing can be, let me tell you about a trip I made a few years ago with my friend Terry Chupp. For several weeks we had been planning a Saturday trip to Lake Lanier. The night before our trip was to take place, Atlanta and points north were covered with a freezing rain. Despite the inclement weather, we were determined to go fishing. It was not too bad at first. The roads were open and there was only a light mist in the air. After less than an hour of fishing, the mist turned to rain then to hail. Fearing that we might not be able to drive back home if the roads were covered with ice, we reluctantly came ashore and started the trip back Tany is not r ne type to give up a fishing f r - easily. On the way home we passed Freeman’s Lake near Lilburn. The rain had declined to a slight drizzle, so we decided to try again. We drifted across the lake and fished plastic worms on the bottom. On the first drift a six pound largemouth latched onto Terry’s worm and was soon led to the net. If such a fish could be caught on one of the coldest days that I have ever experienced, or fished in, this far south, it should prove a point. The fish are there and the competition for them is light. If you go prepared, you’ll be comfortable even on a day such as I have described.

Warr«n j President IA«W American Land Title Association 1972 Buyer Outlook Favorable Economic experts have voiced abundant optimism over the 1972 housing out look and a record market year may well be ahead. aflK Forecasts of f Je more than 2 ■ Jj? m 'Ui° n hous- ing startß tor 1972 are com mon, and mortgage Warren money is ex pected to be plentiful because of supporting activity by the federal government and gov ernment-sponsored organiza tions. Pressures for holding down mortgage interest rates are expected to continue. An excellent selection of single homes is anticipated in many locales, since a swing in this direction from multiple family dwellings is expected among builders. This favorable outlook means that 1972 will be a good year to purchase a home. The trend of land, labor, and material costs is up—even with post wage-price freeze controls—so the time to buy is as soon as you can afford it. In most cases, the purchase of a home continues to be an excellent long-range investment. If your 1972 plans include home buying, remember to do some advance checking on what is involved in a real es tate purchase in your locale. Carefully consider location, structure, and design of a home. Investigate the most suitable mortgage financing available—whether the loan be FHA, VA, or conven tional. Make sure you can afford the down payment and monthly outlays for princi pal, interest, taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance. Become well acquainted with the protection available to yoy through a title search and owner’s title insurance. Check into the closing costs you will be required to pay. Learning—in advance—the facts on home buying will better prepare you for the de cision-making that goes with purchasing real estate and improve your chances for secure, enjoyable ownership. The purchase of a home is the largest, and most satisfying, investment most of us ever make. Preparing yourself for this important event is time well spent.

When teachers at a New York City high school asked students to evaluate current teaching methods last spring, they got some surprising answers. In one math class, students demanded that they be given more, not less, homework. They felt they weren’t learning fast enough. Other students wanted to be tested more often so that they could gauge their own progress, but didn’t want the test results “held against” them in grading; they thought most tests should be used simply as a tool of learning. Asking students for ideas is part of a new educational concept that regards teachers as managers and students as employees. As managers, teachers are to enlist the active support of their stu dents in producing the product — the students’ own education — in the most efficient way. The teachers, all from the James Monroe School in the Bronx, had just returned from a weekend seminar on Long Island sponsored by our training department. One of our people, Jim Capobianco, who participated, explained: “Before the conference, the teachers had considered the principal to be the manager, the teacher as an employee and the student as a product. We got into a new concept — the teacher as a manager with 20 or 30 people under him — people he must motivate and for whom he must make the work interesting.” We borrowed the idea of getting the teachers together Not satisfied with his invention of the world's first horse drawn refrigerator car, fish merchant William Davis of Detroit built the world's first railroad refrigerator car a year later, in 1869. _ 4-H IN BUSINESS Many Georgia 4-H Club members are expanding their education by enrolling in the 4-H business exploration project.

STUDENTS TEACH THE TEACHERS at a conference for a weekend of professional discussions from the business world. Once there, the teachers immersed themselves in a series of informal lectures on “systems analysis” (sys tematic methods of attacking problems) and possible ways to apply it in the classroom. The sessions began on Friday night and continued through to noon, on Sunday. Dr. Norman Willard, who heads up our training facil ities, said, “We hoped to teach a new way of thinking. If we can show the teachers other ways of handling things, we can ‘blow their minds’ a little. The idea is that by giving teachers expo sure to these skills for analyzing problems in planning and decision making, we can help bring about change in schools.” Os all the business con cepts presented, perhaps the most “revolutionary” was that the function of the test, in business, is to test the teacher, not the pupil. In business when someone is hired to teach something to employees and the employees fail to learn, it is the teacher who has fallen down, not the CHUCKLE COBWEB I II WHk Bs JL " y’KNOW DAD....

They are also sub mitting many changes to the principal, Max Ostrover, who is an enthusiastic booster of the seminar. The big lesson learned from a joint venture like this is the need for cooperation. In a school environment, there are a number of ele ments — students, teachers, parents, community leaders and business. If there is to be progress, each one of these elements has to be in place, collaborating with the others. When that takes place, the community may anticipate some giant steps forward.
