PANNING BENEATH THE CAPITOL DOME - Veteran miner Robert Jenkins (in coveralls) of
the Gold Hills of Old Dahlonega restorations and recreation park shows an enthusiastic young Miss
how to pan for gold during a special exhibition on the Georgia State Capitol grounds. As the sign
on the panning trough denotes, the gold on the capitol's great dome was taken from the historic
area that the park now occupies at Dahlonega. Gold Hills of Old Dahlonega opens daily to the
public beginning Saturday, June 3. (PRN)
Gold Hills
Will Open
DAHLONEGA, Ga. (PRN)
- The “Gold Rush of 1972”
begins in earnest on Saturday,
June 3, in the same north
Georgia mountains where
America’s first gold rush took
place 150 years ago.
Gold Hills of Old
Dahlonega, a large-scale
restorations and family
recreational project being
developed on the actual site of
that historic initial rush for
the precious yellow metal,
opens daily to the public on
that date. It will continue to
lure modern gold-rushers on a
daily basis through Labor Day,
when its operation is to return
to a weekend-only schedule
through November.
The park, located over
famed Crown Mountain and
just half a mile from the
restored Old Town Square of
Dahlonega and the site of a
pre-Civil War U.S. Mint, has
turned the clock back to the
hey-day of Old Dahlonega and

“Like A Crow On A June Bug”
World Premiere Set May 31st
ATLANTA (PRN) -
Governor Jimmy Carter today
proclaimed May 31st as World
Premiere Day for the new
motion picture, “LIKE A
CROW ON A JUNE BUG.”
The film received this
special proclamation from the
Governor as one of the few
motion pictures that has been
shot entirely on location in
Georgia, primarily in Lowndes
County.
Several of the stars of the
film, Mercedes McCambridge,
Beverly Powers, and two
native Georgians, Simone
Griffith and John Lozier, will
be traveling throughout
Georgia on a personal
appearance tour in
conjunction with the film’s
premiere.
“LIKE A CROW ON A
JUNE BUG” tells the nostalgic
story of a South-Georgia
farming family who suddenly
gain wealth and are exposed to
the outside world for the first
time. The family experiences
unusual joys and sorrows in
the growing process of
becoming used to their new
found fortune.
The film was written by
Curtis Brown Taylor, a native
Georgian who resided in
Valdosta, Georgia, and
although the film is fiction, it
deals with areas that will be
quite familiar to natives of the
Valdosta area and for all
Georgians alike.
Miss McCambridge who
stars in the film along with
Ford Rainey, is best
remembered for her Academy

the bonanza gold strikes.
Original gold stamp mills have
been placed back into full
operation, fed with ore-laden
rocks and dirt from mines on
the property credited with
producing the highest grade
gold found in the United
States.
The same rich dirt may be
used by visitors for gold
panning purposes, and they
are allowed to keep everything
they find. Best news yet,
everyone is guaranteed that
they will “strike” some gold in
their pans.
The park’s Gold Museum
houses the rare equipment and
paraphernalia used in
yesteryear’s great searches for
gold, while offering brief but
thorough educational courses
in mining for the aspiring
gold-hunter. Scenic historic
and nature trails along Crown
Mountain lead past many
intriguing sites, all detailed by
interpretive stations.

CLAYTON (PRN) -
Visitors will certainly be
taking their chances if they
appear at Clayton’s
Mountaineer Festival sans
sunbonnet or whiskers. It’s
rumored that an old-fashioned
calaboose awaits such
offenders.
Nevertheless, few city folk
care to miss the annual Rabun
County event, set this year for
June 16 and 17.
Preparations for Clayton’s
12th Festival get underway
Friday, the 16th, with a
beauty contest to choose a
local belle to reign as Queen of
the Festival. This event will be
followed by a square dance at
the Mountain City Playhouse,
situated between Clayton and
Dillard.
Cloggers will whirl and
fiddlers tune up for
country-sound competition on
Friday and Saturday, with
finals to be held at the
Playhouse.
Saturday will also be the
day of the big parade, with

TAMING THE TIRE KILLERS

three driving facts of life can
steal years of usefulness from
your tires.
With Fiberglas®-belted
tires, however, you can
effectively tame these
“killers.”
Just as a toy snake stops
wriggling when it’s reinforced
with a piece of tape, Fiberglas
cord helps keep a tire’s tread
from squirming. High speed
wheel tests have demon
strated that Fiberglas cord
belts give tires added stability
and longer tread wear.
And, because they reduce
road friction by the added
stability, Fiberglas belts help
to take the heat off heat
