Ivan Allen, Jr., in a special re
port to the Executive Board of
the Atlanta Area Council,
8.5.A., at a dinner meeting re
cently in Marietta.
The report was compiled by
a special Long Range Planning
Committee of the Atlanta Area
Council of which Mr. Allen is
Chairman.
Purpose of the study was to
determine Scouting needs over
the next ten years; fix objec
tives based on needs rather than
past growth; and suggest meth
ods of achieving a better bal
anced Scouting program in the
12 counties served by the At
lanta Area Council, Mr. Allen
said.
He pointed out that in ten
years the Atlanta Area Council
will be serving 43,708 boy mem-
। bers or an increase of more
than 150 pct. over the 18,583
boys served in 1958. Already,
present personnel and facilities
are grossly inadequate, he de
clared. In 1958, each profession
al served 1238 boy members. A
maximum of 1000 boy members
per professional Scout worker
is recommended by national
Scouting authorities.
Present camping facilities are
completely inadequate, Mr.
Allen said. He cited figures to
show that Bert Adams and other
camps operated over capacity
during 1958, and that demands
on these same facilities would
double by 1961.
Studies detailed in the re
port also point up an urgent
need for an increased operating
budget. At present, 60 pct of
the Council’s operating budget
comes from United (Chest) Ser
vices with the remaining 40 pct.
raised from other sources.
‘‘ln 1958 we had 18,583 regis
tered boys with an operating
budget of $196,683. In 1968 we
will have 43,708 registered boys. ।
In the simplest terms this
means that in 1968 the mini
mum budget requirements will
be in excess of $550,000.” Mr.
Allen said.
The planning committee rec
ommended immediate action to
- 1) select the best possible loca
tion for an Atlanta Area Coun
cil Camp. 2) complete the over
all plan for the site, and 3) ac
quire the necessary funds
through a capital funds drive.
Besides Mr. Allen, members
of the committee who prepared
the report are: Messers: J. J.
McDonough, Charles Thwaite,
Fletcher Rogers, Ben Gilmer,
Wailes Thomas, Phil Hammer,
Henry Beck. Edwin Smith,
James Lea, John Gould, John
Allen, and Rock Taber.
The dinner meeting at which
the report was presented was
sponsored by the Lockheed Air
craft Corporation in Marietta.
Louisville, Ky., police report
there should be no trouble for
motorists who drive from down
town hotels to Freedom Hall,
May 19-22, for sessions of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
The police also announced that
city buses will operate on regu
lar schedules. Space for 10,000
cars will be available at the
Exposition Center, where Free
dom Hall, convention site, is lo
cated.

State Health j
Director Urges
Fluoridation
A new and very strong en
dorsement of fluoridation of
public water supplies for pre
vention of tooth decay has come
from Dr. Thomas F. Sellers, di
rector, Georgia Department of
Public Health.
Dr. Sellers stated today that
he is urging all state and local
public health employees to ac
tively support and encourage
fluoridation of public water
supplies in communities
throughout the state, and ap
pealing to every citizen to de
man fluoridation for the pro
tection of their children’s teeth.
“The benefits of fluoridation
have been proven again and
again,” he said. “After careful
study of the safety and effec
tiveness of fluoridation of pub
lic water supplies as a means
of preventing tooth decay, the
State Board of Health endorsed
it in 1950. Two years later, with
increased evidence of its safety
and benefits, the Board reen- i
dorsed it as a safe, practical i
and effective health measure.
“Athens and DeKalb County ।
were the first communities in
Georgia to fluoridate, starting:
in 1951. Georgia now has 29
fluoridated water systems, serv- '
ing 61 communities with a total I
population of 773,213.
“Despite this progress, how-1
ever, several of the principal
cities in Georgia continue to
resist this effective health mea
sure. Some city officials even
challenge the integrity of such ,
organizations as the American
Medical Association. American
Dental Association, Medical As
sociation of Georgia, Georgia
Dental Association, the Georgia
Public Health Association and
other scientific groups who state
emphatically that con trolled
fluoridation is safe, effective
and should be used extensively
as a preventive service. Non
scientific minority groups may
have control over a few key
city officials, but they have not
been able to sway a single pro
fressional group from their or
iginal endorsement of fluorida
tion.
“Time and careful studies by
competent authorities have
proven that no injurious effects
result in communities where
fluorides have been added to
the public water supply and in
Georgia and results in prevent- '
ing tooth decay have been even ■
more gratifying than expected. |
Studies in Athens, Rome, Mon
roe and many other communi
ties have proven this conclusive- ■
ly-
“I therefore, urge every citi- I
zen to take an active stand in j
this matter and help us make
Georgia an even healthier place
in which to live. Governor Ern-!
est Vandiver has proclaimed
February 8-14 as Children’s i
Dental Health Week in Georgia ;
and stated in his proclamation 1
that fluoridation of public wat- '
er supplies can protect our chil j
dren from dental disease and
help to insure good dental
health in adulthood. National
Children’s Dental Health Week
is an ideal time to start the'
campaign for fluoridation in j
your community and you may I
deped upon the Georgia Depart- !
ment of Public Health for full I
support. Our children’s health :
should not be sacrificed for po- ’
litical ambitions.”
Disabled Child
Can Qualify For
S. S. Benefits
“The 1958 amendments to
I the Social Security Act make :
।it easier for a disabled child I
over 18 to qualify for social se- '
curity benefits on his parent’s
social security records,” Joseph
R. Murphy of the Atlanta social
security office said today.
Before September 1958 a dis
abled child who was chiefly
supported by a public agency
or some person other than the
parent could not receive social
security benefits on the parent’s
account. Under the new law, the
disabled child is entitled to
benefits if he meets the bene
fit requirements for a child
under 18. These requirements
are more liberal. It is no longer
necessary, in most cases, that
the disabled child be receiving
at least one-half of his support
from the parent.
Other requirements were not
changed. Before a child can
qualify for disabled child’s
benefits, a parent must be re
ceiving social security retire-
I ment benefits, or must have
been insured under the social
I security program at the time
of death.
Mr. Quarles will be in Cov
ington at the Courthouse on
each Tuesday at 9:00 aun.

1450 ACRES DELUXE PASTURES WITH SUPER CARRYING POWER
1450 ACRES DELUXE PASTURES
There's feed everywhere you go on the Spears farm.
Many feel they're among the best pastures in the state.
Superb pasture work is the secret, and it began with soil
engineering back when the pastures were started. Mr.
Spears took a caterpillar and smoothed up every acre.
The land was subsoiled. Soil tests were made, and to
naturally fertile soil, lime and every element needed were
added.
Today there is a wealth of Kentucky 31 fescue, Ladino and
Crimson clover. Bermuda flourishes as does 100 acres of
the wonder hybrid grass, Coastal Bermuda. High produc
tion of the pastures has been maintained by regular ap
plications of fertilizer.
12 pasture units make it easy to manage cattle, cut hay
and control the pasture grass. High yields of oats and
other grain. Not a gully or ditch on the land. You II agree
that you’ve never seen land which lies so beautifully. It s a
layout where you have the cheap feed you need to make
money with beef or dairy cows. Acquire these fruitful
acres at auction! Get set for life.
All the land is fenced and cross fenced into 12 separate
pastures, and you'll never have a worry about your live
stock getting out. Five strands of highest grade barb wire
plus a great deal of woven wire on black locust posts.
VALUABLE PINES’
The Spears Brothers pointed out that it has been 11 years
since any timber was cut on this land. Then, they said,
“nothing under 10" was cut." Now there's both saw timber
and pulpwood ... fine pines to provide ready cash plus a
good stand of young timber. It will be a simple matter to
cruise kt, so take a look and be at the sale.
18-ACRE FISH-FILLED LAKE
This lake lies serene and placid in a valley by the highway
and near the main home. It's a fisherman's dream where
bass up to 15 pounds are just waiting to hit your lure.
Plenty of bream and catfish. Another 4-acre lake is also
stocked. It will provide many fun-filled hours for your
family and friends.
Should you decide to capitalize on the pent-up desire of
hundreds to fish here, you can make good money selling
permits. Many have tried to lease the lake. Do this and
you have an income with no worry. It will average 14'
all over, which is the depth it takes to grow big fish.
Pure, fresh water in every pasture in every season so cattle
can drink whenever they want to. There's six streams,
three of which are almost creek size. Dug wells at all the
houses.

Prize Spots For Business at the Intersection of Busy
Highways in a Stable, Developing Area
Many a man has driven by this busy 4-corner intersection
and thought of the tremendous potential it has for business.
It's a natural site if there ever was one for a service
station, general merchandise store, feed store, farm equip
ment agency or any kind of service business. There's a
prize site for a motel at the lake.

are scores of homes in all directions where the income level
is high, plus a constant flow of interstate traffic. Ideal
site for a factory or fabricating plant.
WHY THIS SALE
This land has changed hands only once in many, many
years and this was when the late J. B. Spears acquired it.
Once there was five members of this family corporation.
Now there are two. They have 2200 additional acres and
grow 55,000 chickens the year round plus other interests.
Though they can point to an impressive profit record from
cattle here, there is a feeling that they have earned the
right to cut back on their endeavors and take life easier.
And so it is with pride that we offer it at auction. It goes
rain or shine.
