speaker at the Covington Ki
wanis club Thursday. His sub
ject was “India.”
Prpf. Hoffman and Mrs.
Hoffman spent eight years in
India as missionaries of the
Methodist Church. He joined
the faculty of Emory last fall.
He traced the history of
India and stated that the aver
age size of families in India is
9 3 persons and the average
income of each family is only
about s3l per month.
Prof. Hoffman said that the
economic and social conditions
of India are due mainly to the
religions of the country. Hin
du takes in about 85 percent.
He also added that the caste
system of the country is still
in force.
The languages and illiteracy
of the country also contributes
to its plight as there are 16
states and there are 16 differ
ent languages, the speaker
said. Eighty-five percent of the
people cannot read or write.
One visitor was present for
the meeting. He was Leon
Wright of New York, guest of
E. E. Callaway.

the time they have their hands
out for the fruits of the same
system.”—John C. Hazen.

She said that the heart as
sociation, now in its 13th year,
has made considerable pro
gress, particularly in the field
of research.
“Since 1950,” she said, “the
Georgia Heart Association has
allocated nearly $900,000 for
research alone, about $170,000
being provided for this work
each year.”
She said the association sup
ports the work of more than 30
research scientists . . some full
time and some on a part time
basis. . . in several of the state’s
medical centers.
Another GHA program which
has assisted many indigent
cardiacs is the heart clinic sys
tem. Mrs. Dickinson said.
“And of course the heart as
sociation stroke educational
project is particularly close to
us here in Newton County be
cause of the success we have
had with our stroke clinic,” she
said.
She added that the statewide
stroke nrogram is an effort to
inform the state’s 40,000 stroke
victims as to what can be done
for them through simple reha
bilitation techniques.

Point Clear, Ala. — A call for !
action to cut nighttime crime and
accident tolls was issued to the
representatives of 10 states by
Mary Katharine Barnes, Na
tional Safety Chairman of the
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs.
Speaking at the Southeastern
Council of the GFWC, convening
here at Grand Hotel, Miss
Barnes said that careful studies
show improved lighting on high
ways and on residential streets
will reduce accidents 60 percent
and chase crime.
Miss Barnes deplored the fact
that there is no strong legisla
tion in any si ate making it
mandatory to light hazardous
highway locations. She pointed
Out that permissive legislation is
not enough when we see that, in
1959, T1 percent of all night

Dr. Faulkner was instru
mental in starting the Newton
County Stroke Rehabilitation
Clinic. He will talk about the
Newton County Clinic on the
television program, and about
the Georgia Heart Association’s
stroke rehabilitation and edu
cational programs that have
brought new hope and much
comfort to so many of the
state's stroke patients.
Dr. Goodloe Erwin, of the
University of Georgia, will be
the moderator for the pro
gram.
The Heart Fund campaign in
Georgia was officially launch
ed February 1. This month-long
solicitation is the only appeal
the Georgia Heart Association
makes to help in its programs
to reduce the number of deaths
and disabilities caused by the
heart and circulatory diseases.

motor accident deaths occurred
on rural highways outside mu
nicipalities.
“We must work for effective
laws that will guard the public
interest. If improved lighting
prevents only a fraction of these
nighttime highway deaths, our
efforts will be well repaid,” said
the safety leader.
“Nighttime crimes, mostly
against women and children are
also of special concern to us,”
Miss Barnes continued, “Police
agree that well-lighted streets
take away the cover the criminal
seeks. Better lighting is being
used in New York City to pre
vent juvenile gang wars. Recent
ly, $500,000 was budgeted for
this purpose.
“We all know there are some
accidents at night that cannot
be helped,” the Safety Chair
man said, “but the many that
occur because the driver could
not see in time, can be prevented
with modern adequate lighting.
“We should consider this an
opportunity and an obligation.”
Miss Barnes, a resident of
Charleston, West Virginia, and
past President of her State Fed
eration, along with the GFWC
President, Mrs. E. Lee Ozbirn,
introduced a Federation Crusade
against crime and accident
through the use of modern ade
quate street lighting, in their
1960-61 national program. No
tice of this went out from head
quarters in Washington, D.C. to
16,000 Federated clubs.
At this time, Mrs. Ozbirn ex
pressed her belief that “Women’s
insistence on improved street
lighting will make an important
contribution to the GFWC total
goal of Responsible Responsive
Citizenship for Survival.
"I enthusiastically recommend
and strongly endorse this cru
sade,” Mrs. Ozbirn said.

THE INFANTRY CENTER
The bright sun takes on an
orange glow and casts elong
ated shadows eastward as the
climax of a visit to The Infan
try Center bakes place. The
bugler sounds retreat. The
troops stand rigid. The mili
tary police bring down the
Stars and Stripes in simple
but impressive ceremonies.
A retreat ceremony on a
military base is always capa
ble of arousing feelings of pride
in Americans, and the ceremony
at Fort Benning matches the
dignity of the changing of the
guard at Buckingham Palace.
Now, the palace guards are far
more colorful and capable of
more showmanship, but for
sheer joy nothing can stir the
soul more than the lowering
of the United States flag and
the loving respect brave men
show it.
Fort Benning has a great
deal to offer the civilian visi
tor, and you’ll find a royal
reception whether you’re visit
ing military personnel or just
looking around.
And there are thrills, too.
Like over at the jump towers,
where the airborne troops go
through the paces. The ex
citement, the timing will leave
you limp.
Fort Benning is the training
center for infantry and air
borne troops and one of the
most outstanding military in
stallations in the world. Lo
cated near Columbus, it plays
a mighty role in the social and
economic life of the city. Even
more important, it plays a vital
role in the defense of this na
tion and the world.
You’ll come away from Ben
ning with a deeper appreciation
of our military forces especial
ly the time-proven infantry.
You’ll know that the inscrip
tion on the statue of the in
fantryman is a statement of
fact:

“I am the Infantry. Queen
of battle! Follow me!”
The Fort is named for a dis
tinguished Confederate officer,
Brig. General Henry L. Ben
ning, a native of Columbus.
Perhaps the real hero of the
installation is one obscure Ma
jor Paul Jones, who received
an order after World War I
that would have ended Fort
Benning. The orders stated that
the Fort was to be salvaged.
The disturbed major, look
ing for an out, checked the
exact meaning of the word
“salvage” and found it meant
“to save.” He ordered that all
buildings be painted to “save”
them and so reported his action
to the Department of the
Department of the Army.
Whether from respect of the
major’s firm decision or em
barrassed by the poor choice of
words in the original order it
probably never will be known,
but the Department of the
Army let the fort be “saved.”

rect you over the best routes

JEFFERSON DAVIS PARK
The Jefferson Davis State
Park was intended only to
commemorate the ideals of the
Confederate States as exem
plified in the person of its
Chief Executive and to per
petuate in the people the prin
ciples of constitutional govern
ment which the Confederate
fathers sought to save.
It is therefore fitting that
this, the smallest In size of
Georgia’s many parks, offers
no active recreational activi
ties. It is a restful place, dig
nified and simple.
In this the first year of the
Civil War Centennial, we find
an ideal time to visit this park,
one of the most historic and
hallowed spots in the entire
South. This is the place for
quiet meditation. This is the
place to observe those docu
ments and mementos which
shaped the destiny of the
South.
Perhaps the outstanding fea
ture of the park is the very
fine Confederate Museum. But
you’ll also enjoy strolling in
the quiet of the pines and oaks
on the beautiful grounds as
you read the inscriptions of
plaques of the past.
On May 10, 1865, President
Davis was overtaken by the
Fourth Regiment of the Mich
igan Cavalry and placed un
der arrest. Davis was making
his way back to Mississippi and
his family after receiving a
few days earlier word of Lee s
surrender.

which he was captured. A few

was killed in the battle that
preceded Davis capture. He
was among the last to be kill

It is somewhat ironical, but
the bronze bust of Davis, lead
er of the Confederacy, was put
in place in 1931, made possi
ble by funds from the federal
government through the Works
Progress Administration.
The park is on Georgia 32,
