THE ROOSEVELT MUSEUM
By GLENN McCULLOUGH
Promotion material used to
lure tourists to Warm Springs
and the Little White House
proclaims a visit here . . . “an
unforgettable experience.”
And that pretty well des
cribes it.
But even if you’ve been here
before—and still remember it,
you’ll want to come back now.
They’ve finally done justice to
hundreds of mementos which
belonged to the late President
Roosevelt. Recently a beauti
ful museum was dedicated by
Governor Vandiver in simple
ceremonies on the grounds of

the Little White House. The
building which is now the
museum was a former home of
a wealthy woman who be
queathed it to the Warm
Springs Memorial Commission,
operator of the Little White
House.
The house and grounds, in
the quiet setting of the slope
of Pine Mountain, are in them
selves worth driving to Warm
Springs to see. And inside this
new museum you’ll find out
much about the man which his
torians never record.
The keys to his personality
are many and the hundreds of
mementos, cherished by the
President, not for the material
value but for the givers, pro
vide an insight into the deep
love of a nation for that man.
Among them are expensive
gifts from heads of state but in
far greater number are the
worthless little hand-made ob
jects given to him by admirers
—including school children.
And somehow as you gaze up
on these objects you get the
feeling that he probably cher
ished those worthless ones
more than the costly ones.
And the famous Stones of
the States collection, now 51 in
all, flank the sweeping walk
way from the little White
House up to the new museum.
These, too, provide an interest
ing study for old and young.
Also on display is the lone
wheel chair—a reminder of
the polio which he suffered,
and numerous ship models,
stressing his love of the sea.
And there is Fala’s chain and
a riding quirt still hanging in
the closet. Downstairs in the
garage is the old Ford conver
tible, with its special controls,
which the President drove, ac
cording to natives, rather furi
ously through the countryside.
The famous unfinished por
trait still is in its original set
ting in the cottage. And now in
the new museum is the artist’s
conception of the “finished”
portrait, done in water color.
This new portrait graces the
beautiful mantel above a fire
place.
Even if you’ve been here be
fore, you’ll enjoy a return trip,
not only because there’s so
much more to see but you’ll
find pleasure in the improved
expansion project.
Any service station dealer
will assist you in selecting the
best route to Warm Springs.
15 Industries
Located Recently
On Ga. Power Lines
Fifteen new industries re
presenting a capital investment
of $1,558,000 have located on
the lines of the Georgia Power
Company during the first quar
ter of 1961, E. A. Yates, Jr.,
vice president and manager of
the company’s area develop
ment division, announced this
week. This compares with 19
new firms representing a capi
tal investment of $2,810,000 lo
cated in the power company’s
service area during the initial
quarter of 1960.
All facilities as reported by
the power company are manu
facturing or processing plants,
each representing a capital in
vestment of $50,000 or more
and employing at least 10
workers.
In addition to the new plants
located in Georgia during the
first quarter of 1961, a total of
eight existing industries con
structed new facilities to ex
pand their operations. These
new facilities represent an in
vestment of $4,870,000. In the
first quarter of 1960, a total of
10 industries increased their
productive capacity at a cost of
sll million.
The new and expanded units
have created new jobs for 1,616
Georgians at annual wages of
$4,248,100. Manu fa dur
ing plants and additions es
tablished during the first quar
ter of 1960 provided 1,313 jobs
totaling $3,882,000.

Atlanta Radio Stations Refused
To Broadcast The Crackers Games
The Atlanta Cracker base
ball management is not at
fault for not broadcasting the
Cracker games this season, ac
cording to a statement by Gen
eral Manager Jasper Donald
son.
“Why aren’t Atlanta Cracker
games being broadcast live
over radio this year?” is a
question Cracker General Man
ager Jasper Donaldson contin
ues to receive from baseball
fans over the state.
“Don’t blame us,” Donald
son says. “We want our games
live on the air just as much as
the fans do. Long before the
season opened we offered the
games to every radio station in
the Atlanta area free of charge,
"Project Progress"
Continues As
Pilot Program
The Georgia Municipal Asso
ciation and the State Senate
Government Operations Com
mittee will give top priority to
continuation of ‘Project Pro
gress’, a pilot program for ec
onomic development.
This was decided at a meet
ing in Atlanta recently of the
Senate Committee and the Gov
ernment Operations Committee
of the Municipal Association.
The two groups also discuss
ed a wide range of other activ
ities and legislation which they
may study.
The two groups undertook
Project Progress last year at
the request of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Garland T. Byrd. He pro
posed the program as a means
of determining what steps need
be taken to stimulate economic
development in many counties
in Georgia which have suffer
ed population, employment, and
other losses.
Tne project is now sponsored
by the Municipal Association
and the Association of County
Commissioners. Participating in
it are the State Department of
Commerce, Georgia Tech’s In
dustrial Development Branch,
units of the University of Geor
gia, the State Department of
Education, the State Chamber
of Commerce, Georgia Power
Company’s Area Development
Division, and others.
The pilot program is being
carried on in six counties:
Washington, Hancock and
Green, and Dooly, Macon and
Taylor.
W. Elmer George, Executive
Director of the Municipal As
sociation, said the two commit
tees at an informal session dis
cussed many possible activities,
and agreed to meet again soon
to set specific studies.
Among matters discussed,
George said, were:
Laws to implement the Con
stitutional Amendment which
will permit the state to provide
aid to cities.
Home rule, tax equalization,
amendment of the sales tax
law.
Expansion of facilities in the
State Department of Commerce
to provide adequate programs
of industrial development,
tourism, and planning.
Expansion of the Industrial
Development Branch of Geor
gia Tech, and of research fa
cilities at the University of
Georgia.
Take Your Chest
Pain To Doctor
We’ve become a heart-con
scious nation. One small stab
of pain in the chest, and the
sufferer is sure he has heart
trouble. It’s true that heart
damage can cause pain in the
chest. But there’s a lot more to
your chest than just your heart.
To start at the outside, you
have chest muscles. Several
bouts of hard coughing can
strain those muscles and they’ll
hurt.
Then you have ribs, and
cartilage. Ribs can be bruised
or even fractured by h a r d
coughing. The cartilage can be
damaged. Either type of injury
will cause pain in the chest.
The lining of the chest wall,
called the pleura, sometimes
gets inflamed. This illness is
called pleurisy; the pain is in
your chest.
Arthritis of the spine can
cause chest pain. So can any
damage to your diaphragm, the
tough sheet of muscle which
separates your chest from your
abdomen. Sheer nervousness
and fatigue can bring on chest
pain, too.
Take your chest pain to your
doctor. Let him tell you what’s
causing it and what you can
do about it. And don’t get over
anxious about your heart. That i
can bring on a pain in your
chest.

but not one would take them.
Our offer still stands.”
Radio Station WGUN of De
catur is carrying Cracker games
on a delayed basis — that is
the night games are being tap
ed and broadcast the next day.
That’s the best WGUN can do
in its effort to serve Georgia’s
baseball fans because it is
strictly a day - time station.
Most of the letters Donald
son receives on the subject are
critical of the Cracker man
agement, but as he says “it
isn’t our fault.” Perhaps a
write - in campaign to t h e
radio stations would be more
appropriate — and who knows
— it might bring results, Don
aldson suggested.

SELF SUFFICIENCY
According to the Southern
Pine Association, one of the
chief advantages of modern
wood roof systems is their self
sufficiency.
For example, when wood
trussed rafters are used, the
roof structure requires ground
support only at the outer house
walls. This permits larger
rooms and the substitution of
storage type dividers for con
ventional partitioning.
A second self-sufficient sys
tem is wood plank-and-beam.
This is ideal for a patio plan
type home in which main liv
ing areas are grouped around a
central yard. The self sufficien
cy of the plank-and-beam roof
permit' location of large wind
ow areas on room walls adjoin
ing the central yard. Each room
thereby acquires an out-door
extension.
