Porterdale Woman's Club Had
Wonderful Time in New York
PORTERDALE—“One thing
I learned about New York was
they spoke of millions and bil
lion of dollars so lightly,” ex
pressed one member of the
Porterdale Woman’s Club
while reminiscing. “Fifty-five
ladies never had a more hand
some or cooperative guide,"
said another. “I’ll take my fur
coat if I ever go again, but I
think the Empire State Build
ing was the most thrilling
thing,” quipped another. “I
lust tell you, that visit to the
Prayer Room at the United
Nations Building was worth
everything to me. I know I’ll
never be quite the same again!”
These and many other ex
oressive statements have been
heard since the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad’s Silver Comet
arrived in Athens, Georgia
bright and early Monday morn
ing, June 26, at six-thirty
o’clock.
Thrills and sights too numer
ous and breathtaking to men
tion literally packed the hours
from six o’clock Thursday af
ternoon, June 22, through that
arrival at the terminal in Ath
ene on Monday.
Since August 1960. under the
leadershin of Project Chair
man, Mrs. Edward J. Hertwig
rnd her assistant. Mrs. B. C.
Crowe”, the Porterdale Wo
man’s Club had anticipated this
exciting week-end in The Big
City. Mr. B. P. Beard. Soecial
Passenger Representative of
the Seaboard Air Line Rail
road Companv, had worked
untiringly, and he continued
to do so planning and carry
ing out the peasant and satis
fving tr’n. For th’s. he was
commenHpd often off and on
dn-'nv the eventful days.
Every trio asnirant was on
the busses orovided hv South
eastern Stages at Porterdale
School on Thursday afternoon
a six o’clock with the excep
tion of the one person whose
presence and leadership was
essential. She must have had
a prcmon ; tion that the train
would be late to arrive in Ath
ens. It was LAT I ^!
Mrs. Effie Boyd’s white
lunch boxes dotted the floats
at the Athens, Georgia termin
al. and her lunches were eaten
from Walnut Grove to New
York City.
Busses of the Dixie Sight
seeing Company met the train
in Washington and transferred
the ladies along the most in
teresting and unique New Jer
sey Turnpike to Hotel Edison
near Times Square. Comfor
table, air - conditioned rooms
were never more welcomed
than when this group claimed
them at four-thiry that Friday
afternoon, June 23. A. few dar
ed to stretch out for a nap
while others raced around the
corner on a brief shopping
spree.
Promptly at six-forty-five,
everyone assembled for a de
lightful trip to Jones Beach at
Wantagh. Long Island. “The
Legend of Paradise Island”, a
Hawaiian Musical Fantasy
presented by Guy Lombardo
at the Marine Amphitheatre,
was an out-of-this-world pro
duction in beauty and presen
tation. Exotic music and multi
farious costumes liter a 11 y
transformed the stage into a
realistic island paradise.
Mr. Beard warned ladies to
take along their warmest wrsps,
and some took him at his word.
Others, thinging a sheer stole
would suffice in that New
York evening air, soon resort
ed to the comforts of the bus,
and thus missed a memorable
exoerience.
Mornings always come earl
ier than usual on such trips, or
so it seems, for eight o’clock
arrived too soon after bedtime
for most ladies’ comfort. After
all. some of the group were
eating dinner for Friday at one
thirty Saturday morning. (Mrs.
Hertwig and Mrs. Crowell in
trying to curtail individual
expenses forgot to allow time
for one essential, namely
EATING.)
A three hour Gray Line Bus
Tour of Manhattan Island in
cluded a walking tour to a
Confucius Temple in China
town and a fascinating tour of
the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine. There was the trip
down Bridal Row with its ex
quisite wedding gowns right
next door to the heartbreak
and dissipation of the Bowery.
There were views of the Em
pire State Building from va
rious parts of the city,
the sites of the Metropo
litan Opera House and Grant’s
T omb and Madison Souare
Garden, the glimpses of Gim
bal’s and Macy's and Tiffanv’s,
and the hurried glances at Co
lumbia University and Belle- |
vue Hospital and Julliard
School of Music. A ride along
the waterfront by the Fulton
Fish Markets and the Battery
brought the group to Pier 33
for a thrilling three hour Cir
cle Line Tour around Man
hattan Island.
Torrential rains fell as ladies
boarded the boat, but undaunt
ed and excited, they bought
hot dogs, Cokes, potato chips,
and candy and settled back in
comfortable deck chairs in a
glass-enclosed salon to see
thirty-five miles of sights.
Twenty-nine bridges, outstand
ing buildings and spires, fam
ous homes, quaint little river
boat “homes”, Yankee Stadi
um, and the Statue of Liberty
were pointed out. Tourists
donned raincoats and braved
brisk breezes to personally
snap “close-ups” of the latter.
Eyes widened and sometimes
stung from looking as New
York City passed in gorgeous,
indescribable panorama.
Precious hours were selected
for shopping on fashionable
Fifth Avenue and Thirty-four
th Street, but most ladies re
turned to the hotel comparing
the department stores to At
lanta’s Rich’s and Davison’s.
Those in New York did not
even begin to compare in beau
tv nor merchandise, they
thought. (That was one way
to save money for other pur
poses, perhaps.)
Dressed in their frocks with
frills, the ladies united again
to visit the famed Radio City
Music Hall as the first event
of the evening’s full schedule.
The performance of the Rock
ettes measured up to all ex
pectations, and the hall itself
was a spectacle worth seeing
anytime. “The Pleasure of His
Company” starring Fred
Astaire, Debbie Reynolds. Lilli
Palmer, and Tab Hunter was
altogether entertaining, color
ful, and relaxing.
Albert’s French Restaurant,
a quaint old landmark in
Greenwich Village, with an
unusual atmosphere was se
lected for dinner at ten-thirty.
Their steaks were veritable
specimens of rare food! Lovely
gifts were presented to the
Project Chairmen.
No trip to New York could
be complete without a subway
ride. Thinking he would have
a few to join him, the guide
announced an intended trip
enroute home after dinner.
About half of the party shared
in this thrill. Some wondered
if he hoped to muffle their
animation with the noisy ride.
But, what is more alive than
a New York local at midnight.
Special arrangements for a
tour of the United Nations
Building on Sunday morning
enabled the ladies to visit the
Prayer Room when their own
families at home were worship
ping. Its stark simplicity and
sacredness unequalled any
where was most impressive in
such an ultramodern building.
Two attractive guides, one a
native of India dressed in a
beautiful blue and white sari,
enlivened history and reminded
all of the world neighborhood
in which they live.
Finally, the Empire State
Building Observatory on the
102nd floor awaited their visit.
It was a “must” for these
tourists who had been seeing
this Bth Wonder of the World
from a distance for three days.
It was nicknamed "Mrs. Clus
sie Jaynes’ Ruby Falls”.
Glamorous and fabulous New
York soon lay behind with its
eight million people as the two
chartered busses sped along the
highway back to Washington,
D. C., stopping only for a brief
lunch at Newcastle, Delaware.
Settling on the Silver Comet
at four-ten, ladies began to ex
change opinions and plan next
year’s trip. Mrs. Hertwig
thought this a fitting time to I
present a gift of appreciatior
to the guide, Mr. Beard.
Talk of food sounded goo<
and in shifts, the women ate
delicious meal leisurely aboan
the diner.
Copies of The New York
Times were unfolded to reveal ,
two page stories of Georgia’s
own Peggy Mitchell and the
anniversary of “Gone With
The Wind”.
Quite a few ladies doffed
heels and hose for bedroom
slinners for the long ride home.
“What an exoerience to re
live for the families and grand
children,” one lady was heard
to say. “What an experience
to think about when I can”
sleep nights,” chimed in the
club secretary.

VA Loan Wait
List May Be
Eliminated
A quarterly allotment of $3,-
767,000 for direct VA home
loans has been received by the
Atlanta Regional Office of the
Veterans Administration. The
amount is a huge increase over
the sum anticipated, Pete
Wheeler, Director of the Geor
gia Department of Veterans
Service, reports.
The sum, which is about one
and-a-half million dollars
more than expected, may com
pletely eliminate the long wait
ing list for direct VA home
loans in Georgia, Mr. Wheeler
stated.
The waiting list for such
loans had recently climbed to
near 1,000 veterans, causing
vets to wait several months to
secure a home loan.
Under the VA Direct Loan
Program, the veteran borrows
money directly from the VA to
acauire a home in any area
where monev is considered un
available from institutional
lenders for VA - guaranteed
loans.
None of this allotment will
be for so-called “builders com
mitments”, but will be used
entirely for loans to individual
veterans.
Meanwhile, recent Congres
sional action has increased the
maximum VA home loan from
$13,500 to $15,000 and extend
ed the deadline for veterans
seeking such loans. World
War II veterans now have at
least until July 25, 1962, or
longer, to apply for such loans,
and Korean veterans have at
least until January 31, 1965.
