Textile Group
To Push Tech-
Ga. Fund Drive
One of Georgia’s pioneer or
ganizations in the field of aid
to higher education this week
announced its second season of
all-out support of the Joint
Tech - Georgia Development
Fund Campaign.
Hansford Sams. Jr., treasur
er of Atlanta’s Whittier Mills
and president of the Textile
Education Foundation, Inc.,
said his group has organized a
vigorous drive to encourage its
members to contribute to t h e
Joint Fund.
Mr. Sams said the Textile
Education Foundation has con
tributed more than half a mil
lion dollars to the development
of Georgia Tech’s A. French
Textile School since 1943, and
“recognizes from experience the
practical value of investing in
facilities and personnel to im
prove the training of the stu
dents in the textile field.”

Fund was organized in 1956
to raise funds with which to
supplement faculty salaries at
Georgia Tech and the Univer-
I sity of Georgia. Unrestricted
gifts to the Fund are divided
; equally between the Georgia
Tech Foundation and the Uni
versity of Georgia Foundation.
, Gifts for the exclusive use of
either school may be made
’ through the Fund.
In 1960, according to Mr.
,। Sams, Georgia textile compan
ies gave $75,049 of the total of
• $280,000 raised. Joint Fund of
ficials set an overall goal of
$325,000 in 1961 and a long -
range goal of $1,000,000 each
year by 1965.
Mr. Sams said that the Tex
tile Foundation’s drive in sup
port of the Fund will be con
ducted by a committee consist
ing of Morris M. Bryan, Jr.,
, Jefferson, chairman and Julian
T. Hightower, Thomaston and
John P. Baum, Milledgeville.
Mr. Bryan, who is president
lof the Jefferson Mills, Inc.
j pointed out that a textile gra
' duate from Georgia Tech will
I receive 70 per cent of his train
, i ing in subjects other than tex-
I tiles.
He commented, “It makes
good sense for our industry to
support a program that will im
prove the textile student’s pro-
Georgia Hopes To Get Plant
That Will Employ 8,000
Georgia’s parade of pro
gress appears to be moving at
a faster cadence on the indus
trial front. Here are some
signs:
New jobs for 1,916 Geor
gians were added to the state’s
industrial payroll during the
first six months of 1961 through
the establishment of 49 new
ficiency in mathematics, En
glish, humanities, basic scien
ces and other subjects essential
to a well-rounded education.”
“Also”, he added, “Our in
dustry needs engineering talent
in the electrical, chemical and
other fields as well as textiles;
and we also employ account
graduates, personnel managers,
public relations and other spec
ialists who must come from
schools such as the University
of Georgia.”
“Any support the textile in
dustry gives to the Joint Fund,”
Mr. Bryan said, “will help now
to alleviate some very serious
problems at our two largest
schools and will definitely add
to their capacity for service in
the years ahead,” Mr. Bryan
concluded.
Georgia’s textile industry em
ploys some 95,000 workers and
its plants are located in more
than 100 cities and towns. Tex
tile products made in Georgia
in 1960 had a value of more
than $1,350,000,000 (billion),
according to Mr. Sams.

In all the Air Force will spend
$425 million for new aircraft

The new buildup will give the

industrial operations in 37
counties, according to the
Georgia Department of Com
merce.
The combined payrolls of
these new operations is esti
mated at $7.9 million annually.
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, in
commenting on the report, was
optimistic not only about the
present but the future. For ex
ample, he said the prospects
are “excellent” for adding up
to 8.000 more jobs through the
establishment of a huge new
industry in Georgia.
The Governor and State
Commerce Director Jack J.
Minter recently went to Wash
ington to call on company offi
cials and to solicit aid from
members of Georgia’s congres
sional delegation in seeking the
plant for Georgia.
Upon his return, Gov. Van
diver declined to identify the
company by name since sever
al other state are bidding for
it too. However, subsequent
news dispatches out of Wash
ington identified the prospect
as the Thiokol Chemical Corp.,
which possibly will manufac
ture the solid - fuel Nova roc
ket.
The proposed new plant will
employ about 800 persons at
the outset and eventually have
a payroll of 8,000, according to
the reports.
If Georgia Is successful in
obtaining the plant it would
be the second largest in t h e
state next to Lockheed Air
craft Corp.’s Marietta plant.

all the Canyon Parks.
Earliest pioneers of Bryce
Canyon were the Basketmaker
Indians, whose habitation dated
from the time of Christ until
about 700 A.D., according to
archeologists, whose discoveries
reveal objects of fur and bask
ets buried with the dead in dry
caves. In the Paria River val
ley below the Pink Cliffs, bur
ials of these people indicate
that man was familiar with this
area at the time of the fall of
Rome.
Later, Pueblo Indians lived
along the Paria River: and then
came the peaceful Paiutes, who
unemotionally named the can
yon. “Unka-timpe -wa - wince
pockich”, meaning “Red rocks
standing like men in a bowl
shaped canyon’’.
Bryce is the baby of the
canyon family — estimated at
only 60 million years old. In
land lakes and seas started lay
ing down upon this area de
posits of silt, sand and lime
in beds as much as 2,000 ft.
thick. These deposits covered
preexisting rock beds 12.000 ft.
thick, which are today exposed
in the wall of Grand and Zion
Canyons.
Following the Bryce strata
deposits, estimated to have
ended 13 million years ago,
lands of southern Utah rose
from what was then sea level
to heights of 10,000 ft. During
this gradual elevation, pro
duced by powerful pressure
from within the earth, great
beds of rock were broken into
huge blocks many miles in
length and width. These “push
ups” of nature, known as
“faults”, effected large pla
teaux.
Erosional forces during the
centuries. such as alternate
freezing and thawing of water
in the rock crevices, plant roots
forcing themselves deeper into
the cracks, and atmospheric
chemicals, all helped to decom
pose and break up the seemingly
solid rock, thereby effecting
surface feature changes.
Variation in the hardness and
I softness of rock layers is re
i sponsible for the numberless
। formations in every conceivable
i design.
Fur trappers explored the
, canyon from 1800 to 1850. fol
i lowed by Mormon scouts; but
! Maj. J. W. Powell and his geo-
I grapher. A. H. Thompson first
described Bryce in 1871. The
canyon was named for Ebene
zer Bryce, a cattle rancher and
Mormon who settled near the
' end of the great horseshoe
shaued. amohitheater, which is
i carved a thousand ft. deep in-
to the pink and white lime
stone. It is approximately 2
miles wide and 3 miles long.
“Fantasia”, as some one
named Bryce, would truly not
be a misnomer. As the two of
us stood on Sunrise Point, in
reverent silence, gazing upon
the myriads of spires, minarets,
cathedrals, castles, bridges, and
figurines, the sun’s questing
rays picked up the base ma
genta, vermillion, cerice, or
ange, crimson, lavender, pink,
yellow, cream and chalk white,
in a kalaidescope of tones in
to hues, and the canyon burst
into flaming glowing beauty.
One could sense the presence
of the Greatest Sculptor of all.
“How Great Thou Art” caught
and held our thoughts; and we
were not surprised when our
beloved companion started
quietly repeating the 19th
Psalm, “The Heavens declare
the Glory of God, The Firma
ment showeth His Handiwork”
We were loathe to leave, but.
there were other points of
magnetic beauty to be seen in
the 56 mile square phenomena
of fantastic formations. Among
these were Rainbow Point, Sun
set Point, Inspiration Point,
Bryce, Far View Points, Queen
Gardens, Silent City. Natural
Bridge, Wall of Windows,
where erosion has carved ar
chitecturally beautiful win
dows in walls of the Wasatch
limestone; Fairyland View, and
many others.
Another “Sing-Away” by
college student personnel saw
us aboard the bus for Cedar
Breaks National Monument.
We are still wondering why the
dis patc he r courteously but
firmly advised us we were on
the wrong bus, and insisted it
was the next one! It has to
happen on every trip, sooner or
later, so we obediently switch
ed baggage—much to our re
gret. However, had we not
made HIS mistake, we would
have missed a real taste of the
Old West, which we shall re
late later.
Along the highway were
more of the stately pinyon pines
and junipers, as well as the
prince of them all. the ponde
rosa pine, limber and bristle
cone pines, and Douglas firs.
The yellow evening primrose,
Indian paintbrush, blue pen
stemon, sego lily, blue flax,
blue columbine, manzanita,
and western yarrow were
everywhere in evidence. Deer,
marmots, porcupines, ground
squirrels and chipmunks could
be spotted by the close observ
ers; and mountain bluebirds,
an abundance of ravens, hum
mingbirds swifts, pays, and the
violet-green swallows, who de
light in putting on a veritable
Air-Show in acrobatic flying,
kept everyone watching for
them.
“Circle of Painted Cliffs”
was the descriptive name given
Cedar Breaks by the Indians.
Covering 60 square miles, the
vast amphitheatre is eroded to
a depth of 2.000 ft., with yawn
ing labyrinths and thousands
of grotesque and magnificent
architectural forms in pink,
terracotta, orange, yellow,
rose, mulberry, purple and
chocolate. Some say Cedar
Breaks is the greatest of Utah’s
painted amphitheatres; in any
event, one does not doubt na
ture’s lavish hand in beauty
and wild grandeur.
At lunch at Cedar Breaks
lodge, we enjoyed one of the
trip’s most unique experiences
in being seated with, a teacher
from England, a French teach
er from Paris, France, two Au
stralian ranch owners; and a
college student from Utah. Al
so on our bus was a young man
from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Upon reaching Cedar City.
Utah, we learned we had just
missed our train, which we
would have made, had we not
let the dispatcher out talk us!
The bus driver kindly offered
to move up his schedule and
try to catch the train in Lund.
All the passengers agreed, so
across the desert we hastened
in record time, arriving in
Lund just in time to see the
train pulling out! So, it was
right back across those burn
ing sands and sagebrush. Occa
sionally, as if by magic, a
verdent, prosperous farm would
loom into view. We asked
HOW? The driver explained
the irrigation system, which
was rather intricate. He also
explained that it was in that
capacity he served his “Mis
sion”, to which all Mormons
are dedicated for two years,
without compensation, upon a
call from the Bishop.
No taxicabs in Cedar city,
but a kindly station agent took
us to the small hotel from
which the bus would leave the
next morning. We shall never
forget Cedar City, not only for
the helpfulness and courtesy of
some of its citizens: but for an
other experience, which is an
other story! |
