NEWTON
MEMORIES
(Editor’s Note — This is the
final column written by Mr.
Martin prior to his death).
« » • *
The announcement of t h e
Newton County Fair, October
2-7, rings a nostalgic note.
Doubtless there are many resi
dents still in the county who
remember that, years ago, large
tents were erected in Oxford
for the diversified school ex
hibits. Arts and crafts showing
the various skills of the school
children were on display. Si
multaneously, literary contests
were held. All in all, keen in
terest was stimulated and the
affair was supported by the
entire County School System.
Visitors came from surround
ing counties for this occasion,
usually held in May.
In the Fall, Corn Club mem
bers brought their harvest for
exhibit at the Court House. This
attracted wide attention. The
movement proved worthy and
wide-spread and eventually de
veloped into the far-reaching
4-H Club of today.
Fairs in the Fall, through the
years have provided means for
exhibitors to improve the
standards of the appearance,
and quality of their products.
In spite of a trend toward
the shifting population from
rural to urban, agriculture re
mains vital. According to re
cently released government fi
gures, Government figures,
Georgia farmers had a gross
income of $897 million in 1960.
Agriculture will be in t h e
spotlight at the Southeastern
Fair the 47th opening Septem
ber 28th. Industry and educa
tion will be well represented,
also.
Among the unusual exhibits
of this Miracle Age, will be the
historic “Freedom 7” space cap
sule which took Commander
Alan Shephard on his astro
naut journey into outer space
to be displayed by the Armed
Forces.
I understand a simulated trip
into outer space has been ar
ranged by the U. S. Air Force’s
“Space Adventure.”
All kinds of thrills, chills and
excitement are promised at
this ultra-modern fair.
Pecans may be satisfactorily
stored under refrigeration at
home for year-round consump
tion, says Extension Food Pre
servation Specialist Miss Nelle
Thrash.

are to be commended for t h e
splendid showing they made
against rather heavy odds, at
times. But, over and above
“who won or lost”, they de
serve a big hand for the fine
spirit of sportsmanship they
maintained in victory or de
feat. This they will be able to
carry with them into their fu
ture careers.
A check up visit for our bet
ter half at Emory Hospital gave
us an opportunity of seeing our
brother, Belmont Dennis and
our Sister. It was good to find
they were “moving up in the
world”! Doctors had dismissed
Bubba from the third floor, and
he is now recuperating on the
6th floor, where he is making
satisfactory progress.
Many friends are happy to
learn that Mrs. S. L. Waites
has been permitted to return
home from Emory; and that
Mrs. Ruby Barnes, who has
been a patient there for some
time, is reported improving af
ter major surgery.
We have a treat in store for
us again tonight, when Newton
Community Theater headed by
Mrs. R. P. Campbell, will again
present their three one - act
plays at Newton High Auditor
ium. The plays, with the initial
presentation on Wednesday
evening, made a tremendous
hit; and are guaranteed as first
rate comedy. Moreover, with
the theme, “Three for 64”, we
should have a sell-out. Why?
Because, that is just what New
ton Community Theater is do
ing - presenting the three plays
for the benefit of 64 Blue Ram
bler Band Members! Few of us
realize the vast outlay of ex
pense involved in the mainten
ance of a top-notch Band. Not
only is there the cost of high
priced musical instruments, but
their upkeep and repair; as
well as uniforms, trip expen
ses, etc. We join countless others
interested in the promotion of
the Blue Ramblers in express
ing our sincere appreciation to
the Theater Group and their
chairman, Mrs. Campbell for
this fine contribution to t h e
Band!
If you have not already at
tended the initial performance,
then we hope to join you
tonight (Thursday) in support
ing the Band by our presence,
and showing our gratitude to
Newton Community Theater,

Textile Foundation Gifts To
Ga. Tech Reach Half-Million
A record of contributions to
higher education totaling more
than $500,000 since 1943 wa>
d'sclosed at the 1961 Annual
Meeting of the Textile Educa
tion Foundation at Georgia
Tech Saturday.
Hansford Sams, Jr., treasur
er of Atlanta’s Whittier Mills,
Inc., and president of the
Foundation, reviewed in his
report the many gifts and sup
plements through which the A.
French Textile School and oth
er Georgia Tech activities have
received $515,889.06 since the
organization was established
during World War 11.
Mr. Sams said the largest
category of expense has been
the purchase of machinery and
equipment for the school’s
manufacturing chemical and
testing laboratories. In all,
$244,689.28 have been spent for
these purposes, Mr. Sams said.
He pointed out that the
state's appropriations for the
then new textile school build
ing in 1948 provided an in
adequate sum for equipment
and the industry, through the
Foundation, assumed this re
sponsibility.
The Foundation started sup
plementing salaries of textile
school faculty members as ear
ly as 1945, and $73,876.50 was
spent for this purpose througn
June of this year, Mr. Sams
said. He explained that textile
school salary supplements have
now been assumed by the Geor
gia Tech Foundation.
A total of $67,272.01 of Foun
dation funds have gone for
scholarships since the Schol
arship Plan was established in
1952, Mr. Sams said. Among
the special guests at the meet
ing were the 22 textile school
students currently receiving
Foundation assistance.
Since 1951, the Foundation
has made available to the tex
tile school faculty $12,529.58
for traveling expenses. Mr. Sams
said this has been a supple
ment to normal allowances by
Georgia Tech and has been
provided to enable faculty
members to stay in close touch
with the Georgia mills and to
attend professional meetings
and seminars.
The Foundation has support
ed the two-year textile tech
nology program at Southern
Technical Institute with $16,-
241.23 in appropriations in the
four years this course has been

offered, Mr. Sams said. South
ern Tech is a unit of Georgia
Tech's Engineering Extension
Division.
In 1959 and 1960, the Foun
dation spent $10,186.23 on
furnishings and decorations for
the foyer of the W. Harrison
Hightower Building, which
houses the textile school. In
cluded in this project are four
carpeted lounge areas with
chairs, sofas, tables, etc. and
an educational exhibit depict
ing textile history and the im
portance of the textile industry
in Georgia. The same exhibit
area has facilities for Georgia
textile manufacturers to dis
play their products.
Some of the other major ex
pense areas mentioned by Mr.
Sams were: industrial relations
textbook — $16,647.31; voca
tional education program—s7,-
197.27; printed materials and
other promotional and student
recruiting activities—slo,7Bl.-
71; and research projects—s4,-
687.26.
One of the more important
research activities financed by
the Foundation was the build
ing of a pilot plant for the
evaluation of a new method of
treating textile waste products
that must be discharged into
streams. Mr. Sams said that
this project is still being work
ed on by Georgia Tech research
personnel.
Mr. Sams said that all but
a small fraction of the Foun
dation’s gifts have come from
income derived from the orig
inal trust fund raised by the
mills in 1943 and 1944. The
fund’s investments have a cur
rent market value of approxi
mately $1,000,000.
“Through the Foundation’s
assistance and contributions”,
Mr. Sams said, “Georgia Tech’s
A. French Textile School has
been developed into one of the
finest institutions of its kind
in the nation. We are proud to
have played a part in making
these fine facilities available
for the training of future lead
ers of the state’s largest in
dustry.”
New directors elected were:
Fuller E. Callaway, LaGrange;
David Hamilton, Dalton; S.
Wayne Hempstead, Thomaston;
and W. C. Vereen, Jr., Moul
