Stone Mountain Carving to Get
Sculptor for Job Completion
Six internationally known ;
figures in the world of art will I
be in Atlanta next week to j
help select a sculptor for a
perpetual memorial to the ।
Confederacy on Historic Stone
Mountain.
i
Lamar Dodd. Chairman of
the Stone Mountain Memorial
Sculptor Advisory Committee
announced that the six jurors ;
will evaluate models of pro
posed memorials executed by,
nine famous sculptors. The ar- ■
tists will be identified with
public unveiling later this
month of the models on which
tney have worked for more
than a year.
The memorial may be com
p’etion or replacement of the
long unfinished, mammoth
carving of Confederate gener
al on the nearly sheer face of
the mountain or it may take
another form. A recommenda
tion by the committee on the
selection of sculptor and me
morial will be submitted to the
Stone Mountain Memorial As
sociation for final decision.
On the jury committee, in
addition to Chairman Dodd,
who heads the art department
of the University of Georgia,
Athens, are: Lloyd Goodrich,
director, Whitney Museum of
American Art, New York; Paul
Manship, sculptor, New York;
Henry Marceau, Philadelphia
Museum of Art; John Walker,
director, National Gallery of
Art, Washington; and William
Zorach, sculptor, Brooklyn.
“Each of the jurors occupies ■
in his own right a unique po
sition in the field of art in our
nation, and indeed the world,”
Mr. Dood said. “Not only are
they well informed on art ob- I
jects, but they also know the |
meaning of monuments and
their rightful place in a socie
ty.”
Matt L. McWhorter of At
lanta, chairman of the seven
man board of commissioners of;
the Stone Mountain Memorial
Association, said that work on
a new monument probably will
get under way early in 1963.
This will be the third at-!
tempt to create a memorial to
the Confederacy, and the first
effort since the 1920’5. Gutzon
Borglum partially executed
one great carving, which was
replaced by another carved by
Augustus Lukeman but aban
doned before completion be
cause of lack of funds.
“This effort will succeed,”
Mr. McWhorter stated, noting
that the park and the recrea- i
tional - educational facilities I

Soil Conservation Essay Contests
Teach Youth Love of Our Land
By John H. Hall
(Chamber of Commerce)
All America has become in
creasingly more “Conservation
Conscious” in the past few years
as we begin to wake up to the fact
that our precious natural resour
ces are being depleted at an
alarming rate. In many respects,
Georgia is among the top States in
the Nation in her efforts to con
serve and develop her soil and
water. A great deal of the credit
for this is due to our junior citi
zens. who are learning and prac
ticing active conservation.
Practicing good conservation is
largely a matter of using good
common sense. Most of us attach
very little value to a single pen
ny. But only one hundred pennies
are required to make a dollar,
and almost everyone knows the
worth of a dollar. So while we
wouldn't worry about the loss of a
COVINGTON. GEORGIA, THU
I penny, if they began disappearing
| by the bucketfull, it might result
1 in some concern. We are losing
our soil, not in bucketsfull, but in
, millions of tons!
Studies made in the last.* few
years have indicated more clear
ly the rate of our soil loss. In one
measured test, it was shown that
as much as 359 tons of soil ma
teria) has been lost from one acre
of unprotected road side in a
single year. There are an average
of five acres of road banks and
shoulders along every mile of
i our roads. Multiply this by t h e
I thousands of miles of roads and i
' highways in Georgia alone. Have I
, you noticed any raw, unprotected
' road banks in your travels late- '
ly?
Our young people are noticing
! them. . . and realizing that this
I is only one aspect of the rape of
( our land. They are seeing a job |
that needs to be done, and are
learning the ways to get it ac
complished. One very important :
way that a great many of them !
are learning is by participating in '
the annual Soil and Water Conser- .
vation Essay Contest.
Sponsored by the Georgia As
sociation of Soil Conservation Dis
trict Supervisors, and the Geor- ;
gia Bankers Association, an SBOO
scholarship prize is awarded each
year to the high school student
uniting the best essay on conser
vation. In addition, many prizes
are also awarded by local Soil 1
Conservation Districts to students
within their area. The prizes are
valuable, and the recognition
which the winners get. is valuable. |
But of inestimable worth is t h e
knowledge the students obtain
about the needs of our land
through researching their essay
projects.
This year, the assigned subject
for the contest is: “Soil And Wa- ■
ter Conservation Districts. A
Story of Service. . . Yesterday, ;
I Today. And Tomorrow.” The con
test is open to all white students in
grades 8 through 12 Research ma-

SCHOOL ECONOMY
The economy features of
“engineered wood” have made
an impression on cost consci
ous school planners.
Thousands of modern
schools, gymnasiums and audi
toriums are supported by struc
tures of glued laminated lum
ber combined with wood roof
decking. New adhesives of ex
ceptional strength are used in
the manufacture of the giant
wood structural sections.

Newspapers in Your Life
Newspapers make a BIG difference in peoples lives.
Newspapers place a record of the outstanding news
of the day in the hands of their readers. In this way
newspapers have a definite bearing on the public s
opinions on moral and civic issues of the day.
This power of the press and its product brings with
it tremendous responsibility to present fundamental
truths through factual reporting and prudent editor
ial comment.
Georgia's citizens are better educated today because
of our state's 235 newspapers.
Georgia's cities are better cities because her news
papers help create civic pride and an image of loyalty
and progress basic to growth.
Georgias government is better understood because
her newspapers are accepting their responsibility to
stimulate the interest and arouse the concern of the
average citizen in those issues which are broader than
his own little business and family circle.
Georgia’s economy is more secure because her news
papers spread their advertisers’ wares before Mr. Pub
lic’s eyes the better for him to buy.
Through the years Georgia's newspapers have al
tered the Georgia way of life by influencing the food
her citizens eat, the clothes we wear, the houses in
which we live and more important — the beliefs we
hold, the opinions we express — yes, even the dreams
we dream.
In our world that moves swifter than sound no other
media can compete with the newspaper in the depth
of news coverage presented. The written word is PER
MANENT — it is available for study and close scrutiny
at any time.
The challenge of today for newspapers is that the
power of (he press must be used responsibly, justly and
intelligently so that this power can remain the corner
stone of democracy. The newspapers of our great state
accept this challenge!
