GEORGIA HERITAGE—The Georgia Press Association was
founded on August 30, 1887, in a meeting of representatives of
25 weekly newspapers at Milledgeville. Although several news
paper men previously had suggested such an organization, the
credit for bringing the group together for the initial meeting
belongs to M. D. Irwin, editor of the Conyers Solid South. In
April of 1887 Mr. Irwin urged the weekly press of Georgia to
form an association similar to those existing in several other
states. Other editors took up the call, and the August meeting
in Milledgeville resulted in the formal establishment of the
“Georgia Weekly Press Association.” Mr. Irwin was elected first
president of the GWPA, and J. N. Moore of the Milledgeville
Union-Recorder, vice president. Other late 19th century Georgia
papers represented at the meeting in 1887 were: Athena Chron
icle, Atlanta Sunny South, Blackshear Georgian, Canton Ad
vance, Cartersville Courant-American, Conyers Weekly, Craw
fordville Democrat, Cumming Clarion, Cuthbert Liberal, Dublin
Post, Fairburn News, Franklin News, Greensboro Herald, Irwin

Extra Living Space
One of the most popular and ।
practical forms of home im
provement is attic remodeling.
However, some families are
fearful that in solving one
space problem they might
create another. What are they
going to do about storage once
the attic is converted to acco
modate sleeping quarters or a
family room?
Obviously, this is a souice of
concern for families who are
utilizing attics extensively for
storage. But the dilemma is not
insoluble. With proper plann
ing, the transformation can be
accomplished in, a manner that
provides ample storage space
as well as additional area for
family living.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, the shape of
the solution is indicated by the
contours of the attic itself. In
most instances, the attic ceil
ing slopes downward on both
sides of the roof apex. When
this descent reaches a certain
point, the distance between
ceiling and the attic floor falls
short of the headroom that a
living area requires.
This, in turn, suggests the
line of demarcation between
the new living quarters and
space to be reserved for stor
age.
The separation can be clearly
and efficiently established by
erecting walls at this point on
both sides of the attic. For this
purpose a simple framework
of lumber can be applied with
I a surface of wood paneling.
| Allowance can be made at cert
ain intervals of the wall for
large openings which provide
■ access to the storage area bey
' ond. These can be covered by
doors paneled with wood, like
the rest of the wall. As a re
sult, the doors, when closed,
are virtually indistinguishable
[ from the remainder of the sur
face, and there is attractive
harmony overall.
Such dividers, of course,
create the door for the new
living area. The warm, golden
glow of Southern Pine emb
races the room with a friendly,
sunshiny appeal. This species
has high resistance to blemish
or marring, and since it is pro-

Our first winter weekend
group of girls arrived on Fri
day 13th. The blacksmith was
ill and thus several of our best
horses were unable to go on
the trail. The Bull dogs lost to
the Rams —Patti lost the muf
fler off her “bug”—A heifer
got sick — Then it began to
rain! But in spite of all this
and partly due to the great re
cuperative powers of twelve
year old girls, everything was
just wonderful. The fourteen
mile ride to the covered bridge
on Saturday was although
slightly damp, jolly fun and
Sunday’s gymkhana was en
joyed by all. The girls depart
ed in a glow of good humor,
already begging parents to let
them come again, which all
goes to prove there's nothing
to this Friday 13th stuff, we
think as we give our rabbits
foot an extra stroke and look
forward to next weekend.
As beautiful as any fairy tale

perly seasoned, the walls re

Attic transformations are
ideal if your family is outgrow

COASTAL CLIMBING
There were 747,000 acres of
Coastal Bermuda grass in
Georgia at the beginning of this
year. J. R. Johnson, head of the
Extension agronomy depart
ment, says this is an increase of
75,000 acres over last year. Mr.
Johnson says the reason for
Coastal’s popularity is that it
out-performs other grasses in
both hay and grazing yields.
Narrow walks in a landscape
plan appear to be thin ribbons
in a green bed of grass. T. G.
Williams, head of the Coopera
tive Extension Service lands
cape department, says the walk
for a small house should be at
least 40 to 42 inches wide. The
walk around a large house and
spacious yard should be scaled
up considerably.

Scratching the
Health Surface
Everybody knows that the
ostrich -- strictly speaking —
is a bird-brain. Head in the
sand, he feels perfectly safe in
the notion that what he can’t
see, can't see him.
Is all that “just for the
birds”? Not at all! People
sometimes act ‘hat way, too. In
matters of health, for example,
many close their eyes to the
lurking danger of disease.
Many ignore warnings that a
medical checkup may be the
only way to catch a killer be
fore it’s too late.
Take tuberculosis, for inst
ance. At least thirty million
Americans are infected with
the TB germ right now. In the
great majority, the germ is in
active. But for at least 120,000
Americans active TB has
brought normal life to a halt.
As to how many others may be
in the same fix, nobody knows
— nobody can possibly know
without checking. And the best
way to check is through a tu
berculin skin test — or a chest
X-ray.
A tuberculin test does what
an ostrich doesn’t do. It tries
Thursday, September 19, 1963
to spot danger instead of ignor
ing it. A positive reaction to a
tuberculin test is a sign that
the TB germ has lodged in the
body and may (or may not) be
causing disease. The way to
determine whether disease is
present is to get a chest X-ray
which will show whether the
germ has become active and
started on a career of damage.
A negative reaction to the
tuberculin test, on the other
hand, is an “all clear” signal —
no TB germs in the body.
Doctors urge everyone to
have a tuberculin test or a
chest x-ray. Your doctor or
health department can admin
ister it. Don’t put it off-don t
be an ostrich!
