Wright. Tn 1910 they and their
only child, the late Mrs. John
(Ora Upshaw) Downs, moved
to Covington where he assum
ed duties as Covington School
Superintendent, and made their
home for the following 40
years, until the death of his
wife in 1950. Mrs. Downs also
preceded her father in death.
For several years following
his superintendency of the lo
cal school, Mr. Upshaw was of
| fice manager of Covington
Mills. During his Covington
residency he was an active
member of the First Baptist
Church, where he served as
deacon, S. S. Superintendent,
and teacher of the Estherian
S. S. Class for a number of
years. He also served on New
ton County's Board of Educa
tion; and engaged in dairy and
other agricultural pursuits.
Following his marriage to
Miss Brownie Perry in 1953,
Mr. Upshaw made his home
in Avondale Estates, where he
was a member of the Baptist
Church, and teacher of the
“Fishers of Men" Bible Class.
A gifted speaker, Mr. Up
shaw's deep and inherent love
of the soil and nature was re
flected in his teaching; and his
charitable and uncritical eval
uations of life and his fellow
man revealed a gentle philoso
phy which enhanced the joy
of living for others, as well as
his own.
Survivors include his widow;
four sisters, Mrs. W. K. Swann,
Mrs. H. F. Bonner, Atlanta;
Mrs. W. E. Broach, Charlotte,
N. C. and Mrs. Emory S. Hern

niece and nephew-, Mrs. Moody
Summers, Jr. and Howard
Spears.

Yankees Invade Georgia Again
This Time Ifs the Tourists
That is, suh, Georgia State
Parks —and all Georgia na
! tives are guilty of aiding, abet
ting. and harboring the “ene
j my”. This being 1963 and not
1863, the Yankees are wel
। corned and liked by Georgians,
not for economic reasons alone,
but because most of them are
just nice people. The feeling
seems to be mutual because
each year brings a larger num
ber of Yankees to Georgia dur
ing vacation time —some ad
mittedly on their way to
Florida, but others, many oth
ers, who like what they see in
Georgia and stay.
While our State Park facili
ties now compare favorably
with those in other states, it
is the goal of our State Parks
Department to make them the
finest in the nation. For the
CARD OF THANKS
We would, like to express our
sincere thanks to all our fri
ends of Covington Mills, who
were so nice to us during our
illness. Also many thanks to
those who gave blood. May the

I present, whatever is missing,
due to lack of wealth, is made i
up in “spit and polish”. Our j
parks may not be the largest |
and most complete but we try i
to make them the cleanest, and i
, our Park Superintendents di- j
, spense a brand of Southern |
1 Hospitality that is hard to;
: beat. As a result, those Yan- |
. ■ kees up there seem to like us. j
For example. Mr. and Mrs.
.: Duffey of Ohio have written,l
: “You have a wonderful park j
। at Fort Mountain and we |
| couldn’t ask for a nicer Park I
; Ranger. He was friendly, cour- ।
teous, and so very helpful:
when our trailer hitch broke.” j
From New Jersey, Mr. and ;
Mrs. Miller wrote us, “Al
though we spent only one!
night at Cloudland Canyon, we
all agreed that it was one of
j the nicest State Parks we vis
ited on our entire three months j
| tour of the United States.” Mrs. j
: Lumley of Colorado stated re
j cently, “I can say, without
qualification, that Che ha w
i State Park provided the best
! locale, services, atmosphere and
facilities of any campsite uti-
I lized during our 6,000-mile
' trip. In particular, please pass
(Be#t Coverage: News, Pictures and Features)
my thanks to the Superinten
dent and Custodian. A very
pleasant memory of the State
of Georgia remains with us."
A resident of Illinois, Mr.
McKinney, has informed us,
“Your park was the nicest and
certainly the most picturesque
park we camped in on our trip
to Florida. In fact, we stayed
over an extra day because we
enjoyed it so much. The camp
ing facilities, the wash rooms,
and the grounds were all kept
in very clean condition. The
Park Superintendent was very
courteous and went out of his
way to help us in any way he
could. We hope to go back
again and spend more time in
your fine state.”
This pat on the back from
Mrs. Curby, a Texan, is high
ly prized: "We are passing the
word along to friends and rel
atives that your parks are the
nicest we have seen in the
many states where we have
camped. Your Park Ranger
was so courteous and friendly
that it brightened our entire
trip.”
All this proves there is noth
ing better than being a friend
in order to make a friend. Yes,
suh! When a Georgian says
“Damn Yankee” these days
there's a smile on his face and
the words come out sounding
like “Dear Friend".

of their State Parks, the per-

During a lightning storm it is
wise to stay indoors or seek
shelter in a substantial building
or in your car if it has a closed
all-metal body. If out in open
country where no buildings or
thickly wooded groves can be
quickly reached, lie flat on the
ground Never stand under a
single isolated tree or near a
wire fence. If in swimming
or in an open boat, get to land
as quickly as possible.
