steam, the Stone Mountain
Scenic Railroad made history
recently as the conductor
shouted. “All aboard, we’re
goin’ ’round the mountain.’’
This was a momentous occa
sion. for many long-time resi
dents of the Stone Mountain
area had argued steadily that
the train would never see that
mysterious “other side of the
mountain’’ where nary a settler
and few, if any, Indians had
passed.
This master feat of engineer
ing has now opened the way for
visitors to enjoy a thrilling
show-trip that completely en
circles the base of the gigantic
granite mountain. Down
through “Boulder Gulch”, up at
tree-top height above the
depths of “No Man’s Valley”,
along past “Buzzard’s Roost”,
the train chugs its way around
. . . sometimes clinging to a
right-of-way blasted into the
very face of the rock, some
times soaring 50 and 60 feet
high on its built-up roadbed.
Down the track from Mem
orial Station, the train steams
past replicas of an old Farmer’s
Market, a Cotton Warehouse
and a teepeed Indian village. A
short ways further comes the
highlight of the showtrip . . .
the full-scale Indian attack at
the town of “Big Shanty”. Mid
st the roar of cannons, the
train screeches to a stop and
Southern Belles, trainmen and
“Indians” are thrown together
in an action-packed free-for
all that never fails to capture
the imagination of young and
old alike.
After the fire and fury sub
side, the train continues down
the track towards the comple
tion of its journey, pulled by
one of two full-sized, smoke
belching steam engines - the
General II and the Texas II -
replicas of the famous Civil
War Engines.
The Stone Mountain Scenic
Railroad is one of the most
exciting attractions to be found
at this fabulous Georgia land
mark. Special attention has
been given to recreating the at
mosphere of the Civil war era
in every way. In addition, to
the careful detail of the en
gines and the true-to-life ap
pearance of “Big Shanty” town
-- and the mock attack that
takes place there -- both the
costumes of the performers and
the architecture of the Railroad
buildings have been tailored to
ante-bellum days.
The stations where tickets,
snacks and souvenirs may be
purchased, were built in keep
ing with 19th century architec
ture. Passenger cars are a bril
liant yellow and feature old-

timey observation platforms
with black guard rails and
revive the spirit and color of
overhanging roofs.
In addition, there is a shiny
red caboose that stands along
side Memorial Station almost at
the foot of the Unfinished
Carving. This colorful caboose
doubles as a ticket office and
an attractive backdrop for
photo mementos of a visit to
the Mountain.
Mr. Wilbur Kurtz, Sr., noted
Geo-gia painter-historian, acted
as technical advisor for the
Scenic Railroad and supervised
the redesigning of both cars
and engines. He also rendered
the interesting Civil War story
cards that are on display in
each of the passenger coaches
to tell the story of the original
encounter between the General
and the Texas.
The General II is a rebuilt
Baldwin 404 steam engine with
black boiler section, brass and
chrome fittings, red cow-catch
er and red and white wheels.
It was obtained from a private
collection of antique engines in
Louisiana. The Texas II is a
somewhat larger engine that is
similarly decked-out in brilli
ant colors. Both engines and
coaches are of standard guage
and feature the most up-to
date safety equipment to insure
maximum safety equal to trans
continental railroad standards.
Enough nitrogen in the soil
during dry years will help corn
plants use available moisture
more efficientiv. according to
County Agent Ed Hunt.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
U. Ga. Center
Expects 2,000
During October
ATHENS, Ga.—The Center
for Continuing Education at
the University of Georgia will
have one -a - day conferences
during October.
There are 31 conferences
scheduled at the Center for
this 31-day month. Because all
of them last longer than one
day the Center will be head
quarters for two, three, or
more conferences at once all
month long. In all. about 2000
people are expected to register
for them.
There is something on the
schedule to suit many a taste.
There are short courses for
trial judges and for judges of
juvenile courts, for county
commissioners and soli c it o r s
general, for school teachers and
poultry growers.
Georgia nurserymen and
flower growers will meet early
in the month. Later there is a
course for veterinarians on the
latest methods in equine prac
tice.
Many Georgians who are in
terested in the progress of the
two largest colleges in the state
will be here for the special
conference of the Tech-Georgia
Development Fund Oct. 4—and
University alumni will be back
on campus the week end of
Oct. 11-12 for the first Alumni
Seminar.
And there's no escape from
taxes, even in the matter of
short courses. No less than
three courses for advanced
“tax technicians” are on tthe
Center's October calendar.
Chimps Like Money Too
Chimpanzees at Emory Uni

have proved that they are a lot
like humans about money. Re
warded for performance with
discs that buy bananas at the

money carefully. If kept from
spending too long they get
quite neurotic. The chimp-o
mat is one of many studies in
behavior conducted at the
center.

Domestic Help
Needs SS Number ;
A word of caution to housewives
came today from Mr. Rawls, dis
trict manager here for social se
curity. According to Mr. Rawls,
many housewives do not know
that their maids, cooks, garden
ers. and other household help are
covered by social security. Some
housewives in the Atlanta area
have had to pay up back social
security taxes, plus interest and
penalty because they failed to
make social security reports on
time.
Mr. Rawls emphasized that so
cial security coverage for house
hold workers is not optional. “If ;
the worker is paid SSO a quarter
by one employer, she's under so
cial security.” he said. He cited
the recent case of a cleaning wo
man who worked only one day
a week. Although she worked for
one family only, and made only
$4 a day. this was enough to bring
her work under social security.
Since there are 13 weeks in a
calendar quarter, she was paid
$52 a quarter. Her employer must
make a report at the end of each
quarter and send in the social
security tax on the wages.
Social security reports for July.
August. September quarter are
due by October 31. The reports go
to the District Director of Inter
■ nal Revenue in Atlanta. House
wives get the report forms after
they fill out and mail a postcard '
form available at the Atlanta So- ,
cil Security Office.
Mr. Rawls pointed out that the
tax is shared equally by the house
wife and the worker. The tax for
each is 3 5 8%. The housewife de- j
ducts the worker’s tax from her
pay and sends a check for the
total tax with the re[»rt.
