Heaven's to Betsy! They left
out the Yellow River in our
own Newton County. I always
urged Mr. Dennis to write our
congressmen, senators, the
Governor and the President
.... to open up the Yellow
River so we could come home
on our boat. Just think how
much money we could save
taxpayers if we could get in
our row boat and paddle up,
safely, to Atlanta . . Sure we
would not be wearing out the
highways ... I think it would
take us right through Snap
Finger Creek . . . Highways
would not be so dangerous; in
come of boat dealers would be
greater, new Marine stores and
boat builders would locate in
this section . . . but WE have
the purest water in the south
here now ... if industry does
not take care of pollution . .
then we'd rather just stay “un
polluted.” But there is another
advantage . . . your under-age
drivers would not be on the
highways . . they would be
skiing . . swimming, paddling
their own canoe . . and so help
me they would not get into as
much trouble . . a few might
drown . . unless Mother taught
them to swim before she let
them go near the water . . . but
no more smashed up cars . . .
highway crashes by young
people. The Water would be
where they would go for fun.
■ But the year 2000, that has me
sorter thinkin’ some of us
might not be here then to en
joy seeing the fun on the river
... Folks! Can’t you rush that
up just a wee bit!
Mansfield is a fine town, and
how could it help being! They
have had as their mayor for
more than a quarter of a cen
tury (I believe it is about 28
years) I know I'm not right
but its 25 I know . . . one of
the finest men we know in
Georgia as it's Mayor . . . Mr.
Ethridge Hays, Sr. The Hays
family has helped to make this
county what'it is today ... in
business, agriculture, education
and I just can't name every
field . . .
Another favorite Mayor in
Newton County is one who has
come back into office at Ox
ford ... we know and love
everybody in Oxford . . but Mr.
and Mrs. “Azalea Jackson”,
I Well they are just the finest . .
and we know more about his
Azalea growing than we do
anything else ... he is a fine
mayor, they have the loveliest
gardens in this section . . and
their place is a show place in
the spring.
We have a fine new young
mayor in Covington too . . . Mr.
Walker Harris .... Well I
know we are going to town
now with our street paving . . .
OH that reminds me . . . Did
you know we . . just me . . .
got STUCK in the mud right
in front of the City Hall late
Saturday afternoon . . Sure I
was alone . . and just about one
block in front of City Hall . .

closed . . there I sat . . I was

around the cemetery . . . Let's
see that this sacred place, with
its driveway* in this condition,
has paved passage way for
loved ones to drive thru; for
visitors to see; for people

down some 10 floors. They
made it safely.
The main entrance to the
hotel was on Adams Street and
much of the life-saving equip
ment was set up there. Ladders
were thrown up from fire
trucks to floors through the
Bth. Smoke boiled out from all
floors from the third up to the
12th.
After approximately an hour
Navy helicopters started res
cuing people from atop the
hotel. They would take a load
of some five or six persons to
a parking lot a block away
where ambulances were wait
ing to take them to hospitals.
At least four Navy helicopters
were being used.
Many guests trapped in their
rooms on the upper floors were
screaming to folks below, some
who had acquaintances stand
ing on the street below.
The fire is believed to have
started on one of the lower
floors of the hotel. Smoke fill
ed most of the upper floors in
a matter of minutes.

American history is still
often taught as if the rest of the
world were an unpleasant em

to create an artificial stage for
our history to unfold upon,

department and division of

meetings annually to keep high
