Mayors’ Motorcade
To Form Again
. .
For Milledgeville
The City of Covington will
participate this year in the ann
ual Mayors’ Motorcade to Cen~
tral State Hospital in Milledge
ville. The visit to Central State
will take place on December 11.
A Christmas tree lighting
ceremony on the lawn of the
Governor’s Mansion, will be held
at 8:00 p.m. on December 10
to commemorate the annual mot=
orcade, which is in its tenth
year. The event is sponsored by
Georgia Municipal Association.
According to Sylvester Mayor,
Thomas W, Lawhorne, Chairman
of GMA’S Mental Health Comm=-
ittee, last year’s event resulted
in around 40,000 gifts being col=-
lected for Central State Hospital,
Gracewood State School and Hos=
pital, and Southwestern State
Hospital.
Mayor Lawhorne said, ‘‘We
are making a special effort this
year to encourage more cities
to participate in this worthy
event, This program is one of
the best ways I know for Georgia
citizens to show the state’s men=
tal patients that they are not for=
gotten,”” While the Municipal
Association is officially spon=-
soring only the program at Mill=-
edgeville, gifts collected will also
be distributed to Gracewood
State School and Hospital near
Augusta, and to Southwestern
State Hospital in Thomasville,
Mayor Walker Harris urges all
citizens of Covington to parti=
cipate by providing gifts suitable
for either children or adults. He
asks that all gifts be brought to
City Hall prior to December 10,
Wrapped packages should be lab=
eled as to their contents, and
include the name and address
of the donor.
A gift of a Savings Bond is always
in good taste, never goes out of
style, and is always appreciated.

Need For More
.
Engineers Is
Stressed
ATLANTA, GA.—Within the
next decade, -the United States
will need more than 300,000 more
engineers than its engineering
colleges will produce at the pre=
sent rate of enrollment. The
critically needed manpower is
going to come from high schools,
if a crises is to be averted.
Georgia Tech, in association
with the Junior Engineering
Technical Society (JETS), is
sponsoring a state-wide search
this year for engineering apti=
tude in high school students.
Known as the National En=
gineering Aptitude Search, the
program features a series of
tests which may be taken by
high school students in grades
9-12, Special emphasis isplaced
on encouraging ninth and tenth
graders to participate.
The deadline for Georgia high
school students to register for
the test is November 8, accord=
ing to Dr. F. W. Schutz, Jr.,
JETS coordinator for Georgia.
On January 18, the aptitude test
will be administered at over 15
testing centers throughout the
state and also on the Georgia
Tech campus,
Schutz said that the test was
given to 636 Georgia high school
students last year. They repre=
sented 140 high schools in the
state.
“Among leaders of the en=
gineering profession, there is
continued national concern that
able and talented high school stu=
dents are not being encouraged
to consider the study of engineer=
ing and its career potentials,”’
Schutz said.
‘““There is a definite need for

Corra Harris
e
Writes New
; k
Georgia 800
The University of Georgia
Press has just announced the
release of John E, Talmadge’s
newest book, CorraHarris: Lady
of Purpose, Mr, Talmadge, Eme
ritus Professor of English at the
University of Georgia, received
the M, G, Michael Award from
the University in 1960 to aid
him in pursuing his research
for the biography,
Corra Harris (1869-1935) was
a Georgia writer well-known to
her generation for her novel,
The Circuit Rider’s Wife, which
was made into a movie ¢‘Pd
Climb the Highest Mountain,’’
starring Susan Hayward, It was
filmed in North Georgia near
Cleveland,
Mrs, Harris lived a zestful
life, despite many sharp
reversals and great disappoint
ments, Although she was bur
dened with extraordinary family
difficulties and later her own
failing health, she maintained
an astonishing flow of articles,
serials, and books for over three
decades, She was widely pop
ular as the contributor to such
magazines as the Saturday Eve=-
-ning Post, Country Gentleman,
Harper’s and Ladies’ Home Jo
urnal, She also found time to
a mechanism of early identifica
tion, recognition, and continued
follow-up guidance of high school
youth in the potentials of en=
gineering,’’ he continued.
According to Dr. Schutz, the
test scores which are provided
the student and the high school
counselor are intended only to
help the student decide whether
engineering is a field of study
that he or she might consider
following high school graduation.
They do not predict whether or
not the student will be success=
ful practicing engineering.
