Southern Living Show Set
For Atlanta, March 1-9
ATLANTA—Whether "home
sweet home” is a sophisticated
townhouse apartment or a camp
site off in the woods somewhere,
the 1969 Southern Living Show
has the perfect setting for it.
A townhouse garden and a
wooded campsite are just two
of a total of 16 gardens that south
eastern landscape experts are
putting together for the show,
March 1-9 at the Atlanta Civic

The gardens will cover 12,000
square feet of floor space in the
Civic Center’s big exhibition hall.
All are being installed in co
operation with the Atlanta
Nurserymen’s Association,
which will also design one of the
gardens.
Every flower, shrub and tree
in the show will be alive and in
full bloom, planted in bark shav
ings that will be brought to At
lanta by the truckload and layered
on the floor of the exhibition hall
at each garden site.
In addition to dogwood, azaleas
and forsythia in full bloom, the
gardens will contain such things
as fountains and waterfalls, 15-
foot pine trees, a pool filled with
trout and other fish from Geor
gia’s lake and streams and va
luable pieces of sculpture done
especially for this show.
The Atlanta Bonsai Society will
install an authentic Japanese
temple garden, and Florida Cac
tus, Inc., will display rare and
interesting cactus plants, some
of which were brought from Cali
fornia by J. M. Veldhuis, owner
of the Apopka, Fla. cactus com
pany.
Georgia Power Co.’s garden
will be a salute to Atlanta’s Dog
wood Lighted Trails, certain rou

yards on certain nights each
spring. The garden will show the

Dee Hardin, Former Newton
Countian, To Attend Conference
Four young Georgians from
Crawford, Pike, Brooks and War
ren Countries have earned the
highest delegate recognition a
4-H Club member can receive.
They are delegates to the 1969
National 4-H Conference in Wash
ington, D.C., April 19-25.
Dee Harden, Pike County (for
merly of Newton County); Carol
ine Andrews, Crawford County;
Monty Griffin, Brooks County,
and Hal Hinesley, Warren County,
will join approximately 200 of
America’s outstanding 4-Hyoung
men and women in the nation’s
capital for the annual leadership
citizenship conference. Dr. T. L.
Walton, state 4-H leader with the
University of Georgia Cooper
ative Extension Service, said
Dee, Caroline, Monty and Hal
were selected on a basis of their
leadership and project activities
and their overall excellence in
4-H Club work.
They represent more than 30
years of 4-H experience, Dr.
Walton said. Dee, Hal and Monty
are attending college and
Caroline is a senior in high
school. Their 4-H experiences
began when they were in the fifth
grade and progressed to the
junior leadership positions in
their counties.
“During the years between
their fifth grade exposure to 4-H
Club work and their being named
delegates to the National 4-H
Conference, four young people
have had a taste of work, fail
ure and success,” Dr. Walton
said. They have successfully
carried out 4-H projects on the
local, county, district and state
levels.
While in Washington, they will
see the national government in
action. At the Natonal 4-H Club
Center, site of the Conference,
they will participate in dis
cussions on citizenship and
leadership and share experiences
they have had in Georgia 4-H
work. The conference program
will also include visits to national
memorials, museums and
appearance on radio and tel
evision programs.
Dee Harden was almost afraid
of 4-H work. Her father was the
county agent and she thought
people would expect too much of
her. However, this 18-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adron
Harden of Zebulon, didn’t let that
keep her from working just a
little harder. Her major projects
during her eight years of 4-H
Thursday, February 27, 1969
work include leadership, home
improvement, foods and nut
rition, landscaping, automotive,
food preservation, forestry and
dog care and training.
Dee thought her 4-H problems
were over when her father began
working for the Farm Bureau.
However, her mother became the
c ounty Extension home economist
in their new county. Dee says she
soon learned she would always be
the first to be told to hush and the
last to get help.
She attended district project
achievement meetings for seven
years. Dee has shared her 4-H
experiences with younger
4-H’ers at camps, county and
district achievemnet events, the
junior clubs she organized and
during her term as vice president
of the State 4-H Council.
Vertical Accent
When solid lumber is used for
a bookcase, the boards forming
shelves and side supports need
no edge banding for appearance.
But it’s often desirable to em
phasize the vertical line of up
rights by facing them with a Ix 2
nailed flat across the edge.
Flush-joint, tongue-and-groove
panel boards are cut with square
edges. Walls paneled with flush
joint boards are as smooth as
flooring.
