nip them “right in the bud.”
How wonderful to read of plans
for great waterways in Georgia...
these to connect Tennessee with
Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, etc..
just to think too! We have no
Cabin Cruiser now! But what
could we, now alone, do with
one? The husband would really
have enjoyed watching this Water
way Plan Materialize. We cer
tainly are rooting for it too, for
it will mean so much to all this
section of our South. We are
pulling for this plan, and the
sooner plans materialize the bet
