Marthasville Takes Form
Beneath Atlanta Streets
MARTHASVILLE, GA.
(PRN) — Like the Phoenix
bird, symbolizing rebirth from
the ashes of ruin, this
forgotten and sluggish little
city is awake again and now
raises her head proudly to
demonstrate the good old days
of Atlanta’s beginning.
The original downtown
area of Marthasville, better
known today as Atlanta,
which lies under the Atlanta
generally known, has been
cleaned and polished to her
former lustre where visitors
may live again that glorious
era of Atlanta’s history.
Here are the cobblestones,
the saloons, gracious dining,
banjos, keystone arches and
iron all caught up in the charm
of flickering gas light. This is
where it was. And this is
where nostalgia reins.
In this four-block area,
almost completely covered
with viaducts, built to
overcome the congestion of
rail traffic, is the downtown
place to be to escape the
congested downtown just
overhead.
This quaint and historic
City Beneath the Streets
features entertainment,
including the famous satire of
Wits End players and the
furious music of Ruby Red’s
Warehouse banjos; fine food,
like Salvatore’s Sorrento
aromas and famous Red Barn
beef at the Hearth and
Pendulum; and shopping at
the DuPah Tree or the
Wooden Onion or the Wick
and Tallow.

David Cowles,
vice-president of Underground
Atlanta, Inc., the developing
company which re-discovered
old Marthasville, says the idea
was “a unique closed-mall
complex in the form of an
1880 time cell—an area of
good specialty restaurants and
lounges; of interesting and
exciting shops of the small and
intimate variety; and places of
entertainment and exhibits,
with display techniques
exploiting the intrinsic factors
present in wonderful old
Atlanta, and above all, an area
of cleanly honest environment
with fun, interest and
nostalgia for nearly everyone.”
The City Beneath the
Streets will have its own police
force, dressed in the uniforms

wares---vegetables and

season). And there will be
street concerts.
The plan calls for nearly
100 establishments in the area
and each is being brought to
life with great care to capture
the spirit of the old town.

610 Newton Students Enter j
College At $1,708,000 Cost J
In Newton County, the propor
tion of young people who will be
going to college, when classes
resume in September, will be
greater than ever.
And, at the same time, as the
parents of these college-bound
youngsters are discovering, tui
tion costs will be at an all-time
high.
On the basis of local enroll
ments and the new schedules of
rates —for tuition, fees, room,
board and incidentals — the pa
rents of these students will be
shouldering a $1,708,000 load
for the coming academic year,
is estimated.
The Institute of Life Insur
ance finds that the cost of send
ing children to college for four
years could amount, for some
families, to the biggest expen
diture of their lives.
Hie total could very likely
add up to more than they invest
ed in their homes.
This is particularly so in New
ton County families that have two
or more youngsters to put through
college.
Facts and figures on college
costs and enrollments have be
come available through surveys
made by the Department of Heal
th, Education and Welfare, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and othes.
They show that no less than
7,000,000 Americans will be at-

ABOUT
YOUR i J HOME
Right now most of us are
trying to keep cool. There are
several things about what makes
you warm or cool that you may
not know.
The thermometer, itself, has
very little to do with summer
heat. High humidity and lack of
air circulation are more im
portant.
It is said that under average
conditions-when the air is not
too moist or too dry--a four or
five-mile-an-hour breeze will do
as much for you as a seven
degree drop in temperature.
Humidity is probably the most
important single factor on keep
ing cool. When the humidity is
high, the air does not absorb
moisture quickly. When the hu
midity is low, the air can evap-

charge more for out -of - state
students and less for local ones.
At private colleges, the aver
age will be close to $2,700 this
year.
To these figures must be added
the cost of books and supplies,
clothes, transportation and in
cidentals.
The grand total, for those in
public colleges, comes to ap-
orate nerspiration quickly and,
as it does sq it cools us.
When you want to cool your
self and your home on a hot
day, start by making the air
circulate. If necessary, manu
facture a breeze with electric
fans. The best type of fan, for
afternoon and evening use, is
an installation in the attic.
Large circulating fans which
stand on the floor do an excel
lent job of cooling.
Complete air-conditioning en
ables you tocontrol the tempera
ture, humidity and the circula
tion of air. This combination
provides complete comfort.
The amount of heat you create
within your body depends on
how much exercise you take.
Stay as quiet as possible.
proximately $2,200 and, for tho
se in private colleges, $3,400.
The $1,708,000 overall cost,
for Newton County families, is
based upon half of the students
goine to public colleges and half
to private ones.
Heavy as this financial burden
has become, more and more lo
cal families are finding it poss
