Delta Air Lines planted 22,500
loblolly pine seedlings on ap
proximately 20 acres of land of
the 53 acres of their new main
tenance base located southeast
of Atlanta Municipal Airport last
week.
When requesting the Upper
Ocmulgee River District to as
sist them in selecting the proper
land use for the area not to be
occupied by buildings and park
ing area in early 1960 while con
struction was underway, they
wanted vegetation that would
prevent erosion and deaden the
noise of jet planes when flying
close to or moving on the hard
top surface. Pine trees were
selected after a soil capability
survey of the area was made by
a soil scientist of Soil Conserva
tion Service and recorded on an
aerial photograph with careful
consideration given as to plants
best adapted to the soil type,
slope and condition of the area.
Tree seedlings were obtained
from the Georgia Forestry Com
mission and set in uniformly
spaced rows on the contour as
conditions would permit. Plans
are to mulch the recently graded
area to help the soil absorb and
retain moisture so the pine seed

take the test on March 7 will be
reported to their schools before
the end of the spring semester
in time for use by class advisers.
The scores are used in many
high schools to help students J
make decisions about college at
tendance and field of study.
Many students who do not ex
pect to win a scholarship take
I the test in order to learn more
! about their individual strengths
and weaknesses in the areas
measured by the test.
Some 10,000 Semifinalists, the
highest scorers in each state,
will be named early next fall.
Names of Semifinalists are pub
lished in a booklet which is dis
tributed to all colleges and to
other sources of financial aid
for undergraduates. Further,
their names and test scores are
sent on cards to the colleges
they express an interest in at
tending as their first or second
choices. The order of preference
is not shown.
Each Semifinalist will be
asked to take a second examina
tion. Those who repeat their
high performance will become
Finalists in the Merit Program.
Winners of Merit Scholarships
will be selected from the Finalist
group on the basis of school rec
ords and recommendations, test
scores, extracurricular activities,
leadership ability, and accom
plishments outside the class
room. Each Finalist is awarded
a Certificate of Merit attesting
to his outstanding performance.
The scholarship stipends are
based upon financial need. The
minimum award is SIOO and the
maximum is $1,500. The average
stipend awarded to freshman
Merit Scholars in 1960 was $827.
Each scholarship constitutes a
form of “educational insurance,”
since the stipend may be in
creased at any time if the stu
dent’s financial situation
changes during the four-year
term of the scholarship. Supple
mentary grants are usually made
to the colleges which the Schol
ars attend.
An additional 25,000 students,
selected on a national basis, re
ceive Letters of Commendation
for their high performance on
the qualifying test. These stu
dents are considered for special
awards made through the Merit
Corporation, and their names
and test scores are also sent to
their first and second choice
colleges.
