Traveling Through Georgia
A New Search Is On
There’s considerable “inven
tory taking” going on in cities
and towns throughout Georgia
this month. And it has nothing
to do with year end inventory of
businesses or industry. This new
type of “inventory taking” is
not being done by a skilled
group of storekeepers or ac
countants, but by hundreds of
civic minded Georgians who are
taking their town’s scenic re
sources, improving them and
“selling” them to visitors.
Why don’t we plan a sports
regatta at the lake?” “Let’s
have a courtesy clinic for all
service personnel!” “You know
that old building at the end of
town . . . well I learned yester
day from Miss Lucy that it is
of tremendous historical value

“Why don’t we get the local
merchants to ‘paint up and fix
up and then let’s beautify the
entrances to our town.” These
are just a few of the comments
ana questions that have been
i going on at these meetings
| throughout Georgia.
। What started all of this ac
tivity in Georgia? It is a well
planned new program developed
by the Georgia State Chamber
of Commerce to aid cities and
towns throughout the state in
developing their tourist attrac
tions and there’s a contest in
volved.
The information and sugges
tions contained in the Cham
ber’s “Stay and See Georgia” kit
, will amaze you. There are
! brochures on courtesy and hos
pitality, accommodations and
facilities, publicity and adver
tising, new attractions, clean-up
I and beautification, points of in
terest and a hundred and one
j other helpful hints.
You can enter this contest for
your city today. Just contact the
Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce in Atlanta and they will
be glad to give you the informa
tion, personal assistance, and
guidance that you will need in
organizing your town.
In one of the booklets of the
“Stay and See Program”, there
are listed Ten Commandments
for the “Care and Feeding of
Visitors to Georgia”. They are
as follows:
1. Thou shalt not frown or
scowl at visitors, for a traveler
is your bread and butter.
2. Thou shalt ask pleasantly
if you can be of service to
visitors.
3. Thou shalt make yourself
a storehouse of information for
travelers and cheerfully share
your knowledge with them.
4. Thou shalt answer ques
tions, seventy times seven, with
a smile.
5. Thou shalt keep your sunny
side up even though weary after
the day’s labor.
6. Thou shalt be as prompt as
possible when serving visitors.
7. Thou shalt be neat and
clean, for cleanliness is a mark
of politeness to others.
8. Thou shalt cause children
to have a happy vacation, for
their memories will profit you
in the future.
9. Thou shalt encourage

There was never yet a truly

same time truly virtous.

Walter H. Steele, 165 votes.
The other candidates and their

politely, but firmly. CHICKEN.
EVERY ONE OF ’EM! They
don’t like to be booed. And
there were more than 300 loyal
Eagle supporters present who
would have booed—graciously,
of course — but, nevertheless,
with meaning. Whoever filled a
stadium for a scholar!
Captain Frank Oliver and
Lynn Rector, however, put
everything in proper perspec
tive toward the end of the three
and one-half hour champion
ship dinner and presentation
program, when they were asked
to come forward and accept
scholastic trophies—a dead heat
existed between them—as the
leaders of the senior class, as
well as football leaders! How
about that!

Malvern T. Carter, 3; David L.
Coleman, 145; Charlie Cofield,
130; Claude E. Etheridge; David
L. Gaff ord, 32; Mrs. J. J. Jones,
47, and Jimmie F. Steele, 15.
Mayor Arch Gray’s first term
will not end until next year.
