Academics and Football
Really Go Together
Dynamic. Homeric Dr. Noah Langdale. Jr.. President of
Georgia State College, challenged members of the Armed
Forces Management Association to be topflight managers
elusion of his forceful message.
Such a challenge to one and all to do their level best
every day of their performance certainly fits into only one
category: inspiring.
Academics and football can fit into the same cate
gory of higher learning as attested by Dr. Langdale, the
speaker, and Depot Commander Colonel Roland Savilla,
who introduced the speaker.
They played football in the same era. Georgia-born
Dr. Langdale was a Phi Beta Kappa All-American tackle at
the University of Alabama.
Col. Savilla was a top student at the University of
Michigan and won honorable mention for All-America
as a great tackle. And now he is the outstanding Com
mander of the Atlanta Army Depot.
All in all. it was one of AFMA’s finest hours at the Of
ficer’s Club last Wednesday noon.

To Serve Army Again
Dr. Langdale told his audience that he had spent sev
eral months last year delivering addresses overseas for the
chaplain’s division of the Army, and added that he will go
back this April.
Dr. Langdale has been Georgian of the Year, and has won
just about all the academic honors that a man can win, be
tween U. of Alabama and Harvard University. And now

Noah Langdale
I have heard a great many outstanding speakers in my
time, but I would be less than honest if I didn’t say that the
very best I have ever heard is Georgia State’s Dr. Langdale,
who is greatly in demand as a speaker.
The proof of his greatness is that once you have heard
his oratory, you want to hear him again—the sooner the
better.

It is not too easy to follow some
points Dr. Langdale makes in his de
livery because he is one of the most
learned men of our age. It takes
strict concentration to get the most
out of his speech. And I am sure that
the members of AFMA and their
guests were virtually sitting on the
edge of their seats in following one
of the finest speeches ever made at
the Depot. Dr. Langdale was ac
corded a rising ovation at the con-
Georgia State College which has
grown tremendously under his lead
ership.
It was my pleasure to be a sports
editor when Dr. Langdale was a
smashing All-America tackle. He
pointed out that the language of to
day stresses “containing the left
halfback in his su'eep off tackle." In
Dr. Langdale’s playing days the lan
guage was “racking them up,” and he
was one of the very best in opening
large holes on offense and smashing
down the offensive threats of the
opposition.

Clayton County has another star for its crown.
IDLEWOOD, a prestige development of residential
homesites, is now opened. A number of the homesites
have already been purchased, and several homes are
now being built by the new owners. IDLEWOOD is
designed to allow the arch
itects and owners the widest
latitude in designing and
building nicer residences.
The homes in the first two
units are anticipated to cost
between $25,000.00 (mini
mum requirements) and up
to $55,000.00, with the costs
shown to include the land
cost.
Each homesite in IDLE
WOOD has been carefully
designed by a land planning
Engineer; all growing trees
have been preserved, and
each site is landscaped for
both beauty and ease in
planning, with each home
site containing approxi
mately one-acre, and most
of the lots have frontage of
200 feet, more or less.

For Joey
J
A very kind gentleman
paid a car note for Joey’s
family last week, a gift
much appreciated by the
family who just dare not be
without their car for imme

Joey. Gestures like that one
are truly appreciated, as are
all donations for this truly
deserving family. Please let
your gifts keep coming — so
much is needed.
Have you ever put your
arm ’round a child and
found practically nothing
but clothes to hug? We did
recently, and had a job to
suppress the tears. Joey
knows he is sick—the visits
to Doctor and hospital tell
him that, but he is looking
forward to the Summer—A
Summer it is possible he will
never see. We hope we may
hear from you soon, with the
help they so badly need.
