Easter Seal Sales
In Progress Here
As the 1958 Georgia Easter Seal
Campaign enters its final three
days, Bill Bates, chairman for the
Houston county appeal of the
Georgia Society for Crippled Chil
dren and Adults, was optimistic
that the local goal would be reach
ed.
He said, “With the Appeal end
ing Easter Sunday, April 6, the
next few days are important ones.
We urge that those of you who
have not yet contributed do so
without delay, thus helping us
meet our quota and insuring an
adequate program of crippled
children’s services next year.”
He outlined the service goals
which the Society hopes to con
tinue and expand if Easter Seal
returns reach expectations. These
include establishment of more
area treatment centers, summer
day camps, family weekend camps,
direct treatments by therapists
and other professional persons, re
creational swimming, parent coun
seling, scholarships, and an equip
ment loan pool.
Contributions should be mailed
in the envelopes which came with
the Easter Seals or addressed sim
ply to “Crippled Children,” in care
of your local post office.

GEORGIA WILL HAVE ONE OF NATION’S
TOP ATTRACTIONS IN STONE MOUNTAIN
South Dakota has its Rushmore
Memorial, North Carolina its “Un
to These Hills” outdoor drama, and
Tennessee its Clingman’s Dome.
Now that a legislative act has au
thorized the purchase of Stone
Mountain in DeKalb County, the
Keystone State of the South is
going to have one of the nation’s
most famous landmarks.
This was the statement of Gov
ernor Marvin Griffin who has
sought legislative authorization
since taking the oath of office as
Georgia’s chief executive. He said
the envisioned park will undoubt
edly attract more than a million
tourists each year, and that people
visiting the park from other states
will go on to visit historical and
other attractions in all parts of
the state.
“Stone Mountain will be of ever
lasting benefit to our present gen
eration and to all future citizens
of this state and the Southland,”
the Governor said. “It will ulti
mately benefit all parts of the
state and Georgia will take its
place as one of the nation’s major
tourist attractions.”
Multiple Development
Unlike the singular nature of
attractions in many other states,
Stone Mountain lends itself to a
variety of ideas for development,
according to Commerce Secretary
Scott Candler, former commission
er of roads and revenues in De-
Kalb County and a member of the
newly-created Stone Mountain Me
morial Commission.
In addition to a mammoth car
ving which will be basic, there are
unlimited possibilities for staging
outdoor dramatic productions, ta
king people to the dome’s top by
tramway or road, and for provid
ing other recreational facilities
and unlimited parking space.
“Those who have visited Mount
Rushmore in South Dakota will re
member how crowded that attrac
tion has become in recent years,”
Candler said. “With proper plan
ning, the 2,500 acres of land to be
purchased at Stone Mountain
should provide plenty of ‘elbow
room’ for all who want to visit the
park.”
“It may take three or four
months to get the title to the
mountain straightened out, and we
will not discuss the sculptor until
we get the mountain,” he contin
ued.
Mountain’s History
Long before Europeans came to
America the Indians used the
mountain as a lookout post and
signal station, and a people be
lieved to ante-date the redmen arc
credited with building a fortifica
tion that formerly guarded the
slopes.
By 1925 a colony of whites had
settled at the base of the moun
tain, which at that time was the
northern terminal of a stagecoach
line running from the coast. An
enterprising citizen named Cloud
built a wooden tower 165 feet tall
on the mountaintop; he is reputed
to have done a thriving business
with the tourists of the day, until
a windstorm blew his tower away.
The present town of Stone Moun
tain antedates Atlanta by many
years.
Various owners held the moun
tain, or parts of it, until about
1880, when the late Samuel Hoyt
Venerable acquired the entire pro
perty. His interests quarried the
granite for many years.
In 1915, Mrs. Helen Plane, pre
years, and said corporation is
hereby granted and vested with
all the rights and privileges men
tioned in said petition.
This 26th day of March, 1958.

Houston County, Ga.

TOMMIE S. HUNT, Clerk
4tp 3-27
sident of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, conceived the
idea of carving a likeness of Ro
bert E. Lee on the mountain. Gut
zon Borglum, internationally re
nowned sculptor, was consulted.
He suggested instead a calvacade
of esquestrian figures represent
ing a dozen or so of the Confeder
acy’s most famous leaders—to be
“carved” on the scarp with dyna
mite!
The idea of the gigantic memor
ial swept the country like wildfire,
not only the states of the old Con
federacy but sections which had
been most hostile to the South.
A Stone Mountain Monumental As
sociation was organized, the Ven
erable family deeded the northeas
tern side of the mountain for the
work, and the details of organiza
tion and fund-raising got under
way.
The carving was interrupted by
World War I, but on Jan. 19, 1824,
Borglum’s head of General Lee
was complete. Its dedication, a
gala and patriotic affair attended
by representatives from every part
of the nation, sparked the sale of
Stone Mountain half dollars. These
commemorative coins, the federal
government’s contribution to the
project, were sold at a premium
for the benefit of the memorial.
In 1925 dissention over Bor
glum’s progress split the group
backing the memorial, and the
sculptor quit. In a huff, he wreck
ed his superb models which repre
sented a fortune in effort and cost,
and fled the state.
Lukcman Employed
Another sculptor, Augustus
Lukeman, was employed. He sub
mitted an entirely different de
sign for the memorial, blasted

Borglum’s work off the mountain
side, and started from scratch.
Lukeman’s study of Lee’s head
was unveiled in 1928, but by this
time the memorial association was
penniless.
From 1929 to the present lime
various plans for completing the
memorial were suggested. The
City of Atlanta considered under
writing the job, WPA assistance
was sought, the Stone Mountain
Park Authority was formed to ap
ply for a federal loan. All these
efforts came to nought.
In 1956 a citizens group acquir
ed portions of the mountain pro
perty, but was unable to finance
its development. Governor Griffin
then appealed to the people of
Georgia, and the response was an
overwhelming demand that Stone
Mountain be bought and develop
ed, with the Confederate Memorial
to be completed as soon as possi
ble. The General Assembly con
curred, and legislation authorizing
the Governor to acquire the pro
perty and implement the develop
ment through a Stone Mountain
authority, was passed by a record
vote in both houses.
Thousands of visitors from all
points of the compass come to see
Stone Mountain as it is today. With
development, Governor Griffin
says, the Memorial Park should
pay for itself within a few years
and then become a self-perpetua
ting tourist and recreation facility.
Members of Authority
The authority created by the
Legislature to develop the moun
tain property, to be known as the
Stone Mountain Memorial Associa
tion, is composed of four constitu
tional officers of the state and
three appointees named by the
Governor.
