CHAIRS . . . iof charm, lor comfort, for sophisticated
decorative accents, for sociable conversation groupings
or solitary television watching. What item of furniture
offers so much variety, so much scope for your person
al, family and entertaining needs?
Today’s wide selection of chairs can be any decorator’s
delight. A good idea is to familiarize yourself with the
different types available. The club or lounge chair
is a man’s favorite. Characterized by simplicity of line,
with T or square cushion, this is one of America's
favorite chairs. The famous Lawson chair is a good
example.
The open-arm chair, usually smaller, has an uphol
stered seat and back, with the area under the arms
open. You’ll find it in every style from traditional to
Scandinavian modern. Similar, but often smaller still,
is the pull-up or occasional chair, light in weight so
that it can be easily moved. These are effectively used
in pairs.
Decorators often refer also to the “character” chair.
It serves the function of lounge or occasional chair,
but is styled as a dramatic eye-catcher. Examples are
high-back wing chairs, barrel chairs, contemporary
rockers, and many others.

John C. Woods, SCS Soil Scient
ist headquartered at Perry, who
compiled the special soils infor
mation, presented the report to
Wm. Hibbert, Executive Director
of the Commission.
Commission planners will util-
ize the soils information in de
- veioping land use plans and com
prehensive water and sewer plans
m the seven county area.
Woods stated that the soils in
formation was compiled especial
ly for use by Soil and Water Con
servation Districts, planning com
missions and others making land
use decisions.
“We’ve prepared general soils
maps of each county showing
groups of soils that have the
same general physical, chemical
and biological characteristics,”
Woods said.
"Our next step was to rate
each group of soils for such use,
as crop production, building sites,
recration, roads, and sewage dis
posal including septic tanks, oxi
uation ponds and community
sewers.”
“What we’re trying to do,”
Wood said, “is to point out the
limitations of different soils for
various uses. If people know
these things ahead of time they
aren’t likely to build in areas
where floods, high water tables
and other unfavorable soil con
ditions will cause them trouble.”
R. Hoke Smith, SCS Area Con
servationist at Perry, said that
the special soils reports present
ed to the MGAPDC is one of a
number of similar reports being
prepared in Georgia.
"The SCS is providing this soils
and other resource information
free of charge to Soil and Water
. Conservation Districts, county
, governments, planning commis
. sions, and other groups,” Smith
, said. “We know they will make
. good use of it in planning the
best use of their land and water
. resources.”
The Soil Conservation Service
is an agency of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Through per
sonnel located in all counties of
the state it provides technical
and limited financial assistance
to improve social and economic
conditions through resource con
servation.
