DON'T MISS THIS ONE! - VifU A' Vapid BY JIM THORN mim 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. STANLEY FURNITURE AND APPLIANCE COMPANY >llO7 MACON STREET PE*** 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.
