THEN, Once people be
lieved that a fat baby was a
healthy baby, so mothers tried
to introduce solid foods into
their babies' diets as early as
the first weeks of life.
NOW. Pediatricians are
recognizing that early in
troduction of solid foods has
been associated with exces
sive intake of calories, protein
and minerals. Many recom
mend that breast feeding or
feeding of an infant formula
such as Enfamil be the ex
clusive food in tiie first six
months, and that formula
plus solid food judiciously
added—be continued through
out the first year.

(Editor's note: The
following feature story on
Perry---The Crossroads of
Georgia---was prepared by
the Tourist Division of the
Georgia Bureau of In
dustry and Trade in
cooperation with the
Tourist Committee of the
Perry Area Chamber of
Commerce of which Perry
businessman Don
Parkinson is chairman.
The release was mailed
this week to newspapers,
magazines, radio and
television stations
throughout Georgia and
the southeast.)
On the map. Perry ap
pears to be the crossroads
of middle Georgia. If one
were to travel the route by
conventional means, the
automobile ride would be
over in minutes. Pine trees
and pecan groves would
rush by in a blurr of green -
• punctuated staccato
fashion by the tall wind
mill at a local pottery and
billboards pointing the way
toward Andersonville
Trail, and two factory
outlet stores.
Word of-mouth ad
vertising has spread the
popularity of regional food
served amid white
tablecloths and fresh
flowers in the restaurant of
a local hotel enticing
generations of travelers to
overnight at Perry.
But few visitors in their
haste for points north and
south have thought to
unstrap the two-wheelers
from their station wagons
and strike out for a bit of
local sightseeing at a pace

tuned to the natural rhyth
m of the land.
A back-of-the-bicycle
vantage point gives
travelers time to smell the
honeysuckle and chuckle
at discovering wild plums
and blackberries growing
beside the backroads.
Starting from the in
tersection of 1-75 and U.S.
341, peddle east past the
Perry-Houston County'
Library and Chamber of
Commerce buildings to
Perry's commercial
district where a two-block
section is being renovated
in the Williamsburg style -
complete with sidewalk
lanterns and brick walk
ways. Native plants placed
along the walks will, in
time, dazzle the eye with
heavy boughs of rosy cre
pe myrtle in bloom. Store
fronts here are being
redesigned in keeping with
the traditional motif, and
it's all being accomplished
with local initiative - no
grants or federal funds
involved.
Just a few blocks away
are two long-time church
buildings -a striking
white Methodist structure
erected in 1826 and a red
brick one where
Presbyterians have been
worshipping since 1849.
From here, continue
cycling eastward through
the business district
toward Perry's residential
area. From November
through March, delicate
camellias bloom in shades
of pink, rose, variegated
hues, and white. Bright
azaleas and lacy dogwoods
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL THURS., AUGUST 12, 1974,
provide the crowning touch
during February and
March. Cater Circle and
Evergreen Street, just off
Main (U.S. 341) are
especially lovely drives.
Anyone passing the old
Baptist church spire set in
a pleasant dell at Main
Street and Forest Hill
Drive will surely pause to
wonder at its presence.
Farther out, a grove of
pecan trees marches along
a white picket fence
toward Georgia's only
brewery where guided
tours are open to the public
during regular business
hours.
From there, it's a
pleasant circle back along
Bear Creek Road past the
Houston Lake Country
Club, one of two private
clubs offering 18 holes of
golf. Traveling duffers can
take advantage of special
arrangements with a
number of local hotels and
motels for a chance on
these greens.
Bikers witness firsthand
the pastel hues of late
spring, the emerald green
of summer and fall foliage
that is unique to central
Georgia. They'll probably
discover, almost hidden
behind one motel at the
intersection of 1-75 and
U.S. 341, a delightful
garden with walkways
leading through a lattice
work arbor- complete with
hanging baskets-toward a
small goldfish-size pond.
Other paths here pass old
time boxwood borders
hiding quiet benches just
right for gathering one's
thoughts or planning
another day's adventure.
The annual Crossroads
Antique Show and Sale at
the Armory downtown
brings antique buffs to
Perry each February and
the Idaka Club Arts &
Crafts Show held the last
Saturday in March is
another popular attraction
at the Armory.
By bike or car, Perry is a
pleasant distance from
former President Franklin
D. Roosevelt's charming
Little White House and not
much farther from Plains,
the home of a 1976
Presidential nominee.
The eight-acre gardens
surrounding the
headquarters of the
American Camellia
Society are located south
west of Perry, and
everyone in a nostalgic
mood is sure to enjoy
crossing the Flint River
near Perry on the state's
last remaining ferryboat.
Other area attractions
include Andersonville
National Historic Site and
picturesque Callaway
Gardens.
For those lucky enough
to spend an extra day near
the crossroads of Georgia,
it's a sure bet they'll enjoy
the quiet peach orchards,
grazing cattle and rolling
farmlands.
