WHAT IS THE LEGION? ____ We of another war sometimes are asked, what is The American Legion club, ? The American Legion is not a although many of its posts operate clubhouses. It is not a fraternal or¬ ganization, although it offers the fel¬ lowship of comrades in arms. The Legion is a service sacred organization. responsi¬ It is the trustee of a bility and power. The beneficiaries of this trust own the Legion. It belongs to those men and women who bear on their bodies and minds the marks of the price they have paid the for father love of country. It belongs to and mother, the widow and the or¬ phans of those for whom there can be no homecoming. It belongs to those sons and daughters of ours who yet serve America in the far-flung spaces of the world. It belongs to every man and woman of America who has honorably served his nation in the armed forces. While it serves its membership and those who were of the armed forces, it also has a primary concern in the future of America. It has offerer and will con¬ tinue to offer leadership in those causes that promote the wellbeing cooperation of the nation. It seeks the and help of every citizen. It belongs to the nation. Those who own it are the beneficiaries of its service and its strength. Through it we who served America in times of war continue to serve it and each other in time of peace.—Chief Justice Robert G.

Established 18H (Reprinted From The Seattle Times, Seattle Wash.) July 22, 1962 CREEPING ANT - HILLISM A challenge to relatively young cities such as Seattle was set forth by Eric Sevareid in an article on this page two weeks ago. This thoughtful writer appropri¬ ately described New York and oth¬ er older large cities as having be¬ come “great ant-hills. . .where ugly skyscrapers go up, shops and grace¬ ful homes are obliterated, their in¬ habitants are forced away, and year after year New Yorkers step around pits, stumble through wooden cat walks, breathe the fine mist of dust, absorb the hammering noise night and day, and telephone in vain for carpenter or plumber ... | “Thousands of New York Vomen no longer attend evening services in their churches. They fear assault as they walk the few steps from bus or subway station to their a partments. The era of the medieval footpad has returned, and, as in the Dark Ages, the cry for help brings no assistance, for even grown men know they would be cut down be¬ fore the police could arrive. »» This we realized when we publish¬ ed this column, was a warning to be remembered and learned from. In fact, it was like a doleful melo¬ dy that lingers on in the mihd, re¬ fusing to be forgotten. Did Sevareid describe Seattle 20 or 40 years hence? Perhaps he did, although nqt nec¬ essarily so yet! He did recall to mind the grad¬ ual evolutionary changes in Seattle which have come about in our con¬ temporary times. Many citizens now living here can recall earlier times when Se¬ attle and its surrounding areas had large open spaces of wild greenery; brooks babbled toward the Sound and lakes, and the air always was bright and clear, inspiring to breat¬ he; and traffic congestion was not yet a problem. Today, too much of the greenery is gone; the brooks have been oblit¬ erated, their flows usually turned into storm sewers; air and water pollution have become oppressive problems; traffic congestion has be¬ come acute and dangerous. Many of these same citizens can recall when it was safe to walk abroad at night in any but the wor¬ st sections of the city, where the innocent didn’t go anyway. Delin¬ quency, adult and juvenile, was not a mounting problem. Today, or tonight, uneasiness will be in the hearts of some—especially women—as they move about. It will not be as bad as in New York or many older cities, but it is be¬ ginning to get that way. Even po¬ licemen in our city move in pairs or threes in some sections of the •Aytunumion LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Blairsville, Ga. August 18, 1962 Mr. James P. Davidson, Editor Cleveland Courier Cleveland, Ga. Dear Mr. Jim: I have been reading in the Cour¬ ier about the outbreak of juvenile lawlessness, beatings, robberies and killings in Towns and White Coun¬ ties. In Union County, this seems to take the form of vandalism against homes when they are away for a while. This is so wide-spread that more and more part-time residents are selling or trying to sell their properties and it has gotten so some people will not buy in our mount¬ ains unless within sight of a reliable old-time resident who will agree to help watch for them. If continued, this situation will do more harm than good newspap¬ er editors and Chamber of Commerce can do good and it looks like it is about time for the law-abiding cit¬ izens of our mountain counties to band together in a sort of watch¬ dog help my neighbor committee, reporting weekend unusual visitors and hotrodders to our Sheriffs — a “Law and Order” Citizens Com¬ mittee. The ocassion of this letter is that on August 11 my cottage was van¬ dalized (nothing stolen except l small red flashlight), but this has been going on in Union County for five years to my knowledge, unde tered and unpunished and if contin¬ ued it sure will grow into beatings $3.61 P« Year hi LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT VITAL TO COMMUNITY i GROWTH ATHENS, Ga. - In the ever chang¬ ing face of our nation there are many things which influence the growth of different communities and areas. The situation, whether good or bad, is a concern to each conscientious citizen. Ways must be found for the community to main¬ tain a desirable environment for its residents and in doing this to utilize all its resources and potential. One of the most important and yet least obvious areas of commun¬ ity and area improvement is the development of the street and high¬ way landscape. The advantages and the proper approach to the develop¬ ment of street and highway land¬ scape are explored by Robert J. Hill in “Street and Highway Landscape Development,” recently published by the Institute of Community and Area Development at the Univer¬ sity of Georgia. This publication is one of a ser¬ ies of books in which the Institute helps to provide information to communities interested in communi¬ ty planning and development and to governmental agencies and insti¬ tutions. Mr. Hill, a member of the De¬ partment of Landscape Architect¬ ure at the University, points out that “attracting new inhabitants and recognizing economic potential has become a major concern to all communities, especially the declin¬ ing ones.” “Cities must also maintain econ¬ omic stability,” he said, “by revital¬ izing internal neighborhood com¬ plexes, promoting improved busi¬ ness and working conditions, pro¬ viding ready access and incorporate ing the green of nature into the maze of people, machines and con¬ crete. Thus community appearance is a significant factor in total com¬ munity welfare,’ The proper approach to under¬ standing the basic principles of str¬ eet and highway landscape, Mr. Hill suggests, is to consider the land, plant materials, design composit¬ ion, and controls. “In an effort to raise the level of appearance of Georgia’s communit¬ ies and countryside,” Mr. Hill points out, “the Institute Community and Area Development of the Universi¬ ty of Georgia is, by this monograph, calling attention to the need for state-wide street and roadside im provement.” Insti¬ Mr. Hill states that “this tute stands ready to assist any com¬ munity or area in Georgia in pro¬ moting and establishing a street or highway landscape development program. Individuals, businesses and community, area or state organiz¬ ations such as civic and service clubs, development groups and oth ers may well be the local agent in instituting and working toward the realization of street and highway landscape development for a partic¬ ular community or area.” Mr. Hill suggests that such an accomplishment would give Geor bia and her communities a progres¬ sive spirit and serve as a direct con¬ tribution to the beauty and welfare of our nation.
