Extend Blue Ridge
Parkway Across
Georgia's Mountains
Georgia’s mountains may soon
be developed into a mecca for
tourists. Already several projects
are in the works within the moun¬
tains, including the Richard B.
Russell Scenic Highway, an In¬
formation Center atop Brasstown
Bald, the Welcome Center at Ring
gold, and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce Stay and See Georgia
campaign among the communities.
The state parks also are being
improved under a $2.3 million bond
program. Under State Parks Direc¬
tor Horace Caldwell, these parks
at last are being whipped into
shape.
Now there’s a new development
which could be a boon to the whole
mountain area — and all of Geor¬
gia tourism for that matter. That
is the extension of the Blue Ridge
Parkway from North Carolina
through North Georgia, treminat
ing somewhere above Marietta.
This is the type “anti-poverty”
project which will do some lasting
good. It also would fit in nicely
with the ambitions of many Geor¬
gians who wish to see the moun¬
tains developed, and who wish for
tourists to see more of the beauty
of Georgia.
Rep. Phil Landrum and Rep.
Roy Taylor (D.-N.C.) have intro¬
duced a bill which would author¬
ize the extension of the Blue Ridge
Parkway. And the chairman of the
House of Interior and Insular Af¬
fairs Committee has assured Rep.
Landrum that the bill would have
clear sailing.
The cost of the projeet is esti¬
mated at $72.7 million. It would
be an extension of the highway
for 190 miles, from Beech Gap, N.
C. It would be built solely with
federal funds and it also has the
approval of the National Park Ser¬
vice.
We hope that this Blue Ridge
Parkway is approved by Congress.
We also hope that funds are ap¬
propriated and the highway is built
as rapidly as posible. It should be
a magnificent asset to Georgia.

Dear Friends:
On behalf of the patients and
staff at Milledgeville State Hos¬
pital, we would like to express
our deep gratitude and sincere
appreciation of your Christmas
gifts. Each year as this program
enlarges, we realize more and
more how small our aspirations
would seem if it were not for
your help.
Thousands of gifts were received
from people all over Georgia and
because of this unselfish act no
patient was forgotten this Christ¬
mas.
We hope that a rich measure of
the happiness you have brought to
our patients will be yours during
the new year.
Sincerely,
Ray D. Brown

The outlook is for below nor¬
mal temperatures in the East and
Southeast and above normal tem¬
peratures in the Northern Plains

When Will The
Cold Spell Hit?
By Robert McKee
It’s interesting to look back on
the capricious winters of 1960 and
1961, for the cold season is with
us again and there’s no limit on
what may happen weather-wise.
In spite of being in the balmy
South, there have been numerous
occasions here when temperatures
went below the zero mark. Coldest
on record in Atlanta, says the
Weather Bureau, was 8.5 on Feb.
13, 1899.
It isn’t comforting to read the
results of a study made by
Bureau’s Office of Climatology. It
says:
u Winters throughout the world
have been getting generally colder
since 1940, breaking a long-range
warming trend that began in 1881.”
For a long time Georgians talked
about the stinging winter of 1899,
which was regarded as the grand
daddy of them all in spreading
desolation and destruction. All
across the nation were reports of
people freezing to death in the
1899 blizzard.
Old accounts say flowers and
other vegetation were ail but wiped
out in that intense cold. Georgia
isn’t attuned to living in tempera¬
tures 8 degrees below zero.
THE CULPRIT
In recent years, March has been
the culprit for spreading intoler¬
able weather across the state. The
state hasn’t yet recoverd from
th losses it sustained in the great
ice storms of 1960 and 1961.
In I960, a 10-inch March snow¬
storm, mingled with sleet, shut
down schools and other activities
in 12 North Georgia counties. Iso¬
lated back country families were
on the verge of starvation when
military vehicles and helicopters
came to their rescue with baskets of
food.
In one of these storms (they
were spread out over a period of
five days), North Georgia’s poultry
industry suffered losses that
amounted to $5 million. Says a
news story that appeared at the
time:
“Piles of snow have collapsed
hundreds of chicken houses in
Lumpkin, Hall and White counties.
Several poultrymen lost as many
as 100,000 birds. Some chicken
houses burned when smudge pots
were used as auxiliary to the heat¬
ing systems. There were reports
of cattle freezing in Habersham
County.”
FOOD SUPPLY
One family had plently of fire¬
wood, but only a day’s supply of
food when the storm struck. Food
was brought to them by a helieop
tor from Ft. Benning.
The helicoptor had stopped at
the Ranger Corps station at Dah
lonega. Its commander, hearing of
the family cut off from the rest of
the world, gave orders for picking
up food at an Ellijay grocery store.
A firm indication that winter has
arrived is seen in the experience
of an ocean liner in the North
Atlantic. Aboard were several hun
hundred people returning from
European cruise.
The liner was delayed for days
by an ice storm it encountered
just off Newfoundland. Most of
the passengers became seasick and
touched land.
I’ve seen two almanacs with pre¬
dictions on what lies ahead for
Georgia. Both say this will be a
comparatively mild weather win¬
ter. Maybe so, but chances are
we’ll feel the raw cold that usual¬
ly | starts heading this way from
Canada just after the first of the
year.
It will be terribly cold in the
country west of the Great Lakes
and some of that chill is bound
to leak and stream in this
direction. When that happens we’ll
know we’re in for it.
