Chattooga County, is congratulated by
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover upon re-
Miss Holland Honored By
FBI Director Hoover Fri.
Former Countian Finishes 20
Years With FBI in Washington;
Has Visitetl Much of Globe
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was among those paying
tribute to a native Chattooga Countian last Friday in
Washington.
The occasion was the completion by Miss Miriam
Holland of 20 years service with the FBI in Washington.
Miss Holland is a former Lyerly
High School teacher who went
to work in the nation’s capital
during World War 11.
Mr. Hoover personally pre
sented a service award to Miss
Holland in his office and a large
group of FBI employes paused
a few moments in their work to
join him in paying tribute to
the native of Holland.
“It was a thrill I’ll never for
get,” remarked the daughter of
a Chattooga County farmer, the
late Robert Lee Holland.
Miss Holland speaks with con
siderable authority about thrills.
She has experienced many
thrills which most people can
ohly enjoy through books and
pictures. Her hobby—she calls
it away of life—is travel, and
she has visited every state in
the Union except Utah, seven

Far East, Mexico, Panama, The

1958 in 56 days. Her most recent
trip was a Christmas visit to
the Holy Land last year where
she had the stirring experience
of attending Christmas Eve
services in Nazareth.
Other thrills which Miss Hol

ance include:
The Taj Mahal by moonlight;
a camel ride by the Sphinx and
'Pyramids in Egypt; a view of
the Kamakura Buddha in
Japan; seeing the Alps, the
Andes, Mt. McKinley and the
Canadian Rockies from plane
and train windows; celebrating
a birthday by eating reindeer
steak and cloudberry pie while
flying over the Arctic Circle;
eating hot dogs and popcorn at
a Fourth of July party at the
American Embassy in Helsinki,
Finland; seeing the royal fam
ily at the Ascot races in Eng

Eiffel Tower; looking with awe
at St. Peter’s Cathedral in
Rome; kissing the Blarney Stone
in Ireland; attending Easter
sunrise services in Jerusalem;
and standing in reverence in
the United States Military
Cemetery near Pearl Harbor.
Miss Holland has collected
jewelry and post cards from all
the various places she has vis
ited. She also has collected
many colorful photographs and
a tremendous wealth of infor
mation with which she fre
quently has entertained her fel
low FBI employees. She hopes
to add to each of these collec
tions in 1964 when she plans to
attend the Olympic games in
Tokyo and then visit a cousin,
William Wright, in Australia.
She previously has been in
japan, but not-Australia. Other
countries she plans to visit in
the future are New Zealand,
Fiji Islands, Tahiti, Iceland,
South Africa and Greenland.

| Teens Aid Family Which
Lost Its Home in Fire
Twenty-two Summerville high schoolers didn’t waste
their time off last Thursday afternoon and Friday tohen
I schools were closed because of the cold wave.
Members of the Christian Youth League spent most of
| the time getting together and delivering goods to a family
| of 10 who lost their home to fire earlier in the week.
The young people bought a bed. springs and mattress
and got together such things as dishes, bedspreads and
| clothing for the family which has eight children.
Marcia Boney is president of the League and Carole
Johnson was project chairman. But they were assisted by
some 20 other boys and girls.

school.
‘‘My history and geography
books showed me there were a
lot of interesting places on the
other side of those pretty North
Georgia mountains,” she re
lated. “I used to sit for hours
looking at maps, travel folders
and copies of the National
Geographic Magazine. Frankly,
I still enjoy doing just that,”
she added.
Her first trip was in June,
1930. It included a tour of
Washington, D. C., and New
York City. Since that time she
rarely has missed taking a trip
somewhere each year.
Miss Holland finished high
school in Rome in 1925, and at
tended Georgia Teachers Col
lege in Athens the next two
years. She then went to Mary
ville College, Maryville, Tenn.,
from which she was graduated
cum laude with an A.B. degree
in 1929. Thereafter, she taught
school at Model High School in
Floyd County; in Gaylesville,
Ala., and in Lyerly.
In 1942, Miss Holland noted
1 an item in the Rome newspaper
to the effect that the FBI
1 needed employees at its head
quarters in Washington. She re
-1 calls that she made application
for three reasons: To do “my
‘ bit” in the war effort; to be able
tb enjoy the cultural and edu
cational advantages of Wash
ington; and to be associated
’ with an organization she had
respected for so many years.
She frankly admits that she
had no intention of making a
career with the FBI, but she is
even more emphatic in stating
that she is glad she changed her
mind and decided to stay.
"It wasn’t really a change of
mind,” she related. “It was more
like a process of my becoming so
wrapped up in what I was doing
that I never really thought
about leaving. Working with the
FBI is like being able to travel
somewhere almost every day, for
employees come from every part
of the United States and many
have foreign backgrounds. Need
iless to say, the work is very in
teresting,” she reported.
Miss Holland currently is a
training instructor in the Files
and Communications Division,
imparting the wisdom she has
। gained through years of experi
ence to the new employees. Her
' entire service has been in rec
ords work except for one short
| tour of duty in the FBI Labora-
