The Council long-range plan

Development of Camp Sidney
Dew as a camping area for Boy
Scouting began in May, 1939,
when the late Sidney H. Dew
deeded to the North-West Geor
gia Council some 80 acres in the
northern portion of Floyd Coun
ty, a beautiful mountain area.
Trustees of the Scout Council
were Joe L. Sulzbacher, T. E.
Clemmons, and T. D. Caldwell.
Present facilities at the camp
include dining hall, trading post,
cottage for the camp warden,
swimming pool, lake for boating
and canoeing, field sports area,
and five camp sites that include
21 Adirondack-style huts. There
is also an outdoor chapel, coun-

This year, the huts were re
roofed through friends of Scout
inf at Lindale. Cabin Crafts,
Inc., of Dalton gave the camp
a 10,000 gallon water storage
tank to be put into operation
this fall. The huge tank was
moved by the T. F. Hackney
Construction Co. A portion of
the lake dam had eroded and
this was repaired by the Clar
ence Murphy Construction Co. of
Cedartown. The caretaker’s cot
tage was remodeled with pro
ceeds from “This Is Scouting”
shows and materials contributed
by Pepperell Manufacturing Co.
of Lindale and H. E. Hennigh,
Inc., Cedartown. City Manager
Bruce Hamler of Rome super
vised the installation of a water
purification system. The road
approaching the camp has been
hard-surfaced by Floyd County.
Council officials say Camp
Sidney Dew will be in excellent
shape for the annual fellowship
conference of Area 6-D, Order of
the Arrow, Scouting camping
brotherhood, to be held at the
camp in April, 1965. More than
200 members and their leaders
from Boy Scout Councils at At
lanta, Griffin, Columbus, Al
bany, Tallahassee, and Rome
will participate.
Camping is the basic program
of Boy Scouting through which
the boy 11, 12, 13 years and older
achieves ability to do things for
himself, he receives Scoutcraft
traiinng which he puts to use
throughout his lifetime, and he
develops self-reliance.

County Roads Said
“In Good Condition’
'This is the seventh and final in a series on the development
of Chattooga County. It is taken from a booklet recently pub
lished by the Coosa Valley Area Planning and Development
Commission. Earlier articles discussed population trends,
schools, the economy, the decline in agriculture, fire protection
sanitary seivers, recreation, public water and an airport.)
“Chattooga County is fortunate in the number of
county roads which are in good condition. . . .it is
served by a network of state and federal highways and
county roads.”
So say the professional planners who recently com
pleted a study of Chattooga County. The planners are
with the Coosa Valley Area Planning and Development
Commission.
They have proposed what they call a “major road
system” for the county and it involves several new
roads and some important changes. They include the
following:
1. A re-location of U.S. Highway 27 from the top of
Taylor’s Ridge northward to a point north of Trion.
Both Trion and Summerville would be by-passed. This
route has already been designated as a part of the Fed
eral Aid Primary System.
2. A new local road which would cross this re-located
highway at about its midway point. The new local road
would run from a point on the Subligna-Gore Road
across the Chattooga River and thence to the present
U.S. 27 in the Pennville vicinity.
3. Extension of the Lyerly-Summerville Road from
its present intersection with U.S. 27 in Summerville.
It would go north along the east side of the Central of
Georgia Railroad to again intersect with U. S. 27 in
front of the Chattooga Hospital. This would be de
signed to help ease traffic congestion in downtown
Summerville.
4. A road beginning on U.S. 27 in Summerville and
going north on the west side of the railroad tracks to
join the Back Penn Road.
The experts also pointed out that:
Efforts should be started to have the route from the
ridge of Lookout Mountain designated as Alternate U.S.
27 from Chattanooga to Summerville. The portion of
this route in Chattooga County would include State
Highway 48 from Summerville to Cloudland and State
Highway 239 north from Cloudland. Designation of
this route as Alternate U.S. 27 would encourage tourist
traffic to use this scenic highway. It would also serve
Rock City Gardens in Walker County.
With the exception of the slide problems on U.S. 27
on Taylor’s Ridge, U.S. 27 is in good condition through
the county.
All the state highways in the county are in “rea
sonably good condition” with the exception of Geor
gia 337, north from the Chelsea community to the
Walker County line, and Georgia 100 from Summer
ville to the Floyd County line. These roads are in “great
need of reconstruction and widening.” it was stated.
The purpose of the “major road plan” proposed is to
provide a guide which state and local officials can work
towards as road improvements are made in the county.
Implementation will require cooperative efforts by the
state, county and city governments.
A priority program should be established for each
road so that the plan can be implemented in an orderly
manner over a period of years, it was stated.
