Chattooga County has a growing resort area on her
western iringe—Lookout Mountain. Several new camps
have been established on the mountain in the last year
oi so, an indication that the area is not declining in
spite oi stiff competition from the fine new man-made
lakes in this area.
The scenery and cool breezes out there are hard to
beat.

Delegates of the Chattooga High DCT program
waited expectantly last April at the state meeting when
public speaking winners were announced. But only the
top winner was disclosed and it was not Chattooga
Highs Judy Lenderman as the countians had hoped.
Nevertheless, last week when Coordinator Alvis Cope
land went to a coordinators’ meeting at Jekyll Island,
there was a fine trophy waiting for Judy. She had
placed either second or third in the state but since only
the first place winner was announced she hadn’t
known there was a trophy waiting for her.
It was a pleasant past momento of high school days
tor Judy. She will soon enroll at Jacksonville State Col
lege.

Mrs. Ed Surles, whose husband has just returned

ity to take a similiar trip with a group of Georgia Busi
ness and Professional Women this summer. As a past
piesident of the Summerville B&PW, Mrs. Surles was
invited to go along.
But two such trips in one year in our family would
have been too much,” saws the attractive Mrs. Surles,
an employee of Georgia Rug Mill.

Ken Kinsey’s trip as a Boy Scout to Valley Forge this
summer would have been memorable under any cir
cumstances.
But when he had the opportunity of shaking hands
with President Johnson, the trip became completely
unforgettable. e j
The president spoke at the encampment and after
wards shook hands with several members of the or
chestra, Including lucky Ken, who played the guitar.
He is the son of Mrs. Paul (Cutley) Kinsey and the
late Mr. Kinsey.

I don’t know what they call the auditorium where
the Democratic National Convention will be held be
ginning Aug. 24. But I did find out how the “Cow Pal
ace”, in which the Republicans met, got its name.
Mrs. Sidney Harrison wrote me all the way from New
Bedlord, Mass, to point out that it was named because
of the farm animal shows given there. And our kindly
guest columnist, Elbert Forester, gave me the same in
formation, adding that it was a government WPA pro
ject which costs several million dollars.
