Congratulations, Indians!
All Chattooga County can take pride
in the Chattooga High football team.
No. the team hasn’t won either of its
two games this year. And it may face still
further losses.
But, of considerably more importance,
the team has "scored” through its conduct
as gentlemen.
The Avondale team, which overran
Chattooga High in the season’s opener, was
so impressed by the conduct of the Indians
that one of its members, on behalf of the
team, wrote a letter of commendation.
Speaking of the Indian’s coinage, he said:
"It is a courage that only men have — the
Vote in Runoff
Yesterday’s primary was important.
But it is no more important than the
Sept. 23 primary —two weeks from today.

Reports From ijL /
Congress
A FACT THAT is not widely
known is that the Seventh Dis
trict of Georgia contains 99,-
549 acres of the Chattahoochee
National Forest. There are two
Chattahoochee National Forest
Ranger Stations in tile Seventh
District, one at LaFayette in
Walker County and one at
Chatsworth in Murray County
The Forest has six recreation
areas in the Seventh District as
follows: Cold Spring Recrea
tion Area and Spring Creek
Recreation Area in Whit field
County, the Narrows Recrea
tion Area in Chattooga County,
the Pocket Recreation Area in
Floyd County, the Keown Falls
Recreation Area in Walker
County, and the Hidden Creek
Recreation Area in Gordon
County.
The latter two areas are quite
new. as is one mile of road in
Walker County, five miles of
road in Gordon County and a
work center in Murray County.
Another fact not widely
known is that twenty-five per
cent of all money received from
timber sales, grazing fees, and
other uses of the National For
ests is returned to the States m
which the Forest is located.
The States distribute these
funds to the counties to be used
for schools and roads Returns
to the National Forest Counties
in the Seventh District of Geor
gia last year amounted to $24.-
071 43.
• • •
ANOTHER INTERESTING
statistic about the Seventh Dis
trict is that during the past
year under the National School
Lunch Program a total of 77.-
350 children were enabled to
have low cost lunch at school
The Seventh District share of
lunch funds last year totaled
$586,000 In addition to this,
i the special milk program oper
ating in the Seventh District
schools provided 3 million half
pints of milk for the children

hearts up, cleanly and proudly, even though
the glory of victory is surely lost.”
Football players need not be rough
necks. Indeed, being admired as they are
by so many other young people, they
should be shining examples of young man
hood at its best.
That the Indians are shining examples
is indicated by the letter. They and their
coaches are to be congratulated.
If the Indians continue creating such
an image over the area, Chattoogans will
have every right to be proud of them re
gardless of whether they win or lose games.
Remember that your vote counts as
much as the next fellow’s and plan right
now to vote in the runoff.
the Forest Service but such
things as the School Lunch
Program and the distribution
of surplus food, both at home
and abroad.
I have been most interested
to watch the rapidity with
which facilities for research
are growing, and nowhere is
this more evident than in the
field of agriculture.
The Agricultural Experiment
Station at Beltsville. Maryland,
in the suburbs of the Nation’s
Capital, is familiar to a great
many of our farmers and 4-H
Club members. I first learned
of its existence and of its po
tential value when I became
the owner of some beehives a
few years ago and was reading
about how to control the ene
mies of honey bees.
Soul It Georgia is to get a new
million-dollar laboratory for
research on peanuts next year,
Kentucky is soon to have a lab
oratory for research on tobacco,
and Mississippi is shortly to
have a laboratory for cotton
studies.
While I yield to no one in my
respect for scientific research,
I very much doubt the wisdom
of investing so much money in
physical facilities as a first
step It strikes me that the real
need is to produce top flight
students and to build institu
tions of learning with graduate
schools of very high caliber.
After all, some of the most as
tonishing scientific discoveries
and insights have occurred
with little or no equipment.
Einstein is said to have arrived
at his famous equation E =
MC*—certainly the most sig
nificant insight of this century
with nothing more than a
pencil and paper.

Letter to Editor
Gentlemen,
Your editorial of some weeks
stating “Roads in Chattooga
County in Good Condition.” This
is very untrue error of yours or
your informer that should be
corrected by your excellent
weekly newspaper. Please drive
to Gore and follow mail route 4
the whole route and please in
vite your County Good Roads in
former with you on this drive.
Hope they know the difference
between a good road and a pig
trail. There are many other
road conditions in county the
same. I am sorry and disap
pointed that you would print
this untrue statement in your
newspaper. Think you should
correct this statement “County
Roads in Good Shape” most
everybody knows this in untrue.
Yours truly,
T. P. JOHNSTON
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr.
Johnston is mistaken. The
Summerville News did not
run an “editorial” stating
the roads in the county were
in good condition. The News
did run a story quoting the
Coosa Valley Planning and
Development Commission as
stating that “Chattooga
County is fortunate in the
number of county roads
which are in good condition”.
We would suggest that our
reader turn back to the story
and re-read it. And, if he
wishes to see it, we h a v ea
copy in our office of the
Coosa Valley report making
this statement. It was con
tained in a brochure entitled.
"General Land Use and
Thoroughfare Plan. Chat
tooga County. Georgia.”)

PRIMATES HOUSED
House trailers are coming back
to the Emory University campus.
Unlike the GI housing in the
late ’4o’s, the trailers will house
other primates: baboons, Rheu
sus monkeys and the like. The
primates, part of Yerkes Labora
tories, will be used to help scien
tists study man’s diseases. The
laboratories were formerly in
Orange Park, Fla.
