program.
There are no plans to add
“more concrete’’ to the park,
Morris said. Rather efforts are
under way to encourage more
people to visit the facility. One
mechanism to seek more
visitors is through sponsorship
of various events, including the
Springfest crafts show with a
barbecue pork cookoff, Old
South Days, Independence
Day observances, the Yellow
Daisy fall craft show and
festival which is usually at
tended by over 250,000 people,
and the Scottish Highland
games, Morris added. A chili
cookoff will be held at the park
next week.
There is a $4 per car per day
parking fee or a season parking
pass may be obtained for sls
a season, Morris said.

Durham said they have not
been successful in locating the
owner of the property east of
the Highway 100 right-of-way
to obtain permission for the
project.
DOT
Georgia Department of
Transportation (DOT) officials
Ron Hess said last week that
the DOT would welcome a
private effort to place markers
at the graves beside the
highway, although the DOT
plans to move the re-laning
project west by about six feet
to avoid the graves in the right
of-way on the east side of the
roadway. The DOT was not
aware that graves existed in
the right-of-way when it
designed the project, Hess
said, althougg the grave
markers just outside the right
of-way were noted at the time.
The Caldwells and
Durhams asked that the pro
perty owner contact them to
discuss obtaining permission
for clearing the cemetery area.
They may be reached at

Officials of the North
Georgia Crisis Pregnancy
Center are pleased with results
of their second annual telethon,
which generated $22,000 in
pledges last weekend. Local
cable channel six donated air
time. Christian musicians from
the tri-state area provided
entertainment throughout the
three-day event, and a number
of movies and documentaries
was televised.
Center Director Martha
Blansit said the telethon ac
complished the dual goal of
making people more aware of
the services available through
the center and in generating
vital operating funds for the
coming year.
MORE
“The telethon raised about
$2,000 more than last year,”
Mrs. Blansit said. “*We are
growing a little more slowly
than we hoped, but we are very
grateful for the community’s
support.”
According to the director, a
number of people has called for
counseling this week as a result
of the telethon. Others called to
ask questions about the center.
Some have asked for pregnan
cy testing.
Mrs. Blansit said that she
was pleased with the support
the center has received fgom
local churches.
“I think they are more
aware now of what we are do
ing,”” Mrs. Blansit said. “The
üblic is aware now that we of
?er alternatives to abortion. We
are not an abortion clinic. we
offer help to save the baby’s
life.”
In addition to pledges of
support and cash, a number of
peogle has donated baby
clothes and maternity outfits
to the center. Others have
volunteered their time.
CLOTHING
“We are always in need of
nice-looking maternity clothes
for these young women,”’ Mrs.
Blansit said. ‘“We want them
to know that we care about
their needs.”
She was especially pleased
for the donations OF baby
clothes Monday when she was
able to completely outfit a tod
dler whose mother had come in
for counseling.
**Someone donated a whole
ba%ful of nice clothes in the
child’s size,”" Mrs. Blansit said.
“The mother was concerned
about a new pregnancy, but we
were able to do something for
her young child as well. We
care about the whole family."”
To publicize the telethon, a
30-car parade traveled through
downtown Summerville last
Thursday afternoon. A number
of residents also marched or
rode bicycles during the event.
Grand marshals were Micah
McGuire and Dandee Denson.
During the telethon, local
children manned stations to
collect donations in downtown
Summerville. The children rais
ed nearly $3,000 in donations,
with SI,OOO in change. One
11-year-old volunteer was
frightened when a man
pretended to make a donation
and instead grabbed a handful
of dollars from the donation
bucket. He then sped away in
his car.
“The little girl was heart
broken,” Mrs. Blansit said.
“We haven't tried to locate the
man, because we feel that his
conscience will trouble him
enough.”
Haiti Critic, Writer Visits
from second front
Rodman said.
Rodman initiated the idea
for the mural, as a way to per
manentl{ document what he
terms the ‘‘renaissance’ of
Haitian art in the late 1940'5.
So many foreigners were buy
ing up Haitian art during that
time, Rodman feared that soon
none would be left in the
country.
In later efforts, Rodman
would work to help preserve
native architecture ans further
promote Haitian art. He owns
the Renaissance I 1 Art Gallery
in Jacmel.
“Alot of pe(file get the im
pression that Haitian art is
just tourist art, since the art is
so popular,” Rodman said.

According to the author,
this “‘popular art" will most
likely overtake works of
“establishment' artists in
value,
He compares Pennville ar
tist Finster to the Haitian ar
tists in his ability to capture
life and visions in a vital
manner.
To describe these works,
Rodman coined the phrase
“popular art."”
“This is the art made in any
part of the world where ge
nuine folk art of a folk culture
exists and where the innately
talented acquire, by whatever
means, the tools of painting
and sculpture and the incentive
to create for a market, public
or private,” Rodman said in a
fireface to a recent catalog of
is art collection,
Rodman believes that
popular art is closer to real life
than the abstract work of
“civilized" artists in the art
establishment.,
He first met Finster during
an exhibition at Yale Universi
ty several years ago. Rodman ‘
graduated from Yale in 1931.
“I am very much in love |
with Mr. Finster's work," Rod
man said. ‘lt began with the |
first of his paintings I saw at |
Yale. I support Finster: he is an |
outstanding popular artist.” ‘
Rodman described Finster |
as a compulsive artist obsess
ed with his visions, much like

the masters of Haitian popular
art.
Speaking from his
background as a critic, collec
tor and ‘‘trend-setter’’ in the
art world, Rodman believes
that Finster's work will in
crease in importance in years
to come.
“The question is whether
por)ular art, 50 years from now,
will be considered the impor
tant art of this period,” lfod
man said. ‘*‘Some peoHle think
abstract art will still be col
lected 50 years from now."
Rodman believes that
popular art, which reflects the
joy of livin%‘ and most agpeals
to the public, will be the art
that endures.
