Thousands of Georgians regrbt
keenly Che sudden . death last
week of State Highway Depart
ment Secretary-Treasurer Benton
Odom. Mr. Odom had been a
prominent political figure for
many years, and numbered his
fidends by the legions. For many
years, no candidate could count
on carrying Baker County with
out Benton’s support. This col
umn extends its deepest sympa
thy to his family.
The appointment cf Dick Wil
liams, career man in the High
way Department, to succeed Mr.
Odum is the best appointment
could have been made. No
iMMfy knows more about highway
finances than Dick, and he’s an
other man who is extremely well

OCMULGEE NATIONAL MONUMENT
— Georgia’s Indian Heritage
Indian culture demands a share in Georgia’s heritage as equally as
•white-columned plantations and rebel war cries—for the moccasined
foot tracked deeply into Georgia territory thousands of centuries before
the wave of European sails swept them westward.
The romantic legend of the Georgia Indian proves its validity at
Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon. Six successive occupations by I
. 'idifierent Indian groups can be recognized here. The museum at Ocmul
.gee encases the archaelogical remains of these tribes. The facets of their
, ,p»ttnry, farm tools and war weapons pattern sufficient evidence of |
^puthern prehistory.
~ n t The initial tribe in this area, the Wandering Hunters, originated at
close of the Ice Age. These nomadic warriors inhabited central |
Georgia for about 5,000 years. The Shellfish Eaters, who occupied the
region later, left their legacy of clumsily decorated clay pottery mixed
■with grass and moss. The Early Farmers, or Creeks, contributed more
•ophisticated earthenware of elaborately stamped design: and the
h Master Farmers raised the temples and earth lodges which remain at
’Ocmiilgee today. The earth mound, authentically reproduced, was the
meeting place of the Master Farmer leaders to partake of the sacred
caseins tea and deliberate affairs of state. After reciprocal conquests
and defeats, the Early and Master Farmers fused their tribes, creating
a hybrid species of crafts which have been uncovered and are displayed .
at the Museum.
> ■ The Indian is a part of Georgia land—his food cultivated from the '
boil, his mounds and temples constructed with earth’s materials, his
weapons made from formations of earth and time, his body laid in a
shrine of red clay—he is the originator of Georgia civilization.

Macon on U.S. 80 and 129, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Newspapers over the state
have given wide and hearty ap
proval to the budget plan pro

Governor Garland Byrd. The
Macon News, particularly, was
most commendatory. Atlanta

Representative James Mackay,
of DeKalb County, has already
drawn a bill for the next session
of the legislature to set up the
preposed Georgia Department for
Youth. Purpose of such a De
partment would be “for the pro
tection, care, training and super
vision of certain classes of chil
dren and youth”.
This department would admin-

ister the state’s correctional fa-}
cilities for delinquent children;
provide programs of constructive
training for their rehabilitation,
etc. It would be administered by
a Board of 15 members, with six j
year terms, who would appoint i
an Executive Director.
The proposal is already draw- j
ing the fire of some who consider j
such a department a waste of j
money. Max Lockwood, of States- ;
bcro, a Past President of the;
Georgia Recreation Society, made
a speech in which he said that'
the creation of such a department j
would be “one of the greatest •
mistakes of our time.” He said
that present agencies are doing
the job well.

The unreasonableness of the

in Georgia last week when they

McNamara not to come to the
dinner, and even complained to
the White House. They got no

The Wheeler County State Bank
Salutes Mrs. Lena M. Hartley
As Citizen Os The Week
Mrs. Hartley was born in Telfair County and came
to Wheeler County as the bride of Carlos C. Hartley
in 1913. Mr. and Mrs. Hartley have two sons and two
grandsons. Miss Lena started to work in the Alamo Post
Office in 1930 and worked the first four years without
। pay. She retired October 31, 1961.
Miss Lena is a charter member of the Wheeler
County P.-T.A., and is also an active member of the
Alamo Baptist Church, W.M.U. and the Alamo Garden
I Club.
Miss Lena’s many deeds of kindness can never be
recorded, so the Wheeler County State Bank wishes
j to honor Miss Lena as Citizen of the Week.
| Georgia told us last week that
Marvin Griffin has slipped badly
in their county. Previously, they
had thought he would carry it
overwhelmingly. Now, they say
! he won’t, that people are begin
i ning to say that even if Marvin
1 didn’t steal any State money,
1 himself, he ought to have known
i that people around him were
। stealing it.

■ State Board of Corrections Di
rector Jack Forrester revealed
' last week that Fulton County
sends 44% of all misdemeanor

of the state’s population. Forres
ter plans some definite recom
mendations to alleviate this sit
uation. The General Assembly is
likely to be asked for remedial
legislation.
