lifestyle that appeals to all ages. (PRN)

GEORGIA
Y<
LUMPKIN (PRN) - The
Fourth of July word from
Westville: “Arrive early, dress
comfortably, and enjoy a full
day of old-time entertain
ment.”
Using historic Westville,
Lumpkin’s recreated 1850 s
village, as the ideal setting for
an old-fashioned Fourth, local
citizens have planned an array
of activities ranging from a
greased pole climb on the
town square to a reading of
the Declaration of
Independence at the Camp
Meeting Arbor.
Westville’s gates open at 10
a.m., and traditional barbecue
and brunswick stew will be
served beginning at noon.
Dessert? What else but a
watermelon eating contest.
Marvin Griffin, former
Governor of Georgia, will
deliver the Independence Day
oration at 3 p.m. His mode of
transportation in the vintage
villege will be a carriage
originally owned by George
Towns, Governor of Georgia
in 1850.
As restoration projects
progress at Westville, visitors
will want to schedule return
trips to view recent additions
to the town’s homes and
public buildings. Newly
completed and open to guests
are the Stewart County
Academy, built in 1832 in the
northwest section of
Lumpkin; a doctor’s office
opened in 1845 by Dr. William
Hati.

Dixie Business
Dixie Business Magazine,
styled as “The Voice of Sou
thern Progress,” has selected
W. 0. DuVall, chairman of
the board of Atlanta Federal
Savings & Loan Association,
as its “Great American” for
1971.
The award, announced by
Dixie Business publisher Hu
bert F. Lee at an Atlanta
Kiwanis Club meeting, cited
DuVall for “his outstanding
contributions to the business
and civic life of his com
munity.”
DuVall has been president
of the U. S. Savings & Loan
League; was a member of the
Fulton County Board of Public
Welfare, and is a trustee of
Young Harris College and At
lanta Baptist College.
Facts are very often stub
born things dnd well con
cealed.
What would you do
without electricity?
Very little. You couldn’t enjoy any of the
electric comforts and conveniences, of course. You
also probably wouldn’t enjoy a very high standard
of living, because the availability of electric power
is a very large factor in building business, industry,
jobs and prosperity for us all. Which is why it’s a
very good thing that Georgia’s consumer-owned
electric utilities were formed. Without us, some
1.25 million Georgians living over 80% of the area
of the state would be powerless. And prosperity-less.
If we don’t light you up, we probably do light up
someone you know or love. We do that so no one
will have to do without.
