Creeks have come back to
Macon. And relocated
members of the Indian tribe
that calls this city its ancestral
home are already making a
viable contribution to middle

This summer saw the
opening of the Creek Indian
Trading Post at Ocmulgee
National Monument near
Macon. Managed by Indians,
the trading post sells authentic
crafts handmade by various
tribes in Oklahoma -- jewelry
of solid silver and of bright
beads; leather bags and belts;
rugs, blankets and pottery
adorned with tribal symbols;
colorful fringed shawls and
headdresses; tiny drums and
make-believe arrows for
children.
The trading post is housed
in the refurbished terrace level
of the monument’s
administration building, set
amidst acres of park-like
grounds on the eastern edge of
the city. Ceremonial dances
with participants in full
costume are a regular feature
on the patio fronting the
unique shop.
A number of the
newcomers, who also double
as dancers, act as tour guides
at the archaeological museum,

The trading post grew out
of recent successful efforts of
the Macon Chamber of
Commerce to bring Creek
Indians back to their ancestral
home in central Georgia after
more than 130 years. The
Bureau of Indian Affairs and
the National Park Service have
joined the Chamber in a
program which offers
employment as well as
scholarships at Mercer
University.
Located on U.S. 80 east of
Macon, Ocmulgee is the largest
archeological restoration of
ancient Indian civilization to
be found in the East, depicting
six different group
occupancies from 8000 B.C.
to 1717 A.D. The monument
is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5

The Department of
Industry and Trade, Tourist
Division, says a visit to
Ocmulgee National Monument
offers a rare opportunity for a

American Indian as well as his
contemporary crafts, both
presented by descendants of
the area’s original citizens.

Ocmulgee Acad.
7th Grade Hears
Guest Speaker
“Bonjour,” he said with a
smile. And then he asked,
“Parlez-vous Francais?”
Jean-Jacques Bart thusly
initiated his visit last week
with the seventh grade social
studies class at Ocmulgee
Academy.
Jean-Jacques, at the invita
tion of Mrs. Janice Cochran,
teacher of seventhgrade social
studies at Ocmulgee Academy,
told the students about much
of the history of France. He
told that Paris was almost
totally destroyed during World
War 11. The military academy
which he will attend next year
was completely destroyed dur
ing the last world war. How
ever, the original stones were
salvaged and in the year 1960,
these stones were once more
put together to construct the.
present military academy.
Jean-Jacques showed pictures
of this school to the class.
The students were interes
ted to realize, after hearing
Jean-Jacques speak his native
French language so fluently,
that the English language in
corporates many French

words into its everyday usage.
The story behind Jean-
Jacques’ visit to America is
fascinating within itself. He
was a guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Benham Stewart of Singing
Pines Plantation near Glen
wood. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart
became acquainted with the
Bart family through the Palo
mino Horse Breeders Associ
ation of Mineral Wells, Texas.
Two years ago, this organ
ization referred Jean-
Jacques’ brother to Singing
Pines Plantation to do re
search on his doctoral thesis,
“Breeding Palomino Horses.”
Jean-Jacques’ brother was
so impressed with the Glen
wood area, that he requested
a visit for Jean -Jacques. Mr.
and Mrs. Stewart honored the
request and enabled Jean-
Jacques to attend the riding
clinic which is held each sum
mer at Singing Pines Planta
tion. While a visitor, he also
toured the mountains of North
Georgia and Tennessee.
The students were pleased
to hear that Jean-Jacques,
also, was delighted with his
visit to this area. He said that
his younger sister may come
over for a visit next year.
Ocmulgee Academy looks for
ward to a visit by another
member of the Bart family.
The Academy knows that she
will enrich the minds of its
students with knowledge of life
in another country in the same
way Jean-Jacques has done.
Housewives can surprise and
delight their youngsters by
placing several peanut choco
late candy bars in the freezer
and then occasionally tucking
one in the child’s school lunch
box. It will be defrosted and
ready to eat at noon without
any melted mess.
Ocmulgee Academy
Gets New Swings
For Kindergarten
Ocmulgee Academy has re
cently' acquired a beautiful new
swing set for Mrs. Tera
Allen’s kindergarten children.
The swing set is the gift of an
anonymous donor. Mrs. Allen
stated that she is so proud
and happy with the gift, but
she added, “I just don’t know
whom I should thank.”
The Academy and Mrs. Allen
are thusly usingthenewspaper
medium to say, “Thank you!
Thank you!” to the person or
persons who donated the lovely
swing set for the kindergarten
children at Ocmulgee Acad
emy. “They will enjoy the
fun of swinging and sliding for
years to come. Thank you!”
Between 1951 and 1971
farmers’ prices for food prod
ucts at the farm gate have gone
up 6 per cent, while consum
ers’ food prices at the store
have gone up 43 per cent.
Simultaneously, the farmers’
share of the food dollar shrank
from 49 cents to 38 cents.
