H. A. WILLIAMS COUNTY
CHAIRMAN “GEORGIA
HALL’’ FOR ROOSEVELT
Atlanta, Ga., March 21.—
(Special to The Record)—Geor
gia Hall, gift of fouifhation, Georgians to
Warm Springs is
the objective of a campaign
launched this week by a group
of enthusiastic Georgians. The
proposed building, to be erected
at a cost of $199,900, is designed
to replace the old wooden struc
ture in which the physically
handicapped patients are now
housed. It will be the first and
central unit in a plan that will
provide an adequate home for
the Fonndation and all its activ
ities. It will also serve as a
practical testimonial of the ad
miration of Georgians for Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, the humanita
rian—a tribute to his dauntless
courage and heroic achievement.
Cason J. Callaway, of La
Grange, is chairman of the cam
paign, and Cator Woolford, of
Atlanta, vice chairman. A state
wide organization lias been
formed with a chairman in each
county. H. A. Williams has been
appomted to direct the campaign
in Glascock county.
In announcing the movement,
Mr. Callaway makes the follow
ing statement: “The great heart
of Georgia cannot fail to respond
promptly and liberally to this
movement which means so much
to the great humanitarian,
Franklin I). Roosevelt, and to
the unfortunates who have been
visited with physical disabilities.
Mr. Roosevelt has given liberally
of his time, efforts and money to
this worthy cause and we of
Georgia must do our part toward
this work. Those of us at head
quarters are giving our time and
efforts without expense to the
fund and each dollar that is
raised will he converted into
brink and mortar so that the old
wooden and dangerous building
may he replaced by this safe and
modern Georgia Hall.”
