TOUR
GEORGIA
ATLANTA (PRN) - In
mid-October, the trees in
North Georgia form a
patchwork quilt of brilliant
shades of yellow, red, purple,
gold, orange and brown.
Jack Frost comes first to
the highlands where the
Appalachians spill into
Georgia, and moves as far
south as Callaway Gardens,
Pine Mountain and Savannah.
Mountain elevations
approach a mile high, and in
the remote coves, you find
bits of mountain life that
remained unchanged for
centuries until the advent of
the auto and paved highways.
Rounding a curve on a
mountain highway, you
suddenly glimpse a rustic
farmhouse in a fantastic color
setting with smoke lazily
curling from the chimney,
corn in shocks and the
peaceful air of autumn
everywhere. There are covered
bridges still standing - the
majority of Georgia’s are in
the mountains - and what is
more autumnual than a rustic
bridge in a setting of riotous
colors?
In addition to the
Chattachoochee National
Forest, there are State Parks.
Particularly beautiful during
the fall are such parks as
Amicalola Falls near Juno,
Black Mountain near
Mountain City, and Cloudland
Canyon near Rising Fawn.
There is a tremendous
panoramic view from Fort
Mountain Park near
Chatsworth where you can
visit a pre-historic Indian tort
and climb an observation
tower. Other colorful parks
are Hard Labor Creek at
Rutledge, Red Top Mountain
at Cartersville, Unicoi near the
little town of Helen, and
Vogel at Blairsville on Lake
Trahlyta.
In the southern half of the
State, Jack Frost presents
outstanding leaf shows at
Indian Springs State Park,
Franklin D. Roosevelt at Pine
Mountain, and Little
Ocmulgee at Mcßae.
Highway overlooks are
numerous in North Georgia,
and offer spectacular color
panoramas. You find
particularly colorful views at
Cohutta Overlook on U.S. 76
near Ellijay, Spoilcane
Overlook on Georgia 75 near
Helen, and at the Chestatee
Overlook on Georgia 60 near
Dahlonega. Brasstown Bald,
highest point in Georgia,
offers striking views from the
Visitor’s Center. Elevation
here is 4,784 feet above sea
level. But these aren't the only
ones - you find gorgeous,
color panoramas everywhere
you look when Jack Frost has
been busy with his paintbrush.
There is no doubt, there is
color in an autumn leaf tour
of Georgia -• gorgeous, riotous
color at that.

Financing Os
Higher Education
The mechanics of financing
higher education for Georgia
residents will be the topic for
a two-day session at Callaway
Gardens, October 14-15.
The second annual meeting of
the Georgia Association of Stu
dent Financial Aid Administra
tors will bring together repre
sentatives of the lending insti
tutions throughout the state
that have advanced more than
sls million to Georgia students
during the past three years, of
ficials of the Georgia Higher
Education Assistance Corpora
tion, the stae agency that has
guaranteed these loans; and the
college and university financial
aid directors who assist and
advise students with financial
problems.
Described as a “Dialogue For
Communications,” the program
will feature sessions for the
discussion of “everything from
application forms to computer
ized interest billings,” Donald
E. Payton, executive director
of the Georgia Higher Educa
tion Assistance Corporation,
announced.
“This seminar should do
much to assist educational in
stitutions, foundations, lending
institutions, government
agencies and private commun
ity organizations to promote
and develop effective programs
pertinent to student financial
aid in every Georgia county,”
Payton said.
Under the program of the
Georgia Higher Education As
sistance Corporation, guaran
teed loans are provided for stu
dents who are bona fide resi
dents of Georgia. Payton ex
plained that the student secures
a loan from a lending institu
tion and if his family’s adjust
ed income is less than $15,000
per annum, the government
pays the interest on the loan
while he is in school. After com
pleting his education the stu
dent repays the principal of
the loan and only three per cent
of the interest.
Representatives from all
lending institutions in Georgia
have been invited to attend the
meeting at Callaway Gardens,
and those planning to attend
have been instructed to make
their reservations directly with
the motels in Callaway Gar
dens. Institutions participating
in the student loan program in
clude banks, savings and loan
associations, credit units, and
insurance companies.

ATLANTA (PRN) - The
Superintendents of the State
Schools held their “Operation
Bootstrap” conference last
week at Lake Jackson,
Georgia. Jackie Williams,
President and Chairman of the
Board of AAA Enterprises, in
Atlanta, was a featured
speaker, and he assigned the
task of preparing youth for
the world of work, to the
Superintendents.

spoof of Georgia politics and
politicians, will be held

each year.
“This is the sixth Cracker
Crumble in as many years, and
it promises to be one of the
best. This is an election year,
and therefore we have a great
deal of material with which to
work. And we are very
fortunate that Celestine Sibley
has agreed to be mistress of
ceremonies,” McCullough said.

business and civic leaders.
McCullough pointed out
that in past years the public
has had the idea that the
Cracker Crumble was not
open, but by invitation only.
“This idea is incorrect,” he
said.
“The Georgia Press
Association wants as many
people as possible to attend
the Cracker Crumble. Anyone
may purchase tickets by
calling our office or by writing
to the Georgia Press
Association at 126 Courtland
Street, S.E. in Atlanta. The
number of tickets is limited,
so reservations should be made
early,” McCullough added.
The show consists of skits
and songs which are designed
to make the politicians laugh
at themselves and see the
often humorous side of
political events of the past
year. All proceeds go to the
scholarship ’ fund of the
Georgia Press Educational
Foundation. The funds are
used for financial aid to
college students majoring in
journalism.

ReportQ^y People
ATLANTA (PRN) - We’re
making progress in Georgia
which in every citizen ought
to take pride. Demands upon
their government are
increasing. People have now
become accustomed to
honesty in government and
they see the advantage to
them, just as they see the
advantage of efficiency in
government. Now they
demand it.
They want
a full dol
lar’s value
in services
for every
dollar in
tax money.
They
want ser
vices they
can get
nowhere else, and they
demand thrift, efficiency and
sound business methods that
will give them full value for
every tax dollar spent.
And this Administration is
meeting these demands of our
people. We are bringing
Georgia forward hand in hand
with honesty, efficiency and
morality, and month by
month we are breaking records
in progress.
Our economy is growing at
a pace never before seen.
Thousands of jobs are being
created annually for those
who need them and want
them. The fiscal year just
rnding June 30th saw our
state grow in new and
expanded industry by more
than 625 million dollars.
In the past fourteen
months, Georgia has gained
over 700 million dollars in
new and expanded industry.
According to available figures,
this is more than the entire
decade of the 1950’5.
Ladies and gentlemen, this
is an amazing leap forward by
all Georgia, a leap of which we
can all be proud, and one to
which you have contributed.
But no Georgian can afford
to relax and become
complacent We need to
expand those programs that
draw jobs and capital to
Georgia, and we need to create
opportunity for new plants
and capital in those areas of
our state that remain
economically stagnant.
Far too often, the very
areas that desperately need
4-H Week Being Observed
National 4-H Week, October
6-12, is being observed across
the nation by more than three
million 4-H youths, a half-mil
lion volunteer leaders, thous
ands of professional workers
and friends of 4-H.
The unprecendented expan
sion of 4-H in the last decade
will be highlighted, according
to D. E. Med <1 er s, County
Agent.
One of the advances in 4-H
project work has been more
emphasis on science, experimen
tation and efficient farm and
home management. Personal
development and leadership also
have been accelerated.
Introduction to 4-H via tele
vision is another maj o r ad
vance. Projects such as general
science, automotive, electric,
dog care and training, and
emergency preparedness are
, among the TV series offered by
the Cooperative Extension
l Service. About a million bovs

new plants and fresh economic
opportunities are the very
ones that have little-to offer
an industry in search of a
location.
The answer, and I have been
saying it for 15 years, is to
provide these needy areas with
increased state financial
assistance and planning that
will enable them to provide
the water and sewerage
systems, the roads, the
schools, the policemen and
firemen, and other personnel
and facilities industry
demands before it locates.
Industry, in many cases,
had rather go to a small town
or rural area in preference to a
congested metropolitan area.
In fact, since World War 11, the
trend in the nation’s industries
has been to decentralize, and
these industries, in many
cases, are actively seeking
small towns and rural areas
which provide the political,
social and economic climate
they need to make their
industry a success.
Therefore, knowing the
need of cities and counties in
many parts of Georgia, and
knowing that we must begin
now to provide greater
opportunities for our
youngsters, even for Georgians
yet unborn, I am going to ask
for increased aid to cities and
counties in the annual amount
of one half cent of the Georgia
Sales Tax for cities, and
one-fourth of one cent, or a
minimum of 25 million
dollars, for our counties.
This will be a greater
advance in Georgi a
government and a greater
benefit to all her people than
we have witnessed in many
years.
It will herald a new day for
progress in our state —
It will mean a new, a
brighter life for all our people.
It is a tough goal, probably
the most difficult goal any
governor has been called upon
to reach in several decades.
But I believe the people of this
state will support this program
of progress for all. And I
believe their elected
representatives in the General
Assembly will do the same.
This program needs your
support. We must begin now
— not later — what should
have been started 20 years
ago.
