They become even more spectacular when photographed with infrared film. (PRN) (Ga. Dept, of Industry and Trade) 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.

Glen McCullough, executive manager of the Georgia Press Association, announced that Celestine Sibley will be this year’s mistress of ceremonies. The Georgia Press Association sponsors and stages the show 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. Attending each year are Georgia politicians great and small.

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.

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. Gov. LgotrCMaddox 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.

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. in TV 4-H this year.
