(Nus Sed). Ye Editor s Trip To Fort Lauderdale And Return Home JFas A Big Affair In Life (If A One “Gallused Editor” We had long planned on making the trip to “Flurida,” and what little running around we had done, we learned a long time ago that it took “the cash” to put on the Dawg. And for some time we had hedged here and there until we felt fairly safe to take off in our 69 Bonneville Pontiac Wagon, and it was loaded from stem to stern. We made our first stop on Wednesday night about 15 miles South of Jacksonville, where our son visited with a long time friend of his, Frank Richardson and his wife, who have retired and have a gorgeous home just south of the Air Station. He took us all out to “Dinner”, which was suppei to us, and chose a Chinese American restau rant which he said was the best, and we let our host place the order, we got it. and must admit that it was delici ous. but we were never able to get anything to our mouth with the Chop Sticks that had been provided for our din ing pleasure. We did much better with the spoon, but could not help but look for a “rat tail” or some other varmit in the food, but it was delicious. We spent the night in a delightful little motel and next morning we headed for Fort Lauderdale, stopping in Green Cove Springs for a delightful breakfast, and then headed for Orlando. We used the Sunshine Highway go ing and coming, it costs a little money, but we think it was worth every dime. Finally we arrived in Fort I^auderdale in mid afternoon and found our reservation at the Sheraton Hotel of the very best, nothing that you could want for, the rooms was, the dining facilities was tops, and then in the after noon if you wanted to get up among the clouds and enjoy yourself, the facilities on the roof was out of this world, plenty of “good drinks.” phis music and songs, which the Mayor enjoyed a great deal. We enjoyed everything in and around Fort Lauderdale, which we think is.the loveliest city we have ever spent time in. If we get over this trip, and can accumulate a little lextra money, we hope to make a return trip there before we answer “the last call," which no one knows when it will come, soon or late. But to say the least we made one trip, and asked no favors from an.v one, and anything that you have done once is alwavs possible again —F.O.M. Gernwny’s Women May W ell Decide Election—Cocke ATLANTA, (GPS) —Shortly before coming to Atlanta to attend the American Legion’s recent 51st annual convention, Georgia’s Erie Cocke Jr., now a management consultant in Washington, spent considerable time in Germany evaluating the forthcoming German election for a client. The former national com mander of the Legion, who is generally regarded in the na tional capital as an astute an alyst of political affairs, both at home and abroad, made some interesting observations on Bonn's upcoming sixth general election. “The future of the Federal Republic during the next four years,” Cocke said in an inter view, “lies in the hands of 3.5- million German wofnen—from elderly hausfraus to their younger sisters—many of them with little knowledge and less interest in political affairs. “For the women’s vote may well be decisive in the sixth general election on Sept. 28, campaigning for which is now well under way. Out of a total of 38.6-million potential voters, there are 21.1-million women as against 17.5-million men.” Cocke said recent polls indi cated that the majority of men will back Willy Brandt and the Social Democrats. "But,” he added, "few experts doubt that elegant, greying Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesing er, the family friend on the German TV, holds the hearts of the great majority of the wom en. Education, and particularly school and university reform; widows’ pensions, housing and social issues in general are the vote winners on which the three leading party managers and their colleagues among the smaller parties are concentrat ing, Cocke said.

(PRN) - I You are often literally in the I clouds visiting Black Rock I Mountain State Park near here. I highest in the Georgia Park ' System. You are so high, you can see four states on a clear I day. ► And if it is coolness you I want, Black Rock Mountain, I with an altitude of 3,800 feet, I has it in abundance. But I coolness is not Black Rock’s monopoly. Mountain crispness is the trademark of the eight parks located in the northeastern sector of the State. In fact, you often discover blankets feel good during the cool of the morning in these parks. Black Rock is not only the highest, but also the largest -1,182 acres-of the seven parks which each year afford a stronger and stronger appeal when the mercury soars. Others in the northeast hill country are Moccasin Creek, Lake Chatuge, Vogel, Blackbum, Tugaloo and Victoria Bryant. Moving westward in the Georgia mountains, you find Moccasin Creek, one of the newer parks, is not far from Black Rock Mountain. Although smaller, 181 acres, it features camping beside a babbling brook as well as near Lake Burton. It is located 25 miles north of Clarkesville on Georgia highway 197. and has a developed campground and a boat launching ramp Fishing, boating and water skiing are popular sports. Still farther west is Lake Chatuge on the lake of the same name a Imost on the Georgia-North Carolina state line. It is the smallest, 14 acres, and is primarily a day use park’ It is located three miles north of Young Harris on U.S. Route 76. Vogel State Park, 11 miles south of Blarisville, on U.S. 19129 is one of the older parks, and one of the most popular.

Vogel can be the base fora trip to Brasstown Baid nearby, highest point in Georgia, or to Neel’s Gap Lookout Point. If you have a yen to pan for gold, Georgia can boast of a park located near the first gold strike in the United States in the vicinity of Dahlonega. The Park is Blackbum, one of the newest additions to the system, which is located on gold bearing soil. There isa sluice for amateur gold panners, but don’t count on getting enough “color” to even pay for a meal. The Park is located seven miles southwest of Dahlonega y.ia Georgia highway 9E, near Auraria, the abandoned gold town. Primitive campsites are available because the Park is still under development. On the Hartwell Reservoir, six miles north of Lavonia, is Tugaloo, one of Georgia’s newest parks, and rapidly becoming a popular one. It is the first state park to be developed on Lake Hartwell’s 962 miles of shoreline. There are lakeside cottages, developed campgrounds, beach, bathhouse, playground, picnic area, boat ramp, rental boats and a Visitors’ Center. Last of the seven mountain parks is Victoria Bryant, four miles east of Royston on Georgia 327. A meandering creek, tumbling over ancient rocks is one of the features as well as a developed campground, children’s playground and fishing. The park covers 381 acres. When the mercury soars, the Tourist Division of the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade suggests that you beat the heat by taking to the hills in the northeastern part of the State.
