CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Clay Morgan Laura S. Walker State Park We have a very nice article, which was printed in the Miami Herald, praising this park.
The Department o:f State Parks wishes to extend its sympathy to the family of Mr. Freeman Sasser. l\1r. Sasser worked for many years to establish the Senoia State Park. \ITe know that it is certainly a loss to the people of the cotnty and to his many friends in Senoia Georgia
**** * *

Joe Mahan of the Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts will be the principal speaker at the opening ceremony.
The exhibits in the museum will depict Indian history dating back more than 6,000 years. Starting at the right of the entrance and circling the museum, the exhibits will portray Indian history up to the time the Indians left Kolomoki.
The wall cases have exquisite Indian figurines, carved of wood, used to show family life and village life, some of the cases display blades, spear-points and atlatl which were found at Kolomoki. There are sixteen cases around the walls.
The attractive modern building at the chief's burial mound has been refinished and is now of brick veneer. Recently a large bronze bust of an Indian chief was placed in this museum to show the probable features the Indians possessed who once lived in this Indian village site.
The most important part of the exhibit is the large central pit; found to be seven feet below the old ground surface, and nineteen feet below the top of the mound, it was here the ashes of the chief were found.

In God shall be my hope, my stay, my guide and lantern to my feet.

Everyone is welcome!

HECm;:\TIUIJ - The Final Product

By Senator Robert S. Kerr, of Oklahoma

Psychologists probing deeply into :;he minds of our restless age have
discovered that man must feel he is a useful part of a vast 3 orderly scheme. Without this 1 he is subject to 1 intolerable aloneness and demoni(., fears and pressures;; . The farmer
worked under ever-changing skies. The seasons v.Jere meaningful. He
savr \'later, sun, soil, and the gentle decay of time produce life and death and life again. He had a
sense of personal creation when he broke the soil, planted the seed, and cut the grain. How many of us
today are able to sense the moving majesty of nature and its eternal pattern? The only glimpse millions
have is on summer vJeelcends when they jan onto crm'J'c:.8d beaches. Many jobs
aro monotonousJ repetitive, and uncreative. Life too often moves
along on an assembly-line basis.

Man must be able to escape from his problems and relax. When the farmer's work vms done 3 the ground planted or th;; crop harvested or the fence repaired, he would set out with his dog and gun for a hunt or vli th his fishing pole for a quiet 1 clearwater stream. Or his VJife would paclc a lunch and the whole family flOuld go to the river to fish and swim by day and sleep under the stars at night. A curse of 01...1r tlmes today is an inability to relax.

We have truly reached that stage

President James A. Garfield saw pro-

Phetically in 18[30. He said, 1'\tle

may divide the v11hole struggle of the

human race into two chapters; first

the fight to get leisure, and then

the second fight of civilization -

what shall we do vJi th our leisure

when

we

get

it 1 '.

Bertrand Russell

adds, ;'To be able to fill leisvre

intelligently is the last product

of civilization.n

The trouble is that recreation, until very recently, has been treated as a luxury. When, before the Civil War, the great American poet 3 William Cullen Bryant, proposed that New York City buy a large tract of land for a 11 Central Parl{11 , he was hooted down as a wild and extravagant dreamer. Some years later it w~u bought and today Central Park is a great treasure. How much peace it has given to sick and lonely hearts can never be measured.
Fifty years ago, a boy could go five miles from Boston 3 spend the day digging mud clams and seldon see another human being. Even around New York City, if you did not like the crowds of Coney Island, there were miles of nearly deserted sand beaches along Long Island. This, of course, is no more. In
1934, some five million people
visited New York state park beaches; twenty years later the figure was sixty-one million.
The state parks are jammed with visitors. No longer can the camper or tourist travel across the land and drive into a state park without a reservation or without at least reaching there early in the day.
Where will we find the land and water we need? The answer to this is for cities and states and the federal government to scour the countryside for recreation sites. This can easily be a part of the overall water conservation program. In replanting the forests to hold the water and in building earthen or concrete dams to check the floods irrigate the land, and provide lowcost power> the government - s0me what to its surprise - has declared a huge recreation dividend. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation have built 263 artificial lakes and reservoirs,
which 3 in 1958, drew more than a

The Corps of Engineers, The r-1arine Patrol, and the Georgia Department of Game & Fish patrolled the area to keep boats out of the way while the show was going on. Everything went off according to schedule and there were no Elccidents. Even the weather man was good to us, for it was the first Sund~~r in four weeks that it had not rained.

BLACK ROCK MOUNTAIN STATE PARK
Located near the Blue Ridge resort towns of Clayton and f!Jountain City i[ Black Rock Mountain State Park.
Consisting of 1,200 acres and reaching a height of 3,800 feet, this park has long been a favorite point for hikers. Black Rock Mountain was named because of its humped shoulders which is a sheer cliff of dark granite. One of the best assets of the area is a viewing point where you can see as far as 30 miles on a clear day; this includes the Carolinas as well as Georgia.
A paved road, officially named Talmadge Trail; runs from the main highway at Mountain City to the top of the Mountain. Here the waters flow vJestward to form the Little Tennessee which flows eventually into the Mississippi, and eastward into the headwaters of the Savannah River. According to the Indian legend 2 Notla, the son of the Cherokee Chief, saw and fell in love with Hiawassee, the daughter of the Catawba Chief, who hated the Cherokees. Notla asked for her hand in marriage. Ovtraged, her father said he wot1ld never give his consent until Notla could find the place '\IJhere the eastern and western waters meet. By chance, Notla found this spot and claimed Hiawassee.
Her father refused and the two ran away and settled in the valley at Hiawassee.
The Park is Close to a number of hotels and facilities for boating and fishing in the clear mountain streams. ~vi thin a radius of a few miles are twelve lal<:e s .
This corner of Georgia has become a popular resort section, and to add to the pleasures, Black Rock offers a beautiful picnic and concession building; sanitary facilities_ and a site is partially develaped for limited trailer and tent camping. The park has been well lighted so as to accommodate visitors at night,.

and a resident superintendent is on duty at all times during the open season. This is reached by U. S. Highway LJ-41 and 23.

GEORGIA
Plans to create a new agency to promote Georgia's tourist industry were announced by Walter Catesj executive vice president of the State Chamber of Commerce.
The agency will be known as a tourist council. It also is to take steps to combat speed traps and clip joints) Cates said.
He said the cotmcil would have a businessman director and a full-time manager and would be the ;. single largest step' taken so far in boosting tourism in the state.
Cates said a realization by the public of the potential of the $400 million tourist industry would create pressures necessary to get rid of speed traps and gambling joints that prey on tourists.
Clip joints and gambling places recently were found to be fleecing tourists in southeast Georgia through Illicit games ofmance. A grand jury investigation resulted in the indictment of several persons on gambling charges. Such establishments in several other counties have been shut down as a result of state level investigations.

NOTE: ALL PARK SUPERINTENDENTS

LETTERS FROM VISITORS
Dear Mr. Collier:
I spent last week at Indian Springs State Park. I have been having so much trouble with my back, so someone told me they gave mineral baths and massages on the grounds.
I took the baths and massages and they worked wonders for me. Mrs. Willie Hamlin worked so faithful with me, until I feel almost like a new person.
I didn't realize we had something that wonderful in Georgia.
I will certainly go back to Mrs. Hamlin when or if I ever have trouble of that nature again.
I do appreciate this wonderful type of work being done for people.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Perry Sardis~ Georgia

Dear Mr. Collier:
On September 17 Messrs. Robert C. Squier and William L. Featherstone of this office visited the Stephen C. Foster State Park in connection with a recreational plan they are preparing for the U. S. Study Commission. Their visit was made most interesting and profitable by the Superintendent, George Sirmans.
Mr. Sirmans took them on a boat trip into the deeper parts of the Okefenokee Swamp and made it an unforgettable experience because of his intimate knowledge of the plant ans aninal life of the Swamp . Afterwards, he was quite helpful in ganeral discussions about the Okefenokee.
Please tell Mr. Sirmans how much his services that day were appreciated. His enthusiasm and friendly manner are a credit to the Georgia Department of State Parks.
Sincerely yours,
Neal A. Butterfield Regional Chief of Recreation Resource

LETTERS (Continued)
Dear Mr. Collier:
I would like to take this opportunity to express my many thanks for the use of Little Ocmulgee State Park at McRae, Georgia on the night of August 6, 1960.
I would also like to commend two of your employees, Mr. Willcox and Mr. Hinson who were more than
ice to us and went out of their way to see that we were comfortable and that all the facilities were available for our use. The job these two gentlemen did was more than adequate.
Thanks to you and your staff again and if there is ever anything I can do to help you, please do not hesitate to call on me.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Darden:
I wish to express my sincerest thanks to you for a most enjoyable week which you afforded us at the A. H. Stephens State Park. I never thought that Georgia had such a beautiful state park. I am sure that your work had much to do in making the park what it is, a truly beautiful recreational area in which all Georgians can be proud. All of us from Marist were more than satisfied with the facilities, and we appreciated the ready assistance you gave us on several occasions. The coaches, the boys, and I were very pleased with everything at the park.
I hate to mention this, but we lost our first football game against Westminister 20-13. It must have

been that easy living at camp that did it. I think we can get on the winning road next Friday against Decatur.
I would appreciate it if you would keep us in mind for next year ..... . we would like to return around the fourth week of August.
You are to be congratulated on your fine park. It is quite evident that you take great pride in your work.
Regards to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Rev. William F. Seli, SM Director of Athletics Marist College

Dear Miss Rankin:
I want to express my thanks and the thanks of three different groups of children from the E. P. Howell Community Center for making our camping trips to the park this summer such pleasant experiences.
I have never known people who were more efficient or more pleasant and courteous in the discharge of their duties; nor have Iever seen a park kept so clean and inviting in appearance. I would also like to make special mention of the strict attention which the lifeguards paid to their job.
In closing, I will say we certainly intend to go back again and many thanks for all the courtesies extended to us.
Sincerely yours,
