T hree winters ago, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Worthy were driving from their Ohio home to vacation in Florida. At the Georgia Welcome Center in Ringgold, they stopped and browsed through information about Georgia tourism. They were so intrigued that they decided to detour-first through the majestic panoramas of Georgia's mountains, then on to the vibrant pulse of booming Atlanta, the rolling hills and historic towns of the Piedmont, the 18th Century beauty of Savannah, the lazy warmth of the Golden Isles, the mystery of Okefenokee. The detour was so enjoyable that they spent their whole vacation in Georgia.
The Worthys liked more than the tourist sites. The mild climate was refreshing. They noticed the clean air and abundant water. They saw neat, modern manufacturing plants in small towns as well as cities. They appreciated the courtesy and the quality of service they received throughout Georgia.
Their experiences set Paul Worthy thinking on another track. A manufacturer of prefabricated building panels, he had been considering the feasibility of a new plant location. He wrote Georgia's Department of Community Development for information about labor force, wages, transportation, taxes, utilities and other factors making the critical differences on profits and lossand the enjoyment of life.
He liked what he read, and asked to hear more. An Industrial Development Division representative responded by telephone and then with a personal visit to gather specifics of Worthy's needs. A Department computer located potential plant sites; a State airplane took Mr. Worthy to examine sites and talk with local officials and businessmen.
Today, Worthy Building Panels are being assembled in a Middle Georgia plant, and Mr. and Mrs. Worthy are living a few miles away.
The Paul Worthys are not specific individuals, but a composite of many thousands who have discovered that Georgia is a good place to do business and a good place to live.
We believe that Georgia sells itself. Our job at the Georgia Department of Community Development is to tell you what's here, and how we can help you make the most of it.

Southernmost of the 13 original states, Georgia was chartered by King George II and settled by British in 1733 as a military outpost and an agricultural colony.
During most of the years that followed, agriculture remained Georgia's dominant business, and cotton its dominant crop. Despite gradual industrialization, Georgia's population as late as the 1950 census was classified as majority rural.
But the winds of change were blowing swiftly. The small farm ceased to be economically feasible. Cotton production shifted to other parts of the nation and the world. Georgia looked to new livelihoods, not only for those who had been making their living on the land, but also for the young people graduating into a new economic world.
Encouraged by its record in World War II for retraining farm workers for complex major industrial jobs, Georgia launched a concerted postwar campaign of industrial development, enlisting the cooperation of State and local governments, and private enterprise. It has resulted in the past quarter century in a dramatic burst of economic and population growth. In the 1970 census, nearly two-thirds of Georgia's 4.6 million citizens were classified as urban.
Employment is well spread among manufacturing, sales, and the service industries. Certain areas of Georgia have developed specialties. Most of America's tufted textiles, for example, are produced in eight Northwest Georgia counties around Dalton, which is deservedly known as "the tufted textile capital of the world:'
Hartsfield International Airport (right) is nation's second busiest.

Georgia's convenient location and excellent transportation networks help make it a prime industrial choice. It has two deepwater ports (above: container freight facility at Savannah) and three inland barge terminals. Road system includes five Interstates and 18,000 miles of Statemaintained highways ..Some 5,500 miles of rail criss-cross Georgia with freight service.

Atlanta is a financial, management and transportation center. Chemical production is concentrated on the Atlantic Coast and Savannah River. Southwest Georgia specializes in naval stores (resin, turpentine, etc.), of which Georgia produces more than half the world's supply. Northeast Georgia, around Gainesville, is a broiler and egg center. Georgia is among the nation's top producers of both. Most of the world's kaolin clay comes from Georgia. Its mining is concentrated in the east central part of the state.
GEORGIA SELLS ITSELF How has Georgia adapted so effectively to a changing economy? It has taken planning, of course. It has taken individual commitment. But Georgia sells itself with its benign climate, its convenient location, its abundant natural resources, and the positive work attitudes of its people. They make Georgia an economical and logical place to do business. It's that simple.
CLIMATE Average temperatures for the state as a whole range from a low of 47.SoF in January to a mid-summer high of 79.8 in July. That sounds like mild, pleasant living, and it is. But it means much more:
V' Substantially lower heating bills. V' Almost no man-hours lost to ice or snow. V' Reduced loss of man-hours to cold-weather-related illnesses.
LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION Georgia's geographical location makes it a natural center for Southeastern operations. But a glance at transportation maps demonstrates its gateway role even more clearly. Its air routes and highways make it a national focal point. Its ports link it with the world.
AIR SERVICE In the United States, Atlanta's Harts-
field International Airport is second only to Chicago's O'Hare in number of passenger enplanements. It offers frequent nonstop service to more than half the nation's population, with convenient through or connecting flights to most of the rest. Atlanta is a transfer or stopover point for

flights to most Southern cities. It is headquarters for America's fifth largest trunk carrier, Delta Air Lines, and a regional carrier, Southern Airways. It also is served by Eastern, United, Northwest, National, TWA, Braniff, Piedmont, Air South, and freight carriers.
Hartsfield for many years has been a port of entry and exit for air freight, and more recently it has added overseas passenger service. Direct flights are available to Mexico City, Jamaica, San Juan and Bermuda, and throughplane flights to London and Frankfort.
Ten other Georgia cities also are served by scheduled carriers.
Recognizing the growing value of general aviation-especially the use of small- and medium-sized craft in business operations - Georgia more than

a decade ago launched a campaign to become a community airport leader. Today, some 150 airports are available for general aviation in Georgia.
HIGHWAYS Five Interstate highways web Geor-
gia. These mesh with a 100,OOO-mile road system, including 18,000 miles of State-maintained highways, to provide Georgia a thorough and efficient highway grid.
TRUCK FREIGHT Georgia is served by some 100 sched-
uled truck carriers and more than 400 irregular-route carriers, commodity carriers and contract haulers. Destinations as distant as New York, Chicago and St. Louis receive three-day service from most parts of Georgia, and plentiful direct, one-line routes are available to major U.S. population centers.

RAILROADS Railroads played a major role in
the development of Georgia, including the founding of Atlanta, and they continue an important freight-hauling role today. Some 5,500 miles of rail lines serve two major systems, Southern Railway and Seaboard Coast Line, and various smaller carriers.

PORTS AND WATERWAYS

The Georgia Ports Authority oper-

ates deepwater ports at Savannah

and Brunswick, and inland river barge

terminals at Augusta, Bainbridge

and Columbus.

Served by more than 100 steal}'l~

lines from all parts of the world, the

Port of Savannah is the biggest and

coast. The Ports Authority's Ocean

Terminal and Garden City Terminal,

together with privately owned facili-

ties, offer 58 berths at Savannah. The Authority also operates a LASH (Lighter Aboard Ship) terminal in the mouth of the Savannah River. Modern heavy-capacity facilities at Garden City Terminal include two container berths and cranes, and two dry bulk berths, as well as 12 general berths. Both deepwater ports, Savannah and Brunswick, are well served by rail and truck lines, and both have ample, well protected transit storage.
All three inland ports-Columbus, Bainbridge and Augusta- are equipped with up-to-date facilities to handle barge freight. (See more on the ports' international traffic on p. 27).
NATURAL RESOURCES Nature has been generous to Georgia, offering abundant water, forests and a surprising array of mineral resources.
WATER From the skies, on the surface, and
underground, Georgia has bountiful supplies of water. Rainfall averages more than 50 inches a year. Seventeen major rivers course the state, supplemented by thousands of streams and lakes. Across a broad expanse of southern and southeastern Georgia lie the limestone pools of the Ocala aquifer, with supplies sufficient for even the highest-volume industrial users.
Some 400 public systems supply water to residential and industrial customers. Georgia's progressive quality control laws have helped assure clean air and water for the whole state.
WOOD PRODUCTS Forests cover two-thirds of
Georgia's land, and wood products constitute a major industry.
Georgia is the top pulpwoodproducing state in the union. And it produces more than half the world's supply of naval stores - the turpentine and resins used in more than 300 products ranging from paints to plastics. Lumber mills operate in every part of Georgia.
MINERALS Georgia rarely is considered a min-
ing state, but it is one of the nation's largest suppliers of industrial mineral

GEORGIA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM

The State of Georgia devotes more than half its budget to education. It supplies most of the funds for Georgia's public elementary and secondary schools, with supplements raised locally. It also supports two State and 26 area vocational-technical schools.
In higher education, Georgia

has 35 State and private senior colleges and universities, and 23 junior colleges.
The University of Georgia at Athens is the nation's oldest (1785) chartered state university, and Wesleyan College in Macon is the nation's first women's college.

GEORGIA'S GOVERNMENT

Georgia's laws are made by a bicameral General Assembly, whose senators and representatives are elected every two years. Georgia's executive branch is headed by a governor who stands for a four-year term and may not succeed himself. A Supreme Court consisting of seven justices elected to six-year terms is the state's highest tribunal.

Since 1971, some 300 State boards, bureaus and agencies have been reorganized into about 30, all of which have adopted modern management practices.
Local authority is vested in county and municipal governments. Public schools are governed by separate county or city boards of education, most of which are elective.

10

products. The dollar value of minerals and clays mined in Georgia has soared eightfold in the past quarter century.
Kaolin is among Georgia's most important international exports. The state's mines supply most of the world's demand for this clay. Georgia also is the nation's leading supplier of granite.
LABOR Laborcosts in Georgia are significantly below national averages. This key economic fact results in part from the related factors of lower cost of living and moderately lower wage scales. But even more significant is the higher productivity of Georgia workers-a fact often remarked by businessmen with operations both in Georgia and in other areas of the country.
THE WILL TO WORK In the agricultural past, Georgians
learned that life demanded a full day's measure of work. The attitude survives in an industrial present.
SUPPLY In addition to thousands of
Georgians ready and willing to upgrade skills, some 57,000 Georgia high school graduates enter the labor force each year. State and local agencies operate 28 vocational-technical schools throughout Georgia, and through its Quick Start program, the State will design special courses and recruit workers for new industries. (For more details, see p. 22).
RIGHT TO WORK Georgia was one of the first states
to adopt "right-to-work" legislation, which bans the "closed shop" and leaves union membership to the choice of the individual worker.
OTHER BUSINESS COSTS LAND
Georgia is land rich, so it's generally a buyer's market. Acreage costs vary widely, of course, depending on services provided, urbanization and special site factors. But they are decided bargains in comparison with more intensively built parts of America.
BUILDINGS Recent experience shows construc-
tion costs in Georgia run roughly 17 per cent below national averages. That means lower lease costs too.

Georgia's industrial capabilities are diverse and expanding in all sections of the state,as this sampling demonstrates. Georgia is the world's largest producer of naval stores, represented by the photo, upper left, of a pine tree tapped for rosin. Georgia is a leader in other forest products, too. Other pictures, clockwise: ITT Rayonier's paper mill in Jesup, a circular knit operation of Macon-based Bibb Manufacturing Co., finished carpeting coming off press at Shaw Industries' plant in Dalton, the assembly line of Ford Motor Co.'s huge Atlanta plant, molding iron at Blackstone-Georgia Foundry in Statesboro.

Here again, Georgia's assets add up to dollar savings: readily available building materials (lumber, bricks, cement, steel), fewer days' construction time lost to inclement weather, lower labor costs, higher efficiency.
Large inventories of space for sale or lease are available in most sections of Georgia. Office and industrial parks are concentrated in Metropolitan Atlanta and other urban centers, and other privately financed speculative space is available in smaller communities. In addition, cities and counties are authorized to issue industrial revenue bonds for building and equipment requirements of new industry. Further details of State and local assistance in site selection and plant construction appear on p. 00.
ENERGY In a time of short energy supplies,
Georgia is twice blessed: It has generous supplies of most energy sources, and their costs compare favorably with rates in other regions.
Most of Georgia's 7.5 million kilowatts per year of electric power is generated from abundant sourcescoal and water power - and a new Georgia Power plant near Baxley is giving state customers their first nuclear-generated electricity. Natural gas is available in most Georgia communities, and the standard supplies are enhanced by Southern Natural Gas Coo's new liquified natural gas (LNG) facility on an island in Savannah harbor. Natural gas is liquified abroad at extremely low temperatures, and shipped to the Savannah facility, where the process is reversed. Refined fuel oils are delivered to Georgia by three pipeline companies and by water. Two pipelines pump Gulf Coast refinery products, and the third supplies "LP" gas. Georgia's deepwater ports, inland barge terminals, and ~everal communities along major pipelines also have bulk storage facilities. Coal of all commonly used industrial types is available from the nearby fields of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.
TAXES Georgia's tax structure has been
notably stable for more than two decades. The State's principal sources of revenue are the sales and use tax and the income tax. The 3 per cent

GEORGIA LOOKS GREAT ON FILM
"Location" is a key word in movie-making today. Modern equipment allows film-makers to take full advantage of the beauty and realism of actual settings.
Contemporary economics makes them a necessity. Old Hollywood sound stages and extravagant sets are as obsolete as dinosaurs.
So location is the name of the game, and Georgia is playing some major roles. It's seeking even more lead performances.
When the Motion Picture and Television Advisory Committee was authorized by the General Assembly in 1972, Georgia was an ingenue. But it had star quality: mountains, waterfalls, roaring rapids, big-city crackle, 18th Century gracefulness, ante-bellum mansions, weathered farmhouses, pine forests, otherworldly swamplands. And - weather that allows shooting some 300 days a year.
The Film Effort was assigned to the Georgia's Department of Community Development, which immediately set about cataloguing the state's technical capabilities and services into a comprehensive directory. To this it added person-to-person contact and follow-through.
The Film Effort began paying off almost immediately. Some of the top quality movies made in Georgia in the Seventies include Conrack, Deliverance, F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Last of the Belles (for TV), and The Longest Yard. Others are under way.
Film-makers have discovered that Georgia officials and citizens will go to extraordinary lengths to find the right locations and to make work go smoothly. For starters, Community Development has some 1,500 blackand-white glossies and 10,000 color slides of locations and resources. It will fly motion picture executives to potential locations, arrange appointments, serve as liaison with other government agencies, including Transportation, Public Safety and Parks, and assist with necessary permits and licenses - even check weather projections.
That's just the beginning. Film Effort staff have helped change the course of a river. They've blown up an automobile. They've burned down a house. One thing they haven't done is change the weather. They don't need to.

A concerted State campaign is convincing more and more motion picture producers that Georgia's landscapes and landmarks themselves have star quality. The result: movies shot on location in Georgia, such as these: F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Last of the Belles (left), filmed for ABC-TV around Savannah, starring Richard Chamberlain . .. 20th Century Fox's Conrack (top), starring Jon Voight, filmed in Brunswick and on St. Simon's ... Columbia Pictures'Buster and Billie (above), shot around Statesboro and Metter ... and Warner Brothers' Deliverance, based on Georgia author James Dickey's bestseller. In scene above right, John Voight scales cliff in Tallulah Gorge. At right, film crew struggles to capture action on the raging Chattooga River.

Lockheed-Georgia at Marietta specializes in air cargo ships, including the world's largest carrier, the C-5, shown above.

sales tax rate has not changed since it was adopted in 1951, and the income tax rate has been changed only once, when the rate for corporate net income was raised from 5 per cent to 6 per cent. Other State taxes applicable to businesses are minor.
Counties, municipalities and school systems derive most of their income from ad valorem taxes. County property assessments are fixed by law at 40 per cent of market value. Municipalities also may levy license fees. By constitutional amendment, a 1 per cent sales tax is collected in Fulton and DeKalb Counties to support a rapid transit system, but no other county may levy a sales tax.
The Georgia Department of Community Development can supply full details on State and local tax rates.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Convenient location. Comfortable living. Economy of operations. Interesting, but ...
Any businessman knows there's a long road of detail between the plan and the finished job. To help expedite the trip along that road, Georgia offers a coordinated network of experienced, knowledgeable consultants from government and private enterprise, and a wide array of services and financial assistance.
SERVICES PROVIDED To return to the example of Paul
Worthy, the composite of many businessmen who have established Georgia operations, here are some examples of the assistance he might

have received in setting up a plant to manufacture prefabricated building panels:
First, information. Not just vague boasts and promises, but the hard economic data a businessman needs to make decisions: land costs, labor force, local taxes, utilities, transportation, education facilities, government services, etc. Georgia's Department of Community Development has up-to-date Economic Development Profiles of most Georgia communities.
After Mr. Worthy's preliminary inquiries were answered, he would receive follow-up communications and then, because of his continuing and active interest, a visit from one of the 10 professional economic development consultants on the

Industry and Trade Division staff. Once supplied details of Mr.
Worthy's requirements, a Department computer could match them with stored data about available building descriptions and site data, and select some likely prospects. Brochures with site maps and photographs are available with information on buildings.
Some critical factors can't be computerized. For example, Mr. Worthy would want face-to-face contact to evaluate the quality of local leadership. He would want to see the potential sites and communities. So the State would provide transportation, including twin-engine aircraft, to take him and other company officials to investigate prospective locations.
FINANCING CONSTRUCTION If an existing building did not suit
Mr. Worthy's needs, anyone of three programs could underwrite part or all of his construction and equipping of a new plant:
Local Development Corporations, with stock subscribed by local citizens, are authorized to borrow and lend money for land, construction, equipment, etc. They may build for a specific client as well as develop speculative space. LDes also may serve as conduits for Small Business Administration loans.
Through Industrial Development Authorities, cities and counties issue industrial revenue bonds to cover virtually all costs of a new plant. These are sold only with a firm, longterm commitment from a company with proven financial stability. Interest rates for this type of financing generally run 1 to I-liZ per cent below conventional rates.
The Business Development Corporation of Georgia Inc. is a private corporation composed of participating financial institutions. It is designed to make economic development loansup to $Z50,OOO-to companies unable to secure financing through conventional sources.
TRAINING EMPLOYES His building needs solved, Mr.
Worthy then would be offered outstanding programs to find and train employes.
About a dozen years ago, the State launched a program to establish

Both technical schools and institutions of higher learning serve the specialized needs of business and industry in Georgia. In photo

vocational-technical schools within commuting distance of any citizen. Today, 26 area schools and two State schools are operating across Georgia, offering some 60 courses ranging from commonly needed skills like accounting and secretarial science to specialties like chemical technology, watch repair and instrumentation technology. Some 17,000 students are enrolled in full-time, two-year programs at these 28 schools. Another 100,000 a year are enrolled in shortterm training.
None of the existing courses prepares students for the specific tasks of producing building panels, so Mr. Worthy could take advantage of the Quick Start program, which not only would design a course of training specifically for his business, but also recruit and instruct potential workers. Georgia offers Quick Start to new businesses like Mr. Worthy's, as well as to established plants expanding their operations. It works like this:
Department of Education and area school coordinators analyze the business operation and design a training course. The area vo-tech school and the Georgia Employment Security Office recruit and screen applicants, who receive free instruction. Where feasible, training facilities are established in the nearest vo-tech school. When necessary, other space is rented, with the company sharing the cost. Georgia trains and pays the teachers, though company personnel sometimes are utilized for specialized instruction.
Since its inception in 1966, Quick Start has assisted in opening some 350 plants, and helped put some 50,000 trainees to work.
Vo-tech schools also offer extension studies for employes upgrading skills or changing assignments. For fees of $5 to $15 per pupil, the schools will design courses and teach them on campus or in the plant.
RESEARCH ASSISTANCE Mr. Worthy probably would need
no more assistance from education institutions. But many companies contract for highly sophisticated research by Georgia institutions of higher education. Georgia Tech's Industrial Development Division has been conducting area and community

Just as the Paul Worthys of America are visiting and doing business in Georgia more and more every year, so are the Juan Marcoses and Keizo Miakis and the Hans Muellers of the world. Georgians have discovered the world, and the world is discovering Georgia.
That two-way vision is the way Georgia believes it should be: No onesided effort to sell abroad, but never to buy. No wooing foreign investors to establish Georgia facilities without realizing that Georgia businesses may 'want to expand abroad. In a well rounded international trade program, exports and imports grow together.
Although much of Georgia's thrust into international commerce has come only in the Seventies, a host of State, local, business and trade agencies offer comprehensive professional assistance to businessmen at either end of an international transaction.
These cooperating agencies help Georgians identify markets abroad for their manufactured goods, agricultural products and raw materials. Likewise, they will assist foreign producers in finding Georgia markets. If a foreign business wants to establish offices, warehousing, distribution or manufacturing facilities, the Georgia agencies not only will help locate the best site, but even assist in arranging an in-state licensee or' joint-venture partner. If a Georgia business wants to expand overseas, it too will receive consultation and assistance.

This spirit of reciprocity is unusual among agencies promoting international commerce. Yet it is not simply altruism. It is good business, taking the long view. Exports help Georgia's economy, of course. But so can imports. At minimum, imports can generate activity for Georgia ports, business for Georgia banks, and work for Georgia agents and distributors. If a foreign company's sales volume grows enough, it may establish a sales and distribution office, and later a manufacturing plant - all stimulating business and jobs for Georgians.
That's the pattern followed by Japan's huge producer of zippers and fasteners, YKK Zipper Co., to cite one example. First it established a warehouse-and-sales facility in Atlanta in 1971. Three years later it added a manufacturing plant in Macon.
Siempelkamp Corp., a major German producer of heavy hydraulic presses, moved American headquarters from Memphis to Atlanta in 1973. The following year it announced a manufacturing facility.
Many other foreign companies have found a Georgia sales office a convenient point of entry into the American market. Then, impressed with Georgia's climate, transportation network, productive labor force and spirit of cooperation, they have expanded their operations.
WORLD BUSINESS IN GEORGIA
Today, businesses of some 20 nations operate dozens of offices, distribution centers and manufacturing plants in Georgia, and the count rises almost weekly. Just a few of their diverse activities: production of bead wire for tires, manufacture of elevators, engineering services for the forestproduct industry, processing hams, distribution of chemicals, manufacturing three-dimensional-camera equipment, motorcycle sales and service, producing raw material for nylon, regional sales of newsprint, manufacture of aircraft electronic parts, and assembly of furniture.
One recent count revealed that more than 25 foreign companies have established their American head-

quarters in Georgia, and more were in the works. GEORGIA'S BUSINESS AMBASSADORS
Though many of its world ties have been developed only in the last few years, Georgia is no newcomer to international commerce. The Georgia Ports Authority, which has been developing deepwater and inland ports since the 1940s, was an early ambassador to the world at large.
The Authority operates deepwater ports at Savannah and Brunswick, and inland river barge facilities at Augusta, Bainbridge and Columbus.
In Savannah, 58 Authority and privately owned berths are served by more than 100 steamship lines. The Ports Authority operates two terminals at Savannah as well as a LASH (Lighter Aboard Ship) terminal in the mouth of the Savannah River. Its conventional terminals, the Ocean and the Garden City, are the most up-to-date on the South Atlantic seaboard. Garden City Terminal offers 12 general cargo berths, two container berths, two dry bulk berths, and two liquid loading berths. The Authority's two Savannah terminals have a total of six 35-ton gantry cranes and a 45ton mobile crane.
At Brunswick, the Authority operates three general cargo berths and a 500-foot steel and concrete bulk cargo off-loading facility.
Both deepwater ports offer ample warehousing, and are well served by rail and truck lines. One significant measure of their international character is the fact that a majority of the shipments handled by the two ports involves foreign, rather than purely domestic, commerce.
The Ports Authority maintains trade development offices in Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Bonn and Tokyo. Addresses are listed in the appendix.
Major Georgia banks also have long track records in promoting international commerce. Trust Company Bank (Atlanta) pioneered in the Fifties. In addition to its home office work and correspondent relationships, it operates a branch on Grand Cayman Island, maintains a representative office in London, and owns part of Allied Bank International of New York.

STATE OF GEORGIA INTERNATIONAL SERVICES All these elements provided a firm groundwork for international commerce, but the most dramatic growth started about 1971. The State established a full-time International Division that year in its Department of Community Development to stimulate and service the grow-

ing activity. Foreign businessmen may share all
the services Georgia offers out-ofstate Americans-and then some.

Because foreign businessmen may be unfamiliar with Georgia corporation law, licensing requirements and other preliminaries, the International Division also will assist them in these matters.
If a foreign business wants to expand into American markets but not to finance the entire cost of a manufacturing plant, it has the options of a joint venture with a Georgia partner, or entering into a licensing agreement with a Georgia company. Through its extensive contacts, the International Division can provide helpful leads and consultation on either type arrangement.
For both American and foreign businessmen with products or services to selt the International Division has an extensive computerized data bank. Does a sales representative from India have jute? He'll find a ready market in North Georgia's carpet mills. Is a Georgia kaolin miner looking for overseas sales? In a wink, the computer can print lists of interested parties. You name it: international legal services, prefabricated homes, naval stores, steet tobacco, wire and cable, peanuts, glassware, translations services, aircraft parts ... from Georgia, South America, Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia ... it can be in the computer, with access only a button punch away.
TRADE MISSIONS To further such commerce, Community Development's International Division regularly sponsors trade missions to various parts of the globe.
Well before a mission departs, the International Division advertises its itinerary in the countries to be visited, prepares brochures, makes preliminary contacts with interested persons, and arranges appointments and interpreters. It also helps set up receptions and other social events-at the Georgia businessmen's expense-to entertain business executives and government officials in the cities visited.
These missions are designed primarily to promote export of Georgia goods. A State Agriculture Depart-

ment official always joins the group for the same purpose. But even on these export treks, the path is twoway. The owner of an Atlanta-based gift store chain found a profitable flood of goods offered when he accompanied a recent mission to Brazil, for example. This in turn boosted contacts for the whole group.
To smooth and expand this twoway flow, the Department of Community Development's International Division maintains trade offices in Brussels and Tokyo, and has consultants in Sao Paulo and Canada. Work within the Division is subdivided into two areas: One handles the Western Hemisphere, the other Europe and Asia.
OTHER INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES
Georgia's Department of Community Development, the Georgia Ports Authority and certain banks by no means carry Georgia's international effort alone.
The slogan "Atlanta, new international city" reflects the Atlanta Chamber's global interests. With a full-time international division and a substantial budget for advertising in foreign publications, the Atlanta Chamber sponsors its own trade missions to Europe and the Far East, conducts semi-annual trade seminars, encourages establishment of additional.consultants, produces an annual Georgia World Trade Directory and various multi-lingual publications, and hosts many foreign visitors and businessmen.
Its hosting activities are supplemented by an active group of volunteers known as the Atlanta Council for International Visitors. ACIV also coordinates a foreign Student Bureau and a translation reference service.
Georgia's and Atlanta's growing importance in international affairs is reflected in the establishment of 24 consular offices in Atlanta - career consulates-general for Belgium, Canada, Republic of China (Taiwan), Germany, Israel, Japan, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain; 17 honorary consulates, and trade offices of Columbia, Denmark, France, Jamaica, Mexico and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

The Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau has broadened its activities to include a major international effort, which will be much enhanced by the expected opening of a multilingual World Congress Center in the Fall of 1976.
Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta is an officially designated port of entry and exit for air freight. Inter-national passenger traffic was launched in 1971 with direct flights to Mexico. Flights to Caribbean ports have been added since, and throughplane service is offered to London and Frankfort. Several other direct flights to overseas destinations are under active consideration.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce maintains a full-time international office. Like the State, it aids foreign businessmen in selecting sites and starting operations in Georgia. It sponsors international commerce seminars for Georgia businessmen, and offers publications and counseling to Georgians seeking business abroad, as well as foreign executives seeking Georgia business. In Atlanta, the Georgia Chamber is sponsoring an International Club which will include conference space, an international library, trade mission offices, guest quarters, translation services and other amenities.
More than 1,000 foreign students attend Georgia colleges and universities.

The electric excitement of Big League sports, the sheer pleasure of boating or duffer golf, the pageantry of American history-Georgia has it all, and more.
Variety: Coveted Georgia has been the home of Indian tribes, a colony of Britain, a cotton kingdom. It has fought in two revolutions. It has run the fever of a gold rush. It has embraced brawling railroad builders' camps, lonely mountain settlers' cabins, slave quarters, elegant plantation mansions, one-gallus farmers' shacks. All these Georgias are commemorated, preserved and sometimes re-enacted for the interested visitor.
Variety: Georgia is three states, physically. In the north, the lower end of the Appalachian chain thrusts treedotted peaks into the fresh mountain air, sculpting spectacular gorges, waterfalls, and raging white-water rivers. Hazy-blue horizons surround the mountains most of the year. In Fall, they blaze with reds and yellows, golds and oranges of the changing season. And sometimes in Winter a blanket of white works a dazzling transformation.
The land gentles in Georgia's center,

... to the vibrant urban pulse of Atlanta and the refreshing relaxation of the Golden Isles 43

the Piedmont. Mountains yield to rolling hills and ultimately flatlands. This is the territory of peach orchards and now departed plantations- and cities where most Georgians live.
And in the south, yet another world: the flat Coastal Plains..Not just the seacoast itself - popular resorts, exclusive retreats, nature preserves - but the eerie, mysterious "land of the trembling earth;' Okefenokee Swamp, and warm pinelands farther west.
The State and private industry have developed a billion-dollar-a-year tourist industry to make Georgia's natural beauties and points of interest accessible to the visiting public.
The sum of these efforts is a cornucopia of experiences. Sure, you can swim and hike and sail and sun-bathe and mountain-climb in Georgia. You'd expect that. But you also can pan for gold at the site of America's first gold rush, thrill to the world's largest roller coaster, lift an Oktoberfest stein in an Alpine-style village, meditate in a monastery, explore vine-laced covered bridges, join in festivals dedicated to the rose, jonquil, oleander, dogwood, mountain laurel, yellow daisy, pine tree, pecan, and changing leaves; ride a cable car to the top of one of the world's biggest rocks, Stone Mountain; visit the one-time capital of the Cherokee Nation and-if you're so inclined- join an annual rattlesnake roundup.
You can tour handsome ante-bellum homes, visit a village of the 1850s, admire 18th Century Savannah architecture, enjoy an evocation of the gaslight era, shoot the frothing rapids that "starred" in the film Deliverance, buy handcrafts from traditionpreserving artisans, swim and sun at the one-time private preserve of millionaires, enjoy performances in a restored opera house where Edwin Booth trod the boards, and trace famous battles of the Civil War.

INVESTING IN TRAVEL
Travel is one of Georgia's hot growth industries, generating more than $1 billion a year in economic activity. Recognizing the investment potential as well as the entertainment value of travel and tourism, Georgia's Department of Community Development launched a concerted travel industry development program in 1971. An advertising campaign in major travel and business magazines stimulated more than 1,000 inquiries in the program's first year alone. For businessmen interested in travel industry investment, the Department's Tourist Division will supply detailed economic data and demographic material on any area of the state, as well as the Department's full range of development counseling and assistance. It also has sponsored feasibility studies of potentially profitable touristgenerating projects. For details, address inquiries to the Department of Community Development's Tourist Division.

HOW TO GET THERE: Georgia is threaded with five Inter-
state highways, which link with a vast network of State and locally maintained highways and paved roads. Eleven Georgia cities receive scheduled air passenger service. Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, second busiest in the nation, offers direct service to most of the nation's population centers. If you fly your own plane, you'll find that Georgia leads the nation in small community paved airports. More than 150 fields are open to the public. Most communities also are served by interurban buses. The State operates welcome centers at seven major highway access points, and at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Every important tourist attraction
is no more than a short drive from one of Georgia's tens of thousands of hotel and motel rooms. Most are modern and moderately priced. Reservations are advisable in peak visiting seasons. In addition, many of the State's three dozen multiple-use parks offer cottages for as little as $8 per couple per day. A couple with three young children can rent a modern cottage for $15 a day. Reservations are advisable during most of the year. (See State Parks and Historic Sites Division address in appendix.) Georgia is dotted with public and private mobile home and camping spaces, and picnic sites are widely available along highways and within state parks.

YOURS FOR THE LOOKING If you want luxury, Georgia can pamper you with the finest accommodations and service. Yet, like the pop tune of a few years ago, some of the best things in Georgia's tourist life are free-or nearly free-for the looking.
There's no charge for the blood-

stirring Appalachian vistas of the Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway, winding 14 mountainous miles and crossing the Appalachian Trail. Only two miles from its southern end lies the town of Helen, which transformed itself a few years ago into a charming version of an Alpine Village. Like the mountains themselves, it's a photographer's delight, especially at the
annual Oktoberfest. Nearly a mile high, Brasstown Bald
is Georgia's highest point. It offers a spectacular view and, a visitors' center is open May I-Oct. 31.
Remember the raging river in the film Deliverance? It was Georgia's Chattooga River- not the easiest place to reach by auto, but worth the effort. That sheer-face cliff-climbing was filmed in Tallulah Gorge. Tightrope daredevil Karl Wallenda walked a 1,100-foot cable across the 2,OOO-footdeep Gorge a few years ago, a feat repeated on film daily in the summertime at one of the observation points.
And speaking of rushing water, Amicalola Falls cascades 729 feet in the midst of a State park which also offers campsites, swimming, nature trails, cottages and other amenities. Amicalola is the state's highest waterfall, but North Georgia contains several rivals in beauty, including Anna Ruby Falls, Toccoa Falls, and dozens of unheralded cascades spraying mist and rainbows in the sunlight.
Covered bridges are photogenic reminders of America's past. Georgia's Parks and Historic Sites Division offers a brochure describing 23. Seeing them usually costs only the effort of finding and navigating unpaved country roads. But look fast, for time, fires and the elements are taking their toll, and their number dwindles.
Near Brunswick, 'at the other end of Georgia and a world away in mood, are the Marshes of Glynn. Celebrated in a poem of Georgian Sidney Lanier, the Marshes fascinate ecologists as the spawning ground of sea life, the largest salt marshes on America's East Coast. Sit quietly and listen to the calls of unfamiliar birds, the soft simmering sounds of sea and shells, the sigh of wind playing on sea oats.
Barely 60 miles away is still another world of animal and plant life, the eerie swamp called Okefenokee

Theater still lives at historic Springer Opera House in Columbus (above), and panners still can find flecks of gold in North Georgia.

(Seminole for "land of the trembling earth"). It abounds in unexpected sights and sounds and smells. Portions are free, but don't miss the excitement of a guided boat tour. The site is accessible from Waycross, Folkston and Fargo.
Throughout Georgia you'll find free pleasures for the imaginative and appreciative eye: rows of ante-bellum
homes in Madison, Washington and other historic towns; Factor's Walk (the old cotton brokers' exchange) and the geometrically laid parks of Savannah, a sidewalk art show in Dalton, the 19th Century flavor of Underground Atlanta, the 30,000acre campus (world's largest) of Martha Berry College in Mount Berry, the simple marble tomb of the late civil rights leader and Nobel laureate, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King in Atlanta, inscribed "Free at last, tree at last ... ", and offbeat sights like the double-barreled Civil War cannon that failed in its only firing (Athens), and a monument to apples (Cornelia).
And that's only the beginning.
FAMILY FUN There's whole-family fun in every section of Georgia. State parks in particular are geared for relaxed family enjoyment. Rock City atop Lookout Mountain offers fascinating panoramas, and children love its Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village. They will get a kick, too, from the Br'er Rabbit statue and the museum of "Uncle Remus" critters and memorabilia in Eatonton. In Cornelia in the summer, there's even a 10-week season of children's plays and musicals, performed by young actors at the Appletree Theater.
Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain is one of Georgia's biggest, most comprehensive resorts designed specifically for families. Privately owned and open year round, the 2,500acre resort has a mile-long beach, 63 holes of golf, a fishing lake, horseback riding, a quail-hunting preserve, skeet and trap shooting, water skiing, summertime performances of the Florida State University Circus, and outstanding nature trails and landscaping. On-premises accommodations include 155 cottages and 365 motel rooms.

Top to bottom: Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain, Lion Country Safari, Underground Atlanta
48

In and around Atlanta is a concentration of sights and activities that will have kids gee-whizzing to friends back home for months:
Lion Country Safari, south of Atlanta, reverses traditional zoo arrangements, keeping the humans penned while lions roam free. And rhinos. And ostriches, and zebras, and monkeys. Suggestions: Bring your camera and leave your car windows up.
Atlanta's Grant Park has a more traditional kind of zoo. Monkeys and big cats are a specialty. Grant Park also contains the Cyclorama, a circular painting with soundtrack, recounting the Civil War Battle of Atlanta.
Six Flags Over Georgia, just west of Atlanta, has something for everyone-or at least more than 2 million visitors a year. It has live entertainment, and attractions themed on American history, but above all-for the kids, at least- it has rides, rides, rides, including The Great American Scream Machine, world's biggest roller coaster. Adults are allowed to scream, too. One ticket covers all rides (as often as you like) and attractions.
Stone Mountain Park, just east of Atlanta, also has rides. But it's more. Built around the world's second largest one-piece outcropping of granite, it is the site of another superlative-the world's largest carving, a high-relief memorial to three Confederate heroes. You get to the Mountain top by cable-car. Also in the park: an ante-bellum plantation complex, scenic railroad, a carrillon, boating, an antique auto museum, and more.
At night, Underground Atlanta, with its supper clubs, boutiques, lounges and restaurants, is more for the grown-ups. But during the day children enjoy exploring this recreation of the gaslit era of Atlanta, before these very streets were sealed off from the sun by viaducts built over the adjacent railroad tracks. A wax museum, old mechanical musical instruments, gift shops and 19th Century doodads fascinate young people.
SPORTS With its varied geography and smiling

climate, and a stand-up-and-cheer enthusiasm for sports among its people, Georgia offers a full spectrum - big league and amateur, spectator and participatory, organized and atyour-leisure.
WATER: Abundant rivers (Georgia's 17
largest stretch more than 2,800 miles) and lakes (more th'an 400,000 acres of them) mean that the pleasures of boating, swimming, fishing and other water recreation are available in all sections of Georgia. A new development in the islands of Lake Lanier offers them in close proximity to each other, along with lodging and meeting facilities.
Mountain-born rivers of North Georgia challenge the most accomplished white-water enthusiasts. Organized rapids-shooting is available, but caution is urged. At a calmer pace, but still requiring experience, are river canoe trails on the Alapaha (difficulty rating: I) and Withlacoochee (rating: III).
Water skiing is popular on many lakes, and the Masters Water Ski Tournament is held annually at Callaway Gardens.
Georgia's Atlantic coast stretches from Savannah Beach to the mouth of the St. Mary's River south of Brunswick, and offers clean, spacious beaches - and accommodations - for vacationers. Savannah Beach is a longestablished, privately developed family resort. Jekyll Island, near Brunswick, once was the private playground of fabled millionaires, and some of their mansions may be toured today. The State of Georgia bought Jekyll in the Forties and turned it into a popular public resort with motels, restaurants, convention facilities, golf courses, and other recreation opportunities.
Most of Georgia's major state parks offer a variety of water recreation.
HUNTING AND FISHING: The public may hunt in more than
40 wildlife management areas well dispersed over the state. Popular game: deer, quail, wild turkey, rabbit, squirrel.
More than 3,200 miles of North Georgia streams are happy fishing

grounds for trout; lake bass abound; and many other varieties of sports fish are waiting to bite in the rivers of Middle and South Georgia. The coast offers both surf and deep-sea fishing.
GOLF: If you expect Bobby Jones' home
state to be addicted to golfing, you're right. Some 120 public links and numerous private courses dot the Georgia landscape. Several major tournaments are staged annually, including the Senior's Invitational at Sea Island, the Atlanta Classic, and the superstar of golf tourneys, the Masters at Augusta.
BIG LEAGUE: At any time, you'll find big league
sports in Atlanta. Atlanta Stadium is home ground for Braves baseball and Falcons football. The uniquely designed Omni Coliseum quickly changes personalities from hardwood for the Hawks to ice for the Flames.
AUTO RACING: Within an hour's drive of Atlanta
are two major speedways: Atlanta International Raceway, a 1-li2-mile oval at Hampton, home of the Dixie 500 and Atlanta 500; and Road Atlanta, near Gainesville, sanctioned for Grand Prix races, including the L&M Grand Prix and CanAm races.
HORSES: Georgia has no parimutuel betting,
but Atlanta annually hosts the Atlanta Steeplechase and Atlanta HunterJumper Classic. Cumming has a Walking Horse Show, and Stone Mountain an Arabian Horse Show. The state's only schedules harness races are run annually at Hawkinsville's Pulaski County Fairgrounds.
SKIING: Despite Georgia's generally mild
climate, mountain snows and artificial snow make it possible for Georgia to offer the southernmost ski resort in the nation: Sky Valley, near Dillard.
JOUSTING: Jousting? Yes indeed. Once a year
Westville, itself a re-created 19th Century village at Lumpkin, revives the medieval sport of jousting, armor,

tilting and all that.
HISTORY As one of the 13 original states, Georgia is rich in Americana. But its history predated the Colony, for Georgia earlier was peopled by a succession of Indian cultures. Spanish explorer Hernando de So to crossed it in 1539 in search of gold.
A carefully constructed tour of Georgia can provide, in fairly compact space and time, a panorama of American history.
INDIAN CIVILIZATION: Lives of the earliest Americans are
impressively explained and represented at Ocmulgee National Monument, east of Macon. It is the largest restoration of ancient Indian cultures in the American East, and its ceremonial earthlodge may be the oldest public building in the nation. In the Monument's museum, lodges and mounds are artifacts of six different Indian civilizations which occupied the area over a period of nearly 10,000 years-from 8000 B.C. to 1717 AD.
The Etowah Valley was Indian territory between 1000 AD. and 1500 AD. Burial sites and a museum of the period are on display at Etowah Indian Mounds, three miles south of Cartersville.
By arms and by forced treaty, white settlers continually encroached on Indian lands in Georgia, until the last substantial number of Cherokees were forcibly marched to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) along the infamous "Trail of Tears~' In a brief and poignant era before this final ejection, the Cherokee Nationreacheda compromise between its old customs and the white civilization. It adopted a constitution, developed an alphabet and a judicial system, and carried on commerce with the outside world.
Capital of the Cherokee Nation from 1825 to 1838 was New Echota, near today's Calhoun. In addition to homes and stores, New Echota housed government buildings and the printshop where the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper was published. The village has been restored and is open to the public. Near Chatsworth is another reminder of the red-white era of Cherokee history- Vann House, the elegant brick home of a rich and iriflu-

ential Indian chief, James Vann.

SAVANNAH: The first permanent European
settlement in Georgia was established in Savannah in 1733, an event celebrated there every February during "Georgia Week:' The colony's leader
was Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe, an idealistic member of the British Parliament who sought a military and naval anchor for Britain's Atlantic colonies, as well as a profitable agricultural operation. The town he laid out is still admired by urban planners and strolling tourists alike. Savannah has become a living museum as increasing numbers of its homes from the 18th and 19th Centuries have been restored. Its very streets and handsomely landscaped squares are rooted in the past. These are some of the high points:
Christ Episcopal Church, first church in the Colony. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, preached there ... Factors' Walk, bridgeways connecting the old cotton merchants' buildings along the waterfront. (The space below has been converted into a lively collection of arts and crafts shops, restaurants and night spots) ... Hodgson Hall, Savannah home of the Georgia Historical Society, displaying a valuable collection of Colonial relics ... Davenport House, a superb example of Georgian architecture ... Owens- Thomas House, designed and built by William Jay in outstanding Regency style ... the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of America ... Colonial Dames House, an example of "restrained Victorian;' built in 1848 for Mrs. Low's husband Andrew.
Savannah's seafaring and military past is reflected in several forts and museums: Fort Jackson with its nautical museum, Fort Pulaski, Fort Screven and Tybee Museum, Fort McAllister and its associated Civil War Museum, and the Ships of the Sea Museum.

Preserving and recreating history: The old Cotton Exchange along Factors' Walk in Savannah, now being transformed into a cotton museum (above), and Westville, an authentically assembled collection of mid-19th Century buildings at Lumpkin

plantations and lived in handsome mansions. Far more lived a rugged pioneer existence, farming small acreage, hunting, operating coach stops, taverns and general stores. Both styles of life are reflected in sites open to the public.
Traveler's Rest, six miles east of Toccoa, combines several historic personalities: It has been plantation house, tavern, trading post and post office. Eagle Tavern, built about 1820 at Watkinsville, also served as stagecoach stop and general store.
Westville, near the town of Lumpkin, has won national attention for its historically accurate re-creation of a town of Georgia's 1850s. The buildings are of the era, brought from many sites. Lumpkin citizens regularly demonstrate the crafts of yesteryear. A Fair of 1850 is featured every November.
Other Georgia towns well established by the early years of the 19th Century include Midway, Augusta, Milledgeville, Washington, Madison and Waynesboro. All share reminders of their pasts with visitors.
Wood-frame Midway Church, whose congregations have included two signers of the Declaration of Independence, two Revolutionary War generals and a U.S. senator, still stands. To visit the interior, including a slave gallery, pick up the key from the nearby service station. Close by, Midway Museum displays a century and a half of furniture, documents and mementos.
Gen. Oglethorpe established Augusta as well as Savannah. A Celtic cross marks his Fort Augusta site, now occupied by St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Its churchyard contains the remains of Declaration of Independence-signer William Few. Other points of interest: Mackay House, used during the Revolution by British forces, who hanged 13 wounded Americans in its stairwell ... Meadow Garden, one-time home of another Declaration-signer, George Walton ... and Government House, dating from 1810.
Milledgeville was Georgia's capital 1807-1868; the Old State Capitol and handsome Greek Revival Governor's Mansion are well preserved ... Washington, first town in America to be

named for the First President, has at least 40 white-columned ante-bellum homes. The Washington- Wilkes Historical Museum, itself an unusually fine house, has a worthwhile collection ... Madison is another treasure trove of the ante-bellum; a locally available map supplies visiting information ... Still more well preserved homes of the pre-Civil War era abound in Covington and Newnan.
OTHER HOUSES OF SPECIAL INTEREST:
Cannonball House (hit by cannon fire in the Civil War) and Renaissancestyle Hay House in Macon ... the University President's Home and TaylorGrady House (once home of Atlanta Constitution editor Henry Grady) in Athens ... striking Crescent House in Valdosta, now a garden center.
Daily plantation tours are offered in Thomasville, and annual tours of fine homes in many cities across Georgia.
Also preserved are the homes of poet Sidney Lanier (Macon), Uncle Remus-creator Joel Chandler Harris ("Wren's Nest;' Atlanta), Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens (Crawfordville), and Martha Berry, founder of the Berry Schools for poor mountain children ("Oak Hill;' Rome). Bulloch Hall, where President Theodore Roosevelt's mother was married, has been restored in Roswell. President Franklin Roosevelt's cottage retreat, the IfLittle White House lf at Warm Springs, is maintained as it was when he died there in 1945.
GOLD RUSH: In 1828, the nation's first major
gold rush erupted in the hills around today's Dahlonega. A U.S. Mint operated there from 1838 until the outbreak of Civil War. This almost forgotten bit of history is recalled in the Courthouse Gold Museum and in a recreated boom town about a mile from the town square, where visitors may pan for gold-and find real flecks of it. The annual Gold Rush Days celebration in October relives the era in music, costumes, arts and crafts shows, and related activities.

of rails through the more populous areas of Georgia in the early 1830s. Farmers anxious to get their goods to markets in the Midwest and North pressed for a rail connection to Tennessee and thence to the American interior. The State of Georgia agreed to underwrite a leg through Georgia's sparsely populated northern section, and in 1837 an engineersurveyor drove a spike in a wooded wilderness to mark the southern terminus of the State rail line. The site became Atlanta.
CIVIL WAR: Except for minor skirmishes along
the coast, Georgia was a battleground of the Civil War only in its final 12 months. But then war came with grinding devastation. Gen. William T. Sherman's army in a series of bloody battles pushed down from Tennessee,
seized the rail center of Atlanta, burned the city, then scorched its way to the sea at Savannah. Sherman's route is well traced by historic markers. Other reminders of that fratricidal conflict: Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, oldest and largest park of its type in America, an eight-mile collection of monuments, cannon, battlelines and a museum ... the Cyclorama in Atlanta's Grant Park, a canvas-inthe-round, with three-dimensional effects, and a narrative recounting the Battle of Atlanta ... the massive Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial carvings of Gens. Robert E. Lee and T. J. "Stonewall" Jackson and President Jefferson Davis ... a Confederate Naval Museum in Columbus ... the "General" and the "Texas;' participants in the famous April, 1862, "Great Locomotive Chase:' and housed respectively at The General Museum in Kennesaw and the Cyclorama ... Kennesaw National Battlefield Park, featuring a slide show and exhibit ... and a cemetery and memorials at the site of the infamous Andersonville Prison for captive Federals.

ARTS AND SCIENCES Fine arts, folk arts, educational exhibits - Georgia offers an intriguing variety. In the fine arts, Atlanta Memorial Arts Center is the most comprehensive. Built as a memorial to more than 100 Atlantans who died in a Paris air crash at the end of an art tour, it houses the High Museum, the Atlanta School of Art, the Atlanta Symphony and Alliance Theater. The Atlanta Ballet performs there regularly.

Westville's Fair of 1850, Dahlonega's Gold Rush Days, and Macon's Georgia Country Music Festival.
FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES:
Fernbank, the nation's third largest planetarium, operated in Atlanta by the DeKalb School Board ... Savannah Science Museum, with a strong emphasis on animal, insect and reptile life ... the National Fish Hatchery at Millen, with some 70 varieties exhibited in aquariums ... the Crawford Long Museum in Jefferson, where Dr. Long performed the world's first operation using ether ... The Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Visitors Center at Baxley, with displays, films and lectures on nuclear power generation ... the fragrant and eye-pleasing Rose Test Gardens near Thomasville, where experiments are conducted on new varieties.
Georgians take their flowers and trees seriously, and build a dozen or more annual celebrations around them. The best known are Atlanta's Dogwood Festival, week-long series of cultural and entertainment activities, and Thomasville's Rose Festival. The National Camellia Society's headquarters near Fort Valley features not only flowers, but an extensive library of camellia books, and a collection of Boehm porcelain birds.
AND MORE IF YOU'RE NOT CONVINCED YET OF THE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES IN GEORGIA, CONSIDER THREE MORE:
At the Monastery of the Holy Ghost in Conyers, men may tour the grounds of the self-sufficient, silence-keeping brotherhood- and by special arrangement, stay overnight for meditation. Women may attend only church services.
At Dawsonville, men, women and children visit a museum dedicated to the ancient - and illegal- art of making moonshine whisky.
And at Whigham, the intrepid and/or foolhardy may compete for prizes in the annual Rattlesnake Roundup.
If that's not enough variety, write us for more.

New plants are growing fast in Peachtree City, Georgia's completely planned new town. That's because forest breezes make for pleasant living among our 15,000 acres of green Georgia countryside. There are beautiful homes in many price ranges, making it an ideal town for your employees.
Yet our Industrial Park is right on the main line of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, and we have our own executive airport. The Industrial Park includes paved roads, storm and sanitary sewers, municipal water, gas mains and electricity. The groundwork is done; just bring your plant.
There's much more than the Industrial Park. Peachtree City is incorporated, with its own government, police, and fire department. People who live here can walk to shopping, bike along miles of paved trails througoh the woods, or take a golf cart along the trails to the Country Club. Driving a car

is a pleasure on our uncrowded streets, and Atlanta is only 35 minutes away.
There's golf, tennis, swimming, horseback riding, biking, hiking, boating and fishing for everyone who lives here. We've found that the more we give people what they want, the better the town becomes. So instead of building one big city, we're building several small villages, each with its own shopping, recreation and schools, and plenty of country to enjoy, along with Georgia's year-round mild climate.
It's planning like this that's already brought 30 industries to our Industrial Park, including CR and Westinghouse.
For a color brochure on Peachtree City, and answers to your questions, write Robert W. Bivens, President, Garden Cities Corporation, Peachtree City, Georgia 30269, or phone (404) 461-3421.
Peachtree City. One of the best towns in the country, because it's the kind of town people want.
