By The Way " by. ^borid Zander A BY THE WAY WEEKLY REPORT Athens, Ga.—We find ourselves in Athens on a hot July 4th—but not any hotter than in Newberry over the weekend. We thought we Would beat the heat and the traf fic, too, by returning to Athens after dark Sunday. As we were leaving, there was promising lightning and thunder. Hope it was followed by a much needed shower. Te did not see any rain on the down and there is no evi- of any here during the weekend. • While at home I learned that ^Granny” Parr had recently cele brated her 90th birthday, so frish to extend my belated but fine lady who is as young in mind sincere congratulations to this and heart as most of us. Granny Barr enjoys living in the same large home on Main Street as her Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Uutil eye trouble forced her to cut down on activity, she was active in several organi sations. and is still a faithful attendant of Sabbath School and jervices at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Granny Parr Enjoys people, and they enjoy her. May I wish many more happy birthday anniversaries to a very nice person. TIME FOR READING Since I have been down here, X have found a little time for read ing and I enjoyed a book I found here at our “summer home.” It is the book about communist activ ities written by J. Edgar Hoover and is entitled, “Masters of De ceit.” There are so many Americans who seem to feel that commun ism is a vague, far-away thing, posing no threat to our way of life. Those ? people in particular should read this book and those who are aware of the dangers of communism would do well to brush up on the tactics used by the Reds to do thteir dirty work. I highly recommend it. I also read “Our Will Rogers” by Homer Croy. It is a very good book and will be found of interest especially by those who remember the famous Will. Both books are available at the Newberry Li brary. Sight-seeing We have not done much addi tional sight-seeing since the last column was written. We did find a nice picnic area in Athens Mem orial Park—an area where you could almost imagine you were in the mountains^ There are huge flat atones and a little stream rushes through the cracks and crevices— ideal for little ones who wish to get their feet wet on a hot day. <0ur little ones got something else wet. They wouldn’t wait for a word of warning but went bounc ing out on the rocks, hit a slipp ery place, and down they went— several times—before they learned where not to step. They ended up wet all over, but having a wonder ful time. I am still amazed at the num ber of lovely homes in Athens and still wonder what all the people who live in them do. I haven’t spotted anything that looks like an industry of any size. Perhaps the University of Georgia pays its professors above-average sal aries, and they can afford these beautiful homes. The most “bristling” industry hereabouts seems to be destruct ion and construction. The face of Lumpkin Street, which runs by the campus, has been altered consider ably since I was down here last fall.. -Homes and old buildings have been razed to make way for new dormitories and also underway is the building of a most attrac tive motel, made of old bricks se cured, no doubt, when other build ings were torn down. There seems to be no end to the building pro- grram at the University, and it is Already a tremendous campus. Georgia has a state university of which it Canute'proud. ...w- . Mid-Carolinian At Ag.
