The President Ends Another Georgia Vacation

As during the lifetime of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who so often frequented Georgia for relaxation and rest, and who died at Warm Springs, Georgia, our President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, makes periodic junkets to Augusta upon quite a different mission, a golf enthusiast, for some relief from the tremendous responsibilities of his office.

He, like F. D. Roosevelt again, came here before he was made President and continues to come back and enjoy himself in the fair sunlight of Georgia's golf capital.

His coming here has enabled much important history to be written around this area, as well as many interesting personalities visiting him on business and government missions.

Possibly the last big scoop happening on Georgia soil in the annals of a President, was the appointment of Christian Herter as Secretary of State to succeed the ailing John Foster Dulles.

It has been said that the Monroe Doctrine was promulgated from near Crawford, in east Georgia where President Monroe's Secretary of State, William H. Crawford lived.

While Georgia does not give the nation Presidents, she assuredly furnishes a mecca and a place of rehabilitation for them, and it would be indeed difficult to write a history of this country without digging deeply across Georgia.

Mr. Eisenhower will be coming again and again to Georgia even after he leaves the White House, probably - as long as he lives.

Always welcome, Sir.
