Members Determine to See
Home Resources That
Eastern People Reminded
Them of on Recent Visit
By JOHN PAsCMALL

Get ready for the next big indus
trial tour. Plans are already being
made by officials of the Greater
Georgia Tech campaign, who so sue
cessfully piloted 127 leading bust
ness men, bankers, manufacturers
and educators through the industrial
centers of the middle west and the
east, to conduct another tour, but
this time it will be through the state
of Georgia.
Having shown leading Georgians
what the middle west and the east
have accomplished in the way of
technical education and manufac-
turing, it is proposed early merit year
to conduct these same Georgians
and as many others as have caught
the vision of Georgia's industrial OPP
portunity, on a journey through their
own state that they may learn OF
the wonderful natural resources
which await development. That
practically every man who was a
member of the Greater Georgia Tech
Industrial special will make an eff
fort to participate in this tour OF
their home state is a certainty and
it is believed that scores of others
will join them.
Wickes Wambolt, financial director
of the Greater Georgia Tech move
ment, announced to the Georgians
during their meeting at. the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, that
a tour of Georgia was planned and
the proposal was received with en-
| thusiasm. That Mr.. Wambolt haC
sensed the true feeling of the Geor-
gians became more and more evil
dent as the Tech special moved back
| toward Atlanta, for in spite of al
the wonders they had seen and the
possibilities of Georgia of which the
trip had convinced and convicted
| them, there was not a man aboarC
who was not mighty glad to be bach
on Georgia soil. While our ambition
to see a greater Tech and greater
| industrial Georgia was stirred, M
