Lurton Bedwell and children. Lost three-story house and then admittedly lied and begged for a year to get others to join him. When Griggs "fell in love" with his house in 1969, more than 30 tenants were crowded into five apartments. The front doors, which open onto an ornate foyer, had been nailed open. Tenants mounted a circular oak staircase or walked through doorways framed in hand-carved, birds-eye maple to enter rooms constructed by the craftsmen of the waning Victorian Era.

The city had filed sue pages of code violations against the house. Junked cars and garbage filled the streets. Gunfire was heard nightly. Adding to the risk of investment, two expressway projects were aimed through the community. "This restoration movement got started because I lied for a year," said Griggs, 35.

"I told people that it was just wonderful out here. 1 did anything and everything to get people to move in, including renting trucks and using my Now it is v. By DALLAS LEE Associated Press Writer ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) A neighborhood of decaying mansions a mile from the center of this 'Southern city has been rescued from a ghetto fate by Atlantans taking a I gamble on inner-city restora- tion. The towering, stately slruc-I tures were built in the 1890s as I the lawn-graced homes of the I new city's first wealthy class, which included the founders of Coca Cola.

But after the turn of the cen-J tury, bungalows crowded out the lush, magnolia-lined land-; scape and many original own-ers moved out of this first gar- den suburb to newer developments. By the 1950s, the. houses were in the hands of landlords who carved the oncehandsome room into seedy, rent-by-the week apartments. I'A movement to reclaim the tnansions from slum lords began three years ago when designer Robert Griggs bought a fuj re Ab 31 a lot of soul," said the bearded artist, who designed a butterfly-like flag for the houses under restoration. "You've just got to uncover it" Susan Bridges, the 31-year-old wife of a urologist, spent weeks scrubbing paint and grime from moulding and wainscotting inside her house.

She used hot water and ammonia. "I lost 10 pounds immediately," the tall, slim brunette said. The Bridges paid $30,000 for their house, and Mrs. Bridges commented, "The slum lord laughed all the way to the bank. But now he stands on the curb and cries when he sees it." The Bridges' home is particularly memorable for the four inch wide, heart-of-pine floors throughout.

The wood is now stained and polished, but the Bridges were discouraged for a time about restoration possibilities when several refinishing firms refused to take on the splintered, greasy floors.

But IPR so far has been a faithful participant in BOND, a coalition oL neighborhood groups from five communities, and has coordinated its land use planning efforts with BOND'S prime concerns. "There's definitely a certain amount of snobbishness in IPR and definitely a bit of resentment in the rest of the community," said Charles Helms, a Presbyterian community minister and BOND volunteer. "The surprising thing is that there has been so little approaches being a miracle to me. Fortunately some people in IPR realize there's more than restoration of houses going on here. There's the matter of restoring the community."

Some 600 visitors turned out and a of them purchased houses that winter. Now some 200 Atlantans most of whom are potentially affluent professionals in their early 30s have joined Inman Park Restoration Inc.

and commited themselves to reclaiming the neighborhood from slum lords. About 100 houses are in some stage of restoration, with the new owners living-in and doing most of the work themselves. IPR has joined other community organizations in a successful fight to kill one expressway project and tie up another in litigation. It also has designed a land use plan for the 375-house neighborhood, which it hopes will persuade city hall to rezone the area residential. Currently Inman Park is zoned for light industry and apartments.

There are only a few of the huge, elaborate Victorian houses still to be reclaimed. But an active market has developed for the bungalows and even for the tiny row houses at the Fulton Cotton Mill in a poverty section called "Cabbagetown." The fever of current interest in Inman Park arouses curiosity about why the Atlanta elite did not hold their Victorian prizes any longer. Jim Whitnel, president of the Atlanta Victorian Society and an Inman Park resident, takes the harsh view that the Atlanta rich were too concerned about building more stately mansions, particularly copies of Italian villas, French Chateaux and 18 century plantation homes. "Atlanta is ashamed of being a Victorian town," he said. "There is a social movement in Atlanta, strictly northward (up Peachtree Whitnel said.

"The rich moved from the West End to Washington Avenue to Inman Park to Druid Hills to Ansley Park, then td Buckhead and now Sandy Springs in the suburbs. In another generation or two they'll be in Chattanooga." Franklin Garrett, director of the Atlanta Historical Society, said Atlanta was a "child of the Victorian Era." The railroad terminus around which the town grew was completed in 1837, the year of Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne, he said, and by the time she died in 1901, Atlanta had a population of nearly 100,000. Although not a resident of Inman Park, Garrett is a member of IPR. "With all the destruction from highways and freeways, we saw a lot of our heritage disappearing. We were winding up with pseudo-ranch houses in the suburbs and nothing in the city," he said.

"Some of these people saw the intrinsic value of the houses. renaissance has occurred." The beauty and craftsmanship of the elegant old homes simply has to be uncovered. In Griggs' mansion, which he purchased for $2,500, cheap varnish hid the ornate woodwork and curved wooden shutters. Grime disguised the silver hardware on doors and the brass toilet tissue standards in the bathrooms. The stench of poverty filled every room and was literally ground into the hardwood floors.

Graphic designer Ken Thompson spent a week atop a ladder using a blowtorch to sear away decades of paint from the ornate, sculptured moulding around his huge front porch.

Us she plans it, she may lie on her side with wings quivering as if she were about gone.Hal Harrison noted that the male paid him little attention as he photographed a nest of babies and even fed them with him nearby.

The female never did get over her nervousness and kept putting on her act. The Black and White Warbler has an extensive range. It breeds from Newfoundland, North Ontario, central Manitoba and central Mackenzie in Canada south to north Georgia, central Alabama and east Texas. It winters from Florida and north Mexico south to Venezuela and Ecuador. FROM READERS: Mrs.

Sara Cassady, Fort Campbell resident, has a Whip-poor-will which sits on their front porch and sings persistently each night, awakening them at all hours! When she turns the porch light on, it stops singing and gazes at her until she opens the door and shoos him away. (The Chuck-will's-widow, cousin of the Whip-poor-will, is to be featured in this column soon) The Cassadys have a friend in Louisville who has a bird nest on the ground beside his back porch and thinks it is some kind of sparrow. In an April column, I stated that the April 11 freeze ruined prospects for many kinds of wildlife food, such as mulberries, hackberries, wild grapes, acorns, etc. because those trees had the blooms killed. I also listed hickories.

I find, however, that hickory trees are full of blooms now so maybe the squirrels will have some nuts after all. I know that our grape vines had their blooms killed, but now are blooming again to some extent. Maybe this is the case with hickories, for I thought they were blooming in mid-April. It is a frustrating thing, after putting up a bird house and getting the desired occupants, to find one day that a predator has robbed the nest of eggs or babies and maybe caught the mother bird as well. Such things happen regularly in the wild, and some predators are very hard to outsmart.

A whole column should be devoted to this subject, but here are a few hints I've read A smooth metal pole for the birdhouse is harder for the snake, cat, or raccoon to climb than a wooden post. However, snakes and raccoons have been lenown to climb metal poles. One suggestion is to coat the pole or post with soft car grease often during nesting. (I don't recommend this if the birdhouse is next to a pasture, however, for grease is harmful to livestock). Another suggestion I've read is to tie some abosrbent material, like terry cloth or felt, around the pole about half way up and keep it soaked with creosote, which snakes are said to detest.

It wears black and white stripes all over, even on its head, setting it apart for eisy identification. Another way that the Black qnd White is different from cjther Warblers is in its feeding habits. It feeds on the trunks and main limbs of a tree like a Brown Creeper or a Nuthatch. Indeed, it can even oome down the. tree headfirst lis anatomy is adapted for such work.

The bill is long, slender and slightly curved. The hind toe is longer thajn the rjriddle toe and it has stouter rlails than any other Warbler fpr clinging to the vertical tfunk. insects are its only food. Their eggs and pupae are pillled for crevices in the bark with the long, curved bill with which God provided the bird. The tail is short and nearly square for bracing on a tree.

One just wouldn't expect a Warbler to act as the Black and White does! All types of woodlands, wfiether mature or second growth attract rather mon, but I i Warbler. may this From arrival in early spring until nesting is well ALLEN underway, the male sings almost incessantly each day. The common song is a monotonous "Wee-sy" repeated 6 to 12 times in a series. Every other note is lower than the pre-ceeding one, producing a rolling sound. 'It It is high, thin and buzzy.

The Black and White has a descriptive name, for its upperparts are black and white striped and its un-derparts white. It is more finely streaked on, the sides. While the Blackpoll Warbler also has black and white striped upperparts, it wears a distinct black cap. the female Black and White is father similar to the male, but duller with a trace of brqwn on the sides and indistinct streaks below. Juveniles have distinctive head stripes but the body stripes are two shades of brown.

The adults measure jusf over 5 inches long. The nest is placed on the grdund in a depression at the basfe of a tree or stump, or under a rock or log. It is made of (lead leaves, bark fibers, graps and rootlets. On a lining of hjair or fern down, the 4 or 5 white eggs, thickly spotted with brown and purple, are laid like a Killdeer or a Dove, the; little bird puts on her "seHously injured" act when an intruder nears the nest. She mnfc on the ground, wings fluttering pitifully, in hopes of leading you away from' her nest.
