Six Flags Firm
Shows Profit Jump
ARLINGTON, Tex. (UPI) —
Soaring attendance figures at
“Six Flags Over Georgia” and
“Six Flags Over Texas”
jumped consolidated income for
1967 by 66 per cent, the owner
of the amusement parks says.
The Great Southwest Corp., a
development and leasing firm
which operates the Georgia
park in Atlanta and the Texas
one midway between Dallas
and Fort Worth, announced in
come of more than $5 million.
The corporation is a sub
sidiary of the Pennsylvania-
Central Railroad, the recently
approved merger of the Penn
sylvania and New York Cen
tral railroads.
Angus G. Wynne Jr., presi
dent of Great Southwest, said
the income brought a dividend
of $4.42 per share, compared
with $2.65 per share for 1966
when earnings were $3 million.
Wynne said revenue totaled
about S3O million for Great
Southwest in 1967, compared
with s2l million in 1966. He
said Georgia’s “Six Flags”
drew 1,100,000 visitors during
1967, and Texas’ “Six Flags” a
record 2 million persons.

‘2O-Year Fractures’
Doting On Children
Blamed For Divorces
ATLANTA (UPI) — A psy
chiatrist says more couples
than ever before are struck
with the “20 - year fractures’’
and getting divorces, mainly be
cause they dote too much on
their children.
Dr. Alfred A. Messer, profes
sor of psychiatry at Emory
University, told the Georgia As
sociation of Mental Health mar
riages that lasted 20 years or
more are breaking up at an in
creasing rate.
“We are living in the ‘Ctntury
of the Child,’ " Dr. Messer said.
“When the children grow up
and leave home, the parents
may find they have little to
share with one another.”
Dr. Messer said too many
parents turn too often to their
children for “emotional gratifi
cation that rightfully should
come from the spouse.”
He blamed part of that on life
in a mobile society where par
ents lack opportunity to form
relationships with older, more
mature relatives and their own
Vandalism To
Helicopters
Investigated
ESAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) —FBI
agents questioned soldiers a.
the Army’s Hunter Air Field
near here today about an appar
ent attempt to burn a helicop
ter.
Army spokesman ruled out
sabotage in the incident, but
there were indications some
soldiers at the base may have
tried to vandalize the helicopter.
There have been several re
cent helicopter crashes at the
post, a training base for heli
copter pilots. However, the
Army said no connection be
tween the attempted burning
and the crashes has been made.
“We’d like to call this an at
tempt to damage government
property,” a spokesman for the
base said. “It was in no way
connected with any kind of sab
otage.”
“We do not think that any
outside spy or subversive agent
came in and attempted to sabo
tage the craft,” the spokeman
said.
The FBI declined comment on
the case other than to confirm
they were questioning soldiers
at Hunter Air Field. The FBI
was called into the case last
week when a mechanic found
gasoline leaking from an open
valve on the helicopter.
Several gasoline-soaked rags
were found smoldering inside
the helicopter cabin, but did not
burst into flames, the Army
spokesman said.
Brig. Gen. Frank Meszar,
base commander, said the rag
incident followed recent thefts
of tools and equipment and
promoted him to call the FBI.
Meszar also ordered a chain
ling fence moved to surround a
parking lot near the field, re
quiring persons entering the lot
to pass through a guard gate.
He also said a study is under
way to see if the base, now
open to civilian traffic, should
be closed to the point that
civilian vehicles would have to
display visitor permits and give
a reason to enter Hunter Air
Field.
The Army base is part of the
Fort Stewart - Hunter complex
that soon will be at a top
strength of more than 13,000
troops.

parents.
Dr. Messer prescribed greater
emotional fulfillment between
partners in marriage, as well as
long engagements, to avoid the
"sudden” realization that after
20 years of marriage and the
children on their own, “I didn’t
really know him (or her).”
He noted one other factor in
divorces after years of mar
riage, that many grooms and
brides walked to the alter with
the bride pregnant.
“In a large metropolitan city,
a survey of recently - married
couples showed that one - third
of the females were pregnant at
the time of marriage,” he said.
“Once the youngsters are
grown, the reasons for continu
ing the marriage may no longer
be the same,” Dr. Messer said.
