Rotary Seeks
Candidates For
Scholarship
The Rotary Club of Griffin is
seeking young people in this
area to apply for an award to
study abroad for a year under a
grant from The Rotary Foun
dation of Rotary International,
according to Henry Walker,
president of the club.
Those interested may secure
application forms and informa
tion by writing C. J. Cheves of
744 East College street, a Ro
tarian who is in charge of the
project for the club.
The Rotary Foundation’s ed
ucational awards program has
been in effect since 1947 and was
created for the purpose of
furthering international under
standing.
Since 1947, more than 4,000
students, craftsmen and young
business and professional men
have received these awards,
supported by voluntary contri
butions of Rotarians and other
interested people throughout
the world. To date, these study
grants have totaled more than
$9,000,000.
This year, according to Presi
dent Walker, the Foundation is
providing $1,190,000 to 571 young
men and women.
In the past, Rotary Foun
dation awards in this area have
been given to Miss Julia Britt
Steanson of Griffin who studied
at University of Mexico in 1963.

Factory is symbol of Viet city’s grit
By DAVID LAMB
HUE, Vietnam (UPI) — The
old French lime factory that
has survived American bombs,
Japanese occupation and Viet
namese ransacking is operating
again with the help of Russian
trucks.
The factory really is just a
small thing in the li/e of Hue.
Yet it is one of the symbols
people point to when they talk
about the resurrection of their
city after the Tet offensive early
this year.
Built in 1902 by the French,

the Long Tho lime factory on
the outskirts of Hue employs
200 persons and produces 300
tons of lime a month despite
a series of events that threatened
its survival.
During World War 11, the
300 Japanese who occupied Hue
set up a command post in the
rambling yellow stucco factory
and were the frequent target
of bombs from U.S. war planes.
By 1948, the Japanese had
left, the French had returned
and another war was being
fought in Vietnam, this time
between the French and the
Viet Minh. Seven years later
the French sold the factory to
the Vietnamese government.
“When Hue was destroyed
in the Tet offensive, we used
the factory as a refugee center,”
said Ton That Hanh, 41, the
chunky, bespectacled assistant
manager of Long Tho. “But
when they left, they stole every
thing. There was very little
left/’
Hanh was a science profes
sor at the university in Hue,
400 miles northeast of Saigon,
from 1959 to 1966. He lost
his security clearance for his
alleged connections with the
militant Buddhists. He denied
the charge and has protested
the decision.
With production having fal
len steadily since its monthly
high of 1,400 tons in 1940,
the factory was closed during
the Tet offensive and did not
reopen until last April.
Two Russian-made trucks
captured by the U.S. 101st Air
borne Division in the Ashau
Valley now help haul the lime
stone from an earthen deposit
to the nearby factory where
it is refined into lime for build
ing blocks and whitewash. The
coal to stoke the three furnaces
is lugged by U.S. Helicopters
from An Hoa to da Nang, then
shoveled on to a train for the
50-mi)e trip to Hue.
It is a slow, expensive pro
cess, and American advisers pri
vately admit about $25,000 in
machinery could increase pro
duction and replace most of the
200 workers.
But that, they say, is not
the point. They consider the
factory a symbol of Hue’s de
termination a product more
valuable than lime.

Izaak Walton’s “The Com
pleat Angler,” published in
1653, is the third best all
time seller in the English
language, being exceeded by
the Bible and “Pilgrim’s
Progress.”
