A PASTRY OPERATION
LONDON (UPl)—Mrs. Es
ther Martin, wife of a pub
owner, didn’t want to destroy
her creation after she realized
she had dropped her wedding
ring into the cake she was
mixing so she agreed to a
suggestion to have the cake x
rayed.
Laboratory technician Tony
Egan took the cake to his lab
where an x-ray revealed the
ring embedded about one and a
half inches down among fruits
and nuts.
Mrs. Martin performed an
“operation” to remove the ring
and then iced the cake again.

Professor
suspended
ATLANTA (UPI) - An Au
gusta College psychology profes
sor, who pictured his school as
being mismanaged and corrupt,
has been suspended and threat
ened with his second firing in
three years.
Frank duMas said he had
been informed of his suspension,
with pay, in a letter from Au
gusta College President George
Christenberry, who also in
formed him, “You are about to
be terminated for cause in the
near future.”
Christenberry said duMas’
report to the Southern Associa
tion of Colleges and Schools
prompted the action.
DuMas’ “minority report”
urged that a committee of top
professors from other state uni
versities be sent to investigate
alleged maladministration of the
college and campus corruption.
He also charged several top of
ficials of the Georgia Univers
ity System, including Chancel
lor George L. Simpson, were
guilty of conflicts of interest.
The report countered a self
study report filed by faculty
members of the college, which
is seeking to have its accredi
tation renewed.
Christenberry gave duMas un
til June 23 to request a faculty
hearing. DuMas said he would
appeal “to the very top.”
DuMas was fired from the
school in 1969 after charging the
college was falsely listing pro
fessors in the school catalogue
as having doctor’s degrees. He
was reinstated after a faculty
committee found the charges
against him to be unjustified.
Thieves busy
The Griffin Police Depart
ment investigated the theft of
several items.
Mrs. Mary Lu Banks of Ex
periment was at work at the
Broadway Launderette early
this morning when a woman
came in to use the phone. Mrs.
Banks said her purse was by the
phone and when the woman left,
she noticed her purse was gone.
The purse and its contents
were valued at S4O.
Edward Stallings of Lithonia
parked a truck at a service
station on Meriwether street
and when he returned, a pair of
hand trucks, valued at S4O, were
missing.
A tape player and several
tapes were taken from an auto
owned by Danny Sawyer of 901
Morningside drive. The car was
parked in front of his home.
Their value was set at about
$lO4.
Raising funds
Margaret Mitchell of Apart
ment One, Spalding Heights,
just off North Hill extension,
said she and a group of adults
are attempting to raise funds
for a youth center and Sunday
School building.
She said an abandoned dairy
barn near Spalding Heights had
been rented.
Money is being raised through
food sales on the weekend from
the Mitchell apartment, she
said.

U.S. 78
opened
to traffic
ATLANTA (UPI)-The explo
sion of a dynamite-laden truck
near Waco, Ga., that killed five
persons last week might have
been avoided, a preliminary
state investigation indicates, if
the dynamite and blasting caps
had been in separate vehicles.
The company which owned
the truck said the explosives and
caps were in separate compart
ments. But Gov. Jimmy Carter
said that wasn’t good enough.-
He ordered a check made into
the state statutes to determine
whether there are regulations
prohibiting such movement.
If not, he said, “We need to
change the laws.”
Meanwhile, U. S. 78 was
opened to traffic after work
crews completed repairs on the
100-foot long, 20-foot deep crater
blasted into the hi ghway when
the truck exploded Friday
night.

Dougherty
must draw
new plan
NEWORLEANS (UPI) - The
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
overturned a federal court de
cision Monday and ordered
Dougherty County, Ga., to draw
up a new student assignment
plan more in line with Supreme
Court desegregation mandates.
The county was told to “con
stitute and implement” a plan
“that complies with the princi
ples established” in the Char
lotte-Mecklenburgdecision.
That decision earlier this year
held that busing of school chil
dren to achieve racial balance
was a proper means to achieve
racial mixing in certain cases.
The circuit court said the
judgment of the federal court
for the Middle District of Geor
gia was vacated as related to
student assignment and the case
was remanded.
