One of the most fearsome meteorological phenomena in man's experience, the tornado usually strikes with
little warning and frequently devastating results. This photo sequence taken near Gruver, Tex., shows the swift
development of a typical twister from a low-hanging cloud . . . formation of a tail . . . then a funnel . . . and,
finally, a full-blown classic tornado sweeping across the prairie. Tornadoes can occur at any time of year and
in all areas, although much of Texas and Oklahoma are in the heart of the twister belt. (Photos by Larry

Midgette appealed to the Mer
it Board and was reinstated to
his job last year after charging
he was released for “political
and bureaucratic reasons.” He
said he would file a similar ap
peal this time.
However, Mrs. Mary Jewett,
director of the Georgia Histori
cal Commission and Midgette’s
superior, said he was being re
leased because he would not
follow orders.
“When you work for the state
or for any organization there
are certain rules and regula
tions that need to be followed,”
said Mrs. Jewett, “fie has nev
er wanted to take orders.”
Midgette claimed, “Ever
since reinstatement, I have lit
erally been under house arrest.
They have permitted me to do
no archaeological work and
they have forced me to sit at
a desk without telephone,
typewriter or use of the keys to
the archaeology lab.”
Midgette also claimed that a
report he prepared seeking to
■■ma w .... TZJmiiw
preserve 1,000 historical sites
on the Altamaha River under
the federal National Register
program was never submitted,
Mrs. Jewett said Midgette
had been assigned several pro
jects but had missed his dead
lines on all of them; she also
said the Altamaha River study
could not be submitted because
it wasn’t in the proper form
acceptable to federal officials.
“When you are dealing with
federal programs and other pro
grams things are acceptable or
they’re not.”
She said Midgette is filing his
appeal because “he’s deter
mined to make trouble ... in
my opinion that’s all it is.”

Dear Dr. Lainb—My wife
spent several days in the
hospital having multiple
X rays. After two X rays,
they said they couldn’t find
her gallbladder, that it was
clogged up with stones. I
thought that the X ray would
show bones, stones or solid
materials. What is your opin
ion of this? Please advise if
there is any medicine for
gallstones.
Dear Reader—lt is fairly
common for a “nonfunction
ing gallbladder” not to show
on X rays. The way a gall
bladder X ray is done is to
have the person take some
pills which have a dye in
them which will show up on
the X ray. This dye material
is absorbed by the blood
stream and filtered out by
the liver, eventually being
carried by the bile and
stored in the gallbladder.
Now if the gallbladder is dis
eased too badly, the bile will
flow on out through the bile
duct into the intestines and
there won’t be any storage
of bile in the gallbladder.
When this occurs since no
dye reaches the gallbladder
it can’t be seen on the X ray.
If the reason the gallblad
der is not functioning is be
cause it has stones in it,
sometimes these stones can
be seen, but it depends on
what kind of stones they are.
If they are stones that con
tain minerals in them like
that found in bones, then
they will be seen on the X
ray. Some stones, however,
are made of cholesterol and
contain no minerals. These
do not cause any shadows by
Occupation safety plan
would cost $900,000
ATLANTA (UPI) - A new
occupational health and safety
program for Georgia will cost
the state’s taxpayers about
$900,000, a Senate study com
mittee was told Thursday.
DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
Gallbladder Stones
Cause Difficulties
X ray. These stones look like
clear spots or holes in the
gallbladder filled with the
dye that is opaque to X rays.
But if the gallbladder doesn’t
fill and it has translucent
stones in it, it will not show
up on the X ray.
There are really no good
medicines that will dissolve
stones in the gallbladder.
There are some recent stud
ies on this problem that sug
gest that some stones may
be dissolved but this needs
further study before general
use. Most medicines given
for gallbladder disease are
for relief of symptoms. If
there are a number of stones
in the gallbladder, surgery
is usually indicated.
* Ms s’t
You may have a dental
problem after a rear-end
auto collision. When the head
snaps back, the mouth flies
open then snaps shut abrupt
ly. This can cause stretch
ing or tearing of muscles and
ligaments that control the
lower paw. When this occurs
there is pain on chewing
and limitation in opening the
mouth or in the movements
of the jaw. The problem is
treated much like any other
sprained joint. The muscles
must be treated with special
exercises designed to regain
normal range of function.

J. T. Gregory, who heads the
Office of Occupational Safety
and Health, said 80 to 90 in
spectors are called for under
the program to police Georgia
industries.
He said a program to offer
technical assistance to corpora
tions not in compliance with
federal safety standards is in
cluded.
Gregory said the plan will
cost about $900,000 each in state
and federal funds.
The program will be submit
ted to the General Assembly
in January where it is due for
some rough sledding.
The occupational health and
safety program has been a
longstanding source of conten
tion between Gov. Jimmy Car
ter and Labor Commissioner
Sam Caldwell.
Carter took the safety pro
gram away from Caldwell ear
lier this year and put it under
the Workmen’s Compensation
Board, administered by the
newly created Office of Occupa
tional Safety and Health. He
also vetoed a bill that would
have left the program in Cald
well’s hands.
Chairman of the Senate
Industrial Safety Study Com
mittee, which held the hearing,
is Sen. Mayion London, D-
Cleveland, a long time Caldwell
backer.
Gregory said if the General
Assembly does not approve the
plan the federal government
will take over its administra
tion. However, he warned that
the federally administered pro
gram would not include the
technical assistance program.
Gregory said the program
could be fully implemented by
July, 1975.
ANIMAL NAPPERS

Both involved pairs of animals.
