Four men sentenced
after entering pleas
Four men were given prison
sentences yesterday when Oley
entered guilty pleas in Spalding
Spalding Superior Court.
Robert Jesse Sims, 28, of 521
Bell street, pleaded guilty to
attempted rape and the theft of
a motor vehicle and was sen
tenced to a total of 10 years in
the penitentiary.
Sims, who was an employe at
the Dixie Oil Co., on the North
Expressway was charged with
attempting to rape a woman
customer who drove into the
station to purchase some
cigarets. He was accused of
forcing her to the rear of the
station by use of threats and a
pistol, then of driving off in her
car when she broke away and
ran. The vehicle later was found
abandoned near the Atlanta
Raceway in Hampton.
He told the court he didn’t
remember much of what
happened, as he had had no
sleep for 120 hours and had been
taking something to keep him
awake.
Judge Whalen set his sen
tence at seven years on the
attempted rape charge and
three years on the theft charge.
The sentences will run con
secutively and thereby total 10
years.
Two men were sentenced to a
total of five years each when

James Sherman, 334 North
Fifth street, and Marvin Piercy,
20, of 619 Pool road, Apt. Four.
They admitted burglarizing the
home of Geraldine Knight of
Quiet Hill Apartments, and
taking a combination radio-tape
player and two speakers, and
the home of Willie Ison, on
South Ninth street, where items
ranging from a television to
shaving lotion were taken.
Piercy said he remembered

Willie James must have gotten
that.

The executive director of the
Southeastern Poultry and Egg
Association said his members,
who produce 85 per cent of the
nation’s broilers and 40 per cent
of the table eggs, said the farm
ers can no longer face the pos
sibility of financial ruin.
The farmers “are willing to
hold on and lose money for two
or three weeks,” said Harold E.
Ford. But, he added, there
would be a “major reduction of
up to 4 to 5 per cent in table
eggs and 12 to 15 per cent in
frying chickens” if the present
freeze continued.
Ford said egg farmers are
losing 3 to 4 cents a dozen, and
frying chicken producers are
losing about 5 to 8 cents per
pound across the country.
Ford said he still hoped some
sort of relief would rescue the
poultry farmers.

The owner of a Georgia poul

suppliers because of the price
barrier.
Richard Royal, of Camilla,
said although prices weren’t

many of his customers were dis

They cannot stand these losses

The agency said the tremor

Summer furniture
must be durable
By JOYCE ROARK
Copley News Service
Summer is the season for
outdoor living. The furniture
we choose for the patio or
lawn must be able to with
stand the sun and rain of sum
mer and still retain its beauty.
One item commonly chosen
for use in the yard is an um
brella. The least expensive is
painted cotton canvas. The
bright designs are an acrylic
base paint that is water repel
lent and resists fading.
Another material used in
lawn umbrellas is vinyl
coated canvas. It’s usually
found in pastel colors but it’s
easy to clean. It’s longer last
ing and more expensive than
the painted cotton.
Plain cotton canvas that has
the design woven into the fab
ric is still more expensive.
Woven acrylic canvas is like
cotton but will resist mildew.
This one is more expensive,
still, but it’s exceptionally
durable.
A new type of umbrella is
made by laminating vinyl to
both sides of a fabric such as
nylon or polyester. This type
is recognized by its slightly
translucent appearance. It’s
cost is about the same as vinyl
coated canvas umbrellas.
To clean umbrellas, wipe
with a sponge or soft brush.
Tears should be mended by
gluing a small patch of fabric
over the fabric on the top side.
(Vinyl-base awning cement is
most effective on vinyl fab
rics. ) Pinholes in vinyl can be
repaired with a special vinyl
paint that is available from
the manufacturer.
Color and water repellency
of painted canvas can be re
stored by repainting with an
acrylic paint.
If recovering is necessary,
see your dealer. You can re
place the umbrella fabric at a
reasonable cost that is less
than a new umbrella.
Outdoor furniture is of two
types — upholstered cushions
and webbed. Upholstered
cushions should have an
urethane foam filling and a
heavy-duty, supported vinyl
fabric covering. This type is
most durable and can be left
out in the rain without dam
age.
Some cushions found on
redwood and rattan furniture
— Griffin Daily News Wednesday, June 27, 1973
have a heavy-duty cotton cov
ering. This fabric doesn’t re
sist mildew or sun-rotting like
vinyl.
All padded cushions should
have welted seams for longest
wear. Welted seams are char
acterized by a cord.
Sponging with a sudsy wa
ter solution or a weak bleach
solution is all that is needed to
keep vinyl clean and pretty.
Never use abrasive scouring
pads. They could mar the sur
face.
Cleaning cotton fabrics is
more difficult but not impos
sible. If the fabric has a soil
resistant finish and the filling
is urethane, soap and water
should do the job. Prop up the
cushions to dry.
It’s possible to find some
cushions with a polyester fill
ing. This is probably better
than the urethane but they
will be more expensive.
Webbed chairs and chaises
differ in quality by the way
they have been webbed. Look
for a close network of firmly
attached strips. The more
strips, the sturdier the web
bing will be.
Cleaning is difficult with a
cloth. Use a vegetable brush
and plenty of soap and water,
rinse with a hose or under the
shower. If a strip of webbing
breaks, replace it with new
webbing available wherever
outdoor-furniture is sold.

Kelley gets
approval
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Clar
ence M. Kelley, the Kansas
City, Mo., police chief nick
named “Dick Tracy” because
of his electronic innovations,
won the approval Tuesday of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
to succeed J. Edgar Hoover as
FBI director.
Senate leaders said they
expected Kelley to win confir
mation by the full Senate
handily.
The confirmation of Kelley,
61, an FBI agent himself for 21
years, ends a search of more
than a year for a successor to
the near legendary Hoover, who
died in May, 1972.
Kelley, a professional law
enforcement officer noted for
his efforts to bring modern
computer-oriented techniques to
the Kansas City Police Depart
ment, spent only three days
answering senators’ questions
in Justice Committee hearings.
The only opposition to his
nomination came from Bruce
R. Watkins, a Kansas City civil
rights leader, who charged
Kelley was an “unyielding law
and order man” who had
instituted a spy system to
harass members of organiza
tions whose political ideals
differed from those of the chief
and his police department.
Kelley, however, promised
the senators that any intelli
gence gathering he undertook
as FBI director would not
violate the constitutional rights
of individuals.
He said he favored a
congressional oversight com
mittee to monitor the FBl’s
activities, recommended limit
ed tenure for the director, but
questioned a suggestion that the
agency be removed from the
jurisdiction of the Justice
Department.
