New building starts
The city of Atlanta, mean
while, recorded only a six per
cent total crime increase for
the first half of the year.
Gwinnett County showed the
greatest increase in violent
crime with murders, forcible
rapes and aggravated assaults
up 215 per cent. Clayton County
reported a 187 per cent in
crease, unincorporated Fulton
County, 90 per cent;. DeKalb
County, 56 per cent, and Cobb
County, 52 per cent. Atlanta had
a 16 per cent increase.
The most notable increase
was in rape, which the study
said was due to a changing pub
lic attitude toward the crime,
and aggravated assault.
In total crime, Gwinnett
County had a 95 per cent in
crease; Clayton, 63 per cent;

684 lose assistance
ATLANTA (UPI)—A group of
684 veterans attending the Uni
versity of Marietta have had
their educational assistance
checks cancelled by the Veter
ans Administration as a result
of the school losing accredita
tion.
A. W. Tate, VA regional di
rector, said Monday the stu

month. The action was taken
after the five-year-old school
failed degree-granting certifica
tion requirements handed down
by the state Board of Education.
Willard L. Cosby, president of
the school, is also under inves

by state officials.

HOISTS WARNING
NEW YORK (UPI) — Re
search is “desperately needed”
to determine whether arsenic
from agricultural, industrial
and domestic uses is being
magnified to precarious levels
in the food chain or accumulat
ing in soil, according to a
report at the 168th annual
meeting of the American
Chemical Society.
Arsenic compounds are used
as pesticides, herbicides and
defoliants, wood preservatives
in poles and fiber building
boards, and, at least in the
past, as pigments in wallpaper,
according to Dr. Donald P. Cox
of Union Carbide, Charleston,
W. Va. As a research associate
at Cornell University Dr. Cox
found several bacteria that
could convert arsenicals to a
gaseous form under certain
conditions.

Mail facility delayed
ATLANTA (UPI) — The nation’s economic problems
have caused at least a temporary delay in plans for a S4O
million mail processing facility for south Fulton County,
U.S. Postal Service officials said Monday.
A total of $l2O million in construction projects in
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Trenton,
N. J., will be affected by the delay, along with $123 million
in new delivery trucks. The delay resulted from a decision
by the postal service’s board of directors that the post
office cannot absorb the spiraling prices.
The Atlanta district was to receive 200 replacement
delivery trucks in fiscal 1975. A spokesman said the
district has not been informed how many will be delayed
because of the spending cutback.

Sun energy used
REX, Ga. (UPI) — The sun’s energy is being used to
power a signal light at a Southern Railway crossing in this
Atlanta suburb.
The railway crossing light is the first solarpowered
signal crossing on the Southern Railway system. It was
built by Solar Power Corp., Braintree, Mass., under
contract to Southern’s Communications and Signals
Department.
A railroad spokesman said devices using solar energy
and rechargable batteries eliminate the need for line
power and complicated electronics.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -
U.S. District Court Judge Fred
Nichol —citing government
misconduct — Monday dis
missed all charges against
Dennis Banks and Russell
Means, leaders in the 71-day
occupation of Wounded Knee.
“Thank God,” said Means, a
leader of the American Indian
Movement, as he left the
courtroom after more than
eight months of trial. “Mem
bers of AIM believe more in the
American judicial system than
the government. Our treaty
rights stand as we stand here.”
The case went to the jury last
Thursday and the following day
one of the jurors, Mrs. Therese
Cherrier, 53, became ill. Mon
day, doctors said Mrs. Cherrier
had suffered a stroke and could
not continue as a juror. The
government refused to let the
other 11 jurors decide the case.
Nichol, who presided over the
marathon trial, was hardly
elated.
CONVERTING FORT
MINERAL WELLS, Tex.

Wolters, a primary training
facility for helicopter pilots
during the Vietnam War, into
one of the largest park and
recreation areas in the state.
The General Services Ad
ministration announced that
half the fort’s property would
be sold pending a survey. The
GSA will pay for more than
half the cost of the survey,
estimated at $60,000, and city
manager Bill Rivers said the
city and other organizations
using the fort’s facilities would
pay the remaining $25,000.

Iron overdose
is possible
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have
just heard something that has
upset me. I take iron
medicine in liquid form
called Feosol Elixir. On the
bottle it says take a teaspoon
three times a day. I took it
that way at first, but I
became so red I cut down to a
teaspoon once a day, and I
feel so good and people say 1
look robust and healthy. I
have just heard that if one
takes too much iron one can
get cirrhosis of the liver. Is
that so? I have always
thought drinking caused that.
I’m so upset I feel like can
celling all the iron medicine,
but I don’t want to sink back
into anemia. I had a stomach
operation and have been told
what’s left doesn’t take
enough iron from the food I
eat. Please let me know what
I should do.
DEAR READER - It is
true that you can take too
much iron. Ordinarily the
small intestine will regulate
the amount of iron absorbed,
and it will also eliminate
some iron. The balance stays
in the body. Ordinarily there
is no problem of taking too
much iron, but you can over
whelm your digestive system
with iron medicine. This is
why you should not take iron
except on the advice of your
physician. It is usually all
right for women to take the
amount they get in standard
daily vitamin tablets, partic
ularly during the childbear
ing years. In these cases they
need the iron to make up for
blood loss. A few other people
need increased amounts of
iron, such as those with trou
ble absorbing food from the
digestive tract.
You may have less acid
digestive juice since your
stomach operation, and you
may need additional iron to
prevent anemia. And, de
pending upon your problem,
you may also need vitamin
B-12 shots. The stomach nor
mally manufactures a subs
tance called intrinsic factor
that you need to be able to ab
sorb vitamin B-12. Without it

IT’S THE BREW YOU CHEW
— Griffin Daily News Tuesday, September 17,1974
you must take shots or you
will develop a form of per
nicious anemia.
I doubt that one teaspoon a
day of Feosol Elixer will
affect you in any way, but you
need a blood test, and it is im
portant to know the status of
your stomach function. It is
true that if you already have
liver damage, or in certain
forms of anemia, that excess
iron can cause liver damage.
It is not true that you have to
be a heavy drinker to develop
cirrhosis of the liver. Many
non-drinkers develop this
problem from old hepatitis
and for other reasons.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Is it
true that eating too many
eggs can make you blind? I
know that too much
cholesterol is not good, but
coming from Germany
naturally I use a lot of eggs in
everything I can.
DEAR READER - I don’t
think there is a word of truth
in that statement. To the ex
tent that a high cholesterol
diet is related to fatty
cholesterol deposits in the ar
teries, it could contribute to
changes in the arteries in the
back of the eye. Otherwise
you can forget about that
scare statement.
Send your questions to Dr.
Lamb, in care of this newspa
per, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City
Station, New York, N.Y.

Lamb’s booklet on
cholesterol, send 50 cents to
