legumes or peanuts to plant for the best

Delia’s scientific field revolves
around food pigments and flavors. Her
research has included ways to keep
natural colors and flavors in foods,
including fruits and fish, while canning
and preserving them.
She has a real aversion to artificially
colored food.
Jaime began his college career at the
University of the Andes in Bogota. He
later transferred to Brandeis
University near Boston under a special
scholarship exchange program.
When he first arrived in the U. S., he
could not speak English.
But after a month’s crash course and
living with a “typical American
family” in New York for a while, he
mastered the language fairly well.
He received his B.S. degree at
Brandeis, then earned his master’s and
doctorate at the University of Rhode
Island.
Delia graduated with a B.S. degree at
a Philippine college, earned her
master’s at the University of Hawaii
and her Ph.D. at the University of
California at Davis. She met Jamie
while doing post graduate work at the
University of Rhode Island.
Since English is taught to all
Philippine children, she had no
problems with the language in
America.
In another month, they’ll be leaving
Griffin for Brazil, where he has
accepted a professorship at the
University of Campinas in Sao Paulo.
Delia can hardly wait to get back to
her research. She hopes her sister, a
social worker in Philadelphia, will
come to Brazil and keep the baby while
she is working.
Neither Delia nor Jaime has met
their in-laws. They’ve talked over the
phone and have sent dozens of pictures,
however.
They both stress education and try to
put Karen in a learning environment all
her waking hours. Her room has been
transformed into a giant playpen where
she can have learning experiences with
different objects and shapes.
“Griffin, compared with other cities
we’ve lived in, is a wholesome place to
raise children,” Delia observed.
She said there is a lot of emphasis in
the Philippines on education. She is one
of eight children and they all attended
college.
Philippine parents have a great deal
of drive and see that their children
receive the best education, she ex
plained. A woman who specializes in
agricultural chemistry, like herself, is
not unusual in the Philippines, she
added.
Jaime said that is not the case in
Colombia. He also was one of eight
children but became motivated to study
harder when at 15 he had to drop out of
high school because of a kidney disease.
It kept him out of circulation for three
years.
During that time, he deciced to study
medicine to learn more about his
sickness.
Later he became interested in the
agricultural field because of its
research possibilities.
“It’s very satisfying when one’s
research can help feed a hungry
world,” he said.
SAN FRANCISCO—Why would anyone want to wrestle a
643-lb., 8-3 opponent who hasn’t lost in 10,000 matches?
“For excitement,” says bear trainer George Allen. He
expects about a dozen Bay Area hardys to try their skills
with Victor, the only Alaskan Brown Bear ever trained to
“rassle.” Here, Jim Coreas, Cherry Hill, N.J. tries his

Plant backers say odor no problem
Spalding County residents
don’t have to worry about of
fensive odors when
Tallowmasters of Georgia
opens its new plant addition at
the end of next month, accor
ding to a plant spokesman.
The plant is located on the
south side of New Salem road,
near the Flint river and the City
of Griffin’s pump station.
The spokesman said the new
plant has complied with state
regulations.
“It will be odorless and the
cleanest operation in Georgia
and the southeast,” he stated.
A building permit for the
$120,000 expansion was issued
by the county building inspector
to T & A Enterprises, Inc.,
president, Joe Clark.
Mr. Clark was not available
for comment this morning, but
according to the spokesman, the
Atlanta Tallow Co., 1455
Fairmont avenue, Atlanta, is
combining with Tallowmasters

works, complain that the odor is
so bad they can hardly breathe.
One businessman was quoted as
saying his customers didn’t see
how he could stand it. He said
the smells made him sick one
day last week.
Arnold Zipperman, general
manager of the Atlanta plant,
conceded the plant’s outdated
equipment aggravates the
problem, but he asked for
patience.
He said the company hopes to
move to its new $1.5-million
“odor-free” operation in
Spalding County by the end of
March.
The company, which had
promised to move by Dec. 31,
has paid SI,OOO fines for each
month after then it has
remained in its present
location.
A hearing is scheduled
Tuesday on a motion to close the
plant.
At the Atlanta plant, three
tons of animal parts are fed by a
conveyer belt into a huge cooker
approximately 40 times a day.
The rendered tallow is
discharged into a receiving vat.
It is used in making chicken
feed and for other agricultural
and industrial uses.
Zipperman said only
byproducts from slaughtered
animals are used and none from

animals that were diseased or
died of natural causes.
One of his neighbors was
quoted as saying, “You don’t
ever know when those fumes
are gonna get out — they’re
cookin’ up all this old rotten
meat, dead animals and
everything else...it’s un
bearable.”
The Griffin spokesman said
the plant here will be a “nice
clean operation” with all
stainless steel equipment and
tile floors and walls. Everything
will be completely sealed and
will be steam cleaned.
“Griffin will gain from it”, he
added.

ting,” a palace spokesman said
Wednesday.

week Lord Snowdon, the former

divorce.

Fight
crime
Street robberies are a quick way for
the criminal to make money, and
today’s robber is looking for an easy
target. Safeguard yourself in these
common-sense ways.
Be aware of your surroundings, and
stay in lighted areas at night. Stay with
the crowd — there’s safety in numbers.
Carry your wallet in an inside pocket,
and carry any purse or package close to
your body.
Avoid people loitering on the street or
near buildings, and notify police of
strangers hanging around your home or
apartment. If driving, keep your doors
locked and don’t put valuables on the
seat beside you. Lock your car when
parking, and check it before entering.
Take the profit out of street robbery.
Don’t carry large sums of money, and
use your common sense to avoid
becoming a victim.
