THE MAN
What kind of man lives in the
structure such as the domes in Pike
County?
In this case, it is obviously one with a
zest for life, one who is constantly
looking for new and greater challenges,
and one who will not let his age slow his
momentum.
“I do not belong among the living
dead. I expect to live and produce every
day of my life. I’m in the selling
business because it is telling ideas,”
said the 66-year-old Phillips.
And telling ideas is what Phillips has
been doing since he first started
making violins as an apprentice in his
father’s shop in 1926 in in Pittsburg.
His father, now 91, no longer prac
tices the fine art.
After having worked with building
musical stringed instruments, Phillips
practiced hard and in the 30’s he joined
the Pittsburg Symphony Orchestra. He
played the viola for three years with the
symphony.
Upon leaving the symphony, Phillips
joined the Westinghouse Company,
working with high voltage air break
switches, later to become a tool and dye
maker and an engineer.

Snider asked what action the board
wanted to take about the matter. Hyatt
said he was “not making a motion, just
recommendation.”
Silence reigned.
Finally Snider said he would get with
the committee chairmen and “see how
they feel.”
When asked if the news media could
have copies of the hospital's financial
report which is given to board members
monthly, Board Atty. Clifford Seay said
he would have to look into the matter
before deciding.
All patients insured by Blue Cross-
Blue Shield must have their ad

the same as Medicare and Medicaid
patients, according to Dr. Smith.

In the early 40’s Phillips worked for
McGraw Electric Company building
artillery shells for World War 11.
Following the war and because
Phillips was into machinery, he took a
job with the Carborandum Company as
an abrasives engineer. The company
made grinding wheels and other
machinery.
Doing well at the job, Phillips later
took a job with Frick and Lindsey
distributing Carborandum machinery.
In 1950 Phillips went into business for
himself distributing tools and
machinery as well as managing his own
tool shop where he employed a 40-man
work force.
It was in 1962 that Phillips became
involved with the O-Dome house
business out of Plymouth, Mich.
He decided to construct the domes in
1973 in Pike County as a result of the
affliation with the O-Dome Company.
Still in the tool business, Phillips
became an international sales agent for
the Chori Company of Japan, the 10th
largest in the business. He was charged
with selling machinery and setting up
dealerships in the United States and in
other countries.
In 1972 there was an accident which
resluted in whiplash which slowed
Phillips a bit.
In 1973 he came to this area.

If the hospital does not comply, it will
not be paid. If Blue Cross refused to pay
the hospital, the patient would be

Dr. Tom Floyd who retired this
month had donated his medical books to
the hospital library.
The board approved a resolution
expressing appreciation to him for his
many years of service to the com
munity and for the books.
Griffin is getting a new doctor.
Dr. James 0. Day will be joining the
practice of Drs. Reynolds, Berry,
Grayson and Hall on Aug. 1. His
membership on the hospital medical
staff with privileges in internal
medicine was approved by the board,
subject to medical staff approval.
then, he said.
A staff of workers will be
hired by Sept. 1 and after
training the program should be
in operation by Oct. 1.
Under the program 2 trained
counselors for alcoholics will be
added to each shift at the
Griffin-Spalding Hospital
emergency room. A staff of 3
will be on hand during peak
periods when more people are
expected to be under the in
fluence.
Under the program, when a
police officer sees a drunk ort

him under arrest, he can offer
to take him to the center or
emergency room. If the drunk
refuses, the officer can take him
home-. And if he refuses that, the
officer can place him under
protective custody and keep
him in jail for up to 12 hours.
The person will not be
charged with any offense,
unless he is guilty of some
crime.
According to Scott, 25 states
have implemented the
program. Griffin is the first city
in Georgia to do so.
The commissioners were
Pike County with such a varied
background?
“A man has to have the deter
mination to want to do and to want to
accomplish,” said Phillips.
The whiplash accident opened up
avenues of endeavors rather than
closed them for Phillips.
The latest Phillips endeavor deals
with acupuncture without needles,
rather acu-massage.
As a result of his working with the
Japanese Company, Chori, Phillips had
many opportunities to go to Japan.
It was there he obtained relief from
arthritis and severe whiplash by the
Japanese version of acupuncture,
Shiatsu , which uses finger pressure on
the meridian point to rejuvenate and
send messages to the organs involved in
the problems a person may have.
After much research and thought,
Phillips came up with the idea of a
special tip of rubber on a hand held
battery operated vibrator to stimulate
the meridian points.
Thus, Acu-Massage was patented.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Phillips by no means is quitting. He
has plans to move away from the Pike
County area but not until he has helped
the industrial development of the area.
He sees the South as wide open for
new industries and would like to use his
former business acquaintances to bring
them to the area.
Dr. Day is 28. He was bom in
Milledgeville and attended Wilkinson
County Public Schools. He attended
Middle Georgia College and received a
B. S. Degree from the University of
Georgia. He received his doctor of
medicine degree from the Medical
College of Georgia and interned at the
University of Arkansas Medical Cen
tral in Little Rock. His residence was at
the University of Arkansas Medical
Center in Little Rock.
His wife is the former Hannah
Barber.
The board members received a new

being given all patients when they enter

arrangements to his room and hospital

concerned about who would pay
the emergency room fees if the
drunks refuse to ante up
themselves. The city will not be
responsible, the commissioners
agreed.
The city is expected to lose
some $16,000 in fines and also
would not have the labor force
of prisoners who are serving
time in the city jail for
drunkenness.
Commissioner Dick Mullins
said it was “bewildering" to
him that 2 people would be
sitting around in the hospital
emergency room waiting for a
drunk to come in.
“We haven’t lost a drunk out
there yet,” he remarked.
Scott said the hospital ad
ministration was enthusiastic
about more staff members
being provided in the
emergency room. He said he
will keep records on those
counseled and the results.

AMTRAK
stop here
explored
The Chamber of Commerce
directors Monday voted to
request city and county com
missioners to look into a
possible AMTRAK train stop in
Griffin.
Chamber officials received
word that train schedules under
AMTRAK were being reviewed
and it’s possible one might be
designated for Griffin.
Mayor Raymond Head of
Griffin and Chairman P. W.
Hamil of the Spalding Com
missioners were at the directors
meeting.
Mayor Head said he knew of
the proposals and indicated the
city was interested.
In other business, the
Chamber made plans to com
plete a membership drive next
week. Charles Neel is coor
dinating team captains as part
of the effort. He said he hopes
100 new members can be
signed.
Directors appeared distant
about endorsing the publication
of another new city directory.
Noting some bad experiences
with recent publications with
many errors in them, the
directors referred the matter to
the Merchants Steering Com
mittee.
Some directors said they
personally did not think their
individual firms would con
tribute to another directory so
soon after one had been
published just last year.

No letup in heat wave
By The Associated Press
It was so hot.
It was so unmercifully hot Monday
that 19 rugged Marines participating in
war games were overcome and had to
be evacuated by helicopter from the
Mojave Desert to Camp Pendleton in
southern California. The temperature
reached 117 at one point.
It was so hot along the railroad tracks
near Paintsville, Ky., that the rails
expanded and 16 cars of a 110-car
freight train jumped the tracks. No one
was injured. Temperatures had
hovered near 100.
And the nagging heat became more
unbearable as the National Weather
Service announced that in most places,
there would be no letup for most of the
week. The heat reached across the
country from the Atlantic Coast to the
Rockies and into the Southwest desert.
The thermometer reached 107 in Las
Vegas, Nev., and Gila Bend, Ariz. Near
Phoenix it was 112. In New York it was
an 11-year record 100. In Roanoke, Va.,
it reached 102, another record.
Air conditioning was turned up all
over the country. Power companies in
Pennsylvania and Minnesota asked
customers to cut back on using elec
trical appliances. There were spot out
ages or cutbacks in Massachusetts and
New York City, where a 25-hour
blackout caused so much trouble last
week.
A minor traffic accident turned into a
three-hour tieup on a Massachusetts
highway when 150 cars waiting for a

truck to be towed away overheated and
stfiUed*
Poultry farmers in Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts
reported thousands of chickens had
died because of the heat.
Forest fires raged on in Utah,
Wyoming and Montana.
Air pollution hovered over the
nation’s capital and wide areas of
Kentucky, Minnesota, Rhode Island
and Maryland as stagnant air masses
refused to pass on.
Water pressure was down
dangerously low in fire hydrants in
Boston, Philadelphia and New York
and officials tried to distribute hydrant
caps to slow the flow.
What seemed like a break in the
weather for Michigan turned out to be a
lot of trouble. Thunderstorms and
winds were accompanied by funnel
clouds in several areas. Four homes
were damaged but no injuries were
reported when a funnel cloud swept
over the Hillsdale, Mich., area, near the
Ohio border. Funnel clouds also were
sighted near Waterford in northeastern
Michigan and near Windsor, Ontario,
across the border from Detroit. No
damage was reported in any of those
places.
The weather service teased residents
of the sweltering Baltimore area. A
spokesman said a cold front was
moving down the East Coast from New
York to Maryland, but would not touch
down low enough to improve conditions
today.
