Georgia surgeons develop mask
to cover scars of facial cancer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Sur
geons at the Medical College of
Georgia have developed a
method of reducing the emo
tional and physical scars left on
patients who undergo oper
ations for facial cancers.
Operations to remove cancers
of the mouth or sinus cavities
can leave patients with dis
torted features and hamper
their ability of speak and eat.

illofacial Services Division,
says about 25 such cancer
patients in Georgia have been
fitted in the last four years with
a surgical appliance called a
prostheses that looks like part
of a mask.
The mask is made from plas
tic and silicone rubber and
glued to the face after being
tinted to match the patients’
complexion. It is designed to be
used in cases when so much
surface tissue and bone has
been destroyed that ordinary
plastic surgery is useless.
Goldman said operations for
cancers of the face are “the
most psychologically devas
tating operations.” Patients
who have had such drastic op
erations often “become total re
cluses and won’t even take off
their bandages in front of fami
ly members. They tend not to go
out of the house, they won’t go
work, won’t go anywhere,” he
said.
But Goldman said the pros
theses he and other members of
his division have applied leave
patients looking virtually as
they did before the operation.
The masks, however, have
several drawbacks.
Goldman explained that they
i cannot be slept in and must be
, removed at least twice a day so
> the skin can rest and “come
back to its normal state.”

Rev. Lowery heads SCLC
ATLANTA (AP) - President
Carter better start doing more
for poor people “or we may
have to pull on our marchin’
shoes again,” shouted the new
leader of the civil rights group
founded 20 years ago by the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The crowd in Ebenezer Bap
tist Church, King’s old church,
stomped and cheered at the
words by the Rev. Joseph Low
ery, whom they had just elected
the third president of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference.
About 150 delegates at the
convention elected Lowery as
president and Atlanta black ac
tivist Hosea Williams as execu
tive director Thursday in a
compromise designed to heal a
split between young militants
and the group’s “old guard.”
Lowery, a black Atlanta min
ister who has been considered
too conservative by some young
militants, ignited the con
vention by crying, “We got a
claim on you, Mr. President.”
Blacks pushed Carter into the
White House, Lowery said,
“and now he’s pushing poor
people onto the back burner.”
The President “has moved in
the right direction but not at a
fast enough pace,” he said.
“We’re going to telephone
you, Mr. Carter. We’re going to
telegraph you and televise you.
And if that don’t reach you, the
tramp, tramp, tramp of our feet
will reach you.”
The SCLC — once at the head
of the civil rights movement —
has been in decline both in in
fluence and money since King
was killed nine years ago.
And Williams said prestige
could be regained only by “re
turning to the streets to protest
and picket for poor people.”
Moments before the election
he said Lowery represented
“the intellectuals, the clergy,”
rather than the marchers.
But after former SCLC Presi
dent Ralph David Abernathy
proposed the compromise to the
convention, Williams stepped to
the church pulpit and emotion
ally seconded the motion “in the
name of unity.”
Then Williams embraced
Abernathy, who was an SCLC
co-founder along with King.
Abernathy shouted, “On to vic
tory.” The delegates and others
in the church clapped and

cheered, and then they began
singing the movement’s an
them, “We Shall Overcome.”
Williams’ supporters said
they were pleased with the
compromise which gives him
the job of day-to-day direction
of the SCLC’s activities. They
pointed out that one of his pred
ecessors in the executive direc
tor’s post was U.N. Ambassador
Andrew Young.

Com process okay asked
ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Department of
Agriculture has asked the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to approve the use of a process that can
inactivate the toxicity of a mold which has affected corn
crops in the state.
Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin said the use of
aqua ammonia at certain temperatures has been shown to
inactivate aflatoxin contamination in corn sufficiently to
meet FDA tolerance levels of 20 parts per billion.
The detoxification process has not been approved for
general use by the FDA but can be approved for
emergency use by the FDA administator, Irvin said.
Jailer allowed inmates to leave
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia Bureau of Investiga
tion probe has revealed that prisoners were allowed by a.
jailer to leave the Clarke County jail unescorted, Sheriff
Larry Williams said Thursday.
Polygraph tests given earUer this week by the GBI
indicated that chief jailer Robert Billups permitted
certain prisoners to leave the jail on weekends, Williams
said.
Although Billups admitted he had allowed the prisoners
to leave, Williams said, Billups “was a good man who just
showed very bad judgment in these incidents.
The GBI reports have been sent to a grand jury, he said.
Former legislator buried
ATLANTA (AP) — Funeral services for Hoke Smith 11,
a former state legislator, were scheduled today at All
Saints Episcopal Church.
Smith died Thursday at the age of 57. He was a member
of the Georgia House of Representatives for six years and
a former Fulton County Civil Court judge.
Smith was the grandson of Hoke Smith Sr., a former
Georgia governor, senator and U.S. Secretary of the
Interior.

then Abernathy held the reins
until he resigned earlier this
year for an unsuccessful cam
paign for Congress.
Lowery, who has been acting
president, is pastor of Central
United Methodist Church in At
lanta.
He has been chairman of the
SCLC board for the past decade.
The delegates chose U.S. Rep.
Walter Fauntroy, D-D.C., to
replace Lowery at the head of
the board of directors.
