(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.

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.” K*r X M Until Saturdoy SWw’ n| y Data from ww Showers Stationary Occluded NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, —— — NOAA, U.S. Dept, of Commerce FORECAST FOR GRIFFIN AREA—Cloudy with chance of showers tonight and lows in the upper 60s.

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 i i i Unbelievable Offer pgA | ; fll Colonial Fried Chicken §|| * 1 I 3 Days Only I ' <=S Friday, Saturday, Sunday < > S BUY 7« CHICKEN DINNER I |Eg !FS ea ea Get Second (For Only) • * 1 AAA ISg REG.

They pointed out that one of his pred ecessors in the executive direc tor’s post was U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young. King was president of the group until his death in 1968, ■[7IBBBBI 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. — Griffin Daily News Friday, August 19,1977 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. Country store burns NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) - Fire destroyed the old Powers’ Crossroads country store on Georgia 34 today.
