UGA professor discovers
secret of making kaolin
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A Uni
versity of Georgia geologist has
hit pay dirt in his laboratory.
Dr. Vernon Hurst has devel
oped a technique which he says
will vastly increase the produc
tion of kaolin, Georgia’s “white
gold” which has been used for
centuries in producing porce
lain and as a pigment for white
paper. The geology professor
also has found away to convert
fly ash from waste to an in
gredient in several products.
Production of kaolin is a high
technology industry in Georgia,
which has large reserves of the
white clay-like substance.
Hurst said he has found that
by modifying kaolin’s viscosity,
“large tonnages of it that pre
viously were not usable can be
used.

portentous rumblings in the

“Getting it into production
will mean more money, more
jobs, more taxes — and contin
uation of the industry,” said
Hurst, a kaolin researcher since
1962.
Fly ash, currently unusable
waste from coal-generating
power plants, can be recycled
into five profit-making prod
ucts, Hurst said.
“Power companies have tried
to give fly ash away just to get
rid of it,” he said. “Now it is a
material that can mean a real
profit.”
By separating the particles of
unburned coal, he said, the fly
ash can be converted into an
insulation product, metallic
iron, unburned carbon, a pesti
cide carrier and pozzolan, an
ingredient of cement.
Stardom
Cynthia Morris appears on daytime soap opera
BY JAN SAVAGE
STOCKBRIDGE, Ga.
Cynthia Virginia Morris of StocKonage has made
three appearances on one of television’s most
successful daytime soap operas since her arrival in
California four months ago. ?
Leaving her Stockbridge home in May to make a
career in the theatrical world, Cynthia was soon
cast as a pregnant girl at the Sherman Home for
Unwed Mothers on the serial “Days of Our Lives”.
Mr. and Mrs. Percy Morris moved to Stockbridge
with their two children, Cynthia and Percy, Jr.,
twelve years ago. The children were enrolled in the
Stockbridge school system.
A 1971 graduate of Stockbridge High School,
Cynthia attended the University of Montevallo in
Alabama for two years, before transferring to New
York University.
Returning home from New York, Cynthia worked
in Atlanta temporarily as a stewardess for Delta
Airlines, “but she wanted to go into the theatrical
world so she went to California,” Mrs. Morris said
picking up the telephone receiver.
Mrs. Morris dialed Cynthia at her Claifomia
open daily 10-10, Sunday 1-6 WED., THURS., FRI., SAT.

home. When asked how she managed to get a part
on “Days of Our Lives”, Cynthia said, “I had an
interview with the producer, Jack Herzberg, and
he offered me a part of a pregnant girl.”
“I have been called back since then and played the
part of a girl browsing at an art gallery, which will
be televised soon,” she added. "The producer is now
talking about giving me something more stable on
the show, perhaps on a daily basis.”
Other than acting, Cynthia also does some office
work “to make ends meet”. The tone of her voice
told anyone who listened that she was content Eind
enthusiastic about her work.
“Acting is a gift given to me from God and nothing
else makes me happy. Any member of my family
will tell you that I am irritable and hard to be
around when I am not acting,” she laughed. “I can
let out my emotions when acting, but otherwise I get
bogged down with my feelings,” the young lady
continued.
Cynthia is presently taking acting classes with Cal
Wilson, an actor starring in the feature film “Disco,
9,000” to be released in the next few weeks.
“I will soon be interviewing for a film in London
Griffin Daily News Wednesday, September 28,1977
Page 15
about the riot in South Africa,” Cynthia said. The
film is to be produced by Primrose Studios in Great
Britain.
The excitement rose in her voice as she said, “I
enjoy performing in front of people, even if it’s just
at family gatherings.”
During her high school years, Cynthia took
modem dance, piano lessons, and played the clarinet
and B flat clarinet in the Stockbridge High band.
At the Alabama college, she became interested in
oral interpretations of poetry and prose and began
approaching her acting career seriously.
• During her sophomore year at the University of
Montevallo, Cynthia’s interpretaion of Richard
Wright’s "I Have Seen Black Hands” won her the
1973 National Championship of Oral Interpretation of
Poetry. She also won 12 additional trophies in
interpretation, placing either first or second.
Montevallo professors showed interest in the
talented young lady and encouraged her to pursue a
career in acting. “One professor got me an audition
with a touring company for the play "To Be Young,
Gifted and Black”, but I did not audition because I
was more concerned about my training and craft.”
