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. IS "ANY KIND OF A JOB" ALWAYS GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

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.

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.”
