LOS ANGELES—Mickey Rooney and Bonita Granville look at a photo of them taken thirty
years ago in 1947 when they co-stared in “Love Laughs At Andy Hardy.” Today Miss
Granville is the producer of a film, “Lassie, My Lassie,” that will co-star Mickey Rooney
and Jimmy Stewart; and that famed canine collie. (AP)
Dismissal of Taylor
called heavy handed
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia
Power Co. fired an employe be
cause he said the names of op
ponents of the utility’s rate in
crease requests were kept in its
security files, says former state
Rep. Larry Thomason.
Thomason charged Wednes
day that John Taylor was fired
solely because he gave a depos
ition in which he said he had
seen the names of Thomason
and other Georgia Power oppo
nents on indexed cards, but that

he never saw a file with
Thomason’s name on it.
Thomason called Taylor’s
dismissal “a heavy-handed
tactic” by the utility “to silence
anyone who’s honest, decent
and courageous enough to tell
the truth.”
But a company spokesman
said the Marietta man was dis
missed from his job as a secur
ity investigator because he
lacked “enthusiam and inter-
est” and because information in
the deposition “compromised
security personnel and oper
ations.” He said Taylor’s de
position exposed utility workers
to “possible criminal acts” be
cause it listed their names,
telephone numbers and jobs.
The spokesman, George Ed
wards, said Taylor was fired
Tuesday and ordered to leave
his office at Georgia Power’s
offices in Forest Park.
Georgia Power last month
admitted keeping files on
groups and individuals it con
sidered a threat to its equip
ment or employes, but said no
files were kept on others. Ed
wards said the company’s pub
lic relations department — not
its security office — keeps
newspaper clippings on promi
nent opponents.
Taylor, whose deposition was
given to the state Public Service
Commission last week by a
lawyer representing Thomason,
claimed that he was fired for
failing to condone or suppress
information on “immoral, une
thical and illegal activities.”
ABC’s of the eye
Human eye not best in Animal Kingdom
The human eye is not the
best of all possible eyes in the
Animal Kingdom, says the
American Association of
Ophthalmology.
It does not see as far as the
eagle’s nor see as well in the
dark as the owl’s nor as well
in water as a fish’s. But it is
one of the most versatile eyes
nature has ever made. It sees
stereoscopic, 3-D color mov
ing pictures from one side of
you to the other. It adapts to
a very wide range of darkness
and brightness, and it can
keep objects in focus, though
they change distance.
The human eye is essential
ly a light-proof globe with a
window at the front. Light is
gathered by a living crystal
dome, the cornea, which ar
ches over a space containing
a watery liquid (aqueous) cir
culating below it.
The cornea concentrates
light from the world outside
into the crystalline lens that
covers the opening of the

dark chamber of the eye. The
purpose of the lens is to
focus light rays so as to cast a
sharp image on the retina at
the back of the interior of the
eye. A ring of circular and
radiating muscle fibers ma
nipulate the lens, changing
its shape. The lens is pulled
flat to bring close objects im
to focus.
Images fall on the paper
thin retina, which lines the
back two-thirds of the inner
surface of the eye. The light
image stimulates the retina’s
127 million rods and cones,
which send tiny electrical sig
nals to the brain, where im
ages are received and inter
preted.
Electrochemical mecha
nisms in the retina allow it to
adapt to over 100,000-fold
brightness-to-darkness light
intensities. Some of this is
due to the detection of bright
light by the cones and of dim
light by the rods. Also, each
of these microscopic struc-

tures has internal adjust
ments, as well.
In front of the lens is that
magic ring of muscle by
which we tell a person’s eye
color, the iris. This iris is a

center, the pupil. The pupil

Only two and a half centi

is a miracle of miniaturiza
tion which accomplishes far
more than any television

Complex networks of blood

electrochemical needs. In ad

through the optic nerve to
the brain, where the sense of
sight actually occurs.
