Doll house
(Continued from page 1.)
“Gone With The Wind” lamps Mrs.
made with beads. There’s a
marble top dresser and matching
washstand.
The other bedroom has a poster bed
with a matching Cluny lace tester cover
and bedspread.
The third floor bedroom has a brass
bed and more informal type furniture.
A bookcase is filled with tiny books and
toys. A teddy bear about 3 inches tall
rocks in a chair. (He’s one of the little
things Mrs. I-angford saved from her
childhood.) The mother is em
broidering nearby.
In the adjoining playroom, the
daughter practices her piano lessons
while the son plays with a train on the
floor.
One of the dolls in the house which
doesn’t belong to the family (Mrs.
I .an gs ord just put it there), is a 2-inch
china baby doll which Mrs.
took with her on her first day of school.
That was more than 60 years ago when
she attended Miss Myrtice Bailey’s
half-grade in the old Sam Bailey
Building on the Griffin High campus.
Nowadays the half grade is called
kindergarten, Mrs. Langford ex
plained.
Mrs. Langford’s second chance
began in 1975 when her late husband,
former city manager Jack Langford,
C.E.Wright honored as teacher
C. E. Wright, an employee of
Thomaston Mills, Griffin, was
named Georgia “Outstanding
Textile Vocational Teacher for
1976-77” at the 34th Annual

ordered the kit house from a mail order
firm. It took him about 3 weeks to put it
together but Mrs. Langford’s been
working on it ever since.
Even though most of the furniture
was purchased, there are many in
novative details which show the time
and patience of their owner.
Mrs. Langford has always liked and
saved little things. Now she’s putting
them to good use.
In addition to the doll house, she has a
Shaker room, complete with a rope bed,
Shaker cupboard and table set with
wooden plates. There are short chairs
which can be hung in Shaker style on
the wall. A black Shaker hat and coat
hangs from a Shaker coat rack.
Mrs. Langford’s love of dolls has
spilled over into her living room where
she has a collection in a large case. It’s
main feature is the last roll Santa
brought her when she was 6 years old. It
is in perfect condition. The collection
also includes Little Women dolls and
china dolls.
Handwork is another project. She’s
almost finished a new winter coat. Her
hand hooked rugs, needlepoint pillows
and ceramics are throughout the house.
As for the doll house, it still takes up a
lot of time. She’s thinking of putting
shingles on the roof.

created in Baxley
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)
— A fulltime antitrust division
has been set up in the office of
Atty. Gen. Bill Baxley with
three attorneys assigned ex
clusively to antitrust matter.
Baxley, in announcing the
creation of the division, said
Friday that antitrust cases will
no longer be handled by assist
ants in his office on a “case by
case” basis.
Instead, the cases will be
handled exclusively by Jerry
Weidler, Tommy Zieman and
Beth Farmer. Weidler has been
on Baxley’s staff for five years;
the other two were recently
added.
Baxley said the division will
give Alabama consumers “re
lief from the stranglehold
monopolies have on them.” He
said “legitimate business" also
will benefit “because com
petition will be assured.”

Smead Manufacturing Company Henry County plant were
held this week.

Subdivision half completed
Homeowners in the half completed Oak Ridge Sub
division near Flippen are protesting the refusal of one
development partner to start work on his portion of the
subdivision’s planned area.
Appearing before the Henry County Commission,
developer R.M. Greer stated his development partner has
erected a fence dividing the two property sections of the

(Continued from page 1.)
starred with Crosby in Crosby’s
favorite movie, “High Society,” said
his friend’s death “is almost more than
I can take. He was the father of my
career, the idol of my youth and a dear
friend of my maturity.”
Crosby made more than a score of
million-selling records, including
“White Christmas,” “Silent Night” and
“When the Blue of the Night Meets the
Gold of the Day,” his radio theme song.
In a recent television interview,
Crosby said all of the proceeds from
sales of “Silent Night” were donated to
charity. He said he did not want private
gain from a religious recording.
It was often said during his recording
heyday in the 1930 s and 1940 s that his
rich, soothing baritone was always
being heard on a radio, phonograph or
jukebox somewhere in the world.
For many years, Crosby was credited
with selling more records than any
singer in history. He was finally
overtaken in the 1950 s by Elvis Presley.
