Topless Bathing Suits
And Swimming Lore
By Trailer Lawson
Readers of this column have
only to ask most any man 60
years of age or over ' who was
born and raised in rural area 6
to confirm that small boys of
his time knew very little or no
thing at all about bathing suits.
The usual custom of providing
swimming facilities, particular
ly throughout the south, was to
find what was referred to as a
“wash hole” such holes are us
ually found in creeks that have
been washed out to sufficient de
pth and long enough by a pre
vious spring floods. In communi
ties where no creeks were avail
able, boys would build dams ac
ross streams or branches, cre
ating small lakes not much lar
ger than a bath tub.
Very seldom, if ever, while
immersing themselves in the wa
ter did they use the modern
term “swimming.” Almost in
varibly they said, “going in a
washing.”
It was when a young man be
gan dating the opposite sex, in
social activities (with a mixed
■swimming party thrown in oc
casionally) that he fully realized
that there was such a thing as
a bathing suit either bottomless
or topless. Nor was swimming
exclusively reserved for boys a
lone; women also participated in
this world wide sport.
Shortly before the turn of the
century, bathing suits reached
the peak in styles: the trend w'as
to cover as much of the body
as possible, especially for wo
men. Fashion designers contin
ued to add extra material here
and there until they had produc
ed the all - concealing, non -
revealing outfit that left much
to the imagination and very lit
tle to view.
Just in passing it might be
noted here: If knee length, bal
loon type bloomers, just one part
of the lady’s suit, had been of
the same material and could have
been inflated dike emergency
life rafts carried by aircraft
crews for use when they were
forced to abandon ship and bail
out over oceans) they would have
had almost equal buoyancy to
that of th,e life raft and would
have saved many lives.
The pendulum is, however,
swinging in the opposite direc
tion and much faster within the

County, driving many miles to and from work daily. Our County is

past few decades. Parts and pie
ces of bathing suits for both
men and women have reduced
in size. Some such as the big
balloon bloomers and the skirt
over them are almost to. the van
ishing point. In the present day
the bikini is just about all that
remains of the bathing suit.
There is so much'to be seen that
there is hardly enough left to tax
the imagination.
The following story could eas
ily have taken place in most any
of our larger cities: however, it
was reported to have occurred
at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
Recently during a lunch hour
recess period, a group of stu
dents, congregated in one of the
dormitory rooms, were engaged
in the age old past time com
monly referred to as a bull ses
sion. Suddenly the door flys open,
in rushes a highly excited stu
dent who says “What do you
know fellows.' I just saw a naked
woman riding a horse down
Peachtree Street.” With that,
another student jumps to his feet
with the speed of a rocket say
ing, “Conte on fellows, let's go
downtown, I haven’t seen a horse
in the past twenty years.” With
that they all make a grand dash
to go downtown to see the horse.
Who can say, but that in the
not - too - distant future horses
may be far more scarce than a
nude female.
Just a word of warning to
those who are subjected to sud
den shock: It is advisable to
avoid all public swimming areas,
beaches, pools and the like to
avoid a severe attack with deter
mental effects. Medical men
have not forgotten people with
weak heart conditions. It is st
rongly recommended for these
folks to go into seclusion and re
main there in order to avoid an
incident that might lead to a fat
al attack.
LONG EGGS
LONDON OJPI) - The Brit
ish egg marketing board said
today housewives may soon be
able to buy 12 inch long hard
boiled eggs.
Under a process worked on
for the past five years, about
eight egg yolks would be tak
en from eggs, hard-boiled and
then inserted again into the
separately hard-boiled white.

Bard Speaks for Our Time
BY RALPH W. LOEW, D.D.
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
A recent trip’ to Stratford in
Ontario underscores the endur
ing miracle of Shakespeare. In a
time when the problems of the
aging constitute political and so
cial controversy and the dealing
with suffering adds new accents
to an ancient question, the trag
edy of Lear speaks with rele
vance. After 400 years, this play,
with its Gothic proportions, pro
vides the area for discussion,
dramatizing the ancient and ever
present problem. The characters
are boldly etched, unrelentingly
marching toward their destiny
with only Lear finding a trans
forming and redeeming quality.
In our own time such artists
as the late Albert Camus, or the
Korean author Kim, or the.
motion picture producer Berg
man restate these themes. Most
of us find them harsh; for we
have been accustomed to the
ELECT
happy ending.
Somehow, the hero of the West
ern drama needs to ride trium
phant into the sunset while the
villain languishes in exile or in
jail. Yet every day renews the
tragedy.
A man gives his life in a
great idealism and loses his
life. A citizen, filled with talent
and ability, becomes his own
own light. Generations stand
opposed to each other, each un
willing to understand or com
municate.
So the tragedies of jealousy,
ambition, ingratitude and pre
judice are spun out. This writing
is “of imagination all compact.”
We need to take these long,
hard looks at life. There are en
ormous problems of life and de
ath, illness and health, happiness
and despair. Such questions we
duck and dodge. All too often we
leave them unanswered, and
find no faith to sustain us in the
time of doubts.

could lend support to the pro

Once these groups can be or

suggested that at this meeting
all the problem areas should
be categorized such as drop-outs,

FORSYTH COUNTY
To the Superior Court of For
syth County:
The petition of CJI. Raines,
Ruth Raines, and 8.8. Robert
son, hereinafter called petition
ers, respectfully shows:
1.
Petitioners desire for them
selves, their associates and suc
cessors to be incorporated under
the name of “Gainesville Indus
trial Electric Co.”
Grady Vandiviere as Judge of the
Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BLUE RIDGE JUDICIAL CIRCUIT:
It may be considered a worthy ambition of any lawyer to aspire to the honorable position of Judge of the
Superior Court and I certainly have such aspirations. I feel that despite such ambition no lawyer should desire
or acept the judgeship, unless by training and experience he feels qualified.
This office has remained a challenge to me since voluntarily leaving the office of Solicitor-General of this
circuit after serving as your chief prosecuting officer for 20 years. Until now other commitments have prevent
ed my offering for this office. At this time I announce that I am a Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court
for the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit subject to the Democratic primary September 9, 1964.
This decision to offer, at this time as such candid ate, is my own and I unequivocally state now, as always
in the past, that I am not committed and I will not commit myself to any selfish group or individuals. But I
pledge to every person equal justice under the law, as I, with God's help, understand and interpret the law.
Every person, regardless of his position in life, wealth or the lack of same, will receive an equal audience
and my sympathetic attention.
I was born in Dawson County, Georgia where my father practiced law for approximately 60 years. Finish
ed School at North Georgia College; was admitted to fhe bar by examination prior to my graduation from the
Atlanta Law School. In 1921 I began the practice of law in Canton, Georgia and have continued in the general
law practice to the present time. During my practice of law I have had experience as a practicing attorney in
practically every branch of the law. I served in the General Assembly of Georgia from Cherokee County 1927-
1928, and represented the 39th Senatorial District in the State Senate 1929-1930. I was elected Solicitor General
of the Blue Ridge Circuit in 1932 and served as such for 20 years. During 16 years of this time Cobb County
was a part of the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit.
In addition to the general practice of law I was appointed Solicitor-General Emeritus, which position I
asked to be suspended upon my qualifying as a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. I am a member of
the American Bar Association; the Georgia Bar Associati on, serving twelve years as a member of the Board of
Governors from the Blue Ridge Circuit; Blue Ridge Bar Association; Cobb County Bar Association I am married
and live with my wife in Canton, Georgia and have one daughter and three grand daughters.
My health is excellent and I am as fully active in the general law practice and in other matters as I have
ever been and I consider my age and experience as an asset and more fully qualifies me to act as Judqo of
the Superior Court. If the good people of the Blue Ridge Circuit should honor me with the judgeship I feel
that I am capable of rendering the energetic dedicated serv ic e the circuit deserves and has a right to ex
pect of a Judge of the Superior Court. I feel that I know the people of the Blue Ridqe Circuit and know their
interest, desires and needs. I would like to personally contact each and every person prior to the Primary on
September 9, next. However, time will not afford this opportunity, but I personally and respectfully seek
Idmin'istraroU’ rf* aS t SUra " Ce fr ° m m ®' whe " elected your Judge ' you will receive a fair, impartial and honest
If elected, it would be my purpose to make myself available to the lawyers and to the public at all reason
able hours, letting it be generally known when and whe re I can be located for rendering the needed services
to the bar and to the people, giving special consideration to the convenience of the jurors and the public in
disposing of business at regular terms of court as well as motions to be heard before the judge P
In determining his choice, the voter should be interested in the background, and especially the record of
public service of the candidate. My record is an open book and is available for inspection by every voter in the
circuit. I also feel that the voters are capable of judging my personal character for honesty and decency es
well as my sense of justice and my high respect for the judgeship. It is on the basis of thL
that I respectfully ask your vote and influence. these «"*Weratlon»
