A committee consisting of
Charlie Smith, James Har
rington, Harold Grindle,
Quincy Holton and Dayton
Allen will lobby in Atlanta
for the representative. A
copy of the congressional
district resolution will be
sent to each member of the
Georgia House and Senate
reapportionment commit
tees.

Researchers Discover
Clue In Arthritis Work
Identification of a sub
stance in the blood of preg
nant women that may be
responsible for im
provement of rheumatoid ar
thritis during pregnancy was
reported at national medical
meetings of the Arthritis
Foundation and its Ameri
can Rheumatism Associa
tion section.
Something in pregnancy
serum is known to suppress
immune reactions in labo
ratory experiments and the
researchers believe they
have a good clue to what that
something is. Dr. Robert H.
Persellin and his associates
in The University of Texas
Health Science Center and
Dr. Robert Rhodes of Cam
bridge, England, identified a
specific protein substance in

She said she was distressed
the party had not been men
tioned in news accounts of a
public hearing on reappor
tionment in Gainesville May
26. In the future, she said, a
special meeting should be
called to take appropriate
action. “I think we missed
the boat. The Republicans
are going to elect that rep
resentative.”
Party Chairman Horace
Trammel took the responsi
bility for the party’s inaction
and immediately appointed
the committee.
Later, Mrs. Marshall
brought up the need to keep
Forsyth County in the ninth
congressional district. She
the blood which may be re
sponsible for what happens
to rheumatoid arthritis dur
ing pregnancy. In about
three quarters of pregnant
women with this disease, it
subsides and apparently
goes away during preg
nancy, but comes back after
delivery.
The researchers said they
are optimistic that when a
pregnancy serum factor is
firmly identified and proved
responsible, it may lead the
way to something that can be
adapted for clinical use. The
hope is that such a substance
would be effective as a new
treatment, to overcome fail
ures in the human immune
system which let rheumatoid
arthritis develop.

James Harrington re
ported on reapportionment.
“As far as its own represen
tative is concerned, Forsyth
County is in good shape,” he
said. One plan under consid
eration involved joining part
of Cherokee County to For
syth County to make a dis
trict large enough.
But, Harrington said, the
most likely candidate for in
clusion in a Forsyth-domi
nated district would be part
of Dawson County.
The big danger for the
county in the reapportion

ing it taken out of the ninth
congressional district. One
proposed plan would put
Cherokee and Forsyth coun
ties in the seventh district,
while another one would put
Forsyth in the fifth district.
“It’s still up in the air,” he
said, and urged every one
present to lobby in the Gen
eral Assembly to keep the
county in the ninth district.
John Nichols reported on
recent changes in the party’s
by-laws. They are:

tee members must be female

Foreign Investors Own
7.8 Million U.S. Acres
Foreign investors reported
owning about 7.8 million
acres or 0.6 percent of U.S.
agricultural land at the end
of 1980. Secretary of Agricul
ture John Block said the 2.2
million-acre increase in
cludes about 1.8 million
acres reported after last
year’s cutoff date.
The total acreage of fore
ign-owned U.S. agricultural
land is too small to measure
the impact on agriculture at
the national level, Secretary
Block said. The actual in
crease during 1980 was about
414,000 acres out of a total
ty’s executive committee.
The original motion was to
name any Democratic gov
ernor, but Manuel Maloof of
DeKalb County suggested
the change after he re
minded the state party com
mittee that Alabama’s
Democratic governor was a
Reagan Democrat, a Demo
crat in name only.
The state party chair
man may now appoint all 12
presidential electors. For
merly, two were appointed
at-large and one was ap
pointed from each congres
sional district. Secretary J.
Lanier Bannister disagreed
with this. He said the official
rationale was to allow the
chairman to pick the most
Hamilton of Cumming.
Amanda Dawn joins a sis
ter, Tonya, 19 months old.

U.S. agricultural area of
about 1.25 billion acres.
Crop, pasture and other
agriculture accounted for 57
percent of all holdings and
acquisitions, forest for 37
percent, and nonagricultural
and unreported use for 6
percent.
In Georgia, land holdings
by foreign investors totaled
325,311, land acquisitions
103,114 acres, and land dispo
sitions 6,478 acres. Among
the States, Maine reported
the largest number of acres

foreign persons.
THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS—WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1981-
well-qualified people. The
actual reason was to allow
him to pack the electors with
people from Atlanta and Sa
vannah. “I think it puts too
much power in the hands of a
little group around Atlanta,”
he said.
In other business, the
party:
Voted to back a bill in
the Georgia General Assem
bly which would allow party
members to check off a dol
lar of their state income
taxes to support the party.
The proposal would be simi
lar to the provision in federal
income tax laws allowing
taxpayers to send a dollar to
finance the presidential
campaigns. Bannister said
the bill would help party
finances considerably.
Decided not to send
money to Atlanta to help in
its search for the killer of
many black children. The
Democrats did agree to ex
press their moral support.
Bannister said Atlanta had
enough money. “They get
more money than they can
spend.... I’m opposed, but if
you want to do it, go ahead
and make the motion. I’m
opposed to sending more
money to the City of Atlanta
when they (the city council)
just raised their own sala
ries.”
Voted to oppose cross
ing party lines in primaries.
Only registered Democrats
should vote in the Demo
cratic primary. Trammel
said he was for party regis
tration in the parimaries pe
riod. No thing else about it.”
Appointed Charlie
Smith to suggest a replace
ment for Louis Echols.
Echols had been the Cum
ming district committee
man, but had dropped out of
the party, Trammel said.
Bannister suggested a
woman might fill his seat.
