Atlanta Mother Saves
Infant Son But Loses
Own Life By Flames
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 24.—Funer
al services were held Sunday for
a heroic Roswell mother who suf
fered fatal burns Friday when she
chose to carry her infant son to
safety before trying to extinguish
her flaming robe.
The mother, Mrs. Ruby Mae
Gentry, 24, died late Friday at
Grady hospital, from third degree
burns suffered when her chenile
robe was ignited by a spark from
a coal heater as she sat before it
rocking her one-year-old son, Dar
rell on her knee.
According to C. C. Fisher, one of
the first to arrive at Mrs. Gentry’s
home following the accident, her
efforts to carry the baby boy to safe
ty probably cost her her life.
He said she told him when he
arrived that the robe burst into
flame and almost completely en
veloped her before she knew what
was happening. He said she dashed
for a nearby bed and placed her
son upon it before making any ef
fort to put out the fire with a small
basin of water in another room.
"I guess I lost my head. I didn’t
think of trying to get out of the
robe,” he quoted her as saying.

This able decision by Judge Sam
uel Sibley pointed out a way in
which th Democratic party might
restore and retain its white pri
mary.
, “Our love for Southern traditions
and Southern history demanded
legislation of this nature but this
alone does not constitute our de
fense of the white primary. The
| necessity is much deeper and far
i more consequential than mert tra-
j dition and history. Without legisla
tion on this subject the white peo
ple of Georgia would have been
denied their basic right of belong-
! ing to a political party whose prin-
■ ciplts and ideals, rules and regu
lations, were to be dictated by
them, rather than by the forces
i which would destroy the white pri
mary which are so largely center
ed outside the state of Georgia.”
