J. H. STANFORD, Pastor.
Announcement was made in At
lanta Saturday that Congressman
Stephen Pace of this district, and
Dr. Paul Chapman, of Athens,
have been honored with "Man of
1he Year” awards from the Pro
gressive Farmer.
Dr. Chapman, dean of the College
of Agriculture, University of Geor
gia, has been selected as “Man of
the Year for distinguished service
to Southern agriculture.” He was
designated as “Man of the Year” in
Georgia in 1939.
The magazine says Dean Chap
man’s contribution to the progress
of the rural South has grown year
by year.
“In the years before Pearl Harbor
he was a leader in the “balanced
prosperity” program sponsored by
| governors of the Southern states
| and supported by leaders in every
field of Southern activity. Since
early 1945 he has, we believe, done
more than any other individual to
awaken every section of the South
to its opportunities for growth
through more rural industries, and
in leading our people to grasp
those opportunities.”
The Progressive Farmer cites
Dean Chapman for “contributing
personally to the growth of rural
industries in nearly every state in
the Southeast. It lists the nu
merous commissions he has served
as a member in furthering the ad
vancement of the South. Dean
Chapman is the second Georgia
man to be selected as man of the
year in the South. Dr. Charles
Herty won it in 1940.
Dean Chapman has served in his
’present capacity for 13 years but

Source of Rare
Malady At Robins Field
Is Being Sought
Macon, Dec. 30—Two cases cf
rare leukemia at Robins Field, one
of them fatal, Tuesday sent offic
ers and physicians searching for
any possible radioactive material
which might have been the source
of the malady.
The officials became alarmed
when it was suggested that the
men may have become afflicted as
the result of having worked on a
plane believed to have taken part
in the Bikini atomic bomb test.
However, despite a thorough sur
vey of the field, they have been
unable to find any trace of radio
active substances, Col. R. F. Ignico
