$25,000 FlimFlam
Scheme Brings
Arrest of 2 Men
SAVANNAH, Ga„ Dec. 7—An
alleged flim-flam scheme in which
a North Carolina man was cheated
out of $25,000 has brought about
the arrest of two Chatham County
men.
FBI agents arrester Aaron Fine,
45, of Savannah Beach and Joseph
T. Addison Sr., 46, of Savannah
and charged them with defrauding
Ralph Sykes, 37, of Nashville, N. C.
Agents said the two men sold a
bundle of blank paper to Sykes for
$25,000 after telling him the wrapp
ed package contained $100,000 in
bills.
The pair contacted Sykes in Sept
ember and told him they could
change the denominations of the
bills the FBI said.
Sykes was said to have fallen for
the scheme and turned over his
bankroll to the men for the bundle
of paper.
‘Goat Man’, Wife
Finally Get Heat
CHARLESTON, S. C.—The “goat
man" and his wife are going to
have heal this winter for the first
time since they began their lonely
vigil on Big Goat Island off the
South Carolina coast near Charles
ton.
J. L. Cameron, who is develop
ing the island located behind the
Isle of Palms, said Sunday a wood
stove along with pots, pans and
dishes have been donated to Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Hollaway and
enough money was raised to build
the llollaways a small home.
Holloway is 84 and his wife is
somewhat younger. They left the
city about 30 years ago and lived
in almost complete seclusion on the
Isle of Palms before moving to Big
Goat Island to escape the growing
colony of summer resident.
Now Big Goat Island is becom
ing increasingly popular and the
Hollaways are not too pleased with
the number of summer residents.
Many summer residents donated
their remaining food to the elderly
couple before leaving the island at
the end of the season.
"I think they were glad to see
everyone go.” said Cameron.
World Population to
Reach 3 Billion By
End of 1961
WASHINGTON—Italy has 50 mil
lion people. Add one more Italy to
the world and you get a graphic
idea how the earth’s population is
expanding this year.
This approach to what writers
have called the "population explo
sion" was presented this week by
the bulletin of the Population Re
ference Bureau, Inc., a non-profit
infromational service here.
The article, based on United Na
tions figures, said world population
is now over 2.9 billion and will hit
3 billon by the end of 1961.
This was based on an annual
population growth of 1.7 per cent.
The U. N. estimated that 100 mil
lion babies were born in the world
in 1959 and 50 million people died,
leaving a net gain of 50 million.
It took the human race some
200,000 years to reach the present
population of nearly 3 billion. But
the same growth trend would pro
duce over 6 billion people within
40 years, the article said.
The publication also made these
observations, based on statistics of
t’he U. N. demographic yearbook
for 1959.
During 1959, Latin America pull
ed ahead of North America in pop-
lation, with 201 million p^r'c com
pared with 197 million for North
America.
The world’s ten largest countries
In order are: mainland China,
nearly 700 million: India. 403 mil
lion; Russia 210 million: the Unit
ed States, 178 million; Japan, 93
million; Pakistan and Indonesia 80-
90 million each; Brazil 64 million;
and West Germany and Britain,
more than 50 million each.
Latin America is growing faster
than any other major area. Western
Europe has the slowest growth.
Santa Claus
Smallest City
In Georgia
Atlanta, of course, is the states's
largest city. With a population of
487,455, Atlanta is more than three
times the size of Savannah. (The
metropolitan five-county area is
credited with a million population).
Santa Claus, Ga., according to
census officials, is the state’s
smallest incorporated city, with a
population of 5. Next smallest was
Braswell, with 14. Population of un
incorporated cities smaller than
1,000 was not given.
Columbus, which has grown ra
pidly in the past decade, is still the
state’s third largest city with 116,-
779 people. This reflected a rise of
35,00.
Next three largest cities, in order
are Augusta, 70,626; Macon, 69,764
and Albany 55,890.
East Point, with 35,633 people
took over as the No. 7 city, sup
planting Rome, which was eighth
with 32,226.
Athens slipped a notch from eigh
th to ninth with a population of
31,355, while Valdosta remained
10th with 30,652.
The only newcomer in the top
10 Georgia cities in size is East
Point, according to census officials.
Marietto, which was ninth 10 years
ago, dropped out of the top 10.

AUGUSTA, Ga.—President Eisen
hower’s vacation headquarters was
picketed for the first time Saturday
by some 60 Negro college students
protesting against segregation.
Eisenhower did not see the pick
ets and was not informed of their
activity.
A sign carried by one teen-age
girl questioned the president’s in
terest in civil rights matters. It
read:
"Lincoln — Emancipation!... Ike—
Civil Right?”
The students demonstrated Sat
urday outside the Augusta National |
golf club after conducting sit-in
demonstrations late Friday at three
downtown variety stores. Two of
the stores closed their lunch count
ers and a third refused to serve the
Negroes.
The president was unaware of
their presence, according to White
House News Secretary James C.
Hagerty.
Asked to comment on the 75-min-
utc demonstration by sign-carrying
pickets, Hagerty replied:

Adel Man’s Body
Found; Murder Hinted
Cecil, Ga. — Two men out look
ing for a Christmas tree on a
roadside near Cecil Sunday found
the body of a man.
Cook County Sheriff-elect D. J.
Connell identified the man as L.
T. Clanton, 50, of Adel. “It looks
like murdei,” Connell said.
The body was found by two un
identified white men who were
preparing to enter the woods to
search for Christmas trees. Con
nell and GBI Agent Hugh Smith
said Clanton had been hit in the
head with what appeared to be a
blunt instrument.
The officers said Clantcn’s per
sonal effects were missing. They
added that leaves under the body
were dry and theorized that the
slaying occurred before a heavy
rain Sunay morning.
Investigators said Clanton was
a construction worker and had
been employed in construction of
Interstate Highway.75.
Cecil is in Cook county 17 miles
North of Valdosta.

Textile Chemistry
Degree at Offered
At Georgia Tech
Students who want to combine a
scientific education with prepara
tion for an interesting and reward
ing career should investigate the
new textile chemistry degree now
offered at Ga. Tech.
This is the advice of Harold S.
Gates, Superintendent of the Taylor
Mill, Bibb Manufacturing Co., and
Chairman of the Textile Education
Foundation’^ enrollment program
in Taylor and surrounding coun
ties. .
The degree of Bachelor of Tex
tile Chemistry was first offered by
Tech’s A. French Textile School
.his spring, said Mr. Gates. It is
specifically designed to give the
student a thorough chemistry back
ground that he can apply in an in
dustry which is growing rapidly
in its dependence on this branch
of science.
Mr. Gates pointed out that the
success of the man-made fibers
and the development of new fin-
ish ng processes for cotton and
wool would not have been possible
without the efforts and ingenuity
cf trained chemists.
“The surface has hardly been
scratched in this field,’’ he said.
“Every new fiber and blend of
fibers present a challenge to th
textile industry’s skills, methods
Dr. Finch Seeks to
Void Murder Charges
Los Angeles, Calif. — Dr. R. B.
Finch has won the right to ar
gue motions seeking his freedom
from charges of murdering his
wife on grounds a third trial
would place him in double jeopar
dy.
Superior Judge Leroy Dawson
set Friday to argue the motions.
Under the law, a defendant can
not be placed under threat twice
on the same charge. The once-
wealthy surgeon's attorneys based
their motion on the fact that the
jury in his second trial voted to
convict him but was unable to de
cide on the degree of his alleged
guilt.
and materials in the fields of dye
ing, bleaching, printing and other
finishing processes.”
Mr. Gates said the Textile Edu
cation Foundation will give five
4-year scholarships to the A.
French Textile School for fresh
men who will enroll next fall.The
scholarships have a total value of
$2400 each and any Ga. High
school graduate qualified for ad
mission to Ga. Tech can apply.
He invited all interested stu
dents, parents and teachers to get
in touch with him for further in
formation and scholarship appli
cation forms.
A. L. FAULKNER ’
The action was taken at the Fed
eration’s 44th annual convention in
New Orleans, which was attended
by 1,400 delegates from throughout
the nation.
The Federation represents over
500,000 farm families living in 49 of
the 50 states. Alaska is the only
exception.
As President of Miss Georgia
Dairies, Mr. Faulkner guides the
operations of one of the largest
dairy cooperatives in the South
east. Many dairy farmers in this
area are members of the Miss
Georgia organization.

March of Dimes Aids Child Polio Victim;
She Dedicates Herself to. Helping Blind
At one despairing point
during Mary Jo Phillips’
seven-year confinement in
a hospital near Boston, and
while she was an iron-lung
prisoner of polio, a nurs
ing nun read aloud to the
frightened little girl these
words of the tormented
Job:
“I was eyes to the blind.”
Mary Jo, herself tormented
after seven operations and three
months in an iron lung, never
forgot Job's words. At Ken
nedy Memorial Hospital, Bright
on, a nun and physical thera
pist suggested that since the
plight of the blind touched
Mary Jo deeply, she might
want to try her hand at tran
scribing Braille.
Nothing interested her more.
Mary Jo’s fascination with
learning to write for the sight
less was healthy in two ways.
Physically, the manual effort
of applying the Braille awl to
the fiberboard strengthened her
thin arms and fingers once
paralyzed by polio. And spiri
tually, this labor of love for
those even more terribly af
flicted than she, expressed her
gratitude to God at surviving
her own ordeal.
The first words Mary Jo
wrote in Braille, for the blind
to read through their finger
tips, were those of the unhap
py Job. (The Old Testament
patriarch was reminding the
Lord of his own succor to those
whose eyes had failed.)
Mary jo, who is 14 and has
spent half of those years in
hospitals, now is home with
her overjoyed parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George Phillips of Whit
man, Mass. In her wheel chair,
the child continues her plucky
fight today against the ravages
of bulbar polio.
With $32,000 in March of
Dimes contributions, The Na
tional Foundation has brought
Mary Jo along to the point
where she can type slowly,
write, paint water colors, dress
herself “with just a little help,”
and even walk a few steps sup
ported by her crutches.
But above all, the little girl
is devoted to her labors with
Braille. When she completes
the “bible” that is never far
from her, “Standard English
Using special awl for writing in Braille, Mary Jo Phillips
punches out text on flberboard.
WAS -EYES TO THE. BLIND
Mary Jo's first line of Braille, written for the blind during
her seven-year hospital stay, fighting polio.
Braille in 20 Lessons” (she
sleeps with it under her pil
low), Mary Jo is planning to
transcribe fairy tales and
Mother Goose rhymes into the
pointed-dot vocabulary of those
who live in darkness.
When four years hence her
home instructor gives Mary Jo
her high school diploma, she
plans thereafter to study the
teaching of Braille to blind
children. That will be Mary
Jo’s inspiring career, a lifetime
of serving selflessly as “eyes
to the blind.”
