Booklet On
“"Human Heart”’
In Univ. Library
Damaged hearts today take the
terrifying toll of more than 636,-
000 lives a year in the United
States. At least eight times that
number are forced to change their
ways of life to cater to narrowing
limitations of weakened and dis
eased hearts.
Everyone should know more
about this great killer. With this
end in mind the Federal Security
‘Agency has published a‘ booklet
under the title of “The Human
Heart.,” This booklet is at the li
brary on the main campus of the
University of Georgia, a deposi
tory library for government docu
ments. “The Human Heart” relates
in a simple manner facts about the
heart and heart ailments, research,
and theatment. ‘ T
This booklet may be ordered
from the U, S. Superintendent of
Documents, Washington, D. C. for

PLAYS SHEIK IN “VALENTINO"
By ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) — Be
hind the Screen: Love-making,
1925 style is back and Hollywood’s
gotsit along with television.
Producer Edward Small is still
denying that Eleanor Parker plays
silent film queen Agnes Ayres in
“Valentino,” but in one of ithe pic
ture’s big sequences there’s a love
scene between Eleanor and Tony
Dexter, -as the Oomph. Boy, in a
sneik’s tent. Richard Carlson plays
a pioneer movie director.
“It’s love-making in the 1925
style,” Carlson told me, *“and I
keep yelling instructions at them
and hamming it up.”
The Valentino set is clgsed
tighter than Ft. Knox, with even
the press barred. It’s Carlson’s
idea that Producer Small has
closed the set to help Dexter, a
ringer for Valentino, fill the tough
est assignment in screen history.
He says: ... &
“It’s incredible to watch Dex
ter. He has to be accepted by
every Valentino fan and I believe
he will be.”

Hal Boyle Discusses Classics
That Bored So Many Teachers
BY HAL BOYLE
. NEW YORK— (AP) .— Rarely
does the sun set on a day in which
no one picks a list of the ten most
something or other
If it isn’t the ten canaries with
the most beautiful toenails, its the
ten American brewery wagon
drivers with the handsomest bicus
pids. Or maybe the ten Hollywood
sweater girls it would be most fun
to dunk in a barrel of molasses,
Most of the lists are about as
nonsensical as that.
The Columbia University press
recently came up with a list, how
ever, that touches the memories
of every American who grew up
in the pre-television era. This was
in the days when practically ev
erybody could read — or at least
they pretended to. As the quaint
phrase of that time put it: “There’s
nothing I really like better than
to curl up with a good book.”
} The Columbia University list
named the ten classies “that have
‘bored the most people the most.”
They polled 200 teachers, book
sellers, editors, and librarians.
In case you missed them else
where, here they are: . :
1. Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Pro
gress.” §
2. Melville’s “Moby Dick.”
3. Milton’s “Paradise Lost.”
4. Spencer’s “The Faerie Queen.”
5. Boswell's “The Life of Sam
uel Johnson.”
6. Richardson’s “Pamela.”
7. Eliot’s “Silas Marner.”
8. Scott’'s “Ivanhoe.”
9. Cervanties’ “Don Quixote.”
- 10. Goethe's “Faust.”
What fascinates me about this
list is that it contains a high per
centage of books which many
high school and college students
are required to groan their way
through. If people who make a
living out of reading find these
classics boring, why inflict them
by force on helpless adolescents?
And what interests me further
in the list is that I never read a
single one of the books myself. I
have dipped into a few of them;
I still have a few in my library.
But I never managed to wade all
the way through any, including
“Ivanhoe.” I was a “Lorna Doone”
man myself at the time most
young people read “Ivanhoe.”
1 suppose I should feel ashamed
and ignorant, but I really only
feel lucky — lucky I escaped the
boredom that befell the distin
guished jury that made up the
list of ten.
For there is no particular rea
son_to read a book just because
past scholars have called it a
classic. As Mark Twain said, “A
classic is something that every
body wznts to have read and no-

Meet At Tiffon
TIFTON — Approximately 200
Southeast Georgia 4-H boys and
girls converged on Tifton yester
day, and competetion is expected
to run high as they vie for district
honors in a wide variety of 4-H
projects. It is the annual District
4-H Achievement Meeting, the
fifth in a series of six, one in each
Extension Service district. It ends
on Saturday.
These Southeast district boys
and girls, county winners in their
respective fields, are actompan
ied to Tifton by county and home
demonstration agents. A number
of Extension Service officials are
attending. .
District Extension agents L. R.
Lanier and Miss Lenora Anderson
report = that this is the largest
Achievement Meeting ever held in
their area.
Participants, who will be judged
40 percent on their records and 60
percent on their demonstrations
given at the meeting, have their
sights” trained on state honors.
Winners at Tifton will have a
chance to compete for state titles
at the State 4-H Club Congress in
Atlanta October 10-13.
There’ll be competition in 27
fields, with youngsters from 24
counties taking part.
The final meeting in the series
is scheduled in Carrollton at West
Georgia, College, July 18 to 20.

body wants to read.”
Books, like clothing, should be
tailored to your individual needs.
Prose styles change as do any
other styles. Today I don’t see any
more reason for a high school girl
to be required to read “Silas Mar
ner” than to be ordered to wear
her great grandmother’s bustle.
Real classics are those which
play a real role in your life —
which ventilate your mind, or
give you a new insight into the
world. No generation can live by
a previous generation’s - classics.
You sample what went before, and
take unto yourself the part you
find useful.
But it is pointless to try to
force young people to try to swal
low whole great chunks of the
past. That is why young peo
ple still know the ten command
ments — but you have to club
them into reading “Pilgrim’s Pro
gress.” The commandants were
sét down in a crisper way.

Martha Thompson
Is Appearing
In Barter Theater
ABINGDON, Va — Martha
Thompson, who took her degree in
Fine Arts at the University of
Georgia, is appearing with Robert
Porterfield’s famous Barter Thea
ter of Virginia in Abingdon this
summer.
The State Theater of Virginia
takes its name from the early days
when Mr. Porterfield brought his
“live actors” to Abingdon during
the Depression to “barter theater
for vittles.” The theater opened its
18th summer season here on
June 12.
The attractive blonde Martha is
the daughter of Col. and Mrs. J, V.
Thompson who are now stationed
at Fort Amador, Canal Zone.
After attending high school at
Abiline, Texas, Martha graduated
from the University of Georgia in
1947 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
She appeared in the university's
productions of “Cry Havoe,” “Set
It In Troy,” “Mr. Pim Passes By,” |
“Everyman,” “The Man Who
Came To Dinner,” and “The Glass
Menagepie™ . @ ea wa
She appeared with the U. S. l
Army Special Services at Fort

South Georgia
Power Rates
May Be Reduced
ATLANTA, July 14 — CAP) — |
Unless Georgia Power and Light!
Company can explain away an
nual “savings” of nearly $600,000
it may have to reduce rates to its
customers in 20 South Georgia
counties. - .
The utility disputed at a hearing
before the Georgia Public Service
Commission yesterday that its op
eration costs have declined by any
such figure. The GPSC insisted
that the figure is correct and di
rected the firm’s officials to re
check their books and report back.
The power and light company
has been ordered to show why its |
rates should not be cut and its sav- i
ings passed on to its customers.
The GPSC withheld action .on the
rate cut order pending the re-!
check of the records. !
GPSC chief engineer Knowles'
Davis claimed that reduced whole
sale costs of power has saved thet
utility $210,000 annually and a
drop in the price of fuel oil——'
used to generate power—another}
$382,000—a total of $592,000. {
The commission contended these’|
savings should be passed on to
the consumers in lower rates since
the company in 1948 had been
granted higher rates to cover an |
increase in fuel oil prices. |
Orrin Vogel, a cost analyst for |
Georgia Power and Light and its|
parent company, the Florida Pow- |
er Corporation, assailed Davis’ |
calculation of “savings” as hypo- !
thetical. i
Vogel said he had studied the |
firm’s actual operating records and !
found no such savings. Even if |
the wholesale power and fuel oil |
costs had been less, he maintained, |
the reduction may have bgen more |
than offset by increases in the cost |
of labor, materials and mainten- |
ance. l
But the utility failed to convince l
the cemmission and must come l
back for another round on the rate
cut ic ue. )
