An award of merit was present

“The Award of Merit by the
Georgia Safety Commission in rec
ognition of invaluable service ren

State of Georgia.”
Chief Thompson said our com
munity has one of the lowest in
surance rates in the United States,
averaging one fire to each 1,300
persons.
The speaker told some of the
early history of the department,
saying it was organized in 1891
with twelve men and two stations.
A movement was started in 1915
to erect a third station .and this
was finally realized in 1950.
The city's greatest fire was in
1921 with losses running to
$1,000,000 and the Chief expressed
the hope this would never again
happen.
“The Firecracker,” a state pub
lication, in a recent issue gave
prominent space to the fire fight

FAIR WARNING In Berlin
“FLIES” FROM
RED “SPIDER”
AP Newsfeatures
BERLIN—There are a couple of
men on duty in Berlin to keep the
flies away from the spider.
They are West Berlin police
and they stand on Masuren Allee
(boulevard) a few feet away from
Radio Berlin, the crescent-shaped
house that Goebels built, Inside
Radio Berlin are East Germans
and a handful of Russian guards. it
is an island in the British sec
tor granted to the Russians in
the sweet days of 1945.
The West German police look
as though they are on traffic
duty. But their job is more to
handle pedestrian traffic—from
the Soviet zone. Scarcely a week
goes by without some resident
of the Russian zone wandering
into West Berlin to talk to the
people who pump western ideas
into his radio set. He knows the
broadcasts come from the west
and from Berlin, but that's all
he knows, except that he agrees
with them.
If he enters Radio Berlin and
says he heard the U. 8. Radio
“RIAS™ or the west German
“Nordwestdeutsche Rundfunk,”
his goose is cooked. Many have
been reported to have done just
that and wound up back in the
Russian zone, in a concentration
camp.
The west Berlin police on duty
near Radio Berlin have been in-
ery. Beside the cake, in a silver
platter, were numerous messages
and greetings from friends who
were unable to attend; many gifts
were also placed by the cake.
Rev. Billips, who has lived in
Athens for the past forty-five
years, was born on the old “Colon
el Jack Billups place” approxi
mately five miles from Athens.
The son of Washington and Matil
da Billups, he was born August
9, 1851.
In an® interview Thursday he
expressed thig love for Athens, for
Clarke county, and for the friends
he has made through the years.
“This is my home, he said, “and
1 would never choose to live any
where else.”
Throughout the years he has
ben recogized for his incompara
ble work to bring about good race
relations and too “honor and be
honored in return.”
Little Scotty Hodgson, infant
son of Mr. and Mrs. Brant Hodg
son, of Atlanta, was perhaps the
youngest guest present. Seated on
a blanket spread on the lawn, he
enjoyed himself immensely, seem
ingly aware of the importance of
the occassion. 5 .
During the reception hours
Bryant Hodgson with his accord
ian presented appropriate musical
selections which added much to
the occasion.

SCOUTING THE ‘GCGREAT CIRCLE '— An RAF Lincoln on a navigational training
trip in North Polar regions, flies above ice-shrouded mountains within the Arctic Circle.
Seedless watermelons—the kind
that are ‘heart” all the way to the
rind—are now being grown on an
experimental basis at the Univer
sity of Georgia and will probably
find their way into Georgia gar
dens within the next few years.
Grown on the University farm
from seed developed in Japan, the
melons have been described by ex
perts as a horticultural feat.”
The University's seedless water
melons are the small ice box va
riety and weigh about 10 pounds
each. According to Dr. F. E. John
stone, head of the University’s hor
ticultural division, other seedless
varieties growing up to standard
size could be developed.
A seedless melon is a sterile hy
brid and is similar to hybrid corn
in that the seeds for planting must
be bred every year by hand poll
ination, Dr. Johnstone said. The
melon seed is developed by cross
ing a plant having twice the or
dinary amount of chromosomes
with an ordinary-chromosomed
plant,
To date seeds for seedless wa
termelons have been grown only
in Japan and sell for 10 cents each.
From one to six melons may grow
on a single vine.
Actually there are some seed in
a ‘seedless” melon. There may be
as many as three or four developed
seed in a melon plus a number un
developed ones that don’t get in
the way of eating.
The seedless watermelons grow
ing here are probably the first to
be grown in Georgia. They are part
of the horticulture division’s va
riety planting program.
The melons are grown in a field
where at least one out of every

Report
(Continued Prom Page One)
following suggestions are offered:
(1) Keep your children at home
or in your own neighborhood
away from strangers.
(2) Keep them away from pic
ture shows, swimming pools, par
ties and public gatherings of all
kinds.
(3) Do not let themr become fa
tigued. Strenuous athletic compe
tition is not advised. See that
younger children rest in the mid
dle of each day.
(4) Give your children extra
frdit juices and liquids. Eat only
' in approved restaurants, hotels, or
soda founts.
How much more sensible to ob
serve these preventive measures
before we have a case. Two hun
dred cases in Georgia do not con
stitute an epidemic but it be
hooves every citizen to begin to
day to do his or her part that we
may not have an epidemic.
‘Specific carea and supervision
now may prevent a great sorrow
later, It should be borne in mind
that young adults constitute a
considerable proportion of total
cases and therefore they should
observe every precaution to min
imize the chance of becoming in
fected, Dr. Brown said today.
. BURMESE CONDUCT BOOTLEG
RED CHINA TRADE
l RANGOON.— (AP) —Traders
here are getting tires into China
by driving trucks across the bor
' der and selling the trucks.
| An informant from the border
town of Kyukuk said neither the
monsoon nor anything else has re
stricted trade between the two
countries. He said the Chinese
have built small trading posts at
20-mile intervals on their side of
the border. These are manned by
military personnel.
Most payments are made in gold
bars, he said, but Burmese goods
are sometimes exchanged for
opium or raw silk. According to
him, more traffic moved towards
China than in the Burma direc
tion. The Burmese government
last year banned the export of
petroleum and tires to China ex
cept by special permit.
STUDENT RESEARCH
BELIES THEORY
MORGANTOWN, W. Va—(AP)
A West Virginia University gradu
ate student says research he con
ducted proved false a belief that
industrial waste such as fly ash
might be used successfully as a
component of glass.
The study was made by Robert
D. Bittle of Oakland, Md., to meet
requirements for a master’s de
gree. He is an employe of the
Allegheny Ordnance Works at
Frostburg, Md.
“A variation in composition, a
major factor in glass production,
makes the industrial use of fly ash
discouraging,” Bittle says.
He recommends, however, 2a
continuation of research with par
ticular emphasis on the contribu
tion of specific oxides to the pro
perties of glass. Bittle used fly ash
from the Morgantown Ordnance
Works and a soda lime glass for
base material in his experiments.
The ancient Phoenicians are be
lieved to have been the first trad
ers to vigit Travancore, India.
