AG FAIR MIDWAY FEATURES
FREE TRAPEZE ACTS HERE
- By LEON DRISKELL
Despite a cold drizzle of rain
and an ‘overcast sky, number of
Athenians and northeast Geor
gians turned out last night to en
joy the many features of the Agri
cultural Fair. The Fair will be
open for the entire week through
the late Saturday night shows
and acts. Prell’s Broadway Shows
offered a full fare of enjoyment
to all fair goers.
Free acts are presented for the
enjoyment of the public twice
daily. Both free acts are on the
order of trapeeze stunts and can
be seen at 5 o'clock and 10 in the
evening. Both of these space-de
fying acts are guaranteed to chill
the blood of all onlookers.
Captain Jimmy Jameson, navy
vateran high-diver, specializes in
his leap from a 125 ft. pole into a
tank of water only five and a half
deep. Captain Jameson is one of
the few high drivers remaining
in the United States. He recently
returned from Europe where he
performed for a number of crown
ed heads.
A specially constructed tower
perched high in the air is the set
ting for the other free act which
is billed as "Two Stars and A
Moon”. The name of the act is
taken from the two performers
who dress in glittering apparel
and the tower which is built in
the form of a horned moon played
upon by strong spotlights. This
act is highlighted when one of the
“stars” hangs from the peak of
the tower by his teeth and thrills
:, onlookers with “happy hor-
Students Present
Although townspeople were not
in large numbers at the fair last
night due to the rain, there was
a determined faction of Univers
ity students who stayed the full
time in quest of carnival fun. The
liberal sprinkling of big teddy
bears and dolls all over the mid
way was ample proof that there
were plenty of winners at the
various booths and games.
The featured shows of Prell's
Broadway Company proved their
rits to one and all of the plea
me seekers with full houses for
most of the performances.
iFor veterans of last year's Ag
ir there is no use to mention
e famous “girl shows” which
were enjoyed so fully. :

the Holy War some Egyptians

Egypt’'s “aim” to which he re
ferred is to oust the British en~
tirely from Egypt and to take full
control of the anglo-Egyptian Su

permitted British troops to guard
the canal, and an 1899 treaty

The British appeared to be
building up a strong military posi

canal. Following last week’s clash
at El Ferdan bridge over the
canal, in which two Egyptian
soldiers were killed, the Egyptian
forces have kept out of range.
Only two highway and rail lines
link the canal with inland Cairo.
One highway and railway ends
at Port Suez. The other terminates
at Ismailia, the canal's miid-point,
which the British firmly grasped
last week.

H. R. Smith was fined $41.50 in
Recorder’s Court this morning for
reckless driving.
Mr. Smith was involved in an
accident at Lumpkin street and
Baxter street at 12:15 yesterday
afternoon. He_ was turning from
Lumpkin street to Baxter street
without giving any signal, the
court was told this morning. The
other car involved in the accident
was traveling south on Lumpkin
and hit Mr. Smith’s car and his
car rammed into a fire hydrant.
Andrew Green and Claude
Smith were fined $26.50 in Re
corder’s Court this morning for
disorderly conduct.
Andrew Green had hit a colored
woman on the head with a length
of pipe and took her wallet with

The colored woman has taken
out warrants for the arrest of both
men for larceny from person, said

official spokesman of the U. N,

Pien was “a more military type”
than Tung who was regarded by
the U. N. delegation as a political
adviser.
Nuckols said Chang never gave
any indication of taking an active
part in negotiations,
The change, Nuckols said, might
indicate the Communists will
show greater interest in the mili
tary aspects of an armistice. The
U. N. command has emphasized
military considerations through
out negotiations and has accused
the Reds of being primarily in
terested in political angles.
Buffer Zone?
This was particularly true of the
location of a buffer zone for the
armistice —the only point dis
cussed so far. That’s the question
negotiators will take up when they
meet again.
The Reds have insisted such a
zone be centered on the 38th par
allel, old political boundary be
tween North and I aih Korea.
The Allies have been equally in
sistent that the buffer zone be de
termined purely on military con
siderations. They want it based
on defensible positions approxi=-
mately on the current battle line.
Most of the battle line is north
of the parallel, U. N, troops have
been shoving it steadily north

HOARD DOLLORS
PITTSBURGH, Pa., — (AP) —
The American consumer is advised
to take up the hoarding of dollars
instead of consumer goods to com
bat inflation in the coming year.
This was the recommendation of
Walter J. L. Ray, president of the
United States Savings and Loan
League, in a speech before the
Pennsylvania Savings and Loan
League.
“Whether we will have more
or less inflation in the next is
squarely up to 150 million Ameri
can consumers,” he said. Price
inflation since Korea has been
caused chiefly by panicky con
sumer buying “spurred on by the
cries of shortages and higher
prices.”
