pictured above holding a tomato from her garden with five or
six finger like protrusions from it, making it one of the most
unusual ever seen locally. The strange looking tomato was of
the usual color and texture and but for its most unusually
protuberances would have been like any other tomato. No
reason for this freak of nature could be attributed by Mrs.
Robertson. - Photo by Pati Galt.

Talmadge Urges
Nixon To Sign
Vets Loan Bill
ATLANTA, - (GPS) U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
ranking Democrat on the
Senate Veterans Affairs Com
mittee, has urged President
Richard M. Nixon to sign
legislation on his desk that
would allow the Veterans
Administration to resume
approval of government insur
ed home loans for veterans.
Sen. Talmadge’s request was
made in a letter to the
President which stated:
“It is essential that this
measure be signed into law
immediately. Great disrup
tions are occurring each and
every day in Georgia and
throughout the nation as a
result of the inability of the
Veterans Administration to
approve home loans commen
surate with market rates.

to the Senate for passage a
measure that would provide
the administrator of the
Veterans Administration with
flexible authority to set
interest rates on government

veterans.
“It is imperative that the
President follow his own stated
intentions of carrying on the
Constitutional duties of his

disparaging situation in the
