Tim O’Neal Builds Replica
Of Famed Globe Theater
A 19-year-old Samford Uni
versity student with Butts
County antecedents recently
devoted 400 hours and SSO in
reproducing a replica of the
Globe Theater which was made
famous by the works of
William Shakespeare being

The student is Timothy
O’Neal, of Forest Park, a
pre-pharmacy student. He is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin

He is the grandson of Mr. and
Mrs. Asa O’Neal and Mr. J. W.
Browning, Sr., all of Jackson.
So realistic is his theater that
he has been invited to display
his work at the Alabama
Shakespeare Festival in An
niston. Because of his indus
trious project Timothy receiv
ed a better grade in English
Literature and the satisfaction
of having “done it because it
kind of interested me.”

It took him more than eight
months to complete the model
which is made almost entirely
of balsa wood and stripped
sand paper.
Timothy says his model is a
true reproduction of the Globe,
complete with a trap door and
a superstructure —a building
on top of the theater which was
used in Shakespeare’s day for
special effects and sounds.
Timothy’s professor, Dr.
Margaret Brodnax, said his
grade in the course was raised
one letter by the project, which
she described as “one of the
more outstanding ones turned
in.”
Timothy, who said he
invested at least SSO in
material for the model, said he
found directions for it in a book
at the Samford library. Much
study, he said, preceded actual
construction.
“It wasn’t easy to make and
it took a while,” he conceded.
But his mark in the course
made it worthwhile.

James Taylor
Retires After
32 Years Work
James F. Taylor, former
Regional Commissioner for the
General Services Administra
tion’s Property Management
and Disposal Service in Forth
Worth, retired after 32 years
Federal employment, July 31,
1973.
Taylor, a native of Butts
County, Georgia, had worked
for the old Defense Material

GSA’s Property Management
and disposal Service in 1964,
and became a Regional
Commissioner in 1972. Taylor
was the only PMDS Chief the

the Service having been
disbanded in July, 1973. Taylor
managed millions of square
feet of warehouse items and
stock pile materials and was
responsible for millions of
dollars in strategic materials
and both excess and surplus
personal property and real
estate for the Federal Govern
ment. He directed the efforts of
150 GSA employees, as well as
dealing with many private
contractors through the 5-state
Southwestern region.
His biggest challenge, ac
cording to Taylor, was setting
up a widespread organization
to receive and store both
peronal property and stock pile
materials; staffing it with
professionals in material and
real estate management; and
preserving strategic ores from
various foreign countries and
the continental United States
for possible use in war time.
A retired Lieutenant Colonel
in the US Army Reserve,
Taylor served in the European
theater during World War 11.
He and his wife, Martha, live in
Richardson, Texas, where they
will continue tG reside for the
time being. They have two
children: Mary Ann, a public
school teacher in Dallas, and
Thomas, a junior at Texas
A&M University in College
Station, Texas.
Taylor is the son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Taylor of
Jackson.

attributes of the college, for
instance, the dynamic presi

cordial faculty and staff and
the exciting plans for growth,”
Miss Simons said.
She is particularly interested
in the administration’s enthus
iasm for beginning a two year
