Expected Victory Turns Into Rout
While Syrupmakers' Feet Stick
Cairo football fans came to see
a rather close game last Friday
night when the Moultrie Pack
ers met the Syrupmakers on their
home ground; instead they saw a
lout when the agile and well
trained Packers out-played, out¬
ran, and out-maneuvered the lo
ca ls from the opening play to
rack up a victory of 40-7. The
Syrupmakers meet Bainbridge
here tonight, a team against
which the Cairo boys have only
an outside chance to salvage a
victory.
After Gaya kicked off to the
Packers ^ to open the first period
an exchange of fumbles gave
Moultrie possession of the ball

Cairo Woman
In Air Crash
Mrs. Perkins Is
Killed With 54
Others Tuesday
Mrs. Lillie Perkins, 63-year-old
Cairo grandmother was on her
first and last plane trip last Tues
day when the big Eastern Air
Lines Plane, of which she was a
passenger collided in the air with
a little fighter plane near the
Washington, D. C. Airport, bring
ing instant death to 55 persons.
Only one person came through
the mid-air crash alive. He was
the 28-year-old Bolivian pilot
Eric Bridoux, who was flying the
fighter plane, which apparently
caused the collision, as both
planes came in to land at the
airport ‘
Mrs. Perkins had been visiting
her daughter and son-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Arnold Barter, and their
children at Portlant Me
No air traveler, she had gone
to Maine via train and bus, and
originally was scheduled to re
turn to her home here last Sun
day, according to neighbors.
However, she contracted a cold
while on her visit and was delay
ed in her departure.
Because of her slight illness,
neighbors added, Mrs. Perkins
daughter in Maine suggested she
return to Cairo by plane, making
the trip faster and easier than
by land transportation. She
acceded to the request and
obtained passage from Boston to
Albany.
She was scheduled to arrive
in Albany at 7:10 P. M. Tuesday
night. Perkins had

neighbors here she was “thrill¬
ed” at the idea of her forthcom¬
ing first plane trip.
Eastern sent a representative
here late Tuesday to inform
relatives and friends of Mrs.
Perkins that she had been
positively indentified. The body
is enroute here for funeral ser¬
vices and burial.
Other children include Mrs. R.
A. Drinkwater of Bainbridge, B.
A. Perkins, of West Palm Beach
Fla.; John and Belcher Perkins,
of Deland, Fla., and Mrs. Lucie
McLendon, of Chocoree Falls,
Mass.
Mrs McLendon had just arriv¬
ed here to visit her mother when
she received the tragic news.
The entire community was
shocked.
Mrs. Perkins’ relatives in Thom
asville, Mrs. W. H. Cook, a sister,
and Mrs. Dan Wilcox, a niece,
thought that she had already ar¬
rived in Cairo by train when the
tragic news reached them.
Three other sisters in addition
to Mrs. Cook also survive. They
are Mrs. Charlie Harper, of Cairo;
Mrs. Clyde Barrow, Homestead,
Fla. and Mrs. G. H. Donaldson,
Stuart, Fla. Mrs. Barrow learned
of her sisters death in a radio
report of the tragedy direct from
the Washington airport when the
names of all the crash victims
were read.
A lifelong resident of this
County, the deceased was born
here January 14. 1886, the daught¬
er of the late A. F. and Mellie
Brinson Perkins.

the Chamber of Commerce, in a

Christmas Trade Festival to open

'50 Chest Drive
Opens Monday I
Robert Wight Is
Chairman; Many
To Help
The Grady County Community
Chest’s 1950 Fund campaign will
open Monday with a goal of
$13,960, about the same as for this
year, for the 10 institutional mem¬
bers for which it raises funds,
Robert P. Wight, the drive chair¬
man, announced this week.
This year emphasis will be
placed upon the “major gifts”
solicitation for which the solici¬
tors will meet Monday at 7 a. m.
for a kick-off breakfast at Citiz
ens Cafe and go from there di¬
rectly into their task, Chairman
Wight revealed.
Present plans call for all other
solicitors to meet at 9 a. m. Tues
day in the main courtroom at the
Courthouse to receive final in
structions and begin their work.
“Major gifts” solicitors will make
every effort to go as far as they
can during the day Monday to
/ ward completing their substantial task so
that, if possible, a
sum can be reported “in hand” at
the general solicitors’ meeting
Tuesday morning. strongly

thorough canvass and a still more
urgent appeal to everyone to do
their part to enable the Chest to
meet its obligations in full. The
campaign will include the county
as a whole, since nearly all of
the money rai~cd goes to agencies
that operate on a county-wide
basis, with benefits proportion¬
ately larger for the county out¬
side than for Cairo prep or.
Persons may make payments
or pledges to solicitors or at
several other convenient places:
Cairo Banking Co., Citizens Bank,
Grady Co. Credit Exchange of
fice or to Chairman Wight at
post office in Cairo; and Whig
ham Banking Co., Whigham.
It is emphasized that payments
and pledges in this campaign are
for the calendar year 1950 and
that they should not be confused
with those for this year. Pay
ments in full may be made to
solicitors but any other conven¬
ient method of payment may be
used. Many prefer bank draft
orders and solicitors will have
cards to arrange for such, on a
monthly basis, or otherwise.
Payments may be made quarter¬
ly, as some arrange them. Miss
Lillie Shores at the Courthouse
is present Chest treasurer and
will receive all 1949 payments
still due since she will continue
to sreve for 1949 operations until
’ Dec. 31st. Mrs. Lois Burroughs
- Sfffi
will handle all 1950 funds.
Following are the Chest ap¬
proved amounts for the 10 causes
or institutional members for 1950:
Boy Scouts, $2,210; American
Cancer Control Society, $270;
Grady County Emergency Wel¬
fare Council, $5,000; Salvation
Army, $500; City-County Recre¬
ation Program, $2,000; Cairo
(Counyt) Public Library, $3,000;
Grady County 4-H Clubs, $400;
U. S. O., $250; and Girl Scouts,
none (inactive). of
It is pointed out that most
these amounts are substantially
the same as for 1949, except a
small decrease for the Emergency
Welfare Council and an increase
for the Library. It is also em
phasized that the Library and
Recreation Program are support
ed to some extent by tax funds
but that they could not be carried
on without what the Chest pro
vides for them, since tax funds
are insufficient and more money
from that source are not forth
coming. The genera! belief is
that both these agencies should
be suported entirely from tax
funds but since suport from this
source is insufficient their con
tinuance is definitely dependent
upon what thev receive from the
public, generally, through the
Chest.
At the annual meeting of the
Chest some strong statements
were made by representatives of
the causes to the effect that their
continuance this year was due
to Chest support—and that it is
much more efficient to raise
funds therefor in a single, well
handled campaign than in nine
separate drives during the year.

Grand Jury Presentments For
October Term, Court
The Grand Jury for the October
term of Grady Superior Court,
adjourned Wednesday Oct. 26th.,
being in session only three days,
Due to the fact that the body
had very few criminal warrants
f or investigation with only two
or three of a serious nature, was
probably the main reason for one
G f the shortest sessions in the
history of the county, This in- i
dicates a very wholesome con- I
dition in the county at this time.
The report of Miss Mary Louise
Maxwell, director of the Grady
County Department of Public
Welfare, was probably the most
outstanding of any brought to the
attention of the Grand Jury. Her i
report was a very extensive one,
and goes into considerable de¬
tail concerning the amount of
work as well as the duties of this
agency. condition of
The report of the
the Grady County School Board
showed that the Board was now
in debt to the extent $55,742.00. [

of both civil and criminal cases
were disposed of. Judge Carl

interests of the state. Court of¬
ficials said more cases were dis¬

The civil case on trial when
the Messenger went to press last
Thursday was that of Mr. and

unable to reach a verdict, result¬
ing in a mistrial. The case will

tried Friday Oct. 28th., was that
of Mrs. Rena Andrews, from
Camilla, who was riding in the
car as a guest of Mrs. Groover
when the accident occurred at the
Bailey bridge north of Cairo. The
Jury returned a judgement of $5,000 for
the plaintiff in the sum
