son of the founder of the Coca- i
Cola empire, died at 6:30 A. M.
Sunday 'at Emory University
Hospital after a long illness, end
ing one of the most colorful lives
of this century.
Mr. Candler was the father
of Mrs. Thomas G. Callaway
Jr., of Covington.
The second son of the empire
bunder, Asa G. Candler, who
founded the Coca-Cola company
to become one of the richest
men in America, he was himself
a builder with multifarious busi
ness interests.
In addition, he was a big
| game hunter, a yachtsman and
an aviation enthusiast, one of
the first citizens in this country
i to own a private plane.
Born in Atlanta Aug. 27. 1880,
he was educated at Emory-at-
Oxford where he became the
' classmate and lifelong friend of
Vice-President Alben W. Bark
ley. His father, a poor druggist
who acquired the magic formula
for Coca-Cola at an Atlanta
drugstore, was just beginning to
run the bottling business into a
fortune and young Asa was
pressed into service to help
him.
He went all ove” America, ac
quiring land for bottling plants
and supervising the construc
tion of the plants.
He was in his 20’s when’ his
father sent him to Hartwell to
supervise the construction of the
30,000 spindle Hartwell Cotton
Mill, one of the world's largest
textile plants. While he was in
Hartwell he met and fell in love
'with Miss Helen Magill, daugh
ter of the newspaper editor, and
as an engagement ring he gave
her a small yellow diamond
which he had won in the Hart-1
well turkey shoot Although she
was to have great wealth and
priceless jewels later. Mrs. Cand
ler clung to the turkey shoot ■
ring until her death and would j
not allow her husband to re
place it with a more expensive :
ring.
After the death of his first
wife Mr. Candler married Miss
Florence Adeline Stephenson, of
Lithonia, in 1927.
She and five children by his
first marriage survive. They are
Mrs. Homer Thompson. Mrs. H.
L Davidson Jr., and Samuel
Candler, of Atlanta; Mrs. Edgar
Chambers Jr., of Athens, and
Mrs. Thomas G. Callaway Jr.,
of Covington. Two other sons,
John H. and Asa G. Candler 111.
died several years ago. Other
survivors include his brothers.
Charles Howard, and Walter T.
। Candler, and a sister, Mrs. En
• rico Leide, of Atlanta, and New
York.
Mr. Candler underwent an op
eration at Emory Hospital in Oc
tober and although he was able
to return home, he had been in
; ill health since then. He re-en
tered the hospital last Tuesday.
Funeral services were held at
12.30 P. M. Tuesday from the
Florence Candler Memorial
Chapel at Westview Abbey.
Officiating were Methodist
Bishop Arthur J. Moore. Dr.
Louie D. Newton, former presi
dent of the Southern Baptist

IN SUB-FREEZING WEATHER, a crew of 30 bricklayers work around the
clock in Park Ridge, 111. to rush construction on a home being built for
Mrs. Mary Kitsmiller and her son, James, 6. Mrs. Kitsmiller, a polio
victim confined to an iron lung, is being divorced by her husband and
recently was evicted by her mother-in-law, (International)
More Help Heeded In 1?53 Polio
Drive, County Director Expkins
As the March of Dimes drive in Newton County goes
into its second full week. Aubra Sherv.ood, campaign direc
tor, called upon all residents of this area to step up the
pace in the fight against polio. “We have gotten off to a
| good start.” Mr. Sherwood said. “But we must now shift
into high. We have just come
through the worst recorded polio
■ epidemic of all time. And, ironi
■ cally, that epidemic occurred al
■ most simultaneously with reoprts
t of genuine scientific progress
■ against the disease.”
Mr Sherwood compared the
I situation to a tug-of-war—polio's
' threatening power pittea against
the power of the dimes and dol
lars contributed voluntarily by
the American people.
“For the past five years.” Mr.
Sherwood pointed out, “the na
tion has undergone terrific* on
(slaughts of polio. In 1952 alone
! there were more than 55.000 re
ported cases compared with 42,-
033 in 1949. the previous record
year. As cases have soared, so
have the costs. At the same time,
the purchasing power of the dol
lar has nosedived.”
The Newton County campaign
director' cited the vast service
made passible by the National
Foundation for Infantile Para- (
lysis through the March of Dimes, i
' He said that four out of five polio i
patients need and receive direct
aid, and that were it not for the
■ financial support of the March
of Dimes, we might still be in the 1
“dark ages" so far as scientific
progress against the disease was i
concerned.
“The people of Newton Coun
ty,” Mr. Sherwood said, “must
realize the seriousness of the
plight we face. Polio is the only
epidemic disease still on the in
crease in our nation. Now is the |
time to increase our contribu-1
tions to combat it. While there
has been a good response so far,
it is of vital importance that
everyone be given a chance to
join in our common cause. When
you go shopping and see those
March of Dimes coin collectors in
the store—drop in a much as
you can. That little movement
of your hand may help some polio
patient regain the movement of
his hand.” ,
There are only three weeks to [,
Igo in the polio drive, and enough ।
money must b£ raised to carry on 11
the fight throughout the entire
year. Mr. Sherwood said. j,
Mr. Sherwood concluded, “We (
are going along fairly well, but
,it is vital for us to accelerate our ,
•speed. I am confident that the
people of Newton County, know- '
ing the need, will respond as
never before."
