Ralph Hobbs of the State Board
of Education was the guest speak
er and was introduced by Miss

The members departed from
the very informative and inter
esting Conference with a re
newed faith in the purpose of the
Georgia Committee on Children
and Youth which is the imple
mentation of programs planned
to meet specific needs of Geor
gia children and youth. Through
member organization and agen
cies and through its own district
organizations, the Committee
works to improve health, educat
ion, recreation, family and spi
ritual life, employment opportun
ities and orientation to the work
world of all children and youth
in the state. It strives to relate
findings of the White House Con
ferences on Children and Youth
to Georgia, and to further these
findings in local communities.

“Oddities Os 1968”
Heard the one about the bungl
ing banana bandit?
He figured in one of the
daffiest of Aetna Life & Casual
ty’s annual collection of bizarre
insurance claim cases.
The young desperadoap
proached a cashier in a San
Diego grocery, inadvertently
drew a ripe banana instead of his
revolver, and boldly proclaimed
a stickup. Thrown into a near
panic when he discovered his
mistake, the callow Clyde with
the bonnie banana still manag
ed to fumble out his real gun
and split with $745 before the
laughter died.
Here are some more of the
best “weirdies” from among
the 14 million claims handled
by Aetna in 1968:
From Tucson comes another
tale of ludicrous larceny. This
one starred a shoplifter who
bit an arm and leg of a vigilant
drug store clerk in a mad gnash
to freedom.
And while a Milwaukee home
owner’s watch dog had the right
to bite, he became so nervous
after an encounter with burglars
that his owner took him to a
vet "to see what could be done
about his state of mind." The
pooch’s prescription was for
tranquilizers.
A Missouri policyholder was
anything but tranquil after be
ing shaken up in an auto acci
dent. And even 120 days after
the minor mishap, he claimed
that he was still too nervous to
return to his job — racking
up pool balls.
And a dog owner who left
his car briefly with the engine
running was unnerved when his
impatient mutt hit the automatic
shift, rolled down and Ohio
street, and crashed into — what
else —a fireplug.
Flying high last year were a
soused simian and a pack of
pickled pig’s feet. The revelling
Rhesus monkey molested tour
ists at a Florida zoo after be
ing fed whiskey by an unidenti
fied, but obviously over-spiri
ted, employee. And in Hous
ton “a person or persons un
known” heaved a jar of hog’s
hoofs through the windshield of
a claimant’s pickup truck.
Os course, the ladies played
a prominent role in the “Oddi
ties of 1968." For example, a
Phoenix motorist slammed into
a utility pole to avoid hitting a
man who dashed into the street.
Traffic was the least of the
latter’s problems — he was

Rock City Bird Houses
Gives Purple Martins Home
CHATTANOOGA, TENN. (Spe
cial)-The purple martins are due
back in Chattanooga now. This
year they will return to a bird
house bonanza that provides 3600
additional nesting ‘‘apartments’’
in the Chattanooga area.
The enormous number of new
homes for martins is the result
of a program of super-blrthouses
launched by Rock City, a travel
attraction atop Lookout Mountain
near Chattanooga.
The super-house was designed
at the request of the Shell Oil
Company for locations at key
service stations. The design
proved so attractive that Rock
City placed 150 of the houses at
other spots in the Chattanooga
area during the winter months.
Now the houses are ready and
waiting for their feathered te
nants.
Each of the giant houses will
hold 24 separate bird families,
for a total of 3600 apartments.
The houses are made of enameled
steel, completely weather-proof
and durable. A special feature
of the super-houses Is the use of
waxed, corrugated liners. These
can be removed for easier clean
ing, and provide insulation from
extremes of heat or cold which
might affect a metal house. The
liners provide the 6” x 6’* x
6” cubicle that martins are said
to prefer.
STARLING GUARDS
The big birdhouses are pro
vided with another unique fea
ture, a starling guard which pre
vents starlings from landing on
the birdhouse roofs. The guard
is a taut, piano wire stretched
the length of the roof’s peak at
a height far enough above the
roof line to throw a starling off
balance as it attempts to land.
Martins, on the other hand, are
able to fly directly into their
nests.
As soon as martins are est
ablished in their houses, they will
defend the area against predators,
even attacking hawks or crows.
According to Rock City, it is
likely there will be room to
spare for all of last year’s mar
tins and whatever newcombers
fly by.
Rock City’s super-houses are
not available for sale, since they
are part of a maintenance pro
gram that is carried out every
year by the company’s crews.
A smaller, 6 unit house is made
and sold to travelers who want a
Rock City birdhouse for their own
yard.

Administration activities in FY
