SOUP ( EILINGS STAY
The Office of* Price Sttabiliza
ttion has formally denied a pro
test filed by Safeway Stores, Inc.,
calling for removal of price con
trols from a long list of food items
under provisions of the Harrison
amendment to the Defense Pro
duction Act, Clement announced
this week.
In an accompanying opinion,
the agency said it did not believe
that Congress intended the amend
ment to apply to the specific foods
temized by Safeway, principally
jams, jellies, and soups. The Har
rison amendment prohibited price
controls on fruits and vegetables
in fresh or processed form.
OPS had already decontrolled
processed fruits and vegetables,
in compliance with the amend
ment. Potatoes, the only fresh
fruit or vegetable ever under a
ceiling price regulation, were de
controlled even before Congress
adopted the Harrison amendment,
Clement said.
The denial was based on the
OPS interpretation that Congress
did not intend to include in the
Harrison amendment fruits or
vegetables transmuted by process
ing to a non-fruit or non-vegetable
form, such as margarine made from
vegetables. The amendment does
not apply to such items as baby
foods containing meats; jams and
jellies, canned and dehydrated
oups, and a group of miscellan
eous items such as vinegar, va
nilla, Chinese dinners and ice
•ream sundae syrups, the agency
contended.
In its opinion OPS said:
“The Director believes that the
Harrison amendment applies only
to those commoditites in fresh or
processed form, which (1) by com
mon and general usage are con
sid red and used as fruits or as
vegetables and (2) are sold and
used as such and (3) those com
modities listed in Ceiling Price
Regulations 55 and 56 (for can
ned foods).”
Cravey Acclaims
Girl Who Saved
Atlantian's Life
ATLANTA — First member of
her sex to be so cited, a dainty 17-
year old Atlanta high school miss,
has been sworn in as an Honorary
State Fire Marshal by Safety Fire
Commissioner Zack D. Cravey.
The Murphy High Junior was ac
claimed for her act in saving the
life of a neighbor through artifi
cial respiration after he had been
dragged from a burning house.
Attractive blue-eyed blond Jean
McCarty along with her 15-year
old sister, Cynthia, received her
first aid training from her mother,
Mrs. Cynthia McCarthy, a regis
tered nurse with DeKalb County
Health Department.
Jean was on her way home from
school last month when she saw
smoke pouring from the windows
of the home from neighbor B. A.
Warlick. Knocking on the hot
door and receiving no reply, she
.screamed for help. Another neigh
bor, L. S. Kelley, batted in the
door and pulled Mr. Warlick, over
come with smoke, outside while
Jean phoned the fire department.
“Do you know anything about
artificial respiration?” she asked
Mr. Kelley as they hovered over
the unconscious form. He confess
ed he did not.
“Well, I do,” Jean said, and
calmly went to work. When fire
men arrived with oxygen she had
her patient well on his way to con
sciousness.
In swearing in Miss McCarty,
Mr. Cravey congratulated her and
agreed with all present that
“Murphy High produces other
champions besides football kings.”
He told Mrs. McCarty she had
1 shown remarkable foresight in
teaching her children first aid.
Mrs. McCarty, in turn strongly
endorsed the commissioner’s spon
sorship of a compulsory training
course in fire prevention and safe
ty for Georgia student nurses.
“We didn’t have a course in Macon
when I graduated,” she explained.
“But my first aid training cer
tainly has paid dividends. Take my
daughter for example. Similar
benefits from a fire safety course
for nurses would know no bounds.”
She expressed delight when in
formed that the Macon City Hos
pital has inaugurated the pro
gram, which originated four years
ago at Columbus, and has been
recommended as a must for all
hospitals by the International As
sociation of Fire Chiefs.

We never knew that the wife
was so important to the well run
ning of Ye Editor’s home at Need
more Farm, but we are learning
and learning fast.
The wife went to Chicago, 111.,
with her son Billie Miller and fam
ily. Taking advantage of a free

the son and family who spent the
Christmas holidays with the fam
ily at Needmore Farm.
We were “agin” her going, but
it looked as if held out that there
would be a “family row,” and
wanting to keep peace in the fam
ily if at all possible, we kept
our mouth shut, and as a result
Ye Editor, son Homer and daugh
ter Ruth are holding forth at the
Farm.
But, realizing that we are get
ting old, and at the best ain’t got
much time on earth at the best,
we miss the “better half,” es
pecially when the shades of night
begin to fall and it is time to
turn in for a nights rest after a
strenuous day.
Yes, if we ever get her back
home, we are going to see that
she gets no further away from
Ntedmore Farm, than can safely
be made back in a short time,
even if it causes a family “bust
up.”
We are going to stand on our
constitutional rights and demand
that .she stay home with Ye Edi
