Battle Os Starlings
Told By Fortson
Forest Park Clyitan Club held
its Ladies Night program at
the State Farmers Market
Monday night, Oct. 10. The
guest speaker was Secretary
of State Ben W. Fortson, Jr.
Mr. Fortson delighted his au
dience with the story of his
battle with the starlings around
the capitol building. The
methods attempting to rid the
Capitol of the birds ranged
from placing a large sign out
side the Capitol asking the birds
to leave, to an idea that was
sure to succeed. Someone told
Mr. Fortson If he would soak
some peas in wiskey and scat
ter the peas around the Capitol
lawn the starlings would eat
the peas and become intoxi
cated and then the employes at
the Capitol could pick the Starl
ings up and deposit them in the
Chattahoochee River. The most
effective means of curbing the
birds was to shoot Roman Can
dles into the mass of birds as
they approached the Capitol.
