Georgia Man Makes Good—
C. E. Middlebrooks, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Middlebrooks
of Jonesboro, has for many years
been working on a new type
motor fpr automobiles and par
ticularly for drag racing cars.
The experts said that he
couldn’t do it but Gene, as his
Georgia friends call him, proved
that the experts are not always
right.
He has produced a turbine
type engine that weighs only 55
pounds and develops 365 horse
power. Getting this much horse
power out of such a small pack
age seems to be incredible when
you think about the fact that a
Ford or Chevrolet motor will
weigh close to 400 pounds.
This motor will make it pos
sible for the drag strip drivers
to reach a speed of 200 miles per
hour on a quarter mile strip
which is some thirteen hundred
feet in length. One of the ex
perimental engines has reached
the speed of 80 miles an hour in
the incredible time of four sec
onds. Both the February and
March issues of “Popular Hot
Rodding,” a national magazine,
carried stories about this re
markable engine. The March
issue listed the engine on the
front cover of the magazine.
The story in the February
issue of “Popular Hot Rodding”
starts off as follows:
“I was there when the first
full size Turbine-powered drag
ster exploded into life. A sharp
shot gun-blast split the Decem
ber night air, a shot which may
some day be said to have been
heard around the world for it
could well spell the beginning of
the end for the conventional
engine dragster.”
There are a great many pos
sibilities of other uses for this
20th century engine. Any engine
capable of making a drag strip
car reach the speed of 204 miles
an hour in a distance of 1320
feet has great possibilities.
In closing the article in the
March issue Spence Murray said
—“All eyes are on the progres
sive Barris dragster—and the

be on its way out.”
C. E. <Gene> Middlebrooks was
experimenting with engines even
as a student attending Clayton
County High School. He has
been holding a responsible posi
tion with Martin Aircraft in Or
lando, Fla. while developing his
Turbine engine in his spare
time. A corporation has been
I formed to manufacture and dis
tribute these engines selling for
less than $2,000.00. Mr. Middle
brooks is President of the cor-
I poration.
The business is increasing so
rapidly that Gene may be forced
to devote his full time to the
Turbonique Corporation. The
I fact that the engine developed
jby Mr. Middlebrooks will out
. I perform machines costing $lO,-
' 000.00 or more should call for ex
,! panded facilities of this corpora- ,
। ■ tion.
Gene Middlebrooks has dem
। onstrated that having an idea,
, believing in it and sweating at
it is a good road to success.

Uterine Cancer
Deaths Drop 50%
Uterine cancer deaths have dropped 50 per cent in a
generation according to the 1963 Annual Report of the
American Cancer Society, however, this cancer is still
Georgia’s most prevalent form and the state’s death rate
is considerably above the national level of 14.3 per 100,000
population.
An estimated 1,100 new cases
of uterine cancer will be diag-1
nosed in Georgia during 1964
and approximately 360 women
will die of this disease. Georgia
has, however, followed the na
tional trend in improved cure
rates and today some 65 per cent
of all uterine cancer patients are
being saved.
Georgia volunteers for the
American Cancer Society have
conducted a major campaign to
reduce uterine cancer deaths the
past nine months in the CON
QUER UTERINE CANCER pro
gram.
Endorsed by Federated Wom
en’s Clubs, Pilot International,
Council of Catholic Women and
National Council of Negro Wom
en, more than 100 women’s
i groups in Georgia have been en
rolled in this program to en
courage women to have an.,gn
nual health checkup to include
the “Pap” smear test for uterine
cancer.

that 16 Woman’s Clubs were
honored at their annual meeting
in Augusta for having attained
100 per cent of their members
examined this year.
The “Pap” test, called the
greatest advance in cancer con
trol in the past 50 years, enables
doctors to detect cancer of the
uterus when it is virtually 100
per cent curable. The Society
points out that if every adult
woman had this test once a year
this cancer might be eliminated
as a cause of death.

More than 13,000 Georgia

short film describes the “Pap”
test as an early detection tech

The Metropolitan Atlanta pro

for a large part of this total. A

through the cooperation of Pub

a corps of volunteer nurses, doc

The increases in lung cancer
deaths noted in the 1963 report
are paralleled in Georgia where
700 lung cancer deaths occurred
in 1962, the greatest from any
one form of cancer.

Family
And Children
Services
Clayton County, Mrs. Anne T.
Plant Director, answers ques
tions about Family and Children
Services.
1. When a person goes to the
County Department of Family
and Children Services to apply
for assistance, what information
and evidence of eligibility must
be carried along in order to
apply?
Any person can apply for pub
lic assistance at any time with
out producing any evidence or
information. However, before
one can receive assistance on
any of Georgia’s programs of
monetary aid, complete eligi
bility must be established. This
is done through interviews and
investigation. During the inves
tigation, the caseworker will ex
amine such articles as birth rec
ord, residence evidence, income,
savings, and willingness of chil
dren and relatives to contribute
to the applicant’s support.
2. How easy is it to get public
assistance?
Receiving public assistance is
not a matter of ease or diffi
culty. If the applicant is in need
and eligible, then he or she is
entitled by law to assistance and
cannot be denied.
