POLYPROPYLENE
Polypropylene, pro
nounced poll-e pro-pa
leen, is the most widely
used fiber for outdoor
carpeting. Carpeting of
ferraces, patios, poolsides,
and other well-used out
. door areas has become
9 prevalent today, and this
durable fiber was
developed so meet the
rising needs of indoor
outdoor carpet.
Polypropylene is
resistant to mildew and is
therefore well adapted to
outdoor usage, where
weather can take its toll of
weaker fibers. It is highly
resistantto fading, and has
a fail resiliency, though not
as good as strictly indoor
fibers like nylon.
Polypropylene does have a
low melting point, so it
cannot be used near fires,
and care must be taken to
keep cigarettes and the
like from burning holes in
it.
For an introduction to
fibers, see us the carpet
experts. We know what you
need, and can help you find
what you want. See us
♦-today.

Vienna Man Killed

A Vienna man working

Fails To Show Again
Local SCLC President,
Silas Smith, Under Fire
Silas Smith, who for the
past 15 years has deemed
himself as president of the
Houston County chapter of
SCLC (Southern Christian
Leadership Conference),
appears to be in danger of
losing his title. A group of
Houston Black residents
have three times asked to
meet with Smith, been
disappointed three times,
and now have gone over
Smith's head to the state
headquarters.
Caucusing last Wed
nesday night at the Free
Providence Baptist Church
in Grovania, more than
fifty black residents were
prepared for Smith to
explain actions the group
says were unauthorized.
But Smith didn't show up,
for the third consecutive
time.
Earl Rawls and Fay
Davis, two spokesmen of
the group, said that Smith
had denied their group
membership in the local
SCLC. The dissenters are
part of the Citizens Action
Movement (CAM). Rawls
added that a delegation
went to Atlanta on July 14
and met with the state
SCLC officers.
"They told us to file
formal charges. He
(Smith) attempted to
renew the Houston
County chapter's charter
with 100 members. A check
seems to show he falsified
records," Rawls con
tinued.
"Our group wanted to
meet with Smith to con
firm information received
from Atlanta. Rev. Fred
Taylor (state SCLC
chairman) requested we
petition for a charter. We
have 55 paid members, at
$5.00 each, and plan to
form an SCLC chapter and
elect officers," Davis and
Rawls stated.
Rawls further said that
the local group will petition
to Rev. David Abernathy,
the national SCLC
chairman reasons why
they think Smith should
resign. "As of 1974,
Houston County has had no
valid charter. No members
on roll, no records. The
names he submitted we
contacted, and said they
had made no response
about membership."
The local group will now
seek to define the
relationship between
themselves, Silas Smith,
and the state SCLC. A new
county chartered chapter
appears to be in the offing
soon.
