This new fluid catalyst cracking
unit which soars 20 stories high
increases appreciably our produc¬
tion of 100 octane aviation gaso¬
line. It produces enough of this
vital fuel to power a 1,000 4-
engine bomber raid from English
air bases to Berlin every week in
the year. Other new facilities in¬
clude: a sulphuric acid alkylation
unit, a new boiler plant to furnish
steam, a new water station, cool¬
ing tower, tankage facilities and
powerful pumping stations. 10,000
tons of steel and more than 16,000
tons of concrete went into the con¬
struction of the giant cat cracker.
31.4 miles of pipe were installed—
in diameters from 2" to 72"—large
enough for a man to walk through.
A distinguished group of army,
navy, government, state and oil
officials traveled to Texas City to
attend the formal dedication cere¬
monies, and to hear Major George
Fielding Eliot do his CBS network

GEORGIA’S BERRY SCHOOLS BEACON
FOR BACKWOODS. SAYS CORONET
At the turn of the century, “Oakhill plantation on the out¬
skirts of Rome, Georgia, was just that . . . the large plantation of
the wealthy Berry family. Today, it is a light of learning that
shines for the poor children of rural Georgia . . . today it’s the
site of the Berry schools, the most unusual grammar school-
through-college institution in the world, according to an article
in the May issue of Coronet magazine. The story of the transition
from the home of wealthy planters to a school for the very poorest
students is the story of the story of the life of Martha McChesnesy
Berry
On a Sunday, 40 years ago, Martha Berry picked up three rag¬
ged little boys on the road to church in Rome. They gazed in
wonder at her Bible, on the seat beside her, and she spent the time
it took to reach Rome telling them stories from the Bible. The
very next Sunday, as she sat at breakfast in “Oakhill” the three
little boys came back . . . “to get some more book lamin’,” they
told her. And they had brought their two sisters with them.
Martha Berry realized her family would never understand her in¬
terest in these children ... so she took them across the road to a
cabin on the estate and spent the day with them teaching them
and telling them stories. That was the real beginning of the Ber¬
ry Schools.
First she established her five-pupil school in the cabin. Then
gradually the needs of the school made it apparent that she would
need more room. She had inherited a sum om money from her
father and considerable land. On the 3,000 acres she had, and
with the money, she directed the students in the erection of a
small frame dormitory to house 10 boys. Shortly after, the need
for expansion arose again. This time she went to her family law¬
yer and had him deed all her money and land to the school. He
was aghast, but he did it, Coronet continues.
The school grew, but the original fund for its support dimin¬
ished. There was not enough money in the Berry bank-roll and
the hill-folk could ill-afford to help out. It was then that the Sun¬
shine Lady, as Martha Berry was known, took the most drastic
step of her career. She went to New York to solicit funds.
It was anything but easy, but she finally got together one
thousand dollars enough to return to Georgia and enlarge the
. . .
school to take care of 18 boys and to hire two new teachers. In
1907 she received another donation that was to have a far reach¬
ing effect on the Berry Schools. After her talk to a church gath¬
ering a well-dressed man approached her and laid a dime in her
hand as a contribution for the schools. She thanked him as though
it had been $100 as it was soon. For the boys at the Berry
...
School spent half of it for peanut seeds . . . and half for melon
seeds. The crops brought in the hundred dollars, says Coronet.
The story of the 10-cent piece gained wide recognition. One
of the men who heard it and was impressed by it was named Hen¬
ry Ford. In the end, through Ford, the 10-cent investment brought
the schools a return of $1,250,100.
In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt aided in the construc¬
tion of the first girls’ dormitory . making the schools co-educa-
. .
tional. Its growth was rapid from that day forward. Today, 125
buildings cover over 35,000 acres on the world’s largest campus.
More than 10,0000 Southerners have been educated here since its
opening in 1902.
Each year, over 5,000 students clamor for admission to the
schools, but only about 20 percent pass the entrance requiiements
that they must be too poor or oo unprepared to enter any
other school. At the time of her death, Martha Berry was one ot
the most honored women in America. In a national poll, she was
voted one of the 12 greatest women in the country . . . a woman,
concludes Coronet, whom Theodore Roosevelt described as the

Hi Sis:
Kinda missed out on last week,
but I have a very good excuse.
Eva and I had Johnny Mac’s and
Billy Mike’s tonsils taken out on
Monday morring and I just
didn’t get around to writing.
Both of the boys are doing fine.
In fact they have been running
around since Wednesday.
Adrian and Bud Lawson are
home on emergency furlough.
They were called home on ac¬
count of the tragic death of
their sister, Mrs. Bertha Ford.
Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Turner
have returned from Birming¬
ham, Ala., where they were call¬
ed on account of the serious ill¬
ness and death of Mr. Turner’s
father.
Mae Carroll has been removed
from Erlanger hospital to her
home in Highland Park. Geo. A.
Carroll has gone back to Camp
after spending a short furlough
with his family. Of course, they
had to issue him a larger cap
when he got back to camp.
Robert Lea came by the other
day. He was enroute from Ken¬
tucky to Louisana.
The Home Demonstration Club
meets up at my house Wednes¬
day afternoon. I hope there will
be a nice crowd.
Bro. Steffner filled his regular
appointment at the Wildwood

if we could really get a good
crowd out sometime to hear Bro.
Steffner. He is a good preacher
and it is very discouraging to a
young fellow to never have a
good congregation. Bro. Steffner
was the luncheon guest of Mr.

I declare this is a pitiful letter,
but I just can’t think of any
news. I keep hoping that I’ll do
better as time goes on.
