ning students, c mpanied by Professors
I E, Saporta and Robert C. Stuart, ar¬
rived in Cleveland last Friday morning
and immediately plunged into their task
of making a master plan for Clevelan ,’e
future.
The two ’professors and ten graduate

sion, presided
The County Commissioners agreed to

duce a bill for au overall plan for White
County, A notiee rf such a bill is being
carried in Ehe Courier this week
The Cleveland Planning Commission,
City officials and the County Commission¬
ers all assured the two professors and the
tan graduate students of Ga, Tech that
they would have their full support in this
very important task of prepaiing a mas
ter plnn lor Cleveland’s future.
Only actual cost, is being made, which
the City of Cleveland has voted to de¬
fray. Their cost of lodging was $30 90,
but Grady Carpenter cut the bill id half,
making it cost the City o ly $15.45 Food
was only $36 06, making a total cost to
the City of $51 5I.
Some twenty graduate architectural
students will come to Cleveland around
Jan. 30 to make a further study
It is hoped that waj 8 can be woikecl
out for the graduate students to make a
model of their plan fur Cleveland’s future
in addition to their report and recom
inundations,
Cleveland is jubliant over securing the
services of the expert city planners aud
architects in making a master plan for
our little city’s future. It is conserva¬
tively estimated that if Cleveland had to
hire private city planners aud archii ects
to do the job it would cost $50,00C
Cleveland wants to extend these fine
fellows a very warm welcome when they
return. Show them that they are w 1
come and anewer any questions they ask
you. Should you not know the answer
take them to see someone who can do so,
Also, see that these fellows are enter

Supreme Court Dismisses
Editors’ Contempt Case
The Georgia Supreme ( ourt on Jan. 15
dismissed contempt of court charges
agaiuBt the Atlanta Constitution Editor
Ralph McGill and Mau.iging Editor Wil
liam H. Fields. They had been sentenced
to 20 days in jail by Floyd County Su¬
perior Court Judge il E. Nichole, An
unanimous opininn said “the rule for
contempt here involved shows on its
face that no grounds whatever to sustain
a conviction for coutempt existed.”
Shief Justice Duckworth wrote the
opinion, wh ch said: ••The publication
states plainly that it is taken from the
records in the State Patrol office (Would
anyone wish such public records kept by
an agency of ihs government concealed
from the ^public?”
The t'hief Justice sefs forth clearly in
his opinion that a newspaper has the
right to criticise elected public < fficials.

another fine industry and is ready to go

(Cleveland needs a traffic light installed
between Mary's Gift Shop and Biady’s
Servioe Station. Some people will be
against it just because The Courier ad
advocates it. Well, just what are they
trying to do for Cleveland?
Now that Talon has started employ¬
ment and work on the new $515,000
school building for Cleveland and the
$72,000 Cleveland Baptist Church will
soon start construction it would seem
that business will begin to show some
sign of life again and the businessmen
will then take that sour frown off then

Landrum Gets
Committee Posts
Washington. Jan, ly—Hep. Phil Land¬
rum of Jasper, the ninth Georgia dis¬
trict’s new member of Cosgrese, said to¬
day be sees an opportunity for great ser¬
vice not only to his district but to the en¬
tire state by his membeiship on the,Labor
and Education Committee.
Landrum was named late yesterday to
the 1 oinmittee, and thus became one of
the relatively-small number of minority
freshmen who landed 011 a no jor cemmit
lee in their first term
The ‘new congressman’s predecessor
Rep. John S. Wood, incidentially, served
on the same committee, and attained on
it a national reputation because of bis
interests in the field of vocational educa¬
tion and laboT legislation.
Landrum, for nine years a teacher and
school superintendent before entering the
practice of law, said he was “particularly
gratified” by his assignment to the com.
mitten because of the opportunity which
it would give him to wo k in .the interest
of education.
“I think,” he said, “that even a new
Member of Congress, I will be able to
make some contributions in this fieid.be
cause of my teaching background and be¬
cause of my deep interest, as a citizen
and a father, in the public school system
He also pointed out that the increasing
industrialization of Georgia and the ninih
district, and the potential indus riiil
growth of North Georgia because of ui w
jiower dams, will make labor questions of
more and more importance to the area
“I think I am fortunate.” he said, “and
I am grateful to my Georgia collesgues
fir their assistance in obtaining this seat
for me."
Landrum had wanted a Judiciary com¬
mittee assignment, but found early in
bis career that there would be no seats on
this committee for new-comers. He
studied the possibility of an assignment
either to Intoretate and Foreign Com¬
merce or Interior and Iusular Affairs
committees, but these groups, loo, were
fox the most part filled wiih old members

HAGGIS
Do you know how that Scotch deli¬
cacy Haggis is made? I have just
received straight from Glasgow a
recipe for Haggis. It sounds a little
ghastly to me. But here it is: “Stuff
the bag of a sheep’s stomach, half
filled with heart, liver and lungs all
minced up; then add Vi lb. suet,
onion, oatmeal and spices. Boil three
hours.”
From our good friends of the Ft.
Valley Leader-Tribune: “Story of
the week comes from Dr. Acquilla
Chamlee, who tells of the colored
funeral where all eyes were focused
admiringly upon the bereft widow.
Gabriel in heavy mourning, brand
new and in the latest fashion, she
was a credit to the dear departed
and to herself. Only one thing marred
an otherwise perfect picture of griev¬
ing widowhood. Instead of a hat the
bereaved wore a red rose tucked
over one ear. Curiosity ran high, and
once the last sad rites had ended,
friends fell eagerly upon the mourn¬
ing Ocilla to learn the reason for the
red rose booming amidst the widow’s
weeds. “Why,” said Ocilla coyly, “the
weeds is to show I is bowed low in
sorrow, and the red rose is to show
I is willing to be comforted.”
PLEASE NOTE

Many physicians do not frown
upon a highball before dinner. Some,
in fact, recommend it. Observed Dr.
Peter Steincrohn, “Some people can’t
relax for hours. They eat their meals
while still tied up in knots. A high¬
ball will relieve pent-up tension in
a few minutes and shunt your
thoughts from business and into
channels of evening relaxation.”

PASSING BY
If young men devoted more time
to analyzing the character of young
women whose proposals of marriage
they accept, there would be much
less activity in the divorce courts.
There is too much marrying in haste
and divorcing in haste. A major
cause of divorce is the excessively
nervous woman. according’ This type can be
easily detected to experts
on the subject. If a young woman
pouts it indicates she is a nervous
type and might prove difficult to live
with. The same is true of females
with eyes unusually far apart and
those having long curved eyelashes.

SITTING PRETTY
Cuba has over 6,000 millionaires.
That is the highest percentage of
millionaires in the world. Further¬
more, no Cuban is rated a million¬
aire unless he has at least a million
dollars in cash! The Cuban million¬
aire is sitting extremely pretty. He
usually has a town house in gay Ha¬
vana, a plantation out in the coun¬
try and a beach house at some lively
resort. He is only a half hour by air
from Miami. Only four and a half
hours from Broadway, Manhattan!

Are feminine legs losing their male
appeal ? Is the possession of a pair
of beautifully streamlined limbs now
of doubtful value to a girl ? Betty
Grable thinks so. Says Betty sadly:
“Legs are losing their appeal. The

up the feminine form to the realm
of the waist and I just can’t com¬
pete. I’ve always been able to stand
