Peoples Bank Plans
for New Building
IN Sping
At the recent annual stock¬
holders meeting of the Peoples
Bank they voted to construct a
new bank building on the lateCol
(J- H. Edwards home property in
‘Cleveland, which the bank owns.
Very modern facilities will be
included, such as drive-in win
• dows for bank deposits, accord¬
ing to Clyde Dixon, Cashier Also
•ample parking for customers.
Mr. Dixon states that an archi
itect will meet with the directors
next week and plans now are to
start construction sometime m
the spring.
The bauk was organized in
July 1947 when Cleveland was
forging ahead at a rapid speed.
Weather Control
Held Boon, Peril
Washington. (XJPI) —Senator Cliutoo P.
Anderson (D), New Me*., has called
weather control “the ultimate we&poo"
which could be used to “bring the United
States to her knees."
Anderson, who will head the Congres¬
sional Atomic c ODttm ittee this session,
participated in a “Resources for the Fu
tare Forum" last night with two weather
scientists. They agreed that climate con¬
trol is at least dimly foreseeable.
Such control could be a boon to man¬
kind. But, Ana ereou warned, it could be
forged into a weapon far more terrible
than the H-bomb'or the intercontinental
missile.
An enemy armed wrth "such a diaboli
cal weapon, he said, could manipulate the
weather "to deny us our dinking water or
our wheat crop, to freeze us or burn us
op, to flood our cities and scorch our
farms."
“Are we in America prepared lo deal
with such a weapon f” Audereou asked
‘‘For that matter, do the United Nations
possess a capability in this field 1 ”
“I doubt it, and that doubt impels me
to suggest that a high older prioiity
might well be assigned to the study of
weather coniiol."

Severe Earthquakes
Coming to Georgia
By Frank Wells
You may think you've been all
shook up, but consider the people
of New Madrid, Mo., back in 1811.
They managed somehow to live
through an earthquake which lasted
lor 15 months. Nobody really knows
the extent of the damage or the loss
of life, as the area was sparsely
populated at the time. The 'quake
did change the course of the mighty
Mississippi.
What brought ali this up was a re¬
port by Dr. Charles S. Richter ot
the California Institute of Tech¬
nology. Dr, Richter, who is con¬
sidered one of the nation’s leading
seismologists, released a map show¬
ing the areas where the most
damaging earthquakes in the coun¬
try might sometime be expected.
Spang in the Middle Sits Atlanta
And Atlana and all of north Geor¬
gia is right spang in the middle of
the map.
And all that granite? Weil, it was
too much. I went over to the State
Department of Geology, Mines and
Mining and talked to the experts
over there including Capt. Garland
Peyton, and Drs. A. S. Furcron and
Vernon J. Hurst.
Dr. Furcron agreed that Dr. Rich¬
ter was the best In his field, but
“he’s been to general this time.
He evidently is cartographically
connecting up the New Madrid
earthquake and the earthquake in
Charleston, S. C., in 1886 and the
belt includes this area.’’
Dr. Richter did hedge in his re¬
port. He said that individual small
areas could not be judged from his
map but should have a detailed
study made. He also emphasized
that his map had nothing to do
with frequency, but with possible
severity of the earth cracking
shakes.
New York City Gets Shook, Too
New York City is in an area next
below Atlanta’s in possible severity,
but Atlanta’s area is in the top sev¬
erity shading.
Dr. Hurst explained that there
were plenty of "faults” in Georgia,
those dividing lines in the earth’s
crust where shifts have taken place
in the past. "But they are all ‘dead’
faults; they haven’t moved much in
years and give no indication of any
shifting.”
Just to set your mind at ease.,
there never has been an earth¬
quake in Georgia that did any con¬
siderable damage, although tre¬
mors are recorded throughout the
Appalachian area with regularity.
North Georgia’s base of granite
would enable it to stand a pretty
severe shock without much
damage.
The Georgia geologists believe
that the whole state is relatively
safe from earthquakes, although
south Georgia, with its base of marl
and other substances not as dense
as granite, might suffer more if
a big shake came.
Steady, boy!

Congressman Landrum
Fights For Veterans Loans
Congremiiin Phil Landrum advises
from Washington that strong support is
developing for legislation to reverse the
Veterans Administration Home Loao
Program an that the program will better

says tbit surveys made by the House
Committee on Veterans Affairs show that
Veterans Administration Guaranteed
Loans tor housing are available in most
metropolitan areas but that such loansare
usually veiy difficult to obtain in small
towns and nearly impossible in rural
areas.
According to a report furnished Con¬
gressman Landrum by John M. Slaton,
Manager of ttie Atlanta VA Regional Of¬
fice, about twenty-six hundred Georgia
veterans arc now on the waiting list for
direct loans because the* are unable to
obtain housing loans uober the loan
guaranty ,n ovisions of the act.
Legislation authorizing up to one hun¬
dred fifty millions of dollars additional
for the purpose of servicing the back log
f applications from veterans in small
towns ahd rural areas has been intro¬
duced and referred to the House Commit¬
tee on Veterans Affairs. Landrum says

mittee in January or early February
