107 Winnett Place
Santa Monica, Calif.
February 16, 1965
Mr, Jim Davidson
Cleveland, Georgia,
Dear Mr. Davidson:
Let me re-introduce myself. 1
was the Art Director for the 20th
Century Fox production of “I'd
Climb the Higest Mountain,” which
was filmed in your charming com¬
munity in 1957. It was for all of -us
a delightful experience, and I look
back with fond memories to the
friendly co-operation and help
which we received from you and
your kind neighbors. I shall never
forget the truly American tradi¬
tional character and historical val¬
ue of your farms and villages,
bridges and public buildings, and
l ,the vine covered fences winding
over rolling hills.
Since my retirement four years
ago, Mrs. Ransford and I spent
a year of travel in Europe
and 1 was impressed with the way
they are restoring many of their
landmarks so faithfully; and are
meeting the needs of moderization
and progress without losing the
age old charm of their historical
past. It has been brought to my
attention that your community is
contemplating the destruction of
the charming old court house in
Cleveland. It seems to me that
we in America are willfully tear¬
ing down too many reminders of
our glorious past, and I hope you
will not think it presumptuous of
me to strongly urge a revision of
your thinking in this regard. Can
we not save for posterity at least
this one example of “Americana?”
With all humble sincerity,
Marrice Ransford
P. S. — I am writing this to you
you are the publisher of the
newspaper, but I hope you. will be
good enough to see that Mr. Clif¬
Campbell, Mr. Roy Satterfield,
Mr. Lew Cooper and any other
influential citizens whom you think
it might concern, will be advised.
Illicit’ Sex Probe

S. 17 raided earlier this month in

have been ordered padlocked by
Atlantic Circuit Judge Henry Dur
rence.
Five men and six women were
arrested in raids at the two clubs

The River Club was raided after
being open for five weeks, the

six days.
City Receives Check
For $2,061.45
From Georgia Power
A check for $2,061.45 was de¬
livered February 23, 1965, to the
city of Cleveland by Mr. T. R.
Hall, Local Manager, Georgia Pow¬
er Company.
This tax payment represents
three peir cent of the gross receipts
in 1964 from the sale of electric
power, under the Municipal Part¬
nership Plan, to the company’s
commercial and residential cus¬
tomers in the city. It is in addition
to the company’s property taxes,
which on a statewide basis last
year totaled $8,306,000.
Topless Suit Okay
For Ping Pong
A1X-EN-PROVEN CE, France —
A model has won her right to
play ping pong in a topless bath¬
ing suit.
An appeals court ruled that
Claudine Durand, 21, did not “out¬
rage normal decency” when she
was arrested on a Riviera beach.
“The spectacle of nudity of the
human body is frequent in our
area for reasons of sport, health,
or aesthetics and in itself cannot
outrage normal decency, even by
the standards of the very sensi¬
tive,” the court ruled.
Miss Durand was appealing a
lower court eight-day suspended
jail sentence.

2 Million Diabetics
Unaware of Disease
WASHINGTON — The Public
Health Service says that at least
two million Americans have dia¬
betes and don’t know it.
The agency said Wednesday the
number of persons tested for dia¬
betes needs to be increased sharply
and testing programs should be
overhauled to focus on groups
more likely to have the disease.
Officials estimated that besides
the undetected cases, there are
about two million Americans with
known cases of the disease.
