By JACK J. COOK
MACON—The Rev. Rudolph
E. Grantham of Glenwood is

chaplain of Savannah’s Can
dler General Hospital at the
annual South Georgia Confer
ence of the United Methodist
Church meeting here.
Selected by the hospital’s
board of trustees, he will like
ly be appointed to the post
by Bishop John Owen Smith.
He would succeed the Rev.
Roy J. Bond, who has been
the hospital’s chaplain for six
years. Mr. Bond is retiring
from the active ministry for
health reasons. He has been
a minister for 30 years.
Mr. Grantham has beer
pastor of the Glenwood Meth
odist Church for the last three
years.
In his annual report to the
conference, Mr. Bond an
nounced his retirement and
expressed appreciation to his
fellow members of the South
Georgia Conference, the hos
pital staff, administrator,
trustees, doctors, nurses and
volunteers in the hosoital serv
ice.
"As I leave the ranks of
the active ministry,” Mr.
Bond said, "it is with mixed
emotions: joy, victory, high
expectations, disappointment,
uncertainty, perhaps some
fear, but with a firm faith in

Retiring
God and my fellow man, and
still with a keen desire to be
useful . . . especially do I
want to be helpful to the
church and to Candler Hospi
tal .. . and to my successor
in particular.”
Crowding facilities and an
ticipation for expanded serv
ice capabilities were reported
by R. J. Marsh, administra
tor of the hospital, in his re
port prepared for delivery to
the conference.
The building program of the
hospital is ahead of schedule,
Marsh stated. It is expected
the hospital will open 58 new
hospital beds on the third and
fourth floors of the Chatham
Apartments building, the new
Minis-Gilmer diagnostic and
treatment center and the
maintenance and boiler plant
building by early fall.
The hospital treated 12,099
patients, exclusive of 1,445
newborns, during 1967. There
were 6,975 operations per
formed. The hospital had 77,-
689 patient-days of care.
There were gross revenues
of $4,203,300 during the year,
94.8 per cent of which came
from charges to patients, and
the remainder from miscella
neous sources.
GOLD LOSS REPORTED
The federal government has
paid about $2.2 billion of the

The State Capitol was ever
more dead last Friday, when we
were walking around hunting
some political news. Seemed as
if at least half of the employees
were gone. What happened was
that Thursday, May 30, was a
holiday, as was Monday, June 3,
so a lot of folk took Friday
against their annual leave and
thusly had a 5-day holiday per
iod. Sho’ made it hard on the
news media, though, for unless
the politicians are there to talk
with, you can’t find out much.

The appointment of Asa Kelley,
Director of the State Prison
Commission, to be Superior Court
Judge in Albany was an excellent
choice of Governor Maddox’s.
Mr. Kelley has a brilliant legal
mind, and, as everybody knows,
he only took the prison job in the
hope of getting a judicial ap
pointment. He wanted to be
on one of the appellate courts,
but the Superior Court is a good
stepping stone. He has already
qualified for nomination in the
September Democratic primary
and is not likely to have oppo
sition, since the Albany Bar rec
ommended him to the governor.

Al Hatcher, Deputy State In
surance Commissioner, has de-
cided against running for Con
gressman in the First District.
Although he received a tremen
dous amount of encouragement
to make the race, including sub
stantial financial support, from
nearly every county in the dis
trict, Mr. Hatcher decided that
his business interests would suf
fer if he was elected and would
then have to spend most of his
time in Washington. Hatcher has
a large number of rental apart
ments in Athens, plus a big shop
ping center going up at Dublin,
all of which he has developed
over the past ten years.
Apparently, now, Congressman
Elliott Hagan will not have any
serious opposition for the Demo
cratic nomination.
Court of Appeals Judge George
Whitman, Sr., who was appointed
to the post by Gov. Maddox, says
that he’ll stay in the race to the
end, in spite of strong opposition
from Attorney Bill Norton, of
Gainesville. Rumors have been
going around that Judge Whit
man, who is over 80, would not
seek re-election if he had an op
ponent.
Mr. Norton will give the elder
ly jurist a tough race, and quite
a few lawyers to whom we have
talked sav that he’ll win. These
lawyers tell us that Judge Whit
man is considered by the Bar of
Georgia to be too old to be at all
effective on the Court of Appeals,
and that he shouldn’t run. He
has a high pension from his
many years on the Superior
Court bench in Atlanta, plus he
could still do all the work he
wanted to as Judge Emeritus.

Veteran politician Fred Hand,
of Pelham, former Speaker of
the Georgia House, has qualified
for the Senate seat being vacated
by Bill Flowers, of Thomasville.
Attorney Frank Vann, of Camil
la, also in Mitchell County, is
running for the post, too, which
means that the longtime political
rivalry between the two largest
towns in the county will wax hot
and furious again.

Recently, we wrote about the
work incentive program which
Bill Burson, Director of the State
Dept, of Family and Children’s
Services, and Sam Caldwell,
State Labor Commissioner, are
trying to get started in three
Georgia cities to give job train
ing to mothers drawing public
welfare. Well, the program is
about to come a cropper, be
cause Wilson Wilkes, Director of
the Budget, says that it’s a new
program and he can’t okay the
$170,000 needed. Mr. Burson says,
however, that it is not new, that
it’s merely a re-phasing of an
OEO program to work incentive.
At any rate, it’s held up so far
until Attorney-General Arthur
Bolton renders an opinion.

SILLY REMARK OF THE
WEEK — Atlanta Mayor Ivan
Allen, Jr. made a speech the
other day in which he declared
that Atlanta stores shut their
The Pembroke Journal. Thursday, June 6, 1968—1
doors when Martin Luther King,
Jr. was killed OUT OF RE
SPECT FOR DR. KING. If that
were so, why didn’t Rich’s and
the other big Atlanta stores close
their branches in Cobb and De-
Kalb Counties? Mayor Allen, and
everybody else, knows that they
closed their Atlanta stores purely
because they were afraid of riots
and arson.
Presidential candidate George
Wallace will make a major ad
dress in Atlanta on June 13.
Preceding his speech will be a
$25 per person fund raising din
ner at the Marriott Hotel. On
June 16, Wallace will appear on
the national television program,

way to get better quality eggs
to Georgia housewives. They do
it by oiling the eggs as soon
as possible after the hens lay
taem.
What does oil have to do with
egg quality? According to C.
Jerry Cox, Cooperative Exten
sion Service poultry market
ing specialist, oil does not in
crease egg quality. It simply
helps hold the quality already
in freshly laid eggs.
“More and more quality egg
programs are requiring oiling of
eggs because of its protection
advantage,” Mr. Cox said. In
a new Extension Service publi
cation entitled “Oil Those
Eggs,” Mr. Cox offers egg pro
ducers and processors informa
tion on how to oil eggs, when
t“ apply oil and suggestions on
equipment and costs.
Fresh, clean, light-weight
colorless, odorless and tasteless
mineral oil sprayed on the eggs
is the recommended method of
application, Mr. Cox said. Oil
ing not only protects quality, it
also gives all eggs a uniform
appearance.
