WWW i if 4 1 uw i hi I fjt I yn7 'ft- area in the neighborhood of Form-wait, Crew, Georgia Avenue and Pryor Street elementary schools to raise the housing standard as a lever to "instill new hope in the occupants of the section "is the aim of a community committee for improvement, composed of teachers of the schools. Headed by Carl Stegall, Form-wait schoolteacher, the committee has conferred with Mayor Harts-field and proposes to take the drive for improvement of the area to the Atlanta Housing Authority in an effort to make the project an after-the-war must, Mrs. Stegall said yesterday. Mrs.

Stegall and her committee informed Hartsfield of the increasing incidents of juvenile delinquency, of arrests and law violations and told the mayor of overcrowded homes. OTHER STEPS PLANNED Committee members plan inter--iews with James D. Robinson chairman of the Housing Authority, and Hames H. Therrell, director of the housing body, to enlist the support of housing officials in extending the Capitol Homes, low-cost housing development, to wipe out "unsavory and unhealthy conditions which will affect the moral fiber of citizens if continued." Hartsfield told the women he has long recognized the need for reclamation of such areas and promised every aid possible in the undertaking. Not only are the women committed to an effort to obtain aid from governmental agencies in LADIES' BLOUSES My Jtat their drive to improve conditions, but they will also seek to interest private property owners in remodeling, it was pointed out.

Describing conditions as "intolerable," committee members told Hartsfield that in one instance which they surveyed 17 persons lived in six rooms. Other survey results showed: A mother, seven boys and a girl living in three rooms; 11 other persons living in four rooms, 10 persons in four rooms and in one instance four persons were said to sleep in one bed. ACTION PROMISED "We are going to do everything possible to reclaim this important area of Atlanta," Mrs. Stegall said. "This section of Atlanta is rich In history and is cloudy identified with the growth of our city.

It is a crime to allow it to deteriorate to a point where it is a liability to Atlanta rather than an asset, and to such a degree that its citizens lose their own self-respect and hope. "We are not blaming anyone for what has happened. All cities grow, and when they do certain sections become stagnant and then become blighted. We think there is hope of some real constructive service in our efforts and hope officials and the public will assist us." Other members of Mrs. Stegall's committee who conferred with the mayor included Miss Nelle Jones and Miss Louise Rankin, of Formwalt; Mrs.

Hera Rice and Miss Bobbie Dodd, of Crew; Mrs. C. H. Tyree and Miss Opal Willis, of Georgia Avenue, and Miss Jean-nette Topham, of Pryor. EMPLOYE RETIRES EAINBRIDGE, May 6.

Sfc- tip' I I all over the world as the popular song goes seven people who live in darkness and will not see those lights will have done their share in bringing the world out of darkness. For seven totally blind trainees now at the 426 Marietta street upgrading center are learning a job of rivet assorting which is one of the countless little things that add up to the super-bomber. The job, especially suitable to their sensitive fingers, of assorting rivets collected from sweepings, has three steps. For sweepings from the floor include all sorts of rivets of various head sizes, types (such as the flat head, round head, countersunk and brazier), lengths and materials, as aluminum and steel. OPERATE MACHINE Here is the job.

It demands patiens as well as skill. First, the rivets are separated according to headsize. The blind trainees operate a rivet assorting machine, designed by A. E. Elliott, assistant to R.

J. Limburg, head of the upgrading center, and constructed by trainees under Elliot's supervision out of salvage material. The blind worker feeds the rivets into the high end of the machine and by turning a crank causes the rivets to rotate around inside of a cylindrical sieve which has drilled holes of various sizes corresponding to the various diameters of the rivet heads. A rivet of a given head size falls through only the hole of that size into a bin below. Now having the rivets of the same head size together, the blind working on one head type at a time, eliminate all but the type they are then working on by feeling the rivet head.

If the rivet is of the head type they are assorting, they slide along the top vromm 9 Atlanlan's Dcalli In Italy Called 'Saddest byPyle "One of those incredible things that happen in ten billion possibilities," was Ernie Pyle's description C1 XT Ji LI Eyes Examined by a Licensed Physician 27 years' experience in fitting glasses in Atlanta We grind our own lenses, giving: every pair of glasses individual attention, thus assuring: perfect fit and corrective accuracy.

and Mrs. C. B. Allen, 1467 Richland road, S. who was killed March 26 in Italy.

In his column, "The Roving Reporter," Pyle, a war correspondent, ted the accident of Sergeant Allen, -59 nil irti Tii 1 1 iufi '-1 to Sergeant Allen are of the various lengths of the rivets. The rivets of a given length fall into the slot of that length. IMPROVISES MAGNET Riverts of the same head size, type and length have been collected together by the machine and by the knowing fingers of the blind. But how were they to separate them according to material steel or aluminum? One of the blind trainees figured that one out for himself. "I know how we can fix that," he said.

"I'll bring a magnet tomorrow. The magnet will attract the steel rivets." It worked out perfectly. The seven blind trainees, including two brothers who were auto mechanics, a husband and wife team, and three others, all make it plain that they do not want sympathy but are doing a war job just like any other war worker. FORMER AUTO MECHANICS Joe Mosteller, of Catersville, went through the training center as a regular trainee. When a job opened for blind trainees, he thought of his two blind brothers with whom he had been known in the road construction business as the "Mosteller Brothers." Max and L.

B. maintained and serviced the trucks of the company, and a plant worker who knew the brothers in Catersville said: "They were the best automobile mechanics in North Georgia." Later the three brothers mined in Bartow county for manganese, iron ore and ochre. Guy Brown, and his wife Bonnie, of Atlanta, worked together at the Atlanta Community Center for the blind where they made brooms. John D. Croker and Robert Ellenberg worked there before coming to Bell, too.

Albert Williams, Atlanta, says that he never had a regular job like rivet assorting before just like rent-collecting. "But we don't want sympathy," said Williams. "We are doing a regular job and I hope we do it well so that other blind can have similar jobs." They are doing their job well, say their supervisors. Not only that but they have infinite patience and their skilled fingers do their job with determination. If they drop so much as one rivet, they stoop down and feel around and find it, before going on.

Allen was also highly commended by his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel J. R. Pritchard, who in a letter to Allen's parents, described the sergeant as "a good soldier and a fine pilot." Pritchard, who inclosed Pyle's column about Allen in iiis letter, advised that the Air Medal will be posthumously awarded Allen. Allen's mother received the news of his death while at the Ponce de Leon infirmary.
