Firing of Miss Farabee Triggers City Recreation Debate
In Thomasville officials clash over who runs the recreation department after Miss Margie Farabee, Carver Park director, is fired for alleged performance issues. The Recreation Commission, under John Carter, had directed Miss Farabee’s dismissal via Recreation Director Anne Sherrill, while city manager Peter F. Lydens backs centralized control by the city council. Miss Farabee seeks to tell her side amid calls to bring recreation under city oversight. Fire department officers receive gold badges, a shift from silver shields, as part of a dress-up initiative led by City Manager Lydens. Comments from the public requested.

Workers and press toured the modernizing facility detailing pot lines, carbon anodes, and the hydraulic press shaping blocks weighing about a half-ton.
