Man Moves From Slum To Modern Thomasville Home
George McCant, 73, displaced from a condemned Church Street hovel, moves into a federally financed three room apartment at the Thomasville Church Homes project off Jacob Street. He left a two room, waterless, electrified-less dwelling infested by rats for water lights a stove a tub and a refrigerator in his new unit. Local officials led by housing inspector Bobby Hall coordinated the move with social services help and furniture ready from their offices. McCant, once a gravedigger and laborer, lives alone and awaits meals as he adapts to the modern conveniences and the question of food.

Delay on Rainy Highway Sparks Child Support Case
In Cologne Germany a Frankfurt salesman gave a ride to a young woman and her two children. Their car broke down in the rain and a mechanic failed to arrive for two hours. A year later the woman seeks child support from the garage for the baby, but the court ruled the garage not responsible as it is not part of highway patrol.
