Social Worker Held After Tot Is Found In Garbage Can A 33year old social worker who is studying for a master's degree ran into a social problem she couldn't solve and has admitted, according to police, to abandoning her two-hour old baby in a garbage can near her apartment. She is Miss Annie Laura Wims, a graduate of three colleges, whose arrest by sheriff's deputies at Cleveland Psychiatric Hospital came after a sweeping investigation in the case. Miss Wims has been Indicted by the county grand Jury. A married man living in the South was named in the case. He and his wife had reportedly aided Miss Wims in her struggle to obtain the master's degree. Apparently she had come to Cleveland pregnant to continue her effort to get a master's degree. But the baby interrupted the struggle. The baby was found crying in the garbage can near an apartment building by Ernest Jackson, 31, cus todian of the building. Jackson was summoned by Mrs. Marporie Payne, 26, a resident, who complained that she heard strange noises coming from the garbage can. Authorities said "a stroke of fate" saved the infant's life, Instead of poking the garbage can with a stick, Jackson decided to dump the contents into another can. Had he poked in the can, he might have snuffed out the baby's life. As it turned out, the baby was placed In an incubator at St. Vincent Charity Hospital and was doing fine, at last report. After the baby was found, wrapped in a brown paper bag, in the garbage can, authorities started the investigation. They interviewed several women, including Miss Wims, all of whom lived in the apartment building but found no clue. However, Miss Wims later admitted abandoning the baby after she had voluntarily gone to Fairhill Psychiatric hospital for treatment. Last week she pleaded guilty before Common Pleas Judge Daniel H. Wasserman and was ordered held for a probation report, A report was also awaited from a psychiatric clinic.

BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENT SOLD ALL OVER THE WORLD BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENT Demonstrates How to Build Cheap House Without Bricks Or Mortar A do it yourself system of house building was introduced here last week by an inventor who guarantees that it is foolproof. Joseph N. Blair a former Ford Motor company foundry worker and now a hotel keeper and inventor. demonstrated that it is possible to build self aliening walls that are sturdy and insulated by simply placing? one block atop another It's just like working with the building blocks that kids use, Blair said. Emphasizing that no knowledge of building construction is required, he said that the method is so sample that even a person who can't real can follow the instructions and end up with a comfortable, habitable house. At a press conference at Veterans Memorial, he demonstrated his own concept of how he would go about housing the masses in such places as Africa, where skilled labor is scarce and even modern American - made prefabricated housing is impractical. Using wooden blocks which he had shaped with a single power tool in his basement, he showed how two unskilled men could build a five - room house in eight hours — at far less cost than a conventional house of equal strength and appearance. Blair's blocks are in four bade forms, each of which is shaped to be self - aligning through tongue -and - groove edges and interlocking features. All a father and son in any undeveloped area must do is to stack the blocks by number without mortar or other sealing intent at the joints. Blocks are shaped so that their own weight holds them firmly in place. They are laid at 45 - degree angles so that interior and exterior walls appear to be formed of diamond - shaped pieces. When the wall is completed stabilizer reds are run down through holes in the blocks. Concrete then is poured into these holes. Other holes remain open to be used as raceways for wires and insulation. "Laying the blocks in my home" Blair said, "is just like a bricklayer laying a basement and not having to be bothered with mortar or a plumb line. "A man may not even be able to read or write, but he can certainly stack blocks. He can build a house." Blair said that the blocks could be cast of sand, clay or cement — whatever is available in the area where the building is contemplated. Foundations and roof would be of conventional material and method, he said. Blair's demonstration was in the presence of James Conway, assistant director of the Detroit office of the Federal Housing Administration and Al Marvin, chief architecture advisor for the office. Others present included Truman Gibson Jr., of Chicago, lawyer and insurance company executive who is working with two U. S. companies on homes for undeveloped areas. Gibson said that the prime need is for a method of housing that would use local unskilled labor and materials, and that Blair's method appears to have great potential. He said that shipping costs of $49,050 on 12 U S prefabricated homes sent to Africa made this method impractical. Although he has only a seventhgrade education, Blair was given a Certificate of Award by the National Inventors Conference in 1952, and on three different occasions dating back to 1928 has journeyed to Washington with inventions involving advanced types of submarines, propellers and impellers for aircraft and rockets.

ELEANOR Dear Eleanor: Now and then, I hear a bit about The Door of Hope. I understand that it is now a chartered organiation and soon plans a drive to build. Our club is interested in helping to decrease the number of illigitimate births. Will you tell us a bit about the history of this organiation? Civic Worker Mrs. B. Many citizens are now inquiring about this project and I am happy to relate its history — although it is a long story. Several series, stories, etc., have been published in The Atlanta Daily World by Eleanor, Mr. George Coleman, Mr. Paul Delaney, and Mr. Samuel Adams. Dr. T. J. Flanagan has written an editorial on the subject also. Eleanor, when writing a column of Heart and Home Problems received as many as fifteen letters per week from unmarried mothers in distress seeking information as to where they might get help at a very needed time. Early in 1954 Mrs. Thelma Session called Eleanor and introduced herself as one who is sincerely interested in the plight of these girls and young women, The two of us chatted for half an hour or more during which conversation Mrs. Session revealed that she had recently been contacted by a Mrs. W. H. of Boston, Mass., to become a resident nurse at a Nursing Home. Realizing the great need to do something about the problem of Illegitimate births in Georgia, she expressed that altho the Boston Job afforded rather good pay, the problem of girls in great distress weighed very heavily upon her heart. In the spring of 1955, officials Mr. Scanlin and a Mr. Reed of the Community Chest held a long conference with these citizens concerning this grave problem. A local artist. Mr. Jack Adams agreed to do two sketches of profiles of colored girls and Eleanor via library research published the story of The Florence Crittenton Homes, how they function, etc. From time to time letters from girls in distress were published in The World. And girls were referred to our local Child Service Association. This organization gave help and aided by sending several girls to northern homes in Kansas City and Detroit, Mich. An increasing number of citizens by then were becoming concerned with the predicament of these unfortunate people, so interest spread and by November 1958, a small group of Practical Nurses grew more and more interested thru the insistence of Mesdames Session and Lizzie Smith. These nurses raised $92.30. Miss X was placed in a home here in the city Money, food, baby clothing were given Miss X. On Dec. 31, 1958, Miss Y was placed in the home of a family three months prior to the birth of her baby, and one month afterward. This organization known among the members as The Unwed Expectant Mothers' Club again gave layette items and her hospital bill was totally paid. In the home of this warm-hearted citizen Mrs. T. G. session, the girl and baby were looked after as tho they were members of the family in spite of Mrs. Session's limited income. On November 23, 1958, the Instructor of L.P.N.C. of a local school and Mrs. Jessie Trice along with a group of nurses met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Smith, Sr., 195 W. Lake Dr., N.W., Atlanta, Ga., and a committee was elected to bring in bi-laws and to select a name for the organization. This committee met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Smith, 1047 Mason Turner Ave. Seven or more officers were elected. And the name was changed to Unwed Mothers' Rehabilitation Society (UMRS). All along members of our still small group dropped out for various reasons. But in April, 1959, five numbers of UMRS were granted opportunity to meet with The Frontiersmen at their Tuesday evening dinner in The Blue Room at Joe's Coffee Bar. These members were Mesdames Thelma Sessions, Georgia Gay, Lizzie Smith, V. Scott Ellis and the now deceased Mrs. Marie Finch Simonton. Mrs. Thelma Session introduced by their advisor and reporter, Mrs. V. Scott Ellis, was well received by the Frontiersmen. A pleasant evening was spent. And Mr. Jesse O. Thomas was later elected by UMRS to be the official advisor and chairman to spear-head the project. Mr. Thomas through his wide experience and "know-how" and Messrs. "Bennett and Crittenton gave new depth and precipitated greater momentum for Georgians to aid in facing the great task of rehabilitating the distressed mother and helping her to face life. More details will be published in next weeks column. We will cover the following points: 1. The Breakfast and Big Barbecues at the Anderson home on Simpson Rd. 2. Early efforts and member ships. 3. How did the Door of Hope get its name? 4. Meetings at the GTEA building and the YWCA. 5. Miss Louise Allen's trips to Atlanta. 6. The charter; and Mr. Jesse O. Thomas, and other Frontiersmen's answer to our call for help. 7. The Executive Board, its members, etc. "You Can't Take It With You" Dear Eleanor: Now and then, I hear a bit about The Door of Hope.

Lake Dr., N.W., Atlanta, Ga., and a committee was elected to bring in bi-laws and to select a name for the organization. This committee met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Smith, 1047 Mason Turner Ave. Seven or more officers were elected. And the name was changed to Unwed Mothers' Rehabilitation Society (UMRS). All along members of our still small group dropped out for various reasons. But in April, 1959, five numbers of UMRS were granted opportunity to meet with The Frontiersmen at their Tuesday evening dinner in The Blue Room at Joe's Coffee Bar. These members were Mesdames Thelma Sessions, Georgia Gay, Lizzie Smith, V. Scott Ellis and the now deceased Mrs. Marie Finch Simonton. Mrs. Thelma Session introduced by their advisor and reporter, Mrs. V. Scott Ellis, was well received by the Frontiersmen. A pleasant evening was spent. And Mr. Jesse O. Thomas was later elected by UMRS to be the official advisor and chairman to spear-head the project. Mr. Thomas through his wide experience and "know-how" and Messrs. "Bennett and Crittenton gave new depth and precipitated greater momentum for Georgians to aid in facing the great task of rehabilitating the distressed mother and helping her to face life.

AFRICA JAIL CELL FOR'BLACK PIMPERNEL An unrepentant Nelson Mandella, the "Black Pimpernel" behind a massive scheme to thwart South Africa's segregation laws, was sentenced test week to five years in a Pretoria Jail. A lawyer and former secretary of the banned African National Congress, Mandella was found guilty of incitement and leaving the country without permission. "If I had my time over again, I would do it again— —so would any man who called himself a man," Mandella sadd in an emotional last minute statement. He said his conscience made it imperative for him to oppose laws which were "unjust, immoral and intolertable," Mandella spoke at length on how he had striven to emancipate black Africans and of the "frustrations and insults" heaped on him by officials whose "white skin" was their only qualification for their positions. Chicago Girl, 11, Gives Birth To Son In the third such case in Chicago's history, an 11-year-old Negro girl gave birth to a 7 pound, 12-ounce son at Presbyterian-St. Luke's ospltal recently. A hospital spokesman said that the birth was "fairly normal" and the young mother and her son were discharged four days after the Oct. 16 birth. The girl was brought to the hospital while she was in labor, the spokesman said. He added that the only complication in the birth was high blood pressure. Medical authorities said that giving birth at the age of 11 is not considered very rare, but that this case was unusual because the girl showed no signs of maturity when she became pregnant. It was also rare for a girl that young to give birth here. The mother, whose name was not released, and her son were reportedly doing fine. The youngest birth on record in the world accured 23 years ago when a 5-year-old Peruvian girl, Linda Medina, had a son.

Findings Two colorfully-dressed women from Togo, one the sister-in-law of the country's President and the other a leading businesswoman, were in Chicago last week as part of their current tour of the United States, which they said has been quite interesting. Mrs. Louise Olympio, assistant to the minister of social welfare and a sister-in-law of President Sylvanus Olympio, and Mrs. Theodora Deckon, a top-ranking wholesale importer and trader, are participants in the Leaders Program of the U. S. State Department. Mrs. Olympio, who speaks both English and French, is interested in all phases of social work. Mrs. Deckon, vice president of the Togolese Women's union, is chiefly concerned with various phases of trade and commerce. Interestingly enough, however, their main interests seems to overlap, Mrs. Olympio, also a member of the Togolese Women's union, expresses an interest in business. In a like manner, Mrs. Deckon shows great concern for projects in the social work field. Dressed in their national attire, the two visitors were quick to confirm the generally accepted idea that women play the major role in business and national economy in Togo which is true in most of the independent West African countries. Most of the women traders in Togo, they explained, are independent operators. Mrs. Deckon, who handles textiles, hardware and dry goods, is one of the tiny nation's 20 top women importers of wholesale goods. Most do an annual business in excess of $600,000. Other women handle small retail business, in which there is a great deal of competition. While they admit that some young men work as clerks in the stores, the women run the show. Many women sell their ware in large outdoor market places. Much of this rapidly expanding business Is carried out with little or no advertising, which might seem unusual to Americans. While the large firms and supply houses with which the women deal provide some advertising, there is very little of the type that one might expect to find in newspapers or on the radio. Some of the smaller, non-government publications may carry ads from time to time, but the government owned Togo press and radio service have no connection with private enterprise, they explained. Togo, which becare independent April 26, 1960, is a former French United Nations trusteeship. The country is situated on the western caost of Africa, bounded on the north by Ghana, on the west by the Voltaic Republic and on South by Dahomey. It is approximately 21,893 square miles in area and the UN estimated population is 1,100,000. Mrs. Olympio and Mrs. Deckon pointed out that since the country is still newcomer to the family of nations, social centers are limited, with many Just getting underway. Like most African states, Togo is deeply concerned about education and a university, located in the _ capital, Lome, has already been started.
