along the Ogeechee River and
fired
Mrs. Goodman’s husband, who
had taken a position some dis
tance away, said he came running
up when the shot was fired and

100-Day Faster
Dies In 92 Days
•
BIRMINGHAM. Ala. (/P)—Per
cy Coplin. who started what he
said would be a 100-day fast on
Sept. 25, died early today.
Percy, a jocular five-by-five
who weighed 357 pounds at the
start, had gone 92 days without
food. His weight had dropped to
245 pounds.
Coplon spent most of the fast in
a small house atop a 30-foot pole
at his home. Last Sunday he came
down because of dizziness and
said he would finish his 100-day
fast in his home.
His dizziness diminished and
Percy was in good spirits yester
day. He lapsed into unconscious
ness just before midnight, how
ever falling to the floor in his
bathroom.
Percy told reporters at the
start of his fast that he hoped to
prove that the human body can
heal itself without medicine if it
is given the chance.
He had announced he would
begin taking food next week,
starting with a spoon of orange
juice.

Wickersham said that as a re
sult of his trip he believes Alaska
has these needs:
Statehood, more defense instal

shipping of all kinds; for workers
to work longer hours during the
“short” or warm weather season;
continued exploration for oil and
gas.
Recodification of homotst e a d
laws and completion of land sur
veys; greater conservation of nat
ural resources; development of
mineral resources; increased ex
port to the mainland of such ma
terials as peat moss; more subsi
dized water shipping.
Expansion of the Alaska Rail
road, with a line across western
Canada being opened; completion
of the Alcan Highway; more tour
ist business: establishment of in
dustries to supply building ma
terials; additional refrigeration
facilities for perishable products;
production of more poultry; fur
ther development of Alaskan In
dian arts and crafts.
The Nome Hardware Store has
just completed a new office of in
creased size to take care of their
expanding business. The location
of the new office also gives the
store increased space for needed
additional display room.
