Has she tried the news archive on Google using the name of family member
and Atlanta newspapers. In 1925 the Atlanta constitution and the Atlanta
journal where separate newspapers.

	Tracy: Your question is not a long shot if you are wondering
about who in Atlanta might respond to your request. We are here in the
Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, and like all of us, we get these kinds of
questions all the time. "It was in the paper, but I don't really know
when." As far as I know there is not index to the Atlanta papers from
about 1925 to 1985. We have in our Special Collections a hand made
subject and name index on a million 8X6 cards for the AJC from
1939-1979. As far as I know this is the only index that exists for the
AJC for these years. It is not particularly easy to use or to maintain.
And it often produces no results what so ever. With all that said, I
will search for Edward Hicks in it and see what happens. If it turns up
some results, I will contact you directly. 

	And of course, if the patron can offer any more clues about the
editorial, such as a subject, that might provide other avenues of
approach.

	I have a patron who wants to try to find a letter to the editor
of the Atlanta Journal & Constitution that his father wrote in the
1950s. He does not know any more about the date but says it was printed
in the paper and "caused quite a stir". The writer was named Edward (Ed)
Hicks. I tried the online archives searching by Edward Hicks and Ed
Hicks but without a paid subscription I couldn't access much. Does
anyone have a fuller access than I do and might be able to do a search?
I know it's a long shot but thought I would throw it out there.
