REPLACES ANNE MURRAY
Larry Gatlin grabs attention
By KATHY 8TKFFAN8
Just days before the event, it
was revealed that Anne
Murray wouldn't be appearing
at her scheduled concert at the
Civic Center in Atlanta Friday
night. Alex Cooley announced,
however, that her opening act.
Larry Gatlin, would be taking
over star billing and have an
opening act of his own. a
little-known female vocalist
named Charlie McLain
I was upset to say the least I
at least know something about
Anne Murray; my knowledge
of her replacement was
minimal I found out this about
him Friday night, though; he
can lay out some fine progres
sive country and grab an
audience's attention for keeps
in the progress
As it turns out. most of those
I talked to had come to see
him especially, not Anne
Murray They promised me I
Be energy-conscious

wouldn't go away unhappy,
and they were right; I was
very impressed Gatlin is a
good singer, a fine acoustic-
guitarist. and has an excellent
group of musicians backing
him. including his two broth
ers, Steve and Rudy
He also has tremendous
rappott with the audience
Gatlin spent quite a bit of time
talking to them and handling
his hecklers He was even nice
Onstage
If you have a broken faucet which is leaking at one drop per
second, you are wasting 700 gallons of water per year, according
to Anne Wood. Georgia Power customer education representative
and home economist
Wood recently presented Ga. Power’s ‘Conservation Makes
Sense” program, which advocates economical energy conserva
tion. at Magnolia Senior (’enter
"It is becoming more and more important that we conserve
energy." she said. "Electricity does not just come out of the air
as many people think We use coal. oil. and water to produce it,
and we must remember that these natural resourc es are
limited .’’
If people become aware of electrical costs and how much
electricity they waste daily, they can save money wisely by
cutting down electrical use. according to Wood
"When you flip on a light switch, bake a cake in an electric
oven, or listen to radio news, you have made the decision to buy
electricity." he said "As the cost of electricity increases, we
must learn how to efficiently use less."
Wood claims that in every American home there are both
economical energy appliances and expensive ones
Kitchen appliances such as coffee makers and blenders and
beauty appliances such as hair dryers and curling irons are
relatively cheap to use since their operation requires a minimal
amount of electricity, she stated
Examples of more expensive energy use are heating, air con
ditioning. cooking, and refrigeration. Wood added
"Think before using these energy devices if you want to save
money." she stated. "Don’t boil a full kettle of water if you only
want one cup of tea Toast your bread in a toaster, not the oven
broiler Decide what you want to eat or drink betore you open the
refrigerator door "
While washing clothes in hot water with a warm rinse costs 31
cents per load and washing in warm water with a cold rinse costs
11 cents per load, washing clothes in cold water with a cold rinse
costs only two cents per load, according to Wood
"A penny can buy a surprising amount of energy ’’ Wood said
"For one cent you can mix 10 recipes, open 2.500 cans, shower
for one minute, or use an electric blanket for four hours "
Wood recommended using an electric blanket for two cents a
night or 60 cents a month rather than a small electric heater for
$1 a night or $30 per month
She believes that electrical bills can be cut if people conserve
heat wisely during the winter
"Why would you want to waste money by heating your whole
home when an economical electric blanket can keep you
warmer?" asked Wood. "To conserve heat, install storm
windows during the winter, attach weather stripping to the
bottom of your doors, and sit by the inner walls of your home
instead of the outer ones
She Tllso suggested that fireplaces cut electrical costs, but
added that firewood also costs money.
Wood said that when women began to return to America’s
working force in 1964. family energy use greatly increased
"Former luxury items have become necessities for working
women." she said "Spending more time out of the home now.
they need convenient hairdryers and curling irons as well as
time-saving dishwashers and electric ovens "
If there is a flux in customers' monthly electric bills. Wood
said that she would advise them to evaluate their energy use
"If the weather is hot enough for an air conditioner, if you have
guests in your home, or if you buy and use new and more
appliances, you will, of course, be using more energy." she said.
A frost-free refrigerator may be more convenient for a
housewife, but it is expensive to use. according to Wood
"Energy bills will rise even higher when a family buys a
frost-free refrigerator and places their old lockbox in the
basement to store large quantities of meat, vegetables, oi
beverages." she added
Wood urged students to unplug everything when they leave
their dormitory rooms or apartments for any length of time
She stressed that everyone should be an energy conservation
ist
"One alert family member or one roommate is simply not
enough . " Wood said "Those of us w ho are energy-conscious
must strive to make others aware of the difference between
wasteful and wise energy use "
when a woman walked out
on-stage in the middle of a
song and demanded an auto
graph
Gatlin did a number of songs
I was unfamiliar with, but it
didn't really matter The
audience screamed wildly for
each and every one
At one point. Gatlin sent the
band offstage and did a solo
stint for forty minutes Con
sisting mainly of sad songs and
ballads, it was a moving
segment of the show
The show was opened by-
Charlie McLain, a country
singer who can belt out a song
in the manner of Ethel
Merman Her set was made up
largely of cover versions of
well-known country and rock
songs and were characterized
by gutsy vocals and terrific
band arrangements In some
cases, however, notably her
own compositions. McLain's
set dragged But for the most
part, her rollicking country
beat kept the audience clap
ping and stomping throughout
the set
Though the promised head
liner did not appear, her
absence was more than ade
quately filled by Larry Gatlin
While originally billed as Anne
Murray's supporting act. Gat
lin proved that he is more than
capable of providing an
evening’s worth of entertain
ment on his own

Staff writer
D W Brooks, founder and
chairman of the board (emeri
tus) of the Gold Kist Corpora
tion. gave the winter lecture
for the University of Georgia
Chapter of Sigma Xi Monday-
night
Since the society of Sigma Xi
is interested mainly in re
search, Brooks' talk concen
trated on that topic. Many of
the examples he used were
drawn from his experiences
over the past 40-odd vears with
Gold Kist
Brooks began the talk by
defining research as "the idea
that we will discover some
thing new- to better our
existence on earth " He then
went on to add that "research,
at its very best, will not only
raise the income of farmers
but lower the prices for
consumers."
To exemplify this. Brooks
spoke of Gold Kist’s involve
ment with chickens, saying
that 30 years ago, it took 12
weeks to produce a three
pound bird using four and a
half pounds of feed Now,
however, research has made it
possible to produce the same
three pound bird in only six
weeks while using only two
pounds of feed And, at the
same time, the price to con
sumers has been cut by more
than half
In continuing. Brooks said
that "research is going to have
some failures.” but it should
not disturb you" because
failure is still research. He
concluded his talk by saying
there never seems to be an end
to research because the
ingenuity and mind of man will
keep coming up with some
thing better and different
Brooks is an alumnus of the
University’s College of Agri
culture and a former instructor
in the college’s agronomy divi
sion He helped found the Gold
Kist Corporation and served as
the company’s general mana
ger for 35 years until 1968.
when he became chairman of
the board
Among his many awards.
Brooks has been named "Man
of the Year in Agriculture in
Georgia" in 1950 and "Man of
the Year in Agriculture in the
Southeast" in 1966 He has
been elected to the college of
Agriculture’s Hall of Fame
(1972) and has served as an
advisor to five presidents
(Truman. Eisenhower. Ken
nedy. Johnson, and Ford)
before President Carter ap
pointed him to the Presidential
Commission on World Hunger.
His work on this commission
and his experiences with agri
cultural advancements and re
search througnout the world
have left Brooks convinced
that the world can feed its
hungry people
