City *Btlefs
Lights synchronized
l( a project completed last week by city traffic
engineers is successful, motorists should not encounter as
many red lights when driving through downtown Athens
With the exception of two intersections, the traffic lights
in the central business district have been synchronized,
according to Clarke County Traffic Engineer Bobby
Snipes.
Snipes cautioned that the lighting systems are old and
motorists should not expect to drive through the
downtown areas without stopping.
Future synchronization projects include traffic lights in
the Baxter and Lumpkin Street area. Snipes stressed the
light projects are costly and will be completed as funds
permit
Pinball in limbo
Operation of pinball machines in Athens is still in
limbo, as the Public Safety Committe of the City Council
again held a request by the Russell Hall council
concerning the legality of the machines
The committee is still waiting to hear from Athens
Chief of Police and a representative from the University
police before making a recommendation, according to
George M Hester, a member of the committee.
At the present time, pinball machines are illegal in
Athens under a 1960 city ordinance banning the machines.
However, the state law dealing with pinball has recently
been amended, allowing up to 15 games to be won on a
pinball machine
Hester said he will suggest to the committee that the
city ordinance be updated to conform with the state law.
Hester said he is “expecting the committee to pass" his
recommendation, but he cannot be sure.
Even if the committee passes a recommendation to
update the pinball ordinance, it would have to be passed
by the full council. And Hester said this might not be an
easy task
The Public Safety Committee will discuss the issue at
its next committee meeting on April 17. Hopefully, the
committee will take some action at this meeting. Hester
said
Price gets award
Athens Police Chief Everett E. Price received the
Community Service Award for outstanding service to the
Athens area Sunday The award was presented by the
One Hundred Percenters, Inc . during The Eighth
Annual Founders and Awards Day held at the Ebenezer
Baptist Church West.
Rape arrest charge
A man was arrested by Athens police Monday in
connection with a rape, the department reported. A
woman reported the incident to the Clarke County Police
Department, and it was turned over to the Athens police
when the arrest resulted.

Union Camp official speaks on ecology
By ELAINE ELMER
Staff writer
Environmental concerns in forestry are by no means a passing
fad. and a critical balance exists between land use control and
the free enterprise system, according to Fred W Haeussler.
official of the Union Camp Corp.
Haeussler. manager of Union Camp's Land Use and Forest
Practices Corporate Office of Environmental Affairs, spoke
Tuesday at a colloquium sponsored by the School of Forest
Resources.
Haeussler began with the basic "truism" that “environmental
considerations are not a passing fancy They’re here to stay.”
Although Haeussler acknowledged the importance of
environmental concerns, he encouraged resistance to "wall to
wall planning and control."
“The basic approach (of the Environmental Protection
Agency) is okay, but such efforts should only be directed on a
priority basis, at areas and activities where significant problems
exist." Haeussler said.
The 13 southern states have voluntarily developed BMP (best
management practices) in order to maintain water quality,
through educational and training programs EPA is willing to
accept voluntary programs, but has qualified this by saying if
they do not achieve the desired results, then regulation and
enforcement will follow, Haeussler said.
"A certain amount of regulation is coming, but I sincerely
believe this...if we make a continual effort, we will stave off
regulation, protect water quality and prevent the federal
government and the EPA from regulating." Haeussler stated
Haeussler emphasized that rnnr**rn over legislation and
regulation should not be limited to those directly involved in
forestry. He named the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as one of
the acts of Congress which may have "far-reaching
consequences" in the future
The Endangered Species Act "is directed toward public
lands- federal and state—but private landowners could and will
he affected; if federal assistance or control programs are
involved."
"Every time federal funds are involved, every time a permit
program is involved, every time an activity is regulated—the
Endangered Species Act could be part of the criteria of the
program." he said.
Haeussler also touched on the topic of wilderness designation of
public lands He approached the economic feasibility of the
plans
"There are roughly 19 million acres now in wilderness." he
said "If you add those lands currently under consideration for
wilderness designation, this could move the total wilderness
figure to 250 million acres, equivalent in size to the states of
Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Kansas. Missouri. Nebraska and Ohio "
"The critical questions which must be answered are: how-
much land do we need as wilderness; and how much can we
afford to set aside." he continued.
"Impacts on timber supply, prices and demand to harvest,
including private forest lands, will be brought about by
wilderness land set aside." Haeusslei said
"We must work diligently toward influencing the public, the
legislators and the regulators to act in a responsible manner We
must protect private property rights and our economic system."
Haeussler stated.
