memo
Heroin, better known as
“HORSE,” accounts for about
90% of the narcotic abuse in the
United States. Heroin is derived
trom Opium and is an extremely
dangerous and potent narcotic,
since it causes physical and
psychological dependence.
Overdoses of HORSE (known as
OD) frequently result in death.
Drug enforcement officials in
Atlanta are concerned about
new illegal shipments of a more
potent heroin, which is white in
lieu of brown in color.
The new high grade white
heroin is mostly from Iran and
Afghanistan and is replacing the
less pure brown heroin from
Mexico. In addition to our losing
out drug agents in these coun
tries, their governments no
longer control the flow of opium
and heroin out of their coun
tries.
The purer HORSE, drug of
ficials fear, will cause more
overdose deaths and result in
new users becoming “hooked”
quicker. The new white heroin is
between 5 and 6percentpure,as
compared to the 1 to 2 percent
pure brown heroin from
Mexico.
If you have any information
about illegal drug sales, please
call the Atlanta Bureau of Police
Services at 658-6666 to share
what you know.
Of course, if you do not wish
to give you r name or address, call
the SECRET TIPS COPS LINE” at

Cable Atlanta
Establishes New
Headquarters
"How a company only five
months old could have so much
stuff amazes me. Last winter I
could have moved our entire of
fice in a briefcase!” muttered
corporate administrator Sue Pate
as she directed Cable Atlanta's
recent move of 25 staff to new
headquarters.
These and other less polite
remarks punctuated a busy
weekend during which officers
and staff of Atlanta’s citywide
cable tv provider took over part
of their new headquarters com
plex.
“We’re establishing a
beachhead here,” Pate noted, as
her troops occupied half of 1038
West Peachtree. “By year end
we’ll have all of this building,
plus two others next door. Then
we’ll have 150 staff at this
location.”
Pate, Cable Atlanta's original
employee, notes that the
buildings’ earlier occupants are
suitable antecedents to her
firm’s up - to - the minute cable
technology . . ■ "Channel 17’s
moving from here to its new
Techwood location. Before
them, Channel 5 had the
building. I hope westayawhile.”
Cable Atlanta’s headquarters
now house itsexecutiveoffice, as
well as the firm’s training center
for courses in public access
programming. Several courses
currently are underway.
"We’re teaching Atlanta
people how to make their own tv
programs. We’ll show those
programs on our public access
channelsstarting in the fall,” said
access coordinator Norbert Bain
. . . the four night courses cover
camera operations, editing and
other production functions as
well asthetheoryand purpose of
public access television. “Our
courses are fu II for now, but we
have openings in August and the
coming months,” explained
Bain. "Groups and individuals
should contact us at 874-8000 for
training. We want every kind of
person, group and opinion
represented on our access
channels.”
Soon the new Cable Atlanta
headquarters will house the
firm's main tv studio, producing
material for two community
programming channels, as well
as a neighborhood studio for
North Central Atlanta.
Other Cable Atlanta locations
include a construction office on
Collier Road and a service office
on Garson Drive. The Garson
staff will be moved to the West
Peachtree location by year end.
Cable Atlanta will offer nearly
50 channels of cable television to
homes throughout Atlanta and
North Fulton County. Some
neighborhoods will begin to
receive service in September. All
areas will be served by early 1984.
