Maddox Wants
Dogwoods
On 1-75 Route
ATLANTA (UPI)—Gov. Lest
er Maddox wants to use an
army of dogwood trees to help
fight pollution along Interstate
75 in Georgia.
Maddox suggested planting
the row of trees, which would
extend the length of the state
from the Tennessee line to the
Florida border, to State Fores
try Director Ray Shirley.
Shirley said the dogwoods
would help fight pollution be
cause they take in carbon mo
noxide from auto exhaust and
produce oxygen.
Maddox promised $25,000 from
his 1971 emergency fund to buy
the trees, which would probably
costabout $750, and pay for part
of the labor involved in plant
ing one every 25 or 50 feet.
“In three or four years this
will be the most beautiful high
way in the whole United States
and it possibly could save some
lives,” the governor said.

Herrman unscrewed a large

Petree,
Ansley
Indicted
ATLANTA (UPI)— Alderman
R. A. Petree and attorney B.
Hugh Ansley were free on
$30,000 bond today following
their indictments by a Fulton
County grand jury on charges
of soliciting $30,000 to influence
a zoning case.
Dist. Atty. Lewis R. Slaton
said the two men would face
trial in late May or June and
added that they could be sen
tenced to one to 20 years in
prison if convicted.
The indictment, handed down
Friday, alleged that Petree,
who has been in office since
January, sought the money
from the Beck Companies of
Dallas, Tex., to have property
rezoned for construction of an
office park.
Ansley was accused of aiding
and abetting Petree.
After the indictment was re
turned, Atlanta Mayor Sam
Masseli asked Petree to take a
voluntary leave of absence so
that city residents could have
“complete confidence in their
public servants.”
Slaton said officials of the
Beck Companies had informed
him of the attempted solicita
tion.

Rev. Barnes
"If There’s A God,
How Can The World
Be The Way It Is?"
You’ve probably heard someone say
that at one time or another. In a mo*
ment of weakness, you may have said
it yourself.
But it really isn’t fair to blame God
for the faults of mankind, is it? He
gives us life and the freedom to do
what we will with it. If we fail, we are
to blame.
Religion offers us the key to making
a better world. The man who is gen
uinely disturbed about war, violence,
and hatred will not reject God. He will
accept Him ... as the only answer and
the truest hope.
