Barnesville
youth top
4-H leader
ATHENS—An 18-year-old
Georgia boy who grew up in 4-H
in this state is now one of the top
national leaders in the
organization.
Clifford Nash, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Nash of Bar
nesville, was state and national
winner last year in
achievement. In addition, he
was chosen at 4-H Congress in
Chicago to be a member of the
select eight-man 4-H-Report-to
the-nation team for 1971.
As a 4-H reporter, Clifford
represents more than four
million members in all 50
states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
and Guam. Individually and
with the other team members
he is telling about 4-H to
national organizations; leaders
in government, business, in
dustry, agriculture and
education, and to the general
public through mass media.
Clifford was selected earlier
this year as a member of the
Keep America Beautiful Ad
visory Board, and now has been
named chairman of that group
for its first year. The newly
formed 15-member board is
made up of representatives of
youth groups and antilitter
organizations throughout the
country.
Clifford will preside at the
board’s first meeting during the
Keep America Beautiful annual
meeting Nov. 11-12 in
Washington, D. C.. He also will
moderate the youth session that
will be part of the annual
meeting program.
This outstanding 4-H’er is
involved in an even broader
range of interests and ac
tivities. He’s helping educate
against drug abuse and working
with retarded youth.
Last fall he was invited to
attend the Governor’s Con
ference on Drug Abuse, and
there he was a group leader.
Later at a Kiwanis Club
sponsored State “drug alert”
conference for high schoolers,
he was moderator. The Kiwanis
assignment resulted from his
being governor of Georgia Key
Clubs for 1970-71.
Asa junior 4-H leader Clifford
has helped more than a
thousand boys and girls over a
seven-year period “learn by
doing” in 4-H. He found special
satisfaction in working with
retarded children at a school,
and with a class of retarded at
his church.
Clifford’s wide variety of 4-H
projects have included beef,
swine, gardening, agronomy,
land judging, tractor, land
scaping, wildlife, home im
provement, recreation—and, of
course, leadership. He has
raised and shown champion
cattle, been president of the
Georgia Junior Hereford
Association and other livestock
organizations, and is co-owner
of Nash Brothers Herefords.
Farm reared and just out of
high school, Clifford has
already mapped out an
ambitious future for himself
He’s headed for college this fall
with a major in agriculture and
law. And some of his 4-H cattle
are financing his education.

Astronauts 9
lazy hearts
improving
By AL ROSSITER JR.
UPI Space Writer
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI) —Doctors asked Apollo
15’s astronauts to return to the
clinic today for a second series
of tests to see if their hearts
have overcome the laziness
developed during their long
exposure to weightless space.
Dr. Charles A. Berry report
ed that David R. Scott, Alfred
M. Worden and James B. Irwin
had not completely re-adapted
to the rigors of gravity Monday
and, as a result, their strength
was not up to par.
“This is not unusual,” Berry
said, although he had expected
a faster recovery. He said the
pilots’ cardiovascular systems
probably would return to
normal today or Wednesday.
The astronauts’ general phy
sical condition was reported
good, although they were more
fatigued than previous moon
explorers.
The 12-day, 7-hour Apollo 15
mission was the longest and
most demanding moonflight
ever conducted and it was only
38 hours short of America’s
spaceflight endurance record,
set by Gemini 7 in 1965. Soviet
cosmonauts have reported more
severe debilitating effects after
18 days of weightlessness.
The Apollo 15 crewmen,
however, were not slowed by
their re-adaptation process.
After completing Monday’s
regularly scheduled technical
debriefings, Scott and Irwin
donned white smocks and caps
and joined scientists in the
initial examination of some of
the 171 pounds of rock and soil
they brought back from the
mountain valley they explored
for three days.
The two astronauts peered
intently at two pitted rocks
mounted in a glass walled
cabinet in the Lunar Receiving
Laboratory and then answered
questions from geologists who
examined the specimens.
The space agency today
released a series of 10 still
photographs, six of them in
color, taken during the land
mark expedition. They were
some of the most near pictures
ever taken, showing the explo
rers, their spacecraft and their
car with the two-to-three mile
high Apennine Mountains in the
background.
The photographs showed the
flank of Hadley Delta Mountain,
where Scott and Irwin found
what is believed to be a piece
of the primitive crust of the
moon. Mt. Hadley, rising 15,000
feet high 15 miles away, was
seen in the background of one
picture and another showed the
10-foot car parked on the edge
of the deep canyon Scott and
Irwin investigated.
The astronauts had not been
scheduled to meet with scien
tists until later this week, but
Scott said before the July 26
launch he felt obligated to
devote as much time as
possible after his return to
helping geologists identify the
rocks and where they were
found.
Prisoner
captured
A prisoner who escaped from
a Spalding Public Works Camp
work detail yesterday morning
was captured some seven hours
later near the place where he
escaped.
Larry Jones, 22, of Fulton
County, who was serving a
seven to 20-year sentence for
manslaughter, escaped about
■9:30 a.m. while working on the
Hollonville road, near the Flint
River.
He was taken into custody on
the Line Creek road around 4:30
p.m. Officers said he had been
tracked by dogs all day and was
flushed out of some woods when
the dogs came up behind him.
A warrant will be taken
charging him with escape.
Kindergarten

Mrs. Jack Smith, Jr., an
experienced elementary school

Day Kindergarten this fall when

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Mr.
Wesley McMullins, who
passed away one year ago
today, august 10, 1970.
No morning dawns, no night
returns But that I think of
you.
Those left behind are very
good, But none replaces you.
Many a silent tear is shed.
When I am all alone.
The one that we loved so
much.
I often sit and think of you,
The things you used to say
and do.
I wonder why you had to die.
Without a chance to say
good-bye.
You will live with us in our
memory Until the end of
time.
