The Summer Olympics are
• being held in Munich, West
Germany, and the American
team has already won several
, gold medals and bids fair to win
more, it is predicted. Teams
from many nations are in the
Games.
• Athletes of different beliefs as
to government and of different
religious beliefs and of many
t color skins have laid aside
prejudice and hatreds and scorn
and are running and jumping
and playing games in a spirit of
* fair play.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the
same spirit of respect and fair
• play could prevail after the
medals have been awarded and
the participants had returned
home?
‘ Heard a story the other day
that we would like to pass on to
our readers. It is about Dr.
* Christian Bernard, South
African surgeon who performed
the first heart transplant that
extended the life span of the
patient.
The story tells of Dr. Billy
Graham’s asking Dr. Bernard,
» “What were you thinking about
as you performed the opera
tion?”
Dr. Bernard replied, “As I
began the operation, I thought
of the oft used words ‘a man
without a heart’ used in
• describing a selfish, ruthless
man.’’
“Then, as I gazed for a
moment into the empty body, I
quickened my pace to replace
the organ, for no man can live
long ‘without a heart.’ ”
• “I then offered a prayer that
the new heart would be a
healthy one and would not be
, rejected by the human body.”
Would that the mixed up,
confused, sin cursed world
would be blessed with a tran
• splant of its heart. A transplant
of a healthy, unselfish heart
that would trust in the word of
• the Greatest Surgeon who has
ever lived and operated in the
hearts of mankind.

Griffin station
fights pollution
The Georgia Experiment
Station in Griffin has almost one
in every four staff members
working on problems dealing
with environmental quality,
according to Director Dr. Curtis
Jackson.
Only one in twenty worked on
similar problems four years
ago.
“The experiment stations of
the university are the only
organized units that can work
on the environmental quality
problem,” the director said.
In Georgia, state en
vironmental agencies are
regulatory, and while some
engineering research is being
done at Georgia Tech, Jackson
pointed out that the stations
were the only facilities
equipped to do the biological
research.!
Twelve projects dealing with
abatement of pollution or en
vironmental quality are under
way at the Georgia Station.
Typical of the research being
undertaken at the station is a
project of Dr. Dale Carley
whose aim is to determine
economical methods of disposal
of solid waste (garbage) in
urban fringe areas.
Griffin is considered a part of

Daily Since 1872
Incumbent State Senator Bob
Smalley did sweep his home
county of Spalding better than
the urban fringe area of
Atlanta.
“We know garbage is
recyclable, but as of yet, there
just isn’t any interest on a
federal level to support such
projects,” Jackson said.
Jackson estimated that it
would cost $2 million to build
such a project in Griffin.
“The station is available to
help anyone with a problem that
we are equipped to solve, but
people and municipalities are
just not bringing their problems
to us,” he added.
Consultation services by the
station are free to the public.

two-to-one. He polled 4,660 votes
here to challenger Claude
Whaley’s 1,942. But parts of four
other counties are included in
the district and Smalley’s
impressive Spalding figure
dwindled to 868 in a total of
nearly 14,000 votes cast.
The only strictly local race in
the Democratic Primary runoff
was for Spalding County Com
missioner. With more than 6,600
votes cast, Palmer Hamil won
the nomination over Bobby
Dunn 3,734 to 2,933, a difference
of 801. In the original primary
three weeks ago, Hamil polled
2,349 and Dunn 2,005, a dif
ference of 344 votes. At that
time Glenn Conkle polled 1,990
and George Farrar 844.
Other runoffs in Spalding
yesterday were cn a district
instead of strictly local basis.
The closest one was for State
Representative in a district
which includes all of Spalding
County, most of Fayette County
and the Senoia area of Coweta
County. Results were not known
until the final precinct reported,
then John Carlisle won by a
slender thread of 140 votes. His
opponent, Don Jackson, had
come up strong in the runoff.
Carlisle led Jackson in the
original election three weeks
ago by 825 votes with the district
totals going for Carlisle 4,410,
Jackson 3,585, and Dick Hyatt
1,776. Yesterday Jacksen
nairowed it everywhere. Spald
ing voted in the runoff 3,451 for
Carlisle (3,254 originally), and
3,321 for Jackson (2,518
originally). Yesterday, Coweta
County went for Jackson 227 to
146, and Fayette for Carlisle 948
to 857. Final district total was
Carlisle 4,545 and Jackson 4,405.
Spalding is the only county
included entirely in the State
Senate district. Incumbent Bob
Smalley of Griffin swept it clean
by more than two-to-one over
challenger Claude Whaley. In
his home area, Whaley did the
same, but only parts of Clayton
and Henry Counties are in the
district. A native of Clayton
County who now lives in Henry,
Whaley carried Clayton 2,133 to
793 and Henry County 904 to 572.
Whaley also carried that part of
Coweta County included in the
district 1,262 to 1,060. Smalley
carried the portion of Fayette
215 to 191. Total vote was
Smalley 7,300 and Whaley 6,432.
These election results are
complete and no changes are
expected. However, they are
unofficial and subject to
change.
Democratic nominee Palmer
Hamil will face Republican
nominee Ivan Taylor in the
general election in November
for the Spalding County Com
mission, and Democratic
nominee John Carlisle will face
GOP nominee Altai Norris.
Neither of the Republicans had
opposition in their primary.
Smalley has no Republican
opposition in the general
election.
Spalding went for Nunn

In the U.S. Senate race,
Spalding County voted
yesterday for David Gambrell
to complete the unexpired term
to which he was appointed and
which runs into January. The
vote was 3,343 for Gambrell and
3,104 for Sam Nunn, a difference
of 239 votes.

around and gave the nod for a

It’s Nunn vs. Thompson
in battle for Senate
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI) — Sam
Nunn, a Central Georgia attor

statewide race, beat incumbent
David Gambrell Tuesday to set
up Georgia’s first all - out two
party fight for the U. S. Senate
in modern times.
The 33-year-old Nunn will be
facing Congressman Fletcher
Thompson, who was nominated
without opposition three weeks
ago in the Republican primary
and who has gained national at

of actress Jane Fonda’s visit to
Hanoi.
Nunn gave part of the credit
for his uphill victory over Gam

Tired, but happy, Nunn said
he would take a few days off,
go on a short vacation with his
family — “We’ve only had a
couple of days together since
Christmas” — before jumping
again into the Senate race.
“Then, we’ll start laying the
