Cpl. Bill Shivers
Cpl. Bill Shivers and his two brothers, Larry and
:j Wayne, are all state troopers. They probably are the only
three brothers in the United States who are on a state ij
patrol force. Larry is with Bill at the Griffin Post and
$ Wayne works out of Newnan.
Bill serves as assistant to the post commander and is in
charge when Sgt. A. W. Murphy is away. About three- $
fourths of his work day is spent patrolling the highways of
•j Spalding, Butts and Henry Counties. The rest of the time,
he is at his office on the North Expressway working with
daily and monthly reports required by the state.
He also works with post public relations and gathers
$: investigative background material on all applicants for
post positions.
Usually on holidays, when traffic is heaviest and a
patrolman has to work the hardest, Bill is assigned to a
CAP plane, piloted by Capt. Guy Howard. They fly over •$
the main highways in the area, mostly 1-75, and watch for ft
speeding cars and traffic accidents.
K When Bill spots a reckless driver or accident, he radios
its location to a patrol car. Once, he said, they followed a $:
driver doing mere than 100 miles per hour. The car >•:
reached the outskirts of Macon before lawmen on the
$ ground could stop it, he said.
In December 1971 Bill was assigned as an aide to
Alabama Gov. George Wallace for the week-long Gover
nors Conference in Atlanta. He described Wallace as a
“gentleman’s gentleman” and remembers Wallace went
:J: out of his way to be especially nice to law officers. Bill
says he felt they got to be good friends as later, the g
governor made Bill an honorary Lt. Col. Aide-de Camp in
the Alabama State Militia.
$ Bill loves all sports from basketball to ice hockey.
£ During his four-year Army hitch, he played on the All- $
$ Army basketball team at games throughout the U. S. Bill
is 6-8, weighs 285, and was the tallest player on the
•$ Zebulon High team the year they won the state basketball
S championship.
He doesn’t play much basketball now but keeps in shape $
S by working out with weights several times a week.
$: This month Bill graduated from Gordon Junior College,
$: receiving an Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice.
He plans to continue his studies at Gordon. ¥
His wife, the former Rosa Bennett of Zebulon, is a dieti- £
tian at Pike County High School and Bill says she is the
“best cook I’ve ever seen.” He has a vegetable garden and
grows enough for the family to eat.
$ The Shivers’ have two children, a daughter, Kim, nine x
and a son, Tim, 11. They are members of the New Hope
Baptist Church.
Bill was a military policeman in the Army. He has been
<: a State Patrolman for nine years. The first two were spent
in Canton. Bill says he always wanted to be a trooper and $
especially enjoys meeting people.
“Most people are courteous, even when you are giving
them a ticket,” he said.
Carolina. Eight others in
Georgia and one in Alabama

summer, bringing the total to 29

August 31, as compared with 13
a year earlier.
Arthur Blank, Assistant
Treasurer of Daylin and Presi
dent of the Elliott’s-Stripe
Division, highlighted the fact
that the new stores are about
10,000 square feet in size,
considerably larger than most
Elliott’s outlets.
They carry a full line of
merchandise similar to the type
normally found in variety drug
and discount chain outlets,
including prescription drugs,
health and beauty aids, hard
ware, housewares, apparel,
linens and domestics, ap
pliances, photographic equip
ment and seasonal goods.
Os God and man
Here’s latest example
of debunking syndrom
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
You can count on it. Every
few years, some “scholar” will
stir up a short-lived sensation
by publishing a book which says
something outlandish about
Jesus.
The “scholar” usually has no
standing as a Bible student,
theologian, archaeologist, or in
any other field related to
serious study of religious ques
tions.
But that need not hold him
back. If he has a job-any job-on
a university faculty, his “fin
dings” will be treated respect
fully in the press as a “scholarly
work.”
The latest example of this
syndrome is a bode entitled
“Clement of Alexandria and a
Secret Gospel of Mark”, by
Morton Smith, a history profes
sor at Columbia.
“Secret” Gospel
In a Greek Orthodox monas
tery near Jerusalem, Smith
found a fragment of manuscript
which he has identified, to his
own satisfaction, as a letter
written in the latter part of the
Second Century by Bishop
Clement of Alexandria, one of
the most respected of the early
church fathers. The note refers
to a “secret” version of the
Gospel according to Mark.
Piling inference upon pre
sumption, Smith has persuaded
himself that this “secret
gospel” shows there were two
kinds of members in the early
Christian church—the great
mass, who were kept in the
dark about “real secrets,” and
a few inner-circle types who
were initiated into more recon
dite mysteries.
One of these mysteries, says
Smith, on the basis of
conjecture, was that Jesus was
neither a Messiah, nor even a
courageous teacher who laid
down his life to tell men the
truth, but a slick “miracle
working magician. ’ ’
The amazing thing about all
these debunk-Jesus books is
that they accept as much of the
recorded gospels as they find
convenient to sustain their
thesis, and then blandly ignore
or repudiate other parts of the
very same documents which
are directly contradictory to
BOG money
available
to students
High school graduates
needing financial help to con
tinue their formal education
may get aid through a federal
program known as BOG.
It is a program called Basic
Educational Opportunity Grant
(BOG).
Application forms are ex
pected to be available by July 1
at post offices, high schools,
colleges, and vocational
technical schools.
Generally a BOG grant will be
$1,400 less the amount expected
to be contributed by the
student’s family.
The BOG grant will not ex
ceed half of the cost the student
expects to incurr.
BOG grants are available for
students attending college, or
vocational educational schools.
They are for first year, full
time postsecondary students.

their pet notion.
Startling Fact
The same technique was used
a few years ago in a widely
sold book called “The Passover
Plot” (also by a “scholar”)
which despicted Jesus’ crucifix
ion as the miscarriage of a
tricky political maneuver by
Jesus and his disciples.
The ultimate depths of
absurdity were reached in a
more recent book by a British
“scholar” who sought to
establish (by heavily editing
the gospels) that Jesus really
wasn’t a person: He was a
mushroom, used by a hallucino
genic cult.
Anyone who takes this sort of
bilge seriously probably de
serves to be “upset” about it.
The really startling fact about
Jesus is that 2,000 years after
he lived and taught as an
itinerant rabbi in an obscure
comer of the Roman Empire
and died a criminal’s death,
men, including university pro
fessors, are still trying to
denigrate him and explain him
away.
How many magicians do you
know who’ve had that kind of
impact on history?
County
gets order
on road
Spalding County has received
a contract to do grading and
drainage work on Shoal Creek
road in preparation for its
paving.
County Commission Chair
man Jack Moss said the con
tract is for $71,864.01. He said
the county hopes to get the
contract for the paving job, too.
If it does, he believes the road
can be paved during this year.
This is the road between
Highway 16 and the Ellis road
and goes by the city landfill.
Because of the landfill’s being
located on the route, traffic on it
is heavy.
The stretch of road involved
in this project is 1.7 miles.
