Busbee legislation seeks
campaign financing reform
ATLANTA (PRN) - George
D. Busbee, House Majority
Leader and State
Representative, at a news
conference today announced
that he is sponsoring a full
financial disclosure act that
will apply to candidates for
Governor and Lt. Governor.
He said he would push for
the act’s passage during the
1974 session of the Georgia
legislature and felt that an
overwhelming number of his
fellow legislators would also
push for its passage.
Busbee’s bill, “The
Campaign Financing
Disclosure Act,” requires all
candidates for the state’s two
highest elected offices to
disclose campaign
contributions and
expenditures of more than
SIOO.OO
The Busbee bill also calls
for full financial disclosure in
the form of a complete
personal financial statement
on both the candidates and
their spouses. These
statements must be filed prior
to the election, on taking
office and annually while
holding office.
In making the
announcement Busbee said,

Disclosure Act,’ . . .will bring
about long needed reform in
electing Georgia’s two highest
state officials.”
The reporting requirement
of the Busbee bill applies to
contributions and
expenditures which total
SIOO.OO during a single year.
Under this requirement, if a
person contributes $25.00 per
month to a candidate, that
person’s contribution must be
reported after the 4th month.
This same principle applies to
expenditures.
Busbee said, “Young and
old alike are cynical about
political fund raising and the
financing of political
campaigns. This cynicism and
doubt is extremely harmful to
public confidence in our
democratic system.
“1 think it is important that
the campaign for Governor
and Lt. Governor in 1974 be a
testing ground for major
issues ...” such as “questions
about the source of any
candidate’s campaign
financing.”
Busbee concluded, “There
is simply no good reason why
Georgians should not know
the source of money in
campaigns for these offices.”
Busbee’s bill will insure that
Georgia voters know two
important facts about the
candidates:
1) How they are raising
money; and
2) How they are spending
Busbee has been in the
Georgia House for 17 years
and has served as Majority
Leader since 1967. He is an
unannounced candidate for
Governor and is expected to
officially announce in March
immediately after the close of
the 1974 legislative session.

elude
lawmen
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (UPI) —
Despite a three-state alert,
eight inmates who escaped from
the Decatur County Public
Works Camp Friday night con
tinue to elude authorities.
Don Cowart, resident warden
at the camp, said Sunday police
have no idea where the men
headed, but have issued alerts
for Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama.
The prisoners are believed to
be traveling in a new Pontiac
stolen Friday night from a
dealership in West Bainbridge,
about a mile from the work
camp.
Cowart said the men are
considered dangerous. Several
have been convicted on murder
of manslaughter charges.
“We know they have at least
one gun which they took from
the guard,” he said. “We don’t
know what else they might
have picked up.”
The men cut a hole through
the wall, separating a dormi
tory room and a shower room.
Two of the inmates crawled
through the hole and jumped a
guard during a normal security
check.
They took his keys and pistol
and then unlocked cells holding
the prison’s entire 65 inmates.
“They opened up the whole
thing,” said Warden John
Sam Cleveland. “Anybody that
wanted to could have escaped.
But only eight did.”
Cowart said police are check
ing the prisoners’ home towns,
but have little else to go on.
The men are Johnny Fair

Baby boy
delivered
on bridge
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) —
Badge No. 8045 performed a job
beyond the call of duty Sunday
by delivering a baby boy on the
San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge.
California Highway Patrol
officer Fred Pylant was flagged
down by a young couple in a
van just west of the toll plaza.
He then aided Patricia Hutton
of Oakland with the birth of her
child while the van sat on an
inside lane.
Both mother and child were
reported “doing fine” at a San
Francisco hospital early today.

Bavarian-style
village popular
HELEN (PRN) - North
Georgia’s Bavarian-style village
is becoming increasingly
international.
Visitors who enjoy
exploring Helen’s many
attractive import shops now
find they can choose from
round-the-world cuisine as
planned total of 7,000 men. This
is no fault of Secretary-General
Kurt Waldheim.
Waldheim was required to
form the force in consultation
both with the belligerents and
with the Security Council. The
haggling that ensued among the
council’s members was
lengthened by Russia’s in
sistence that the force must
include Poles. Romania, which
has not broken off relations with
Israel, would have been an
apter choice for this first parti
cipation in a UN force by a
Warsaw pact country, and the
Rumanians were keen.
But Russia would not have
them; it wanted a docile,
conspicuously anti-Israel
participant, with no alarming
links with those frightful
Chinese who have heckled
Russia so mercilessly
throughout the Middle East
conflict; and in the end it got the
tricky job of providing the
force’s support elements
assigned jointly to the
Canadians, who have more
experience in this work than
anybody else, and to the Poles,
who have none at all.
The council also agreed
(China again dissociating itself
from the decision) to accept
contingents from Ghana, In
donesia, Nepal, Panama and
Peru, and to seek men from at
least two more African states.
But meanwhile the brunt of the
force’s initial commitment was
being borne by about 1,200
Austrian, Finnish, Irish and
Swedish soldiers, most of whom
had been hastily transferred to
Egypt from the UN force in
Cyprus.
The swift arrival of these first
elements compared favorably
with the painful slowness that
had marked the assembling of
the Cyprus force in 1964, but the
completion of the force still
looks like it will be a long
process.

Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb
The diet is her problem
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’ve
been putting off writing this
letter for some time now out
of fear. I’m afraid of what
might be wrong with me.
The problem is much too
complicated to explain in
detail, but 1 am a girl, almost
18. Recently 1 dieted and lost
20 to 25 pounds on my own. I
paid attention to nutrition
and proper exercise, but 1
wasn t under medical super
vision. I have absolutely no
idea if the loss of weight has
anything to do with my prob
lem, but I’d like it known that
1 have been on a diet while
/this was happening.
I haven’t had my menstrual
period for over six months
(I’m not pregnant). I’ve be
come irritable, tired, de
pressed and my legs and
soles of my feet hurt so much
sometimes I can barely walk.
1 don’t know what is wrong.
I’ve not mentioned this to
anyone yet. Right now I just
want to know what to do. If 1
were 45 years old, 1 might
well. Restaurants offer
specialties ranging from spicy
German favorites and hearty
American hamburgers to
Vietnamese food. Similar to
the more familiar Chinese
food, Vietnamese cooking has
somewhat lighter, more
delicate flavors and includes
such delicacies as stuffed squid
and lychee fruit.
Within driving distance of
Helen are a number of rustic
country inns serving the ample
meals for which north Georgia
is famous. In these informal
dining rooms, service is
pass-your-plate family style.
Fried chicken and a generous
variety of fresh vegetables are
daily fare, along with
homemade breads and
desserts.
Helen’s import shops are
stocked with items from the
European Alps, the
Scandinavian countries, the
Far East, England, Scotland
and the Mediterranean. Many
of the shops in the area are
attractions in themselves. The
Old Sautee Store is a
century-old country store

believe 1 was going through
the menopause, but I’m only
17, so I’m worried that it
might be a disease or possibly
a type of cancer. 1 m ter
rified, doctor. Please, please
write and tell me what is
wrong. I’m so scared and
worried I can’t sleep half the
time, and I feel like crying or
something.
DEAR READER - You
are pretty good at making a
diagnosis. Probably most of
your problems are related to
that do-it-yourself diet pro
gram you have been on.
There are a lot of problems
caused by dieting. 1 m one of
the strongest proponents for
staying slim and preventing
obesity, but not by measures
that can and will destroy
your health.
The longer I write this col
umn and see people, the more
convinced 1 am that most of
the public hasn’t the foggiest
idea of how much trouble
they can cause themselves
with ill-advised diet pro
grams. Unfortunately some
waterfall. All craftsmen,
including the town glassblower
and candlemaker, seem
delighted to stop work and
talk to visitors about their
craft.
The town is situated in the
midst of a giant outdoor
playground replete with
waterfalls, chilly trout
streams, state parks, tree-lined
lakes and campgrounds. East,
north and west, for miles
across the mountains of north
Georgia, stretches the
677,000-acre Chattahoochee
National Forest. Within the
National Forest are state parks
with campgrounds and rental
cottages.
Within 30 miles of Helen a
rich variety of attractions
awaits the visitor. Among
them are Anna Ruby Falls;
Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s
highest lookoff point at 4,784
feet; Richard Russell Scenic
Highway; Sautee covered
bridge, one of 26 vintage
bridges scattered around the
state; a Cherokee Indian
mound in the legendary
Nacoochee Valley; Sky Valley
ski resort; Dahlonega
Courthouse Gold Museum,
commemorating the first
major gold rush in the country
in 1828; Tallulah Gorge,
where visitors may trace
nature trails down its
precipitous sides; Traveler’s
Rest, a restored stagecoach inn
near Toccoa.
of these programs are ad
vised on a nationwide scale.
In 1950 Dr. Ancel Keys and
his group at the University of
Minnesota studied young,
healthy people by putting
them on a 1600 calorie diet.
They lost weight and lost
their sexual desire, in some
their hair fell out. There were
personality changes, very
much like you now describe.
Almost all seemed with
drawn, irritable and old
before their time.
That is only the beginning.
It took six months for most of
them to regain their health,
after starting on a high
calorie diet and rehabilita
tion program. Mind you, all of
these problems occurred
while eating 1600 calories a
day of a pretty good diet, no
doubt much better than the
one you have been on.
Those sore feet may well
mean a vitamin deficiency.
And, semi-starvation can
lead to stopping menstrua
tion.

vise is that you begin at once
to eat a good nutritious diet,
in accordance with your ap

though, that with a good,

directed toward regaining
your health, plenty of
vitamins, and protein that
you could regain your old zest
for living in a few months. 1
hope your letter reminds
many others that food is the
source of your energy and
health. If you want to keep
health and energy, you are
smart to stay off those foolish,
“do-it-yourself’ diets.
