Boy Scouts in Troop Five made part of Spalding County

stations
closed
By United Press International
Most gasoline stations across
the country were closed Sunday
in compliance with President
Nixon’s requested energy-sav
ing measures. Traffic on
expressways was reported light
for the second Sunday of the
volunteer shutdowns.
In New Mexico, gasoline
dealers reported heavy sales
Saturday before the 9 p.m.
closing time, but state police
reported “very little traffic” on
highways Sunday.
Sunday traffic was also
reported lighter than usual
throughout most of the New
York City metropolitan region,
including parts of New Jersey,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, but police said
scattered heavy rainstorms
may have kept some drivers at
home.
Reports from Florida, Missis
sippi and Alabama indicated
most gas stations stayed closed.
The highway patrol said traffic
on the Florida Turnpike was as
light as last Sunday. “People
are cooperating,” said a patrol
spokesman.
The Automobile Club of
Michigan said a check of police
agencies across the state
showed an above-average num
ber of calls for directions to the
nearest open gas station.
But a measure of relief for
Sunday motorists may be on its
way. About 50 executive direc
tors of the National Congress of
Petroleum Retailers meeting in
Miami Beach, Fla., is looking
at a proposal to keep gas
stations open Sundays on a
voluntary rotating basis.

"Quality Reputation For Over 50 Years”
G.M. workers
okay contract
DETROIT (UPI)’ — Nearly
420,000 auto workers at General
Motors Corp, approved a new
three-year labor agreement
with the giant automaker by a
better than 9-1 margin, the
United Auto Workers an
nounced Sunday.
That left only ratification of a
contract with GM of Canada
and local contract bargaining
at Ford and GM to wrap up the
1973 round of auto negotiations.
The auto contract talks began
at GM in mid-July.
There are 78 of 146 bargain
ing units at GM without local
contracts to supplement the
national agreement. At Ford, 17
of 97 bargaining units still
haven’t completed the local
negotiations.
UAW President Leonard
Woodcock said, however, there
will be no strike deadlines in ,
local negotiations until after the
Christmas holiday. Ratification
by the GM workers means the
average hourly worker will
receive about S6OO in pay the
week before Christmas, includ
ing an average $l5O in back
Pay.
Woodcock, at a late-night
news conference Sunday, de
scribed the five-month period
as “most productive” with
contracts negotiated to cover
more than 900,000 workers at
the “Big Three” in the United
States and Canada.
“To do that this quickly in as
uncertain atmosphere as the
Methodist Church sponsors the troop. Participating in the
drive were (front, 1-r) Dillon Prime, Dondi Wells, Steve
Colwell, Tim Ellis, Jeff Smith (back) Tim McKneely,
Kelvin Howard, Steve Fonts, Audie Wells and Robbin
Young. Pat Reeves is in the background.
present one has been quite an
achievement and obviously
good for the economy,” Wood
cock said.
With votes from just five of
the 146 bargaining units still
uncounted. Woodcock said 90.1
per cent of the workers voted to
ratify and 9.9 per cent voted to
reject. That was in sharp
contrast to the problems the
union had getting its contract
approved by skilled tradesmen
at Ford.
Unlike the skilled workers at
Ford, who rejected the national
agreement, 80 per cent of the
skilled workers at GM voted for
ratification. Production workers
voted approval by 92 per cent.
Skilled trades workers in four
units voted against approval. In
these units, however, the
combined vote of production
and skilled workers showed the
majority for ratification.

Doggone dinner
PLYMOUTH, England (UPI)
— The more than 100 residents
of the Plymouth Dog and Cat
Home will have a sumptions
dinner this Christmas. So
sumptious that social workers
say it should go to two-legged
rather than four-legged unfor
tunates.
Ken Taylor, superintendent of
the dog and cat home, said pet
loving donors have given SSOO
to lay on a Christmas Day
spread of 25 turkeys.
“It’s crackers,” said Doris
Angwin, the Red Cross director.
“The money should be given
to people who can’t even afford
to consider a Christmas dinner.
I can name people who would
give their eye teeth to swap
places with your animals.”
Taylor stood firm.
“If I was raising cash for old
people or the homeless the
public would have given only
half as much. The donations
come specifically to give our
animals turkey at Christmas.
Who am I to tell people they
shouldn’t send the money?” he
said.
Sen. Inouye rejects blackmail
ATLANTA (UPI) - U.S. Sen.
Daniel K. Inouye, D - Hawaii,
says the Arab oil - producing
countries have used internation

efforts to erode American sup
port of Israel.
Inouye says he fears “a new
rise in anti - semitism” in the
country because many Ameri

HBh ““ O*
that brought this about’.”
Speaking Saturday night at an
Anti Defamation League testi
monial dinner for fellow Senate
Watergate Committee member
Herman Talmadge, Inouye blast
ed Americans “who would seek
a semblence of peace by offer
ing the bones of Israel to pla
cate” the Arab countries.
He said the U. S. must dem-
onstrate “clearly that blackmail
is not going to work,” or the
Arabs will continue to exert
pressure.
“It may be oil today. It may
be oil again tomorrow. Then it
may be tin and copper and ox
ides and aluminum and oil
again,” he said. “The poten
tial for world conflagration be
comes too real and dangerous.”
Sen. Talmadge, D - Ga., and
his wife, Betty, were presented
the 1973 Abe Goldstein Human
Relations Award by the ADL
of B’nai B’rith. Talmadge was
cited for his “service to Geor
gia and the nation” and his
work on behalf of Soviet Jews.
