Bert Lance
What kind
of man is he?
ATLANTA (UPI) - Bert
Lance, director-designate of the
Office of Management and
Budget calls himself a “country
banker,” but his wife Laßelle
doesn’t consider herself a
“country girl.”
“I grew up and lived most of
my life in a small Georgia
town, but I don’t think I’m a
country girl,” said Mrs. Lance,
45, who married her high school
sweetheart when she was 19
years old.
What Lance is “trying to
say" when he tells people he is
a “country banker,” Mrs.
Lance explained, is that “he is
proud of his background ... and
he can do anything in a bank.
He’s not just a corporate
executive."
Interviewed in her palatial
Atlanta mansion, where Presi
dent-elect Jimmy Carter spent
a night last week, Mrs. Lance
was surrounded by rooms full
of Georgian antiques. The
dining room seats 50 persons.
Mrs. Lance comes across like
a southern belle — eager, but
ever modest.
Asked if Rosalynn Carter was
a close friend, for example,
Mrs. Lance replied “I would
consider her a good friend, but
I hate to say that because I
don’t want to sound presump
tuous.”
She said they had known each
other for 10 years and their
husbands are close personal
friends.
“I guess I’m just an ordinary
wife and mother,” said Mrs.
Lance who has never held a
full-time job but reared the four
Lance boys, now ages 15, 16, 22
and 24.
Cooking, housework, enter
taining and reading are her
favorite pastimes, she said, and
her life is guided by religion.
“I’ve found my faith has
deepened, perhaps because I’m
getting older,” Mrs. Lance
said. “I have a deeper sense of
commitment.” The family is
Methodist.
Her latest achievement a
nearly 2,000-line, stream-of
consciousness poem she wrote
entitled “A Story From God”
was an “inspiration, ... some
thing which just came to me,”
she said.
“I write a little poetry every
morning, and this just came to
me.”
Mrs. Lance has had copies
printed, inscribed with “By His
Servant, Laßelle,” on the
cover, for Christmas presents.
“I believe in a divine plan,
and I also believe there is no
excuse for not doing things for
other people,” she said.
Even though Mrs. Lance said
her husband never asks her
advice on business or policy
decisions “he would always
listen to me.”
And she understands the
world of finance, she said.
“I grew up in a banker’s
family so I understand the
stock market and how banks
run. I read the Wall Street
Journal and the New York
Times every morning and I
always look at the financial
pages.”
Mrs. Lance was the boss’
daughter when Lance married
her while the two were in
college. Her grandfather was a
founder of the First National
Bank of Calhoun and her
father, who died when she was
a teenager, was a vice
president.
But she contends the story
Lance tells of starting out as a
S9O-a-month bank teller at the
Calhoun bank is nevertheless
true.
“I put myself on as tight a
budget as you can imagine.
And our biggest expense was
things for the babies.”
“This house is special, these
clothes are special — it’s all
special, but I’m not afraid of
losing material things,” Mrs.
Lance said, gesturing to the
antiques, some of which were
inherited from her grandmo
ther.
She’s “excited” about “ad
ding another city” to the places
she has already lived — Atlanta
and Calhoun, Ga., which has
5,000 persons.
“We’ve leased a townhouse in
Georgetown, but it’s not nearly
as spacial as this,” Mrs. Lance
said. But she thinks she will
feel at home there and expects
to get to know her druggist,
grocer and neighbors — just
like in Calhoun.
“The thing I’ll miss the most

Special
car thief
LOS ANGELES (UPI) —
Steven J. Allen, 22, a special
kind of car thief, was sentenced
to jail Monday.
Allen drew the sentence after
pleading guilty to a charge he
stole City Attorney Burt Pines
official car from the City Hall
garage.
The prosecution dropped
charges that he stole the autos
of an administrative aide to the
mayor, the official car of a
county supervisor’s chief depu
ty and a television news crew’s
working wagon.
Allen was arrested in March
when he was sighted in Long
Beach driving a patrol car
stolen from the Alameda
County Sheriffs Department,
400 miles to the north.
He was sentenced to 257 days
in jail — the length of time he
spent awaiting trial — and
credited with the time, becom
ing eligible for immediate
release.
is my family,” she said. All
four sons, including one who is
married, live at home and Mrs.
Lance describes them as “very
close.”
Mrs. Lance doesn’t think she
will see much of her husband,
whose long work hours she has
learned to tolerate, but “I’m
sure I’ll meet lots of people,”
she said.

Tony Hill who passed away

The Loom of Time
Author Unknown
Man’s life is laid in the loom
of time,
To a pattern he does not see,
While the weaver works,
And the shuttle fly,
Till the dawn of eternity.
God surely planned the
pattern
Each thread, the dark and
fair
Is chosen by His Master skill
And placed in the web with
care
Not till each loom is silent,
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God reveal the pattern
And explain the reason why.
Sadly missed by your wife
and daughters

Social Register
NEW YORK—If you’re the type of person who frets over whether your name can be easily
found in the National Social Register, relax. The 91-year old register, bowing to inflation
and the lifestyle of a mobile society, consolidated its 12 volumns for individual cities
yesterday into one jumbo cut-rate book. The 1977 edition costs $28.50 plus tax, as opposed to
a staggering $250 for the 1976 complete set. (UPI)
