Dr. Ann
By MAY WINGFIELD MELTON
Dr. Ann Stuckey, Griffin
pediatrician, spends long hours every
day caring for children and comes
home at night to “baby” her plants. She
says “plants are the best tranquilizer
there is.”
Digging in the dirt comes naturally to
her because she grew up here while her
father, Dr. H. P. Stuckey, was director
of the Georgia Experiment Station. She
has never lived apart from plants.
Even while doing her internship
following medical school, Ann had
cactus plants with her. Cacti were
about the only things that could survive
the hot hospital temperatures.
Now she is an orchid enthusiast with
orchids of every shape and size. She has
two greenhouses, one a cool greenhouse
for mountain plants and the other a
warm greenhouse for jungle plants
which is attached to her house on
Brookwood Terrace.
Approximately 1,000 wild azaleas
grow on her lot and she has something
blooming in the yard all year long. One
of the most interesting plants blooming
now is an Oriental sweet shrub. It came
from the Kell property here and its
plant ancestors were brought back to
Griffin by Captain Mclntosh Kell.

Matthew Perry on the historic mission

Shoppers urged not to buy
Coffee boycott spreading
By The Associated Press
A coffee boycott begun in New York
City has spread to Ohio, Massachusetts
and upstate New York, with super
market chains urging consumers not to
buy and providing discounts for
substitutes — or for coffee.
Ohio’s largest supermarket chain,
Liberal Markets Inc. with 40 stores in
Dayton and Cincinnati, continued
selling coffee at 12.59 per pound, but

Bom in Griffin, Ann attended Fourth
Ward School and Griffin High School.
She graduated from Vanderbilt and
then from Vanderbilt Medical School.
She interned at Children’s Memorial
Hospital in Montreal, Canada and at
Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston,
Mass. She was assistant resident at
Michigan Children’s Hospital in Detroit
and resident at Bellevue Hospital in
New York. She opened her pediatric
office in Griffin in 1944.
There were only five practicing
physicians in Griffin at that time, and
she worked until February of 1946
without a break. Then she went fishing
in the Everglades. She often made 20 or
25 house calls a day.
Dr. Abe Oshlag came to Griffin out of
the service in 1947 and made a
“courtesy call” on Dr. Stuckey the first
day he came. Ann said she “liked him”
immediately. They were married in
1954.
Growing up in New Rochelle, N. Y.,
Abe didn’t know “a petunia from a pea
vine” when he married Ann, but she
has changed all that and now he is as
enthusiastic about plants as she.
They have made many collecting
trips into Honduras, Guatemala, Costa
Rica, Panama and the Dominican

advertising campaign Monday urging
shoppers not to buy.
Shopwell Inc. in New York City is
running ads in which the company
president says, “The money you and I
are being asked to pay for coffee is out
rageous.” The newspaper ads include
20-cent coupons for tea, cocoa or hot
chocolate.

Republic. Plants they bring home are
first thoroughly washed, sometimes
even with a toothbrush, and examined
with a magnifying glass before they are
inspected by the Department of the
Interior. Most serious collectors are
anxious that diseases and insects not be
brought into this country. The Oshlags
had a “field day” recently on a trip to
Panama while the Pan Am highway
was being bruilt through the jungle.
Avid outdoorsmen, Ann and Abe went
on a raft down the Green River in
Colorado four years ago and spent ten
days campaing and sleeping in sleeping
bags. They went back to the Colorado
River in May because “the flowers
bloom in May.”
Ann has managed to combine
successfully the careers of homemaker
and practicing physician. She says she
has “two freezers, a microwave oven
and a crock pot; so what else do I
need?” She and Abe usually eat three
meals a day at home.
Declaring that “all babies need
love,” Dr. Stuckey says that now in the
Griffin-Spalding County Hospital
mothers of premature infants are
encouraged to come to the hospital to
“cuddle and love” their babies.
If it is true that plants are like people
it is no wonder that Dr. Ann’s thrive.
They get plenty of “tender love and
care.”
and-Shop Co. Inc. also included coupons
—for coffee. The ads urged customers
to find a substitute, but added, “If you
must buy coffee, buy it only when it’s on
sale,” and offered 70 cents off on a two
pound can.
In Syracuse, N.Y., on Monday, the
Consumer Affairs Office announced
that five major chains representing 33
area supermarkets had agreed to join
the campaign.

Carter sets tough ethics code
for himself, top federal officials
PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — President-elect
Carter today made public a tough
ethics code for top government officials
and pledged to free himself of any
possible conflict of interest by turning
over his prosperous peanut business to
trustees who will lease or sell it.
The ethics code requires presidential
nominees, starting with Cabinet
members, to divest themselves of any
holdings that could conflict with their
government duties and to submit
detailed statements of their personal
wealth.
In addition, for the first time, they
must sign a pledge to remain in
government for their full appointed
term, unless dismissed sooner. They
also must agree that for two years after
leaving government they will avoid any
private job that would cause them to
deal with their old departments or
agencies on matters that concerned
them as federal officials.

1976 was coldest year on record
ATLANTA (AP) — If you thought last year was the
coldest you could remember in Atlanta, you probably
were right.
The only year the average temperature was lower since
readings began to be recorded was 1885.
The National Weather Service said Monday that in 1976
Atlanta had an average temperature of 59.1 degrees, or 0.2
degrees wanner than the 58.9 of 1885.
Typically the average is 60.8.

establishing the firm in 1919. He was a
lifelong resident of Spalding County and
was active throughout his life in the

munity.
Mr. Bunn was a member of the First
United Methodist Church and the
Arthur Maddox Sunday School Class of

Another announcement said Carter’s
interest in Carter Farms Inc., which
consists of agricultural real estate in
this area, and Carter’s Warehouse, a
partnership that buys peanuts from
area farmers for subsequent
marketing, will be transferred to a
special trust.
It was not immediately clear what
would happen to $25,781 in common
stocks owned by Carter’s wife,
Rosalynn. A Carter aide had said last
September that Carter would sell his
stock holdings if elected.
Carter’s interest in Carter Farms
was valued at $348,444 on Dec. 31, 1975,
and his interest in Carter’s Warehouse
was valued at $330,062.
The land owned by Carter Farms will
be retained in the trust so long as he is
president and will be rented for an an
nual fixed amount.
“Thus,” the announcement said, “the
Carter family will not be affected
financially from profits or losses of any
of the farm operations.”
Carter’s Warehouse, in which the
President-elect is the principal partner,
while brother Billy and mother Lillian
have minority interests, “will be either
leased for four years for a fixed
amount, or sold, at the discretion of the
trustee,” the announcement said.
In either event, it said, “neither
Jimmy Carter, his wife nor children
will be affected financially from profits
or losses of any of the warehouse oper
ations.”

service said. The average is 58 days below freezing and 19

December’s monthly average was 39.8 degrees, or 3.7
degrees colder than normal. Atlanta had record low

Georgia cities, the service said.

Under the guidelines applying to
appointees, those named to the two
highest federal pay levels will have to
divest themselves of any interests that
would “more than rarely” cause them
to disqualify themselves because of
possible conflicts.
Those named to lower-paying jobs
would be required to divest themselves
of private holdings only if
“disqualification will seriously impair
the capability of the officer to perform
the duties of the office to which
nominated.”
It said Carter will issue an executive
order to spell out the financial
disclosures he will require.
Carter first promised to make the
ethics guidelines public on Dec. 20, but
his press secretary, Jody Powell, dis
