Saying that it helps them quit smoking, relax tensions or just plain pass the time, men like Spiro Agnew and Rosey Grier have taken up what used to be considered an all-female art. Ex-football tackle Grier even wrote a book about it. No one knows how long ago needlepoint was invented, but examples of the stitchery were found in ancient Egyptian tombs. In the Victorian era, mothers taught their daughters the art because “the Devil makes work for idle hands.” ' Ex-cornhusking champion spending $250,000 on Carter’s celebration GOODE NICHOLS Furniture Co.

Gov. George Busbee was to deliver his third State of the State address to a joint session of the legislature at noon and Sen. Lee Robinson, D-Macon, was to introduce the financial disclosure bill — an expansion of the present campaign dis closure law which includes only candidates for office. During a brief opening ses sion Monday, legislators were sworn in, officers were elected and rules were decided. Besides the ERA measure, bills introduced Monday in the Senate included proposals to eliminate state agencies that cannot justify continued WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Comhusking Cham pion of 1935 says he’s so happy that a fellow fanner is becom ing president that he’s spending $250,000 to help celebrate Jim my Carter’s inaugural. Elmer Carlson of Audubon, lowa, is hoping that as many as 6,000 people will attend each of the three inaugural parties he’s throwing in a Washington hotel ballroom next week. Carlson, who grew wealthy in existence and to change the status of the Committee on Economy, Reorganization and Efficiency in Government. In the House, bills were in troduced which would allow an adult to direct a physician to discontinue artificial life-sup port systems in case of terminal illness or injury, prohibit of ficers of political parties from serving on the state Ethics Commission and change from state to local government the testing of water under the fed eral Safe Drinking Act. The disclosure bill would re quire reports to the Ethics Commission of property hold ings of more than $2,500 in as sessed value, bank or savings accounts of more than $5,000 and the names of creditors owed SSOO or more (excluding retail installment debts). the hybrid seed and fertilizer business, is a Democratic activ ist and twice an unsuccessful candidate for Congress. He says he spent about |IO,OOO of his own money during the fall campaign for Des Moines newspaper ads that urged lowa farmers to vote for a fellow tiller of the soil. “We can appreciate the work they (the Carters) had to do, coming from a boondocks like Plains,” he says. Despite his efforts on Carter’s behalf, Carlson has been overlooked by those who com piled the inaugural committee’s invitation lists. But unlike oth ers who say they were snubbed, he’s not letting it bother him. “The ground is frozen out here anyway, so I’m going down to Washington for the in auguration,” he said. Carlson has an 1,800-acre farm that pro duces wheat, corn and soy beans. He’s got detailed plans for each night of the inaugural fes tivities. The first night’s party, next Tuesday, will feature beer, peanuts, popcorn and music by “Warren Covington and the Clambake Seven.” Things really heat up Wednesday night, inauguration eve, when Carlson has engaged the Duke Ellington Orchestra, led by Ellington’s son, Mercer.

They also would be required to list any governmental bodies which have contributed money, goods or services of SSOO or more to the groups to which the officials belong. Under the current disclosure law, candidates for all offices must report contributions of SIOO or more and their own dis bursements of slOl or more. Of ficeholders are not included in the law. The twice-defeated ERA was reintroduced amid pessimistic projections from supporters. “I think it has a better chance in the Senate than in the featured attraction on the big night itself. Carlson’s parties will feature a decor of hay, cornstalks and “peanut waterfalls,” which are' described as streamers of pea nut vines, hanging from the chandeliers. Carlson says he knows that Carter himself will have his hands full making it to each of the six official inaugural par ties. The official parties are open, for $25, only to people who received invitations. So Carlson’s not counting on the President-elect’s attendance. “At least he could send Billy through,” Carlson mused.
