> holds coffin
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)
, — Bill White, who has com-
* pleted his 10th day buried six
feet underground, says he has
been forced to hold his home-
/ made coffin together with “spit
and bubblegum.”
White said Tuesday that clay
above the coffin has damaged a
* brace near his head, causing
dirt to shift into the coffin
through a crack in the top.
1 , “It’s kind of annoying to wake
up every morning with an earful
of dirt,” said White, 43.
"Everytime I try to eat some-
’»’ thing, a spoonful of dirt falls in
it.”
White has a television and
t , telephone in his 3-by-24-by-€
’ foot coffin.
He plans to stay underground
for three weeks as a warm-up
for his planned 102-day stay lat
er this year. The world record
he hopes to break then is 101
, . days of burial.

For 3 and 4 year olds
Parents advised:
think 2 years ahead
Griffin and Spalding County
parents of preschool age
children should be thinking
almost two years ahead as they
make plans for their three and
4-year-olds.
The law has .been changed
regarding entrance age for
school which is to become
effective in 1978.
Senate Bill 8, passed by the
Georgia Genreal Assembly in
1975, establishes statewide
privisions for kindergarten and
first grade entry age.
Currently the law allows local
school systems flexibility in
setting entry age requirements
on Wednesday, March 23, from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Parents should register
children at the school which
serves their attendance area.
anytime between Sept. 1 and
Dec. 31. The law also provides,
however, that the entry age
date become Sept. 1 when a
preschool program is
implemented fully and funded
on a statewide basis or in any
event not later than Sept. 1,
1978.
“These privsions have far
reaching implications for
parents of preschoolers and for
local school officials” according
to Dr. H. Titus Singletary Jr.,
associate superintendent of
schools for instuctional
services, Georgia Department
of Education.
“Parents should understand
that the entrance age for
preschool next fall—in 1977—
should coincide with the change
to be made in 1978. If a child is
premitted to enter a preschool
program next year with an
entrance age date later than
Sept. 1,1977, the child could be
forced to sit our a year of school
in 1978 because he or she would
not be age six on Sept. 1,1978.”
Several Georgia school
systems are making plans now
to comply with the provisions of
the new law, which will affect
systems with kindergartens
first and all systems ultimately.
Parents of three and four
year olds should contact their
local school officials as early as
possible as they plan for their
child’s public school education.
“Local school officials are
anxious to help parents with
their planning and to avoid
confusion and delay in the
important early years,”
Singletary said.
