Page 10 — Griffin Daily News Friday, April 22, 1977 Magazine editor Successful ex-Griffinite remembers home town Spalding County holds a special place in the heart of an editor of one of the nation’s leading fashion magazines, “Mademoiselle." Lynn Scott, midwest editor, was bom in Griffin and looks forward to twice yearly visits with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Hannon Scott of near Brooks. “I just love being down here where the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming, away from all the traffic and noise,” said Lynn, who lives on the 20th floor of a 54-story high-rise on Chicago’s Michigan shore. Even though her parents were living in Detroit at the time of her birth, Lynn was bom in Griffin. “My mother flew back here (Griffin) to have me because they didn’t want their daughter to be a Yankee,” she explained. Mr. Scott’s work with American Airlines took the family "all over”, including Abilene and Big Spring, Texas; Atlanta and Nashville. Upon retirement several years ago, the Scotts returned to his native Spalding County to settle down. Lynn remembers going to a portion of the second grade in Williamson. “There were 2 girls in the class and I was one,” she { BURGLAR& FIRE ALARMS 1 Protect Yourself 1 ) 8 j Your Family ( ( * From Vandalism ( ) * ' Theft or Fire 1 I With An Engineered < ( Electronic Alarm System j 1 Nationally Known Equipment ( Factory Trained Installers < f Nearly Ten Years Experience J 1 Reasonable Costs ( Free Estimates ( GRIFFIN ELECTRONICS ( 228-2885 1 H|| I ill I— l t i // "‘,<r£ At>Eß ' mSShI ■aggH p-j R9SM| / today's furniture N. warmth J BjU Invites You To Our HI UHffll I MM GRAND OPENING wl KB CELEBRATION H| SSI Now thru Saturday, April 23rd MKH BB Ou' Furn.tur* it th* result of handcrafting i*l*ct Ponderosa Pin* into o line of tturdy functional country furniture t hand cut hand nailed and hand Ba M|l EEOt REGISTER FOR THESE GREAT DOOR PRIZES |gSS| ■ NO OBLIGATION...JUST REGISTER PRIOR TO APRIL 23 Ist PRIZEReg.

After graduating from the University of Kentucky in clothing, costume design and merchandising, Lynn worked in a Dallas department store in its executive training program, then went with Bobbie Brooks, junior clothing manufacturer, to handle national publicity and promotion. She has been with “Mademoiselle” since 1970, where a lot of her time is spent in retail promotion and acting as a liaison between the magazine and retail specialty stores. “Mademoiselle” has a circulation of 875,000 and is published primarily for young women from 18 to 30 years old. Its readers are in the upper income brackets, predominately single and higher educated. Most of its staff are women, although the editor-in-chief has a male secretary and there is a man on the editorial staff, she said. As midwest editor, Lynn’s territory covers Michigan, west to North Dakota, and triangles down through Texas. “There’s no typical week. That’s what makes the job so much fun. I do such a tremendous amount of traveling, I’m thinking of subletting my condominium and taking night flights,” she laughed. She is now working on the August issue of “Mademoiselle,” published by Conde Nast Publishing, Inc., which also owns “Vogue,” “Brides”, “Glamour” and “House and Garden” magazines. They are all published in the same building. “They are nice people to work for, but it’s a treat for me to get down here in the open air,” she said.

(AP) Energy package Carter plan is void of average By ANN BLACKMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Carter’s energy message bristles with facts, figures and requests to sacrifice, but it doesn’t specify a price tag for the average American family. Each of the country’s 72 mil lion households spent about sl,- 208 for such energy items as heat, light and gasoline in 1976, according to government fig ures. But Carter’s senior energy advisors either don’t know or won’t say what each household will spend if Congress passes the President’s plan. The government says the av erage size of an American household is, in round numbers, about three people. It defines a household as one or more people living in a single housing unit. Here’s what the government says heating a house cost in 1976: —For households that heat with oil, an average of $550. —For households that heat with natural gas, $235. —For households that heat with electricity, $290. There were 58 million fami lies that owned at least one car in 1970, the latest year for which government figures are available. The study shows that the average car-owning house hold spent about $Bl5 for 1,379 gallons of gasoline in 1976. Carter’s proposals would add about seven cents per gallon to the cost of gasoline, fuel oil and other petroleum products by 1980 through a series of taxes on crude oil. That means the average car owning household would have to spend about $96 more a year to make the car run. On top of that, if people don’t cut back in use of gasoline, they will face a further gasoline tax of five cents per gallon by 1979. That would add about $69 a year in taxes {done to a household’s bill. The total increase to house holds with at least one car would be about $165 by 1980, if people don’t cut back and Car ter has his way. Carter has asked Congress to return some of his proposed new energy taxes to the public in the form of tax rebates and refunds. The figures show that about 39 million American households are heated with natural gas. The FEA says that the average household that heats with gas used about 125,000 Cubic feet in 1976 at a cost of just under $2 per thousand cubic feet to the household. If Carter’s plan should in crease the price of natural gas to households by 25 cents per thousand cubic feet, which sources say is possible, the av- r wuMtJ / " \V \¥—i COMPLETE GARAGE WITH 20' x 22' //| / \ 16 FT. | o door — “/ J Double-Qar Garage is a large 20' x 22' with \ > ) a 16 ft. door.

State insect HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The praying mantis has come a step closer to becoming Connecticut’s state insect, despite an argument that the bug can be rather beastly. The insect won unanimous committee approval even after an off the-record speech by a lawmaker who asked the committee to remember that the female praying mantis “camivorously consumes” the male after mating.
