Preparation for marriage advised UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) — Marriage is difficult when a person is not prepared for it and today too many people are not ready when they marry, says Dr. Graham B. Spanier, assistant prolessor of human development at Penn sylvania State University. There are two ways in which people can become better pre pared for marriage, advises Dr. Spanier, who has done ex tensive research in family rela tions and is a member of the American Association of Mar riage and Family Counselors and the National Council on Family Relations. The first is through marriage education, especially at the high school level where, he claims, not enough is being done; the second is premarital counseling. Dr. Spanier also ad vises counseling to save a fal tering marriage. Suspect free to work farm ROBERTA, Ga. (AP) - A man convicted of murder in the shooting death of a neighbor will be free to work his Craw ford County farm under sher iff’s guard during the appeal of his conviction, a judge said Wednesday. Macon Judicial Circuit Judge George Culpepper 111 signed an order to allow John Shaw to work the farm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The order stipulated that Shaw’s family must pay the cost of the deputy assigned to guard him. Shaw was convicted March 4 in the 1976 rifle murder of his neighbor, Danny Ray. Ray was killed as he drove along a road separating the two farms. The victim’s brother, Robert Ray, an assistant to Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin, said he feared for Ray’s family despite the fact that Shaw will be under guard. Shaw is being held in the Carwford County Jail while his People Totie Fields LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedienne Totie Fields, who resumed her nightclub career only last month after her left leg was amputated a year ago, will enter Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto for eye surgery next week. Miss Fields will have a vitrectomy performed on her left eye, her manager, Howard Hinderstein, said Wed nesday. The operation, usually performed on diabetics, involves using light beams to seal off blood vessels that have hemorrhaged and caused formation of scar tissue. The comedienne’s leg was amputated because of a severe circulatory problem, and her quick return to performing has been mentioned as a possible reason for the complications causing the new surgery, Hinderstein said. He said she will spend about three weeks in the hospital. Lily Tomlin NEW YORK (AP) — The program for comedienne Lily Tomlin’s one-woman Broadway show no longer lists former opera star Zinka Milanov as a standby, Miss Tomlin’s lawyer has told a judge. Miss Milanov has filed a $2.2 million damage suit over the matter. “It was done with light-hearted humor,” lawyer Peter Parcher said Wednesday. He said there was “no such thing as a standby in a one-woman show ... No one who read the playbill would have taken it seriously.” But Miss Milanov, once the Metropolitan Opera’s leading soprano, did not think it funny. Her lawyer, John K. Warsaw, said the request for damages “still stands.” Rudy Vallee ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Chances are Rudy Vallee won’t be singing “My Time is Your Time” here anytime soon. Vallee, who lives in Los Angeles, recently appeared as a judge in the Boardwalk Easter parade and to promote a proposed entertainers’ hall of fame. His salty language upset a number of civic leaders. Some critics suggested he never come back. That was just fine with him, Vallee said in an even saltier letter to Atlantic City Press columnist Sonny Sch wartz. Andrew Wyeth PARIS (AP) — Andrew Wyeth has become the first na tive-born American painter inducted into the French Academy of Fine Arts. “Well, it’s a moment I never expected would happen to me,” the 59-year-old Wyeth said after the ceremony Wednesday, “and it’s sort of a dream to have an American standing in this r00m.... It’s very hard to put into words, but I’m very thrilled." conviction is appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals. Shaw’s younger brother, Gra dy Shaw, awaits trial on a mur der charge in Ray’s death. Lawyers asked to document rights abuses ATLANTA (AP) - The presi dent-elect of the American Bar Association urged lawyers throughout the world Wednes day to document abuse of hu man rights “so that when tyr anny is called before the court of world opinion lawyers will be able to testify effectively for justice.” “I believe that a threat to one man’s liberty is a threat to every man’s liberty,” William B. Spann Jr., an Atlanta attor ney, told a conference of the In ter-American Bar Association. “In a society that condones the abuse of one of its citizens, none of its citizens is safe be cause it is the nature of power to consume all competing forces,” he said. “As lawyers, we understand that the rule of law is to restrain and order power so that it will serve, not destroy human rights.” Spann said he recognized cer tain reservations attorneys from other nations might have. “I do not know what is needed in each country to increase concern for human rights, and it would be insensitive to stand here in safety and comfort and tell others how to conduct and possibly lose their professional careers,” he said. “I can only speak with assur ance from my own experience. In our country, we have found that the best and most lasting solution to the abuse of human rights comes from constant, un relenting pressure by lawyers working with the media, aca demics, jurists, clerics and those who for want of a better word can be called ... the people.” | GIVE MOTHER THE BEST la.
