Ride sharing will be part
of energy conservation plan
By BRENDA MOONEY
Associated Press Writer,
ATLANTA (AP) — A comput
erized ride-sharing program for
metropolitan Atlanta will be a
part of Georgia’s compliance
with the federally mandated
energy conservation guidelines,
Gov. George Busbee said today.
“In the industrial and com
mercial ride-sharing
program,” he said, “the
Georgia Department of
Transportation, with federal
funding provided by the Office
of Energy Resources, will assist
large firms in the Atlanta
metropolitan area in ride
sharing programs.”

At least 4 people have been
injured in separate traffic
accidents.
Susan Patricia Phillips, 20, of

treated in the Griffin-Spalding
emergency room following a

Patient
(Continued from page one.)
Nancy spends a lot of her time
comforting families of seriously ill
patients. During the hours they are not
allowed in the coronary and intensive
car units, she can check on a patient
and relay to the relatives exactly
what’s happening.
When a traveling salesman passing
through Griffin had a heart attack,
Nancy notified his family and helped
them with motel accommodations.
Although it’s impossible for her to
meet every patient, she sees as many
as possible and tries to do the “little
things that mean so much when
someone is sick.”
She lends patients books and
magazines, contacts their friends and
ministers and even arranges for
celebration of their birthdays. She tries
to correct any problems or complaints
and helps with such things as arranging
private duty nurses and answering
Medicare questions.
The program’s primary goal is to
show patients and their families that
the hospital has a personal concern that
their needs are meet, emotionally and
psychologically, as well as medically.
Nancy graduated from the University
of Georgia in 1975 and has worked in
Boulder, Colo., counseling in family
workshops with a social services
agency.
She and her husband, Mark, a
building contractor, live in Concord.

Busbee said the state’s pro
posal also complies with ther
mal efficiency standards for
new and renovated buildings,
lighting efficiency standards for
public buildings, and standards
and policies to promote energy
efficiency in all levels of gov

However, the governor said
compliance with the federal
program will not allow Georgia
to achieve the 5 per cent savings
goal.
As a result, he said, the State
of Georgia will provide energy
management programs to the
state’s businesses and in
dustries, local government and
schools.
He said also that a massive
public information program
will be provided.

Happy

Jason Goodman
A party was given in honor of
Jason Goodman’s first birthday
at city park by his parents, Mr.

train cake, ice cream, punch
and party favors.

Rudzinski, Mr. and Mrs. Chuck
Wilson, Mark Michael and

state.
The program will be financed
with $700,000 for the last six
months for 1977 and up to $3.3
million through 1980 if the pro
posal is accepted.
Presently, he said, the state
only is asking funds from the
Energy Policy and Con
servation Act, but the Energy
Conservation and Production
Act also has funds available.
The governor did not say if
the state would legislate con
servation measures if the vol
unteer program did not work,
but he said Congress may be put
in that position.
He said he believes U.S. de
pendence on foreign oil “when
you have five or six men who
can bring this country down to
its knees” is extremely dan
gerous.
“I think this is a dangerous
position to be in and that we will
have to come up with many
conservation programs, many
that will be mandated by the
Congress.”
