(AP) — Athens Fire Chief Tom Eberhart isn’t asking for more men to fight fires. He just wants a computer. A computer “would be a defi nite asset to the city, but a lot of work would have to be done,’’ Eberhart said. He said buildings in the city would have to be surveyed and the information fed into the computer. Then, when an alarm sounded, the computer would tell exactly where the fire was, what type of structure was burning, how many persons might be in it, the exact location and size of the nearest water supply and if there were any special hazards in the building. Last year the department re sponded to 2,130 alarms in which nearly $2 million in dam age was reported. “What we have here is a total lack of respect jML 4th Record for the law!” JBf Jp Breaking Week »<■» iV FA j t .-i '* -VB"' Burt Reynolds “Smokey».n.

Hill, a biologist and professor at the Fisheries Fa cilities of the Coastal Plains Experiment Station. “It should take another five years for us to come up with the ultimate catfish,” he added. Hill said researchers have found that catfish breed well in 10-gallon milk cans. “I guess that can is just as good for them as a hollow log on a river bed—or better,” he said. The size of fish a farmer raises depends on which market the fanner wants to deal with. “The processors, the ones who dress and freeze the fish for the supermarkets and fish stores, want a fish that dresses out at about a pound,” Hill said. “But the catfish restaurants want a smaller fish.” Hill said fish at the station gain about one pound of weight for every one and a half pounds of feed. Researchers have been able to cut the ration of feed to fish size by selective breeding. “We’d like to get that down to 1.1 pounds of feed, and we think it is possible,” he said. Involvement in Oman protested ATLANTA (AP) — About 200 persons marched around the state Capitol Thursday, protest ing America’s involvement in the Persian Gulf country of Oman. The demonstrators, many of them Iranians, chanted and carried signs which said, “U.S. Out of Persian Gulf,” and “Shah’s Troops Out of Oman.” A spokesman said the protest, one of a series throughout the nation, was to condemn U.S. support of the Shah of Iran, who controls Oman,' a tiny country on the Persian Gulf. “Being totally defeated in In dochina, the U.S. monopolies have placed all their hopes on • the Persian Gulf,” said a state ment distributed by the demon strators, who said they were members of the Iranian Stu dents Association. The statement also accused the media of a news blackout on activites in the country, which has a population of about 200,000. House to reconsider government role in funding legal abortions WASHINGTON (AP) - The House is preparing to reconsid er the federal government’s role in funding abortions after voting to prevent the use of tax money to finance crosstown busing of school children. By a margin of 225-157, the House sought Thursday to pre vent the use of federal funds to pay for busing in school dis tricts that merge, pair or clus ter their schools under deseg regation orders from the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare. Amendments on abortion, af firmative action and other sen sitive issues were likely to come up today as the House resumed consideration of a $61.3 billion Southern Presbyterians asked to oppose homosexuality NASHVILLE (AP) - South ern Presbyterians will be asked to declare flatly that “homosex uality is a sin” when the 117th General Assembly of the Pres byterian Church in the U.S. (PCUS) convenes Saturday. The requested statement, presented by the Asheville, N. C.

The corps began practice on Jan 2, 1977 and will make its competitive debut in Wheeling, 111. on June 26. The corps drum major Don Grimsley of Austell, Ga., will be out front at the debut. (AP) appropriation bill for the departments of Labor and HEW. The busing amendment, pro posed by Rep. Ronald Mottl, D- Ohio, strips HEW of the power to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act provision barring dis crimination on the basis of race, religion, color or creed. It prevents the use of funds to bus pupils to any school other than the one nearest their home. Opponents of the amendment argued it would not affect court ordered busing. They also said the subject was an in appropriate topic for debate during discussion of a funding bill. The expected debate on abor tion centers on whether federal marriages between members of the same sex “contrary to the divine plan,” but offers “Christian help and counsel” to assist homosexuals in changing their ways. Floor debate on the two homosexuality proposals is ex pected to come on Wednesday or Thursday of the week-long session. The 410 voting delegates rep resenting Presbyterians in 16 southern states will also have before them a 25-page study prepared by the denomination’s Council on Theology and Cul ture outlining causes and char acter of homosexuality and analyzing the church’s alterna tives. The study asks for responses from the churches and church 'feiane Van fashion fqewear Because your eyes should have it!

The bill calls for prohibiting the use of federal money for abortions except when a woman’s life is in dan ger, a position opponents say denies poor women abortions. Last year’s bill contained similar language and is being appealed in court to test its constitutionality. The affirmative action amendment would bar hiring or admissions quotas based on race or sex. Opponents claim it would undermine guarantees against discrimination con tained in civil rights legislation. In addition to the questions on social isses, the appropriations measure is controversial because of differences over money. members instead of a statement from the assembly, but it does present a judgment that Christians should advocate and defend homosexuals’ equal rights and protection from so cial and economic dis crimination. A Miami ordinance protecting homosexuals from dis crimination in housing and em ployment was repealed earlier this month after a well-publi cized drive led by Anita Bryant and cheered by many church groups. The Southern Baptist Con vention voted Thursday in Kan sas City to commend Miss Bryant’s campaign. The House Democratic lead ership has President Carter’s support for the bill, despite Carter’s opposition to two pro grams. The President at one time had suggested he might veto the bill if it called for more spending than he favored. But under a compromise ar ranged between the White House and the House leadership in recent days, Carter has agreed to drop his threat to veto the House bill if no costly amendments are added and if the House works toward phas ing out programs he opposes. The programs opposed by Carter call for aid to school dis tricts in areas with large feder al installations and for a na tional direct student loan pro gram. Including the programs in the bill raised the measure’s cost to $740 million above Carter’s request, but SIO.B billion below last year’s appropriation.

Ford II NEW YORK (AP) - Edsel B. Ford 11, 28-year-old great grandson of the founder of Ford Motor Co., marked the firm’s 75th anniversary by leading a nostalgic motorcade of shiny vintage autos down lower Broadway. Mayor Abraham Beame accompanied Ford on the noonhour cavalcade Thursday in a 1911 Model T Ford touring car. As auto buffs watched the dozen gleaming ancient autos, spectators lining the six-block route from City Hall to Liberty Street cheered a 1916 doubledecker Fifth Avenue bus laden with passengers. After the motorcade reached Liberty Street, Beame, Ford and other officials attended a luncheon at the New York Chamber of Commerce. Don Boltes widow PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) — The widow of Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles, whose death from a car bombing triggered a lengthy investigation by reporters, will marry a Phoenix insurance executive. Court records revealed that Rosalie Bolles, 37, and Donald Alexander, 41, took out a marriage license June 9. Alexander confirmed that he and Mrs. Bolles will be married Saturday in Phoenix, but declined to give further details. Bolles, 47, was fatally wounded June 2, 1976, when a bomb triggered by remote control exploded beneath his car at a midtown hotel. He had been lured to the hotel by a promise of information on land fraud involving prominent Arizona politicians. Bolles died June 13. John Harvey Adamson, 33, a dog breeder and han dyman, later admitted placing the bomb was sentenced to 20 years in prison in exchange for testimony against two alleged confederates, both of whom are to be tried on first degree murder charges next month. Anita Bryant NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Anita Bryant’s arrival Friday for a concert is such a well-kept secret that even the manager of the performance says he doesn’t know when she is getting here or where she is staying. Pat Twoley, manager of the annual Summer Pops concerts, said Thursday that Miss Bryant’s arrival and her hotel are not being disclosed “for security reasons.” Church groups backing the Florida singer’s stand on homosexuality plan a rally outside the hall where she is to perform Friday night, while homosexuals say they will demonstrate before her Saturday show. Idi Amin NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Ugandan President Idi Amin claims that 19 Britons carried him on their shoulders for 11% miles on his way to a meeting in the capital of Kampala. The original plan was for the bearers to carry him for 25 miles, according to a speech by Amin carried by official Radio Uganda. There was no confirmation of the report. A military spokesman quoted earlier by Radio Uganda said the Britons would carry the burly dictator to demonstrate solidarity with the people of Uganda. ; "The Shugg* Band" i • Saturday Night, ; : June 18 • ■ : Barnesville Moose lodge i ■ Come On Down For A Good : ■ Time And Rock & Roll Music! • B j 9 Til 12 j
