Carpentry course offered Carpentry is a one year program at Griffin Tech. The course consists of classroom and shop experiences involving layout, fabrication, assembly, installation, and repair of structural units. Included in instruction is the care and use of hand and power tools; equipment and material estimates are also included. The strength of the carpentry program at Griffin Tech is the experience gained through a “live” project. Students have the opportunity to work on'all phases of carpentry during the construction of a house. Job opportunities for carpenters should be plentiful over the long run. Because of a large number of people employed in this field, replacement needs are high. Besides the job openings that result from the need to replace carpenters who retire, die, or transfer to other occupations, many openings will be created by employment growth,” a Griffin Tech spokesman said. Griffin Tech has openings in the carpentry program for the summer quarter beginning July 11. Mrs. Frazier Mrs. Mabel Lackey Frazier, 83, of Thomaston died Thursday at Upson County Hospital.

Court reverses order to Jarvis ATLANTA (AP) — An order requiring DeKalb County Sher iff Pat Jarvis to accept bail bonds from the J & J Bonding Co. has been reversed and sent back to a lower court by the Georgia Supreme Court. The high court told a Superior Court it “must decide whether the appellant (Jarvis) is in compliance with the provisions of the new law.” On March 11, an amendment to the state’s bail bond law went into effect. Seven days earlier, the Superior Court had enjoined Jarvis from discriminating against the firm and ordered him to return the name of the company to a list kept for bail bondsmen at the DeKalb County Jail. In a decision Tuesday, the Supreme Court said the act gives the sheriff, not the Supe rior Court, the power to accept bonds in felony cases. In the unanimous opinion written by Justice Jesse Bowl es, the court said: “It requires the sheriff to publish and post written rules and regulations defining acceptable sureties and under what conditions su reties may be accepted.” The company, which was in business in DeKalb County four years before Jarvis took office, charged the sheriff had refused to accept or approve any bond DANCE Saturday Night VFW Post 5448 1205 W.
