School system makes own application to EDA The Griffin-Spalding School System has decided not to play second fiddle to a new water tank. School representatives asked the city commissioners last week for federal money for additional classrooms at Anne Street school for kindergartens. The city commissioners, however, voted to seek $604,104 of federal public works funds for a new water tank to replace one that has worn out. This would have left the school short of its request for kindergarten money. The federal government has marked $899,000 for Griffin projects. The school system wanted the kindergarten money to come from this. Not getting enough to cover ftiHasliinigiton The deuce is a loser By Martha Angle and Robert Walters WASHINGTON (NEA) — The Treasury Department, which has been having its troubles revamping the nation’s coins and currency, has a new problem on its hands: the deuce is a dud. The $2 bill that began rolling off the government’s printing presses in April 1976 just isn’t “selling.’’ Although more than 500 million of the bills have been issued to date, only about 45 per cent of them have actually gone into circulation. Unless usage improves substantially over the next few years, Treasury will probably yank the $2 bill off the market. From the government’s viewpoint, currency is like any other product: if it doesn't “sell,” it isn't worth printing. The problem with the $2 bill, according to government of ficials, is not ordinary consumer resistance but the reluctance of retail merchants to utilize and circulate the new denomina tion. Supermarkets, convenience stores and other retail outlets have been slow to stock up on $2 bills. This means relatively few are given out as change to customers and consequently, the bill has not obtained widespread circulation. Officials say the merchants offer all sorts of excuses for not using the s2'bill. Some claim they have no space in the cash register for a new denomination, although manufacturers of the machines insist there is an extra compartment which could be used for the $2 bill. Other merchants fret about the possibility of employee carelessness in handling the bill, fear ing it will be mixed up with $1 bills. “It’s just a matter of habit, a reluctance to change procedures,” said James A. Conlon, director of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. “We have every evidence that the average citizen is receptive, and we re working now to bring the retail community around.” Commentary At one point, the Treasury Department planned a $300,000 public relations campaign to promote use of the $2 bill. But the idea was dropped when several top officials decided the tax payers might look askance at an expenditure of more than a quarter-million dollars to promote a bill worth only $2. One helpful businessman sent the department a sample T shirt emblazoned with a facsimile of the beleaguered bill and a slogan, “Use the Deuce!” He offered to start producing the shirt in large quantities as a patriotic gesture, but the Secret Service — which doesn’t think much of any reproductions of official currency — confiscated the sample and vetoed further production. The only place in the country where the $2 bill has gained widespread acceptance is Portland, Ore., where executives of the Safeway supermarket chain and the Plaid Pantries con venience stores made a concerted effort to circulate the bill As a result of their campaign, use of the bill jumped 2.000 per cent in just over a month. “The Portland experience proves it can be done.” Conlon said. There is a considerable potential savings to be gained if the government can persuade people to use the $2 bill, since the printing of $1 bills now accounts for 60 per cent of the annual workload of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The Bureau currently prints about 1.8 billion $1 bills each year, at a cost of $15.25 per thousand. Because the $1 bill is so heavily used, it has an average life span of only 18 to 20 months. But if the Treasury Department can ever achieve its original goal of replacing half the $1 bills in circulation with the new $2 bill, the government can save some $5 to $6 million annually. “It’s going to take considerably longer than the five years we had expected, but the thing makes so much sense pragmatically that we just have to believe the deuce will win out,” said Conlon. REV. JORDAN Curtis Patton, the new minister of music, is formerly of Hattiesbury, Miss. He at*, tended William Carey College. Mr. Patton has served as minister of music for New Hope Baptist Church, Fayetteville; Hammond Park Baptist, Atlanta; and Mt. Gilead Bap tist, Griffin. He and his wife, Ann, reside in Fayetteville and have three children, Debbie, 15; Curt, 12; and Chris, 6. the need, the school system decided to apply directly to Economic Development Administration for $330,000 for the classrooms. If granted, this amount would come from Griffin. Supt. D.B. Christie an nounced the application was a being made. He said the additional space would permit the system to expand its already crowded kindergarten program. He pointed out the state is funding public kindergartens at 25 per cent level, and has indicated full support for them within a few years. Funding by EDA would insure classroom space for the eligible children Christie reasoned. National Guard headed for camp Georgia Guardsmen from Griffin TRPE, 348th CAV, will travel by convoy to Fort Stewart, Ga.,July 9 for two weeks of intensive field training maneuvers. They will be among 4,000 Guardsmen who make up the Army Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade (Mechanized), headquartered in Macon and commanded by Brigadier General Raymond E.

Under the “roundout” con- cept, the Guard’s 48th Brigade is counted as part of the total makeup of the active Army division. If the 24th were to be mobilized for combat, the guard brigade would be ordered to duty with the division. Opt. William T. Thielemann, commander of TRP E, 348th CAV indicated his officers and men are ready to meet the objectives of this summer’s training. Cpt. William T.
