Mark is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Pilcher, of Griffin. Two other students who transferred to Gordon to take math-science courses have been accepted in the pre-pharmacy Joke ends with fine PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Barry Laessig thought it was a joke when a policeman pulled him over to the curb last week. Laessig was riding his new bi cycle. It was no joke, however, and the officer gave Laessig a $35 ticket for going through a stop sign. Laessig had violated Pennsyl vania’s new Motor Vehicle program. They are Tony Coker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Coker of Griffin, and Keith Jones, son of Dr. and Mrs. Alex P. Jones, of Griffin. Ed Hays of Griffin will enter pre-medicine at the University of Georgia following his graduation from Gordon summer quarter. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Hays.

Code, which requires bicyclists to observe the same traffic laws as motorists. The only difference is that the fine for running a stop sign on a bicycle is only $lO, not $35. A police sergeant in the 35th District said “the officer may have erred in the fine” and suggested Laessig contact the city’s Traffic Court. “I think it’s ridiculous,” Laessig said. “What about a 10- year-old kid. Are they going to fine him?” Police said they aren’t going after every bike rider, only those who cause problems for police and motorists. That won’t include Laessig anymore. His bike was stolen Wednesday. YOUf NeigHßor DICK HYATT 523 East Taylor St. Phone 227-2188 See him for all your family insurance needs. Lit A iT*Ti Good Hoighbor.

Illinois Sleep Scientists are unlocking secrets of people’s habits and their needs Sleep is something that we all need in order to be functional, alert human beings. We spend almost a third of our lives sleeping. Still, one of the most common complaints voiced is that we didn’t sleep well or we just didn’t get enough of it to feel relaxed and rested the next morning. What is sleep? How much of it does an average person need? And what are some of the reasons we all periodically experience insomnia? Dr. Willard Quillian, a psychiatrist at the Medical College of Georgia, says that the first comprehensive studies to an swer such questions began in 1968 but sicence is just now beginning to unlock some of the “sandman’s secrets.” Dr. Quillian states, “Sleep is a period of time in which the body performs numerous homeostatic mechanisms that serve to maintain body equilibrium. By monitoring the brain wave activity of the reticular formation, a very complicated part of the brain, we can tell the difference between someone who is asleep and someone who is un- Roads Special meeting produces results A specially called meeting between State of Georgia High way Commissioner Tom Moreland, and the Pike County Commissioners produced a number of desired results. One of the matters of prime im portance, was a new bridge on Dripping Rock road which extends through the south end of Pike County into Upson County. Commissioner Moreland agreed to assist the county with a new bridge. Pike County Chairman J.H. Chapman, said “We are very pleased at this news. Also agreed upon, was the resurfacing of the streets all around the courthouse square, a County’s labor force up but unemployment holds Boosted upward by an influx of graduates and summer youth into the job market, Spalding County’s total labor force jumped by 317 persons in June, from 21,375 in May to 21,692, according to figures released by the Georgia Department of Labor. Spalding County’s unem ployment rate held the line at 6.1 percent for June, but last year this time the county’s unemployment rate was 10.4, with 18,645 persons working and 2,157 unemployed. “Spurred upward by an influx of graduates and summer youth into the job market, Georgia’s labor force jumped by 24,600 in I ULI I I fr] t W)4)4 4)4 nv4 !

Sleep is a physiological process. In other words, you can hit someone in the head and they are not asleep by any stretch of the imagination; they are un conscious. “Unconsciousness is just a low level of brain function while sleep is a process that starts out very lightly and gradually gets deeper and deeper. The im portant thing is for people to realize that unconsciousness and sleep are not the same.” The psychiatrist says, “There are 4 stages of sleep which progress from very light to very deep where the entire body metabolism slows down. In the third stage, a phenomenon called rapid eye movement or REM occurs. If you’re monitoring someone, you can actually see their eyes move rapidly from side to side.” It has been found through experimentation that if a person is continually deprived of the REM phase, “then sooner or later the patient or person will become very disturbed or very irritable, and if it’s done to a maximum point, they can become psychotic and project to be completed by late fall with no expense to the county or city. Other matters agreed upon was the paving of Dunn street in Molena, and the paving of the last part of the Nazarene Church road. The dangerous curve in the Zebulon-Williamson Road will also be verified by state engineers and any necessary improvements for safety will be made to the bridge at the curve, as well as possible widening of the road north of the curve. This road will also be centerlined from Highway 19 to the City of Williamson. June, from 2,208,700 in May to 2,233,300,” said Labor Com missioner Sam Caldwell. “Os that number,” Com missioner Caldwell said, “2,084,900, or 93.4 percent, are employed, while 148,400, or 6.6 percent, are still looking for work. Last month, ther state’s unemployment rate was 6.2 percent, but last year this time it was even greater, at 8.7 percent.” The number of persons em ployed in Spalding County rose by 295, from 20,079 in May to 20,374 in June, while the number of persons jobless was increasing also by 22 from 1,296 to 1,318. disoriented—it’s a classical syndrom. You’ve got to get your REM sleep in and different people require different amounts of sleep to attain their needed portion of REM. Two hours can be sufficient for one person and 10 for another. When a person is young, he needs more sleep because many of the physiological processes are not mature, but as we get older, we don’t require as much sleep.” Dreaming occurs during the REM portion of sleep. “People will often say that they slept well during the night and they didn’t dream at all. But they just don’t remember. The dreams you remember are the ones that you have just before you wake up.” In addition, Dr. Quillian feels an important distinction should be made between sleep and rest. He believes an individual must know when to “slow down” and rest as well as when to sleep. “We can get all of the physiological processes in, but we also need a certain amount of rest. There are many human beings who, unfortunately, feel like they’ve got to work all the time, then they’ve got to realize that they’re going to have to pay the consequences sooner or later.” Dr. Quillian believes there are various reasons a person might experience occasional insomnia. As a person ages, he doesn’t get the same depth of sleep as he did when he was younger. “We just don’t sleep as soundly at night because we sleep a little lighter and, therefore, there is always something to wake us up. But I think most people will find if they’ll just turn over, they’ll usually go right back to sleep.” Depression and anxiety are other common causes of sleep disturbance. “As a rule of Open Sunday 1 to 6 p.m. Sportin’ Bp ) New Casual / Easy-care Suedine Oxford / has Ribbed Action Sole.

With depression, on the other hand, a person usually goes to sleep fairly easily but then wakes up early which is called early morning insomnia.” Dr. Quillian doesn’t necessarily feel that sleeping pills are the answer to in somnia. However, sometimes the use of an anti-depressant has a good sedative action and serves to improve sleeping patterns. A well-balanced program of exercise and nutrition, or even a glass of warm milk before going to bed, often will aid in establishing normal sleeping patterns and “it’s just naturally going to follow that you are going to have more quality of your life.” One of the by-products of our fast-paced society, Dr. Quillian says, is the attitude that if a crisis arises, we must have an “immediate, instantaneous answer” to the problem. “The thing you have to understand about sleep disturbances is that they are usually in themselves self-limiting. It’s a matter of trying not to over react to it and realize it is a part of life and go on and get as good a night’s sleep as anybody else.” COUNTY RESIDENTS VOTE NO Plan ahead for your county school system.
