Convert
MIAMIA, Fla. — Martha Willie, a 100-year-old widow and
member of South Florida’s Miccosukee Indian tribe, has
decided to convert to Christianity. Last month she at
tended a revival meeting conducted by a Navajo
evangelist and was baptized by immersion. Although the
great-grandmother speaks no English, she likes the hymn
“Amazing Grace” and sings “Hallelujah” in her native
tongue. (AP)

Georgia handbook
An interstate guide
for today’s traveler
By BILL ANDERSON
Associated Press Writer
If you’re planning one last big
“See Georgia" trip before this
year ends, here’s a rundown on
the interstate highway
system—what’s completed on
the major routes, where the
gaps are, and completion target
dates as estimated by the state
Department of Transportation:
1-16: Macon to Savannah, to
tal route 165 miles, 127 miles
open, 38-mile gap from Soperton
to near Register, completion
target between June and August
of next year.
1-20: Augusta to Alabama line
at Heflin, total route 202 miles,
178 miles open, 24-mile gap
from Villa Rica, Ga., to Heflin,
target for completion is
Thanksgiving of this year.
1-75: Tennessee line at Chat
tanooga to Florida line south of
Valdosta, total route 355 miles,
331.4 miles open, 23.6-mile gap
from north of Marietta across
Lake Allatoona to northeast of
Cartersville, opening for Christ
mas traffic this year. (When
this gap is closed 1-75 will be
complete from Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich., to Tampa, Fla.)
1-85: South Carolina line in
northeast Georgia to the Ala
bama line near Lanett, total
route 170 miles, 151 miles open,
19-mile gap between Grantville
and LaGrange, expected to be
completed before Thanksgiving
this year.
1-95: Hardeeville, S.C., down
the Georgia coast to St. Marys,
Fla., total route 111.7 miles, 91.1
miles completed; two open
segments, from Savannah to the
South Carolina line, open Aug.
26 this year, and about 8 miles
below Brunswick, should be
open by Christmas this year.
And then there is 1-185, the
last major working project in
the interstate system in Geor
gia. It will connect Columbus to
1-85 near LaGrange, 43.6 miles
when completed, 2.2 miles open
now. The state hopes to have it
all open in the first quarter of
1979.
WATCH THAT STINGER:
State health authorities say
some folks think the bee is only
a nuisance that can do no more
than sting you if you get in its
way. Right? Wrong. The bee
can kill you.
And that goes for wasps, yel
low jackets, hornets and ants,
too.
Sensitivity can come about
fast, they say. About 50 per cent
of persons highly allergic to
insect stings have had no
previous indication they are de
veloping severe sensitivity.
Some symptoms to watch for:
labored breathing, difficulty in
swallowing, hoarseness, or
thickened speech, weakness,
confusion and a feeling of im
pending disaster. Other more
serious symptoms include low
ered blood pressure, collapse or
unconsciousness.
Quick medical treatment is
the answer.
CANCER SIGNALS: It’s esti
mated that one of every four
Americans will eventually have
cancer. But the American Can
cer Society says if it’s diag
nosed early enough, one out of
every three can be saved.
You’ve probably heard these
warning signals before, but a
review might be just the thing to
help save a life:
—A change in bowel or blad
der habits, possible warnings of
cancer in the colon or prostate
gland.
—A sore that does not heal, a
possible indication of skin or
mouth cancer.
—Unusual bleeding or dis
charge, possible warnings of
cancer in the womb, cervix or
bowel; and just because you
have hemorrhoids, don’t ignore
rectal bleeding.
—A thickening or lump in the
breast or elsewhere—usually
not cancer but early discovery
and prompt treatment of breast
cancer are life-saving.
—lndigestion or difficulty in
swallowing, which could be
warnings of cancer in the stom
ach or esophagus.
—An obvious change in a wart
or mole may warn of skin
cancer.
—Nagging cough, hoarseness
or a lump-in-the-throat feeling
may indicate cancer of the
lungs or voice box, and ciga
rette smokers should be par
ticularly alert to these signals.
USEFUL HINTS, from the
Extension Service:
—Keep a box of baking soda
in the glove compartment of
your car to use as an emergency
fire extinguisher for an engine
fire. Soda also will smother fire
in a seat cushion or floor mat,
and a sprinkling of it in ashtrays
will prevent cigarettes from
smoldering.
—Ashes from fireplaces and
wood-burning stoves can be
used to supplement fertilizers
and condition the soil in vege
table gardens and flower beds.
—Keeping bedroom doors
closed will delay the spread of
fire and allow more escape
time; it takes 10 to 15 minutes
for fire to burn through a wood
en door.
—To seal an envelope so it
can’t be steamed open, use egg
white.
Wordy
sermons
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Now
that vacilando, anamnesis and
tohubohu have been dealt with,
the Rev. Dr. Leslie Pugh is
preparing sermons on pastiche,
accidie and anomia.
Summer Sundays are a good
time to use “unusual and pre
posterous” words as sermon
themes, says the pastor of
Mayflower Congregational
Church, a United Church of
Christ parish.
July and August, Dr. Pugh
says, is “a ready-made time to
do things which people can
smile at.”
On July 24, the pastor used
“vacilando” to describe his
wanderings, meaning that he
was going somewhere but didn’t
care whether he got there.
On July 31, Dr. Pugh dis
cussed anamnesis — “against
amnesia, living memory, the
need to be in touch.” Last Sun
day, he spoke about tohubohu,
or chaos and confusion.
Next will follow pastiche, an
artistic work imitating the style
of a previous work. On Aug. 21,
it will be accidie, the failure to
be glad. The series finale Aug.
28 will be on anomia, the in
ability to affix a noun to an ob
ject.
“They (the parishioners) now
talk to me about the dictionaries
they use,” he says. “It’s made
them more literary. And it’s
drawn more of them into church
on Sunday. That can’t hurt at
aU."

Dead lover’s letter
not fit to print
By Abigail Van Buren
1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N Y News Synd Inc
DEAR ABBY: I have a handwritten letter from a highly
respected prominent married man who was my lover for 17
years. In that letter he said he never loved anyone in his
life the way he loved me!
He died recently, and now I want the world to know the
truth.
Can I buy space in my local newspaper and have that
letter reproduced? Nothing would make me happier.
BACKSTREET SWEETHEART
DEAR SWEETHEART: Each editor uses his own
discretion as to what shall be published in his newspaper.
But I hope you realize that what may make YOU “happy”
may cause embarrassment and heartache for the family of
your deceased lover. Think about it. Then please forget it.
DEAR READERS: The editor of Teen Magazine sent
me an “ad” that ran in a high school newspaper. With so
many teenagers seeking summer employment, it might be
helpful:
Looking for a Job? Use this checklist on job interviews:
1. Ask for at least $374 a month, plus free room and
board.
2. Insist on 30-days’ vacation for the first year.
3. Demand S3OO for new clothes, plus upkeep allowance.
4. Be sure full, free recreational facilities are available —
golf, tennis, theatres, pool, horseback riding, etc.
5. Scream if you don’t have a free medical and dental
plan with unlimited sick leave. Tell your boss-to-be you
expect a $l5O per month raise if you get married.
6. Don’t be hassled because you are without experience.
Pound the table and let it be known that you expect to
learn a skill at his expense with full pay.
7. Insist on the option of quitting after three years to go
to college and that you expect him to contribute two-thirds
to an educational fund of more than $8000!!
The punch line: “If an employer agrees to all of these
terms, you’re in the U.S. Army!!”
DEAR ABBY: My problem is really more of a question.
Which way should a corsage be worn?
My mother says you wear flowers just like they
grow—with the stems at the bottom, and the flowers on
top. If she’s right, almost every girl I’ve seen wearing a
corsage has had it on upside down.
Is my mother right?
D.B.
DEAR D. 8.: She’s right.
CONFIDENTIAL TO D.W.R.: The only way I know of to
double your money is to fold it over once and put it back in
your pocket.
Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal
reply, write to ABBY: Box, No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069.
Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please.
His future
based on love
DETROIT (AP) - A local
entrepeneur and a 12-year-old
racehorse in diapers have
formed a partnership designed
to revive romance.
“People do fall in love in De
troit, don’t they?” asked Law
rence Lockhart, a 29-year-old
horse dealer from suburban
Pontiac, who began hauling rid
ers through downtown streets.
Helping him is Ted, the dia
pered racehorse, who draws the
90-year-old carriage. The
Brougham coach sports 3-foot
high red wheels and brass kero
sene lanterns.
After a year of horsing around
with the city to get a license,
Lockhart already plans to get
three more carriages and a
stable. He has to keep Ted in a
van he drives in from Pontiac
each day.

Father of the
trolley car
WASHINGTON (AP) - Au
gust is the month for honoring
the man who drove the horse
car from the streets of America
and replaced it with the elec
tric street railway. Charles Jo
seph Van Depoele, the “father
of the trolley car," was a pro
lific inventor who filed for over
400 patents, 249 in his own
name and many jointly with
others.
On Aug. 11, 1885, Van De
poele was granted a patent for
an overhead conductor. Later
that year he installed his over
head traction system in South
Bend, Ind. It was the first prac
tical street railway in the
United States, according to In
tellectual Property Owners,
Inc. (IPO), a non-profit group
devoted to preserving the pat
ent system that encouraged and
protected inventors like Van
Depoele. In the first year, he
installed his system in eight
cities.
Van Depoele also invented
the carbon commutator brush
that revolutionized electric mo
tors and the under-running trol
ley motor for electric railroad
cars.

Bridges
getting
study
ATLANTA (AP) - Unsafe
rural bridges in Georgia are
undergoing scrutiny and Tom
Moreland, commissioner of the
state Department of Trans
portation has asked cities and
counties to name their four
most dilapidated bridges by
Aug. 16.
Many of the bridges have de
teriorated to the extent that
only one vehicle can cross at a
time.
Some school bus drivers
make children walk across such
bridges to be picked up on the
other side, one official said.
The state does not have the
funds to repair the bridges but
the Department of Trans
portation is hoping the federal
government will help when it
realizes the seriousness of the
problem, said state programm
ing engineer Drew A. Brown.
