He said he would make an exception of the executive committee because there “are a few times when some action has to be taken before the entire board can meet and that is the purpose of this committee,” he said. The executive committee has met only 3 times since 1974, he said. The public should be invited to an all decision making meetings as provided by law, he said. According to Feely, the Georgia Sunshine Law gives committees the right to go into executive session, which means they can meet privately for discussion purposes as long as the public is present when a vote is taken. The purpose of the committees, he said, is to divide up the work of the authority. The committee set-up of the Griffin hospital are not unusual, as every hospital uses this type of structure, he said. It is recommended by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, the accrediting body for hospitals, he said. The Griffin-Spalding Hospital received a 2-year accreditation from the commission this year, the highest you can get, Feely noted. Hospital Authority meetings are open and public. The purpose is to conduct business and the public is invited to discuss problems or make suggestions, Feely said. He said he will recommend tonight that the board advertize the meetings in the public notices section of the newspaper to better communicate to the public. “I would like more public input into the hospital’s operations. I think using the authority meeting as a public forum is appropriate and can be constructive, rather than destructive. "This is what we want to do,” Feely said. "In the last month in efforts to recruit new physicians to our community, we lost 2 physicians who may have come here. One had committed himself and changed his mind. I do not want this to happen again,” Feely said. Many Style* of Wedding Invitation* Hensley’s Card and Gift Shop 121 Weil Solomon St. Phone 225-S29S I Five room frame house with screened-in porch.

People William Sloane Coffin NEW YORK (AP) - William Sloane Coffin, the activist former chaplain of Yale University, has been unanimously elected senior minister of Riverside Church. The Rev. Mr. Coffin, 53, will be the fourth person to hold the post since John D. Rockefeller built the Congregational church in 1926. He was the only candidate nominated by the 30-member Board of Deacons and was elected on Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Coffin was chaplain of Yale for 17 years. He was active in the racial integration and anti-war movements of the 19605. He left Yale in 1976. Patrick J, Lucey TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Patrick J. Lucey, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, says his visit to imprisoned Americans anxious to win transfer to U.S. prisons by Christmas was a “very depressing experience.” In ending his three-day visit to Baja, Calif., during the weekend, Lucey said that the La Mesa penitentiary east of Tijuana suffers from overcrowding, not negligence or bad administration. “Not one American prisoner complained about the way the director is running the prison,” Lucey said. “I believe he is doing as good a job as anyone could possibly do under the conditions.” There are almost 2,000 prisoners jammed into a facilty built in 1956 to hold 300. A total of 73 American citizens, including 20 women, are held in the prison. Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr. SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. suggests that victims of last month’s brush fire rebuild their homes with solar energy units so nuclear power plants won’t be necessary “up and down the coast.” “I am making a major effort to minimize the rush to nuclear energy in this state," Brown said Sunday at a solar energy workshop for fire victims. “I would like to do without more nuclear plants if possible... “The powers that be are all hooked on nuclear addiction and haven’t slowed down long enough to look at the alternatives." The state Energy Commission held the workshop, at tended by 300 persons, to encourage families who lost their homes to design new ones with solar units. More than 250 homes were destroyed or damaged in the July 26-27 fire in nearby Sycamore Canyon. Gen. Alexander Haig, Jr. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gen.

B jB r >' I ■ ■ HB HBBj: w , MilfaSww Tag along Economists are still wondering what’s in store for next year NEW YORK (AP) - Sudden ly, the chief discussion in finan cial circles here is whether the glass is half full or half empty, and whether we should keep our eye on the doughnut or on the hole. That is to say, how are we to read the economic reports that point to a slower rate of ex pansion in the second half of the year and into 1978? Is the direction ominous? Or is it healthy? Most of the bank and other forecasters around New York seem agreed that there is no cause for alarm, but even they cannot ignore the soft areas of the economy that the more pes simistic are emphasizing. “The half-empty theorists — who of late seem to have an unusually persuasive impact on the stock market — stress the softness in consumer spend ing,” notes Morgan Guaranty, which tilts toward a degree of optimism. “U.S. economic growth is Crime Police looking for check Area merchants were asked to be alert for an unemployment check which was stolen Saturday. It was made payable to K. Harrellson of P. O. Box 85, Experiment. Mrs. Kathleen Harrellson of Banks road told police that the check was stolen from her car while parked on West Solomon street. It was for S9O. Griffin police asked mer chants to be on the lookout for the check and if any person presents it, to hold it and notify police, giving a description of the person.

Police said they expect to arrest 2 suspects who ran out of Badcock’s Furniture Co., 419 East Solomon street, with 2 lamps Saturday afternoon. One of the men grabbed the lamps and they ran out the back door. The lamps, valued at S6O, were recovered. “Arrests are forthcoming,” police said.

(AP) slowing down," says Chase Manhattan, but adds: “This isn’t cause for alarm: What’s developing is a shift from an exceptional rapid pace to one that’s still substantial and also more sustainable. And Citibank, speaking of the stock market, comments that “Wall Street might be accused of paying more attention to the hole than to the doughnut —of reacting to declines in profits by a few large corporations and ignoring the gains by the vast majority of firms.” But when an economy begins to shuffle a bit, with some in dicators up and others down or sideways, it seems that fore casters of gloom come out of hibernation. Some even use the Fit T-shirt? SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (AP) — In 1837 when Mary Lyon, the founder of Mount Holyoke College here was look ing for a name for her new in stitution, a friend from nearby Amherst suggested “Pan gynaskean Seminary.” This Greek term for “all the powers of woman — physical, intellectual and moral,” — nev er caught on, but it caught the attention of the press which laughingly reported the propos al. The unexpected publicity paid off. Suddenly, Lyon’s fledgling in stitution, which was based upon what was then considered the daring and revolutionary idea of higher education for women, became known in households all over New England. Then there was a burst of financial and moral support for the ven ture which a few months later was named for a nearby moun tain — Mount Holyoke. adufton'd 115 South Hill Street CLASSIC LEOTARDS & TIGHTS full fashion. 100 percent nylon.

Is the stock market a good forecaster of events to come? You can argue it either way, depending on whose statistics you use, but there is one thing you must respect: There is a reality among those who play for money. The next consideration is whether those who play for money are smarter than others or whether they are routed by neurotic fears, such as the ever present threat of rising interest rates. A lot of the big institutions haven’t demonstrated an ex pert’s ability in playing the money game over the past few years, a good deal because they seem to be responding more to fears than hopes.
