only and have no power to make
decisions.
“I think that these committees should
make their recommendations to the
entire board and action and votes be
taken here only, he said.
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.

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.

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.

presents it, to hold it and notify
police, giving a description of
the person.

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.”

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.

word “recession.” Some say
“Buy gold.”
Such attitudes are still in the
minority, it appears, but they
are having their impact, espe
cially on the stock market,
where the Dow Jones industrial
average is down to its lowest in
more than a year and a half.
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. The doughnut

But those disposed to worry
will, of course, ask, “What
about the next quarter and the
quarter after that?” And they
have plenty more to worry
about too, if they are so in
clined, such as the imbalance of
trade.
Whatever, we are now at one
