for M-D drive
Brenda Compton, former
Griffinite, wrote a tribute to

who lives in Doraville now

bought copies of her tribute to
the late singer.
Lester Maddox was one of
them, she said.
A fan club in Atlanta will
submit the tribute to a national
Elvis Presley news letter for
publication.
Miss Compton is a student at
Clayton Junior College. Her
mother is Mrs. Jeanelle Howell,
an employe at Crompton-
Highland in Griffin.

The burned body of Tygart
was found May 22 in the ruins of

cials said.
A search party found the body
of Luke in woods two days later.
Authorities said Anglin was to
be held at an undisclosed south
Georgia jail pending

death of Richard Allen Hjelm,

County meet
In other action during the
meeting Jerry Bilbro, Griffin
architect, responded to an in
vitation by the commissioners
to give comments concerning
updating the Spalding County
Building Code.
Bilbro told the commissioners
they could expect better
compliance of the code if it is
kept simple.
He recommended the board
adopt the Standard Building
Code, the previous Southern
Building Code, and the Stan
dard Plumbing Code. The board
could make certain local
modifications to the standard
codes.
County Administrator Lewis
Leonard advised the com
missioners that the Dundee
Volunteer Fire Department
equipment would be available
by December 1978 according to
Dundee Chief Kenneth Roberts.
The county will have to be
concerned with providing fire
protection to county residents
when the Dundee Volunteers
cease operation at the end of
next year.
At present the Dundee force
has 3 firehouses which may
possibly be negotiated to the
county when the operations
cease.
Leonard told the com
missioners it would take a
minimum of 48 firemen to man
these stations.
The county is working on a
plan for county fire protection
which will be critiqued by the
Insurances Services Depart
ment in Atlanta.
Mrs. R. E. Phillips of the
Creekwood Estates Sub-division
sought help from the com
missioners concerning a
possible breach of protective
covenant by the owner of the
Creekwood sub-division.
The commissioners told Mrs.
Actor Gregory Peck
DEAUVILLE, France (AP) — Actor Gregory Peck says
he was as moved to receive the French order of Com
mander of Arts and Letters as was Groucho Marx, the late
comedian who called the medal his favorite.
Peck received the award Tuesday from French Culture
Minister Michel d’Orano. The American actor was
praised for his long film career that included 50 movies in
30 years.
Hunter elected
Junior director
Richard Hunter, assistant
cashier of Commercial Bank &
Trust Company, has been
elected to the board of directors
of the Junior Bankers Section of
the Georgia Bankers
Association.
Hunter was elected at the
convention of the Junior
Bankers held at Callaway
Gardens.
(Continued from page 1)
Phillips her request was more
of a civil nature and she and the
sub-division residents she
represented should consult an
attorney.
The residents in the com
munity are concerned because
the land owner has allowed the
construction of a modular home
in the $50,000-860,000 range
neighborhood.
During the morning session
the commissioners heard from
Claude Dukes of Parham road
who was checking on the status
of a petition by him and others
on the Old Parham road to have
it closed.
County attorney, Jim Owen,
told Dukes the board has made
a study of the deeds for those
opposing the closing of the road
and by law they should be
granted ingress and egress
from property bounded by the
old road.
Dukes said he did not want to
close the road to a second party
in the dispute, Mrs. Barbara
Perkins, but only wanted to
close the road to the general
public.
The general public would use
the new Parham road which
was swapped in an agreement
in 1971 with then commission
chairman, Jack Moss.
No record, however, was
made of the agreement and
presently the old Parham road
is still considered a county road.
Owens advised Dukes to
confer with his attorney
because to follow up the petition
to close the road would very
possibly lead to litigation.
Mrs. Barbara Perkins was
present at the afternoon
session. The commissioners
advised her of the legalities
involved in the closing of the
road.
They expressed hope the
matter would soon be cleared
up.
Council helps
(Continued from page 1)
would bar defendants’ confessions from
the trial.
“Most of our cases are more mun
dane than those,” Hight said, but he
added that the council gets a wide
variety of requests.
About 100 telephone calls a week
come to the council asking advice on
subjects ranging from search-and
seizure guidelines for drug busts to
precedents in obscenity cases to
problems in prosecution of public of
ficials.
“We can tell them pitfalls to look out
for so cases won’t be reversed just
because they were not aware of some
technical point,” Hight said.
The council has four full-time at
torneys plus part-time attorneys and
law students to aid Georgia’s 42 district
attorneys.
The council, which has existed for
about seven years in one form or
another, has been a state agency just
over two years and now has an annual
budget of about $220,000.
But Hight figures the council saves
the state more than that in heading off
reversals which can necessitate new
trials and in giving quick advice to keep
trials running emoothly.
Council publications go to most law
enforcement officers in Georgia as well
as to district attorneys, filling them in
on the latest legal developments in
prosecution of crimes from traffic
violations to major felonies.
And Hight is a familiar sight at the
Capitol while the legislature is in
session, checking bills for sponsoring
legislators, finding possible loopholes.
The council is a genuine service
organization, he said. “We just go
where we’re needed.”
