Approaching with care
CHICAGO—Lone skindiver carefully approaches seven-foot sawfish at Chicago’s Shedd
Aquarium. Three scuba divers using only their hands and nets went fishing for a day and
caught 150 fish, including the above-mentioned fish, two 70-pound nurse sharks and a pair of
giant moray eels. The Shedd Aquarium is renovating its $1.2 million, 90,000-gallon coral reef
tank, and the fish had to be transferred to holding tanks while the renovation work is un
derway. (AP)
‘Chicken Wild’ takes championship
BROOKINGS, Ore. (AP) - A
speedy banty rooster named
“Chicken Wild” blitzed nearly
100 other feathered foes to win
the 3rd annual world chicken
race championship.
Cheered on by 2,000 specta
tors, the triumphant clucker
clocked 18.6 seconds on the 100-
foot course race, which is liber
ally sprinkled with chicken feed
to add to the suspense.
The chickens are thrown into
the air at the blast of the start
er’s pistol and chased to the
finish line by owners who some
times look like chickens with
their heads cut off.
Dennis Coit, race chairman,
said chicken racing is an art
that has evolved two definite
schools of thought.
One is that chickens run best
when loved, respected and
treated as equals.

Coit said a rooster trained in
the later category competed in
last year’s race and beat the
other birds silly.
Health
State officials after expansion control
ATLANTA (AP) — State offi
cials say they plan to seek an
amendment to the Georgia Con
stitution to give state agencies
the power to control expansion
of private health care facilities
in order to comply with a new
federal law.
The action is necessary to put
Georgia in full compliance with
the federal National Health
Planning and Resources Devel
opment Act, Douglas Skelton,
commissioner of the Georgia
Department of Human Re
sources, said-
The state has until October
1980 to comply with that act,
which was designed to cut the
soaring cost of health care.
Unnecessary expansion of
any hospital adds to the overall
cost of health care, Skelton said.
“If the use is not there, the
patient gets socked for the
cost,” he said. “If there are
empty beds, somebody has to
pay for them.”
Gov. George Busbee, state
Comp. Gen. Johnnie Caldwell
and Asst. Atty. Gen. Michael
Bowers met with Skelton Tues
day to discuss compliance with
the federal law.
After the meeting, Skelton
said state officials decided to

Thomaston
opens pond
to elderly
The City of Thomaston
opened its catfish pond on U.S.
19 North to the retired elderly
last week. The pond was lined
with elderly people with buckets
of crickets and worms, lawn
chairs and fishing poles all
afternoon. Some say there were
more anglers than fish to catch.
The pond was originally a
reservior for Thomaston Mills’
Peerless Division plant.
Martha Mills brought the pond
and turned it over to the city for
the elderly to use for recreation.
The pond was opened for the
ninth consecutive year last
Thursday and will be open each
Thursday at 3 p.m. to retired
people until cold weather makes
fishing uncomfortable.
a proposed amendment in its
next session and the amend
ment must reach the voters in
the general election of 1978 in
order to meet the 1980 deadline.
If the amendment is ap
proved, the General Assembly
then must enact legislation giv
ing state agencies powers to is
sue a “certificate of need” be
fore any health care system ex
pansion is approved, Skelton
said.
Those agencies include the
seven regional health system
planning agencies and the state
Health Planning and Develop
ment Agency, all of which must
comply with the federal act.
