Got beetles? be glad then If you have ground beetles in your yard, you should count yourself very lucky, according to Dr. Wendell Morrill of the Georgia Experiment Station. “You are lucky because the beetles are feeding on the destructive fall army worm,’’ Dr. Morrill said. The early infestation of army worms provided food for ground beetles which has resulted in plentiful numbers that sometimes pose a nuisance by getting into homes. Dr. Morrill said the beetles have large mouthparts but pose no threats to humans. “They do not bite people, are not poisonous and cannot sting,” the Station scientist said. He, however, warned the beetles produce an unpleasant smelling fluid when handled.

Tanner, who has served as the Navy recruiting officer for Griffin for 18 months, has been recommended for the Navy Life Saving Medal for helping to save the life of a man injured in an accident near Griffin Aug. 31. The letter has been submitted to Navy officials by Machinist Mate Chief George 0. Smith of the Navy Recruiting Station in Jonesboro. Tanner works out of the Jonesboro Recruiting Station, but spends most of his time in Griffin and Thomaston. He came upon an accident Aug. 31 and stopped to see if anyone had been injured.

The Senate panel scheduled more testimony on the Lance case today, but members reportedly were split over whether to continue calling witnesses next week or wait for Lance to testify. As the hearings continued in Washington, Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland became the first member of the Carter administration to publicly suggest that the controversy has dam aged the operation of the Office of Management and Budget. In an interview with the Minneapolis Tribune, Bergland was quoted as saying “the questions raised have created such a furor that I think his effectiveness has been impaired to a point where it probably can’t be restored.” Bergland said the controversy has damaged President Carter because of his campaign promises about ethics in government. And he said ad ministration planning for next year also has suffered. Meanwhile, pollster Louis Harris reported that Carter’s job rating from the American people dropped to 44 per cent positive in August, a decline of 7 percentage points from July and 17 points from his April standing. Harris said the poll of 1,491 adults, conducted between Aug. 13 and Aug. 20, showed Carter receiving a 40-to-33 per cent negative rating for his handling of the Lance affair with 27 per cent un decided.
