Happiness is
HOMESTEAD, FLA.—22-month-old Carla Hunt from
Winston Salem, N.C. finds great delight in splashing in the
rain puddle. If happiness could be measured from the
amount of water she absorbed in her shoes, then little
Miss Carla has to be the happiest girl at Homestead, Fla.

Dear Abby
Three-time grad
can’t find a job
By Abigail Van Buren
(c 1977 by The Chicago Tribune N.Y NewsSynd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: I have a strong feeling that by the time
you (or a member of your staff) reads this, I may not be
around, but I hope you print this with a response that will
help others who share my dilemma.
I spent eight years earning three university degrees,
and now I can’t find a job. I was even willing to work out of
my field and do typing or waitress work, but was turned
down with, “You’d only leave us as soon as we got you
trained.”
Now I have nothing and I can’t afford to continue looking
for work. The cost of resumes, gasoline, parking and just
living while job hunting has taken all my money. After I
mail this letter, I won’t even have the price of another
postage stamp!
Someday, if a multi-degreed person should ask you for a
job, I hope you’ll remember me, and how happy I would
have been to be your typist.
WORTHLESS
DEAR WORTHLESS: Your signature is a revealing
clue to your problem. No one, whether he has three
degrees or none, whether he’s employed or jobless, is
“worthless."
If you're still around, and I sincerely hope you are, I beg
you to call the Suicide Prevention hotline. If there’s none in
your city, contact your local Mental Health Association.
You desperately need more help than I can give you in a
letter. God bless. And let me hear from you again. I care.
DEAR ABBY: Please don’t think I am money-minded
when I probably should have only “love” on my mind, but I
have a question to ask. I am engaged to be married soon,
and my fiance and I have never talked about money. I
know he has a good job, but I don’t know how much he
makes. I don’t even know if he carries any insurance other
than what he has on his car.
I work and intend to continue for a while after I’m
married, but 1 don’t know if I should plan on supporting
myself or not. Should we have a joint checking and savings
account? Would it be wrong of me to bring up these things
before we are married?
SOON-TO-BE-BRIDE
DEAR BRIDE: It would be wrong NOT to! Every couple
should set up a budget together before marriage and
decide how much to allow for rent, entertainment,
insurance, clothing, etc. And be sure you allow for possible
illinesses and accidents. (All kinds!)
DEAR ABBY: I consider myself an average, normal
male. I’m married and have three ahildren. I recall reading
some letters in your column recently questioning the
masculinity of men who wear one gold earring in their left
ear.
I have worn a gold earring in my left ear for nearly two
years—ever since my wife found it in the back seat of our
car.

Long distance love
She drives by each week to wave
By ERIC NEWHOUSE
Associated Press Writer
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.
(AP)—Each weekend she driv
es in vain to the Atlanta federal
prison to see the convict she
married by the cafeteria soda
pop machine.
“I just wave at Farrell from
the parking lot to let him know I
love him,” Marcella Kirk says.
A 30-year-old textile worker
with two children by a previous
marriage, she met her new
husband three years ago at a
church in Dalton, Ga. But Kirk,
48, was sent back to prison for a
parole violation shortly after
ward to serve the remainder of
his kidnapping sentence. With
good time, he could be released
in September 1980.
Last year, Kirk requested
permission to be married.
“We’d heard that when you got
married, the chaplain would
lock the door to his office and let
Optimist Club installs officers

District of Optimist Inter
national, was present at the
Optimist Club of Griffin

Scott, president; John Allison
and Sam Scales, vice

Chapman, secretary-treasurer.
Lt. Governor Everett Parrott

you have a little time alone
together,” Mrs. Kirk said in an
interview.
Prison administrators took no
action on the marriage request,
so the couple got a license and
decided to have the ceremony'
performed on their own.
“Me and Farrell stood up be
side the pop machine with the
preacher and said our vows,”
Mrs. Kirk says. “Then we sat
back down at the table because
we didn’t want to create a
scene.”
But prison officials deter
mined the wedding violated a
regulation against unauthorized
marriages and Mrs. Kirk lost
her visiting privileges.
A prison spokesman declined
to say why. Nor would he di
vulge the religious credentials
of the preacher, James Galla
han, who signed the certificate
as a minister of the Church of
God in Graysville, Tenn.
The Optimist Club of Griffin
was chartered in 1975.
Cub Scouts
tour hospital
Cub Scouts of Den 2, Pack 12,
Orrs School, recently toured the
Griffin-Spalding Hospital and
one of the Griffin fire stations.
Boys in the den are Paul
Moore, Ron Allen, Jay Pitts,
Mike Lee, Mike Brown, Jimmy
Campbell, Richard Thompson,
Tim Evans and Doug Holloway.
Dean leaders are Pita Pitts,
Jean Moore and Gayle Allen.
Gallahan is a former business
agent of Teamsters Local 515 in
Chattanooga, sentenced in 1974
to 13 years in prison for con
spiring to firebomb an auto
dealership and for violating
federal firearms law with an
arsenal of guns and hand gre
nades at his Graysville home.
Mrs. Kirk said Gallahan is li
censed by a universalist church
in California. Gallahan was not
available for comment.
“It’s a perfectly valid li
cense,” Judge Sam Dills of the
Catoosa County Probate Court
says. He notes it is signed by a
minister. He said the marriage
could be challenged in Superior
Court, but that it hasn’t.

“We’re legally married in the
eyes of the State of Georgia and
the United States of America,”
Mrs. Kirk says.
Mrs. Kirk now is engaged in a
running battle with prison of
ficials to see her husband. And,
buoyed by a dream, she awaits
a letter saying he’ll be free
soon.
“About two weeks ago, I
dreamed that Farrell told me
they had shortened his sen
tence,” Mrs. Kirk says. “Then I
dreamed I got a letter saying
he’d be home in 60 days.
“A few days later, I got a let
ter from Farrell,” she said. “He
wrote to tell me they’d com
muted two years from his
time.”
Happy
birthday!

Captured escapees
fighting extradition
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga.
The last of 4 escapees from
Fayette County Correctional
Institution has been ap
prehended in Florida, but is
fighting extradition back to
Georgia.
Billy Joe Clark, 30, of Troop
County, was recaptured along
with a juvenile, in a car stolen
from the youth’s mother in
LaGrange.
LaGrange police alerted
Gainesville law enforcement
officials, giving a description of
the vehicle in which Clark was
believed to be traveling.
Clark’s apprehension in
Florida came exactly 2 weeks
after be and 3 other prisoners
stole a county-owned pickup
truck, and fled the Work Camp
in the predawn hours of Sep
tember 8.
Warden Sam Champion
recaptured Henry Walter
Harris, 21, of Jonesboro, Randy
Robinson, 23, also of Clayton
County, and William Boman, 18,
of LaFayette, within 4 days of
the escape.
Last week Warden Champion
recovered the stolen 1977
Chevrolet- pickup truck after
tracking dark to LaGrange.

LaGrange law enforcement
officers could apprehend him.
Champion stated the office of
District Attorney Johnny
Caldwell will be processing
papers on Clark through the
office of Governor Busbee.
The extradition process
averages 30 to 60 days, none of
which will count toward com
pletion of Clark’s current
misdemeanor sentence, or the
felony sentence he faces upon
conviction of escape charges.
