People
Mamie Eisenhower
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Members of a Navy bowling
team are indebted to former first lady Mamie Eisenhower
for the shirts on their backs.
Mrs. Eisenhower, here today for the commissioning of
the nuclear aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower,
named for the late president, donated S6O for the team’s
shirts.
A member of the team, Petty Officer Ist Class A1
Trosper, said Monday he had written Mrs. Eisenhower
about the financial woes of the team. She responded
promptly with a letter and a check for the team,
“Mamie’s CATs.’’ CAT is a Navy acronym for Com
partment Acceptance Team.
Trosper said he later received other letters from the
former first lady.
“She tells me what’s going on with her,” Trosper said.
“It’s small talk. She asks about the team, tells us she
wants to meet us when she comes down and all.”
James Groppi
MILWAUKEE (AP) - James Groppi, the ex
communicated Roman Catholic priest who became a civil
rights leader a decade ago, says the church should stop
running bingo games to raise money.
“It is a sad state of the church when we have to gamble
to get money to pay the church’s bills,” said Groppi, now a
bus driver.
“Here were these poor people, thinking they would get
rich from bingo, coming to this wealthy parish and going
empty-handed back home to their poverty,” he said.
Groppi often quarreled with church policy when he was
a leader of civil rights activities in the 19605. He was ex
communicated last year when he married.
“After the trouble I have been in during all these years,
I get excommunicated for marrying someone as lovely as
Peg,” he said.
Howard Cosell
NEW YORK (AP) — A Philadelphia sports writer says
he was struck several times by sportscaster Howard
Cosell on an airplane. But Cosell called the claim a joke,
and said he gave the writer “a friendly chuck under the
chin."
Stan Hochman of the Philadelphia Daily News said
Monday the incident occurred just before a late night
flight from Los Angeles to New York after the fifth game
of the World Series Sunday.
Hochman said he was buckled into his seat when Cosell
came down the aisle and, after a verbal exchange, “He
reached over with his left hand and whacked me hard on
the right ear at least four times, maybe five."
Cosell was unavailable for comment Monday night but
an ABC spokesman quoted him as saying “It was utterly
insane, a joke.”
Hochman said that later in the flight, Cosell said: “Stan,
I want to apologize. I was only playing around.”
Mrs.Manolis
candidate
in city
Mrs. Charlotte Manolis issued
this statement in connection
with her candidacy for a city
commission seat:
In announcing my candidacy
for the first district, I would like
the people of this community to
know that I am seeking this
opportunity to serve the people
of Griffin. Women work and pay
taxes in Griffin, and deserve an
opportunity to speak, and to be
actively involved in local
government. I will not make a
statement on any issue upon
which I have not been fully
informed.
The only promise I will make
is that anything I may say or do
will be in the best interest of our
community and its citizens. I
would appreciate your support
and your vote.
I began my career as an X-
Ray technician at Griffin-
Spalding Hospital in 1951, and

Bearden
seeking
county post
Tom Bearden issued this
statement in connection with his
candidacy for a Spalding
County Commission post:
What does the future hold?
Though I can’t predict the
future, it will most likely hold
most of what you and I are
willing to put into it.
If you will give me the op
portunity to serve you as County
Commissioner, I can pledge to
you 100 percent attention to the
tough problems that face us in ■
the days ahead.
Have you considered the
problem of not having fire
protection for all the residents
of this county? Even those
citizens covered by the good
work of the Dundee Volunteer
Fire Dept, face the loss of
protection in 1978. How shall we
“pay” for this problem? By
increased insurance costs, cost
of irreplaceable personal
property, or by cost of county
operated fire services?
Why should there be a con
stant squabble over duplicate
cost of services between city
and county? It only makes
sense and “cents” to have
consolidated services of the city
and county with maintenance of
representation so that every
citizen has a voice in his local
government.
The children of the rural
areas of Spalding County need
recreational facilities in their
respective neighborhoods. Why
the squabble over who foots the
bill. We all have an interest in
the well being and needs of our
children, the future leaders and
citizens of our community-city
and county. Again, it’s time,
past time, for the county and
city governments to rise above
the pettiness of the last few
years. Grown men should be
able to cooperate for the good of
all' the citizei.3 and their
children without the constant
bickering. Our representatives
bicker and fiddle while Griffin
and Spalding’s children bum. If
Spalding is to realize its

better schools, better roads and

Obviously these services don’t

We need a broader tax base to
meet the costs of these

would accomplish the broader
base, but it must be county-wide

Realtors endorse
school bond issue
Griffin Board of Realtors has endorsed unanimously the
proposed Griffin-Spalding School bond issue.
Between 30 and 40 members of the board took the action
Monday at their regular monthly meeting at Bonanza
Restaurant. It followed presentation of “Education 77’s”
slide program backing the bonds which will be voted on in
November.
President Joan Montgomery of the realtors said she and
others in the organization would like to urge voters to cast
their ballots for the plan.
Chamber directors
back bond issues
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce today endorsed
all three proposals on the school bond issue today. They
toured Griffin High to see the crowded conditions for
themselves.
The Chamber’s Education Committee previously had
endorsed the bond issues and recommended the board
back them.
City Commissioners
divided 3-2 on stand
The board of city com
missioners voted 3 to 2 this
morning not to take a stand on
the upcoming school bond issue.
Commissioner Dick Mullins
asked the board to adopt a
position favoring the bond issue.
“The city needs it and we
can’t argue that our high school
is woefully overcrowded and
outdated. I think this board
should exercise a place of
leadership in the community,”
Mullins said.
Mayor Raymond Head
agreed.
Commissioner Louis Gold
stein objected.
“I don’t think it’s up to this
board to endorse or reject it. Let
the public decide. I’m not
saying I’m opposed to the school
bond issue. But I am opposed to
taking a position in an election
year,” Goldstein said.
He moved that the board take
no stand either way.
The motion was seconded by
Commissioner R. L. (Skeeter)
Norsworthy, who remarked, “If
enough people vote for it, it will
pass. If not, it will lose. I’ve
asked to borrow Raymond’s
fence on this one.”

“I don’t think we should try to

They are intelligent enough to

None of the 3 commissioners
said they were against or for the
bond issue.
Mullins said he intends to
bring the matter up again at
next week’s meeting.
“I think we are shortchanging
