Parade without flags?
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) —1
Marchers in the Veterans Day
parade may trek down Savan
nah’s main street without
seeing any flags if the Chatham
County Veterans Council can’t
find someone to pay for hanging
the banners.
W. W. Vause, who heads the
council, said the 150 flags pre
viously had been strung from
overhead wires, but when
Broughton Street was refur
bished all overhead wires, in
cluding those for traffic signals,
were removed.
After the Savannah City
Council rejected a request by
the veterans council to drill
holes in the sidewalk to install
sleeves for flagpoles, members
of the group met with Mayor
John P. Rousakis.
Vause said he suggested that
the flags again be displayed
from overhead wires. He said

Rousakis saidall the veterans
had to do was get permission
from property owners in the
area and the city would handle
the rest of the work.
When the merchants and
property owners had given their
approval to installing wires and
flags, Vause said Rousakis
“reneged” on his promise.
Rousakis said he thought the
wires were still in place when he
promised the city would install
the flags. However, he said, j
when the veterans group
returned he learned the wires 1
had to be restrung.
Vause said the mayor sug- ,
gested the veterans obtain
quotes from private firms on
the cost of installing the flags
and wires.
Vause says he does not un
derstand why the city can’t
spend a little money to honor
veterans who have died in de
fense of their nation.
It would be “a small price to
pay to show honor and respect
to the nation’s veterans,” he
said.

Pie nicks John Dean
FREDONIA, N.Y. (AP) — John Dean HI, whose
testimony helped break the Watergate scandal, was
nicked by a banana cream pie while giving a lecture at
Fredonia State college, campus police said.
Moments after Dean began his speech Wednesday, a
young man in the audience donned a mask, laughed loudly
and yelled, “There is the con man, there is the con man.”
As the masked man ran from the lecture hall, the pie
thrower struck, police said.
“It just brushed me,” said Dean.
John Paul Yuskiw, 23, of Fredonia, was charged with
disorderly conduct and issued an appearance ticket, said
police.
Half a dozen students gathered outside before the
speech and displayed signs reading, “Crime Does Pay.”
Dean reportedly received a $2,500 fee for the lecture.
Dean was ex-President Richard M. Nixon’s White
House counsel. He served four months in prison for his
role in the cover-up of the Watergate burglary.
Totie Fields doing fine
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedienne Totie Fields, who
underwent a mastectomy three days ago, is doing
great,” says a spokeswoman for Los Angeles New
Hospital.
Her manager, Howard Hinderstein, says plans are al
ready being made for her to perform Jan. 5 at the Sahara
in Las Vegas.
Monday’s operation for removal of a tumor was the
third operation for Miss Fields, 46, in 1% years. Her left
leg was amputated in April 1976 because of a circulatory
problem. In May this year, she underwent eye surgery.
“Usually we say a patient is satisfactory or in good
condition,” spokeswoman Susan Weight said Wednesday.
“But with this lady I have to say she’s vibrant. She’s doing
great. She’s a fantastic person.”
Anita in for a change
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Anita Bryant, the singer
whose campaign against rights for homosexuals has
enmeshed her in controversy, may be on the way out as
the Florida orange juice industry’s leading repre
sentative.
Edward Taylor, executive director of the Florida
Department of Citrus, said Wednesday that “a change
will have to be made in the foreseeable future.”
Miss Bryant’s crusade against a Dade County, Fla.,
ordinance forbidding discrimination against homosexuals
in housing and employment changed her image to the
point that “when consumers see her they don’t think about
orange juice, they think about the gay rights issue,"
Taylor said.
Market research studies show that the singer is not
reaching the younger people, the industry’s future
customers, he said.
Queen gets red carpet
ROAD TOWN, TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands (AP)

The smiling monarch, accompanied by her husband,
Prince Philip, was greeted by Governor Walter Wallace,
chief minister Willard Wheatley and dignitaries of other
British Caribbean islands Wednesday.

the picture, he said.
Walker said the system would do the
best it could if the bonds are not ap
proved, but frankly, he wondered
where students would be put in a few
more years.
He said double sessions would be a
definite possibility.
Walker said if the issue fails this
time, then the cost of building similar
facilities in the future would be even
higher with inflation.
He said the facilities being proposed
now, wer/ a tittle bigger but about the
same asthose asked some 2 years ago.
Now they will cost a couple million
more than 2 years ago, he said.
Dr. Dale Carley of the Kiwanis Club
was program chairman and introduced
the speakers. He also is a member of
the school board.
