chase of associated trans
mission facilities. Plants
Wansley and Scherer are coal
fired units, while Hatch and
Vogtle are nuclear-powered
generating units.
MEAG is composed of 46
Georgia cities and one county
which own and operate their
own electric distribution
systems. The organization,
created by the 1975 Georgia
General Assembly, became a
bulk power supplier to its
members on February 7, 1977.
A S3OO million issue of MEAG
Series A Bonds in January, 1977,
followed by a $l5O million issue
of Series B securities in June of
this year, provided the initial
capital for purchases of
ownership interests in the four
plants and transmission
facilities.
The Authority’s long range
financing plan calls for the sale
of additional Power Revenue
Bonds in the amount of ap
proximately $1 billion by 1985 in
order to complete construction
of the plants and acquisition of
additional transmission
facilities.

MASTER MATHEWS
Mr. and Mrs. Larry Mathews
of 707 Anne St., Heritage Apart
ments, Griffin, announce the
birth of a son on Nov. 10 at the
Griffin-Spalding County
Hospital.
LITTLE MISS MULLIS
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Mullis of
Valdosta announce the birth of a
daughter, Angela Michelle, on
Nov. 9 at the South Georgia
Medical Center. Mrs. Mullis is
the former Janice Cobb of
Griffin. Grandparents are Mr.
and Mrs. Ronald Cobb of Griffin
and Dr. and Mrs. James Mullis
of Valdosta.
for S4OO on North Hill Street between
the then Baltimore Case and Johnson
Drug Store. That business proved to be
successful and Goodrum managed the
store until Dec. 31, 1969.
It was in the old Johnson Army Store
which was just adjacent to the drug
store that Goodrum was tagged with his
nickname.
It so happened one of his friends who
had overindulged himself with the
spirits jokingly told the other men
present that Goodrum had come to
town wearing a shoe and a boot. The
men later began referring to Goodrum
as Shoe-Booty, a name which stuck.
“I don’t know where he came up with
that idea,” Goodrum laughed.
“Some people in Griffin don’t know
my real name.”
In April 1922, Goodrum married
Rebecca Owens Barnesville. The
couple had three children, one of which
was still-born.
A son, Kenneth Goodnun, was a first
lieutenant in the National Guard when
the jet in which he was training crashed
at Dobbins Air Force Base. He was
training for the war in Korea when the
jet crashed on the first Sunday in
September in 1950.
(Tom Martin, a Griffinite on the
same training mission, was in another
jet that crashed in the same accident.
DeKalb bill
calls for vote
on incorporation
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - A bill
calling for a vote on a plan to
incorporate all unincorporated
areas of DeKalb County will be
given to the suburban Atlanta
county’s legislative delegation.
The DeKalb County Commis
sion Wednesday authorized its
chairman, Walt Russell, to give
the “city of DeKalb bill to the
state delegation.
"We provide all the services a
city provides, yet we can’t act
like a city,” Russell said, ad
ding that incorporation would
allow the county “to get some
more money.”
DeKalb could levy taxes on
utilities and life insurance
firms, which it cannot do now,
and would be eligible for federal
funds given only to cities, if it
were incorporated, Russell
said.

Dr. Woodroof in India
Dr. Guy Woodroof of Griffin is pictured during his trip to India this fall on mission for the
World Bank. He is an internationally known food scientist and went there to advise on
developing India’s export of walnuts. Dr. Woodroof pointed out that the United States is a
leader in exporting walnuts and In a sense the move would be putting India in competition
with a U. S. export.
