VALDOSTA—On police motorcycles in this south Georgia city, especially if it happens to
be Robin Mott, a comely 24-year-old blond traffic officer for the Valdosta Police Department.
Ms. Mott is believed to be the first woman to patrol on the Harley-Davidson police cycle in
South Georgia. She has been on active duty since August of this year. “I want to do
everything expected of me or I don’t want the job,” said Robin. (AP)
Capitol ideas
Senatorsnot short on ego
By DONALD M. ROTHBERG
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mir
ror, mirror on the wall, who’s
the fairest senator of all? Just
ask one; he’ll tell you.
The biography put out by the
office of Sen. James McClure,
R-Idaho, begins: “If someone
were to write down all of the
qualities needed in a senator
from Idaho, he might start by
reading a biographical sketch of
Jim McClure.”
Unless that someone happens
toprefer McClure’s Democratic
colleague, Sen. Frank Church',
whose biography begins by in
forming us that “for nearly a
generation, over 20 years,
Frank Church has been the
most celebrated Idahoan to rep
resent his state in the Senate
since William E. Borah, the
famed ‘Lion of Idaho.’”
Biographical hyperbole is not
limited to the lions of Idaho.
“Clifford Case often has been
described as ‘integrity at
work,”’ says the “background
kit,” issued by the Republican
senator from New Jersey. It
goes on:
"In an era when the public
has become distrustful and dis
enchanted with most political
leaders, Clifford Case has stood
out as an exception, an office
holder who has earned the trust
not only of his constituents but
of all who know him.”
Sen. Jennings Randolph’s bi-
ography includes a page and a
half listing of awards including
one from the Washington Post
Lions Club in 1956, the National
Utility Contractors Associ
ation’s Man of the Year in 1972,
and in 1963, the Youth Appre
ciation Award from the Bowling
Proprietors Association of
America, Inc.
Some try to show a bit of hu
mility. The single-page biogra
phy for Sen. Jesse Helms, R-
N.C., opens with this note from
Clint Fuller, his executive as
sistant:
“Sen. Helms protests that this
resume is too long. However,
since his has been a somewhat
varied career, I feel that dif
ferent aspects will be of interest
to different people who make
inquiry of us.”
From the Arthur Bums man
ual on how not to make friends
and influence senators, comes
the Federal Reserve Board
chairman’s call for senatorial
support for a campaign to hold
down salary hikes for federal
employes.
Appearing before the Senate
Banking Committee, whose
members along with all other
members of Congress received
a $12,900 pay boost this year,
Bums urged Sen. Adlai Steven
son, D-111., to “join me in bring
ing about a lowering of your
salary and mine.”
Stevenson noted that Con
gress had gone for eight years
without a pay raise “and no
body followed our lead.”
“What we had was inaction,”
said Bums “we did not have
moral leadership.”
The next time you’re at one of
those famous Washington
cocktail parties and you find
yourself standing next to Arthur
Bums — he’s the short, gray
haired fellow smoking the pipe
— you might turn to him and in
your most knowledgeable tone
say, “How’s the M 2 looking, Mr.
Chairman?”
No doubt, everyone around
you will stand in awe of your
fiscal expertise. The chairman
speaks often of Ml, M 2 and M 3,
and practically no one knows
what he’s talking about.
For those who care, Ml is the
amount of money in currency
and checking accounts; M 2 is
the total of Ml plus the money
held in savings and other time
deposits in commercial banks,
while M 3 equals M 2 plus depos
its in other thrift institutions
such as savings and loan asso
ciations and credit unions.
Incidental intelligence from
the office of Sen. Clifford Han
sen, R-Wyo.: the state of
Wyoming has the highest per
centage of citizens band radio
operators in the nation.
According to a Hansen press
release, 32,591 Wyoming resi
dents had CB licenses as of the
end of May. That represents 8.7
percent of Wyoming’s popu
-1 lation.
Dear Abby
Why shouldn’t girl
ask men for a date?
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y News Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: You told a 16-year-old girl who wanted to
invite a certain boy to a sorority dance to ask someone who
had already asked her out. Why? That’s the first step in
giving control of the relationship over to the man. He calls
her if he feels like it, while she’s sitting home waiting to be
called. . ,
If a girl thinks a man has an interest in her, what s
wrong with calling him?
I’m single, 29, and have been dating since I was 16. If I
meet a man who appeals to me and I think it’s mutual, I’ll
call him and invite him over. He might think I’m pushy,
and he may even reject me, but that’s the chance I take.
And it beats sitting home alone waiting to be called.
Also, I never give my phone number to a man who won’t
give me his. If he refuses, or gives me his office number, I
know he’s probably married or living with someone.
Times have changed, Abby. Women no longer must wait
to be chosen. They can do some choosing on their own. This
doesn’t mean chasing after someone who has no interest
in them. My motto is: “It never hurts to ask.”
BONNIE IN ALLENTOWN
DEAR BONNIE: Your attitude makes sense, and will
probably find more winners among women than men. Men
have been risking rejection for years. If a woman takes the
initiative and is rejected, it’s not the end of the world. Let s
declare 1978 the year of the open season on all
eligibles—regardless of sex.
DEAR ABBY: A niece of mine was married recently. I
wasn’t able to attend the wedding and didn t know what to
get her for a wedding gift, so I sent her a check for SIOO.
(It’s not easy for me to shop as I am somewhat
handicapped.)
I just received a thank-you note from the bride which
both annoyed and shocked me. She wrote, Your
generous gift has already been put to good use in buying
gifts for the girls in my wedding party.”
I was under the impression that a cash wedding gift
should be used to buy something for the newlyweds.
Am I wrong to feel perturbed? It was my intention to
give her a “gift,” not to help with the wedding expenses.
* B DISAPPOINTED
DEAR DIS: Your niece probably put the money where it
would do the most good. Overlook it. At least she was
honest.
CONFIDENTIAL TO F.J.R.: Instead of yearning for
some kind of immortality, remember the words of
Benjamin Franklin:
“If you would not be forgotten,
As soon as you are dead and rotten,
Either write things worth reading
Or do things worth the writing.”
