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.” f MONEY PONT GROW ON TREES BUT IT SURE BUYS MORE IN GRIFFIN "Give Griffin The A Try Griffin And You’ll Buy" Merchants Griffin to emcee GPA spoof Sam M.
