World ‘ serious' time
Oldtime movie actor Joe E.
Brown played the part of a base
ball player in a senes of black
and white movies made around
the early 40s. He called the
World Senes the "World Seri
ous." Well, that's where we are.
Up to this point it has been high
anxiety . Now it's serious
The World Serious.
Because of this. Braves fans
have been in a frenzy of support
.After the senous play is over it
appears that Braves fans will be
facing another serious consider
ation brought on by N ati ve Amer
icans decrying their chop-chop
and tomahawk antics.
Aaron Two Elk. Southeastern
Regional Coordinator for the In
ternational Indian Treaty Coun
cil of the AI M. has branded the
Braves fan actions as “atrocious
racial stereotyping."
"The chop-chop implies that
Native .American people are ag
gressive and war like." insisted
Two Elk. According to a story this
week by Gwinnett Daily News re
porter David Nordan. Two Elk
was demonstrating, accompa

the remarks “It’s creating anoth

The AI M. official, who said he
has been working in Atlanta for
five years to enhance public
awareness of Native American
culture and concerns, said that
whatever the motives of Braves
fans may be. he has hopes he can
utilize and maintain their inter
est in Native American symbols
after the end of the World Senes
What if this issue raised by
Two Elk could mean that sports
teams across the country would
have to change their names or
symbols' 5 The issue could be
come heated.
Team names are chosen as a
compliment: chosen as a tie to a
particular area.
In the case of the Braves, they
have been the Braves for a long,
long time. They were the Boston
Braves. They were the Milwau
kee Braves. They are the Atlanta
Braves.
What Two Elk is asking is that
respect be given the Native
.American symbols and chants. In
Georgia were as proud of our At
lanta Braves as we are of our In
dian heritage. And we like to
show our support
The question is would we be
willing to give up the tomahawk

Moose Nose: the first recipe arrival
THE MAIL has brought a rush of recipes
for the Wednesday. Nov. 6 holiday cookbook
that will be included in the regular edition
of the Forsyth County’ News.
The one for Moose Nose, however, has
caused more than one strong Southern con
stitution to turn squeemish.
Mrs. Richard Lawson Leake of Dawson
ville, received the recipe as part of a chain
letter.
"Not being a hunter myself, nor am I mar
ried to one. I w’as not sure w’hether or not the
recipe was a joke until my husband ran
across a 1962 copy of Outdoor Life Complete
Book of Hunting by Clyde Ormond, printed
by Harper & Brothers. New York. On Page
185 of this old books we read:
"Two prized delicacies of northern Indi
ans are Boiled Moose Tongue and Boiled
Moose Nose.”
"Therefore. I submit this recipe to you for
your consideratioa I am happy to share it
w ith you from my Canadian niece." The note
is signed. Helen.

What if we had an earthquake?
Have you ever wondered about what
would happen if an earthquake should
occur?
Blasting with dynamite in rock quarries is
basically just like experiencing a small
earthquake. An earthquake sends shock
waves through the ground causing tremors
or vibrations on the earth's surface, due tc
the faulting of rocks The rock quarry will be
using explosives (TNT. dynamite) every day
... several times a day. How long will this go
on? This will go on for years and years un
less YOU get involved. Just imagine what
damages are caused from earthquakes.
The rock quarry on Old Atlanta Road is
using dynamite and residents have felt
tremors up to four miles away. What will
happen to your home, the foundation, or
even the basement The new proposed rock
quarry is near the bridge on Hwy. 20 that
goes to Buford. Could this damage the struc
ture bridge and collapse? What about Bu
ford Dam and any long term effects?
To make a long story short ... the rock
quarry has no value or profit for the resi
dents in that area. It will decrease the value
of your home and property. It will add noise
and air pollution and rape the ground from
its natural resources. The underground wa
ter table could be effected. What about the
wildlife and fish?
They were here before us and have
homes, too. There are two creeks in the area
that are about a half mile from the Chatta
hoochee which leads into Gwinnett County.
IF a pollutant was to spill into our water
ways, who would pay? Are the residents re
sponsible for any damages that may occur in

100 percent
behind the judge
I am 100 percent behind Judge Mills' cre
ative sentences for habitual offenders. I dis
agree with people that say. "That it is wrong
to humiliate the habitual violator.”
When you commit crimes over and over
again, you don't have any shame. It is not a
sickness either, like some people claim.
When a person drives drunk, writes a bad
check or repeatedly commits crimes society
should be protected. And what a better way
than making the repeated offender wear a
“neon” bracelet
It's time we install common sense and mo
rality' into the judicial system and protect
the rights of the victims.
