FROM I THE | PILL BOX Father David C. Streett AUGUSTA AREA PLANNED PARENTHOOD ASSOCIATION] ATLANTA ATTORNEY TO ARGUE ‘MARY DOE’ ABORTION Atlanta attorney Margie Pitts Hames will argue for the abolishment of Georgia’s abortion law December 13 before the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington. In the case of Mary Doe versus Arthur K. Bolton, as state attorney general, Mrs. Hames will seek to have the Georgia abortion law declared unconstitutional, thereby giving the state an abortion policy as unrestrictive as New York’s. Georgia’s existing abortion law requires a woman seeking an abortion to be a legal resident of Georgia, get written permission of three private physicians and have the abortion approved by a three-man committee on the medical staff of a licensed, accredited hospital. Mary Doe is the fictituous name of a 22-year-old Atlanta woman who was 11 weeks pregnant when the complaint was originally filed in the spring of last year. Mrs. Doe and her husband were unemployed, their marriage unstable and during the pendancy of the suit her husband abandoned her. Mrs. Doe sought to terminate her pregnancy on grounds that she was emotionally and economically unable to care for and support another child. She is the mother of three children. Her third child was placed with adoptive parents at birth and the other two children were removed from her custody by state authorities because of her inability to care for them. Mrs. Doe applied for an abortion at Grady Memorial Hospital, but after a period of 25 days the abortion was denied. A subsequent application for an abortion through private physicians at a private hospital was approved, but Mrs. Doe did not have funds to pay her hospital bill in advance so she was unable to obtain an abortion at a private hospital. Also, she was financially unable to travel to some other state with less restrictive abortion limitations. More than one year ago, Mrs. Hames was successful in getting the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to declare as unconstitutional those parts of the Georgia law which designated three reasons - health of the mother, rape or fetal malformation - as the only criteria for an abortion. The court also threw out the right of a relative of the unborn child to sue for “the rights of the fetus” to prevent an abortion. The court ruled that “reasons for abortion may not be proscribed, but the quality of the decision as well as the manner of its execution are properly within the realm of the state control.” State control over the “decision” of whether or not an abortion can be performed is what Mrs. Hames is arguing against. In a brief of the upcoming appeal, she called the present law “vague and ambiguous.” The case is being financed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia. * * ■’ Ott&OOftS • T • • -■»• — BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH Georgia Game and Fish Commission Forests And The Hunter ATLANTA (PRN) - If you’re a hunter, you know the impact that forests and forestry management has on wildlife. Loud cries from outdoorsmen when they don’t like what they see and hear about forestry management prove they have a very deep concern about otir woodlands. The deer and squirrel hunters know how important forests are to them. Without a forest, where would you hunt? Forests and forest management is more important to many a farm game hunter than might immediately meet the eye. Farm game includes such things as quail, rabbits and doves... the kind of game that will most likely be hanging around cropland such as com, peanuts, soybeans and cotton. The reason forests are so important to the farm game hunter is because, when acreage is converted from crops to timber, his hunting area is diminished. In actuality you’ll find a good bit of quail, rabbits and doves in timber land. They won’t be as plentiful, and they’ll be much harder to hunt. You won’t find the game of this type very prominent deep in the woods, but in small openings and meadows, and along the edges of woodlands, you’ll likely find quite a bit of hunting, if rather difficult hunting. The average deer and squirrel hunter gets excited when he sees timber being harvested. He sees his hunting lands diminish ... or at least he thinks he does. What he’s actually seeing is a change in his hunting land. Growing timber is a continual process, the same as the farmer’s ijw crops except that instead of growing a new crop every year, the timber grower takes quite a few years to grow his crop. While he is harvesting, however, he is putting that land back into new timber. For example, during the past year, Georgia timber growers harvested sl7s’million worth of trees. Through the 12 Southeastern states, the figure for tree harvesting was more than $1 billion! These came from some 200 million acres of forest lands. At the same time, nearly a half billion trees were planted during the past year. The effect on the hunter? It’s more or less two fold. In some ways it isn’t as drastic as he imagines. Yet in other ways it may be more so. Effect One: Clearcut areas still provide good deer hunting around the edges, producing feeding areas for this species, close to cover. At the same time the clearcut areas provide good hunting for quail and rabbits, even doves, especially around the edges since in reality, these are “edge habitat species.” Effect Two: The number of hardwoods decreases and the number of pines increases. Hardwoods provide food for wildlife, pines don’t. However, timber growers are more interested in hardwoods. Several companies are leaving more and more hardwoods when they harvest pines. Some deal only in hardwoods. And pines are being planted, too. Os nearly half billion seedlings planted last year, 3.1 million trees were hardwoods, including such species as oak, gum, black cherry, walnut, cottonwood and yellow poplar. Let’s hope the hardwood gets more attention in the future.

Augustans named to work with members of their classes in the 1971-72 fund campaign were Henry J. Heffernan, Mrs. J.W. Weltch, W.T. Ashmore, Jr., Dr. T.L. Clary, Jr., Mrs. J.W. Boyles, Frank S. Dennis, Mrs. W.R. Rodgers, the Rev. J.M. Corry, J.R. Blanchard, John Trulock, Jr., Martin L. Frantz, and Mrs. Gertrude K. Arthur. Out of town agents include William Moore, Camak, Ga.; James L.

Levy, Birmingham, Ala. and Mrs. Mary K. Stelling, North Augusta. The main thrust of the first annual alumni fund at Augusta College will be for participation, Menger said. The total amount given will, of course, be important, but a large number of participatants-alumni of all ages, walks of life, and varying interests-will demonstrate an interest and a belief in what our college stands for. We can ask for nothing more important than this.” The campaign is of particular significance this year, he added, since AC has been authorized graduate programs in business and education beginning next year. “We must be ready to provide those things necessary for a quality program. The success of the Masters Programs will depend largely on their being well capitalized when they open. “The growing support of the business community, and of all thoughtful CSRA city promises a bright future for all areas of higher education there, and consequently for all of the CSRA in the years ahead,” Menger said. Serving with Menger as members of the Alumni Fund Advisory Committee are Dr. B.J. Bolgla, L.V. Cooper, Dr. J. William Holden, Jr., L.M. Holmes, J.C. Overstreet and 8.8.
