Flovilla Church Plans Yule Services Flovilla United Methodists plan their annual Christmas supper and program for 7:00 p.m. Wednesday evening, De cember 20. Each family will bring covered dishes and participate in the Christmas tree festivities. The Rev. John Huggins will present a special reading, “Christmas at the Hospital” for the program. The evening will close with Christ mas carols and informal fellowship. The Youth Sunday School class at Flovilla will also present a Christmas program for the church. It will be held during the Sunday School hour, Sunday morning, December 24. New Program Begun At Prison Here Many of Georgia’s toughest criminals will be transferred to the State Diagnostic and Classification Center at Jack son in early January, according to Warden and Superintendent Dr. Allen L. Ault. Dr. Ault said that the renovation process will be complete in January at the Center and that prisoners will be received as they cause trouble at other institutions. Mr. Ault pointed out that the Center will still have 844 cells but one cellhouse has been sealed off and is being renovated for housing the troublemakers. Dr. Ault explained that this is a very new program of rehabilitation and includes very intensive training at which the men will undergo group counselling. Dr. Ault said that the program may include new personnel brought in to work with the prisoners during this adjustment phase while others will come from personnel already on hand who will receive special training. “We hope to take these men and help them to do a complete about-face in their behavior that got them into trouble,” Warden Ault said. By putting all the prison system’s rotten apples in one barrel, Warden Ault and two University of Georgia pro fessors plan to employ a full behavior modification program with the prisoners. “The emphasis is on the positive; granting privileges for proper behavior, rather than punishing negative actions,” a spokesman said. The adjustment center will be divided into four wings, each housing approximately 25 in mates. Asa man progresses in his attitude and behavior, he will be moved into anew wing with more privileges. If the behavior modification process sounds too simple, Warden Ault reminds people of the dangers involved in dealing with men who have caused riots, planned escapes, and assaulted guards in other prisons. “In each wing, the correc tional officer will stay inside a booth where he can observe safely the inmates,” the warden added. In addition to each wing being sealed off from the others, the entire cellhouse will be sealed off from the rest of the prison. One hundred and twenty-five maximum security prisoners are currently assigned to the Jackson prison, but will not be included in the behavior modification program. The prison processes more than 4,000 transient or “diag nostic” prisoners each year, who only remain at the Jackson facility for approximately eight weeks. Added security measures include a metal detector which scans each person who enters the prison, a roving guard patrol who is never over five minutes away from any point on the prison grounds, a regional bloodhound program housed at the prison, and special trained riot-control officers. Entry and exit from the Jackson prison is through an underground tunnel with gates electronically controled from a watchtower. Warden Ault pointed out that there had been no escapes from the Diagnostic and Classifica tion Center since the new security measures were put into effect over a year ago. AT THE HOSPITAL Patients at Sylvan Grove Hospital the week of December 6-12 include: Thomas Cooper, Wayne Washington, Harvey James, Martha Franklin, Julia Hodges, Hazel King, David Thornton, Blanche Waits, Sims Johnson and Tommie Jones. FAMILY STYLE CHICKEN i DINNER SUNDAY Holiday Inn Locust Grove and McDonough Funeral Homes Make Statement On Ambulance Service Three local funeral homes in a letter dated August 15,1972 to the Butts County Commis sioners informed the county governing body why they will discontinue ambulance service in Butts County on December 31, 1972. The three funeral homes are Haisten Brothers, Inc., Trimier Funeral Home and Howard Funeral Home. A fourth funeral home, Sherrell, did not sign the letter and has presented a plan to the county commissioners which, if adopt ed, would permit continuation of ambulance service in the county. The letter to the commis sioners is reproduced as follows: Jackson, Georgia August 15, 1972 Hon. Alfred D. Fears, Chairman The Butts County Board of Commissioners Butts County Courthouse Jackson, Georgia 30233 Gentlemen: The 1972 General Assembly of Georgia passed legislation regulating Ambulances in Geor gia. The law becomes effective January 1, 1973 and requires compliance by January 1, 1974. Recently a meeting was held in Griffin and one of your members attended in order to become acquainted with the problem. Already in Georgia 80 percent of the funeral homes who have been operating Ambulances have given up this part of their business and others have indicated they will discontinue the service by Jan. 1, 1973. We have taken a long hard look at the Law and must advise you that we must join those who feel the law cannot be complied with from our facility on individual basis. Therefore, this is to inform you that on December 31, 1972 we must discontinue Ambulance service in Butts County. The added equipment called for and the additional men we would have to add to our staff (all schooled in becoming ambulance attendants) would place such a financial burden on us that we could not overcome the loss and it would soon place us in a position we could not continue our funeral service. This we feel you will understand as have Commissioners all over Georgia. We understand that some funds are available to the various counties for equipment and can be applied for through the Department of Human Resources at the State Capitol in Atlanta. Many of the counties have been able to work out an agreement with the local hospital to take over this service, using the personnel as hospital Corpsmen in addition to their ambulance duty and subsidizing them with county funds necessary. Please be assured that we dislike very much to take this action but feel we have no alternative. We pledge to you our cooperation in making arrange ments for Butts County to have the kind of service the people deserve. Yours very truly, Ben M. Haisten, V.P. HAISTEN BROTHERS INC. Harold Howard HOWARD FUNERAL HOME Abe Trimier TRIMIER FUNERAL HOME CARD OF THANKS I cannot begin to express my thanks and appreciation to those friends and relatives who remembered me in so many ways while a patient at Sylvan Grove Hospital and since returning home. The cards, gifts, flowers, calls and your prayers will ever be gratefully remembered as will all other acts of kindness. May God bless each of you. - Clyde Hodges.
