Youth Is
Caught With
Marijuana
A Jackson High School
senior, Jody Marchman, 17,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Marchman, was arrested Fri
day night by two Jackson
policemen charged with
possession of marijuana.
Three other Jackson youths,
one boy and two girls, were
apprehended at the same time
but are under the age of 16 with
a Georgia law not permitting
the use of their names. The
arrests were made by Police
men Eddie Berry and Thomas
Stewart near the Jackson
gymnasium as a basketball
game was coming to a close.
Jackson Police Chief Watson
Vaughn said that the three
other young people caught at
the time of the arrest of
Marchman were probably not
involved and were primarily
innocent bystanders.
Chief Vaughn said that
Marchman’s case will pro
bably be presented to the
Superior Court at the February
term.
Mr. Vaughn also asked that
persons continue to use the TIP
line and request that callers
give complete information so
that the police can follow
through and obtain the neces
sary evidence to convict drug
pushers in the community. Mr.
Vaughn said that on many
occasions a person will give
information to a certain point
and then stop or hang up or
both. He reminded that partial
information is usually not
enough to make an arrest and
obtain a conviction.
In another drug related case,
Curtis Clark, 18, of 231 Glenn
Street, Jackson, was arrested
Sunday afternoon on Brownlee
Road by a member of the
Jackson Police Department
and was charged with posses
sion of marijuana.

Georgia Power
Praised For
Storm Work
The Georgia House of
Representatives has adopted a
resolution praising the Georgia
Power Company and its
employees for efforts in
restoring electric service in the
wake of the worst ice storm in
13 years.
The storm, which began
Sunday, January 7, disrupted
service to some 188,000 Georgia
Power customers in Metro
politan Atlanta and other North
Georgia areas.
At the height of the
restoration efforts, some 2,500
men were working in shifts
around the clock to repair the
damage. All available line and
tree crews were alerted in the
affected area, and help was
brought in from areas of South
Georgia. Additional crews
were obtained from Alabama
Power Cos., Gulf Power Cos.,
Florida Power Corp., Tampa
Electric Cos., Florida Power &
Light Cos., Duke Power Cos.,
South Carolina Electric & Gas
Cos. and the Knoxville Utilities
Board. Crews also came from
as far away as Kentucky.
The House resolution noted
that “employees of the Georgia
Power Company worked
around the clock to restore
electric service as rapidly as
possible, constantly enduring
jmany hardships, including the
ice, the potential danger from
fallen electrical wires, broken
limbs, traffic hazards and lack
of adequate rest.”
The resolution concluded,
“The members of this body do
hereby recognize and com
mend the Georgia Power
Company, its employees and
the employees of the many
other electric companies
throughout the South for their
diligent efforts in restoring
electric service in the face of
the many severe hardships
caused by the recent ice
storm.”
Power company officials
have estimated that the storm
cost the utility between $2
million and $3 million.

EGG SIZE
Did you know that tem
perature- has a lot to do with
the size eggs a hen lays?
Extension poultry scientists
point out that hot weather
usually causes egg size to drop
quickly. Sometimes it amounts
to an ounce or more. Not only
does hot weather reduce egg
size, it also causes the hen to
lay fewer eggs.

Home Loans
Are Still
Available
“Families who qualify can
still obtain loans from Farmers
Home Administration to fin
ance the purchase or construc
tion of homes,” reports J. N.
McDuffie, Georgia State Di
rector of the credit agency. Mr.
McDuffie pointed out that at
this time funds for these loans
are in ample supply. The
interest subsidy loans pre
viously made to lower income
borrowers were discontinued
January 9,1972. This will mean
that the applicants with very
low incomes will not be able to
make the required payments
on loans. • However, as Mr.
McDuffie states, the majority
of applicant families have
sufficient income to repay the
loans without interest subsidies
and that FHA expects to
continue to make large
