Fun With Faces
It’s easy. It’s free. It’s lots
of fun.
The next time you walk
down the street, take a gan
der at the people you pass
along the way and try to
figure out what they do for
a living.
Is that attractive middle
aged lady, who seems in such
a hurry, a lawyer late for
court or a bank teller late
from lunch? Is that absent
minded gray-haired gentle
man an English professor or
a brain surgeon?
The Great American Face
could belong to your drug
gist. Or to your uncle Al.
What’s The Great American
Face? Is he or she from Maine,
California or Texas? And
when you spot one, can you
guess what that person does
for a living?
Let’s face it, occupations
may remain a mystery, but
the guessing game is still fas
cinating. Face-watching just
may become the new national
pastime. Take your picture
anyone?

Fall Course In
Horticulture
A basic course in plant
growth and care will be
taught at Gordon Junior
College as part of the night
class program this fall
quarter.
Dr. Bill Burnett, the class
instructor, said Horticulture
101 should prove interesting
to anyone who enjoys
growing houseplants.
“The class is credited as
part of the horticulture
degree program, but many
housewives and people who
would like to enroll just for
fun are encouraged to
attend.”
The class will be taught
from 6:00 until 8:05 p.m. on
Monday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. Fall quarter re
gistration will be Sept. 20 and
classes begin Sept. 21.
Dr. Burnett said his class
THANKS
What other word can better express an office
holder’s appreciation for the confidence of the voters,
who have returned him to office without opposition?
During the next four years, I will constantly
strive to remain worthy of the trust you have placed in
me and give the taxpayers of Butts County the kind of
dedicated service you deserve.
If I may ever serve you in any way, please let
nue know.

will involve practical appli
cation rather than theory.
“We’ll actually be working
with plants in the green
house. Some of the areas
we’ll cover are growing
plants from seed, plant
propagation, pruning, con
trolling pests, and horticul
ture in the home, such as
lawn care, vegetable garden
ing, and decorating with
plants.”
Dr. Burnett said the
students would be taught to
identify common houseplants
and would be able to carry
home some of the plants they
had cared for at the end of
the quarter.
Gordon’s Ornamental
Horticulture program was
begun in 1973 as a two-year
career program combining
basic college courses with
practical experience and
skills. Graduates in the
program can find employ
ment in garden centers,
flower shops, golf courses,
indoor plant designing,
greenhouse management,

I have anew regard for
legal secretaries as of this
week. One of our local
attorney’s secretaries took
her vacation this week and I
was asked to fill in for her.
You’ve heard of a notary
public, I’m sure. Well, what
you are reading was written
by a notorious public - me.
The lawyer’s office will
never be the same: I have
■now established legal prece
dents which could never be
equal, not even by F. Lee
Bailey. Why, if he had me as
his Girl Friday, he’d pray for
Saturdays.
I feel as if everything I do
should be in all caps, I even
wrote my grocery list that
way: TOILET PAPER,
ONIONS. FATBACK, etc.
I thought I was doing
pretty well untill mv sum
mons didn’t sum, my
typewriter wouldn’t hum, my
deeds wouldn’t record and
neither would my dicta
phone.
Actually, I’m thinking of
going into the legal field. The

are appreciated more than
you will ever know. It is good
to have so many wonderful
friends. ~H. M. Moore.

way I see it, a good dose of
Latin and a competent
secretary make the lawyer
(that is, the competent
secretary makes or breaks
him.) My Lawyer didn’t ask
me to fill in anymore after
the first day. I don’t know
why. but I’m sure if you call
him at 775-2358. he’ll be glad
to let you know. I tried to call
him last night to collect my
pay. but his number’s
'unlisted now. Wonder why?
I hope you all realize that I
speak in jest, ha, ha. Jest.
Jest. Jest one more week of
me and the poor man would
have been disbarred. I met a
lot of interesting people,
several burglars, murderers,
and the like. But I am proud
to say that my lawyer wins
his cases, as a rule. One case
in particular, I kncrw he’ll be
anxious to win - the slander
and libel suit he’ll have
against me after he reads
this, which is exactly why I
haven’t mentioned his name.
You see? I did learn
something after all!
