NEWS From your i
PHARMACIST /
by
A pharmacy offers many
items for skin care. Two of
these are medicated soap
and medicated make-up. The
soap is especially useful if
you have oily skin or acne.
There are a number of these
soaps on the market, but
basically they all contain
ingredients to fight bacteria,
cleanse the skin, and dry the
skin.
Medicated make-up offers
a double-barrelled solution to
the acne problem—it heals
while hiding the acne. This
make-up, used by both males
and females, contains anti
bacterial agents to fight
infection. It usually also
contains ingredients de
signed to dry up the oils on
the skin.
Medicated make-up and
soap are just two of the
thousands of health care
items which we keep in stock
for your convenience. Stop in
today and look over our vast
array of pharmaceutical
supplies.

Monroe Superior Court, but at
torneys for the three asked ear
lier this week for their clients to
be allowed to plead guilty.
Judge Hugh D. Sosebee, after
hearing the guilty pleas, imposed
sentences of four years and 11
months in prison and fines of
SSOO the same sentences he
imposed after the original trials.
However, he gave each of the
three credit for time already
served and probated the four
year terms.
“In doing this, the court has
reached a conclusion on the
motion that the time each one of
you has already spent in custody
is equal to the sum you entered
in pleas of guilty. I feel it is fair
education in Georgia and
pledged to continue his
support of legislation which
will benefit retired teachers.
Following a very im
portant business session, new
officers for 1976-78 were
installed by Annadawn Ed
wards. Mrs. Edwards pre
sented large red apples to
each newly elected officer as
she instructed each one in
their various duties and then
challenged the members to
lend their support and
cooperation to these officers.
The new leaders are: Mollie
Garland, president; Jane
Weaver, vice president; Sara
Caldwell, secretary; and
Zella Taylor, treasurer.
The outgoing president,
Thelma Prosser, was pre
sented a lovely gift from the
association for her efforts the
past two years in getting the

Guilty Pleas Entered
to each and every one of you
that you have already completed
your sentence,” said the judge,
“In so doing. I hope that not
any one of you will have any
more trouble at all.”
Miss Watson, whose attorneys
said they feared for her health if
she was required to spend fur
ther time in jail, was the first to
have her conviction overturned
by the state court in January.
The court ruled in her case that
Sosebee had allowed “preju
dicial” and “inflammatory”
statements to be made by die
prosecuting attorney, George
Lawrence of Eatonton.
Miss Watson was reported to
have been undergoing medical
treatment for a nervous disorder
organization started. The
"poet laureate” of the retired
teachers, Polly Garr, read
her own original poem to
Mrs. Prosser.
After expressing thanks
and appreciation to the
members, Mrs. Prosser
adjourned the meeting.
