Diet Criticized
One fad diet to hit the
market recently has been
criticized by the American
Medical Association. Called
“The Last Chance Diet” by
the book’s author, Robert
Linn, D 0., this weight loss
plan is based on limiting food
intake to predigested pro
tein, vitamins and minerals.
The AMA, however, warns
that such a diet must be
closely monitored in a hos
pital setting, and should not
be attempted without a
physician’s supervision.
Kiwanis Hears
Tax Report
From Officials
Kiwanians last Tuesday
night heard an interesting
program on the complexities
of the County’s tax program
and the manner in which
revenue from the local sales
tax is used to reduce city and
county property taxes.
Mac Collins, chairman of
the Butts County Commis
sion, and Tax Commissioner
•Ricky Beauchamp gave
thorough explanation of the
present tax structure. They
were presented by Kiwanian
president Doug Durrett.
Beauchamp announced
that the 1977 Butts County tax
digest has been approved by
the State Revenue Depart
ment and that tax bills for the
current year are being
prepared now and should be
in the mail by September
15th. Taxpayers will have
until December 20th to settle
their accounts, the Tax
Commissioner said.
Chairman Collins ex
plained the methods by
which revenue from the local
sales tax is divided among
the County’s three incorpor
ated cities and the County
government.
It is up to the municipali
ties to give tax relief equal to
the amount of revenue
received from the sales tax,
Collins said, and the County
is giving tax relief in the
amount of a 3.86 mill
reduction on all properties
not located within the limits
of an incorporated area.
This leaves the County with
a dual tax levy for 1977 which
can be confusing, Collins
admitted, with residents of
incorporated areas paying a
County tax of 27.18 mills on
their property, and residents
of non-incorporated areas
paying 23.32 mills on their
holdings.
Butts County received
approximately $177,000 from
the local one-cent sales tax in
its first year of operation
and the County tax millage
was reduced 3.86 mills for
County residents. Had the
3.86 mills been levied and
collected, it would have
equalled the $177,000 from
the sales tax source, Collins
said.
In response to a question,
Beauchamp said that in
March of this year a total of
$200,000 was owed the County
in delinquent taxes. As of
August 30th, this figure has
been reduced to $70,000 and
105 fi fas have been issued in
recent days. Unless some of
the delinquents settle up
shortly, their property will be
sold at public auction,
Beauchamp said.
Mike Pierce, of Radio
Station WJGA, and Shawn
Bunch, of the Indian Springs
Academy, were welcomed as
guests.

Apprenticeship
May Lead Way
To Better Job
It seems like a good job is
not so easy to find these days.
But an apprenticeship or
technical training can in
crease your chances. Compe
tition for apprenticeships is
keen. They usually involve
from two to five years of
on-the-job training as well as
some formal classroom ex
perience. Technical training
can be on the job or in a
technical school or college. It
can run from one year on up
to continuing education for
some jobs.
If you have been thinking
about becoming a chef, a
cosmetologist, a medical
assistant or any other
occupational field that re
quires apprenticeship or
technical training, send for
one of the new booklets made
available by the U. S.
Department of Labor. Jobs
for Which Apprenticeships
Are Available (661 E) de
scribes the kinds and lengths
of apprenticeships offered
for over 50 occupations. Jobs
Requiring Junior College or
Technical Training (660 E)
gives qualifications and
training requirements for
more than 35 occupations.
Both booklets also give
employment trends for each
job through 1985. For your
free copy of either or both
booklets, send a postcard to
the Consumer Information
Center, Pueblo, Colorado
81009. Please note the item
number (s).
Although they vary widely
from state to state, here are
some basic requirements for
apprenticeship positions.:
-Plumbers and Pipefitters.
Usually you need to be at
least 16 years old to apply for
a plumbing apprenticeship.
It takes five years to
complete with on-the-job
training and at least 144
hours of related classroom
insruction each year. Pro
spects for employment look
good.
-Cosmetologists. To apply
for a cosmetology license you
need to be at least 16 years
old; you must complete the
10th grade; and you usually
need to finish a State-ap
proved cosmetology course.
However, some states will
accept an apprenticeship in
MEET THE RED DEVILS
DAVID WYATT
5’ 11”-205 lbs.
Junior Tackle
David was the starting
center on last year’s
team. This year he has
been moved to tackle
because of his excellent
blocking ability and size.
David will prove to be a
great asset to the Red
Devils this season with
his strength at offensive
tackle. In the Jones
County game he graded
out higher than any other
offensive lineman. David
can also play defensive
tackle when needed.

lieu of a cosmetology course.
Employment prospects are
about average.
-Medical Assistants. Train
ing may be obtained in
vocational high schools or
institutes and in junior
colleges. Most medical as
sistants also receive training
in a physician’s office.
Employment prospects are
excellent, particularly if the
medical assistants have
graduated from accredited
junior college programs.
-Carpenters. Apprentice
ship applicants must be at
least 17 years old, and it is
helpful to have a high school
or vocational diploma. The
program is 4 years of
on-the-job training plus a
minimum of 144 hours of
classroom instruction each
year. Employment prospects
are average.
-Roofers. You must be at
least 18 years old, and a high
school education or its
equivalent is important. The
program lasts three years,
with a minimum of 1,400
hours of on-the-job training,
in addition to 144 hours of
classroom instruction in
subjects like blueprint read
ing, mathematics, and safe
ty. Apprentice roofers will
have very good job pro
spects.

Pears are plentiful now, so
this week’s recipe is Pear

crunchy topping, and is
especially good served with
vanilla ice cream. The spice
mace is in the crumble
topping. It is very similar in
flavor to nutmeg.
