Legislative Information ATLANTA (PRN) - The Georgia House of Representatives, during its special session, will again offer a toll-free “information line,” to answer questions about its membership and activities. Citizens anywhere in Georgia can call with questions about the House between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day that the House is in session. The free calling number for Citizens outside the Atlanta metropolitan area is 1-800-282-5800. For residents of the Atlanta dialing area, the The price of everything has gone up. Right? The price of almost everything has gone up. But there’s one important exception: your electric service. Since 1960, the national cost of living has risen more than 35 percent. In the same period, our average residential price per kilowatt-hour has dropped almost 16 percent. And electricity gives you full value for the price you pay. For example, just two cents’ worth of electricity will brew 50 cups of coffee. Or toast 100 slices of bread. Wash eight loads of laundry or shave a face every day for two years. That’s getting your two cents’ worth and more. Much more. Now wouldn’t you agree that electricity is the big gest bargain in your family budget? Right. Georgia Power Company A citizen wherever we serve® Yours very truly, Walter L. Berry President Concrete Products, Inc. Brunswick, Ga. number is 656-5082. The information line was first established during the 1971 General Assembly session. An average of 130 calls per day were received during the eight week session. Georgia citizens are encouraged to call the House if they have questions or comments on reapportion ment or any of the other issues during the special session. Wrong. PUBLIC HOUSING, ITS GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The low-rent public housing program was established by Congress in the Housing Act of 1937 to aid communities to provide decent housing for low-income families who can not afford standard private housing. Subsequent Federal housing acts have made spec ial provision for low-income elderly families and individ uals, the handicapped, and those displaced by urban re newal and other governmental action. Georgia now has en abling legislation under which local public housing programs can be initiated. This program provides loans and annual contributions wh ich permit public agencies to decent, safe, and sanitary housing of low-income fam- N.Y. PRISON RIOT IS PART OF PLOT MADDOX CHARGES Lt. Gov. Lester G. Maddox has dispatched letters to the U.S. Supreme Court and to President Richard M, Nixon in which he charged that the recent Attica prison riot in New York is part of a plot to "bring this country to its knees." Accusing governmental lead ership of coddling criminals and attributing to a climate in which violence flourishes, Maddox wrote: "Some of the blood spilled at Attica and some of the blood spilled. . .on the streets of America. ..is blood upon your hands."

FRUIT JUICE FREEZE Frozen homemade fruit juices are excellent for use out of season in fruit drinks, gelatin desserts, pudding sauces, and ice cream, ac cording to home economists of the Cooperative Extension ? "rvice. Frozen fruit juicescan ■ made into jelly at the v-iivenience of the home maker. Also, freshly made jelly has a better flavor. Juices should be cooled quickly after simmering, poured into rigid moisture-vapor-proof freezer containers, sealed, and quick frozen for best results. UNSULPHURED MOLASSES?

The "local" housing authority rents these dwelling units to the low-income families. Many towns within the south east are aof Georgia have one or more public housing pro jects. Such a project may be located where land can be acquired. Consequently, one projects may be split up into parts in different sections of town, In this manner, there is a minimum displacement of persons from their own neigh orhood area and consequently they can carry on their old friendships and other neighbor hood activities. Public housing is then one means in which living stand ards are raised so that all pier sons may have the standard home they are entitled to. The former governor said he believes there is a plot afoot to overtlirow the government and the Attica uprising may be thebeginning. "I'm afraid what happened at Attica may just be peanuts as compared to what we may see happen on the streets of this country I ,' Maddox said. Nine hostages and 32 con victs were killed as state troopers, National Guardsmen and sheriffs' deputies stormed the 40-year-old prison to put down the five-day uprising. Twenty-nine hostages were rescued. A tenth hostage died later of a beating by the con victs .

THE FOLKSTON, NAHUNTA and HOBOKEN, GEORGIA MEMBERS FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION The stimulant drugs are substances which when introduced into the body cause an increase in mental function. While the drug is in the system the person will ex perience a feeling of "well being" or "high". After the drug has "worn off" or been excreted from the body the cells that were stimulated by the drug respond by "slowing down" and a feeling of depress ion is experienced by the individual. If a stimulant drug is introduced into the sys tem and as soon as an effect is noticed more of the drug is given the following willbe the general trend of body response. First of all, the person will awaken, and then become talkative, and then restless. Consider the person who begins his day by drinking cup after cup of coffee which contains the stimulant drug, Caffeine, until he has consumed enough of the drug to "getgoing". These first responses are mild and cause no real harm to the in dividual or society, and are neurotic in nature. The personality is only partically disorginized. However, if the dose of the drug increased psychotic results will follow and the personality will become completely disorganized. These are de lusions or falsebeliefs, illusions or mis interpretaion of the senses, and if the dose is large enough hallucinations or ab normal illusions will follow. If a large overdose of stimulant drug is consumed irepairable damage may be done to the cells or the cerebum or "higher brain" and destruction of the intellect or somatic death will result. The individual who is somatically dead just lies there unaware of his surroundings and is not capable of feeding himself, going to the bathroom, or doing anything for himself. The mental institutions have plenty of these type of patients to care for and study and no "new" bodies are needed at this time. Just as pathetic is the individual who survives such an experience with a part of his intellect destroyed. This person may be no more than a zombie who can perform simple tasks but has lost the a bility to reason Next week; More on stimulants.
