Shugart's No. P-38 was forced from his first place spot and from competition with a hole in the oil pan of his Chevelle. A close brush with the concrete retaining wall proved Phillip's driving skills, as he rode down the front stretch. Once, forced to pit for water, Phillips was placed on the tail of the pack for the re-start. Hard-ch arging through the field of 30 c ars, Phi Ili ps drove to vi ctory.

A smog retarder apparatus? They’re just three of 297 new pollution-abatement inventions patented in the past year. And all 297 need elec tricity to do their job. That’s one good reason why we’re so concerned with keeping electric service reliable. And why we’re busy building new plants to meet future demands. Improving the state of the environment is going to require an enormous amount of electricity. Georgia Power is already active in numerous environmental protection efforts. But maybe our most important task is yet to come: providing de pendable energy for many of the new inventions that will help to clean our world.

Board Os Air South Meets Nov. 15 JohnM. Crichton, executive vice president of the Waycross Chamber of Commerce, an nounced today that the board of directors of Air South, Inc., will meet here on November 15 at the Chamber offices. It will be the commuter air line's first board meeting out side its Atlanta Headquarters. Mr. Crichtonsaid, "We look forward to this important meeting as an indication of the kind of attention our Ch amber is attracting to Way cross from major industrial and business concerns." Bartlett M. Shaw, president of Air South, said, "We were delighted to receive Mr. Cr ichton's invitation to hold our directors' meeting in Waycross because the city and surround- ing area counties are one of our most important markets." Mr. Shaw added, "We feel it is important to identify with provide our customers. We want to be known in the Way cross area as this city's own dolOO J * A V < _w> ATLANTA (PRN) - Passing up the chance to sell something, and beating the drums for protection of our environment instead, is something that must take some sort of courage on the part of the head of a large corporation. You can’t be sure what sort of reaction you may get from your board of directors. Nor can you be sure that the desired effect on the public will be achieved. When someone does something like this .. .display ing the kind of courage it’s going to take to get something done about protecting our: environment.. .they deserve a pat on the back. You know, they say you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar, so perhaps you gain more ground in gathering support of the public and of industry if you praise those who deserve it, instead of only condemning those who deserve to be condemned. Hoping that is the case, today’s column is dedicated to bestowing praise on this particular company. The company is engaged in the manufacture and sales of among the top lines in the world of fishing tackle and arms. As do all such companies, this firm operated an exhibit at the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association’s annual show in Chicago. This year, however, our friends did not put on exhibit all the latest equipment they have on the market. They did not display any equipment at all. What they did was to build a display that would encourage all to be concerned about our environment, and do something about protecting it. They called the exhibit the “Garcia Ecology Action Center.” 4-H FRIENDS Some of the best friends 4-H’ers have are members of Extension Homemaker Clubs and County Councils. These homemaker organizations in 98 counties reported contri butions last year of $11,492.61 to pay expenses of 4-H members to district, state and national 4-H events; to aid the 4-H expansion fund, and to help finance 4-H college schol arships. Many homemakers also serve as adult volunteer 4-H leaders. PINE BEETLE The southern pine beetle is one of the most damaging forest insects in the South. Records dating back to the late 1800 s show that outbreaks occur in well defined areas whose boundaries have changed little over the years. In Georgia, serious outbreaks have occurred throughout the Piedmont and into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Extension Service foresters say damage from the beetle is most severe in overcrowded pine stands. airline." Air South serves Waycross with 3 flights daily to and from Atlanta.

Crowley, of Daytona Beach, Fla.;and and H.P. Persons, of Macon. BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH Georgia Game and Fish Commission Here’s Your Chance To Protect The Environment Okay, Fve let the cat out of the bag. It was the Garcia Corporation, which produces Mitchell and Ambassadeur reels, rods, and other tackle. I might add that Garcia furnished Georgia GAME & FISH Magazine with a large, beautiful trophy a few years ago, to be presented on a rotating basis, to the angler who catches the biggest largemouth bass in Georgia each year. And they give three rods and reels to winners in three categories of the Game & Fish fishing contest each year. I mention this only to further point out the public spiritedness of this firm. Garcia apparently felt that the exhibit alone would not reach enough people, so the folks there have published a book crammed full of very fine tips and information so that you, a citizen, can do more to do your part in combatting pollution of our environment. You’d be doing yourself and me.. .and conservation agencies and the public all over our country.. .a big favor if you’d get this book and read it thoroughly, then put it to practice. I’d appreciate it further if you’d mention, when ordering the book, that you heard about it from your pal, Dean Wohlgemuth, in his Outdoors Column. To get the book, titled “There is Still Time,” write my good friend, Richard C. Wolff, Vice President, Garcia Corporation, 110 Charlotte Place, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. 07632. Please enclose 50 cents for postage and handling. You’ll be glad you did . . .and I’ll appreciate it, because it’ll prove to me that you really are interested in doing something to protect our natural resources!

SHERMAN TOMLINSON ON DRUGS An addict is a person who is psycholog ically and physically dependant upon the effectof a depressant drug such as a nar coticpainreliever, a sedative, or alcohol. The addict must have the drug in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms are rather severe and the add ict will do anything to obtain the drug or money to buy the drug. The legal use of the narcotics and sedatives are limited to medical need, however, there is an illegal source of supply of these drugs which is commonly refered to as the organized cr ime syndicate. The supply of these drugs depends upon movement in world-wide commerce and the syndicate depends upon repeat sales for its existance. Heroin is the drug of choice from the standpoint of the syndicate is the most addicting sub stance known to man. An addicts daily supply of heroin may cost from SSO to S3OO. Heroin is brought into this country in the pure state and then undergoes a "cutting" process with Quinine, milk sug ar or some other substance and the mix ture is then sold to the addict. An un suspecting addict may purchase a more or less "pure" fix of heroin which can result in an overdose and death. The addict is most dangerous when he is needing a "fix". When in need of a dose of drug he will even commit murder. The person who is abusing a stimulant type drug, on the other hand, is dangerous when under the influence of the drug be cause of the personality change. The per sonal and social cost of drug abuse (an guish of loved ones, cost of law enforce ment, loss of life, los^ by theft, etc.) can not be calculated. The "cure" rate of addiction is less than 5% at the present time. Even after the addict is physically off the drug a mental craving will always exist in the mind of the ex-addict. Once the addict is releas ed and returned to his old associations and enviornment, most times, after a short while he is back on the drug. Methadone is a synthetic narcotic and relatively in expensive. Many state operated metha done clinics are now being opened. The purpose of these clinics is to serve as a cheap source of supply of narcotic for the addict. This means that the government has finally realized the futility in trying to "cure" addicts of their addiction. An add ict for a few cents a day may receive his supply of narcotic necessary to relieve his addiction and as a result lead a more or less normal life. Next week; Other Solutions To The Problem! VA Hospitals Admit Vets On Drugs As Emergency Cases Atlanta — Drug abuse among returning American servicemen has prompted the Veterans Administration to take still further action in its efforts to alleviate the prob lem. Georgia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler said that the VA’s Department of Medicine and Surgery has noti fied all VA Hospital directors, Outpatient Clinics, and Re gional Offices having such clinics, that “all applicants eligible for hospitalization be cause of their dependency on drugs, are to be classified as ‘medical emergencies’ and should be admitted imme diately.” The VA directive further stipulated that the “nonavailability of a suitable bed” will not be considered as an acceptable reason for refusing admission. “It should be emphasized, however,” said Wheeler, “that priorities of other veterans needing medical care or hos pitalization will not be ham pered in any way whatsoever by this VA directive.” He added that all applicants who are eligible and who inquire about treatment for drug de pendence are being urged to accept hospitalization. Wheeler said that all VA hospitals are equipped for emergency admissions and for beginning treatment of a drug patient until the patient can be transferred to a clinic. Throughout the VA hospi tal system, there are 32 drug clinics now in operation and more than 50 other VA hos pitals have facilities for pro viding limited treatment of drug abuse cases.
