They are, however, excellent examples of our clever Colonial fore bears’ spinning ways with toys. The WHIRLIGIG was a toy which spun around when manipulated in a “surprising” way. The WHIMMY DIDDLE, looking little more than a notch stick with a propeller on top,could be set a-spinning by someone who rubbed it with a special “wand.” One good turn deserves another. Give it a whirl. Wool was scarce in Colonial times.So settlers made and re paired bedspreads and covers with cloth patchwork. With lots of time and a dash of flair modern women can make the same kind of decorative quilts that represent today’s tri umph of mind over mattress. Happily,the secrets to making these fascinating toys, crafts, and other objects have not been lost. They are explained in simple, step-by-step fashion in a new book called HOW TO MAKE WHIRLIGIGS AND WHIMMY DIDDLES AND OTHER AMERICAN FOLKCRAFT OBJECTS. If you can’t find the book at your local bookstore, write to the publisher, Thomas Y. Crowell Company, Dept CB, 666 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y.10019.

The direct selling field always has jobs open, in bad times and in good. What’s more, in this industry the mature person or the “senior” citizen, finds he is wanted and welcome. Money In Direct Sales Actually, the older person is preferred to a young one in our company”, says Charles Murphy, only 35 years old himself and president of a major manufacturing firm in the direct sales field produc ing cyclo massage portable nealth equipment and furni ture for home and office use. “We find that the more mature person doesn’t have so many outside distractions, that his social life doesn’t interfere with business, and he can concentrate better on his work. On the other hand, I must say that anyone, at any age, who is not lazy, who genuinely likes people, who is personable and believes in what he is selling, can make a success; even better, a major success, in direct Sales.” Your Own Boss One reason the “over 40” person chooses to work in fi ■ // a lot of things say QUIET but • 7 nothing says quiet quality better than a FORD from Waters Ford Co. /a a I kSI QUIET IS THE SOUND OF A WELL-MADE CAR Z_ FORD LTD BROUGHAM __ X \ / S 2-Door Hardtop K . .. luxurious example of Ford quiet quality LTD BROUGHAM ‘ JlB THUNDERBIRD GRAN TORINO BROUGHAM 2—Dr. Hardtop We listen better...

The salesman creates his own time schedule; works as little or as much as he pleases. In come varies with the time invested. The “go-getter” who produces most is re warded best. It is not unusual for an ambitious man or woman to build an annual income reaching well into the five figure bracket. A Good Future Another attraction luring workers to this industry is that with only 10 days of training, the salesman gener ally writes his first orders by the close of the first week in the field. In other words, he is earning income almost immediately. After one year, many rise to become dealers and distributors, running their own businesses.

Senator Dean Plans Legislation To Remove Governor’s Immunity ATLANTA (PRN) - State Senator Roscoe Ehan today said: “It is quite apparent that the Governor’s Press Secretary will not retract his charge against me because he knows he cannot be sued unless the State gives me permission to do so. He is well aware that his statements against me in his official capacity as Press Secretary in the Governor’s office gives him special privileges, not available to the average citizen, and it would be near impossible to get the State and the Governor to agree for his Press Secretary to be sued. “In January, I intend to introduce legislation which will place State officials and aides, like the Governor and his Press Secretary, on the same legal basis as the average citizen of Georgia. The average citizen can be sued without his permission, in the court, and it is time that high State officials and aides be subject to the same laws as the average Georgian. Page 3 ■ The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, November 30, 1972 “This law, when enacted, will protect all Georgia citizens, and put a stop to State officials and aides, like the Governor’s Press Secretary, from telling outright lies. “When the Governor’s Press Secretary told the lie that I tried to make a deal to keep my committee expenses out of the paper, he forgot one thing. Committee expenses involve public funds and are a public record open to everyone. It is not logical that I would try to make a deal about hiding a matter that was already a public record.” Dean Answers Governor’s Charges Senator Dean has also replied to Governor Jimmy Carter’s statement that “ ‘non-existent’ committees exist in the State Senate for Senators to collect expense money”, by referring the Governor to the official minutes and records of the Legislative Counsel’s Office at the State Capitol in Atlanta. Charged Dean, “If the Governor will take the time to check these official records, rather than make childish statements to the press, he will find that the committees do exist and that many Georgians have appeared and testified before them”. Continued Dean, “It is indeed unfortunate that the Governor has made unfounded charges before checking the facts. In so doing, he has insulted the integrity of the State Senate and the people of Georgia who have shown sufficient interest by appearing to testify before these committees”. Said Dean. “The people who appeared before these committees were living and breathing when they came to the Capitol for the public hearings, and they certainly did not appear ‘non-existent’ when they testified before the committee.
