Clayton Jury
Urges Help
In Crisis
A “Crisis Intervention
Program” to help cope with
family and personal mental
crisis in Clayton County has
been proposed by the coun
ty’s grand jury.
The recommendation was
made last week in a special
presentment.
The program would in
corporate emergency psychi
atric and medical aid into
regular police handling of
such crisis as suicide, di
vorce and homicides. It
would be operated by the
Clayton County Mental
Health Center.
The program would cost
more than $15,000 annually
and is not expected to be in
operation before Jan. 1 at
the earliest. As much as 75
per cent of the cost might
be borne by the State De
partment of Family and
Children’s Services.
“We have attempted to
obtain funds for a tempo
rary program until then,”
Ordinary Joe Lane ex
plained, “but have been un
able to do so.”
Mr. Lane, who said Clay
ton County ranks first in
Georgia in the percentage
of its population commit
ting suicide, said the pro
gram will be proposed as a
part of next year’s county
budget.
Clayton County, besides
having a high suicide rate,
had 77 divorces filed last
year for every 100 marriage
licenses issued, Mr. Lane
said.
The program would ope
rate with teams of social
workers, psychiatrists and
nurses who would be on 24-
hour call.
Fulton County presently
operates a similar program.
The teams would make
emergency calls with police
and consult with and give

CITATION
By Direction of the
Secretary of the Army
The Army Commendation
Medal Is Presented to
Specialist Four E-4 Lewis A.
Marucci, Jr., RA14931858
United States Army
For distinguishing himself
by achievement on 18 April
1967, while serving as crew
chief of a CH-47 Chinook
Helicopter during a direct
combat support mission In
the Nui Ca Lang Mountains,
Republic of Vietnam. On
this date, Specialist Marucci,
with complete disregard for
his own safety, gathered ex
plosives and small arms am
munition that had broken
loose from the cargo hook of
his aircraft and impacted on
a steep slope of the moun
tains below. While the pilots
maintained the helicopter
on a slope with only the aft
landing gear on the ground,
Specialist Marucci departed
the aircraft, knowing that
the explosives might deto
nate any moment. Although
exposed to enemy sniper
fire, he helped recover the
entire load of cargo denying
the enemy a valuable cache.
Specialist Marucci’s out
standing display of courage
and devotion to duty is in
keeping with the highest
traditions of the military
service and reflects great
credit upon himself, his unit,
and the United States Army.
It was his second Citation
For Bravery.
Specialist Marucci is the
husband of Mrs. Janice
Marucci, and the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis A. Marucci
of Morrow, Ga. He has since
returned from Vietnam and
is now stationed in Savan
nah, Ga.
aid to families and individ
uals. Mr. Lane is the only
person in the county who
presently does such work.
“These people frequently
need expert help.” he said,
“and I am not qualified to
give it. Our only recourse, at
present, especially in suicide
cases, is to confine the per
son to jail for his own pro
tection. If a qualified person
were present to gb ’d. this
might not be necessary.”

About
Social
Security
How can the people of
Clayton County check their
Social Security record to see
that it includes all of their
earnings? This is important
since the amount of the So
cial Security benefit is based
on the credited earnings. It
could even mean the differ
ence in being eligible for
benefits or not.
Don Skaggs, District Man
ager of the East Point Social
Security Office, suggests
that all persons interested
in checking their account
call or write the Social Se
curity Office and ask for
Form OAR-7004. It is a sim
ple postcard addressed to the
Baltimore Records Office
which will furnish a state
ment of the taxable earnings
posted to the worker’s ac
count. Skaggs also advised
that the OAR-7004 be sent in
every three years. If an error
is found, it will be much
easier to correct than if de
tected years after the error
occurred.
Remember, earnings under
Social Security are impor
tant for retirement, in case
of disability, and for sur
vivors benefits.

See Ghosts
At Your
Library
If you’re weary of UFO’s
and would like to settle for
some good, old fashioned
ghosts for a change, visit the
Clavton County Library, 124
Smith Street, Jonesboro, or
the Forest Park Branch, 696
Main Street, and see their
Halloween trees. Each tree is
full of miniature ghosts.
The blithe little spirits are
perched on limbs ready to
scare the daylights out of
any and every unsuspecting
library patron who comes
near them.
These unusual Halloween
decorations are in the chil
dren’s section of the li
braries. They were planned
primarily for the youngsters,
but the staffs at both li
braries report the ghost
trees have had as many ad
mirers among the adults as
among the children.
