ELECT Bit a jas. h. "jim” harmon DISTRICT ATTORNEY “CRIMINAL TRIAL EXPERIENCE IS WORTH VOTING FOR” is his slogan for this campaign, JIM HARMON feels that experience is the real issue in the District Attorney race.

The monthly meeting of the Authority was drawing to a rather uneventful close when authority member Sherrill Stafford of Cen terville startled everyone present by requesting Mc- Donald to prepare a list showing the average number of births at the Perry and Warner Robins Hospitals that occur during two time periods; between 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M., and between 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. McDonald humorously said that he would comply with Stafford’s request at a subsequent meeting. When asked why he wanted such birth in formation, Stafford would only reply, “I’ve got my reasons.” So everyone left the meeting mystified and intrigued. As Paul Stalnaker, another authority member put it, “I’m just wondering what his reasons are.” rstop i I DRIVING I I If You Are I Drinking Perry Police Report Except for automobile accidents, the pace was a bit slower during the past week for the Perry Police Department.
