among 300 vocational

Georgia. He is director of

L.A. McConnell,
chairman of the school
board, said it was a
distinct honor for the
board to draw up a
resolution honoring the
Lamberts.
“This is the first time
we’ve ever had a husband
and wife team receive
high state honors the
same year,” McConnell
said. “I believe it is
appropriate for us to
adopt a resolution ex

outstanding service to the

Mrs. Lambert told the

award,” Mrs. Lambert
said. “I also believe the
award is a tribute to the
students in the school
system.”
Holiday Garbage
Pick-up Schedule

The new garbage and
bagged trash collection is
working fine -- but -- the
Sanitation Department
just hasn’t gotten the
word out about no
collections on
HOLIDAYS. So they
would like citizens to see
the schedule and they
ask that everyone help
spread the word - HOLD
IT ON THE HOLIDAYS.
Don’t put your cart out -

Correction
The Nov. 9 edition of
The Home Journal
reported that the six
voting machines to be
used in Perry city
election on Dec. 4 would
be rented at the rate of
S3O each for a total of
SIBO.
This was an erroneous
statement because the
machines will not be
rented. The machines
will be provided at no
charge by the Houston
County Elections Board.
The city will pay
William C. "Bill” Cox
and Billie Cox to act as
voting machine
custodians at the rate of
S3O for each machine for
a total of SIBO.
The Home Journal
regrets the error.
New Security Sought
School Board To
Combat Vandals
In the wake of moun
ting burglaries and
vandalism in Houston
County schools, the
school board discussed
security devices and
alarms during a regular
session in Perry Tuesday.
“We’ve been talking
about security for seven
years, but we haven’t
accomplished anything,”
said school board
member Bill George. “I
think we ought to appoint
(board member) Wayne
Lowe as a committee of
one to study the
problem.”
Prior to George’s
comment, Lowe had
explained to the board
how one fairly inex
pensive device would
turn on the lights of a
burglarized room, and
automatically set off
sirens and a flashing light
on top of the building.
School Transportation
and Maintenance
Director Herb St. John
briefed board members
on a device that is being
used in school buildings
that allows local police
departments to listen to
what is going on in the
buildings at' night by
monitoring a sound
device.
Earlier in the session,
St. John presented the
board with a report on the
number of break-ins and
the amount of property
damage sustained by
county schools during
October.
St. John’s report states
there were 43 incidents of
accidents or vandalism
during October, and that
he placed the value of the
damages at $719.80. He
noted, however, that of
the total property
damage, $99.15 was
determined to be ac
cidental.
St. John’s report stated
that the first break-in
happened on Oct. 2 at
Warner Robins Jr. High
School, when equipment
valued at $1,316.90 was
stolen from the school. He
said the stolen items
included two tape
recorders, three video
tapes, and one tape
player.
The report states that
Warner Robins Jr. High
was entered again on Oct.
5, and that thieves took
one black and white
up on the next regular
collection day. Holidays
