Twenty years of service
Kellwood Company presented 20-
year service awards to two employees
Thursday. Eddie Lee McGhee receives

While real estate agents arc not re
quired to display the logo, they arc
encouraged to pul it in their win
dows, said Johnny While, equal
opportunity specialist with the
Housing and Urban Development
Authority.
That logo will also be used in
print advertisements and the yellow
pages. Only one Perry real estate
agent, Landmark Really, is
displaying the fair housing logo in
its yellow pages ad.
Perry's Board of Realtors will
also have to start sending represen
tatives to Community Housing
Resource Board meetings held in
Bobby,

and trucks that pass, with men
drivers, that don’t stop to help me.
I finally have to gel out in the
highway and direct traffic around the
wrecked cars because by this time
it's obvious that most of the mo
torists arc not going to stop and
offer their help.
After maybe 15 minutes,a woman,
driving alone, comes onto the scene
and stops. She gets out of her car
and runs to the wrecked car to offer
the injured women inside her help.
She slays on the scene until the
State Patrol arrives from Perry.
After Corporal Blackslock from
the patrol in Perry arrived and look
over, my family and I
proceeded on our trip. 1 thought to
myself . . . that I hope to God we
never get involved in a wreck. . . .
After what 1 just witnessed, I had
the frightening realization that a
person could die on the highway
before some people would stop and
offer their help . . . The problem is
lhat a lot of people just don't want
to get involved . . . People are too
busy and unconcerned and it's a bad
wrinkle in our society lhat probably
never will be ironed out. . . It
makes me sick to think about it.

Perry High Principal Eric Staples
will sit on the stage of a high
school graduation for his 42nd and
last time next Tuesday night. He's
retiring from the school business
after 42 years.
Ten years ago: May 24,
1979 - Hard work and dedication
paid off for Lynn Smith last Satur
day when the Perry High senior
bested the field with a mark of 12
feel, 6 inches to win the slate AAA
title in the pole vault at the Georgia
Olympics in Jefferson. Smith is
bound for the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point this fall. •
An era of unprecedented growth and
prosperity for Perry was predicted
Monday by Mayor James McKin
ley. The mayor said plans now on
the drawing boards call for expand
ing city hall, the city utility barn,
the city library and the city sewage
treatment plant. • Building Inspec
tor Lanny Coffman has asked
Mayor James McKinley and mem
bers of the city council to support
him in a campaign to eliminate
substandard housing in Perry.
Coffman launches his campaign
during a council meeting when he
exhibited 20 photos of shabby and
decaying houses located within the
city limits. • From its root to the
lop, the turnip measured 30 inches.
Charles W. Lindsey of 811 Ball
Street says it's the biggest he's ev
ery seen, and he's been farming a
long time. Lindsey grew the turnip
on land he farms in Grovania. "That
ole boy just volunteered to gel that
big," he said of the 8 1/2-pound
turnip grown without fertilizer.
Supervisor Edgar Smith. Receiving
Department Supervisor Steve Riner
presents Pat Howard her service award.
Warner Robins.
Real estate developer and busi
nessman James Plcydell-Bouverie
presented the program. After he
gave a brief summary of his back
ground, Plcydell-Bouverie spoke
about his philosophy on land use
and his new 600-acrc Northsidc
Perry Development project.
Plcydell-Bouverie said lhat the
important thing in land develop
ment is "to look at the big picture."
He said that if you sell land off acre
by acre, you lose control. "We have
a more long-term vision of large
tracts of land," he said.
Plcydoll-Bouveric’s planned
community, between Houston Lake
Road, 41 North and Lake Joy Road,
will include single-family homes,
commercial frontage property, and
possibly a golf course, a swimming
pool and tennis courts. Landscaping
is a key factor in development, ac
cording to Plcydell-Bouverie. One
of his goals is to make new houses
"not look like such a new house"
by landscaping.
"Perry has a standard, and we
have a responsibility to help it stay
that way," he said.
In other board matters, seven
new members of the board were
named: Wayne Hammock, Vondenc
McSwain, Daniel Walker, Leon
Watson, Judy Hall, Lee Jones and
Richard Spruill.
Susan Langdon was elected the
new secretary of the board.
The president of the Georgia
Association of Realtors will be the
speaker at next month's board
meeting on Thursday, June 22.

Artist,
from P-1 A
At Morningsidc, Chcronskcc
volunteers his talents. He helps the
teachers with bulletin board dis
plays and drawings.
Cheronskec thinks he picked up
his special artistic talent from his
dad's side of the family. The young
lad says his father once sketched in
detail an entire engine from an au
tomobile.
Chcronskce says drawing helps
him relax. He likes to go to his
room at home and draw. "It relaxes
me," he says.
This summer, between playing
ball and having fun, Chcronskcc
hopes to make more clay sculp
tures, a new area of art he's getting
more into.
And he wants to start working in
oils to expand his artwork from
pens, markers and water colors.
Chcronskcc plans to continue
studying art through school and
major in it in college. He believes
lhat you "must help yourself" to be
successful in life.
His teachers believe that
Chcronskcc "will be heard from in
the future,"
One day, Chcronskecs may hang
on the walls of America's muse
ums, beside the Picassos.

Chamber,

committee expenses. The chamber
originally budgeted $7,500 for
committees and the revised budget
calls for $12,006, according to
Bishop.
"I feel like this revised budget is
realistic. We can do it," he said.
Although chamber board mem
bers tossed around several ideas for
fundraisers, one was not selected.
Chamber President Tom Daniel se
lected a committee to work on the
project.
Patriots,
from P-1 A
said.
Students and teachers wore red,
white and blue clothes on Thursday
to celebrate and everyone had an
"All American Picnic" outside.
The students created their own
special flag in the cafeteria. It
covers an entire wall and is made up
of cutouts of students' hands.
Teachers said two ROTC cadets
from Perry High School arc sched
uled to play "Taps" on each hall of
the middle school Monday morning
during homeroom to honor Memo
rial Day.
Advise,
from P-1 A
gubernatorial candidate Lauren
"Bubba" McDonald, who also
attended the Wednesday night
session.
As part of the session, two
volunteers held mock press
conferences which were videotaped
for the audience to critique. Acting
as die press corps, the audience fired
questions at the volunteers after
each presented a press release
outlining a new policy.
D.M. Mullis, chairman of the
Laurens County Commission,
defended a new water program
against some sharp questions posed
by members of the audience.
Houston County State Court
Clerk Sissy Gann presented a suite
report on the appointment of a drug
task force head.
The audience viewed the
videotapes and heard Walker's advice
on how to improve speaking and
question fielding.
In addition to style, Walker added
that in order to combat "the erosion
of die Dcmocradc parly," candidates
must be well versed on toxic waste,
clean air and water, health care and
industrial development. "And
you've got to have the research to
back it up," he said.
Walker ended the session with
his slogan, "When you cease to be
belter, you cease to be good,"
The next session of the series
will be held on Tuesday in
Thompson, and then it will move
on to Athens on Wednesday.
Speaker of the House Tom
Murphy was expected to attend the
session in Perry, but could not
because of a family obligation.
Sponsors for the session were
the Petroleum Council, the
Chiropractic Association and the
Coca-Cola Company.
