LOST — A little yellow and whfte Ter¬ rier. Ed Westmoreland Phone 887-2711 Telephone Open House For "Successful" Compony Over 300 local and out-of-town guests attended the Open House activities held last Sunday in 'Stan¬ dard Telephone Company’s Cleve¬ land Exchange office. This new office building houses the very latest in dial telephone equip¬ ment which now operates approxi¬ mately 1400 telephones in White County. While touring the Cleveland of¬ fice, visitors were reminded of the amazing growth which has taken place in the telephone in¬ dustry as they compared the dis¬ play of antique telephones with the more modern ones, which were also on display. Among the many special guests was Mrs. Carl Black of Cleveland. Mrs. Black operated the Cleve¬ land Exchange switchboard be¬ tween 1018 - 1010. As a token of their appreciation and esteem. H. M. Stewart, president, present¬ ed Mrs. Black with an extension telephone, ehanges-free for one year on behalf of the personnel of Standard Telephone Company. Drawing for the door prize was Mrs. W. E. Joyner, wife of Bill Joyner, public relations supervise or of Southern Bell Telephone Company, Atlanta. The winner was Mrs. Sara Dodd; who, by-the way, was the very first visitor to register. An extension telephone of Mrs. Dodd’s choice will be in¬ stalled in her home, charges-free for one year. This occasion marked another milestone in the life and growth of Standard Telephone Company in its pursuit to be "a partner in the development of northeast Georgia.” Carrier Skips Segregated African WASHINGTON City f (UPI) Tho — US. aircraft carrier Independence has canceled a refueling stop in South Africa later this month be cause her Negro crew members )» would be "twwekojne >” th# segregationist nation, according to official sources. No specific reason has been an nounced tor Ffipfellation of the planned stop lit Capetown May 28-31. The Defense Department said under questioning only that the visit was called off “tor oper¬ ational reasons.” The State Department would say only that there had been a change in plans and declined fur¬ ther Comment. The South African embassy said it knew nothing about the cancellation. On-Job Training Program Approved At Gainesville ATLANTA, Ga. — An on-job training program under the Man¬ power Development and Training Act has been approved in the Gainesville, Georgia, area accord¬ ing to an announcement here to¬ day by Charles N. Conner, region¬ al dircetor of the U. S. Depart¬ ment of Labor’s Bureau of Appren¬ ticeship and Training. Conner said that an agreement with Chadbourn-Gotham Inc., pro¬ vides that 15 unemployed men will be trained as knitting machine fixers. The firm contemplates steady employment for the men upon satisfactory completion of their 16-week training courses. The Deaprtment of Labor has authorized expenditures of $9,058 in training costs. The contracting firm has estimated that it will pay $17,472.00 in wages to the trainees. Conner said that approval of the program was based on an actual shortage of skilled men needed to keep the machines in operation. More information on this type of training program can be had from James O. Long, state super¬ visor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, Room 528, 1371 Peachtree Street, N. E., Atlanta, Georgia. 'R a MR. MERCHANT ^ PI COMMUNITY Tho EYES of WOULD THE **~ BE ON YOUR AD- / Ebb V IT HAD BEEN fT r FOR FINE PRINTING isn Point of View • to By Romo* Drummond (Written especially for Th# Christian Science Monitor) WaahtngVtn — It isn’t enough to view with dis¬ may the sharply increasing crime rate throughout the United States. The need is for alertness with¬ out alarm. The! rising wave of crime ia America is not something which is taking place only in 'the cities, The crime rate is going up faster ia the suburbs. What is needed is an anti-crime wave generated by civic groups — Chambers of Commerce, Rotary, P-TA, League of Women Voters — equal to arresting and reversing the mounting crime. The first ingredient is a determi¬ nation not to coat over the facto and to realize that this is not some¬ thing which is happening far away but is almost certainly happening in your own community. Ihe blunt truth is that conditions are getting worse, mot better. The Federal Bureau of Invests gation reports that more than two and one quarter million serious crimes occurred during 1983 — a 10 per cent increase over the pre¬ vious year. The increase was 3 per cent greater in suburban areas than in the more heavily populated cities, For the first nine months of 1964 crime of every type increased at a still higher rate. (Crimes committed by juveniles are rising even more rapidly than crimes by adults. More than 40 per cent of all arrests for serious crimes involved people under 19. The most revealing statistic of is that for the past six y**?t of crime has increased five faster than the fate of pop¬ ulation growth. I think we need to /ppnder these sober words from the President of the American Bar Association, Lewis F. Powell, Jr., of Richmond, Va.: ‘ “When we have reached a situ¬ ation when law-abiding citizens are denied the privilege of using our public streets and parks tor fear of their personal safety, we are approaching a breakdown in tbe first duty of government at all levies. “We can't await the millennial when crime will wither sway be¬ cause it* underlying causes are re¬ moved. We must act now to jab tect decent citizens frdm criminal molestation of their persons and property.” Obviously there is no simple or single cure-all. This is a complex problem involving social conditions as well as moral standards, es¬ pecially when there is high un¬ employment at a time of wide? spread prosperity. But there are constructive steps which citizens at the local level can take individually and collec¬ J. Edgar Hoover, who is closer to this problem than most, strongly urges “stiffer laws and sterner policies,” especially toward hardened criminals. The American Bar Association is initiating a major program to improve the administration of jus¬ tice. Civic groups could usefully join together to give public support for this cause in every community. Public apathy, unwillingness to become involved is a visible de¬ terrent to law enforcement. There are many examples of the serious lack of citizen support of police and enforcement officers. These rings from unwillingness to testify in court to open toleration of unlaw¬ ful conduct. The president of the American Bar Association fairly points to a i recent incident in Chicago when l three young thugs brutally beat a single patrolman while some 30 adults watched, as if, as he put it, “it were a midnight show on TV." It seems to me that the begin¬ ning step is citizen involvment at the local level in each community. — citizen support for better polic¬ ing, better police training, better police pay — in order to accele brate an anticrime wave of de¬ cisive proportions.
