PSC Staff:
Utility Request
Is Excessive
Staffers of the Georgia
Public Service Commission
are recommending that nearly
SIOO million be trimmed from
the record $346 million annual
rate increase being sought by
the Georgia Power Co.
Georgia Power is one of
two electric utilities serving
Chattooga County.
Staff engineers Thursday
told the commission during a
hearing that the firm's
method of computing rates is
wrong and that the ut.ilitg'
keeps too much coal on hand.
Adgitionally. the staffers
said, the utility pays its
stockholders too much.
Georgia Power’s parent
company, Southern Co., paid
out dividends of 13 percent to
stockholders last year.
Utility officials said earlier
that inflation and the need to
lure investor capital prompted
the request. Company officials
were scheduled to formally
answer critics during a hear
ing scheduled for yesterday.

Time Away From School
Unimportant In Program
Stressing Basics, GED
The Adult Education Coor
dinator for Polk, Floyd and
Chattooga Counties, Susan
Hackney of Cedartown,
stresses that no matter how
long you have been out of
school‘,l you can still earn the
General Educational Develop
ment (GED) high school
equivalency certificate.
“Mature students make
good students,” she says, and
research studies bear this out.
The slight losses in mental
quickness that people tend to
sense as they grow older are
more than made up for by
gains in experience and
reasoning power, she says.
“Our experience has been
that adult students enjoy lear
ning and being back in
school,” Ms. Hackney says.
“Most students find that they
enjoK subjects, like math,
which they never particularl
liked as youngsters in schoo{
And progressing toward the
goal of a high school diploma,
which has been put off for
some years, is especially satis
fying to the more mature stu
dent.”
In the process of studyin
to take the GED Test, whicfi
is given either at Coosa Valley
Tech or Walker Tech,
students generally brush u
on rusty math and Englisg
skills, spend time reading in
the science and social studies
areas, and work on literature
and writing skills.
People who are not quite
ready for high school ?evel

By Jury In Robbery Case
A not guilty verdict was
returned last &’ednesday in
the re-trial of a young Sum

The frist trial of William

White was charged with

veterans' benefits and ser

Georgia Commissioner of
Veterans Affairs Pete

The one area affecting the

payable only in the cases of
deceased veterans who were in
receipt of, or were entitled to
receive, VA compensation or

The $l5O plot allowance

Heretofore, the burial
allowance was payable to all

Man Gets 12 Year Sentence
A young county resident
was sentenced to serve 12
years in a state prison last
Thursday evening after a
Chattooga County jury found
him gufity of two burglary
counts.
Billy Wayne Rogers, 23, of
Route 1 Box 254, Lyerly, was
sentenced to serve 6 years on
each burglary charge bi;
Superior Court Judge Joseg
“Bo”’ Loggins, with the
lse.nt,ences to run consecutive
y.
Rogers was convicted of
burglarizing Cook’s Phar
macy and Piggly Wiggly
Grocery Store, Eotfi in Trion,
on March 23.
The trial began last Thurs
day morning with testimony
from Joe Cook, owner of
Cook's Pharmacy, and then
from Larry Williams, manager
of the Trion Piggly Wiggly
store. They eacfi testified
about finding their businesses
broken into in the early hours
of March 23.
Investigator Tony
Gilleland took the stand next.
He told the jury he
photographed footprints in
side tfie drugstore as well as
outside the guilding. He also
described the events surroun
ding his investigation into the
two burglaries. Gilleland
testified that his investigation
led him to talk with Steve
Rogers, brother of the defen
dant.
The defendant’s brother,
Gilleland told the jury, took
the detective and Sgt. Ronnie
Turner of the sheriff's depart
ment, to a site in Alabama
where two garbage bags of
items and a money bag taken
in the burglaries were
recovered.
Steve Rogers was the next
to testify. Rogers, a resident
of Myrtle's Apartments in
Summerville, told the jury
that on the night of MarcL 22
he loaned 'l%mmy (James)
Bryan his car. Bryan, testified
Rogers, told him Ke was going
to the Dixie Oil (Service Sta
tion) in Trion to play pinball.
Rogers told the jury that
when Bryan returned later
that night, Rogers' brother
Wayne was with him. He
testified that the two had two
garbage bags with cigarettes,
money and other items in
them. Rogers told the {ury
that his brother had a blue
money bag, which was put
under the %iving room couch.
Several hours later, Rogers
said, police officers came to
the following week.
Fortunately for the City, it
won't have to pay for the en
tire job. The City has been ap
?roved for a matchinfi grant
rom a state source that will
pay for up to $70,000 of the

that flight training has been

brother and Bryan. After the
left, Rogers testified, he LOOK
the garbage bags and money
bag to Alabama, where he
threw them away because he
was ‘‘scared.” He said he later
took investigator Gilleland to
the site.
The state's next witness
was Timmy Bryan, who had
been charged with the two
burglaries along with Rogers.
Bryan, age 18, had earlier
plead guilty to the two
charges an(f, is serving a
5-year prison sentence.
When asked by assistant
district attorney Bill Slack if
he had borrowed Steve
Rogers' car on the night of
March 22, Bryan answered:
“No comment.” He was in
structed by Judge lLoggins
that he must answer the ques
tion. Bryan then answered:
“Yes." There were numerous
other questions asked by Pro
secutor Slack that Bryan
answered with ‘*No
comment.”’
Judge Loggins instructed
the jury to retire to the jury
room while the court deter
mined if Bryan had a constitu
tional right to plead the Fifth
Amendment, which sets out
that no person ‘‘shall be com
felled in any criminal case to
ye a witness against himself.”’
Judge Loggins appointed
Bobfiy Lee "guzz” Cook Jr. to
represent Bryan during the
hearing.
After several questions,
the court ruled that %ryan did
not have a constitutional right
to the Fifth Amendment as
the answers would not in
criminate him in any other
case. The jury returned to the
courtroom and Bryan was ad
vised by Judge Loggins to
answer all questions,
Bryan testified that he had
gicked Rogers up around
üb’s Cab that night and that
they went to Steve Rogers’
home, When he picked Rogers
up, Bryan told tfiejury, he did
not see any garbage bags or
any other items with him.
The state called Brenda
Ca;pent.er to the stand, who
said that she had seen Rogers
between 1 and 2 a.m. on
March 23. Mrs. Carpenter, a
former clerk at :ge Tom
Thumb Convenience Store in
Trion, testified that Rogers
came into the store for a few
minutes that night and was
