inc in the picture. She, along with a
17-year-old high school students, spent part of
last week visiting Convenience and Package
Stores around :gc county, purchasing beer
from owners and clerks.
My son, who had been in business one
week, attended Chnttoog: High School with
the deputy and counted her a personal friend.
She drove up to his station in a blue Chevette,
out of uniform, waved from her car and sent
her colrnion in to purchase beer. My son
knew deguty’s approximate “:n and
figured by her companion’s dress make

Tornado Awareness
Dear Editor:
The week of Feb. 24 to March 2 has been
set as Tornado Awareness Week in Georgia.
As in the past, this week has been set aside as
;I&eriod in which Georgia citizens should
e a special effort to become familiar with
tornado safety measures.
We are now entering the most dangerous
time of the year for tornadoes, and since these

if we need to be hospitalized, not the doctors.
The doctor calls Provident and tells Provident
